Banking on Billion

Jabriel's POV

I dripped in sweat as my fist pounded at the punching bag, with each hit came relief. It had been 3 full days since Asi hit me up from Monica's phone I didn't know what to think honestly.Truth be told , I knew I was caught, but I also knew I'd been caught many times before so Asi would be right back. I wasn't even going to stress it and blow up her phone, I knew her. Monica on the other hand I was scared. I know...backwards right? Asi was my main priority, without a doubt but the confidence I felt knowing that; not only was my position secure but hers was too, so why trip? Some would call it cocky but It's mutual fasho so I don't worry. Monica though? She would be done so easily, I really hope she don't find out...or that she hasn't I should say.
She never showed up last night.. last I heard she was stopping to grab a condom and me a swisher. Next thing I know I'm getting a call from HER number, with ASI on the line. My mind has been blown since . Monica had been asking me for a title for so long and I swore to her I was single...just not ready. I used our age a lot as a factor. I let her just say I was a "lil boy" and stroked her ego, whispering her sweet nothings. Assuring her that she was just too much woman for me currently. I used an insecurity of her own to boost her head because let her tell it, She "KNEW" I was fucking with some young cat...and although I was , I couldn't let her know that.
"Whew you going crazy man what's with it??" Rod said punching my arm then bringing his fist to his mouth "sheeeesh" he said chuckling . "Letting some steam go Rod, ya boy been stressing! Ahhhh. Smoke some?" I said as I caught footing and grabbed my towel wiping the sweat beads from my forehead . "Shidddd I came to ask you the same! Know it's good with me let's shoot a few then head to the spot...you heard from moni?" He asked . See "Moni" was Monica, which is also Rods older step sister. He put me on her one night , I ended up drunk wanting some quick and I fell in her waters. Shits been wild since. See Monica wasn't even really attractive, and honestly...she was a controlled nagger, she was an accessible nut and she didn't argue. She thought what she thought, said what she said...and once her mind was made up nobody could tell her different. Definitely a know it all but I was so nonchalant because I knew I was a dog so her telling me about myself? It went in one ear and bounced right off the wall . What keeps me intrigued though is the fact she come asking nothing but "what you need? Have you ate? What's on your mind" I mean she just was always making sure a nigga straight regardless of how she feel. She may say "I know you fucking with these young bitches, I smell it on you" but in the next breath "how you been JB?" and I fucked with that.
           "Uh nah...actually I been tryna see what's up with her.. apparently her and Asi done met unintentionally mane" he threw his head back in laughter. Immediately I tensed up. I wasn't Ammused,  "Wow, This dumb ass dude done got caught up" *mmch* he sucked his teeth. "Now how in the hell Asi meet Monica from alllllll the way over there" he said as if  we weren't all right in Georgia, "Man ion know all I know is , one minute moni tell me she onna way to give me a gift and you know, put the pussy on me next thing I know she calling so I answer , maneeeee why it's Asi calling me up from Monica phone? So that's what I'm sayinggggg! I know I'm caught on Asi end but shit...she'll be back. but mane moni was bringing me my Patek I picked out on HER birthday and some pussy! Just spoiling a nigga! I'm stressing cause where she been?! shiddd where she at?!?" I said now laughing as I picked up a basketball ball from the ball cart.
"Damnnnnnn yea you done fucked up. On baby, Listen to how I know you done fucked up...I stayed over at my Parents a few days ago. Right? Well, Moni woke me up screaming, busting through the front door talking about 'nigga get yo raggedy ass feet off moms shit'. I'm mad as fuck some lame ass broad done stole my fucking phone!" I left it on the counter at the gas station bro but for maybe one second! I come back in, a bitch done swiped me! I'm already knowing who it was too tho. This ho looked too familiar for me! I done see her face come across Jb phone one too many times. Then he claim it's his sister, so I already know this is work of his insecurities. He done got her to grab my shit ..he only suspicious cause he on some shit !!" She was screaming it cockily too , little did she know that was the complete opposite of why her phone was missing...dummy!" He said playfully smacking the back of my head being the ball from me shooting it . "Mannnnnnnnnneeeee THANK GOD!" I shouted whipping my forehead "that shit was close as helllll g, you think I need to hit her up ?" I said and he quickly nodded "here. She got a new-" I cut him off and I shot another question"what should I say ? How should I act? Oblivious? or gon come out like I know? Shit. She don't got her phone still & I mean you said she know Asi connected to me so ooo ion know if I should approach th-" he cut off my rambling "NIGGA !!, I DONT KNOW! JUST CALL FIRST ! DAMN!" he said in irritation chunking his phone. "aite. you right, you right" I took a step back and jogged out the gym .
I paced back and forwards across the gym lobby I was nervous as hell right now and moni wasn't even my bitch. I don't know what I was afraid of. "Ok here we go..." I mumbled as I came upon Monica's contact in Rod's phone. "What's up my brother from another muthaaaaaa, rod THE goddddd" she shouted happily through the phone making me immediately push the end button . "Fuckkk. I can't mane" I ran my hands down my face as his phone began to ring loudly. Shit. "Hello?" my deep voice echoed through the phone as the other line quieted "hello." I repeated. "Ja...jabriel??" Moni said slowly. Just Asi was about to freeze up I coughed. "Uhh...yea, it's me..." I said almost unsure. "Oh ...thats funny. stranger danger. Wonder which side of the bed you woke up on that made you decide to face me today" she said with an attitude. I decided way before even asking rod I was going into the situation acting lost as hell so I stammered "funny?...what's funny? face you?" I questioned her as if I never knew anything at all. She chuckled and sucked her teeth "bye JB" . "Aye aye chill. Ok . Moni." I called out. The line still was noiseless "Moni?..MONICA" I called out into the phone. "Boy don't yell in my fucking ear I'm still here, now imma ask again..." she said with authority. And like a child being scolded by his mother I didn't even allow her to repeat herself "ok ..ok . Damn Moni" I said. "Damn Moni?? Fuck you mean ? You have MY phone nig- you know what never mind. You right. Damn Moni" she said switching in and out stopping herself before turning up . I heard the 'fuck it' in her voice. My favorite sound. If it was fuck it to her, it damn sure was fuck it for me, no cap. "I ain't even gon wiry myself, how you been jabriel? Haven't heard from ya....friend" she said sarcastically, but I knew she was serious. "Mannnnn, I just been taking it day by day. I've had a lot going on. Formal Moni.." I said . "HA ...I can only imaging since..." she coughed "my phone magically disappeared. I'm surprised that mf ain't got you somewhere in a ball crying" she said as she busted out in laughter. Even if the case was I had her phone...I definitely wouldn't be crying..not even considering I'd never be that geeked to take her phone. What they say nowadays? This ain't that ! "Nah...honestly ion even know what you talking about but ummm...what about you ?how have you been ?" I lied again and quickly changed the subject. "You not shit you already know I know JB but whatever I just been chilling the last few days just-" She was cut off as Ross phone died. Damn. I jogged back into the gym "aye nigga, yo shit died" I said as I tossed it to him in exchange for the ball he'd been shooting with "let's go to 21"
