SUGAR

Nine

Omniscient

Later that night..

Ant pulled up to his home and parked across the street. If this Stacks person was dropping bread like this without even buying Ant seen no other way but to comply with their ways of business. If it was money on the floor everything else was irrelevant for him. Ant was too smart of a man to let Kyra anywhere near his business. If shit ain't go the way Kyra wanted to she'll be the first one on the stand. Sugar was no Kyra though and every day spent with her that was becoming clearer to Ant.

Pulling out his phone he sent Sugar a text asking was Kyra up. Sugar was still in the same spot she was when he left- sitting on the couch now binge watching Power. It was already dark out and after making dinner both Kyra and Mira were in their bedroom and out for the night. Sugar seen the text already knowing it was Ant she told him that she was sleep and he responded telling her to come out ASAP and discreetly so Kyra wouldn't assume shit. But Ant needed to talk to her in private and now.

Sugar was confused. Ant was always on some weird shit with her and she didn't know how to feel about it. She knew better then to not come outside. Hell, she had just gotten her phone and was not going to take away those privileges. She knew it was wasn't right but at the same time the more she lived with Kyra the less she felt like a friend to her anymore. So it didn't real feel like boundaries were being overstepped. Especially being that Kyra had been overstepped hers. They were simply tolerating each other at this point.

Sugar turned up the tv up a little louder and slipped on her black Nike flip flops before tip toeing her way out the door giving the hallway one last look over. Whatever happened she knew Ant would dead it anyway. It was chilly outside but Sugar was in a rush to get in and out in case Kyra happened to wake up. Sugar walked across the street hugging her self since she wore no coat and only a spaghetti strapped tank top with her silk pajama pants.

Ant watched her walk up to the car as many scenarios played in his head that shouldn't of. Quickly shaking the thoughts from his head he opened the truck door for her as she hopped in.

Opening the door weed smoke escaped his truck. Looking her over once she shyly looked away from his stare as she got in the car. She couldn't help the throbbing sensation she felt between her legs because the smell of his weed and cologne turned her on including the way he looked her with those hooded eyes. They had never been this alone and this close to each other.

She decided to just blame it on the weed she decided to smoke that Ant had left. So she was currently high.

"What's up with you?" Ant spoke trying to make eye contact with her and as Sugar stared straight ahead.

"Mmcht, can we get to the point? I am not trying to fight Kyra tonight." Sugar stated seriously. Her palms were beginning to sweat. This man literally had her hot and bothered. "Can you roll down a window?"

Ant did as told laughing. "Aight, my bad shorty. We need to talk though forreal." Ant turned down the music that played. A million thoughts raced through Sugar head and she had finally made eye contact with him.

"I trust you Sugar, you different. I need you to meet one of my new business partners." Sugar knew he was not talking about no damn firm who the hell did he think she was? The plugs daughter?

"Nooo, no, no no." Sugar waved her hands shaking her head. "Send Kyra ass to jail! Why me?! I don't know nothing bout no damn weight."

"You get a cut. 60/40. You pocket that shit, start saving up." Ant slicked placed his hand on her thigh, Sugar quickly moved away.

"Ant this ain't -" Ant raised his hands in defense.

"It was the moment, I apologize. I just want you to know I got you. You ain't got to stay here forever but you ain't got shit and I can take care of you. This way you don't have to feel so dependent on me. I won't ever let shit happen to you and my word is bond." Sugar listened intently soaking in everything Ant had to say. Ant had a certain way of speaking that commanded attention and you knew him well enough you can tell he was true.

She did need her own money. She can save up to do things to with her brother, buy things for Mira, to finally leave for good. It wasn't like she wasn't completely new to weed and coke. Where she was from everybody and they mama did it and she picked up fast. This could change everything and she was basically at her lowest. She would never know unless she tried. It was now or never.

"What I got to do?"

Unbeknownst the two Kyra had woken up and had began looking for Sugar. Not knowing where she went she stumbled into a cell phone. Why would Kyra pass up such a thing? She knew it had to be Ant's so she decided to see what hoes he had been fucking on now. Only to discover this wasn't Anthony's phone at all.

Looking up hearing the door open after sitting there for thirty minutes she seen Sugar and Ant walk in. "Look who decides to stop fucking and come in." She spat and got up.

"Not tonight Kyra. I don't want your man! So he can knock my head off my shoulders too? You sound dumb and delusional." She saw her phone In Kyras hand.

"Well that's how you feel Sugar?" He faced her seeming hurt.

"Look. I'm tired okay? Can I have my phone." She snatched it away.

Ant sighed prepared to hear Kyra go off for finding the phone. "Oh and another thing Kyra, I didn't do this because I knew Bruce would handle me but since Ant here and I'm fucking him" She shrugged and back handed her so hard she flew to the floor. "I figured I'd do that." She kicked her in the stomach making her cough up blood.

Ant watched her scream out in pain while Sugar looked at him rolling her eyes and slamming his room door. "Aye. I need to get in my Safe." He stepped over Kyra who looked up confused. She wondered why he didn't do anything and why the hell he got her a phone. She was in too much pain at the moment though.

"Get in it tomorrow" Sugar yelled and Ant laughed to himself before deciding to leave her alone.
