We woke up, my alarm went off "ughh fuk school" we remembered "good thang its da last week" Drewshaun said waking me da fuk up with his stink ass morning breath,"damn nigga you stink" he kissed me i aint give a fuk doe. We took a warm shower together got dressed and went to school, when we got to are lockers I noticed a group of girls walking up "wats goody, Dewy n Tye?" It was Quasheema she lived in the projects too, we both gave her a hug, she gave us a flyer it was a party in are projects "its gon be inda middle a da complex" she informed we read the flyer sure enough our moms was on it advertising that they was selling food, honey drippers, and doing hair and nails. The theme was mardi gras and it was a battle of the DJ's. I knew it was gonna be epic, through out the day all you heard walking through the hall ways was the party thats hosted by the queens a da projects. Through out the week are moms was busy as hell me, drew and Ray had to help sell the honey drippers and other products out side are apartment building. Ray suprisingly loved to work he even did over time where he sold candy in school to add to the same stash. Friday came only a day away from the party.my mom was getting mad cuz maintenance was supposed to come and clean up. Teetee came back up she was radient as hell. She got a lil thicker, her hair was in a huge fro with a flower on the side and she was wearing a sundress. It was only a month and she seemed to change. She ran up and hugged us. I never thought id miss her so much "Dym imma be back i gotta go git somthin, Drewy watch lil Drevon fuh meh" aunt Leecey walked out the complex towards the bus stop. Teetee helped mom finish this girls big (dukey) braids, like my mom Teetee was already a good hair stylest and usualy did little girls hair, aunt leecey came back with two girls and from what i could see twin boys about my age. Drew apparently knew who they was cuz he ran over and hugged them "tye dis my cousins, Reema and Cree. And deez hea my brudas Duwonn and Dane. They were all so cute Cree had a big blond afro, Reema (Ree) had long curly hair that flowed to her back, she was about the same skin tone as Kelly Rowland which made her quite exotic looking it wasn't Weave cuz my mom ran her fingers through her hair"dammnn what you mixed with?" She smiled and replied in her strong accent "ma daddy black n my momma come from Mauritania" my mom wasnt so good in geography so i privately told her it was a country in north west Africa. My mom saw the twins and where happy to see two giant afro's, Duwonn and Dane looked jus like Drew but shorter they where 15, cree and reema where half sisters and where both 14. it puzzled me. Drewshaun never talked about his younger twin brothers or cousins. "Tye, Cree and reema stayin wit Teetee, and Drewy da twins stayin in yo room help dem get settled in they stayin the summer wid us"aunt Leecey informed. I walk the girls up they was talking the whole way to the apartment we finally got to the room "where yo sista at?" Cree asked anxious to know who she had to spend her summer with. "She doin hair u jus missed her (hu)" "lawwwdi gurlle! hea da accent on sexy red boi hea" reema shouted out i laughed i never knew i had accent they mocked the way a said her over and over again. "Ight imma bring yah to Teetee" they followed me down the hall to vinny's old apt "wat da fuk wat happ'm tuh duh doe (door)?" Cree said so fast i had to ask her to repeat her self i walked to the living room where Teetee was doing a vixen sew in. I was suprised i never seen her do sew ins "tye look see imma show ma dat I could do sew ins too i be makin hella guap offa doez girls down dea (VA)" Cree and Reema walked up "yeeeeeeeessssss beech u diiid dat" Teetee smiled " thank you its only 25$" Cree took a twenty and a 5 out her brah and paid Teetee in advance they talked for a while and Reema finally mentioned that they where aunt leecey's nieces and theyre staying in her room her for the whole summer.Her face was priceless, she wasn't mad just suprised good thing they was getting along i went downstairs to see how Drew and the twins where doing. I got to the door "Dewy wat da fuk boi u down wrong and you know it" one the the twins said ion care Tye ma love, yall my brudas yall supposed to love me regardless" i knocked and they let me in "so you Tye?" Duwonn said, looking me up and down said with disgust "why da fukk it botha u so much nigga u aint fukin him! Dane yelled at Duwonn then bro hugged me "whats happ'm bruda inlaw" Dane greeted me "don't mine Duwonn he jus a ass hole"Dane said again "its ok papa gon beat his ass when he find out" Duwonn had a evil grin " i dont give a fuk baat him dat nigga dont give a fuk baat none a us." Drew lashed back at duwonn "Tye yo momma told me and Duwonn dat we gonna b sellin cologne and perfume and u needa bring us downtown" damn this was pretty much a family buisness me and Drew sell skin products, Teetee do hair full time now Rayquan was selling honey drippers aunt Leecy made food and candy. Im guessing the girls was gonna sell fish plates. I walked to the train stop with Drew and then "Drewy I cant do dis?" Duwonn out of no where said "i love yuh wit all my heart, hell i look up to you. I really cant undastand you too but i know u, and if u see somthin in him imma accept it." Drew grabbed him and hugged him hard "just dont change, if i see yo ass bouncin tommarow like a sissy dont talk tuh me" I laughed "nah we dont dat feminine shit "I asured him Drew walked over to me looked around, no one but the twins was here at the train station. he kissed me hard for a quick second "lawwwdi!" Dane interupted "dats gon take some gettin use to" they both said at the same time. The train finally came we hopped on and as usual we went to the top deck. "Yall cant tell nobody only yall momma, anty Dyma and Rayquan know" Drew told them "we yuh brudas and u already know aint no snichin round hea" we all dapped on it. Like deja-vu they was amazed by the buildings. I had no idea what was so special a good amount of the high rises where old or missing windows some had no windows at all we got to broad street i went to the chinese lady my mom was cool with. She knew we was coming she greeted us and gave us each a plate of what ever we wanted on the menu for free me and Drew got general tso chicken fried rice four fried chicken wings some crab sticks and 2 egg rolls each. "Damn you jus like Drewy" duwonn said seeing that i had just as big appatite as him. I pushed Drew playfully,he pushed me back and stole a piece a my chicken i punched him and took one back. The twins laughed. We were like best friends in public. when we were all done she handed us 5 large suitcases filled with cologne and perfume the suitcases where old and beat up so i know the police wasnt gonna get suspicious just when we got out the store i gotta call from my mom "get a paper and pen" she gave me a list of exotic weaves and the amount I needed for each. I bought them in no time simply handing the beuty suppy girl the list and writing my moms name and code on top they gave me all the weave in a duffle bag free of charge. We got back home the maintenance finally came my mom told them to clean up real good cuz we was havin a block party and party. She cool with all of them too, she told them if they wanted to make extra money they could get their wife's to come and make empanadas. They agreed,the day was non ending me and Drew where selling the lotions, shea butter, and body sprays. My mom got some crack heads to steal from bath and body works. We was selling fast, we had almost a box of every sent with lotion body wash and spray.we was sellin out vinny mom old room it was like a mini flea market Teetee was in the living room doing hair getting help from Cree. Reema was outside helping ray sell the candy and honey drippers. My mom as usual was out somewhere in the complex doing hair. Aunt Leecey was in her apt making food for tommarow.and the twins was selling cologne and perfume in vinny's old room we boarded up the windows to avoid attention. Although my mom had people on the look out at all times. We was selling till 1 in the morning. This was our summer job we all congregated at my apartment and put in all are money.while mom and aunt leecey counted we watched tv. "Ight so we made in all 10,522$,75 percent goin in the savings afta dat we got 2,630$ left divided up into the 7 a yahh so yall all get 375$ back." We was happy as hell $yeeeeesss!" Cree yelled who did yuh hair" my mom was impressed "yo doughta" it was a vixen but with a afro weave it was black at the roots red in the middle and blond on top she put it in afro puffsit was nice. "Yea u gonna be betta den me if u doin work like dis" my sister was so happy i knew what i was wearing i called Drewy to my room i showed him my out fit i was a straight cut camo pants, some yellow boxers, a costum made jeans vest,and some yellow foams. To top it all off i borrowed his black and gold earrings. he was gonna wear some black cut jeans, these custom made nike zoom flights, it was gold and black on the outside and white on the inside with gold lines on the side. He had a shirt that matched it perfectly. We made Rayquan sleep with the twins down in Drew room. Lovee the idea cuz he had a crush on the twins i jus hop he doesnt try anything too risky. Me and Drew was alone now But we was so tired we decided to jerk each other off,make out and go to bed.
Satureday came, my mom knocked on my door at 8am. Teetee, Reema and Cree were all gone I knew they went to get outfits. Me and Drew took a shower and scrubbed down each other with some Twilight Woods scented body wash then lotioned each other we put on some boxers and gym shorts "I need yah to set up da gazebos, n wake up Ray and da twins" we headed down to wake them up since Drew was with me we jus walked straight in. "What da fuck!" Rayquan was sucking Duwonn dick, what was funny was that Duwonn was sleeping.He woke up "wat da fuk?" He imediatly started fighting Rayquan,Drew and I separated them. It was kinda wierd cuz Drew was holdiing Duwonn from behind and he didnt have any pants on. He still had a 6.5 uncut boner sticking up. Duwonn put on some gym shorts they went for a walk. I talked to Rayquan and told him he cant be doing shit like that cuz he could get killed fukin around wit da wrong people. I told him he need to find a boy to call his own one dats not a quick hit. He broke down "im not like you Tye, people always fukin wit me at school, they call me a project kid, a crack baby" he broke down and cried. his mom, my moms first cousin use to do crack after She had him. Thats why he lived with us when he was younger. "Fuk dem, dats jus da basic ass people at school, u cant make dat control yuh life. I walked him to the mirror and gave him words of encouragement. Dane walked in not knowing anything that happend cuz he was sleeping in lil Dre room,"where Duwonn at?" I avoided the subject of what happened, "He went on a walk wit Drew, c'mon we gotta put up these gazebos. Some of the other boys in the complex helped us. It was the hardy metal gazebos too, my mom borrowed them from one of her friends with over 15 boys we put them up in no time and the tables too. By the time we were finished Drew and Duwonn walked back he signaled me Rayquan and Dane over "cmon we gon shoot some hoops" drew led the way to the park that wasnt too far away it was 10:00 now. We played until 12. While walking back Duwonn walked next to Rayquan. I could tell Ray was confused, hell I was too. We got back to the complex sweaty and smelling musky as hell it was 90 degrees today. The girls where back "sheesh!, yah niggas smell like sweaty balls, ass, and butt sweat " Teetee was trying to be funny. " I kno I do, you want some? I hugged her. Reminding you im shirtless and sweaty as hell, she yelled "Ewww Tye u bitch!!!" and ran in the house to change we went to Drews apartment to watch tv. We had to sit on the floor cuz we smelled "Rayquan lemmi talk tuh yuh" Duwonn got up and walked to Drews room and Ray followed him I was confused as hell I called Drew to the bathroom"wat da fuk goin on wit yuh brotha?" he chuckled "I told him not to knock nuthin till he try it, and he only live once so why not try a dude" he smiled , if it anyone was good at persuading, it was Drew, he could talk a dog into fukin a cat it was official. we went back to the living room. A hour passed they was still in the room. "Dane go wash yo ass" Drew ordered, he went and showered. He signaled me we went by the door and listened they were talking about their lifes, and a bunch a sentimental shit me and Drewy wernt intrested in unless it was us. We got bored and went back to watching TV. We all took showers and got dressed we all was flee as shit, it was 4:00pm now. The music started to Play we looked out the window it was so much people out on the court yard. They even had a stage in the middle we headed out.
