Chapter Forty Six

Syn

Next Day

" Nigga fuck that! Pac Man gonna lay all types of hands on anyone they put in front of him. I mean he took a few losses but that's the only way to be successful man!" Santana yelled as him and my brothers invited themselves over to a free boxing match like flat screen at the house wasn't enough. It was just a big ol' group. My brothers, Game, Zeno, Nadia, Bria, Nymeria, Gia, Andrea, Whitney, Avant and I. I even managed to make all these people some fried wings, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and collard greens.

I sighed, putting my head down on the counter only to have Gia scoot under me.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"You like boys?" I asked. She made the most disgusted face.

"Their nasty," she cringed as Game came over and kissed me on the cheek.

"Damn right. Until she's thirty boys will be nasty as hell," I glared at him as he reached behind me taking a piece of chicken.

"Um did I say the food was ready?" He kissed me. Greasy lips and all.

"Don't mind his ugly ass. He would have been ordering take out if you weren't here," Bria said pushing him to the side. I looked over at my brother but the only thing that caught my eye  was Andrea and Zeno sitting real close and laughing it up.

Just standing there looking at them, I could have been her. Just knowing Game as Zeno's brother or not knowing him at all. But part of me was happy; he was moving on and not letting the current situations mess up what he wanted to do. It was better than it was a week ago when he held all grudged against us not even saying a word. I just wanted the relationship between him and Game as a good one no matter who was going to be daddy of my baby.

"You think something going on between Andrea and Zeno?" I asked Nadia as she tried to sneak some pieces of chicken like I didn't see her.

"Girl watch this," she said. "Andrea what's going on between you and Zeno?" She yelled and everyone looked at both of them.

"Nothing at all. I just want my money. Plus Zeno couldn't handle me even if I had a damn leash," Andrea yelled and everyone just burst out laughing.

I handed Nymeria and Gia theirs plates and decided to deal with everyone else next. I wanted them to eat first because I knew how these guys got. They would eat every damn thing. Nadia helped me with everyone else's plates. Me and her were last to eat. I walked over and took my seat next to Game.

"He has taste," Andrea complimented and I looked at her puzzled. She reached over and grabbed my hand, looking at my engagement ring, "2 carats in total weight, crafted in 14 karat white gold, radiant cut diamond center which is a white diamond. Jeweler price about ten grand." I looked at her in shock as she sat back and looked at Game who was just as shocked as me.

"Please tell me this nigga lying?" Santana questioned.

"He ain't lying. Game got more taste in jewelry than anyone else," Zeno pitched and my eyes stayed stuck on Game.

"She's right," Game admitted. I looked down at my finger thinking. I have the  price of a freaking car on my finger.

"How you know?" he asked Andrea.

"You know it's my expertise. Diamonds are a girl's best friend."

"Girl stop lying. You know you a gold digger." Nadia said her.

"Andrea used to rob jewelers back in the day. That's why she's so good at it." Bria answered.

"Good? Girl I am great at this." She smiled.

"Ay, aint that Trina?" my brother Kendrick said and turned up the TV.

"Tonight on Seven News. Two people brutally murdered in a Carol City home. Dave Anderson now reporting," the reporter said. I looked at Zeno and Game who had smiles on their faces.

"Late last night police were called to Coral Ridge apartments on the case of a double murder taking the life of Trina Veins and Jamal Porter. Police were called after neighbors say they heard screams." He said and they cut to a scene where a neighbor was on the screen.

"Usually Trina wouldn't get home with Jamal until one in the morning so this was usually unexpected. I just hope they get their justice," she said and Avant groaned.

"Man, fuck your justice!" Avant said.

"The murder was so gruesome. Please be advised the pictures are very bad." The reporter said and they shifted to pictures of the room with a sentence that said Revenge for Mic on the ceiling with blood dripping down the walls. It was so bad to look at I put my face into Game's chest.

"The female victim took two gunshots one to the forehead and throat while the male victim took  one cut to the neck. Families and friends have came to the house for answers. We are pulling up fingerprints but until then if anyone have seen anything, please call the tip hotline," the police officer said. I heard the channel change making me pick up my head.

"Damn that was kind of gruesome, Andrea. Why do you always have to leave your mark?" Nadia asked.

"Little ol me? A girl never gets her hands wet," Andrea answered

"Well we freaking know that, you wiped all that shit on the wall."

"Just shows that we have to keep low. Xavion's second girl and his head man are dead. He knows who did it, just have to keep him towards us." Game said and he looked at me. "We can't afford to lose the one closest to us."

"Especially the one bearing children." Zeno said.

I stared at Game and kissed me softly on the lips while wording I love you. We were about to head into war and as much as I didn't want it to be, this was a battle that my brother, Game and Zeno had to handle.
