A Few Weeks Later

Being up under Aubree all the time kind of knocked me out of my hustling mode. Instead being out in the streets I wanted to be up under her.

With her new schedule, we spend even more time together. I hate this whole being secretive shit though. She's still my PO, thankfully so I know if I slip up on the drug test she got me. I've been trying to stop smoking and drinking. Aubree had to take another test for me. Drinking I can do with out but smoking, that shit is what keeps me calm when I'm ready to snap somebody's fucking neck.

So the packs of cigarettes have been doubling up and if Aubree sees me smoking a cigarette, she snatches out my mouth and pops me in the lips like I'm a kid or something. I'm suffering, she don't even understand.

Walking into the warehouse, the strong marijuana ran up my nose. I quickly grabbed the cigarette from my ear and lit it. Hopefully this will keep me distracted.

"Well look at what the wind done blew in!" Keeis yelled, causing everybody to look at me.

Like I said, I'm barely hear now. A smirk peeled across my face as I approached my seat. "Shut up nigga."

"I was about to put a missing persons report on yo ass."

"Nigga I just saw you the other day!"

"Not here though. And it was only for a quick second. I'm walking in the house and you walking out with Ro and a overnight bag."

"Every time I pull at his crib he ain't there." Hoody said. "What's going on Chrez?"

"Nothing, every now and then I like to get away. You know my parents always at my crib."

"Why haven't you just bought them their own crib?" Sinko asked.

"Nigga I did but they still end up at my shit. My momma I don't really mind but my pops man....I hate that nigga." I shook my head. "Speaking of my pops, which one of y'all running back to him telling everything about me?!" I sit up in my seat staring at every one of them.

"He come up here when you ain't here. He sees when you slacking on his own, ain't nobody telling him shit."

Of course he'd only be around when I'm not. After taking a pull from my cigarette, I placed it in the ashtray. "Well the next time he come and I ain't here tell him I just left and if he asks questions don't respond."

"Chrez, ya pops is an OG, we could never disrespect that man." Keeis said.

"JUST DO WHAT THE FUCK I SAID!" My fist slammed on the table.

Keeis looked at me like I'm crazy. "Naw nigga, how about you just put whatever the fuck you got going on, to the back of your mind and focus on what comes first. The fucking money!"

"Yeah fool." Hoody hit my arm. "We got a shipment coming in two weeks. We need you here and focused so that everything can get sent off to the right folks properly. Get ya head back right my dawg."

Sighing I sunk down in my seat. My phone vibrated in my pocket. I pulled it out and a smile almost peeled across my face but I quickly hid it.

An iMessage from Aubree sat on the screen. I glanced around at everybody, shockingly they were looking at me already. "The fuck y'all looking at?" I snapped.

"I think I know what the fuck is going on." Mijo said while getting up. "You got a girl don't you?"

"Nigga no."

"Stop lying! You was ready to smile from ear to ear when you pulled out yo phone. The only time I'm ready to smile when I look at my phone is when it's 3 things, my kids, my money or some Pussy. So either that was Royalty, or like I said you got a bitch."

My jaw clinched at him calling her out of her name.

"Damn Mijo you might be on to something." Keeis said.

"Look did we come here to talk about my private life or to discuss money?" I asked.

"Oh now you wanna discuss money?!" Mijo said while laughing.

These niggas irritate my soul.

"My nigga Pussy whiiiiiiipped!" Hoody yelled.

Hell yeah I am. "No the fuck I'm not. I wish y'all motherfuckas mind y'all business."

"What's her name bro, I need pictures. She got kids, naw scratch that everybody got kids in 2018, do she got a fucking job cause you love picking up bitches that's on unemployment then cry like a bitch when you gotta take care of them. I already know she half Chinese those the only hoes you fuck for some strange ass reason." Mijo ran his mouth.

My nose flared and I twisted my lips listening to him ramble on. "She not half Chinese." I laughed.

"Well she half something cause I know you not fucking with a full African American girl."

"Why wouldn't I?"

"Because you never do." Keeis laughed.

"Black chicks are headaches, I don't blame the nigga." Sinko said.

"Black women are goddesses. A black woman birthed yo black ass!" Mijo said leaving Sinko with nothing else to say. "Y'all just can't control them like you want to and don't like that shit."

"Well she is African American, WITH a job, and no children." I said.

"You lying! Every bitch got a kid nowadays." Keeis said.

"Well she don't."

"Well let us see a pic then." He insisted.

I smiled while shaking my head. I've told them enough. "Nah, y'all good."

"We gone see her one day. You seem serious as hell about her. She got you cheesing and shit." Hoody said. "Show us a pic bro."

"Like you said you'll see her one day."

"Chreeeeez, come on nigga."

I unlocked my phone and scrolled through the last pick I took of her.

Then slid the phone over to them.

"Bro you lyiiiiing! This ain't yo girl. She too fine for yo ugly ass." Keeis said.

"That's all me."

"You googled his picture. She look way out of yo league."

"What you mean?"

"I know for a fact she not putting up with none of the bullshit you be on."

"I don't be on no bullshit. I told myself the next chick I'm feeling I'm making mine and she gone be my wife. Aubree In a whole different caliber bro." I pulled at my goatee thinking about how lucky I am. "I'm not on no bullshit this time."

"Well I'm about to call her." Mijo said.

I jumped out my seat and tried to rush down to him.

"Hello." I heard Aubree say.

"Hey how you doing?" Mijo responded. I looked down at April's face since this fool face timed her. When she saw me in the screen she smirked.

"I'm good how are you?"

"I'm great baby. My name is Mijo but you can call me daddy."

I smacked that fool so hard across his fat head.

"Nice to meet you Mijo." She said while laughing. "I'm Aubree."

"Oh I know you who are. Chris tried to keep you a secret and I see why." He flicked his tongue at her.

"You really trying to die tonight." I said.

"I'm just fucking with you bro chill."

"How you doing Aubree, I'm Hoody." He put his big head in the camera.

"I'm good, how are you?"

"I'm good."

"And I'm Keeis since we doing a meet and greet." Keeis waved.

"Hello."

I looked over at Sinko and he just looked like he didn't care as he scrolled through his phone.

"So Aubree when you gone have us over for a little kickback? I hope you can cook and shit." Mijo said.

"I definitely can cook and whenever you guys want to come you're more than welcome."

"Shes so proper 'you're more than welcome.' Alright, how about next weekend? Can I bring this little tenderoni I just met? I'm trying to show her the finer things in life."

Aubree laughed. "As long as she ain't got a bad attitude she can come."

"She chill, you ain't got nothing to worry about."

"I'm bringing my girl too then. Shit we all should just bring our girls. Sinko you sliding through?" Hoody asked.

"Them motherfuckas might not even be dating next week. You know how this nigga change bitches." Sinko answered causing me to squint my eyes.

"Damn you acting like a bitter ex right now. Why you trying to throw my mans under the bus like that?" Keeis asked.

Sinko just flicked his wrist at him.

"Don't pay that nigga no mind Aubree. That's our special Ed friend Sinko. His momma ask us to hang around him so he'll feel important." Mijo told her.

We all started laughing.

"I didn't even hear most of what he said but I'm really not worried either." She responded.

"Chris my nigga, I like her." Hoody said.

"Me too." Mijo said. "If her food good, then she family."

"Alright, let me speak to my baby. She gotta get up for work in the morning." I took my phone. "Everybody say bye."

"Bye Aubree." They all yelled...well except Sinko.

I took my phone back to my office. "My bad baby, I didn't know those crazy niggas was gone bother you."

"It's cool, I like them. How long you gone be there?"

"About an hour or two. Me and Ro wanted to come over."

"Okay....I have something for you anyway."

My eyebrows furrowed. "What?"

She pulled her phone back, she was naked this whole time! "When I saw that wasn't you I quickly covered up."

"Damn girl." I laughed. "Well I'll definitely be there in an hour."

"I'll be waiting."

"Okay, see you then."

"See you." She hung up. Then I headed back out.

"Y'all went and had phone Sex real quick?" Mijo asked.

I flipped him off then sat down. "Sinko, what's up with all the slick talk? Why would you say that shit while they on the phone with my girl?"

"Cause it's the truth. You get bored easily. She just another bitch added to the rotation. I'm sure you still talk to them other hoes you be fucking with."

"Naw, cut them bitches off weeks ago. Those kid games, I ain't got time."

He laughed. "Okay."

"Keeis right, you is acting like a bitter ex." I stood up grabbing my shit. "Say some more stupid shit around my girl and ima knock you clean the fuck out, fat ass bitch...I'm gone." I headed for the door.

"Where you going nigga?!" Keeis yelled.

"To eat my girl Pussy, bitch." I walked out slamming the door.

These niggas...man.
