The Woods [Book One]

Four

"Touch down nigga!" Me and Johnny shouted standing up from the bleachers laughing. Johnny's little brother Marco scored the second touchdown in the game making their team ahead on the scoreboard. We laughed and sat back down on the bleachers.

"So how was mama's birthday?" He asked watching Marco pass the ball to one of his other team mates.

"It was good, took her shopping and to get her hair done." I said opening my pineapple Fanta and taking a drink. "But guess who I saw?" I smirked.

He side eyed me.

"Who?" I smirked.

"Toni." His eyes bulged and he had to do a double take.

"Whatchu do bro?" He asked focusing back on the game.

"I didn't do anything. Yet." I smirked.

Johnny laughed and tossed his bottle into the trash can that was near us. It seemed like every Friday night me and Johnny came to Marcos game since their mom was always working late at night so we came to support him.

"Maaannn, I forgot to tell you what happened at Shaunie house last night." I busted out laughing. Shaunie is this cougar who Johnny been fucking around with since he was at least eighteen. The girl was married and had kids but she and Johnny been undercover since he graduated high school. I told him to leave her ass alone because her husband chased his ass down the street one time with a damn gun while Johnny was bare booty ass naked.

"What happened man?" I said chuckling.

"So I was breaking her off right? And her son gon knock at the door," My eyes bulged out my head before I started laughing again. "Shut up nigga, let me finish." He started laughing too. "So she tell him to go back down stairs and then her daughter come up barging in the room. This bitch gon push me off the bed so I bust my ass on the carpet and I just lay there. Then her daughter start asking questions about where the damn cereal at! And this entire time I'm like "I know this lil girl did not bust in here for some damn cereal".

By now I was dying laughing. Johnny always had some funny shit to say about Shaunie and her kids, from the stories he told me Shaunie's kids always would interrupt them when they were having sex.

"Man you need to leave that old lady alone." I said cracking up.

Deep down inside it's pretty obvious why Johnny was still fucking with Shaunie. She took his virginity, and he may fuck with other girls but he and I know he's in love with Shaunie.

"I couldn't stop fucking with Shaunie if I tried." He mumbled.

"Maybe you should try." I said being sarcastic. He smacked his lips and pushed me and I almost fell off the bleachers into some girl that was coming up them. I looked up and seen her once again and I smirked, it was hella funny that I kept seeing her ass everywhere I went.

She looked down at me most likely feeling shocked because this would be her third time seeing me today. I smirked and placed my self back on the bleachers allowing her to finishing walking up them, and I didn't mind that we didn't speak at all. I knew eventually that she would speak to me, after all I always get what I want.

Me and Johnny continued to joke around during the game, talking shit, normal stuff for us. It was tied right now and I told Johnny I would be back because I was getting hungry and I wanted some damn food. So I stood up and walked down the bleachers going to the food stands on the basketball courts. I haven't eaten since lunch and that was a twelve and right now it was eight thirty. I decided on getting some chicken wings and fries since I didn't want them cheap ass nachos.

I waited in line behind this girl while I was occupied on my phone scrolling through my Instagram timeline liking pictures.

"You guys don't except cards?" She asked causing me to look up from my phone and smirk. I knew it.

"No ma'am." The worker said looking at her dig around in her purse. "If you don't mind I'm gonna have you step to the side so I can help the next customer." Toni turned her head around and noticed me and my smirk and jetted off to the side zipping her wallet back and stuffing it back in her purse. I kept my cocky ass smirk on my face and stepped up to the register ordering my hot wings and fries.

In the corner of my eye I could see Toni on her phone most likely talking to her friend who walked up the bleachers with her.

"Girl I don't have cash and they don't accept cards." She said frustrated.

I decided to be a nice nigga today.

"Excuse me," I called to the worker. She looked up from what she was doing and made her way back over to me. "How much was her food?" I slickly nodded over to Toni who was now pacing on the phone.

"It was six fifty." The lady said. I nodded and pulled my wallet out handing her a ten dollar bill and telling her to keep the change. She handed me my food and then Toni's food. I said thank you and then walked over to where Toni was by the entrance to go up the bleachers where she was with her friend who was handing her a ten dollar bill. When I approached them Toni had her back toward me and her friend stopped speaking mid sentence causing her to turn around.

I held her food up to her eye level gesturing for her to take it.

"You didn't have to do that, I have the cash." She quickly explained lightly shoving the food away from me.

"I didn't, but I did."

"Well take this?" She took the food out of my hand and placed her ten dollar bill in my hand.

"I don't want this." I said placing it back in her hand.

"It's the least I could do." She placed it back in my hand but before I could slap it back in her hand she grabbed her friends hand and they both walked back up the stairs going to the bleachers.

I smirked once again.

She ain't know.

I skipped up the stairs and quickly spotted her looking for another seat at the bottom. I bit my bottom lip making my way towards her and she didn't even notice me next to her since there were people around. I swiftly stuck the ten dollar bill in her back pocket making sure to leave my hand there for a moment. When she realized that something was in her pocket she turned around and I winked and slipped away going back up the bleachers with Johnny.

"Nigga what the fuck took you so long?" Johnny said as I plopped back in my seat.

"Hop off my nuts nigga." I said picking up one of my wings and bit into it.

"Imma leave that to one of yo hoes." He mumbled.

"At least I got hoes. Yo cougar chasing ass." I said causing him to bust out laughing.

"I got hoes nigga, don't do me."

"Where?" I stale faced him.

I waited for him to say something but he just bit his lip staring at the field. I couldn't help but die laughing because we all know Johnny sprung ass didn't have no bitches. At all.

"Exactly nigga shut yo lovey dovey ass up." I said eating some more of my food.

"Eventually nigga, one day. Someone gon wife yo ass up and you gon be the lovey dovey ass nigga then." He smirked and snatched a wing out the box and ate it.
