What The Heart Wants (ON HOLD)

Ch. 14 Pt. 2

Leila

My heart was beating out of my chest as we were on the way to Cedric's place. I didn't even know what would go down once we got there.

Will Lisa be there? Will I have to beat her ass? Will I be able to keep Renny out of trouble with Feds?

Don't get me wrong, I ain't never been a scary bitch. But, the last thing I want is for my brother to catch assault charges over Ced's bum ass. My thoughts were interrupted,

"Renny, slow down. I just got my car fixed!"

He continues to ignore me as he speeds down the street.

"Renard, slow the fuck down before we get a ticket!"

He gently puts his foot on the break. Looking over at me, he sighs.

"My bad, Lei. I just can't believe that nigga hurt you. I promised myself that I would never let a dude lay hands on you, Lynn or even Ghaliyah. On everything, Ced catchin' this fade, on sight my dude."

"It's all good, I should've never let the shit happen. I just froze up when I looked into his eyes. I'd never seen that type of rage in him before. Plus, he'd never been dumb enough to lay hands on me before."

"Well, we'll handle this shit once we get there. Fight first, ask questions later."

"You think we need backup?"

"Hmm...call Tia just in case we need a witness."

"Cool."

I dial her number and wait for her to pick up.

"What's up, love?"

"Tia, we got an emergency; Code T-H-O-T."

"You ain't said nothing but a word. Where we going?"

"Ren's driving me to Ced's right now. Are you with Jamal?"

"Yeah."

"Okay. Don't tell him shit. Just make something up and meet us there in five."

"Aight cool."

See, this is why T is my motherfuckin' right hand.

As we pull up in front of the house we see two more cars outside.

I look over at Ren, "We got company."

He smiles, "That's light work. You remember Atlantic City?"

"How could I forget? Caesars, two of us and six bodyguards. Nothing to it."

"Damn right, let's get it."

We park the car two houses down and hop out. I go into the trunk and lace up my Timbs for the occasion.
