Fae and Gabby 2: Return of The Walkers

Chapter 5

"You cheated!"

Cindy laughed, as JC crossed his arms and looked away, stubbornly. "Nigga, I didn't cheat," she said, "I played this game over five times. I know what to do and how to do it. What you getting all emotional for?"

"I ain't getting emotional. This is just some bullshit! I would've won if you wasn't in the way. You always blocking a nigga and shit," JC said. Cindy put her elbow on his shoulder. "Yo, it ain't like this is serious. I'm giving you some time to practice before Reezy comes over. Be grateful," she said.

JC twisted some parts of his mohawk fade: a habit he grown accustomed to. "A'ight. You got a point. How much we bettin'? Ten? Fifteen?" "I was thinking...twenty-five."

JC looked at her, shocked. "Twenty-five dollars?! Girl, you trippin'! What I look like giving away twenty-five dollars?" he responded. "Ay, I'm just trying to make it interesting. If you ain't got the papers, pay me back once you do," Cindy suggested, "I know you ain't scared." JC scoffed. "Naw, shawty. Ain't nobody scared. I'm just sayin' you don't wanna miss all that dough once you lose, now do you?" he retorted.

Cindy shook her head. "JC, you my nigga and all, but there ain't no way in hell you can take my money." She started the game over as she patted his head. "Plus, I saw how you play. We all know who gon' win all them money, boy."

That's when they heard the front door opening. "Hol' your applause 'cuz Young Reezy is in the house making all them hoes love me and all them niggas wish they were me," Riley announced once he and Gabby came in the living room. Gabby looked around the room in amazement. "Damn, this place is large. I've never seen a house this big since...shit, never," she said.

JC looked at her up and down as Cindy smirked. "It's a'ight. Who would've thought you ever show your face around here, hoe?" Gabby rolled her eyes. "Yeah, well it doesn't make my day to look at you, too, bitch," she said.

JC looked at Riley, confused. Riley just shrugged his shoulders, not understanding the relationship between the Caucasian girl and the African-American/Hispanic girl. "JC, this is Lil' G. My girl I was telling you about. Lil' G, this is JC. One of our homies," Riley said, picking up a controller. JC smiled at her. "Ay, lil' mama. What's a fine girl like you hanging with Reezy's lame ass?" he asked.

Gabby laughed once she saw Riley glared at him. "What can I say? I'm being held against my will," she joked. Riley sucked his teeth. "Man, if y'all done talking shit, we got a game to play," he told them. "You can play with us if you want," JC offered to Gabby, while Cindy scoffed. "If she knows how to hold a controller."

Gabby was about to retort, until her phone ring. She rolled her eyes once she found out it was her sister. "Ay, y'all. I gotta take this call. I'mma be back," she told the others, as she walked out of the living room. "What's up, Fae?""Gabby, where did you go? You said you wanted to come back to Woodcrest to see Riley." "And that's what I'm doing! Riley here with me. He took me to C-Murph's place so we can chill," Gabby explained.

"Gabby, I don't care where you go nor where you been. However, I'm more concerned that you don't let me know where you headed off to. You remember Dad told me to watch you while we come over here?" Gabby sucked her teeth.

"Man, stop treating me like a baby! Girl, I don't need you to be watching me. I'm grown. I can take care of myself," she said, clearly aggravated. "Trust me, I know that, but the least you could do is informed me that you were going somewhere with a boy. Huey and I were looking everywhere for you and Riley."

"Fae, you don't need to be knowing what I do every single day. I have a life! Let me live it. And now that you know where I'm at, you can chill. So hang with your boy, Huey, while I hang with mine. See ya at home!"
