Tales From The City Of Lost Hearts

Keep playin games

    (Chi is shown in the pic above. This may not stay the person who i picture portraying him.)

After talking to the girls and making sure everything was in order with the trap. I decided to head to my home away from home.
       Pulling into the driveway of an old rundown home that i wouldn't be able to never forget. I turned my car off an headed for the front door. I didn't need to knock because no one was crazy enough to bust in here. Everyone knew they would die before they could ever get anything out.
     The stench of marijuana is heavy, the boys are all hovered around playing dice and some are on the couch playing the game. I don't stop to speak because their loyalty isn't to me and i don't bow my head to no man.
   Making my way up the stairs. I reach the door i always find myself opening. Entering i see Malachi standing in the mirror with nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. Twisting his curls with one hand and scanning over the newly fresh tattoo on his hip line with the other.
        I bite my lip. The thoughts this man could make run through my mind we're crazy, but the things i would do for him were even more crazy.

" You better stop lookin at me like that before i give you what you really came here for" he said with a smile coming to his pretty face showing off his dimples.
     I couldn't help but smile and slowly trace my teeth with my tongue. " When have i ever listened to you" i state with mischief shining bright in my eyes.

The sexual tension between us could cut through an elephant. We hadn't messed around yet, but i always found myself coming back to him. We had history. I had known him most my life and trusted him just as much as i trusted Angie. He would've been apart of my crew if he didn't have his own.

You see Malachi was the type of man who gave orders he couldn't take them. Even though we weren't in the same crew. The loyalty an love we had to each other was known to the streets. He would protect me at all costs and i would do the same for him. I guess you can say that's why our crews worked so good together.

I was brought out of my daze by this rude ass nigga slamming me down on the bed. He was always playing around. I mean mugged his ass and stood up from the bed straightening my hair.

I walked to look at myself in the mirror before stating " i didn't come here to play with you Chi. We need to talk business." He rolled his eyes and took a deep breathe. Then he said " alright lay it on me Ma what's going on."

I told him about the guys who were stepping on the territory. Any threat to my life was a threat to Chi's no matter how small. I would never take it lightly no matter if the gang thought i would.

We talked it over and decided to send two of each of our guys to handle it. He already knew who i would send. I could only guess he would send Money and Lorenzo two of his best shooters. They were all business no play which would make perfect for sending them along with my two knuckle heads.

" You want me to come over tonight" he asked but the way he was asking i knew he wouldn't take no for an answer. I didn't want to tell him no anyways i had honestly missed him. When he was around it was like we were just two people who vibed no matter what and all the other issues and problems of the past didn't exist.

I agreed and gave him a kiss before leaving. I needed to head to the mall and find a couple outfits. I hope he didn't think i forgot about his little club opening in two days.

I pull into the mall parking lot. I hate packed places. Before getting out i sit and think about the first time me and Chi met and how it all begin.

——————————-FLASHBACK—————————
We were both thirteen. Me and Angie were on the block selling dimes. Trying to make a come up so we could get our next meal. We were out here day an night. A scrawny little black and Mexican boy Got dropped of by the bus.  We made eye contact and instead of him turning and leaving he began to walk up to me.
I was on the defense mode because i didn't know what type of shit he was on. The moment he smiled at me my guard slowly went down. It was like the world stopped and all i wanted to do was to get to know him.
Angie had left to go and get some food for us.
he rubbed the back of his neck while saying "My name Malachi." I Smiled and grabbed the hand he was rubbing his neck with. " I'm Ryan you don't have to be nervous ."
He was a cute little boy who lived not to far from the stop. We hung out every now and then. I had a big crush on him.

The difference between him then and now is so crazy, but even then i thought he was the best looking guy i knew. I remember asking for his number my palms sweating. I wasn't the girl i am now. The confidence i had now if i had it back then everyone would've been shook. It's a good thing the beast in me wasn't born until i hit the real world. Back then i was a little runt out on the streets moving dimes until me and Chi hatched a plan to take it all.

Our history and the bond we built is something no one could break. Even when we hate each other we still love each other. I guess you can say the rest is history lol.

——————————FLASHBACK•OVER——————

I'm a quick shopper when I'm on a mission. I don't just hate places that are packed, but dealing with other people an their attitudes just isn't for me. Leaving out of Charlotte R with my final outfit I'm ready to leave. Just because i have a lot of money doesn't mean I'm gonna blow it on designer. I love forever 21 and fashion nova way more than those other places.

I start my car an make my way towards my home. I trusted my gang, but i only allowed four people to know where i lay my head. Chi and Angie, but only Chi knew that the top level of my home was just a front. I couldn't have other people knowing i had another level underneath just in case there was a snake amongst us. Something in my gut kept telling me not everyone was as loyal as they pretend to be.
