Hood Love

Trippin' (6)

"I can't believe you had sex with him." Mariah laughed.

"You had sex with Jacob." Tracy said as she put on a Chanel shirt.

"Yeah, but I didnt lose my virginity to him."

"Yeah, but you slept with him anyway..." Tracy retorted.

"I'm just saying, he had to be buying you all these expensive things for something." Mariah giggled.

"At least he buys me things. When was the last time Jacob bought you something?"

Mariah rolled her eyes. "Whatever Tracy!"

"Girl I don't know why you been trippin' listen, I can tell you're a little jealous but Jacob protected you just like Chresanto protected me when those niggas was shooting at us. Just because he doesn't buy you a lot of things doesn't mean anything..." Tracy says.

Chresanto and Jacob sat there counting their money at Jacob spare place where he keeps the drugs.

"So, how much you saving until you gonna quit the game?" Jacob asks as he puts his money into a safe.

"At least 4 million. I just hit a million a few weeks ago." Chresanto says putting his money in his pocket.

"Maybe if you wasn't spending all your money on Tracy...." Jacob laughed.

"Most of that money is just money I saved up from the state. Besides, I like spoiling her with gifts. You would think she would be used to it by now, but she still tries to stop me from buying her things." Chresanto said with a smile.

"Maybe you should listen to her. Why do you separate your state money from your hustle money?"

"My state money is the money I spend most of the time and my hustle money is what I save." Chresanto explained. "Them checks be crazy."

"So why don't you just live off of those checks?" Jacob asked confused.

"Because I do live off of them while I hustle and save up until I reach where I wanna be." He explains.

"Damn that's smart." Jacob laughed. "You and Tracy going out tonight?"

"Yeah, we just kickin' it at her place though."

"Oh, cool then Mariah and I will be by there."

"Alright...." Chresanto says before drinking some of his water.

Chresanto got over at Tracy house around 9:30 that night.

"Jacob said he's gonna come over with Mariah." Chresanto said as he watched TV.

"Okay..." She said in a blank tone.

"What's wrong?" Chresanto asks turning down the Tv.

"Mariah be trippin' sometimes."

"What you mean?"

Right before Tracy was about to explain there was a knock on the door. Tracy got up and opened the door for Jacob and Mariah and greeted them. They walked in and sat on the seat while Tracy and Chresanto were sitting on the long couch.

"This is a nice place." Jacob said looking around the living room.

"Thank you!" Tracy smiled.

"I'm surprised he hasn't bought you a new place." Mariah said with a smile on her face but she was being serious.

"So, what makes y'all wanna come by here?" Tracy asks.

"Mariah and I don't have nothin' else to do and Chresanto is always talking about you."

"Away my king talking about his queen?" Tracy laughs pinching his cheeks.

"What king doesn't like bragging about his queen?" Chresanto says kissing her on the lips.

Mariah rolls her eyes and looks at Jacob who's playing a game on his phone.

"How come we can't have a relationship like that baby?" Mariah whines to jacob.

"Like who?" Jacob asks looking up from his phone.

"Tracy and Chresanto."

"Because we're not them." Jacob laughed.

"But he's always buying her things and taking her to all these nice places." Mariah complained.

Jacob laughed and looked at Mariah. "Why are you trippin'?"

"Jacob this is not funny!"

"Uhh do we need to let y'all talk?" Chresanto asks.

"Nah, it's cool I'm gonna handle this I see you tomorrow. Come on!" Jacob said getting up and leaving with Mariah.

"I know what you mean..." Chresanto laughs.

"Chres, why do you buy me so many things?" Tracy asked.

"My queen deserves the best." He smiled, but that wasn't a good answer for her.

"I'm serious baby. You buy me all these things and even pay my bills..." Tracy says.

Chresanto looks into Tracy eyes and knew exactly what she was thinking.

"Do you think I'm playin' you or something?" Chresanto asks scrunching his eyes.

"It feels like it." She folds her eyes.

"Playing you for what?" Chresanto says in a serious tone. "If I wanted to play I would've dropped you a long time ago. You can trust me Tracy."

"I hope so..." Tracy says in a low tone.

Chresanto left that night since he had business to take care of early in the morning the next day. Jacob gave Mariah a promise ring and a new dress to make her happy and she was.
