A New Kind of Thug Love (Thugs can love sequel)

Chapter 4

Toya POV

I'm not surprised they thought me and Jaheem got something goin on. I like him, just not like that. He's been really helpful and I owe him a lot for getting me back here. We were talkin and everyone was catching me up. Britt and Xavier are back together and I'm proud of them. Shad and Malik are going to make me hurt them when I stop hurting. Got damn bastards.

"Ra why you ain't talkin?" Keem was grinning. I must be missing something.

"Shut the hell up," he said. Okay then? "But aye Toya, it's good to have you back. We missed you."

"Some of us," Shad said not looking at Rashid.

"Am I missing something?" I looked at all of them for an explanation. No one said anything. They expected me to be real but I can't get it back in return? Seriously?

"Daddy!" a cute little boy came running in and to Rashid. He looked at the little boy then at me.

"Hey babe," a girl walked in. She was actually cute with curly hair and a small frame. She looked at me. "Hi I'm Shana, Rashid's girlfriend and mother of his son." She stuck her hand out to me. She may seem like she's just being nice but I know a fake bitch when I see one. She think she slick but Imma let it slide because I'm too fuckin sore to be fighting and it's really close to my appointment.

"Toya," I shook her hand. I really didn't come back lookin for any problems. "Y'all I gotta go. I got an appointment."

"Wait you leavin again?" Shad jumped up.

"I'm in a lot of pain right now and I'm going to the hospital to get checked out."

"I'm coming," Britt, Shad, and Malik jumped up at the same time. I shrugged. I looked to make sure Jaheem was cool with it. He didn't seem to care. "Where are y'all stayin?"

"You'll see later," I said. I can't stand up on my own because this pain is so unbearable. Jaheem had to help me up. "If I have a broken rib or something I'm going to hit you."

"You the one that wanted to build a damn bomb. Yo ole extra ass." Everyone laughed.

"Don't laugh at this nigga. He work my damn nerves and shit."

"Let's go before I trip yo ass up." I know his ass is serious because he did it today already. I swear I dislike him sometimes. We went to our rental car and Shad and them went into separate cars to follow us. "You good?" he asked once we were in the car.

"I'll be better once I find out what's wrong."

Jaheem POV

What's up? My name Jaheem and I'm 23. When people see me they see a 'pretty boy' sort of. I'm lightskin, not redbone light, with tatts all on my arms and chest. My eyes are a pale bluish color and I'm about 6'5 and I look small but I'm really strong. I worked for that guy Joe (Toya's dad), for like five years almost. What I told everyone was the truth just not the whole truth. That nigga did get my older brother killed and I went in working for him to kill him myself. It was fucked up how my first real job was to kidnap Toya. When I first saw her, I liked her. I wanted to help her. I wanted her to like me too. I still like her, more than ever now that we're free to continue our lives.

I like to see her smile. I like to see her relax. I don't like I had to use her to get what we both wanted. I turned her into a killer. But she and I both knew the only way to get away from Fast Joe was to kill him. It was smart to kill his squad because they would've known she at least was involved.

I looked over at Toya. She was sleeping. Toya is not what I expected. She was strong willed, funny, loving, caring, she put on a sort of thug persona and when she really smiles it just changes everything about her. I've gotten so used to having this girl by my side I don't know how I can just leave her. But I know I have my own shit to handle.
