Ivy 8

Roslin(Rose)POV:

"Who did your hair, this braids are cute. You still look like a school child, plus you don't have on makeup."

She rolls her eyes. "That's why I started wearing makeup, I look like a baby when I don't have it on. It just pisses me off. Some lady downtown, her name is Lauren."

I smile. We are out having ice cream at North Pole Cream. "These are good. I missed this place, they don't have it in Mexico, I don't know why."

"Let me taste yours." I try to scoop some from her cup, but she moves it. "Um no. You have yours, this is mine."

"Just one taste. I haven't eaten the nuts one in so long."

She narrows her eyes at me. "Fine, eat. Bring yours here." We giggle and swap. "This is really good. So, when are you seeing Aug again?"

She sighs eating my ice cream. "I asked to see Aaliyah, and he said she's coming next weekend and I should sleepover. I don't know. I just wanna see the baby, that's all. He says Aaliyah is the one who asked if I could spend the weekend, but I think he is lying."

"You think his the one who wants you to spend the night?"

She fiddles with her fingers and shrugs. "I don't know, but my subconscious keeps telling me that. I don't know. It's just going to be so awkward. Why is she even staying there? Ok, yeah, it's his girl or whatever, but- it's just going to be tense. Like I couldn't even stay with her in the same room. She keeps throwing the fact that she's August's girlfriend. Like I know, I'm not after your man, we just friends. She keeps giving me nasty looks and I just don't want to be uncomfortable when I have a house. I'm just going to see Liyah- yeah, it's not like four years ago, and we not even close anymore and it's not just us anymore, he has a girl and we both should respect her." I nod. "I fully understand and respect what you are saying. Look, whatever you do, be careful of Aug, he loves this girl and- I know he cares about you, but I've heard them say 'I love you' to each other. Just be careful and don't fall when you don't know if he'll even leave Miracle for you."

Chris POV:

I run my hand through my hair. This shit is frustrating. People out here are just dumb.

"Nigga, listen here, I don't give a fuck about your babymama, you needed to deliver this shit yesterday. Get down here right now or you don't have a job no more."

I hang up before he can say anything else. "That nigga ain't deliver the cocaine last night. He telling 'bout his baby mama not coming to fetch the baby. Do I care? Hell nah!"

Yung sighs, exasperated. "Nigga, what's good with you?" I ask annoyed. He side eyes me. "Mira-"

"Don't even bother, I got enough shit on my plate."

The door opens and Red walks in looking pissed. We both frown.

"One of our trucks has been hijacked."

August stands abruptly, now pissed. "Fuck you mean our Truck has been hijacked? Which truck?"

Red runs a hand down his face, frustration all over his face. "The one with cocaine and it was supposed to head up to Houston."

Yung chuckles. "It ain't the opps, is it?"

Red shakes his head. "Nah, something is up. 5O would have been here already. Last week one of our blocks got shot at, do you think its connected?"

I frown. "Definitely. Yung call Rizzy."

Rita(Riri)POV:

Later in the day.
