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

Chapter 20

*2 months later*

Jaheem POV

"Son," I was at my parents place chillin when my dad came up to me.

"What's up pops?"

"I see you've been workin hard since you've got back and I'm proud of you." That meant a lot when I felt like I was nowhere near ready for this. "Next week we're having the ceremony."

"Wait are you serious?"

"Yes I am. It's time someone takes over. I'm ready to pass along the empire. I know that you're ready for it son, even if you don't."

"Thanks pops," I gave him one of those man hugs. Damn I'm psyched about this. I called Toya up quick. I missed the hell out of her and now I have a reason to bring her back.

"Yes?" damn she sound good as hell on the phone.

"Wassup babe?"

"Hey Jaheem. I'm just finishing up this last paper. What's good?"

"My pops just told me that I'm ready to get the throne."

"Oh congradulations I'm so proud of you. I know this is what you wanted for a long time."

"Yeah I have. But I called because I want you to come to the ceremony."

"Ceremony?"

"Yeah it's traditional. Whenever someone passes down the empire we have a ceremony. They're then known as King."

"Oh okay. I don't have any classes for the next three weeks anyway. I'll get back to you on the details and everything. I'm about to go kill my brothers."

I laughed. "Okay babe call me later." Having Toya back will mean I get to make her my girl. Nothing is going to stop me.

Toya POV

To catch you up on me the last couple months can be summed up as me changing. I did some thinking and I realized I do have feelings for Jaheem. I didn't want to admit it because I wasn't too sure if I was ready to push our relationship. I'm also still not all that much over Rashid. I haven't really seen him these past two months but I still have mad feelings for him.

But like I said, I have to practice what I preach. I left him alone with his family. Hopefully he's happy. But moving on. I'm changing my entire persona. That talk with Nessa opened my eyes. I have to be ready for anything. I have friends in the game and a soon kingpin 'maybe-boyfriend'. First I decided to start with my bucket list of things. I already got the top thing, my baby, my Camaro. I started getting a few tattoos. I got a butterfly on my lower back. Some stars on my side and stomach. I also re-pierced my belly button and got my tongue pierced. Now I can barely pronounce anything with an s sound. It sounds more like a th.

But anyways, I've also been going to the shooting range. I'll be damned if I'm the weakest link out the gang. Hell nah, even Britt know how to take care of herself out here in these streets her ole pregnant ass. But yeah, Xavier has been helpin me in secret too. Good because I don't need everyone in my business. I also dyed my hair to a dirty blond color just to see how far I can go. Imma tell you right now ya bish look fly as fuck.

"Toya!" Britt came and lied down in my lap. She was barely showin but I always play with her little tummy. I can't wait until we find out the sex so I can plan this baby shower. "I'm bored."

"Whatchu tellin me for?" She mugged me. "Besides I have to get packed."

"Where you goin?" she pouted.

"New York. Jaheem havin a ceremony and he wants me to come."

"You goin to New York too?"

"Who else is goin?"
