"That's it brother?"

"Stop sayin that shit to me I'm not yo fucking brother"

"You ain't my Nigga neither big bro" I said as I walked around the island & stood across from him on the other side of the island

He looked at me funny

"I already told you what was up"

I chuckled "nigga this don't seem like it"

"Ion know what to tell you then"

"What do you mean? The other day you was just like you're my girl you didn't ask or nothing but then you're sitting here acting like this" I said to him

"Which is bout to lead to an argument Nigga"

"Ight bro I'm bout to dip" i said walking out the kitchen & to his room

I grabbed my stuff

I just stared at him

"I just tried to & now ion want to"

"I just tried to you said you wasn't bout to argue with me" I said

"Ight ion do the relationship shit never been in one foreal so you gotta take it slow with me I gotta get used to this shit" he said as he held onto my waist as he pulled me into him

"So why get into a relationship then"

He smacked his lips "I ain't want no other Nigga in yo face or pushin up on you if it ain't me I ain't wanna see you with no one else & the only fuckin way that could happen was if I got with yo ole small ass"

He said as he stared dead at me

It was a look I never seen him give me or anyone

"Ion know bout allat ma" he said letting go of me

"Yeah okay" i said still walkin to the door

"Where are you going?" He asked me

"Leaving going home" I said as I opened the door

Rondo & Roman stood infront of the door

Rondo just gave me a look

"Hey sissy" Roman said smiling at me & coming in hugging me

I smiled "hey bookie"

"Hi rondo" i said to rondo

"Wussup with you" he said coming in too

"Why you Niggas just standing outside the door" Tae asked

"Right when the door opened we walked up Nigga" rondo said dapping him up

"Was you bout to leave?" Roman asked me

"Yeah"

"Stay until we leave" she said

"Ion wanna be here by myself with them two" she added on

Tae looked at me with a grin

"Yeah"

"Thank you girl" she said walking further in the house

I closed the door & locked it

I mugged Tae as I walked passed him & to Roman who sat on the couch

"What's tea sissy? Y'all together yet?" She asked me

I looked at her as I kicked my shoes off & put my feet up on the couch

"Yeah".

"See me & rondo been talking about it & he's talkin about Tae would never be able to bag her & you're not his type & look at y'all" she said

"I'm not his type? What" I said laughing

"That's what rondo said" she said shrugging her shoulders

"He's something else"

"What was y'all doing today?"

"Nothing we was chilling" i said looking at my milky white nails

"We'll be back" rondo said

"Where the fuck y'all going?" Roman asked

"We gotta go up to the shop" Tae said looking at me

"How the fuck y'all just gon leave us" Roman asked

"Cause there's crazy shit going on yo there if you wanna come come" rondo said

"I wanna go" I said getting up & putting my foam runners back on

Tae grabbed his keys

I grabbed my mini black Marc Jacobs tote bag

I walked over to Tae

"I look good?" I asked him making the duck lips

"You always do" he said as he pecked my lips

"Pur" i said as he opened the front door

I walked out & to the elevator waiting for them

"Why yall going to the shop?" I asked them

"Don't worry about it" rondo said

Tae pressed the elevator button.

The elevator came & we all got on

"Why can't we know?" Roman asked

"Y'all going ain't y'all? Y'all will find out when we get there" rondo said

"Chill" Tae said looking over at him then back at the elevator

The elevator stopped on the second floor

The door opened & it was two dark skin girls

They are so pretty

One had her natural curly hair out with just lashes on she was the prettiest

She smiled showing her braces

"Sorry y'all" she said getting in the elevator

"You good" Roman said as she hit rondo's arm because he was staring at the other girl like he ain't have his girl right the fuck here

Tae was looking down at his phone

"Hey Tae" the darkskin girl that said sorry said to Tae

He looked up & licked his lips

"Wussup girl"

"Nun much how you been?"

"I been straight how bout you?"

"Good" she said smiling

She gave him a look & looked back at me

I gave her a slight smile

She didn't give one back

We got to the lobby & we all got out

Me & Roman started walking with each other out the lobby

"That bitch wants Tae girl"

"Huh?"

"I know that look she either wants him or been fucking with him"

I looked back behind us thinking they was with us but they wasn't

They were still at the elevator talking to the girls

With big ass smiles on their faces

Rondo was all in ole girls face

Roman started walking back over to them

I followed her

"What y'all talking about?" Roman asked

"Oh we're just getting socials I went to school with them before I moved away" one girl said smiling all hard handing Tae back his phone

I smiled

Tae looked over at me

I rolled my eyes

"Yeah I didn't know you had a kid" the girl with a big butt said

Roman chuckled

"Ight well yall ready?" Roman asked them

"Yeah" rondo said

"But aye bring yo son to the shop I'll get em right" Tae said the the girl with the braces

"I definitely will what days you be there"

"Everyday slide through"

"I will" she said smiling

I walked off

Roman was way ahead of me

She's pissed off

We walked out the doors of the lobby

Roman walked to rondos car

I walked to Tae's all white with tinted windows charger & black rims

He unlocked the doors

I got in & so did he

"Don't trip on me she only asked if I can do her sons hair" he said

"Ok"

I'm not trippin it's not like ion believe him but the way she was looking at him made it seem like something more

"You believe me?"

"Yeah" i said lowly as we drove off

His phone connected to the car & played music

I looked down at my phone

I saw Sani calling my

I answered smiling

"Hi sissy" she said in a low tone

"Hi Sani you ok?" I asked her as I put my headphones on

"Yeah just really tired sorry I couldn't make your graduation my grandma died"

"It's ok Sani I saw you on FaceTime with mom have you seen talked to her she's getting better"

"Yeah she looks happier that we're not in her life now don't you think?" She asked me looking for an honest answer

But I just couldn't give it to her because ion ever want her feeling like that even though it's true

I sat there & thought about if I want to tell her or not

"Yeah but it's okay we got our dads & each other we shouldn't be worried about our past" I said lowly

Tae pulled up to the shop with Hellas niggas hanging outside of it

Cars on

& people smoking

"Yeah yeah ima call you later it's time for me to eat" she said sounding sad

Maybe she wasn't looking for the truth

"Oh okay I love you I'll call you & make sure you answer" i said to her

"Yeah bye" she said hanging up

I looked down at my phone & sat my phone in my lap

I hope she's not trying to take it out on me she hasn't been calling me lately & when she does it's always so short or she has an attitude

"You good?"

"I'm fine"

He parked the car

I opened the door & got out

"Erin?" Blu asked me across the parking lot

I posed with my duck lip's & throwing up the peace sign

"You ready?" Tae asked me

I nodded my head

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing Tae" i said lowly

"You bout to tell me what happened later" he said as we walked up to everyone

"Wussup with y'all" ji asked dapping Tae up & giving me a hug

"Whatchu mean?" Tae asked dapping up other people

"Y'all always together & shit what y'all got going on" Gk asked

"Shit this my shordy" Tae said as he looked down at his phone

"Yeah about time yo ass bagged her" some nigga said

He had red curly hair it's very pretty with hazel brown eyes & freckles all over his face he was brown skin & tattoos all over his body

His curly hair was in a sloppy bun on top of his head

Tae mugged him "yo ass been in prison for two years fuck is you talm bout?"

"You know my big brother tells me shit" red hair guy said

"Ight Red" Tae said walking in the shop leaving me outside

"What yo name is?" I'm guessing the red guy said to me

I smiled "Erin"

"Wussup I'm red yo ass mad pretty" he said to me

"Awe thank you I love your hair"

"Perciate it you know how to braid?"

"Yeah"

"You tryn to braid mines?"

"I can"

"How much?"

"Uhh" I started to say until Gk cut me off

"Don't say for free neither lil nigga"

"$40?"

"Ight" he said getting up

"Oh you want it done right now?"

"Yeah"

"Ion have my stuff though" i said to him

"I'm sure ole girl in there can let you borrow her shit" blu said as he got his blunt

"Ok" i said lowly

I followed behind red inside the shop

It was nice for them to be selling drugs & trapping in & out of here

All the barber stations were full there were two girls sitting at chairs on their phones

They looked like they had their own booth too

"Aye Erin needs to use one of y'all's stuff so she can braid my hair" red said to the girls

"I said I could do it" one girl said

"Hell nah you just said you ain't good at braiding I'm coo" he said to her

"Whateva red shit is in that drawer right there" she said as she rolled her eyes

I grabbed the wide tooth comb , rack tail comb & the gel

I walked to the empty booth & sat the stuff down as he came & sat down too

He had his shirt off showing off all his tattoos.

I took my bag off & sat it behind me

I took his hair out the bun

His hair was real soft & really curly

He got some healthy ass curls

While mines is heat damaged as fuck

"You mix with anything?" I asked him as I started combing out his hair.

"Nah just black" he said lowly scrolling on ig

"Oh"

"You?"

"Blasian"

"Of course This nigga fucks with a blasian girl" he said loudly so everyone in the shop heard him

I chuckled a little concerned

Tae walked out the back room looking dead at me

"Really red?"

"She said she knew how to braid y'all need to get her in here braiding hair these other two ain't good for shit" he yelled at Tae

"Nigga you run half of the shop you hire someone cause it ain't gonna be erin" Tae said to him

I started on one of the braids

"Erin you're hired this yo booth too right next to yo niggas" red said

Tae looked at him crazy "niggas need to go back to prison Nigga you're trippin"

"Nah baby I'm out for good I'm tryn to change so yo ass lucky I'm not taking yo bitch" red said

Tae looked like he wanted to beat his ass

Big meechie walked in the shop

"Wussgood with you little niggas" he said to everyone

"Red gotta go" Tae said

"Tae you gotta go" his dad said to him

Tae mugged him

"You always starting some crazy ass shit" his dad said again

"Fuck is you talm bout" Tae said again confused

"Come with me Lemme talk to you" he said to Tae

Tae got up & walked to the back with him

I finished the second braid

"What you see in that Nigga but his looks" red asked me laughing

"I don't know"

The girls & red busted out laughing

"You got a long trip with him until you are able to leave his ass lil mama be prepared" he said lowly

I laughed it off a little bit.

Hours later....

"What he say to you?" I asked Tae as I walked back in his room with our drinks from chick fil a

I sat his on the nightstand by his side

I walked to the side I was on & sat down

"About Lo" he said playing the game with his shirt off

I love his tattoos

"What about him"

"They know it's someone on this side that did it" he said as he focused on the game

I took a sip of my lemonade

I put it on the side table & laid down in the bed

I scooted closer to him

I laid my head on his chest

"They're not going to know who it was if you don't say anything"

"I'm not" i said lowly

I watched him play the game

"Don't over think it then"

"I'm not"

"I feel you shaking mamas" he said lowly

"Calm down" he said again

"I feel like a horrible ass person"

"That's how you're going to feel the first couple of times but you can't do shit about it now it happened you can't go back & change anything" he said

I stayed quiet

I closed my eyes & drifted off to sleep
