Out of the Shadows

Chapter 16

“You on some bullshit right now, you know I don’t want you. You just fucking with her cause she got what you want.” Royal hollered.
“And what I want Royal?” Tammie said trying to flirt.
“Some fucking attention from me. I’m gonna say it again, I don’t want you. Never have, never will. Now get the fuck out, you and the fucking peanut gallery.” He said. Me and Nikki started walking towards him, I wanted to have some fun but not this kind of fun. Just as we reached him he turned to walk away. Some dude came out of nowhere and started talking shit, and of course his flunky stepped up with him.
“Man, you going mad hard for this bitch Royal. These our day ones, these bitches been with us from the sand box son. Why you getting in the way of a squash.” He asked. The other dude just stood there posted up agreeing with his homeboy.
“Man, this shit don’t got nothing to do with yo thirsty ass Rick. If you want her take her. I forgot she don’t want you, take yo captain save a hoe ass on somewhere.” Royal said. I see this is about to get messy. I unzipped my clutch, baby is always ready.
“Man fuck you kid, you always fronting on a mafucka. You ain’t about shit, these bitches just blinded by all this shit you got.” He said walking up on Royal. Before anybody could do anything Royal knocked his ass out. His homeboy went to make a move on Royal, he couldn’t see him because he was still looking down at Rick. I pulled baby out and hit dude in the face with the butt of my gun.
“Naw playboy, we ain’t finna do all that.” I said pointing my gun at his face. Royal turned around and looked at me surprised. I looked over at Nikki to see her smiling. Jabari and Red looked shocked. Boom dumb ass started cracking up.
“Shit got real huh? You were gonna try that lame sneak shit huh nigga?” Boom said walking over to me.
“Put yo piece up ma, you made yo point. Do you still wanna squash Tammie?” He asked her. She stood there for a minute looking at me. I gave her the evilest smile I could, because now I wanted her to. Although it would be hell going back to Rocs looking like I had been fighting, it would be so worth it. I gave Nikki baby and turned to Tammie.
“What’s up ma, you still want beef with me?” I asked her smiling. She shook her head and backed up. I felt Royal walk up to me and put his hands around my waist.
“Come on ma, these basic mafuckas ain’t on nothing.” He said. And we began to walk away.
“Aye, take Rick and ole boy to the basement. I’ll handle they asses later.” Jabari said looking at Red. All Red did was nod, he turned to some other niggas and they took them outside.
“You cool lil gangsta?” Boom asked laughing.
“I’m always cool bruh. Don’t let this pretty face fool you. I could’ve left all three of them leaking before dude even walked towards Royal if I wanted too.” I say shaking my head. This fool got hyped, started smiling all hard and shit.
“Can we keep her? I vote to keep her.” He said. Then they all started cracking up, I just smiled and shook my head. He a damn fool, I promise.
