Reese Money (A Lil Reese Story)

F**kBoys

Lelani's POV

I pressed my lips into a thin line while trudging behind Nancy as we walked up the stairs silently, my head still lost for thought for everything that had taken place so far. I still couldnt wrap my head around the entire thing. I was thankful and appreciated the fact that Nancy had taken me in. She didn't seem bothered or annoyed and i wanted to keep it that way. I didn't wanna become a burden to her or Ayanna. 

"Here we are," She said while reaching the room next to Durk's. I'd never been in it but i knew Ayanna had told me she was never really allowed to go in there her damn self cause her mama was a bit of a hoarder and she didn't want anyone touching and snooping through her collectibles. It got me thinking suddenly... just what did Nancy collect? I eyed her carefully as she gave me a nervous smile. 

"The kids think i'm a lunatic for this, but.. I've had this obsession with gnomes ever since i was little." She said and i raised my eyebrows. "What the hell is a gnome?" I said while scratching my arm and she silently turned back around to open the door. I peeked over her shoulder and almost ran the other fucking way. Inside the room was a whole bunch of little midget clay shits, them things white folks always had in their gardens. Every color, every size, every damn shape. My mouth fell open as we both walked inside slowly. I saw the small bed in the corner of the room and also noticed the small box TV that was next to it, sitting on some pile of books. 

"Oh fuck no," I mumbled to myself and took a step backwards and away from the room. I continued to take little steps backwards, watching Nancy as she rambled and talked on about how much she loved her gnome collections and how she been doing that shit way before Ayanna was born. At that i dashed out of the room and turned the corner only to smack hard into someones chest. Both of us made a sound and fell to the ground, me lying ontop of them. I heard a clunk sound and looked up to see Tavares head flat on the hardwood floor. 

"Shit, was that yo head? My bad!" I yelled while scrambling onto my feet. He grumbled while sucking his teeth miserably and sitting his lanky ass up from the hardwood. 

"Watch where the fuck you going bitch, next time you do reckless shit like that ima have to backhand yo ass." He said while mugging me. My mood instantly changed and as he was trying to stand up i placed my hands on his shoulders and shoved him back down. I mugged him back with the same amount of hatred and he grabbed onto my leg yanking it and making me loose my balance. I fell back down again and my knees bucked against the floor hardly. 

"Ouch Tavares, what the fuck?!" I yelled and punched his shoulder. He didn't flinch but he did grab onto both of my wrists so i couldn't do any more damage. 

"Yo, chill the fuck out Leela!" He yelled back and i scoffed. 

"My name is Lelani, get it right  dumbass!" I said in his face and he looked up at me with a smirk. I rolled my eyes and shoved myself out of his grasp. We both finally made it onto our feet in one piece and i sighed, brushing the knee off of my juicy pants with my hands. 

"The fuck wrong wit you?" He asked and i almost forgot he was even standing there. I shook my head. His phone started to ring and i rolled my eyes. He stared at me for a moment before shaking his own head as if debating something and reaching his hands into his pocket to grab his phone. 

"Who dis." He answered and i rolled my eyes at that. He peeped my reaction and shot a wink my way before walking past me and down the staircase. I could still hear the rest of the guys in Durk's room so i wondered where Tavares was headed off too? Just as i was finna follow him i heard footsteps from behind me and i turned around to see Nancy, giving me a disapproving look. I smiled at her sheepishly and she shook her head but returned a smile too.
