For The Love Of Money

CHAPTER 3

When I got to Mercedes house I rung the doorbell and her mom Valerie answered. I cant stand this bitch. Everytime im around she acts all stuck up and rude. To be honest I kind of think she caught me and Toni fuckin but im not sure.

"Is Mercedes here?" I said trying to be nice

"Unfortunately yea. She at the pool with Krystal." She said dryly.

Krystal is my best friend and the only person that knows about my secret lifestyle. She hates it though. She seems to think I can get a job and pay for my shit by myself. Krystal is brown skin with a flawless face and she's thick in all the right places. Her hair is short but she always rockin some cute weave. She has a smart mouth like me and I think she jealous of me sometimes. But I just shake that feeling off cuz shes been my best friend since 3rd grade and that would be silly. Mercedes is the quite peace keeper of us three. Anyways I walked through the mansion and made my way to the back door. I walked outside and seen my bitches layin on some beach chairs lookin hella cute.

"Hey boo! I was gonna call yo ass and tell you to come thru but I thought you might be riding some nigga's dick." Krystal said and we all laughed.

I sat down next to them and started moving my hips to the song that was playing on radio. "Ugh yall im so irritated. My dad been trippin lately. I can tell he been drinkin again too. I don't know how much I can take with all this college talk. He needs to just shut up and let me live damn."

Mercedes spoke up, "Well girl you know you really should think about college. I mean you cant always depend on your parentts you know. Im startin soon but im goin over seas."

Me and Krystal looked at each other and then back at Mercedes.

"Hold up trick you goin over seas to go to college? You leavin us?" Krystal said.

"Yea im going to study in Italy. My mom wants me to get the best education possible and my dad found the perfect university in Italy. So im goin this fall. But don't trip yall know im comin back to see my bitches as much as possible. "

It figures his wanna be ass would choose  university in Italy. Fuck im gonna miss my girl. But oh well I guess ill just have more time to make my money. 

"Aye im hungry lets go get something to eat" Krystal suggested and im glad she did cuz im starving.

"Good im hungry as hell. And afterwards we can go shoppin my treat cuz yall bitches need some new gear." I said. They both said "Whatever!" and we all busted out laughin. They both got up and went inside to change. While I waited I decided to text Toni and sexy lil text. Ima need to re-up on money after this shopping trip. Krystal and Mercedes came downstairs 10 mins later and we all hopped in my car. I noticed my tank was close to E so I stopped at the nearest gas station to fill up.

When I pulled up to the gas station Mercedes offered to pump the gas so I went hurried up to go pay. Soon as I stepped in I noticed this fine ass caramel colored nigga with dreads. And from the looks of his clothes and that rolex I can tell he was ballin. He was drippin in ice!  Damn I immediately got wet. I had to get this niggas attention. I walked over to the same isle he was in and I bent down to act like I wanted to get some snacks from the bottom roll. I had shorts on and my red thong so I made sure I bent over enough for him to see them. When I stood up there was some bitch on his arm. He didn't even look my way! What the hell that never happened to me before. And what the fuck was he doin with her anyway? I mean she straight but she aint all that and plus she looks like 40 and he has to be around 26 or 27.

Anyways this nigga was too fine to just let go. I HAD to see him again. But what chance do I have running into his sexy ass again? All I know is his face would never leave my head. I paid for my gas and snacks then went to the car and waited for Mercedes to finish pumping. When all agreed on going to applebees for lunch.

We pulled up ordered our food and started smashin. Krystal started talkin about her cheatin boyfriend. God I was sick of hearing this shit, She always takes his ass back anyways. After she finally shut up Mercedes started talking about how excited she was to go off to college. That conversion made me sad. I was really going to miss her. I shook that thought and started talkin to them about the guy I saw in the gas station. I don't know why but for some reason I just couldn't get him off my mind. Krystal rolled her eyes but Mercedes seemed interested.

After we ate we got in the car and went to the mall. I bought Krystal this cute short red dress and some heels to go with it. I was hoping she would show it off to her boyfriend and he would forget all about the hoes he was fuckin with so my friend can just be happy and stop hatin on me everytime I mention a man. We went to another store and Mercedes picked out a yellow crop top that had some kind of cheetah print on it. Then she found some cute high waisted jeans with the same kind of cheetah print on the pockets. I thought to my self that would go great with my yellow and black snap back that had the words dope in cheetah print. Ima have to borrow this outfit one day.

We went to the mac store and got some makeup then we came across this Jamaican lookin smoke shop. I walked in and my girls followed. We looked around for a lil bit and some Jamaican guy came out from the back staring so hard his eyes was about to pop out of his head. He said something in a different language and we all turned to look at him.

"What the fuck you say?" Krystal's rude ass said.

"In my country we done see fine bitches like you." The Jamaican said in a strong accent.

Oh no he didn't just call us bitches

"Who the fuck do you think you are?', "I will cut you" we all started yelling and cussin him out.

Them some other guy walked out from the back trying to calm us down. 'Whats the problem ladies?" he said as he walked closer. I had to do a double take cuz I swear he looked familiar. Then as he reached the counter to where the Jamaican was standing it was clear that this was the guy from the gas station. I was so embaressed for the way he heard me talkin. I got quite but Krystal just yelling.

"YOU NEED TO TELL YA PARTNER THAT IN THIS COUNTRY WE DONT TALK TO A WOMAN ANY KIND OF WAY." She yelled.

Im sorry ladies he's new here and the only words he knows is what my brothers teach him. I'll make sure to talk to them fools later. Can I help you with something?

"You own this store?" Mercedes asked

"Yea, well part of it me and my brothers own it. Its small but it brings home money. Anyway im Rashaad and this is my partner David. Why don't don't yall pick anything you want from the store as an apology". Rashaad said smiling at me. Damn this dude is sexy

"Oh no thank you we were just lookin. We're gonnna go. Nice meetin you." I said. He smiled and we left. I had to get out there. I dropped them off at each of their houses and went home to take a nap. Today was too much and I was getting sleepy. I went upstairs, took my shoes off, and texted Toni back confirming our lil appointed tomorrow while his while wife was gone and Mercedes was out. I set my phone down on the night stand and drifted off to sleep thinking about Rashaad.
