"Again, another $500 on it." Some little nigga said picking the dice up off the floor. Shaking my head I watched as the dice fell out his hands to the floor landing on 3-2-6.

"Beat that." The little nigga said causing me to smirk as the room got quiet. Bending down I picked up the dice shaking my hand, blowing on my fist. Looking the nigga straight in his eyes I smirked at the sound of the dice falling and hitting the wall.

"4-5-6! Pay up little nigga." Bash said as I shrugged my shoulder looking at the little nigga's facial expression. Pulling my jeans up I watched as he slowly ran towards me quickly punching him in his jaw causing him to fall down.

"Sucka ass nigga." I said out loud stepping over the nigga picking up the money from the floor.

"Damn East! That's foul, he my little brother." Some nigga said as if that was suppose to mean something to me. "So?" I said focusing my attention on the nigga getting closer to him as he remained quiet. Pulling my gun from my waist band I pointed the barrow on the side of his head.

"Nigga I don't even fucking know you. You and your bitch ass brother lucky we in a room full of people." I spoke smacking him with the butt of the gun causing him to fall down besides his brother. "Pussy ass niggas." I said out loud shaking me head tucking my gun away.

"Yo East you a fucking hot head." I heard causing me to look in the other direction.

"Oh shit Baby, was good." I said dapping my little nigga up. "You ain't have to do all that." He said pointing towards the crowd. "I had to tho." I told him shrugging my shoulders. Niggas know not to play with me especially when it comes to money.

"Fuck his little brother doing trying to run up on me? His little ass lucky I ain't put a bullet in the middle of his head." I spoke truthfully as both Bash and Baby shook they heads at me.

" You fucking wild. Can we go upstairs now?" Bash asked annoyed causing me to suck my teeth.

"Man them bitches ain't going anywhere relax." I told him truthfully as he sucked his teeth.

"You coming up?" I asked looking at Baby and he nodded his head no. "Nah I gotta clean ya mess up, then I'm heading home. Some shawty waiting for me at home. I just came down here to shut this shit down." He spoke as I chuckled nodding my head.

"My fault, but security need to stop letting these sucka ass niggas down here. Butt hurt cause they lost a band." I said as Baby shook his head.

"be safe little nigga." I told him giving him a dap.

Making our way upstairs to the club I heard our names being called. "East knocking niggas out come in man, making my job hard!" The security guard said moving to the side.

"Stop letting these weak ass nigga play." I told him as we walked towards our section.

"Damn this shit packed." Shawn said as I nodded my head. I wasn't surprised tho. This was the spot in New York. Plus shit just started clearing up since the whole pandemic and New York City was finally open for real this time.

"I knew I smelt money." I heard causing me to look and see my lil cousin. "Oh shit Sarai. What you doing here?" I asked giving her a hug.

"Same reason you here, bitches." She said causing me to laugh. "How's everything tho? You good?" I asked getting serious as she nodded her head.

Sarai was my little cousin. She was the only female in my family I fucked with besides my mother. So I definitely went hard for her. What ever she needed or wanted best believe I was gifting it to her.

"Gay ass bitch." Bash spoke.

"Bitch bye, I know you still ain't mad cause I took your bitch." Sarai said as Bash sucked his teeth. "Man ain't no one stressing that bitch." He said sounding salty causing me to laugh.

"Who you here with?" I asked as Sarai pointed causing me and Bash to look.

"These two in love motherfuckers." Bash said as we made our way over to Bag and his shawty Kimberly.

"Ya could stop this shit." Bash said purposely sitting in between them causing Bag and Kim to laugh.

"Nigga mad cause no bitch want his dirty dick ass." Kim said cause all of us but Bash to laugh.

"Bag get your girl." He complained as I just shook my head.

"Hi East." Kim said as I gave her a hug and did a lil handshake with Bag.

"Was Kimmy, how's Noel?" I asked referring to her daughter.

"She good." She said as I nodded my head.

"Bitch go get it back in blood!" I rapped along bobbing my head to Pooh Shiesty song. We had only been here for a good hour and I was already tired and over this whole shit.

Leaning over the banister I looked around the club till my eyes landed on a familiar figure sitting at the bar throwing shots back. Pushing my eyesbrows together I was kind of shocked.

"Where you going?" Samantha some joint asked as I ignored her making my way to the bar.

"If it isn't Emerald Young herself." I spoke as I approached her watching her throw back another shot. "What you doing down here by yourself?" I asked as she poured more patron in the shot glass ignoring me.

Locking my lips I watched as she held the shot glass up tossing it back.

"Sarai and Kim know you here?" I asked and she shook her head no. "Want me to get them?" I asked and she shook her head no.

"Four years. Gave that nigga four years." She slurred finally lifting her head up looking at me I noticed she had tears flowing down her cheeks. Signaling for the bartender to take the bottle from her

"Come with me." I told her grabbing her arm pushing through people making our way out the club.

As soon as we got outside and the cold cool air hit us Emerald threw up. "Damn ya need me to call Dom?" The security asked causing me to wave him off.

"You good?" I asked and she nodded her head turning around to walk back in the club. "Nah I'm taking you home." I said pulling her towards my car.

Putting her seatbelt on I got in the driver seat. Bash was gon have to ride with Bag and Kim. Sending him a quick text I pulled out the lot. "I'm assuming your going to your parents crib?" I asked and she shook her head no.

"They don't know I'm here." She said hiccuping. As I nodded my head.

"I should have listened to you." She said as I looked at her not knowing what she was talking about being as I haven't spoken or saw her in four years.

"You told me not to go. You said he was a bum. I didn't listen tho. I was too scared and believed all the rumors about you. I took the easy way out and still got my heart broken." She said as I just kept quiet not knowing what to say.

Pulling into the parking garage I parked my lamb truck next to my black Bentley Bentayga and the Tackhawk. Turning the car off I looked over and noticed this girl was sleep. Shaking my head I got out the car walking towards the other side picking Emerald up. Closing and locking the door I made my way into the building using my key fob to get to the penthouse suite.

Feeling my phone buzz I pulled it out my pocket I read the message on the screen.

Chanel 🤞💗 : @ya place hurry the fuck home quick 🤬
