Uncle ray pov
Heading on our way to baby girl hoping well more like praying that this goes well. I made sure I was apart of her life and her father didn't want her to know this side of him, so he kept her away from this life. You can't be a family man and a drug lord but he tried any way. My brother tay was a great father he was just terrible at choosing women Rachael Chris mom was fine asf just not mother potential. Don't get me started on lin she was the worst , one of the biggest reasons he was killed . I want to kill her with my bare hands but she's the only thing keeping le and Trent from going to the system. So she's safe until le turns 18. We pull up to a school wondering why the hell are we here? I see trey get out and Trent running up to hug him like he's his favorite person in the world. He ran to Chris and gave him a big ass hug also I'm waiting on mine but he just turned and looked at me. Chris was about to say something but trent dapped me up yelling uncle ray ray. Yes they call me ray ray only my babies. They were all surprised that he knew me like I was going to stay out there lives just because they dad kept this drug shit a secret. I just didn't feel the need to fill the streets in on my personal life or fill my personal life on what going on with the streets. I still don't and I won't my brother died wanting this secret to stay a secret and I refuse to be the one to tell it. "Aye guys turn the radio down" Trent ran to get his bag off the steps. "my brother didn't want his baby girl in this street shit he Didn't want you Chris but your moms forced you in it so I think we should just tell her that your her brother and how I'm in the game but not him" everyone understood but Chris 🙄 "I don't know about y'all but I don't lie to family and I can't start now. I'm not going to deliberately tell her but if she ask I will tell" I looked at him like he lost his mind but I had to remember who raised him. That nigga legacy made sure he believed in something and whatever he believed in he stood by it and fought for it. For Chris it's family so I just told him I agree. As if he thought I was going to fuck him up for challenging me he let out a breath I guess he was holding in with a look of surprise smiling. Trent was now back in the car sitting between trey and Chris I leaned up and whispered in Chris ear making him jump " dont every challenge me again do you understand me" he nodded as I sat back and enjoyed the ride.
Le pov
I just jumped out the shower Throwing on a comfortable outfit
I started cooking some baked chicken, rice, corn, and some sweet rolls. As I was finishing up there was a knock on the room door. Knowing it's trey with Trent I peeped through the hole verifying my assumptions opening the door walking away. I heard more than just the two of them prepared to curse trey out because he's the only one that knows I've been in a room for a few days. He held his hands up already knowing what's about to happen pointing toward the door. I seen my uncle ray ray instantly my mood change I ran and hugged him, seeing him brought tears to my eyes not only because he and my dad were twins so it's like looking at my daddy right now but I seriously missed him. Not wanting to let go he just rubbed my head and hugged me just as tight. After our little moments I noticed Chris and Sean standing there waiting so I gave them hugs also. I asked them were the hungry and of course they were everyone ran to the bathroom except Chris. He gave me this unreadable look I asked him what's wrong and he asked
Chris- " why are you in this hotel why didn't you call me you know I got you?"
I smiled and told him to slow down this isn't anything new my mother would have these fazes where she didn't want to be a mother to Trent. So I would leave for a week or two depending on the situation and it's like a reset for her because it's like she's back to normal well her normal.Chris- "How are you paying for this I know this room not Cheap and you don't have a job".
I just laughed at his concerns and told him "my dad had set up a savings account for me so I have more than enough money for a room". My dad has 10 thousand going to my account every month that my mom doesn't know about and every year on my birthday uncle ray gives me some unnecessarily expensive gift and about 20 thousand. After I brought my car I just save the rest I don't know when my dad money will run out so I refuse to blow the money. I don't want to live above my means and long as Trenton's straight I'm happy.Chris-"You and Trenton have the same dad? Why didn't pop.. I mean your dad set Trent up the same way?"
I just told him "to calm down he did and yes we have the same mom and dad" only me and Trent has access to trents account but Trent doesn't know about either one and I'll like to keep it like that. Atleast until he's old enough to understand how serious it is to keep it a secret.
Chris- " I have to tell you something le I can't keep this a secret any longer I know ray wanted to tell you but he's taking to long I'm your br..."Everyone came running in interrupting Chris looking for plates. They just started to wash their hands at the kitchen sink and they made there plates. We were all in the living room area eating, it wasn't no noise beside smacking and forks hitting the plates we didn't even have the tv on. After everyone was done I collected all plates taking them into the kitchen I sent Trent to take a shower. Sitting back down everyone had this weird looks on there faces so I cut straight to the point and asked "wassup why y'all looking like that... either speak or get out"getting annoyed getting ready to get up uncle ray spoke " just like your damn father Chris she might have you beat listen baby girl Chris is your brother". I just laughed and continued to get up and head towards the door. Uncle ray walked up to me and looked me in my eyes "baby girl have I ever lied to you? One thing I don't do is lie and break promises. Knowing he was serious I held my pinky out even tho that was two things he listed , he wrapped his pink around mine. We never broke eye contact not once. Uncle ray may be a lot of things but he understands me and knows me almost as well as my father. I looked over at Chris and walked to him and gave him a big ass hug. I know how he is about family he's one of the reasons gang is so tight now. I asked him was he in the drug game my uncle was in everyone froze like I said the wrong thing. Pulling out the hug I looked him in the eye asking him again praying he won't lie to me. With no hesitation he answered "yes we all are" shocked i looked at Sean and jay they just nodded. Jay punched Chris in the arm and they started slap boxing. Uncle ray started telling me how he didn't want me to find out like this I just laughed he straight faced me like what's funny . I just said "I'm sorry but you really thought I didn't know you was in the game? I don't know how deep but uncle it's not a secret they shocked me especially jay but you of course not. You always have top flight security everywhere you go you never worked but your a billionaire should I continue? We continued small talk until Trent came back dressed from his shower. I let Chris tell Trent that he was his big brother Trent was happy about it but he already looked at Chris and jay as a brother. It was almost time for his practice so I was about to head out to take him when Chris stoped me and said ride with them it's more that I need to know. We all went to the car prepared to take uncle ray ray to work and Trent to practice. I never knew where he worked but I'm really excited i might try to get a job there he makes a lot. We just dropped Trent off so now we're on our way to uncle ray job. After a good 30 minute drive We pull up to this warehouse and got out. I look around confused waiting on some one to talk no one did so I stayed quiet taking in my surroundings. There was a guy at the door with a big ass gun "sup boss" uncle ray just nodded. I followed him through the warehouse it looked like a fedex / car lot in here. There were girls loading bags and bottles into boxes there were a few guys walking around watching them. I see some girls and guys by the old expensive looking cars putting bags into the panels of the car. Realizing what they were doing it finally clicked this is a drug business. Surprised about what is going on I grabbed my uncle sleeve a little which caused all of us to stop.
Le-"are you a drug dealer"
They all laughed and I sat back wondering what's funny I thought it was a great question.chris stopped laughing first:
"Drug dealer more like king pin of one of the biggest territories on the east cost"
Trey-"more like drug lord"
I was shocked and then it hit me "your legacy aren't you?" I noticed everyone kind of tense up and Chris walk off, reminding myself to talk to him later I waited for my response. " y'all was just hehe and haha with all that loud talking a second ago but now y'all want to be quiet. Is that a yes or no?" Uncle ray spoke up "naw baby girl that ain't me he died some years ago. Come on let's get to this office and talk away from all these ears"
Nodding understanding I began to follow him again. We walked inside this nicely decorated office. It was red and black with a all black sectional with red pillows and a throw blanket in the center of the room like a circle a glass table in between them, a desk in the far back a pool table and pictures of old rappers on the wall. This had to be uncle ray he loved red and black, not wanting to waste time I walked to the clinch and sat down "now let's talk" I said. No one responded just looked at each other and all sat down.What do you think they'll talk about?🤔🤔
