Rider (Cali Love Sequel) (Completed) {Book 2}

Chapter 2 : Situated

Elite

"Chris," I said, walking in our little warehouse. He walked up to me, running a hand over his head.

"Follow me," He said, walking down the small hallway leading towards the back. I followed him and he opened the door to where I saw Jaylen and few other niggas surrounding a girl, sitting on the ground.

She looked homeless. Busted weave, shredded clothes, and dirt all over her face. But under the scars on her face and her beat up clothes, I could tell she was pretty. I raised an eyebrow at her as she looked at me.

"Whats going on?" I asked, looking at Chris and the rest of the guys.

"She wants to be on the team, bro," Jaylen explained. "She broke in last night and she refuses to leave until you get her a job."

I looked at her and walked over to her, bending down to her level.

"Uh, look sweetheart, I think its best if you just leave. This ain't no office kind of job. This shit is too dangerous for you."

"There is nothing that I haven't seen in my life that can scare me," She replied, bluntly. "And I know this is job is dangerous. But it can't be as bad as what I did before."

"And what is that?" I asked, now curious.

"I was a prostitute. I been raped, threatened with a gun, almost overdosed on cocaine, kidnapped, and the list goes on. But I'm here aren't I? Doesn't that show you how tough of a bitch I am?"

I was shocked by her response but slightly impressed. She caught my attention.

"Whats ya name?" I asked her.

"Mistic. But you could call me Misty."

"Okay, Misty, why should I choose you to be on my team?"

"Because I'm smart, I'm sexy, and I know money like the back of my hand. Just think about how many niggas would want some weed if I sold it to them."

I nodded and smiled a little. She definitely was tough and pretty enough to lure niggas in for some weed. I stood up and reach my hand out to help her up. She accepted it and I eyed her body.

Thin waist, flat stomach, a round, fat ass, and big titties. I knew she'd catch a lot of niggas attention with that body and her face, when she got it healed.

"So whats it gonna be?" She questioned, folding her arms. I looked at Chris and Jay for approval. They just shrugged.

"Iight, shawty, but first," I said, walking over to the safe and getting a handgun. "You gotta learn how to shoot."

"Gimme," She ordered, reaching her hand out for the gun. I handed it to her and Chris placed three empty cans of Coke on a table.

She got into position and hit all three cans off the table with ease. We all looked on in shock, once the last can, hit the ground. She smiled at me, putting the gun at her side.

"Anything else?" She asked, cockily.

"Um, nah," I chuckled, taking the gun back. "First I gotta show the basics of this shit and get you situated. Then we gonna get you cleaned up and looking right. Cool?"

She smiled and nodded. "Thank you...um?"

"Elite," I responded.

"Thank you, Elite," She said, holding her stare on me. I smiled.

"Come on," I said, leading her to my car.

Nicole

With my head buried in my textbook, Leighanne sat on the bed next to me watching Bubble Guppies. I don't why she liked the show so much when she had no clue what was going on. I guess it was just the colors.

I smiled as she bounced up and down, dancing to the song they were singing, clapping her hands. She was adorable.

I highlighted a few notes when I heard the front door open and close. Thank God, Elite was back. He walked in and tickled Leighanne making her squeal with laughter. I smiled.

"You missed daddy, Leigh?" He asked her as if she could respond, scooping her up and planting kisses all over her cheek. Then he started twirling her around.

"Elite, be careful, she just ate," I warned. He stopped immediately, taking a seat near me on the bed.

"Babe, I got her now, you could sleep now, iight?" He pecked my cheek. "Imma take her out."

"Where?" I questioned.

"Nic, don't worry about it. Just focus on you right now and get ya mind back on track."

I sighed and nodded. Even though I was grateful for the break, I couldn't help but worry about Leighanne, wondering where Elite was taking her.

"Okay, lemme get her dressed then," I offered, trying to take her. But he moved Leighanne away outta my arms reach.

"Nicki, I'm serious," He stated, looking at me. "Imma tie you up if you don't stop."

I smirked. "Okay, I'm sorry."

He got up with Leighanne and bent over kissing my lips. Then made Leigh kiss me too, with her drool coming all over my cheek. I laughed, kissing her cheek back.

"Tell mommy bye," Elite said, making Leighanne's hand wave at me.

"Bye, baby, I love you," I pouted as Elite took her towards the door.

"Sleep," He ordered, walking out and shutting the door. I sighed, turning off the tv and removing my books from the bed. I closed my eyes and fell fast asleep.

Elite

After getting Leigh ready, I went back to my car with Misty in it. She looked at Leigh and smiled.

"Oh my god, she's adorableee!" She said, turning around and making faces at Leigh in the backseat. Leigh started laughing.

"Thanks," I said, pulling off.

"Whats her name?"

"Leighanne."

"Aww, look at her eyes! She has your eyes, Elite."

I laughed, checking Leigh in the rearview mirror, giving Misty the puppy eyes.

"Takes after her daddy. All cute and shit," I said, cockily. Misty rolled her eyes, smirking.

"Oh whatever. Where are you taking me?"

"Well I'm checking you into a hotel so you could at least take a shower," I said, looking over at her. "What happened to you anyway?"

"I got into a little fight with my pimp and I ran away. I been on the streets ever since until I came across your warehouse and stayed there for the night. When Chris and Jaylen found me and told me to get out. I refused to because I knew damn well what the warehouse was. A drug house. So I told them I wasn't moving until they gave me a job."

"Damn," I shook my head. "You really want this shit, huh?"

"I need this shit," She corrected me. "I am not going back to being a prostitute, Elite. I just can't anymore."

I nodded in understanding, keeping my eye on the road. Once we pulled up to a Holiday Inn, I took Leighanne with me and went inside with Misty to check her in.

I gave her the key to her room after I finished paying it for her and everything.

"Go in ya room and get yaself situated, iight? Imma come back later to show you what you gonna be doing. Okay?"

She nodded and walked to the elevator, pressing the up button and disappearing inside. I walked out with Leigh, going to my mom's house.
