Brittany Hills Chronicles: Act 3

Masai 31

I hated losing, I hated losing when it wasn't my fault even more, and I especially hated losing when money was involved but the writing was on the wall and there was no way we could come back from twelve down with nine seconds left. We were playing two on two and I forgot how trash Lennox was in basketball, how I let this nigga convince me to play two on two against Lil Quez and Fredo I have no idea but I hoped he realized that he was paying them, niggas, because at the moment my money was kinda low..... okay I'm lying but I still wasn't paying them niggas. Once the game was over we moved to the backyard where Jace was out there with his little sidekick Knox, I was actually kinda nervous because I knew my boys were notorious homophobes but then I remembered how badly it turned out for them the last time they tried Jace and to me it seemed like they were almost afraid of him. I looked over at Lennox who was drenched in sweat before quickly diverting my eyes, if the dream I had last night was any indication the last thing I needed was to stare at him too long, hell I was still cleaning up the aftermath of that dream to the point where I was just going to have to buy new sheets.

"Whatever happened with that situation with that nigga Duron?" I asked, sure my boys were some idiots, and yeah they were talking shyt about me, but we all did it I talked shyt about them niggas all the time so I couldn't be too pissed when they did the same plus I knew they'd shoot someone if I asked them and I would do the same for them.

"That bitch ass nigga went to my mom and snitched, now we gotta worked for that nigga to pay off our debt, I'm seriously considering just taking that charge because I can do a couple of months easy but being someone's personal slave just doesn't sit well with me." Lil Quez said and I shook my head because he talked tough but I knew he wouldn't last in jail.

"I know his brother and he seems pretty cool, Duron probably won't have y'all doing anything too crazy. Maybe this will teach y'all to stop breaking into people's houses. Now on to more important topics, what's the move for this weekend? I'm trying to go out and do something crazy, it's been a while since I turned up and this is the first time in a while I haven't been in trouble which means I can go out this weekend." I said needing to get out of the house for the weekend.

"We were actually just talking about going to Dayton for the weekend." Fredo said and I felt a cold sweat forming on the back of my neck. I glanced over at Lennox who was texting on his phone and I wondered to myself if he was texting that nigga Levi or whatever... but then I realized I really shouldn't care. "Lennox you wanna come?" Fredo asked.

"Yeah, my boy actually lives in Dayton and he knows all the spots to hit up." Lennox said and I could tell he was trying not to look at me, I know I told him that I didn't want to have the feelings that I had for him but I also didn't want that nigga to act like I was invisible.

"We'll talk some more tomorrow, I gotta go see what this nigga Duron wants." Lil Quez said getting up and I could tell he was pissed but it's his own damn fault. Once they were gone I was sitting there with Lennox who was staring at his phone, I wait about five minutes and he still hadn't looked up and I was getting annoyed.

"So.... you just going to sit there and ignore me?" I asked, Lennox, dropped his phone and looked at me.

"Nah, I'm not ignoring you Masai you're my nigga and so I treat you like I treat all my niggas.... if you're not talking about anything I deem important then more likely than not I'm just going to keep quiet." Lennox said, see this nigga wanna be on some bitter shyt. "Masai, you're my bro and I'm respecting your wishes of not flirting with you and now you're mad because I'm not really saying anything."

"Nigga you know how to talk to me without flirting don't even try that bullshyt excuse." I said waving him off.

"Nah... I really don't I've been dropping hints and flirting with you since the day you got out, hell even before that and you never really noticed it because you're slow. Let me find a way to balance out how I'm going to talk to you because I can't talk to you like I talk to Lil Quez, Fredo, and Man Man but I can't talk to you the way that I talk to Levi I gotta find the perfect medium so that I don't make you uncomfortable." Lennox said looking at me.

"Lennox I'm sure if you wanted you would find a way to do that IF you really wanted, my question is do you really want to stop?" I asked looking at him.

"Nah Sai' the real question is do you want me to stop? Nigga I'm not stupid, you know green is my favorite color and you decided to wear green today knowing that I was coming over here, then it's your line of questioning.... It's almost like you want me to flirt with you, or more. Why are you fighting the feelings that we both know are there?" Lennox asked and I couldn't think of anything to say, thankfully we both got distracted by the sound of Knox letting out a squeak. We looked over at him and followed his eyes to the doors where, Ronnie, Antwan, Black, and Percy all walked out.

"I'm going to go.... you need to think long and hard about what you really want Masai, don't toy emotions and more importantly don't play with my heart. You know what you feel for me Masai just be honest with yourself." Lennox said getting up and walking off.

"I read lips....." Jace said walking over to me and I looked at him confused. "Don't worry sis, I won't say anything about you and Trade but I would like to offer you some advice, Trade really loves you and you love him.... don't lose that because you're afraid of what other people think." Jace said walking away and it was really hard to take him seriously when he was lips were so damn shiny from all the lip gloss he was wearing.

"Wassup man." Percy said walking over to me and taking the seat that Lennox had just left. "Ayy a couple of my teammates like the job you did on my line-up and they were wondering if you wanted to come down to Cincinnati this weekend and do theirs, we got team pics coming up next week and they wanna look good.... they're paying." Percy said and I looked over at Black who shrugged.

"Uhh, actually I was planning on going with my boys to Dayton this weekend." I said and now I was conflicted because one side of me was all for making money while the other side needed to get the fuck away from this house.

"How about this why don't y'all come to Cincinnati instead? I've been to Dayton and I can promise you there's nothing fun to do there, whereas on campus I guarantee there will be at least five to ten parties this weekend plus my cousin can get y'all a discount on a nice ass hotel room." Percy said. "Look I'll sweeten the deal, I'll even get you your own room so you don't have to share with your boys."

"Nigga why are you pushing so damn hard?" I asked looking at his goofy looking ass.

"Because I kinda promised them that you'd do it...." Percy said and I got super fuckin heated because I didn't like that shyt and just as I was about to go off on his ass, Percy started laughing. "Bro I'm just playing, calm down the reason I'm pushing so hard is because you need practice and I'm trying to put some money in your pockets. I'm not going to pressure you into it but please just think about it... call your boys and see what they wanna do, now if you'll excuse me I gotta bust these niggas ass in basketball right quick." Percy said standing up and taking off his shirt.

"Messy let me talk to you real quick." Jace said and I swear I don't know how he changed so fast but now he was wearing some little ass shorts with the word PINK written across his ass. "Now look my sweet Tay said that once a year I could get a top pass, since he's adamant that he's a top and I have needs.... anyways I'm telling you now Trade is cute and all but if you don't fuck with Percy I will because bae-bee.... he is fine as fuck and I want to clap his cheeks to smithereens." Jace said..... I pushed him in the pool, I know I'd probably never hear the end of it but he was talking to damn much and I needed to think.

I walked up to my bedroom and laid across my bed trying to figure out what I wanted to do; we could go to Dayton but I really didn't want to see that nigga Levi, or rather I didn't want Lennox seeing him. Don't ask me why because I really don't know why I was so determined to keep them apart, however, I knew if I asked my boys to come to Cincinnati with me Fredo, Lil Quez and Man Man would be all for Lennox however wouldn't because for some strange reason he didn't like Percy. You know what fuck it, I needed to make some money and Lennox was just going to have to suck it up for a couple of days.

"Ayy change of plans for this weekend, we're going to Cincinnati the thing is.... you can't tell Lennox until we're already on our way down there." I said to Lil Quez and he seemed really hyped about going while me, I prepared myself for a long ass weekend with Lennox in one of his moods...........................
