Dangerous Game

Chapter 20: Meet Lola

                              Lola POV

I was chilling in my condo watching a Nicki Minaj Smack DVD. Everyone says I look like her but I don't see it. I was all natural and I was cuter. I started working wit Domino when I was 16 after my father killed my mother than himself. That day changed my life forever.

I was born in Tunapuna Trinidad right outside of Port of Spain. I lived there until I was thirteen than my parents moved us to Yonkers.

My father started hustling with some Jamaican niggaz out there. My dad started off just sniffing coke here an there than it turned into a few lines everyday. That turned into him smoking crack.

One night in one of his fits cause he had no more drugs he broke into our house trying to rob us waking my mother.

When she called out to him he shot her in the head. I guess once he realized what he did he killed himself.

I had no one here to take care of me because all of my family was back in Trinidad.

I started nickel an diming until I met Domino. I had a temper that I couldn't control. After beating a boy damn near to death for shorting a pack Domino made me his hitter.

He got me a fly ass condo and put me in school. He had this bitch name Jessica come to the house whenever the social worker came to make it look like she was taking care of me.

I finished school and keep on working. I was now 24 and I had a fat bank account. I worked at Sheba's art gallery sometimes because I was an artist. She actually sold a few of my paintings, but the streets was where my heart was.

My phone was ringing so I picked up not seeing who was calling.

"Yeah." I said catching up on love and hip hop New York. I couldn't stand that damn Remy Ma.

"That's how you answer your phone." Jessica said.

We had built sort of a bond over the years. She called me three times a week like she was my mother.

"Hey Jess." I said.

"Are you coming over for dinner? Alicia is in town." She said.

I didn't care for Alicia cause she was a stuck up little bitch. Alicia was Jessica's stepdaughter. She always made me play nice with her.

"I'm really not in the mood for her today Jess. Maybe I will stop by an say hey to you, but I'm not staying long." I told her.

See Jess didn't know Alicia was fucking wit G-Money. Just like Jessica's husband Barry didn't know Jess was still fucking Domino from time to time.

"It's just dinner Lo. Plus you can meet her boyfriend finally." She said.

That made me sit up. She had just sparked my curiosity.

"I will be there at five ok." I said.

"Good. I miss you Lo. I barely get to see you as it is an I hope you plan on taking on art fulltime an leave the streets alone finally." She said.

"Love you see you later." I said hanging up before she could give me one of her lectures about leaving the game.

She doesn't understand. I didn't choose this life, this life chose me. I just welcomed it with open arms.

Domino is like a father to me. He has taking care of me, so I pledge my life to him til my last breathe.

It was four o' clock so I decided to get ready for an interesting dinner.
