The next morning there was Krispy Kreme donuts by my face and coffee. I sat up and tried to see threw my swollen eyes from crying the night before. Something dropped across the room and Gabby was standing there looking at me like she was about to cry.

"What the fuck happen to your neck ?" she asked getting angry.

" Is that why you were crying last night. I know it wasn't a female by the way you whooped Bianca ass last night . So what nigga did this to you . Please don't tell me you one of those weak bitches because if you are I can't fuck with you" she yelled shaking me. I just looked down and touched my neck forgetting all about it. All day yesterday it was covered with make-up and I kicked myself before I explained what happened the day before. She was really acting concerned and I barely knew the chick. Before she could respond Brittney came in and jumped on the bed smiling.

" What's up ladies" she said giggling. She kept giggling and breathing heavy trying to get our attention. I started smirking and looked at her.

" I know you want to tell us about your night so spill it" I said trying to forget about my previous conversation. She jumped up and sat on the floor in front of us and smiled really wide.

" Well last night he took me to the beach and then we went back to his house and talked all night. He was so sweet and so gentle. "

She said looking at us. Gabby and I looked at each other then busted out laughing. She frowned at us looking like we were crazy.

" What's so funny? " she said getting mad.

" He a lame just like you " I said walking to the bathroom relieving myself and washing my hands. When I got back to the room Brittney was beating Gabby with a pillow. They were laughing so I just sat on the bed and began eating the donuts next to me.

" So did you guys really just sit and talk all night?" I asked in between bites. She began to smile.

" Yes bro that's it. He wasn't like any guy that I meet before and i could see myself being with him. Who knows where this thing can go."

I tilted my head and frowned. " What the fuck are you going to do? Bring him to Texas with you? You not staying here so that's your only choice, plus your a hoe he won't last long" I said joking.

She looked at me and seemed really upset. I really didn't see what the big deal was when they just meet yesterday. He wasn't even all that to be stressing over. We all got quiet and just sat in our thoughts for a few moments. Brittney got up and sat next to me wrapping her arm around me.

" Your just jealous aren't you? But its okay best friend because one day you will have your first boyfriend and man of your dreams." she said with a smile taunting me.

Gabby looked at me in confusion with her eyebrows scrunched together. " You never had a boyfriend and your 22" she asked completely shocked.

I shook my head and got embarrassed. When I was younger all I ever did was try to please my father. Nothing and no one was good enough for me unless he said so. The older I got I just got lonely and wanted more but I never did or said anything about how I felt.

"Well lets go find you a man bitch" Gabby said suddenly. I looked at her and laughed at her. She couldn't be serious right now? Ignoring them talk about my nonexistent love life like I wasn't even in the room. I went to shower and got ready for the day. I had on distressed blue jean shorts,a black shirt with red writing, and black sandal heels. Gabby borrowed a white maxi dress and sandals from Brittney who wore a plain black shirt, white shorts, and black sandals with rhinestones. Gabby looked over at my feet and laughed.

" Do you wear heels everyday?" I looked down and chuckled.

" Yes I do? I even have a pair of heels for house shoes." We all laughed and Brittney looked down and said " she really does and I will never understand how she does it.

"Why?" Gabby asked sitting on the bed looking at her phone.

"It gives me confidence and makes me feel sexy. I don't have a big ass and I'm not Beyoncé , so my confidence is my biggest weapon" I said with my head high and making sure my posture was straight. They laughed at me and Gabby pushed me shaking her head.

" My brother was right about you ! You are really boogie but its cool since the Migos said it was okay."

Brittney died laughing like it was the funniest joke in the world and I mugged both of them .

"Joe wants to meet up . It's not like we had plans or something " Brittney said with a shrug. I looked at her and was ready to snap when Gabby got up and butted in.

" Well lets got to the trap house and surprise them. There's a bunch of niggas we can pick for our little baby Mila ".

I rolled my eyes but got up because I knew they wouldn't let me just stay here .

We followed her out the door and headed to her car. She had a light blue Volkswagen beetle convertible. Brittney pinched me before I got in the car and said " slug bug no pinch back!"

I rolled my eyes and pushed her to get in the back since she wanted to be childish. We listened to music and viewed the city on the way to the trap. We got to this rusty neighborhood and stopped at this two story run down house. I was almost scared to get out because I just knew this place had roaches and rats crawling around wild and free.

When we got to the door we smelt nothing but weed and the smoke slapped us in the face. We were greeted and the men in there lusted after us like they never seen women before. Gabby led us to the back room where there was a meeting going on.

"We trying to branch out and do business with New York. My father already has Texas, Louisiana and Florida on lo.... What the fuck do you want" Gabriel said looking up at us noticing us walk in the room. Joe got up and offered Brittney his seat and Gabriel looked as if he was about to lose his cool. Gabby walked over to him and hugged him.

" We just came to say hi big brother, I just wanted them to see Cali and all its beauty." Everyone snickered but it quickly died down with just one look from him.

" We don't know those two bitches so therefore they don't need to be here" he said glaring at me. I rolled my eyes and sighed while looking at my nails.

" Boy you are so loose at the mouth with that bitch word. I know your mom taught you better than to disrespect your elders" I said as calm as I could. He walked over to me and we stood toe to toe.

" Well Bitch I don't like you now get the fuck out" he said grinding his teeth. Before I could think twice I slapped him so hard that my hand went numb. He touched his face and smiled at me in way that made my spine tingle.

"Everybody get out" he said with a growl. Everyone moved but Joe, Ty, Gabby, and Brittney. He began to move closer but when he got to close I had a knife poking his stomach. Looking down he smirked and backed up with his hands up. Everyone just stared at us and Ty just blurted out and yelled " will you too fuck and get it over with already" trying to lighten the mood. We continued to make eye contact and he laughed after looking me up and down.

" I wouldn't dare touch her little ass" he said still laughing. I raised my eyebrow and starting laughing with him.

" As if you could ? " I said making him smirk at me like he was amused. He stepped closer and invaded my personal space.

" Oh yeah! If I wanted you I could have you butt ass naked in the front room in front of everyone begging me to let you taste my dick."

I took a step back and put my hands on my hip.

" Boy if only you knew! If I wanted you , you would be somewhere in Texas shaking and ready to commit suicide because I wouldn't give you another taste" I said all cocky like I really knew much about sex. I have had sex before but all I ever did was missionary so I didn't know much. Jason only gave me a taste of what sex was like .

He smiled at me like he was up for the challenge before walking out the door rubbing his chin. I got scared after that and just sat down being left alone with my girls. Brittney leaned over towards me looking me in my eyes.

" Now bitch you know you are not about that life and you know he is going to tear your ass apart" she said smirking at me. I looked at the both of them giggling and slapping hands before I leaned back rolling my eyes.

" I never ran or backed down to no nigga so I don't care. I can show you better than I can tell you" I said trying to convince myself I could handle whatever he threw my way. Truth be told sex and boys are the only thing that terrifies me. The look in his eye let me know I had put myself in some big girl shoes I

wasn't ready for. Ready or not I had something to prove and I refused to back down now.

Childish ? Yeah ! But my pride was a powerful thing .
