My Exception

Chapter 8

(Enzo)

It's been a few days since I've seen . We had a hiccup at the warehouse, someone actually tried to steal a shipment coming in. They completely forgot who the fuck they were dealing with. I knew a few crews were gonna try me being so young trying to take over the business, but to attempt this was straight suicide.

It was a stupid no name crew trying to gain some respect in the game. Right now we just got done sending a message back to their leader to never fuck with us again. Leaving the warehouse I get a text from my .

Мед: Did you die?

Me: Miss me already?

Мед: *gags*you wish. I just noticed I haven't been annoyed the past few days and I thought hm.. do dreams really come true.

Me: Whatever I know you love me

Мед: 😷😷🙅🙅

"who got you smiling like that?" Marko nosey ass asked leaning over getting a look at my phone.

"Stef"

"Word? I didn't think she give yo dusty ass a chance."

"What about you any luck on getting your wifey's number?"

"I got it finally, I tracked her down in the lunch room our second day" he said looking proud of himself "I gotta be soft with her. She jumps at the first chance to get away from me"

"You sure she likes you bro? maybe you gotta take the L on this one"

"Naw she's into me, I can tell. It's like she wants to try and open up to me but something about me scares her. I don't know, all I know is she's worth the wait." I could tell he was frustrated that he couldn't charm his way into her like he has before. I've never seen him show this much patience with a girl before, so it must be real for him.

Making it home I clean up from all today's work. Mom left town last might to handle some business overseas. Their a few dead ends she has to clip before I fully make the transition. She wasn't due back for at least a week, so I think I'll have some fun this weekend. Picking up the phone I call the one person who I know can make that happen for me.

"You know just because I sent you a text, which I'm regretting right now, doesn't mean that you can call me." Stef said teasingly through the phone.

"Well since I know you miss me-

"God no"

"-so much I thought, hey why don't I invite my good friend over to hang out this weekend" I say with as much sincerity as I can, holding my laugh until she responds. She didn't disappoint.

"Oh I'm sorry, did you confuse me with the normal dumb bimbos who fall for that crap" she says in the same tone I used with her. "now what do want, I'm watching 'Bad girls club' and your ruining it"

"Okay, Okay. I really wanted to invite you and your girls over to my place to hang with some of my boys. Get to know yall and make up for last time."

"Yeah you were an ass last time... what are we getting out of this? You're getting us and we're getting...?"

"How about free food? Anything yall want..." crossing my fingers hoping that'll be enough to get her to come out. Biting my bottom lip nervously waiting on her answer.

Sighing she says "ok fine we'll come. But I ain't cheap I want real food!"

Silently fist pumping in the air "Yeah I got it! Anything yall want on me. Text your girls and then hit me back when yall know what yall want." Still celebrating I get ready to text Marko. "Saturday, yall can come over around 3. We can swim-"

"Swim?! It's like January?"

"Indoor pool babe, it'll be chill. I'll even pick up some fireworks too."

"Going all out huh? Haha ok sounds good" she said kinda distracted "Oh shit I gotta go Portia is about to beat Natalie's ass! I'll text you later bye!" hanging up on me before I could get another word in. That must be a good ass show. Picking up the phone again I call Marko.

"what?"

"I better be the best man at the wedding because I got the girls to come over this weekend"

"NO SHIT?!" talking with Marko about what we should do I can't stop smiling knowing that my Мед would be here this weekend.
