A Hustler's Pride

Part 9

Giselle was upstairs talkin to Hova when her dad came up to her room. "Hey baby. What are ya'll doin?"

"He's tryna help me with this homework but I don't think he knows what he's doin," she said laughin.

"Oh...well Hov let me holla at u for a second." Hova got up and followed Matthew into the hall while Giselle looked on with a concerned look on her face. When they got into the hallway Matthew slapped his arm around Hova's shoulders and spoke to him in almost a whisper. "Hey man, I got some girls comin thru tonight and I wanted to know if u were down?" Hova laughed.

"I told u boss that I already have a girl."

"Yeah but u ain't never told me her name and none of that. How do I know that she even exists?" Hova smiled thinkin to himself. If u only knew. "Look the girls is just comin thru to show us all a good time for the hard work we been puttin in. And since I took that car back I was gone give to G i got money to spend. U know what I'm sayin," he said laughin bositerously and calmin down. "So I know u in man so meet me at Harmony Hotel at eight tonight man. Be there," he said walkin away without givin Hova a chance to deny his offer. Hova walked into Giselle's room and she smiled when she saw that everythin was okay. He figured he wouldn't say anythin to her because he knew that he wasn't goin out to go see no girls when he had the best of the best sittin beside him.

Later on around seven fourty five, Matthew called Hova's phone while he was at his place already on the other line with Giselle. "Hey baby, hold on ur Dad is on the other line. Hello?"

"Hov, where u at baby. It's party time!"

"Bossman i ain't tryna come out there and see no girls. My girl would be mad at me for doin that."

"How bout I tell ur girl that we're goin to a church meetin or somethin good like that?" Hova laughed at his persistence.

"U know she wouldn't believe anythin like that."

"Well look u need to tell her somethin because I'm comin to get u in about....one..second," he hung up and a horn was blowin out of Hova's apartment. He looked out the window and saw Matthew wavin from his car. Are u serious, he said to himself. He clicked back over and told Giselle that him and her father was goin to handle some business. After he told her that he loved her and she replied the same he grabbed his gun and laced up his new sneakers to head downstairs.

When they got to the hotel, Matthew was smilin from ear to ear. "We finna PARTAY!!!!!!!" They got out and walked into a lobby where there were strippers and regular girls that looked to innocent to be there. The whole security team was there along with some of the hustlers and gangbangers Matthew knew and hired for his street team. Matthew grabbed a drink for himself and Hova. They both began to watch the scenery until a waitress came up to them and Matthew whispered somethin to her and then he left to go to the bar. While Hova sat and watched everyone get drunk and fondle the girls, a girl walked up to him and sat beside him. He noticed from the corner of his eye that she was starin at him. "Is that how u greet someone," she asked over to loud music.

"Excuse me," he said lookin kind of disgusted at her.

"U can't hear me," she said slidin closer. "I said is that how u greet someone?"

"Why would I wanna greet u?"

"U sent me this drink. Obviously u wanna talk to me."

"What?" He said combinin his brows. "I didn't send u a drink."

"Yes u did. U don't have to be shy. I won't bite. Besides I do think that it's kinds cute the way u actin shy," she said laughin. Hova looked at her and knew what was goin on. MAtthew had done this to him. He probably knew about him and Giselle.

"Look lady just wait here for a moment," he said gettin up and gettin ready to walk out the door but Matthew stopped him.

"Where u goin?" He said holdin onto him a little tight wit beer on his breath.

"I'm bout to go man. This ain't my scene. I'm bout to head home."

"Don't act like that man. Go f8ck somebody. Go have fun with these hoes man."

"Nah, I'm good on that." Hova walked out as Matthew stared at him with anger. He would get him somehow someway.

The day after while Giselle and Kelis were on the balcony talkin Giselle heard her Dad and the crew come in. She turned to see if Hova was wit them and when she did she smiled at him and waved. She didn't realize that Matthew had saw this. Matthew walked out to the girls and greeted them both. "Hey baby. What up Kelis? Hey ya'll come inside I want ya'll to hear this. Especially u G." They walked behind him while Giselle looked at her friend and wondered what could possibly be so important for them to see. Once they got inside and sat on the couch Matthew began to talk. "Everybody has been doin so good lately that I wanna personally thank each and every one of ya'll. Things are so smooth and everything is workin like magic around here. I wanna throw this huge celebration party." Everybody in the room started smilin and talkin amongst one another about how good this would be. "Hold up. Hold up, ya'll. And i want ya'll to invite ya'll family, friends, whoever u want to invite. I'm gettin this place called Chateau LaRouge and I'm rentin out the whole entire spot for us. We gone have food, fun and more fun. And also, Hov," he said lookin at him. "Come here man. Everybody get a look at this dude. Cause he's the main one that's been helpin out around here: takin care of my daughter and me and the things I ask so I got a surprise for u baby,'' he said smilin and walkin to the door. "U know that girl u was talkin to last night and u was tellin me how u wanted to get wit her?" Hova shook his head no while Giselle's smile turned upside down. "Yes u do man. Quit actin shy. U sent her a drink last night man at the hotel party. The hoe-tel, get it?"

"Nah, man. I don't know what ur talkin about," Hova said tryin to laugh it off.

"Aww okay. Well let me help u out," he said openin the door so that the girl he saw from last night could come in. She walked right over to Hova and gave him a kiss on the cheek while Giselle boiled red inside. She wanted to get up and kill everybody in the room but she knew she had to keep her cool. Matthew looked at his daughter.

"What's up G? U lookin crazy over there," he said laughin.

"No. I'm straight," she said tryna hold back tears.
