The Woods [Book One]

Two

I somehow managed to get Toni alone while Johnny danced and played around with her two friends in the booth. She followed me to the dance floor and stood in front of me looking up at me, did I mention she was short as shit? Them heels added some height but they didn't make her even with me.

"I hope you know how to dance." She said grabbing my hand dragging me deeper into the crowd of people. Not to be rude or anything but the ENTIRE time, I had my eyes on her ass. It was just begging for me to squeeze it and right now? That's all a I wanted to do.

"I can crip walk?" I said chuckling bringing her into me against my chest and she wrapped her arms around my neck.

"What if I can't crip walk?" She asked giggling.

Her giggle was cute as fuck.

"Then you slacking baby." I let go of her and started crip walking to the beat of Twist my fingaz by Yg. I danced around in her face for a while until she picked up on my feet movements and began moving her feet just like me. "Aight Toni." I gassed her as she moved around the floor C-walking.

She started laughing and grabbed my hand and we started moving together, she moved out and I moved in. Other people around us started doing it too and gasses us as we both did it. The song switched to a slow song and everybody 'booed' the dj and we started laughing.

First time by IMx blasted through the speakers of the club and everybody grabbed someone and started they're slow dance. I looked at Toni and she held her hand out for me to take and I placed my hand in hers but I pulled her towards me and she wrapped her arms around my neck and my hands went to the small of her back as we swayed side to side to the beat of the music.

We danced around the club until the song was over and then we held hands going up to VIP again. I looked for Johnny's ignorant ass as we got back but he wasn't around so me and Toni just sat in the booth next to each other, well more like she was in my lap. I had one arm around her waist and one behind me on the booth as we just stared at each other.

"So tell me, Eric, what do you do?" She asked moving around in my lap to get more comfortable. Girl don't be doing that.

I'm surprised she didn't know who I was, not to be cocky or anything but I was very well known in the streets of California and I found it odd how she didn't know who I was. Even if she didn't know who I was I wasn't gonna tell her straight up that I trafficked drugs for a living. So I had to make up some sort of little lie to tell her.

"I own my own clothing store." I said reaching for my glass to take a drink.

Nice one E.

"Wow, I've always wanted to have my own clothing line." She said taking my glass taking a sip of the Hennessy I had in the glass. I guess when she noticed it was Hennessy she handed it back to me with a sour face. It was cute though. "That's strong." She laughed causing me to chuckle.

"That's Henny baby, you ain't rolling with the big dogs yet." I said drinking the last that I had in my cup.

"Whatever." She laughed.

I noticed Johnny came back up with both of her friends on his arms and when he sat down they both clung to him like he was a fur coat or some shit. He looked over at me and smirked before giving his attention to one of the girls that he had with him.

"So miss Toni," I said pushing her hair behind her shoulder. "What about you? What do you do for a living?" I asked looking at her gorgeous ass face.

"Well I just moved down here from Philly a couple of weeks ago. I know Johnny's sister Kandi and she told me she opened a hair shop not to far from here so right now, I'm doing hair." She explained. I nodded my head with my lips poked out. It was good babygirl had her own thing going on right now. Especially with her just moving down here and everything.

"You said you just moved down here?"

"Yeah. "

"Why you move down here ma?"I asked pouring another cup of liquor. I held up my cup asking her if she wanted some but she shook her head no and I shrugged taking a sip.

"My parents didn't agree with my lifestyle when I was younger so I save up my money for a while and finally moved away like I had been planning." She shrugged.

"I'm glad you did what you thought was best for you sweetheart."

"Thank you." She smiled.

"Aye E, let's roll man." Johnny said making me smack my lips. He stood up putting his phone in his pocket and grabbed his keys out his pocket making his way to the stairs with one of the two females with him on his arm.

"Aight mama," I tapped Toni's thigh for her to get up and she moved off my lap and slid over to the other side of the booth. I stood up and pulled my jeans up and walked over to her leaning down to her face.

"Hopefully I'll see you again sweet thang." I said to her softly which caused her to laugh. She looked up at me and grabbed my face bringing it down to hers but instead of her kissing my lips which I hopped she didn't, she kissed my cheek.

"You'll see me soon. Trust." She winked at me.

I shook my head and walked down the stairs meeting Johnny half way and we both walked out the club and walked over to our cars.

"I seen you trynna push up on Toni nigga." He said as I checked my phone at my car. I laughed.

"Aye man," I chuckled holding my hands up in defense. "She a cool person dawg."

"Nah you just trynna fuck, you hoe." He laughed getting into his Escalade.

"If she down, Jr will be making his appearance." I said hopping into my all black Bentley and pulling out the parking lot behind Johnny.
