Meech
'Meech ?'
'What happened ?'
'Ion know he just passed out outta nowhere. Hol up, don't touch him. Fuck is that white stuff on his shirt ?'
'Is he waking up?'
I slowly opened my eyes and sat up from the floor, looking around in confusion.
'Baby are you okay ?' Nyier asked me as her and everyone else stood around me. I didn't answer her and began to stand up.
'I'm coo. ' I spoke, looking at my shirt before instantly pulling it over my head.
'What's that shit on yo shirt bro ? You fuckin wit crackheads now ?' Dope asked and I shook my head, going over to a trashcan and trowing it away before going upstairs to take a shower.
Nyier followed me up the steps and went into the restroom with me. She sat on the toilet seat as I stripped out of my clothes and got in the shower.
'What's going on Meech ?' I heard her ask from the other side of the curtain.
'Ion know. You know the message that everybody got from that person ?'
'Yea.'
'Same person showed up to me at the mall, damn near threatened me and told me to come back there at three. I'm a show up. Avery told me that he would handle it but he been sayin that shit a lot lately, so I'm a jus show up and see what's the deal. '
'Whatever you do just be safe okay. '
'More like whatever WE do. Ay get dressed. '
Kenny
'This a whole bunch of shit man and I ain't even close to done.'
I set another full suitcase down and sat down on the bed, wiping my face with my shirt before pulling it off over my head and setting it down beside me.
I heard the doorbell ring downstairs and my eyebrows scrunched up. I checked my phone and saw that it was getting late. Getting up, I went down the stairs to the front door and opened it.
'Kenny .' My eyes widened when I came face to face with a cheesing Maria standing on the porch.
'Maria ?'
'Oh that's fabulous, so you do remember me. ' She said, pushing past me and strutting into the house.
She turned around and pulled a gun out of her purse, pointing it at me. 'That's unfortunate.'
Avery
'Give it back .. I'm not playing.'
'I'm not playing.' I mocked Erin's little voice while holding her phone high up above her.
She jumped up and tried to snatch it back but wasn't able to. Not giving up, she tackled my waist and we both fell onto the bed. She climbed over me and grabbed her phone from my hand. I wrapped my arms around her thighs and bit at her stomach, kissing it afterwards.
'Stop .' She whined, trying to wiggle her legs out of my grip but was unsuccessful in attempt.
'You deleted it ?' I asked her.
'No.' She giggled, letting it be known that she was obviously lying.
'Quit perpin.' I kissed my teeth and let her go. She sat up and scooted down so that she was straddling my lap.
I took the phone from her, seeing that she deleted the video I recorded of her dancing around all goofy like.
'You was finna be mad .' I laughed, giving her phone back.
'You always playing Avery, damn. ' She chuckled.
'Watch yo mouth. ' I said, biting my lip and grabbing handfuls of her ass.
'I can curse at you.'
'Nah you can't curse at me.' I said, mocking her voice.
'You know what ..' She playfully snapped leaning down and biting at my lip. She kissed me afterwards and I wasted no time in kissing her back.
My phone started to ring beside us and I picked it up, answering without really looking at the caller ID.
'Yo ?'
'Wow Avery, I didn't know that you were the type to answer private numbers so fast.' A familiar voice said, chuckling afterwards.
'Fuck you want ?' I asked and Erin raised an eyebrow at me. I looked at her and didn't say anything, waiting for Maria to speak.
'It's not really about what I want, rather than what Kenny wants. You know I'm in his and La'Niya's house ? It's so nice.'
'Where the fuck is Kenny ?'
'He's around. Not really in the best condition though.'
I pinched the bridge of my nose and closed my eyes, cursing her out inside of my head.
'I swear if you touch-'
'Oh it's too late for that .' She cut me off. 'It's just a matter of if I'll do it again before you make it here .. I'd suggest you leave out right now. ' She spoke and before I could say anything she hung up.
I tossed my phone back on the side of me and sighed.
'Gimme a kiss.' I told Erin and she pecked my lips.
'I love you.'
'Avery what's going on ?'
'Kenny in trouble and I gotta get back home.' I answered.
'Okay let's go. ' She said, getting up from my lap.
'Erin you need to stay here wit cha folks. ' I told her, sitting up.
'What ?'
'Ion want nun ta happen to you man. Stay out here and I'll tell you when to come back.'
'No I'm coming with you okay. I'm worried about you. ' She paused. ' You're not leaving me here. '
'Erin-'
'I don't care. ' She cut me off. 'I'm coming. '
I sighed and kissed my teeth. 'A'ight Erin, do what chu want. But ion want chu around nun hectic so you gotta stay yo ass in the house.'
'Okay.' She nodded.
'A'ight c'mon we ain't got a lot of time. '
Meech
It's been an hour or so and was now three o'clock in the morning. I showed up outside the mall, knowing good and well that she didn't mean three o'clock in the middle of the day.
I got out of my car and leaned against it, looking Maria up and down.
'You're smart. ' She cheesed. 'That's good, I need you to be smart . '
'Shut the fuck up. '
'That temper ..' She shook her head, walking up to me. 'It's sexy. '
I looked around the lot at the few cars that strayed around .
'Looking for something ?'
'What chu want ?' I asked, trying to make her get to the point.
'I said are you looking for something . ' She spoke more aggressively.
'And I said what chu want .' I told her in a nonchalant tone.
'Don't make this difficult. Tell me who you came with or I'll make sure you die right here. '
'Sounds like you ain't alone either.' I chuckled. 'You make sure I die, I'll sure you die too. Fuck with me.'
'Oh if only. ' She said sarcastically, stepping closer.
'Don't fuckin touch me man.' I snapped and she stepped back, seeming surprised.
'What are you scared now ? Well I had to make sure you were taking me seriously. At least you know. But enough with the chat , I wanna talk to you . '
'Talk.' I said, placing my hands in my pockets.
'You know Avery Chandler, si ?' She asked and I stayed quiet.
'Well I want you to kill him.'
'What ?'
'Kill him .. she started off, pulling out her phone. 'Or you can kiss your amigo goodbye.' She sneered, showing me a picture of Kenny chained up in a chair. He looked beaten up and he looked as if he was unconscious with tape on his mouth. About four large men surrounded him in the picture.
'Him, Avery, and your wanna be little sister La'Niya who's got that baby in her stomach.' She pouted .
'I know, it's sick but ... life is sick Meech. Marcus knows'
With that she walked away and got back in the car, driving off along with three other cars behind her .
'Fuck.'
