Three Weeks Later
—————— Raheem swayed with Azaria holding onto her waist. Angel laid her head on Nehemiah's chest rocking back and forth. Kimonie and her date Trey sat at the table talking to each other. and finally Jermaine and his date taliyah were just arriving. ——————
Eight Hours Earlier
"here's yo cut" roscoe handed raheem a stack of money
raheem counted it frowning his face up. he counted it again scrunching his face up. he was supposed to have 2,500 he only had 1,000 he was short 1,500 dollars.
"yo where my other 1500 at?"
roscoe shrugged and counted his money
"how much you got?"
"4,000" he said with a smirk
it didn't take a mathematician for someone to understand that roscoe shortened raheem's money.
"nigga gimme my money"
"nah g this my money" roscoe chuckled
raheem got up swinging on him he was keeping up with roscoe pretty good until he was uppercuted. out of fear raheem pulled his gun out.
"gimme my cut nigga" he spat out blood
"whatcho gone do shoot me?"
raheem took his gun off safety shooting him in the shoulder. he went through his pockets grabbing his money.
"bitch" he spat walking off
raheem rushed home cleaning all his fingerprints off the gun hiding it in the floorboards of the abandoned house on the corner of his street. he cleaned up his wounds icing his jaw taking some advil for the pain.
—————
"damn what happened to you?" nehemiah asked
"i fought roscoe" he shrugged
raheem didn't wanna tell nehemiah or anybody about him shooting roscoe because this was his problem to deal with and after tonight he'd be going ghost.
"yo big homie roscoe?" jermaine asked
they were all getting their suits pressed for homecoming tonight and no one was around so they were opened to talk about it.
raheem nodded texting his granny. he didn't want that to be the topic of conversation considering it kinda happened in broad daylight he was trying to watch his back.
"the hell happened?"
the boys were confused and wanted to know if they had to protect him. of course they knew he could handle his own he was the oldest and the strongest.
"we did something got paid for it, i was short of my money and he had it so we fought" raheem explained leaving out some key points for obvious reasons
while raheem was dealing with roscoe nehemiah had his own issues to deal with.
"mmcht this girl" he mumbled texting angel back
once he got his suit he was on his way over to angel's
————
"angel you do this the day before homecoming" he huffed
angel had saw a text message from his ex and no longer wanted to go to homecoming. she knew he had no contact with her but it still irritated her.
"i don't care im not going" she said
he looked down at his phone chuckling dryly
"you going so ion give a fuck" he shrugged
"no im not"
"yes you are matter of fact come outside" he said
"wha- come outside or im coming inside either way you still gone see me" he cut her off
angel walked outside getting into his car looking ahead.
"im not going"
"look me in my eyes and say it"
nehemiah wasn't about to waste his money or time over something so silly and childish. he didn't care that she was upset they were going and were going to have a good time. angel didn't even look at him which gave him his answer loud and clear.
"oh ight then" he mumbled
"tomorrow you better be ready or we gone have to get down" he mushed her head
"leave me alone" angel mugged him
her stomach was doing backflips from his firmness she should be used to him putting his foot down but this time it made her have butterflies in other places.
"you did all that over a girl ion even want or care for" he shook his head
"ian had no conversations with that girl since we broke up if i wanted her still i wouldn't have been arguing with you" he told her
nehemiah had way too much love and respect for angel do something shiesty to her. he was heavy on fuck my ex he was in a relationship he wanted to be in forever.
"okay" angel said lowly regretting making such a big deal out if something small
nehemiah turned her face towards him pecking her lips twice. they were good so was raheem for now.
