King Pin Wifeys VOL 1

Chapter 55

Starr was butt naked when he opened the door. She attempted to hug him, but he pushed her hands away.

“What’s wrong?”

Trey whisked right past her and stood at the floor to ceiling window overlooking the city of Atlanta. He could see Phillips Arena.

Starr eased up behind him and wrapped her arms around him. She could feel his heart pounding. “What’s wrong, babe?”

“I think Monte was trying to set me up!”

“How?”

“Well I went to meet him at Kroger’s in College Park, and there were police all over the goddamned place.”

“I’m not understanding. Monte is the runner, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Still don’t get it.”

“He got busted coming out of Houston.”

“I had no idea.”

“Well, I try not to bother you with shit like that. I don’t want you to worry.”

“When did he get busted?”

“Well, it was a few days before we saw him at the mall.”

Starr released Trey and then disappeared into the back room to get her bathrobe. There was no sense in walking around butt naked since the possibility of getting some dick was slim.

Star said, “I’m not following tho, babe.”

Trey turned to face her. “He tried to set me up.”

“How? He’s the freaking driver. Not like you were going to give him work.”

“Right, but I was going to give him some money.” Trey’s face became serious. “The way it works is that if I engage in a conversation about drugs or what happened in Houston, I could get fucked. That’s conspiracy.”

Starr said, “I know you got his bitch-ass out of jail. Why would he do that to you?”

Trey laughed. “You know why. He don’t want to go to prison for a long time. Nobody wants to go to prison.”

“You were going to give him money?”

“Yeah.”

Starr looked confused at first. Then she was deep in thought. “Then,” she said, “I don’t believe he was going to set you up, babe.”

“You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about!”

Her face became angry. She sat on a sectional and flicked on the TV. Scandal was on.

Trey noticed she was upset and he said, “I’m sorry, babe.”

Starr said, “I know you’re going through something right now, but don’t fuckin’ curse me because I’m here waiting on your ass to get home thinking I’m going to get some dick and you come in all upset.”

Trey said, “So all you thinking about is you getting some dick?”

“Hell, no, Trey! That’s not what I’m saying at all.”

“What the fuck are you saying?”

“Okay, now there you go with that cursing again.”

Trey eased over and stood behind the sectional and placed his hands on her shoulders and began to massage her neck.

“I’m sorry, babe.”

Starr said, “It’s not your fault. I know you’re going through a lot.”

“I am.”

Starr said, “But seriously, I don’t think he’s trying to set you up. First of all, you’re talking about a hood-ass grocery store. Trust me, something else was going on.”

Trey said, “How can you be so sure?”

“Since you had something to give him, I don’t think that would be the time for him to set you up. In other words, he needs that money. Now if he said he wanted to meet and there was no money involved, that would be a different story. Then I would be like, he tried to set you up.”

Trey said, “Good point.” He sat on the sofa and kicked off his shoes. He removed Starr’s robe and placed his mouth on her nipples.

They’d dozed off after sex. She lay in his arms and he was lying there with his hand on his crotch for no good reason. The TV was watching them. Trey heard the news anchor say, “Major drug bust in the Kroger parking lot in College Park.” The reporter went on to say that there were two Hispanic men trying to sell twenty-one kilos of coke to an undercover officer in the parking lot of the Kroger’s in College Park. Trey sat up on the bed and used his cell phone to turn the volume up on the television. Trey saw the two men handcuffed, standing beside the blue Camaro that he had seen dash through the parking lot. He laughed then smiled. Starr had been right. He wanted to wake her and tell her but he knew that there would be hell to pay if he attempted to wake her. He thought about calling Monte, but decided he would call him in the morning. He checked his phone and noticed he’d missed two calls from Shamari and there was a text message: Bruh, I don’t want anything from you, but I would like to meet up with you, so you can tell me all that you know about Jada and the white dude. Though he felt bad for Shamari, he didn’t respond. There was no doubt in Trey’s mind that it was just a matter of time before Shamari’s hit man ratted him, and he didn’t want no part of that dude.
