A MEMPHIS CRY

Chapter 10

    *Gotta avoid her by all means*

            King

Lexis had been blowing up my phone all night and morning until I finally blocked her ass. I got up got a shower and got dressed so I could meet up with my baby Tiera later then I heard a knock on my door. I went downstairs and opened the door to Lexis standing at my doorstep with a crooked smile on her face. I shook my head and lowered my eyes as I stared her up and down, Damn this girl don't get the picture yet. I took a deep breath and she stepped in the house just like I invited her in which pissed me off. I grabbed her arm and pulled her back before looking her dead in her face.

"What you want Lex"? I asked annoyed.
She smiled as she pulled away from me "How was ya night"?
"None ya business. What you want"?
"Stop being so mean gosh... Did you fuck her"?
"No" I shook my head... "She ain't you".
She frowned her face up and jerked her head back "What's that pose to mean"?
"She ain't easy like you Lexis now what do you want"?
She pouted "I want you". I thought she was gonna get the hint by take my insults as me hurting her feelings, but instead it seemed like she took them as a compliment.
"Well you can't have me. Come on Lex cut the bullshit you already know what time we was on stop playing with me" I said kind of rudely.
"So what? You with her now"? She barked while crossing her arms over her chest.
I inhaled "Yeah Lexis I'm with Tiera now" I said bout to walk away. She grabbed me back and I looked at her crazy.
"No... You can't do that to me your pose to be with me not her. What can she do for you that I can't"? Lexis said sounding dumb ass hell.
I waved her off and started to walk away until but she pulled me back "Don't walk away from me" she yelled.
She had pissed me off just that quick next thing I knew I pushed her back against the wall with my hand close to her face "Lexis I don't hit bitches but I will fuck ya ass up yo stop playing with me" I yelled in her face scaring her half to death. When she started smiling at me that's when I knew I was dealing with a crazy ass bitch.
"Please baby-".
"Nah baby nothing I was never ya baby and you know it stop playing you gotta a nigga and I been knew that so now I got a girl... you know that we are done. I'm not fucking you no more you can't suck my dick or nothing don't call me no more or show up at my crib you got it" I barked in her face.
She nodded her head and swallowed hard.
"Get the fuck out" I yelled pushing her out the door.
She turned around and mugged me "This ain't over King you won't just do me like this" she warned.
"Yeah well lexis play with me if you want to I promise it won't be pretty and I definitely don't take to kind to threats" I warned before slamming the door on her face. Lexis knew not to play with a nigga like me, I was true to my word and to these streets she didn't wanna fuck with me.

That bitch was crazy she done lost her last mind she must think I couldn't get her touched, but I didn't wanna do that to her unless I had to. I just suggest she stay out my way if she didn't want those problems. I finished getting ready and left out to meet up with Dope at the trap.

     Later on: Afternoon

              King

(At Shontiera's complex at the playground)

Me and Dope was sitting on the bench table smoking a blunt while Tiera sat between my legs on the bench, talking to Ashley. Me and my boy sat back and listened to the two of them gossiped back and forth about how cute certain Rappers were in the industry. I wasn't no jealous nigga, but i had to laugh at some of the shit they were saying.

"Y'all real funny keep up with the jokes" I said.
Tiera faced me and peaked my lips "Awe baby don't be mad it's just jokes".
I mocked her making her laugh harder.
"You not funny Tiera. Get beat up in front of Dope and Ash" I joked.
"He's so mean" Ashley said smiling as she waved me off.
"I ain't mean she know I ain't mean, but she also know what it is" I said still smiling.
Tiera laughed "Now he got jokes. Dope get ya boy".
Dope threw his hands up in surrender "Dope can't have ya back on this one cause Ash bout to get cursed out right behind you " he said laughing.
"You a punk I swear" Tiera said laughing pointing at Dope.
"Yeah he is" Ashley agreed.

In the middle of our conversation a older dude looking to be about a good 40 or so walked over to us. I could tell Tiera must knew him cause her whole mode changed quick and her smile faded, it was like I sensed fear.

"Well... We'll look at ya hot ass thot" the dude said rudely as his cold eyes stared at Tiera.
She sat speechless as she wiggled around uncomfortably in her seat.
"Who this Tiera"? I questioned as me and Dope stood up to our feet. We all knew that Tiera's parents had passed away so we knew it wasn't her dad, but I wasn't too thrilled with the way he was speaking to her.
"My..umm.. my aunt's husband" she stuttered.
His eyes was stuck on Tiera's body like glue, he was feeling her out and I didn't feel that. He continued to stare at her until I tilted my head at him and shot him a mean mug.
"Ya hot ass should be in the house cooking us dinner not out here between some niggas legs" her uncle rudely said.
She looked down at her hands and remained silent. We were out here vibing for about two hours now and just that quick I could sense that her joy was stolen away.
"Some Nigga"? I asked raising my eye brows.
Her uncle stood his ground in front of us, but I didn't give a fuck and neither did Dope who was now smoking a cigarette.
"Like I said-" the uncle said but dope cut him off.
"What really are you saying?? Cause we ain't hearing shit" Dope said blowing the smoke from the cigarette in old dude's face.
The uncle took a few steps back and his eyes landed on Tiera. "Get in the house now" he said walking away. Dope toss the butt of the cigarette towards him.
Tiera looked at me with a sad face "I gotta go y'all". She turned to walk away.
I pulled her back towards me and kissed her lips "Hey if you ever need to get away you know my house is ya house" I said with a serious face.
She gave me a look as if she didn't believe me.
"Word to my mother babe". She nodded her head and let go of my hand.
"I don't like him. It's something weird with his ass, shouldn't nobody have their eyes on you the way he did except me" I said.
"Right" dope said agreeing.
She pecked at my lips once more and walked away with me watching her like a hawk. She glanced back at me with that same sad face and whispered " I love you".
"Love you to" I said loud enough for her to hear me.
Me, Ashley and dope stood there for a few seconds trying to recap what had just happened that fast.
"I know he better not touch her" Dope said as the three of us walked away.
I looked dead at dope with a serious face "If he do Imma kill him and that's on my mama I promise".

Dope nodded his head already knowing I wasn't bout no games. My word was my bond thats what I stood by. She disappeared in the house before we walked away, I definitely was gonna hit her up later to check up on her.

      Later on that night:

11:54 p.m.

Soon as I got in the house I texted Tiera.

   Me: you good babe?

        Two minutes later

Babe Tiera: Yes, I miss you.

Me: I miss you, you Ard?

Babe Tiera:Yeah I'm ok just laying down

Me: Yeah me to hit me if you need me.. Gn babe

Babe Tiera: ok... Gn

   I fall back on my bed and flipped through the channels on my flat screen. Soon after that I was knocked out cold. I was tired as shit and had a long day ahead of me tomorrow.
