Down To Ride

Part 7

Maya's POV

Me & Rob had been talking, we weren't going out or anything, I don't think I was ready for that.. but we had been chilling together.

I was starting to really like him, like he always knew what to say & do when I was around, I didn't even feel the need to talk to anybody else .. I was whipped lol

I hadn't seen Darryl or his sister .. & I was glad I didn't need any temptation at all, even though we weren't dating we both made it clear that we wasn't fucking with nobody else but each other.

Right now I was dying of boredem in 5th period, I started to dose off then I heard somebody call my name

"Maya" "Mayaaaaaa"

"Huh" I sat up and wiped my eyes

"Get up & come with me"

When I looked up to my surprise it was Darryl, I was wondering what he wanted & where he had been .. missing 2 weeks of school wasn't normal at all. I didn't ask any questions i just left, we had a sub and I was dead bored.

"Where we going ?" I asked with a slight attitude, he just looked back at me & kept walking

"I'm not moving until you tell me"

"Girl, we going to a old class now c'mon before we get caught"

We got to the class room & I sat down, I thought Darryl was cute but from what I saw he was weird & kinda rude .. Two things that did not mix.

"Why haven't you been in school?" I asked breaking the silence

I looked over to see Darryl rolling up, idk why but I love to see boys roll up, & when they licked the blunt ... I could die.

I guess he caught me staring at his lips, cause he looked at me & did the sexiest laugh.

"Like what you see?" he asked

I act like I didn't hear him "answer my question, where you been ?"

"Minding my business" he said nonchalantly

I nodded my head, "So you not gone tell me ?"

"I would, but I would hate for you to look at me differently" as he said that he took a puff of the blunt

"I won't, I just wanna know wussup" I really was curious to where he had been.

"Well story short, my boss died & I'm head honcho" he said then laughed.

I wasn't understanding "huh?"

He sat by me and passed me the blunt "listen, I sell drugs & I can't focus on school right now"

I looked at him in disbelief .. I didn't see him as the type to sell drugs, I didn't say anything after that, I didn't know if I should have been scared or tried to talk him out that life so I just stayed quite.

"See I knew this would happen" she said taking another drag, with a bit if frustration in his voice "you think I'm crazy or some don't you ? you think ima hurt you ? or I'm no good ? or I'm dumb for picking drugs over school?"

"Na none if that I said" laughing a little taking the blunt "chill you bout to blow my lil high, I don't see you different & I'm not going to judge what your doing because I don't know you"

As I said that he stood real close to me & put his forehead on mine. "thanks" he said..

He told me how his boss and his sister Katelyn had something going on & how they both got murdered & that's how he became boss & he shared how he started with the dope business.

"Why me ?" I asked in confusion, "why tell me this stuff we rarely know each" other I reminded him.

"Because I have no one else to talk to.. & you seem loyal"

I could tell he was hurt, I got up and gave him a hug. he was sitting down & was standing up & he laid his head on my chest.

*ring* *ring*

My phone went off it was Rob, I knew he was wondering where I was at

"Hey I have to go, but get my number & maybe you could come over sometime?"

He smiled & put his number in my phone.

Rob's POV

I hadn't seen Maya the last two periods, I thought I had talked her out of all that skipping shit but I guess not.

Right now I'm waiting outside by my car, I was gone take her to get some frozen yogurt before I went to work, at Starbucks, most the time she'd stay till my shift was over & i'd go to her house for a few hours then home, but tonight I was closing so if didn't want her staying out to late.

"Hey babe!" she said

"Where you been ?" It might have cane off like I had a attitude but I didn't I was just asking

"A little grumpy aren't we ? I think I'll call you grumpy bear" she said then kissed my nose

"Yea allat shit, get in the damn car took!" Took was her nickname, can't remember how I made it up .. But it fit

"Listen bae I'm closing tonight so we gone chill for a few hours & ima take you home cool?"

"Can I stay until you close ? please" she begged.

"Na, not tonight, & after that I gotta pick my moms up."

"K" she said I could tell she wasn't really mad she was just being a brat.

Maya's POV

after Rob went to work I was dead bored, I started my homework, & then a number I didn't recognize text me.

"Wussup

MoneyMotivated"

"Who is this?"

"Who you think

MoneyMotivated"

"I don't know, I rarely talk to people with signatures"

"Darryl, chill on me.

MoneyMotivated"

"Oh hey lol"

"Let me come see you

MoneyMotivated"

After that I didn't text back, he was cool and all but I didn't want him to get the wrong impression.

I had fell asleep & woke up 2 or 3 hours later, as soon as I could really sit up I was getting a call

"Hello ? who calling me?"

"Damn girl save my number & why you sound like you just got yo ass beat ?" he said laughing a little

"Darryl I'm not bout to play with you what you want ?"

"Nothing, I been sitting outside your house, cause you never said I couldn't come but I didn't wanna knock on the door & scare you"

"Wh-" he cut me off

"Tell me you don't want me to stay & I'll leave"

That's when everything started taking a turn for the worse.
