NOUVEAU

big bank

Nona's POV

After school, Kris texted me that she would be leaving with Jeremiah, so I basically had to find a ride home since she drove us earlier. I texted Dax and fortunately, he said he would be able to drop me off.

-

"BIG BANK TAKE LIL' BANK, BANK! BIG BANK TAKE LIL' BANK, BANK!" Dax and I screamed as we bopped on the way home. The bass was so loud that the car was shaking.

I started doing this weird dance move with my hands and Dax just looked at me and chuckled.

"No?" he said approaching a red light as he turned his head to look over at me.

"Dax." I said looking back at him.

"Stop." he said straight-faced.

I just burst into laughter as I started a steady milly-rock. He shook his head smiling as the light turned green. Right at that moment, the song got interrupted with his ringtone.

"Daxonnn my sonnn!" a deep voice said through the car speakers.

"Tre." Dax responded. Tre was his older brother.

"Can you stop by at my crib real quick?" he said.

"Your crib is a whole hour away. And I'm dropping off my friend." Dax responded.

"I'm sure your friend will understand, it's urgent." he said, his voice laced with all seriousness.

Dax looked over at me. "Sorry No. I gotta make a quick stop."

"It's cool." I said as I got comfy in the seat, ready for a nap.

I woke up to see us in front of a gate, and behind the gate were the most beautiful looking condominiums ever.

Tre's POV

Daxon's 2018 black and blue BMW i8 pulled up as I opened the gate to let him into my driveway. He hopped out of the car and dapped me up as a beautiful young lady slowly exited from the passenger side.

"Lil B," I started, "Introduce me to your friend na, will ya?"

"Oh, my bad." he said looking back at the young lady, "No, com'ere. This my bro I been telling you about." She started to make her way towards us. "Tre, this Nona. Nona, this Tre."

She looked into my eyes and gave me a soft smile. "Nice to meet you, Tre." she said.

"Likewise." I said giving her a small hug. She was tall, standing at about 5'9, but she was what some of you females might consider petite. The way the sun was complimenting her complexion... damn. She had a sweet vanilla scent that I got a whiff of when she backed out of the hug. I didn't know shawty, but she was definitely a different case.

Daxon's POV

I watched Tre admire Nona as I mentally rolled my eyes. Tre was the biggest douche of a nigga when it came to girls, and I honestly didn't want him to even think about messing with No. No was too innocent for the type of shit that he messed with.

"No, can you wait for me in the car, imma be back soon, we gotta handle sum real quick." I said to her.

"Sure Dax. I'll be finishing my nap." she said as she yawned and got back into the car.

-

"Y'all fuck yet?" Tre asked me playfully punching my upper arm.

"Chill out Big B, it ain't like that. She's just a friend. Like a sis matter of fact." I said calmly.

"Aight. Aight. Ain't mean to disrespect." he said. I didn't say anything back and proceeded into his condo.

Shit was huuuge. Tre was a rapper and doing his thing outchea'. He was very humble though, like he didn't spend his money on useless things, instead he used it to provide for my ma and my little sisters. The extra money is what he spent on himself. Our dad left us when we were way younger so shit hasn't been too easy. He's been like a father figure to my younger sisters and I. Don't know what I would do without Big B. Still didn't want him messing with No tho.

"Aye, come help me real quick?" he called out. I headed over to him.
