Southside

Chapter 1

Melanie

I can't be fucked with....

I sang along to Meg the Stallion's Cash Shit as I put the finishing touches of my makeup on my face. I took one last look in the mirror before grabbing my purse and keys and heading out the door. I was meeting my big brother for lunch to discuss business.

Thirty minutes later I pulled up to our trap house. It was an abandoned building that my brother and I transformed into our headquarters. I entered the code and walked through security before walking up the steps towards the office.

I walked inside without knocking and almost threw up at the site before me. Some hood rat was on her knees giving my brother head. Her head shot up once the door opened and my brother began readjusting himself.

"Kianna if you don't get your dirty ass out of here before I shoot you. Your dumb ass is suppose to be working not in here sucking dick. Dirty hoe," I scowled as she scurried by me.

"Mane you need to knock before coming in here next time Mel," said Nasir.

"And you need to stop messing with these dirty hoes, you know Atlanta has the highest rate for cases of HIV," I responded back.

"Mane ain't nothing dirty bout me, you can go somewhere with that shit," he said.

"Man whatever you ready to go," I said. He nodded as he grabbed his phone and we walked out and headed towards my car.

We drove for a little bit until we reached Mama Mae's Soul Food Restaurant. We ordered our food and took a seat in the back were no one could hear us.

"I hear the Northside niggas are starting to come into our territory, and Santana notified me about them trying to make deals with the Columbians," I said.

"Mane I got that under control they know not to mess with us like that," Nasir responded.

"No fuck that if you would just let me end their life everything would be fine, you're being to nice Nasir and I don't want anything to happen to any of us. You are literally all I have left," I said raising my voice a little.

Our parents were murdered when we were younger which forced me and Nasir to live on the streets until Kane found us. Kane was a notorious kingpin and he taught us the ropes of the drug business. Now Nasir and I run all of Atlanta and most of the South. We also invested in several businesses to keep the feds off our backs.

"I get that Mel but nothing will happen, didn't I tell you that I always got you no matter what," he said.

I looked at him and could see he was serious. Nasir was my big brother but he was also my best friend and I would be finished if anything ever happened to him.

"We got a meeting tonight at Legacy, please come on your best behavior. You made us lose the Russian connects because of your attitude," said Nasir.

I rolled my eyes those men were weak and we didn't need weak links on our team.

"Whatever they were weak and you know that," I responded back.

Nasir laughed as we finished our food.

After leaving the restaurant we drove to Kane's mansion in Roswell.

We parked and entered the code before walking inside. I rolled my eyes when I noticed Jordan's lame ass sitting in the living room watching tv.

"Where's Kane?" I asked completely ignoring him.

"You can't speak?"

"Not to no lame ass thug wannabe," I retorted back

Jordan swore up and down he wasn't jealous we got the business over him but I knew better. Kane gave him his old strip club to run and from the looks of it his business was falling apart. Plus he had several complaints of sexual assault against him from the old strippers. He was creepy and he had a crush on me even though we grew up as brother and sister.

"What brings y'all by?" he asked Nasir.

"None of your damn business don't you have some cases to sort out," I said as we made our way upstairs.

"Fuck you Dutchess," he said

"In your dreams bum ass nigga," I said as we entered Kane's room.

'My favorite children.. what brings y'all by," he said as we walked in.

"Hey dad," I said as I gave him a hug.

"Wassup pops," said Nasir as he poured himself some Henny.

"We stopped by cause I wanted to discuss this issue we are running into with those niggas on the North side," said Nasir

"Yeah they got niggas robbing our boys and Santana tells us they have been trying to charge the Colombians less for their cocaine than we are," I said.

"We really should just kill their ass cause I'm sick of their bullshit," I said looking at Nasir.

"Nah it's no need for that we'll figure it out," said Nasir.

"Nah baby girl got a point. You know I still got some connects if they get out of hand," said Kane.

"We're good... I'll put two boys on each corner and arm them while they're out. And I'll up security on their streets," said Nasir

I rolled my eyes he was being too damn cautious . He should just let me get my hands on them and boom problem gone.

"Well let me know if you need anything," said Kane.

"For sure we're bout to head out," said Nasir.

We were now driving to Nasir's place, and I was ready to go home and get ready for this meeting.

"Mel you know you need to stop being so hard on Jordan he's our brother," said Nasir

I rolled my eyes. "Fuck him he's grimy and he's a snake plus he's no family of mine. Only you, Coco, and Kane are my family and that's it."

Jordan was super grimy and I didn't trust him at all and I wish Nasir felt that way too.

I dropped him off at his house and made my way home.

Once I got to my condo I slipped my heels off and wiped my make up off before washing my face and tying my hair up. I changed into some boy shorts and a white crop halter top and took a seat on my king size bed. My shi tzu Queen came and laid next to me.

I looked down at my phone as an incoming call from Tariq Woods the point guard for the Atlanta Hawks came through.

I answered the call

"Yo ma wassup with you," he answered in this deep Atlanta voice.

"Nothing what you want," I said

He licked his lips slowly before responding "I'm finna slide through,"

I smiled as he hung up the phone. Tariq and I use to date in high school and he cheated on me with this girl. It's been five years since then and yeah we still fuck around but he's not my man. He's just my main source of dick. I don't date these niggas or trust these niggas for anything, I use them how they use us. Plus they can't provide nothing for me but dick and money.

Fifteen minutes later there was a knock on my door I smiled as I opened the door.

"I have three hours til I gotta leave," I said to him as he picked me up and kissed my neck.

"Shit that's all the time I need," he said as he began massaging me through my shorts.

He kissed me passionately as he carried me back to my room.
