The Ladder To Becoming A King! (URBAN)

Chapter 7: The Rich Life

I stayed in this orphanage with this lady for almost a year and believe me it was hell.

Haha. It is Hell's Place, shaking my head.

Me and the orphanage lady got into so many fights it was ridiculous! We argued about me going outside to me staying in my room all the time. she was just an old ass bully.

I was laying on my bed one day and she came in my room. I sat up and she just stood there looking at me with a look of fear. I just stared back with a confused ass look.

"Somebody is here for you" she said. I said who, but she just said go see.

I got up and walked out my room and went to the front door. It was a light-skin nigga he was like 10 years older than me and he had some dark-skinned nigga with him. I figured out why the orphanage lady was so scared. She opened the door and these nigga's was holding glock's in they hands.

"You that nigga they call Little Baby" the light-skinned dude said. "Yeah, why?" I replied.

"Your ass is growing up fast little nigga it's almost that time for you to get back to work, but this time we'll pay you for your work." He said.

I didn't know what to think. I know my last foster dad said they would always be watching me, but damnnnn I thought he was playing. I swear at this moment I knew I wasn't safe at all. These nigga's were really watching me.

"I just needed to see your face" he said. Then they stood there for a minute, then walked away.

When I went back into the house the orphanage lady asked "what did you get yourself into." I told her I didn't get myself into nothing, just mind your own business.

She looked at me like she just wanted to kick me out right then and there. Shit I had to figure out some way to get out of this gang shit and her all in my business wasn't going to help me.

3 MONTHS LATER....

I'm laying down when all of a sudden the orphanage lady comes in. "King pack your stuff" she said. "Damn you kicking me out?" I asked. "King somebody out of your real family is here to get you" she said. All I seen was tears falling from her eyes.

"Why are you crying?" "I thought you wanted me to leave." I asked.

"Believe me I do, but I raised you from a baby and now your leaving me forever" she said. I laughed a little. She could not be serious all those times she got rid of me.

I gave her a hug, then walked out the room. When I walked toward the living room there was a man standing there. He said " hey bud I'm your cousin Cornell." He shook my hand. "What do you say to him?" The orphanage lady said behind me. "Nice to meet you, I'm king" I said. "I'm glad you have manners, that's the beginning to becoming a gentleman" he said.

After we got done with the small talk we hopped in the car and drove to his house. Mannnnnn! This house was amazing it was big as fuck! I know, I know I said that about the other houses I was at, but this one was different.

There was a lot of rooms, bathrooms and the basement had a lot of shit like video games and shit.

I knew I couldn't fuck this chance of having a somewhat normal life up. So I stayed out my Cornell way as much as possible.

He was doing it big, he was always in the studio and he had all the fine sexy women around him.

I remember going on tour with him and everybody had to cater to me. They always brought me cookies and cakes. One of them day I told them people I wanted some real food, then I never got another cookie or cake.

When Cornell took a vacation off his career, he was at home. He played video games with me and he even let me sing on one of his tracks in the little studio in the crib. Man I had the perfect life.

Shit when school came around I was fitted in the coldest gear. I even had a girlfriend for the first time in my life, her name was Carmen. She was lightskinned, long brown hair, hazel eyes, and the most beautiful smile ever.

She swear she loved the fuck out of me, but I think she just wanted to be with me, so she could go to my house and be around Cornell. Yeah she was using me, so I broke the bitch off real easy.

"Carmen I don't wanna be with your plastic bowl ass no more" I said to her in the hallway at school. " Plastic bowl?" she asked. "Yeah yo ass be using me all the time" I said. "No I don't baby I love you I wouldn't do that to you" she said with a sad voice. "Yes you do & you don't love me" I said then walked away from her. I could hear her crying and the whole day all I heard was "Why you break up with Carmen?" Lawd I couldn't wait to go home that day. That shit was to much and I was only in middle school.

When I got out of school everyday I seen a black SUV sitting outside and there was black guys in it watching me. I knew it had to be the gang sneaking up.

When I got home I never told Cornell anything although he always asked me how was school? Or what happened at school? My response was always nothing.

THE WEEKEND!!!!

Me, Grit, Tony, Mike, Nessy, Lee Lee, Shay and Stacy, Were outside talking and playing around by Mike's house. Mike was telling us about this new girl that moved next-door. " Man bro I was outside straight chillin' and this fine ass girl was out here talking to her mama" he said. " What fine ass girl?" I asked. "Bro let me finish" he said. "Girl had ass like a stripper and she a red bone." he continued. " There she go right there" he said happily.

I looked at her like she was some cookies and cream ice cream. Shit I think I drooled a little.
