Thugs can love (Completed)

Chapter 6

Britt POV

Something was up with Xavier. He's gone all the time now. I don't know it's starting to worry me. This little fucker known as doubt started creeping up on me. Got me thinking that maybe Xavier is on the low. Lord please do not let that be the reason. I love his ass too damn much for this. But more importantly, I love myself too much to be played for the fool.

I was sitting in Xavier's apartment, more like ours since I'm always here and most of everything I own is here, watching TV. My phone started ringing and it was Trina. "What's up?"

"Hey, you wanna hang today? I wanted to go to the movies or something."

"Not really in the mood today."

"Oh come on! Please? I'm tired of being in the house."

I ain't gon lie that agitated the hell out of me. I just said I'm not in the mood to go out, the least you could do is check that I'm good or at least shut the hell up about it. "I'm sorry Trina I'm just not into it tonight."

"Yeah okay." She hung up. Rude ass. I took her out just about everyday she's been back and the one night I wanna stay in she throws a bitch fit? I don't have time for the fuckery today.

My phone rang again. This time it was Toya. "Hey hoe," I answered.

"What's up squally?"

"Your mother."

"Probably. Whatchu got planned for tonight?"

"I'm staying in or whatever. Not really feeling it."

"What's wrong?" I told her how Xavier's been acting and my doubts and fears about what he's doing. "Girl Xavier loves your ass. You two have been riding since freshmen year. Yeah he fucked up in the past and shit but he learned from his mistakes boo. He know his rider got limits and he knows you're more important than any of these chicken head squallies okay?"

"I love you so much Toya. You're really my girl for real."

"You've been there for me, it's only right I be there for you. Loyalty is so scarce these days it's a shame."

"I know right. How's the job thing going?"

"I just put in an application in to Walmart. My hours might be all the way fucked up but I need a new job. The off season is already in full swing and my hours are starting to get cut. I need this job."

"I swear you're a better parent than most. The way some of these girls and boys are coming up now, Shad is just a little angel. You teach him better than some of these kids' father."

"I have to. There is nothing left for him down here and he does not need to be playing with his education or anything else for that matter."

"So what's up with Malik?"

"He still doesn't talk about his parents but I know some shit is going down in that house. He stays with us all the time now. It's not like they notice."

"Right. You're so nice but you act so bitchy. Especially to Rashid like what's up with that?"

"I don't have time for the fuckery that comes with Rashid. He's a man-hoe. Let him fuck with his hoes, I'm not one of them." Yeah right, her ass. She been so in love with him, you can't turn chemistry like that off. "Anyways, moving on. I met someone at the mall."

"Wait what? Who?" Hold up, pause, rewind, fast -forward, and hit play. The fuck this bitch just say? We been trying to get her to go with Rashid for how long? And now this bitch gon up and meet somebody?

"Okay you know how them instagram bitches been talking out the side of their neck right? Well I bumped into one of my instagram followers. This dude looks just like Bow Wow no lie. We been chillin and ole boy name is Deon or whatever."

"That name sounds familiar." I tried remembering where I heard that name from. "I thought you said you don't mess with dudes in the country."

"He's in Summerville. Country niggas can suck ass."

"Excuse me?"

"What? Fuck Xavier too. His ole bitch ass."  

Xavier POV

Third night in a row. Man I need to slow down with this shit. If Britt finds out she'll shit bricks. I got home late, like three in the morning. Britt doesn't go home so I know she's here. I went into the bathroom first to get myself together. I stepped out and Britt was in the kitchen getting something to drink. "Hey babe," I went to hug her but she swerved me. "Aye what the fuck? What's wrong with you?"

"I know you ain't just asked me that. This is the third damn night your ass come home late. You don't ever work the streets that damn late so what the fuck do you be doing?"

"Man Britt, I ain't got time for this."

"Oh you got time to tun around doing god knows what until three in the morning but you can't be real with me? The fuck are you doing Xavier?" I really didn't want to hear this right now. "I find out you cheating on me Xavier I'm fucking done and that's real." She went into the spare room. Man this shit is getting hard. Man I can't believe I'm keeping secrets from my future wife again. 

"I need to stop this," I sighed. This secret life I got ain't worth my wife. But how can I stop what I'm doing?

Trina POV

I think it's time for me to fall way back from Britt and Toya. They're obviously not real anymore if they ever were. Whenever I want to hang their too busy or not in the mood but when they want to go out they don't hesitate in dipping out. 

That's fine, fuck them too. I can find new friends. This girl Shalandria been telling me about Toya. She has a quick draw mouth and even quicker hands. I know I won't be able to beat her in a fight if it ever comes down to that. This is why I have to move in silence. Make sure my moves are precise.

"So how's it with Deon?" Britt and Toya were at my house. We're in a study group together.

"Who's Deon?" See? They have secrets and shit that I don't know anything about.

"Toya's bae."

"Fuck up," Toya put her sandwich down next to Britt's. "He's not bae he's a friend. And nosy, everything is fine. Great actually. He's a pretty cool person." She picked up a sandwich.

"Toya!" Britt screamed scaring the hell out of me. "That's my sandwich!"

"Oh shit!" she put the sandwich back.

"Don't like peanut butter?" I asked. What's the big deal?

"I'm highly allergic to peanut butter. Even just the littliest bit on my skin makes me break out in hives."

"You need to start paying attention to what you eat. If I didn't say anything, hello MUSC."

"Yeah yeah. You shouldn't have your sandwich so close to mine." They kept talking and talking about unimportant stuff. I listened and picked out information I could possibly use later. These hoes are so dumb. I'll either fight my way to the top, or knock a few bitches down. I will not be bypassed any longer. Rashid will be mine and I will be that bitch that finally knocks Toya out the picture.
