S.E.A.L IV: All I Need

Chapter 3

"You must be used to all the finer things, infatuated by what money brings"

~Charli~

Don't fall for that I said to Phil as this freak walked passed us. How you know I was looking? Cause I know you and that right there is going to get you in trouble. You been married to long man. Even if I wasn't, I know better to deal with a female like that. One that is only after what she thinks you got. And you know that how? I've been watching her, and her home girl talk for the last 20 mins looking over here at us trying to get our attention. You gotta pay attention to the signs man. Damn he said looking over his shoulder at the girls smiling and waving at him. What I tell you I said chuckling. Man, its whatever I got my girl and I am not trading her in for something like that. Remember that cause girls like that will try to make you forget what you got at home. Never that I love my baby. Mhm you also love living too cause you know Faith will beat that ass. Trust me I know I ain't trying to go through that ever again. Good, come on let's get out of here I said putting the money on the table for the check.

As we walked pass the girls one brave one had to stop us. Hey yall leaving so soon! Yeah, we gotta get back to work. Work huh, so what do yall do? We in the mus... we garbage men. The hell Phill said cocking his head to the side. Garbage men she said looking at us with her nose turned up at us. Mhm we pick up trash every day for living. Neever mind she said rolling her eyes and walking aways It was nice to meet you! Yeah whatever she said rolling her neck as she walked off towards her girlfriend. Those niggas is garbage men said as she made it back to the table.

Told you gold diggers I said as we walked out. You ain't have to tell them we were garbage men though. Ain't nothing wrong with being a garbage man, they make bank too. Well that ain't for me. Be humble Phil, you ain't always been wearing Gucci and Rolex's. True if you wouldn't have saved my life I'd probably be dead now. Naw god saved you I am just here to make sure that you follow the right path. Thanks! Thanks for what! Looking out for me, you stepped in to my brother's shoes to make sure I ain't end up like him. I just did what I knew was right and now you paying it forward with Terri.

Terrance man he's wild for real. Of course, he is he's young and impressionable. I mean look at his circumstances. Father in jail, mother dead, being raised by his grandmother. He does what he does for attention not on purpose. True I am just trying to get him to focus and pay attention. I mean he only wants to do what's right if I am buying him something or taking him somewhere. That was mistake number one, Phil I ain't buy you shit when you were in school, I made you work for it. That Europe trip wasn't free, we worked for 3 weeks when we were there and all that stuff he thinks you have wasn't free you worked hard for it. How do I get him to realize that though, he has the problem seeing the bigger picture? Help him to see it. Next time tell him "aye we about to work for this shit". Show him you working for yours so he gotta work for his. You maybe, right about that. You know I am right and speaking of working for stuff, what about your project?

I realized real quick that Phil wasn't just good with numbers he was also good in science too. I wouldn't be his homie if I ain't push him in that area as well.

It's coming along. Coming along like you working on it or coming along like you ain't started it and its due in 2 weeks. The latter! Phil! I know, I know but I just can't wrap my mind around what the hell this professor wants from me. It's a science project not rocket science surely you could come up with something. You don't get it this science class is ridiculous and its kicking my ass literally. What class is it for? Advance biology! What does your syllabus say? It basically says to pick something and do the project on it. I looked at my watch and then back at Phil we got 2 hours to get you something for this project and then get back in the studio and work. You gon help me with my project? Yeah, I am cause if you fall behind that messes with yo money and we don't have time for that right now. Nope we don't he said dapping me up. Get Terrance on the same level so he can do the same for someone else.
