-1 Month Later-
Everything was falling apart.
Aubrey may have been too stupid to realize it but it was. He was too busy running around with Levi to see anything. These girls were sneaking around, lying, and wondering off. It was maybe one girl at first but soon all of them were doing things behind his back. Aubrey was too caught up with "showing Levi around" to notice these changes. This was supposed to be a two week thing but they were always together.
I had a bad feeling about Levi. He was distracting Papi and fucking with his business, and he didn't even notice. This shit was getting annoying and every time I tried to warn him he ignored me or accused me of some crazy shit. Aubrey was one to believe everything I say, even if he knew I was lying to his face, but lately he won't listen to me. He was treating me like the rest of the girls and I wasn't liking it.
"Riley, watch the house. I gotta go to a meeting." Aubrey said as he walked into the living room.
"Wait what? I'm not going?" He always took me for an extra pair of eyes and ears. Aubrey had never not taken me.
"Nah, Levi is going so I don't need you." I rolled my eyes and looked back at the laptop. "Don't roll your eyes." I looked back at him and dramatically rolled my eyes, making sure he saw. I knew that would piss him off. He walked over to me and slapped me. "What did I just say?" He grabbed my chin. "You're really falling off lately, can't even fallow simple instructions not to roll your fucking eyes." He let go of my chin and stood. I slammed the laptop.
"Wait wait, I'm the one falling off?" He turned around. "You can't even open your eyes to see what's going on here. All these fucking girls are sneaking around, and you're losing money. Maybe if you weren't so caught up with this nigga this wouldn't be a problem. Get your shit together Aubrey." He stood and stared at me. "You know what just go to your fucking meeting and when you come back maybe you'll be able to run a house." I pushed past him and walked out of the room.

I climbed into my car and started driving back home.
The meeting was totally pointless, we discussed money and possible girls to bring in. I really wasn't even paying attention, I was beyond pissed. Riley really thought she had the power to speak to me that way. I will admit I hadn't been around the house lately but that didn't mean she ran shit.
I pulled into the driveway and got out of the car. As I walked into the house I searched for Riley. She was about to get it when I found her. I searched every room, not finding any of the girls. I finally checked my room and found her. She sat there smoking from my hookah . She really did think she ran shit. I walked over and grabbed the hose and sat down next to her. I smoked a little before speaking.
"That shit that happened earlier isn't gonna happen again." I said before breathing in some smoke. She took the hose and took some in. She blew it out before I spoke. "I don't want you to come in my room and touch my shit again either."
"Aubrey you need to watch these girls." She said, ignoring everything I just said. "Did you notice they weren't here when you came home? Did any tell you where they went?" I nodded. "Exactly, they're taking advantage of you, and you don't even realize it."
"Riley, just worry about yourself. Alright?" She sighed before starting to get up but I grabbed her. She fell back on the ground. "What?"
"Aubrey what's been up with you lately?" She said scooting away from me. "You're never around and when I try to warn you about things you never listen."
"Ri, why can't you just mind your own business."
"If you can't ran this damn house, someone has to." She raised her voice. "You're running around with some nigga that is no good, why can't you see that?"
"I'm giving you a chance to not worry about anything and you're not even taking it. I've been showing the kid around, so don't try to bring that shit into this either." I blew in some smoke from the machine. "Why can't you just let shit go? Maybe I'm loosening up a bit and letting some of the rules be broken. So what? Last time I checked I'm in charge and no one else." She started getting up again and I quickly grabbed her arm, which she yanked away.
"When rules start being broken, shit gets messy, and when shit messy, it falls apart. You've said that to me too many times to be going against it." She yelled. "When everything goes wrong don't come to me." She walked out and slammed the door.
In a lot of ways, she was right. I really was letting these girls off the hook for things and letting shit get messy, made things fall apart. I wasn't gonna let any of these girls, including Riley, ruin this shit. She may have been right but I wasn't gonna let her know.
I sat back and continued smoking from the hookah. I really did have to find a way to fix this, I couldn't let anyone take away the power I had.
