Money. Power. Love.

( Yazmeen Price )

It was quiet before I could give him a response. It was alot to take in. I heard his conversation with Kay and I knew everything he was saying was sincere.

"You want to marry me?" I asked, shocked that he said that.

"Yes mama, I do. I really do, and if you let me I promise to show you why I want to every single day. I didn't mean to hurt you, I am so so sorry Yazmeen. That was not how I was trying to start things off with you." He was sorry, I could definitely tell.

I cracked a smile, and his face lit up at the fact I smiled. "You're so beautiful." He gazed at me. Wow he still felt I was beautiful even when I have been crying. 

I hope you checked her for calling me out my name." I said making him laugh. "Of course I did, I wasn't just gonna let her disrespect my shorty like that." He assured me while rubbing my cheek. "Lasso told me about her, I just wish you would have brought her up to me before, and that I didn't have to find out like that. I would have answered the phone differently. Like umm no bitch who are you calling my mans phone?" I teased making him laugh. He started to blush, "Im yo man?" He asked smiling wide as hell. I laughed at the fact that's the only part he heard.

"Mmm sum like that, you gon have to prove I'm who you want though, and that Maci situation needs to be dead like yesterday." I demanded. "It's dead I promise, I blocked her and everything and told her we wasn't gon be on no money shit anymore. I was gonna do all that before you anyway, but now you just gave me a reason to do it sooner." He assured and I felt better knowing he had no problems cutting her off, regardless of how much money she helped him make. "Ughh I don't like when we fight already." I said laying against him as we swayed in the swing. 

"You?! Girl you had me hurt, telling Kay everything and shit. You really had a nigga thinking you was done. I don't be in my feelings shorty, you had a nigga sounding real hurt." He teased making me laugh. "Whatever, at least you cared." I looked at him, taking the joking look out of my eyes. "I cared the moment I seen you, forreal. I'm really tryna know everything about you. What you like, what you don't like, why you look down at your hands when you are too nervous to look at me in my eyes." He said while I was literally looking down at my hands. I was weakened by his observation, no one has ever noticed that I do that. "You mean that?" I asked him, turning my head towards his pretty light brown eyes. "I mean that, forreal. You can ask your brothers, I been cool off bitches for a while now. But you, I don't know. It's almost impossible for me to act like I don't wanna have something with you. But learning you sounds intriguing and I wanna know everything about you like I said, no cap." He gazed at my lips and slowly licked his.

Damnit.

He knows how fine he is and he knows exactly what to do to make me--

He grabbed my face and kissed me. Ugh. The fact that we aren't anywhere near dating but our kisses are that passionate already? I can't give him the cat yet. It's a dead trap. I gotta take this slow, see what this nigga about.

"Aye Shady we gotta bounce out. Sis you gotta get up out of here and go home now, you and Hazel." Lasso said interrupting my almost cute moment with Shady.

There was a pause as I waited for Lasso and Jaye to tell me what this scene was about but it seemed as if an explanation isn't even on the table right now. 

"I mean it now let's go. We already put yall bags in the car." Jaye said grabbing my arm and separating me from Shady. "Ima call you later shorty, I promise." He said letting go of my hand after placing a gentle kiss on it. I guess I'll leave on that note, it must be business.

"Alright I love yall get home safely alright?" Kay said closing my door and sending me and Hazel off. All I know is that if Lasso don't come home with some juicy story then this shit wasn't even worth it.

"They came in on yo ass like SWAT too or what?" Hazel asked me sounding irritated. I laughed at how we were both thinking the same thing. "Bitch like there was a bomb on my back or something like wtf is this shit? Me and Shady were in the middle of sum and they just had to come and ruin it." I said putting my head against the window as we drove back to the house." 

Hazel looked at me with the biggest smirk on her face. "No we didn't have sex bitch." I said making us both laugh. "I was finna say bitch jumpin on the dick already okaayyy you tryna get a boyfriend." She teased and I couldn't help but laugh. We was always laughing, I know if I don't have anybody I always have haze. "Girl fuck them we finna go home, smoke this weed and have ourselves a good ass time forreal. Since they wanna end our weekend and shit." She said turning the music up as we cruised home. 

( Shady ) 

"Wtf is going on and this shit better be good cause I was in the middle of sum." I spoke up at the table. "What? Tonguing down my sister? Nigga that shit can wait." Jaye said and we all laughed. I couldn't say nothing cause it was true, I was all up in his sister mouth. 

"Symen little brother just showed up here a couple minutes ago asking if we seen his brother? Obviously it was a stunt to tell us he know where we be at. He not dumb to make a scene in this neighborhood so he showed his face. Problem is, he is a loose end. I'm not too fond of loose ends." Kay said passing out papers of the picture of Symen's brother and his friends. "I didn't even know that nigga had a brother or else we would've took care of him Kay you know that." Lasso said speaking for all of us. He never brought his brother around, so we never knew that he had one. 

"So we doing this tonight or what?" I said putting my glock in my waist. "Damn nigga slow down we gotta see where he be at first. We can't just go slide on a nigga we don't know nun about?" Jaye said. "Qwuan, Jurrell, Pilot.." I started to name niggas we slid on who we didn't even know, it was just business. "Okay you got a point but how we know we not tryna do the same thing to us. You think he know about his brother and who did it?" Lasso asked Kay. "There's no telling what he knows, but yall need to find out and handle this before it fucks with my money." Kay told us and we got up from the table and left to pack up and head out.

I was lowkey bummed out that the weekend had to be cut short cause I was enjoying it away from the streets for a minute, with Yaz. I can't wait to call her and explain all this shit. Ain't no tellin what she think of a nigga right now. 

"Alright yall call me when it's done. And see what's the word about the Party, we had fun I wanna do another one but charge muthafuckas this time." Kay joked handing us some money before we left. "If yall need it." He added. We dapped him up and headed out. 

"Alright love yall, be careful and watch yall back." He said sending us out the driveway.

"Always pop you know what it is, we love you too foo." Jaye said out the window and we left.

"Aye what if we send one of the girls to kick it with Symen brother and see what he on?" Lasso asked. "I fuck with it that's a plot, but who is gonna go?" Jaye asked him. "Not yaz, that's off limits." Lasso said. "Hella off limits." I added. "Yall niggas dumb? Of course not my sister. I meant one of the hoes to go, not on no money shit though just to scope niggas out see what they talkin bout." Jaye looked back at me to see what I thought of his plan. 

"It could go right but it could go left too. We don't know how loyal them bitches are, what if them niggas scare em a bit they gon start singing like they in a choir." I added and Lasso nodded in agreement. "That's true, they could switch up and blow up the whole shit." "Alright what if we send Maci?" Jaye asked. "Fuck no I'm not contacting that bitch she just fucked shit up with me and yo sister and I barely fixed that shit. Ain't no way I'm jeopardizing that shit again." I argued.

"Nigga she the only one that wouldn't talk. We gon cover you with our sister folk but this the best plan unless you got another one." Jaye looked back at me.

"I do actually, just go slide on cuh. Don't send no bitch we just take care of the shit ourselves problem solved." I said loading one in the chamber. 

"Calm down sergeant we needa be smarter than these niggas and that's probably exactly what they plan on us doing so imagine how they prepared for that." 

I looked at Jaye and gave it a good thought before giving in. I hope this don't fuck shit up with me and yaz cause I'm really not tryna do that. 

I took out my phone and called Maci after unblocking her. Here we fucking go cuh.
