Quest for Love

Chapter 6

Getting off the plane, Ray and my other bodyguard Smoky met us outside on the ramp in a Tahoe with tinted windows. Grabbing my bags, Dre helped Smoky put the bags in the car while Ray and I hugged like we haven't seen each other in years. Introducing Ray and Smoky to Deondre, they shook hands and we all got in the car. As we were driving, Ray informed me on what was happening at Arnies and The Factory. After I moved from Chicago, I had Ray overlook all my investments in Chicago so I stay in the loop. Now that Slim is in Atlanta, they are putting in double time making sure nothing bad happens. Hearing my personal phone ring, I saw it was Sean so I picked up.

"Hey Sean, wassup?"

"Hey you know that number that text you last night?" Sean asked.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"So get this. The number belongs to a Serenity Norfield from Miami. Lisa found her on IG, come to find out she either Drew's ex or they still together but she got something going on with Drew."

"What's her IG name?" I asked pulling out my other phone going on IG.

"Her name is @baddie_Serene. She has hella pictures of her and Drew."

"Iight let me check it out and see what's up. I'm with Ray and Smoke now. We about to stop at Harolds then go to my crib."

"Tell them niggas I said wassup and iight if I find anything else out, I'll let you know. Aye if she text you again let me know but don't respond to nothing, okay?

"Yea I gotchu." Once we hung up, we pulled up at Harolds so we all got out and went in. As I was standing in line, Ray was in front and Smoke was in the back of Deondre and I. Once people realized who I was, they started taking videos and pictures of me. There was this little girl standing behind Smoky, so I walked over to her and her mom started freaking out excitedly.

"Hi, my name is Giovanni. What's your name?" I asked bending down to her level.

"My name is Kennedy." She said shyly..

"How old are you Kennedy?"

"Five years old." She said proudly.

"That's pretty cool. What is your favorite thing you like to eat here?"

"Uhh CHICKEN!!!!!" She yelled jumping up and down.

"You want some chicken?"

"Yes and french fries" she said. Her mom popped her shoulder and whispered something in her ear that caused her to put her head down looking sad "I'm sorry."

"No worries. Aye smoke get Kennedy here some chicken and french fries." I looked back at her mom, "You want something else for later on?"

"No I think that will well enough for the both of us. Thank you so much, we really appreciate it."

"No problem." As we took pictures, Ray ordered our food while I took more pictures and signed autographs. After our food was called, we left heading to my second apartment on Michigan Avenue.

Arriving to my apartment, Smoky walked me upstairs making sure to scope the place before leaving me. They were taking Deondre to his mother's house and then bringing him back later on tonight. Turning on my TV, I settled on watching Love and Hip Hop Atlanta until my mother came.

Two hours later, my mom came through the door with bags of groceries. Helping her put them up, I helped her cook dinner. We made greens, smothered ribs, potato salad, spaghetti, and cornbread. By the time we were done with dinner, Deondre knocked on the door. Opening the door for him, my mother frowned. My mother always been protective over me and who I date since Que so if any man show any interest, she is just appalled.
