"Get her"I heard them yell. I ran as fast as I could and made it to my truck. I unlocked it and got inside and then locked the door. I tried to turn on the car on but I was so scared that my hands were shaking.
I heard banging and seen them. "Open...
"Ok! I'm ready"I said walking down the stairs. I seen reem biting his bottom lip making me smirk in satisfaction.

"Where we going reem?"I asked as he inter whined our hands.
"We just going out to dinner you know"He said as we walked out the house and to his Bentley.
"Well thank you for taking me out"I said as I got in the passenger.
"No problem"He said starting the car up and driving off.

We arrived at this place called Minton's which looked a lil laid back so I was kinda glad I didn't go all out. Reem went around and opened the door for me.
"What a gentlemen"I smiled.
"I try"He smiled as I grabbed his hand. He helped me out the car and we walked inside and I heard jazz music.
"You know you look beautiful tonight"
"Thanks reem. You don't look to bad yourself"I said because he was looking nice.

"Do you have a reservation?"A man asked us as he looked me up and down biting his lip.
"Yes! We have a reservation. So can you stop looking my girl up and down like that"Reem said.
"Um.......sorry sir. What's the reservation under?"He said looking startled.
"Rakim Mayers"He said and the man froze. I guess he really is known around here.
"This way please"The man said guiding us to our table. Reem pulled out my chair and I sat down.
"Thanks"I said as he sat down.
"No problem"
"So what made you want to come here"I said looking at the jazz players on stage. The lights were very dim in this restaurant and there was candles in the middle of the table.
"Me and the mob use to go here when we just wanted to hang out you know. The jazz is just calming for us. You know it's not a lot of places where you can find peace and this is just one of the places for me"He said looking down at the menu.
"What's your story?"
"My story"He questioned and I nodded.
"Well when I was 12, my dad went to jail in connection with selling drugs and he died. My brother was killed when I was 13"He said and a tear dropped down his face.
"Man, that was my older brother and he inspired me so much but god called him come home to soon you know. Then me and my mom were homeless. I started selling drugs while moving around homeless shelters with my mother and sister. Then I started selling crack at 15. Then I met the mob when I turned 16 and we started this whole business and we at the top of the drug chain with your baby father which is why he's trying to take us out. So yea, that's my story"He said.
"I'm sorry for your losses Reem but I'm glad you got though it"I smiled grabbing his hand making him smile back.
"Would you like to order?"The same man from the front asked.
"Uh.....yea"I said.
"How about we start with drinks?"
"Can I get a Harlem love cocktail?"Rakim said.
"How about you ma'am?"He said looking at me.
"Just a strawberry lemonade please"
"Are you ready to order your food?"
"I would like the Afro-Asian American Gumbo"Reem said.
"And I would like the Grilled Allen Brothers Steak"I said and the waiter nodded.
"You can walk away now"Reem said making the man walk away quickly.
"Stop Reem. He's already scared of you"I giggled.
"I don't care. He keep staring at you like some piece of meat. You my girl"
"Oh, I'm ya girl"I said cocking my head to the side.
"Of course,I don't gotta ask for your permission. I love you girl"He said making me smile.
"This place is really beautiful"I said looking around.
"Not as beautiful as you though"
"Cute but corny"I giggled.
"Only for you baby"
"What's your passion other then drug dealing?"
"I wanna rap you know"He said.
"Then why don't you. At least you'll be making clean money"
"It's not that easy getting out the game"He said making me nod.
"How old are you?"
"I'm 28"
"Your way too old for me"I said shocked.
"I'm only to old for you when I turn 30"He smirked.
"Well you got 2 more years old man"I said making his smirk drop.
"Whatever. What do you want to do?"
"I also wanted to be a probation officer but I'm kinda rethinking it. I might become an assassin"I said making him laugh.
"You real cool to be with when your not being annoying"He said making me scoff.
"I am not annoying"
"Yes you are. Reem! Reem!"He said mocking my voice.
"I do not sound like that"I pouted.
"Yes you do"He said tapping my bottom lip.
"Whatever"I rolled my eyes.
"You mad or nah"He said and ignored him.
"You getting mad while I'm getting rich"He said throwing a stack of cash over my head.
