Street Special

Chapter 2 : Your not the only one

" Amad what are you doing , Get up ! " Yelled Cain in her southren accent . She busted threw the creeky paint peeled door that was barely hanging on to the door  frame .

"Cain get out bro , Ion need you coming up in here . " Groaned Cain's younger brother Amad . 

"Excuse you nigga ? You better getcho ass up !" Spat Cain yanking the dingy gray comforter from over Amad's head .

Amad hated going to school but he couldn't tell Cain that . She'd only start preaching about him wanting to end up like other guys .

"Amad it's the last day of school . Get up nigga damn !" Yelled Cain leaving the room to finish getting herself together .

Cain wasn't in the mood for Amad's shenanigans this morning . She had to be at work at 9 to open and being late was never an option for her .

Cain studied her reflection in the foggy stained mirror . She hated that she looked so much like her herion addicted mother. She was splitting image of her and everytime she looked in a mirror she was reminded of what her mother use to look like . Before she ran off and got addicted to drugs .

She hadn't seen her mother since her senior year of high school . Which was three years ago .

Shaking the thoughts from her mind she pulled her naturally curly hair into a messy bun . Cain was as beautiful as they came .

She had hazel eyes  and a mocha skin complexion . Her body was curved in all the right places and she made no effort to hide what god himself had blessed her with. Most woman had to pay for a body like Cain's .

Cain and Amad shared different father's. Ahmad was a dark chocolate complexion due to his father being Hatian . His dreads stayed neat and he normally rocked them in braids or a man bun . He had a perfect colgate smile . You'd never know that Cain & Amad were sister and brother if it weren't for their hazel eyes .

Cain removed her bonnet & brushed the back of hair she loved her hair being cut into a pixie style . She could just brush & go .

"You gone get out so i can pee ?" Asked Amad his dreads hanging all over his face .

"Boy hurry up . You see me trying to brush my hair . " Snapped Cain walking out the paint peeled door .

"What hair ?" Joked Amad slaming the door shut before Cain could react .

"Ok you got jokes , we gone see how funny you is when yo lil ass walking to school ." Yelled Cain making her way down the hall to her room .

The small two bedroom apartment complex set on the South side of Houston . Cain hated living in the neighborhood but it was all her General Manager check at Whataburger could afford.  She had to take care of her baby brother by any means. He was turning 18 this summer and she'd already told him he could work at Whataburger for the summer to help her pay for everything he needed for his senior year. 

Cain opened the door to her room and began to get dressed in her work uniform.  She checked her Rose gold Iphone 6plus and saw a text . .

Cartier : Can't stop thinking bout you shawty. 

Cain smirked at the text. She'd only been on one date with Cartier and he acted as if he was already falling for her . Cain knew better though.  Cartier was a known drug dealer and she was well aware of what cane with that territory .

Deciding not to text Cartier back she continued getting ready.

"Amad hurry up , I'm ready to go ." Said Cain knocking on the bathroom door .

Cain's phone buzzed in her back pocket . She retrieved it only to see another text from Cartier .

Cartier : You really left my mind wondering .

Cain blushed a little a decided to call Cartier as she waited on Amad to get ready. 

The phone rang twice before he answered .

"Whats good ?" Asked Cartier his voice making Cain weak in her knees .

Cain had no time to date she was to busy working and taking care of her brother . She couldn't resist Cartier for some reason . It was like he had a spell on her .

"You gone blow me up all day Karter ?" Asked Cain calling Cartier by his real name .

Cartier chuckled at her boldness . Her voice relaxed him something no woman besides his mother could do .

"I might if you like it ." Cartier spoke back cooly .

Cain couldn't help but blush . They'd went out on a date over a month ago and talked and texted as much as they could .

"You had to be with one of your hoes last night because you ignored all my text . " Stated Cain half jokingly .

Cartier had knew that was coming although she was right he could never admit it . He knew stringing Cain along could turn out very bad for him but he had to have her . She spoke to his soul a soul that was so dark and hardened by life . She had something Mia was missing . 

"Nah i saw you . I was just handling business . " Spoke Cartier as he pulled up into Cain's apartment complex . He couldn't help himself .

Cain was smiling so hard her cheeks began to hurt . She knew she could easily fall for Cartier thats why she had to be careful .

" Who got you looking stupid ?" Asked Amad entering the kitchen and going straight to the ice box .

His dreads were pulled up into a neat bun . He wore all black and Gray foam piolts that Cain had bought him at the beginning of the school year . They were still in great shape .

Cain smacked her lips and rolled her eyes at Amad as if she was telling him to shut up .

"I guess I'll let you make it . " Replied Cain sliding her work shoes on and grabbed her car keys to the Gray beat up impala she drove. 

"You guess ? " Questioned Cartier making his way to Cain's front door .

"Yea i guess. " Smiled Cain ignoring the kissy faces Amad was making at her .

Cartier knocked on the door three times .

"Who knocking on yo door ?" Cartier asked after he finished knocking. 

"I don't know . . Amad get the door ." Ordered Cain before reverting back to her conversation .

Amad peeped threw the peephole & noticed it was Cartier . He didn't really know to much about him but the few times he'd seen him he'd seem cool . Amad knew he was a king pin but he decided to play dumb to the fact . He didn't want Cain knowing how he'd been running the streets. 

"It's for you ." Said Amad dapping up Cartier as he opened the door .

"For me . . " Cain stopped mid sentence as she stared Cartier in the eyes still holding the phone up to her ear .

Cartier smirked at her reaction . Cartier noticed how real and genuine Cain was . She didn't try to fit into his life . She was just her and he liked that about her .

"You surprised to see me ?"  Asked Cartier closing and locking the door behind him. 

Amad went back into the kitchen to finish looking for some breakfast .

Cain smiled and blushed uncontrollably but decided to come back with a smart remark. 

" How you know my dude wasn't here . " Cain joked raising her perfectly waxed eyebrow and crossing her arms .

"You know better . " Smirked Cartier pulling Cain into a hug .
