Chapter Seven.

Ja'riya

"Can I sit with you or what" Mira said. She was dressed in a all black leather dress with a pair of heels. She looked so good. "Fasho" I said sliding over. She flopped that ass right on my lap. I looked over at Monte and he gave me a wink and a head nod. I knew tonight was the night. Mira was going home with me. "You look to good" I yelled over the music. "You don't look to bad yourself" she said grinding slow to the beat. "Riya I'll be back" she said getting up leaving the section. I watched her walk to the back by the bathroom. I leaned back in my seat and sipped from my own personal bottle. I felt my phone vibrate. Something came up, meet up tomorrow ? The text from Mira said. No doubt just let me know ! I replied sliding my phone back in my pocket. I looked over at Monte and he had that "I told you so" look on his face. I shrugged my shoulders and tried to enjoy the rest of my night, but honestly the only reason I came was because of Mira. I got up and gave Monte dap. "You gone?" He yelled over the music. "Yea man I'll catch you later" I took a few more sips of my bottle and handed it to a random girl in the section. I grabbed my jacket and left the club. I put my hood on and walked towards my pops whip. "How you gone try to leave me and your my ride" Monte said laughing. "My bad I wasn't even thinking" I said honestly. "To worried about that bitch" Monte said getting in the car. I rolled my eyes. "Why she got to be a bitch" I asked. "Why she got to be a bitch" He mocked. "why you acting all sad and shit, she left so what ? you act like Mira the only pussy in town" Monte continued. "Yea alright Monte" I said. "You calling it a night or we going to my shit" he asked. "I'm a call it a night" I said. "Monte I think it's time to ask our pops about that shit we talked about" I added. "About time Riya I'm ready to get really paid" he said pulling out his phone. "Not through a text dumb ass in person" I said. "Nigga I know I was just texting this one move back" he said smiling. "No fuck ups" I said. "I should be the one telling you that" he said making me think about the last incident we had. "That was a accident shit wasn't supposed to go down like that" I said pulling up to his crib. "I'll text you and let you know wassup" he said giving me dap. I connected my fist with his. "Bet" I said pulling off.

After dropping Monte off at his spot I went home. "Wassup pops" I said tossing him his keys. "Where your cousin" my pops said. Damn I totally forgot about her. "She said she had a ride" I said lien."Call and make sure" pops said. "I don't want her getting into trouble you know how your uncle Chris can get" he added. I nodded and pulled out my phone. I called but it went to voicemail so I sent a text. Where are you? Than I slid my phone back in my pocket. "Where moma" I said. He shrugged his shoulders. "She in one of her moods again so she probably out with a friend or something" he said. "Dad I know you not with that life anymore, but I need a connect and I'm not trying to hear anything less" I blurted out. "You really think you can handle the life I used to live" he said raising his eyebrow. I nodded my head. "Yes I do" I said with confidence. "That lil shit you and your homeboy getting off ain't shit to what I used to move and this comes with a lot of responsibilities" he said. "One fuck up and I can loose my daughter" he added. "If I wasn't ready to step up pops I wouldn't have asked for your help and that's rare so that means I really want this" I said. "I always keep it a stack with you pops when I wasn't feeling school I told you what was up and when you find out I was on them blocks I told you want was up as well, You told me if I don't want to follow the rules I have to get my own and this little change I'm making ain't shit especially if it's getting cut 2 ways" I added. "Patience Riya" he simple said. "Yes or no pops" I said getting down to the point. "Yes" he said. "First I got to make some phone calls and I'll start you off small than if you can get it off than I'll get you more" he added. "Thank you pops" I said. "No distractions Riya one hundred percent focused" he said pulling out his phone. "I won't let you down pops, I got this" I said. He got on the phone and fanned for me to go on.

I walked up stairs and laid down on my bed. I felt the vibration from my phone. Cuzzo I'm with a friend I'll call you when I need to be picked up ! The text said. I already knew she was with a nigga that she just met. Every time my cousin come over she gets bucked wild. I see why my uncle Chris so strict. She be doin dumb shit and I thought I be on the dummy missions. She not even from around here but she gets around, around here. No get yo ass here now im not your baby sitter! I sent back. I debated on if I should hit up Mira or not. She do be playing games and im about to be doing some big shit and I dont need the games. Maybe Monte right, I should just get over Mira and stack this bread.
