The beaming sunlight shining through the blinds onto my face woke me up. I turn on my left to face a sleeping Lorenzo which made me smile. He has such a cute sleeping face.
Last night after Cruz left turned chaotic. We all knew that we had to do something about it. All the pressure was turned on Diablo and I. Both of us knew the answer but we didn't want to be the ones to make the call... Cruz and his homies need to die. If he hasn't already he could turn on us and let the MS know where all our operations are.
"What are you thinking about?" Diablo's deep voice rumbled.
"You're awake," I whisper.
"Yeah," he pauses. "You good?"
"Just thinking about everything that went down last night. Do think we made the right call?"
He sighs, "last night Cruz made it clear that he doesn't give a shit about the gang anymore but that wasn't really my motive. If his girl had the balls to point a gun at you in front of all of us she won't hesitate to bring it out in the streets and this time actually kill you."
"I can take good care of myself, Lorenzo."
"I know that baby but I ain't risking it. I'll go insane if I ever lose you," he pecks my lips. "I love you too fucking much."
"I love you too baby," I smiled then reached for another kiss.
"What time is it?" he asks.
I reached for my phone once more to check. "Damn I thought it was past noon but it's only ten."
"Shit there's a few things I need to get done at the trap," he says sitting up.
"I can help if you want," I offered. "Lets just take a quick shower then buy something to eat on our way."
"Let's?" he questions with a grin.
I shrug casually, "no I mean it's up to you."
I get off the bed and walked to the bathroom already in the nude. Like I thought he would, he followed me. Thankfully he has an apartment for himself.
The shower took longer than usual because well, you know, things happened. I was lucky enough to have some clothes here that I've left behind in previous sleepovers. Now that I think about it, half of his closet if full of my clothes.
I changed into the outfit of the day and was in the mood to do my makeup once again. My hair was also behaving it was nice and smooth and wavy.

"And were finally done!" I groan throwing the damn pen and clipboard on the table.
We've been in the trap house for two hours now doing a supply check. Recently we've been getting more and more supply which is good money wise but it's a pain distributing it into amounts for the dealers. I've suggested many times to have members do this but Dragon always said no.
"I swear if I was in here by myself I wouldn't have been half way done," Diablo says.
Just as he finished his sentence my phone ringing. I look at the caller ID and don't recognize the phone number.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey Ronnie it's Marissa."
"Oh hey what's up?" I smiled making Diablo wonder who I'm talking too.
"Nothing really just wanted to know if you would maybe want to come to the mall with me? I mean if you're not busy."
"Um yeah sure what time?"
