The Hustle

Dinah Jane

"You know DJ, nobody's going to take you serious, unless you act serious?"

"How I do that?" I asked as I cleaned my gun.

They chuckled. "You take extreme measures or just make an example of somebody." I nodded, but I was still curious.

"How?"

"That just depends on what you wanna do, I won't always be here D. So step up and do it yourself."

Anytime I'm in a good mood, it's always ruined when I get a text from my homeboy Eso.

Eso was my mexican friend, he was one of the very small group of people I trusted. He never did me wrong and just like he had my back, I had his.

It started when I get a text from him earlier. I didn't really think much of it, because I was trying to kiss Normani. Which I got to do. However, he texted me again when we were at the steps and that shit killed my whole mood.

I bust into the trap house and looked around the room. It was bottles on the floor, bitches everywhere, and guys sprung out on the couch I guess they didn't notice me. I huffed and slammed the door.

Everyone jumped up and pointed at the door, with their guns out. Good at least they knew protocol.

"The fuck is going on here!" I yelled as I walked around the room. The only thing you heard was silence, except music playing.

"So we all deaf now?" I kicked this guy foot who looked almost dead. "This shit looks a mess. Is this what I pay yall dumbasses to do?" I looked around and some people had their head down.

"You got bitches everywhere. Matter' fact if you ain't working get out." They just stared at me and I sighed.

I reached in my back where my strap was and took it out. "Get the FUCK OUT! NOW!" I yelled. They started to scramble knocking drinks over, and things. I looked at the people who were left and clenched my jaw. I yelled out for everyone to come in the living room. Once everyone was settled, I stood in front of them.

I already took off my blazer, and I rolled up my sleeves. "Now what happen tonight was unexceptable. What the fuck were you guys were thinking?" I looked around the room and no one answered. "Aight so we can't talk? You in the dumbass blue shirt come here." I grabbed him by his shirt. "Since nobody wants to pay attention, I guess, I'll have to make an example."

I grabbed my gun and slapped him across the face with it. He groaned and fell to the floor.

"Now, when I come back tomorrow, I want this place back to the way it was. Shidd maybe even better. Is that understood." Everyone answered and got up and start doing what I asked. "And where the fuck is Masi?" I asked.

A kid no older than seventeen pointed to the back. I went to the back and I could her faint groaning. I sighed and opened the door. Masi was on the edge of the bed, getting head by a blondie. I rolled my eyes before speaking.

"Masi get your dumbass out here and help with this shit. I should be yo ass." He was so high, he probably didn't hear shit I said. He just chuckled and grabbed the girls head. "Hey bitch get up and out." His dick popped out her mouth and she looked at me. "Who you calling a bitch?" I shook my head before walking over to her. I grabbed her by the hair and she was screaming.

"Get. The. Fuck. Out." I pushed her out the room and looked at Masi who was about to light another blunt. I balled my hand into a fist and punched him in the nose. "Aw fuck dude." "Now get yo stupid ass out there and help them and if you aren't doing shit when I come back, I'm doing more than a bruised nose."

I walked out the room and back into the living room. They were already close to being done. I chuckled before going to my car. I got in and drove off. I was too tired to go home so I called up a hoe I use to fuck with and went to her house. Thankfully she let me hang there, while I rested. I shot Mani a quick text and went to sleep.

Normani Kordei

"Now why would you do that?" I asked as I placed my clutch on the table.

"What?"

"What?" I mocked back.

"Bitch you always playing, but I'm sorry. She's cute though. Where did you find her?" Keke said as she followed me into my room.

"At the club I work. Apparently that night it was her birthday." I smirk as I take off my earrings.

"Mhm, I bet."

"Anyway how was my baby?"

"Bad as hell." I shake my head and take off my heels.

"You wore that?" She asked taking a look at my clothes.

"What's wrong with this?"

"You ain't give her no tease or nothing."

"It's only the third date baby girl. Take notes because you and August are on thin ice." She gave me a blank face.

"On that NOTE. I'm leaving."

"No don't go stay." I say with every bit of sarcasm. She shot me a bird and left out.

When I heard the front door closed, I started taking off my dress. She was right, I didn't really give Dinah nothing to drool over, but you see I still got her to kiss me, which I honestly wasn't expecting. I mean eventually, it was bound to happen and I didn't mind that it happend tonight. Mm, I get wet just thinking about it.

Once I had my close off I was too tired to take a shower, so I took a hoe bath and got in the bed. I checked some messages and looked at the one from my boss.

Damn, I had to work tomorrow night. I can't catch a break, but I gotta pay off these student loans. That's another reason I wanted to switch careers. I layed in bed for a minute about to fall asleep but my message ringtone went off making me grab my phone to see who it was.

It was Dinah let me know she was safe and sound, she also said to sleep tight. I smiled at the message.

This girl already had me too deep in and wasn't nothing I could do about it, but sit back and ride the wave. I just hope she won't break me. I really don't need that right now.
