A MEMPHIS CRY

Chapter 19

(Love that passed you by)

Months later~

King

I was down at club Dynasty with Dope, a few weeks ago we had talked to Jax about owning his club. He was getting older and wanted to move to California with his wife, but he didn't wanna sell the club to someone he knew wouldn't take care of it. He had owed this club since I was 4 years old and he was good friends with my pops so he offered to pass it down to me, I make Dope part owner. We walked around the whole club from top to bottom and voted on the Changes I wanted to make.

"Everything is pretty much set so like I said if y'all really want it it's y'all's" Jax said.

I looked over at Dope and he gave me a head nod which lead me to tell Jax yeah. We paid him in full 20,000 and he signed the papers over to us. I chuckled at Dope now it was time to be Kingpins slash business men. Don't get me wrong the loved the drug money, that's where I started at. But now I wanted more, I wanted us to be more settled and not have to look over our backs forever.

"Niggas Ready be loaded with da paper" Dope said chuckling.
I rubbed my hand down my face stepped back and looked over the club with a smile on my face. We had two Vip areas, a stage that held stripper poles a fancy bar area that held any and every liquor made and a big ass dance floor.
"Now that we ready be business men does this mean we gotta walk around with fucking suits and ties cause if so King we need to talk" Dope joked.
Frowning my eye brows with a half of smile I gave him that nigga get the fuck outta here look.

"Man fuck nah I'ma G... Fuck I look like" I said.
Dope grabbed a hold of his chest and sighed "Thank God cause I wasn't with the shits" he said relieved. I laughed, we took one last look at the place and headed for towards the door.
"Fuck you bout to get into"? Dope asked.
"I gotta go share the news with my baby" I said just thinking of how happy Tiera would be.
Dope nodded with a smile "Yeah I'm ready do the same... I'ma hit the trap later to check shit out make sure shit good hit me Later so we can link up".
I nodded my head dapped him up and we both we our separate ways. I texted Tiera and she said she was at the salon so I made my way over there.

Lexis

The stylist had just finished laying my hair my shit was long, permed and silky straight. I paid her and made my way over to Tiera where her stylist was finishing her up, her long hair was now bone straight with blonde tips.
I plopped down in a empty chair next to her and watched her text away on her phone, I became jealous just that fast because I knew who she was texting. She looked up at me and I flashed her a fake smile, I didn't want her to know I secretly envied her relationship with King.

"Ya hair is cute as shit" I said being fake even though it was cute.
"Thanks I like yours too... Thank God you ain't get no dye like I told you I don't want shit happening to my God baby" Tiera said while reading a text on her phone before smiling.
"Yeah you right... But I wish I would've got the ..." I said but Tiera frowned her face up and cut me off.

"Look don't start that shit right now Lexis I don't wanna hear you talk dumb today" she fussed.
"I'm just saying. But I'm happy to... Well I guess I am I don't know how to feel honestly".
"Just feel grateful" Tiera told me. She sighed and put her phone down before looking up at me with a smile on her face "Look I gotta tell you something but you can't tell nobody because I didn't even tell king yet".
I swallowed hard... I was hoping she wasn't bout to tell me what I think she was bout to tell me. I sat impatiently waiting for her to tell me.

" I found out two days ago that I'm pregnant. I took three test and they all said positive" Tiera told me. My heart sink, I was speechless. I sat there unsure of words for at least a minute or so.
"Well congrats I'm happy for you... And at least ya nigga is gonna be happy about ya pregnancy" I said alittle salty flashing another fake smile. To be honest I wanted to kick and scream and have a whole kiddie temper tantum, but that would have to wait til was in private.

Tiera smiled "I hope so". Tiera's smile faded as we locked eyes. It was like she was paying attention to my body language or something.
"Lexis are you sure you okay?? Lately you've been real Moody and bugging. I really want you to chill out like I got you we in this together I keep telling you that" Tiera said in a low voice so that none of these nosey bitches over heard our convo.

I suck my teeth and waved her away, but she continued to be in her Happy joyful mode. Just then King walked through the door Looking sexy as shit. All eyes was on him as he walked towards us, I wish he was walking toward me but sadly he wasn't. Instead he walked pass me and kissed Tiera's lips before hugging her.

"Hey King" I said being smart.
"Yeah... Wassup" he said kind of rude but I didn't give a fuck.
"What brings you here"? I asked leaning back in the chair and he mugged me.
"None ya"... He said focusing his attention back on Tiera "You ready baby"?

I frowned at Tiera "You leaving me"?
"Yeah I gotta do something" Tiera said standing up.
"For him"? I said squinching my eyes pointing my finger at King
"Why don't you go find ya baby dad bit-" he said back smart, but Tiera cut him off.
"Okay y'all play nice". She said in a soft calm voice.

I shook my head and stood up with my eyes on King "For ya information I know who my baby dad is... He left and he's too sucker to be in his baby's life".
He lower his eyes at me "I don't like you".
I shoved my shoulders and twisted my lip up at him forming a smirk on my face.
"I'll call you" Tiera said Chuckling at the two of us.

I nodded my head and watched them leave out the salon with a hurting heart. Here I am two in a half months and showing a little and he couldn't care less. Sad part was this was his baby I fucked up thinking he was gonna want me and now I gotta watch him raised my best friend's baby and not mines.
