The next morning, I woke up on my own and did my usual routine and got dressed. As I was putting on my shoes there was a knock on the door.

"Come in... its open"

"Hey baby girl"

"Dad"

"Still mad I see"

"Yes"

"Can you stop with that one word shit you know I don't like it one bit"

"Pops what you want me to say... I'm upset, you pushing me away from our business"

"I am not, I just need someone around while you at school, or hanging out with you friends and shit"

"At night when I wanna go wipe out some niggas I want you to be in bed sleeping or partying and not on the streets killing at 3 in the morning" he added sitting down beside me.

"Dad, I did that shit before... it wasn't a problem"

"So, what's the real deal" I said turning to look at him.

The room went quiet for a good two minutes before he said anything.

"Dad"

"Look I want you to go college, have a little fun get yourself a boyfriend. You be up in the trap too much"

"What!" I said laughing.

"You heard me... That's why I flew that nigga here to help me while you are away...yes you can come do deals, fuck a nigga up if you wanna but baby gurl I want the best for you too... I want you to be 18, party and get you ass in trouble sometimes"

"Business is yours, but I want you do the business right.... so, if anything goes down nothing will be tied to you" he added.

"And college and a boyfriend gonna make that happen?" I asked getting annoyed.

"Yes, if you go to college, you can study business that way you can start a legit tax paying business while doing the drug thing undercover so when feds and anybody start looking in our family, we have an excuse"

"We have you owning some high-end company to hide what we doing" he said holding my hands.

"So, baby gurl don't think I'm pushing you out... I'll be a fucking fool to do that cause who can shoot like you" he added, which made me laugh.

"Fine pops ...for you I will do anything but I'm not so sure about getting a boyfriend part" I said, and he laughed.

"Good... now hurry off to school"

"Can I have the keys to the BMW?" I asked as he stood at the door.

"You gonna have to buy you own damn car"

"Why should I when I got all of yours" I said, and we both laughed.

"Oh, baby gurl.... we have a hit later and since today's Friday...what you say you coming?" He added as he was about to leave.

"Oh, hell yeah I am"

"Keys will be on the table" he said as he laughed and closed the door.

I continued to get ready and in just less than 5 minutes I was finish. I grabbed my bag and phone and headed out. I drove to Kulture's to pick her ass up.

"You're early today" she smart mouthed as she entered the car.

"Hello to you too bitch" I replied, and she laughed.

"No puppies today" she joked looking back.

"Guess they ass gas up their car"

"Why you so early though?"
