Chapter 35
Hard To Love
Ky POV.
On my way back to the crib I stopped by Valencio's to pick up these blueprints.
He will be my silent partner behind all my decisions because we will need that casino to wash the millions we brought back from Jersey.
I parked my blacced out corvette on the street and walked into the building.
*ring - ring - ring*
"Yo boss" he picked up the phone.
"Yo I'm in the front I'll be up in a min"
"Ight Fosho"
I waited in the elevator till I hit the 30th floor. All I can say is I treat my people well.
I walked into the penthouse and saw his babymom laying on the couch.
"Hey kyy" she said waving at me smiling.
"Wassup Lisa" I nodded.
"Where v at?"
"He'll be out in a min I think he taking a call, you want water or anything?" She stood up.
"Nah I'm good thank you tho" I sat down next to the counter.
She nodded and walked into the bathroom.
"Look man I don't think she wanna talk to you" I heard him say in an irritated expression.
I walked towards the noise coming from the balcony.
"Y'all n*ggas gon get what's comin to you keep playin shit" he said into the phone.
"Who you talking to dawg" I looked at him.
He quickly put the phone on mute.
"It's Ri yo she saying she wanna talk to you" he looked at me like he wanted me to tell him what to do.
I reached for the phone and tilted my head towards the door so he could leave.
Once he walked out I put the phone to my ear.
"Hello" I said.
"Yo Ky how you been" she said nervously. I could feel it through the phone.
"What you want Ri" I put my thumb and index on my temples.
"I been tryna get in contact whichu a while now" she laughed nervously.
I said nothing.
"Jay in the hospital, blue catching a case right na, I just needed to see how you was doing you know make sure u straight for old time sake" she said.
I instantly felt a tight feeling in my stomach. Jays in the hospital.
"Why's she in the hospital" I asked curiously knowing I shouldn't have continued the conversation.
"She got leukemia Ky" she said as her voice saddened.
"What when?"
"Few months ago. She going through chemo right na but the treatments ain't working.. the real reason I called you is cause her final wish was to see you. I know you prolly don't wanna talk to her or any of us but I know the type of person you are. We grew up together don't forget that" she said.
Man fuck youRi..
"I don't know dawg" I said suspicious of this whole situation.
Did I really wanna see these people again.
Could I live knowing her last wish was to see me and she died without that.
She did me foul but is it the kind of betrayal where I would feel I need to leave her for dead?
"Im just the messenger; look ima send the details to Valencio you decide what you wanna do" she said.
I said nothing and hung up.
Fuck.
I walked back into Valencio home and handed him his phone back.
He looked at me and handed the blueprint.
I opened it and looked at it.
"This is perfect, thank you" I said to him.
"It's no prollem" he said.
I rolled the print back up and leaned on his island.
"you okay boss?"
"Im Ight it's jus some shit I might be going out of town for a few" I said.
"Oh Fosho you want me to whichu?"
"Nah dis sum I gotta do on my own" I said.
"I feel it boss let me know if you need anything" he said.
"Yeah.. Ight well ima hit you about the casino plan later I got some shit to figure" I dapped him up n left.
I walked outside and sparked up immediately taking the blunt from behind my ear.
*sigh*
I walked to my car and drove home quickly.
