Thug-ish (Book 1)

5:The call

Malo

I kiss Jamiya's forehead and sit in the chair next to her bed. "Why you look so sad?" She asks.

"Baby you got shot because of me." I sigh.

"And West too. And whoever else y'all have working for y'all, but it was Pablo who pulled that trigger."

"Well, he's not a problem anymore."

"Y'all killed him?" She asks.

"Like I said, he is not a problem anymore."

She shakes her head and stares at me with watery eyes. "Please don't get hurt." She begs.

"Baby, I won't. I promise."

"I just can't lose you. I love you too much." She cries.

"I love you too. I almost lost my mind because I thought you weren't going to make it." I tell her.

"But I did and we can't let nothing like this happen ever again."

"I know." I nod. "I'll be more careful."

Leti and I help Jamiya into West's house because she is the only one who has a room downstairs so Jamiya doesn't have to walk up any stairs. Leti is not happy about this because she and West are not speaking, well she's the one not speaking.

"Do you need something? Anything?" Leti asks Jamiya.

"No." Jamiya sighs. "I just want to be treated normal. I got shot, but I didn't die and I am capable of handling a few stairs."

"The doctor said no stairs and our apartment is on the third floor in our building and Malo lives on the second floor in hers." Leti says.

"Why don't we just leave Yaya alone?" West suggest.

"Why don't you leave me the fuck alone?" Leti asks. Oh, I guess I was wrong. She is speaking to West.

"Watch your mouth Leticia before I beat your ass." West threatens her.

"You're not gonna touch me." Leti says.

"Bet." West says taking a step towards Leti.

"Oh my God. Just stop!" Jamiya shouts. "You're giving me a headache."

"Y'all stressing my girl out. Y'all gotta get the fuck out." I demand. They both roll they eyes and storm out the room

"And we childish?" I say sarcastically causing Jamiya to laugh.

West

Leti has me all the way fucked up if she think she just finna talk to me any kind of way. I am mother fucking West. I run this city and everyone in it including her.

"Hello?" Leti answers her phone with an attitude. She needs to just let me dick her down again and she'll be fine.

"Who is that?" I ask her because who is calling her if Yaya and Malo in the room.

"Mind your business." She tells me. Ooh she testing me. "I'm sorry, that was my sister's friend." Who? I know she not talking about me.

"You're in town?" She asks the person on the other end. "Yeah we can....I'd love to...of course...okay, bye." She hangs up with the biggest fucking smile on her face.

"Who was that Leticia?" I demand.

"Nobody, Damn."

"You playing with me and I don't like it."

"Ain't nobody playing." She claims. "I was talking to a friend."

"And what are you doing with this friend?"

"Each other." She smirks.

"Mhm..okay. I see how imma have to do you."

"How?"

I get up and swoop her into my arms wrapping her legs around my waist. I bite down on her neck making an entire trail of love bites as I carry her up the stairs.

As soon as I lay her down on the bed my phone starts ringing. I check the caller ID and it is one of my workers.

"Yo?" I answer.

"It's done." Manny, my worker, says.

"Alright, here I come." I hang up to find Leti staring at me with her brows furrowed. "I gotta go to work."

She rolls her eyes and gets off the bed. "Yeah, have fun. Don't kill nobody." She says as she storms passed me. Damn. Manny couldn't wait another hour?
