I Thought You Was Better Than That

Blood Diamonds: Chapter 29

~A Few Days Later~
~Travie P.O.V.~

These past few days I really had time to think shit over. I decided I wanted to go over to Charnae's apartment to apologize. I crossed a certain line and I shouldn't have. I've accepted I ruined my chances of being with Charnae.

"Oh, hey Travie." She said as she stood at the door.

"Hey you got a few?" She nodded her head and stepped aside for me to walk in.

"So what'd you need?" She asked as she sat down on the couch. I took a seat next to her and rested my forearms on the top of my thighs with my hands just hanging off my knees.

"I wanted to say I'm sorry for the other night. I shouldn't have said all the shit I said, I was just upset, missin' you, and had just broken up with Destiny, so I wasn't in the right mind set. That's no excuse but I want you to know I am sorry."

"It's a thing in the past. I forgive you." She said with a smile.

"Thanks Charnae. So what have you been up to?"

"Welcome and I just got back from Oakland."

"How was that?"

"It was fun. Beautiful weather. What about you?"

"Just doin' my deals and layin' low."

"Oh that's good. Please don't get caught by the cops. I don't want to have to go visit you at the jail." We both laughed a little.

"Nah I'm too good to get caught. So anything new with you?" She had a look like she had something on her mind, so I was curious.

"If I tell you, promise me you won't tell anyone." Oh my God, this like 3rd grade shit.

"Aight fine. What?"

"I got a big ass tattoo." She said with a laugh.

"A tattoo? I thought you was gon' tell me something serious. Let me see the tattoo." She got up and lifted her shirt just a little bit. "That's actually hella dope. How many sessions?"

"3. I'm gonna get the 3rd one done next year." I nodded my head and she took a seat back on the couch.

"Why so long?"

"Just to space it out. It hurts a lot especially in that area." That's reasonable.

"Aight Charnae, well I'm gonna head out. I just wanted to stop by and apologize for the other night." I said as I stood up and started walking to the door.

"Okay. Thanks again for the apology and we'll have to hang out another time." She said with a warm smile.

"We need to. Bye Charnae." I gave her a side hug and headed out to my car. I got a text saying I was needed at the trap.

"Aight what's up?" I asked as I walked into the main room. I saw a few of my goons chillin' with a blunt in their hands.

"We had a problem moving our latest shipment." What?

"How? It was a simple move."

"Crossed territory and the goons were murked. Drugs were taken too."

"By who?" I asked impatiently. I could already feel my blood starting to boil beneath my skin and my temper just begging to burst.

"IRG."

"Why were the goons going through Oakland-"

"IRG doesn't just run Oakland. They run the entire Cali West Coast. We usually go through Arizona and up through Nevada but you wanted to get this moved faster. You sent them through the coast and look what happened. You just lost about 4 million dollars worth of drugs to IRG."
