Thug Luv Pt. 1: Beginnings

Alwayz Into Somethin'/Killafornia

Don't be playing that Crip nigga's shit in my house!" Darryn said coming in and turning off the stereo. I was listening to Eazy E while he was gone.

He took the cassette out and threw it on the couch, storming back to his room and shutting the door.

"What's wrong?" I got up and followed him.

"Not right now, KD, ah'ight? Just gimme a minute.."

"Baby please tell me what's wrong."

"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE" Darryn yelled. I heard a thud against the door like he threw something, then the TV turned on and he blasted the volume.

I crossed my arms and stormed away, dropping back onto the couch. Ceaz came in from his room and sat in the chair across from me.

"Told you that nigga was gonna start acting up. You shoulda listened, now look at you about to cry."

"He don't mean it, someone else probably pissed him off."

Ceaz chuckled, "You let him fuck didn't you? Yeah I heard ya'll last night. That's why he acting like that now."

I gave him a dirty look but didn't say anything, no way he was about to upset me.

"So you gonna let me take you out now Kyra?"

"Ceaz, no. What part of "no" don't you get? Me and him have one bad moment and you're up my ass."

"Just spend a little time with me, you won't wanna go back to Darryn. I promise you."

I ignored him and got up, going into the kitchen. Of course he followed.

"I'm only trying to be nice to you Kyra.." Ceaz said hurrying behind me.

"Look, Ceaz I know, but you doing too much." I said leaning against the fridge, "You're bein' weird."

"That's your problem. You so used to bad boys when a nice guy tries to get at you you don't know how to take it," Ceaz assumed.

I looked him up and down, "You don't know me to tell me what my problem is."

"I can read women like you. Don't underestimate me, you wanna give me a chance but you're scared to. I'm tryna get it through to you that you're scared of the wrong person. That nigga in there is who you needa be running from."

"Well when he hits me I'll give you a holler. Now leave me alone" I said, turning to walk away. Ceaz grabbed my arm.

"C'mon, Kyra. One time, please? Even if it's just an hour...You're so beautiful, I can't leave you alone."

I looked up at him, his eyes begged me to say yes and for the first time I felt myself softening up for him.

"Alright..Just this once. What do you want to do?"

Ceaz reacted like a little kid getting a whole chocolate bar, "Yesss! Uh, I don't know..I didn't think I'd get this far."

I rolled my eyes, "You wanna be around me so bad but you ain't been planning shit? Wow. I do need to go over to the apartment and pick up the rest of my stuff, you could take me there and we can talk on the way."

"That sounds good to me! We gotta slide over to my moms and them across the road though,
I use her car whenever I need to go somewhere," Ceaz said.

"Why don't you just stay over there then?" I wanted to know as we headed for the door
Ceaz opened it for me, "Long story that I may or may not end up telling you."

I left it at that but was still wondering what might have went down.

We walked across the street to the house and Ceaz unlocked the door and let us in, I heard the loud Spanish music before we even got to the door
