"Tana!!"

"Nelly!!"

"Trigga!!" He said calling his own name. Santana giggled walking out from her room seeing them both laid up on the couch. Chanel stood up going to the kitchen, that was in the middle of the apartment, meeting up with her friend.

"Wassup"

"You wouldn't mind if Trigga invited some of his friends over would you?"

"No I'm in my room studying anyways so I don't care" she shrugged her shoulders going in the fridge taking out a pitcher of kool aid.

Chanel watched her friend go in the cabinet taking out a clean glass before placing it on the counter. Her hair was in a half pony showing off her facial features she was dressed in leggings and a t shirt hiding her body.

"Nikki and Diamond coming over too"

"Alright" she said pouring herself a cup of juice.

"And King and Dex and some other niggas" Trigga added.

"How many niggas?" Santana questioned before taking a sip.

"Like two more they ain't like the last ones"

"I hope not" Chanel added.

"If they are I'm kicking all y'all out-"

"Even me?" Trigga questioned.

"Yes even you" Santana answered going to the back hearing her best friend giggling.

Chanel turned around and faced her man for the past two years even though they knew each other for six. She has known Trae aka Trigga way before he even got put onto the game, through her older cousin Dontay. She admired his chocolate colored skin and fresh edge up she did herself, His pink full lip and dark brown eyes was something she couldn't resist. He was dressed in gray sweat pants and a black t shirt like he was chilling at his own place.

"King going to the liquor store you want anything?"

"Uh yea just ciroc red berry should be fine" she answered sitting down next to him.

"What you smiling for?"

"Remember when we first met?" She questioned.

"Yeah your little ass had a staring problem" he answered. She sucked her teeth and waved him off before looking at the tv. She met Trigga when she was fifteen and he was nineteen and she been in love with him ever since. They made it official when she was over age and he was fresh out.

"Your tall ass was rude as hell"

"Yea cause you called me ugly-"

"You are ugly" she lied.

"Well my ugly ass got you calling me daddy so I don't ca-"

Before he could finish she threw a small square decor pillow at him making him laugh. He pulled her in closer and pecked her lips turning her frown into a smile.

"I love you"

"I love you too" she smiled kissing him again.

"Hey" Santana greeted walking into the living room that smelled like strong loud and liquor. A boogie Bag On Me played through the speaker as everybody talked amongst themselves.

"Hey"

"Wassup Ma?"

"Hey girl"

What's good?"

"Yo sis you want some of this?" Trigga questioned holding the blunt in the air but she shook her head.

"Sis?" Diamond questioned.

"Wait hold up" Nikki said standing up waving her hands in the air. "Santana you smoke?" She smiled.

"Sometimes"

Nikki and Diamond were best friends working at the beauty shop who became good friends with Chanel. Nikki was a mocha chocolate colored skinny chick with a little thickness in her thighs and ass but up top was small but she loved her little bee stings. Her weaves and wig were always on point and she always stayed laced. Her light brown eyes and thick lips were niggas weakness and they couldn't resist.

Diamond was opposite, she was thick in all the right places and her skin tone was lighter then Nikki's. She had perfect round lips and oval shaped green eyes that fit her chubby round face. Her hair was always kept in a long curly Brazilian weave that brought out her features even more.

"Girl I would have never guess" Nikki chuckled taking the blunt from Trigga hand plopping back down on the couch. Santana smiled softly eyeing everyone in the room.

"So your Santana?" A tall dark skin boy said eyeing her with redden glossy eyes.

"Yes and you are?"

"You ain't heard of me? I'm Dex"

"Well it's nice to meet you Dex" she smiled.

"Like wise like wise" he repeated making some of the guys laugh. They all started talking and yelling again so Santana made her way to the kitchen tuning them out. She made herself a small snack before going back to her domain.

King watched Santana walk off to the back while everybody continue to talk. There was something about her that he couldn't resist. He wanted her. Bad. And he had to have her. He stood up knocking Diamond down into the couch, the spot he was sitting on.

"Where you going?" Diamond questioned him.

"Uh Nel where's your bathroom?"

"Down the hall first door on the left you can't miss it" she answered. He made his way to the back taking a look around at the pictures on the wall. As he made his way to the bathroom he spotted her sitting on her bed with her laptop open and her face deep into a medical book. Finding the bathroom he took care of his business.

"Why you not hanging out with us?" Santana heard a voice making her look up from her books. She made eye contact with King who was standing at her door with a smirk on his face.

"Uh" she chuckled taking her glasses off. "I'm studying"

"You in school?"

He walked further in the room taking everything in noticing how clean and organized she kept it.

"Uh yeah"

"What you going for?" He asked sitting next to her on the bed.

"Nursing"

"Nice I heard that's hard my little cousin doing the same thing she stressed right now"

"Yea I know how she feels"

"Ain't for me though"

"Excuses" Santana mumbled.

"What you say?" King questioned. Santana turned and faced him.

"I said excuses...school is for anybody you can do anything you put your mind too"

"Oh yea well I put my mind in being on top of Detroit and now look" King said seriously. Santana looked at him for a few seconds before laughing.

"How old are you?"

"How old do I look?"

"Uh twenty two"

"I look that young?" He smiled feeling himself. "Nah But I'm twenty five about to be twenty six you the young buck" he chuckled rubbing the bottom of her chin making her smile.

"You have a beautiful smile" he complimented. Before she could respond someone cleared their throat getting both of their attention. They looked up seeing Diamond standing there with her arms folded over her chest.

"What's going on? I wanna laugh" she says staring at Santana who was now facing her laptop. King slowly stood up and made his way towards Diamond who looked pissed.

"Really King?!" Was the only thing Santana heard before she got up and closed her door. She heard more yelling before hearing the front door slam.

"Girl what happen?" Chanel question busting in her room.

"Nothing why?"

"Diamond is pissed she tried to come at King crazy but he stopped all that they both just left you didn't hear the door slam?"

"Yea but I thought it was because they all left"

"Nah King is pissed off cause Diamond crazy ass"

"Well nothing happen we was just talking"

"Nothing more?"

"No why?"

"She making it seem like you and him was back here getting busy" Chanel laughed making Santana join in.

"Ew no girl you know how I am"

"Yea I know but just had to let yo ass know the tea that just went down in our living room" she continued to laugh before walking out.

****

"You using the blow dryer?" Mickey asked walking over to Santana station.

"Nah go ahead you can use it"

Santana was just doing the finishing touches on her clients 22 inch straight Peruvian weave Making sure her leave out was perfect and edges were fleeky.

"Santana girl you hooked me up!!" The client smile satisfied with her hair.

"Don't let her get to close girl she might try and steal your man" Diamond mumbled but loud enough for everyone to hear. They all, including Santana rolled their eyes. All day Diamond been throwing shade towards her and she was growing annoyed.

"If I really wanted your nigga I could easily take him" Santana said out loud grabbing everybody's attention.

"What?"

"I said if I really wanted your nigga Diamond I could easily take him" she repeated. Some of the ladies started to instigate with the ooh's and girl.

"What makes you think King wants you?"

"I don't think that at all but I'm not gonna sit here and let you talk about something that went down at me and Chanel apartment in my room that's either yours or anybody in here business-"

"It is my business if my man is involved-"

"Diamond be real how many mans do you have?" Santana shot back but quickly regretted it. She wasn't the type for drama and fights, specially over a nigga. Mickey started laughing loudly making everybody else laugh including Nikki.

"Since when did little prissy Santana grew balls?" Diamond questioned.

"She always had them" Chanel added looking at her through the mirror braiding a clients hair quickly. "Nobody never told you don't mess with the quiet ones"

"Okay ladies enough!!" Taylor screamed. Diamond twisted up her lips watching Santana happily take her next customer. Hatred toward Santana ran through her body. She didn't like the way she spoke to her and tried to play her in front of everybody. For the rest of the evening as everybody laughed and joked Diamond was still feeling a type of way.

***

"Yes daddy" Diamond moaned riding King. His hands caressing her breast as she bounced up and down trying to make herself climax. He roughly pulled her down and took control making her scream out until they both came together.

"Sex with you so amazing" She sung rolling off of him. He threw his pants on and made his way to the bathroom leaving her alone for a few seconds. Diamond rolled her eyes cause she knew that he was flushing the condom he busted in. She has been trying to trap King ever since she fucked him the night of the club. She wanted his baby and she knew some how, someway she was going to get her baby. She wanted to be with him forever.

"Yo light me up" King said stepping back into the room. She reached over and grabbed his blunt on the night stand she rolled for him earlier. Once he laid down he snatched it out her hand and placed it in his mouth. She grabbed the lighter and lit the blunt for him.

"How was your day?" She asked him rubbing on his tattoos on his chest.

"It was iight how was work?" He asked But deep down King didn't care how Diamond day went. He didn't even care for her at all. She was just a fuck to him and that how he was gonna keep it.

"Work was horrible that girl Santana gets on my damn nerves" she answered. "She think she better then everybody"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah babe like she thinks you want her all of sudden cause ya had small talk" she said sucking her teeth.

"Wow that's crazy man" he said not giving a fuck. His mind was else where right now. "You can have the rest of this I gotta go" he said putting it out in the ashtray.

"Your not staying? Where you going?"

"Out" he answered.

Diamond watched King get dress with sadness in her eyes but it quickly changed when she saw him throw some cash on the nightstand for her.

"I'll see you around"

"Alright" she smiled. She waited till she heard the front door slam to grab the money and count it.

"A half a thou?" She questioned to herself. "My pussy is worth more then that"

She walked over to her closet and squatted down to the messy clothes piled in he corner. Moving them to the side she revealed her safe she had hidden beneath. She opened it and put the money with the rest of her stash.

"Cheap ass nigga" she said closing the safe up and hiding it back up. Diamond didn't care what people called her behind her back or to her face. This was her way to hustle and survive in this world beside work at Taylor shop. So far she saved up to buy a house just for herself but it wasn't going to that. She had other plans for it.

***

"Trigga can you do me a favor? Please?" Santana asked. Other then Chanel, Trigga was also Santana best friend. He seen her cry and she seen him cry. When Trigga and Chanel first started messing around she got pregnant but miscarried due to her father beating it out of her. Santana found out through Trigga and ever since then they been close.

"What is it?" He asked snatching a Dorito bag from Dex. He jumped at him trying to make him flinch but failed. Dex didn't fear nobody.

"Can you pick me up at school on Tuesday?"

"Why can't Chanel get you?" He asked as Dex tried to snatch the bag back quickly but he moved it.

"She has to work and she is already dropping me off in the morning"

"What time?"

"Around three"

"Yea I be there"

"Thank you" she smiled hugging him. "Love you" she says before walking away.

"Love you too aye!! I better not see you hugged up on some boy either I'll whoop his ass-"

"Shut up Trae!!" She yelled out before closing her door.

"Yoo you really gonna put King on?"

"I don't know man"

"He seem serious about this one and he hasn't even fuck yet" Dex laughed to himself.

"What you mean yet nigga?" Trigga chuckled.

"How much you wanna bet if you put King on he'll hit"

"I ain't betting nothing bruh that's my little sis-"

"Aye I'm just saying it's gonna happen even if we don't bet on it" he chuckled putting his hands up like he surrender.

"Try it out maybe she'll change him that's nigga still crazy he needs help. She smart, goes to school she a good girl and she bad as fuck bruh I get tongue tied when she comes around son that shit never happens"

"Cat got ya tongue?" Trigga chuckled.

"Her cat can snatch my tongue anytime!!!"

"Ssshh" Trigga said looking down the hallway to see if anybody was coming. Chanel was in the shower but she could've came out in the middle of their conversation listen to them talk.

"I'll think about it" Trigga said once he saw the coast was clear.

"Aah man this is gonna be some crazy ass shit" Dex laughed to himself. "I can see it now"

Trigga just shook his head at his long time friend and thought about helping King out with this one. Santana was like family to him and he knows what type of guy King was and he didn't want to put her through a lot even though she dealt with enough. Maybe they both can help each other.

"Still thinking about it?"

"Thinking about what?" Chanel question walking out in time.

"Nothing nosey" Trigga answered. She squinted her eyes at him before walking towards the living room.

"You know I'm gonna find out Trigga!!"
