We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give.

Mitch Zephyr

I groaned at the millionth text from Nobi and locked my phone without even reading it, she was annoying my soul. I moved up in line placing my order then moved to lean on the wall looking out the window to see Jace mean-mugging a group of niggas. I squinted my eyes and then walked out of the restaurant leaning on somebody's car wanting to know what was happening.

"Your girl is my girl and my girl is my only girl. Ain't that's how the song go?" Jace taunted in one of their face making me laugh.

"Niggas always tryna be funny until they missing one of their teeth, that smile ain't gon be so big then, huh?" One of the boys said making Jace turn his head toward him.

"Ya mouth gon be open wide as hell the way you sucking his dick." Jace chuckled making me smile and shake my head.

"Chill." One of the quiet ones said pushing him back since he got hyped over that comment.

"I used to torture little niggas like y'all in jail." He laughed. "If I smack you, I bet you he gets smacked off impact." 

"Test your theory." The hyped one said.

"Aight, walk out the camera. Follow me." Jace said nodding his head in another direction.

"Y'all niggas doing too much, you mad over a bitch and letting this nigga get under y'all skin. It's more important shit we could be doing right now and y'all wanna entertain some old head." The quiet one said looking at his group of three friends.

"Damn, you had to call me an old head? I'm only twenty-one." Jace shook his head. "I like you though lil nigga, what's ya name?" 

"Ruga."

"Excuse me?" Jace squinted his eyes making me laugh off his face.

"Ruga." The little nigga repeated.

"Like a gun? I fucks with it. You cool lil homie but you gotta drop ya niggas, they lame as fuck b." He said making me nod in agreement. 

I saw one of them shift and he sneakily slid his hand down into his hoodie pocket making me get off the car and walk over to them. I kicked the back of his knee then grabbed his arm making the .22 handgun he was gripping drop. Everybody looked at me wondering where I came from as I kicked the gun away and let the boy go.

"Damn, you was gon shoot me over a bitch? That's how you coming son?" Jace asked laughing looking down at him.

"Nigga, that's Mitch." One of them whispered said as the boy on the ground stood up and they stood together looking like they were bout to piss their pants.

"Y'all niggas acting scary as hell right now, he a regular nigga, calm down the fuck." The boy, Ruga, sucked his teeth glaring at them.

"I'm not understanding how y'all scared of this black ass nigga, I'm his big brah and he can't beat me," Jace smirked, making me laugh.

"Yeah aight bitch, I ain't no slouch."

"Of course not, you just can't beat me."

"We could put on the gloves when we get in the crib." I looked at him making him laugh.

"You got it, big bruh." He held his hands in surrender.

"Now, why are you arguing with these little niggas?" I asked, shaking my head.

"Lil nigga was arguing with his bitch, embarrassing her and shit in front of his niggas so I told shawty come fuck with a real nigga and you already know she ain't need no convincing as I put the mack down. So after I get her number, he started showing off again for his friends, these niggas ain't know who the fuck I am."

"They don't know who you are?" I instigated making him shake his head.

"They ain't know my name rings bells, they ain't know I just did a five year bid and I'm an angry black man who could end their life with one punch."

"Talk to em." I recorded him.

"Yeah so I call shawty back over right, making her smile, laughing do that little cute ass blush shit females be doing. I'm doing all this in his face so I could make it known his bitch mine now and you know what this nigga said?"

"What he say?" I asked still recording as I laughed.

"He could take my bitch so I had to correct him like who taking my baby girl from me? Where the fuck Sin going Mitch? I'll make her smack this nigga for me and she'll do it." 

"Damn, here go my baby girl calling me." I laughed as I declined the call. I walked back in the pizza parlor getting our food then walking back out.

"Say, how old are you?" I asked Ruga getting in the car.

"Seventeen." He answered.

"You go to school lil nigga?" Jace asked with one foot in the car and one out.

"Yeah, I go to school with Lee and Nobi. We know them." He said 

"Y'all know my lil brother Izzy?" Jace asked.

"Oh shit, you that nigga Jace and Arty ya big brother." The nigga with the gun said. "Oh my bad big brah, you could have my bitch."

I tilted my head and started rolling, these niggas some lames yo. 

"Y'all niggas some bitches but I fucks with y'all." Jace laughed finally getting in the car.

"You got a job?" I asked looking at Ruga again.

"Nah."

"You ever want to make some money, you know how to find us." Jace said before I pulled off.

I rolled my window up turning on the AC and leaning my chair back driving with one hand. I yawned feeling sleepy as Jace mocked my actions, I looked over at him and shook my head then smirked.

"Sin ya babygirl huh?" I asked making him smack his teeth and laugh.

"I knew you was recording me nigga I had to say something like that so she could fuck with me." He said making me laugh.

"You ain't shit."

"Nah, something wrong her for real Mitch. The other day we sleep and this bitch started having a tantrum throwing knives, lamps and other shit at me brah. I woke up out my sleep right as the lamp connected to my face, my bitch ass ran to the closet thinking somebody finally caught me lacking."

He stared at me blankly making me start laughing, I swerved the car before stopping at the red light as I couldn't stop myself from laughing. "What the fuck was in the closet?"

"Nigga, I don't know. I was just waking up, I was confused as hell yo." He shook his head.

"Why she do allat?"

"Cause I was texting other bitches but tell me why she ain't even go through my messages with the bitches. She went through messages with y'all brah, that bitch smart as hell."

"Oh shit." I laughed.

"She dropped my phone in the pool so I ain't say shit cause you know the my phone water resistant but I guess she remembered. Zeph why did her crazy ass dive in the pool then throw my phone against my car door son?" He shook his head.

"I was wondering why you had that little ass iPhone 5." I laughed harder.

"Since then she ain't been talking to me." He shook his head. "I miss her though, she the only female who could put up with me or ain't scared to knock my ass out. We be real-life squaring up, she be whooping my ass some days, no lie."

"How you be letting her beat your big ass up?"

"Don't underestimate her, she little as hell but evil as hell brah. I could push her ass across the room and she'll do some matrix shit and next thing you know she done knocked my big ass out." 

"Nah, Zenobia know better." I shook my head.

"Yeah aight lady Mitch know how to fight."

"I know she do." I shook my head. "She just not beating me."

"Nah, one day she gon whoop your ass and you not gon see it coming. My first day out, I'm bout to hug her but she done ran up on my sister beating her all types of crazy. I ain't even know what the fuck to say to Nisha, I still don't even know why Nobi beat her up like that."

"You know Lee is pregnant so Lee is more sensitive and shit now. One day, Nisha was blowing up her phone and calling her off of block numbers saying bullshit to her so Lee came in the house crying and shit and Nobi said it was on sight when she saw her."

"I ain't even know what to say to Nish son, I signed her up for boxing classes." He shook his head making me chuckle. "I fucks with Nobi though, she a gutta girl."

"Nah, that's the only thing I hate bout Nobi, she really thinks she could beat everybody. She gets mad so damn quick to the point she doesn't even exchange words, she just wants to fight then her mouth is disrespectful and she thinks somebody is supposed to just sit there and let her talk crazy."

"I fucks with it, some bitch talking crazy she the first person I'm calling."

"You gon be wasting ya time, she not fighting no more." I shook my head.

"Imma be mad as hell if you ever lose her, I know she's the one bro. Ain't nobody else in your life gon ever make you happy the way she does or ride for you like she is."

"When we first started this out, I didn't think it'll last cause she didn't even want it but once she start letting her guard down and really let me love her, I knew I had to keep her."

"I could tell." He nodded in approval. "You ever thought about going back to Redd?"

"Never," I answered immediately. "In the beginning, I compared Redd and Nobi and I came to the conclusion Redd ain't never love me, she loved what I did for her and how I made her feel. She loved that I paid for her surgeries, her shoes, her clothes, and her house. I was dumb for her but I loved shawty. I ignored everything y'all would tell me 'cause I felt like she was my soulmate." 

"Thank God, you finally dropped that bitch. I really hated her, we all did, even Arty." He shook his head.

"I'm grateful for Redd though, she led me to Nobi, the love of my love. I'm really in love with her bro."

"I ain't never love deep like that, only love I felt that strong was from you, Sef or Arty, not even on no gay shit. I got more love for you than my own mother and as sad as that shit sound, it's true. I'll die for my brother."

I looked at him as he was typing a message. "If it comes down to it, I'll die for my brother too."

"Believe that." He nodded. "I told you how I had to beat Izzy's ass the other day?"

"What?" I laughed. "Why?"

"I was holding Ava and he came in there on some tough shit like you said I ain't ya brother right? So you ain't no uncle to her, just talking out his ass. I looked at him then hooked his ass putting em to sleep, I guess that five year bid made him forget who the fuck I was."

"He know who Jason Alizé Fields is now." I instigated making him laugh.

"Chill Zephyr Taylor Brown." He called me by my full name getting out the car grabbing his food as I glared at his back getting out.

When we walked in the house, we went our separate ways. I grabbed a green tea out the fridge then walked towards my room hearing Zenobia loud ass laugh. I opened my door seeing her and Sin laying down having a conversation.

"Zenobia, you know better then to be letting animals on my damn bed." I glared at her.

"Suck ass Zeph, always starting with me. Goof ass little boy." Sin rolled her eyes never taking her eyes off her phone.

"Oh, your phone work?" I asked making both of them look at me weirdly.

"Yeah, why wouldn't it?"

"Since Jace been calling over and over, I'm not understanding why you not answering."

"Zeph, business," Nobi said, making me look at her.

"Nobi, come the fuck on man." I snapped getting mad.

"What?"

"Your shoes touching my sheets, that's nasty as hell son. Move so I could take my sheets off."

"Zeph, it's barely touching." She rolled her eyes.

"Aanvi, take your shoes off my bed." She rolled her eyes again but did as what I said as I handed her food.

"Say little bitch-" Sin yelled making me jump as I glared at her. "You can't fuck with me if you wanted too!"

"Why you jump like that?" Nobi asked laughing.

"Her dumb ass said that bitch hard as hell, retarded ass." I said sitting on my bed.

"If you a pussy, you get popped. You a groupie, you a opp." Sin looked at me making me smack my teeth.

"She bout to get out." I looked at Nobi.

"Why it take you so long?" Nobi asked eating her food.

"Jace stupid ass started arguing with some lil niggas."

"Should have whooped his ass." Sin mumbled.

"Why?" Nobi ignored her.

"Over some girl." I shook my head. "Oh yeah, you know some lil nigga named Ruga?"

"He tall and caramel with dreads?" She asked as I nodded. "Yeah, he's in my AP literature class." 

"That boy so damn smart, got a good head on his shoulders but he just hang around dumb asses." Sin added.

"Word, the tenth-grade year his friends said something disrespectful to me but he was telling them to chill but you already know my mouth." She laughed. "One of them put their hands on me so I got Izzy to beat them up."

"He trained both of them, he ain't touch Ruga though cause they were cool." Sin added.

"Aight, well that nigga Ruga might hit you up or something wanting to talk to me. If he do, give him my business number." I told Nobi.

"Why?"

"He wanna get with the money team."

"hE wAnnA gEt wiTh thE moNey tEam- get ya Mayweather wanna be ass out of here." Sin mocked making me stare at her blankly as Nobi laughed like it was the funniest thing ever.

"It's funny?" I asked making her laugh harder.

"No stink." She said tucking her lips in.

"Can we match?" Sin asked.

"Yeah, what you wanna wear?"

They started discussing shit that I didn't care about as I zoomed out, I uploaded the video of Jace and then started scrolling through Instagram. I heard Nobi call my name but I ignored her texting Sef back.

"Bitch, I know you fucking hear me." She threw a pillow at me and it made my phone fall on my face.

"I choose to ignore your pussy." I told her.

"Stop acting like you don't miss me." She jumped on me mashing our faces together.

"Nah, we be needing a break from each other, I be wanting to beat you up," I told her honestly.

"I don't care 'cause I bet you don't."

"Okay." I scoffed leaning back and putting both of my arms on the back of my head as I looked at her.

"Yo this is fucking dope, why am I just seeing this?!" Sin screeched making our attention go to her, I followed her eyes up to the mirror on the ceiling. "That's so fucking lit."

"Yes, sis." Nobi shook her head and held her hand in the air. "Especially when you having sex and you look up. Zeph and I have so many videos of us fucking in this mirror."

"My next boyfriend has to have one now." She shook her head. "I could picture it now."

"Jace got one in his room," I smirked.

"Who?"

"Bitchh!!" Nobi dragged out laughing.

"I don't love these niggas, I dust off these niggas." Sin sang putting her headphones in tuning us out.

"Are you going to help me pick out my outfit?" Nobi asked making me open one eye.

"No."

"Why?"

"You don't like what I be picking and I don't have time for you."

"Because you be picking sweatpants and shit Zeph." She frowned at me. "I be wanting to look cute and you be having me look like a bum."

Laughing, I looked at her still frowning. "Alright, I'll pick something out for real."

"Thank you baby." She leaned down grabbing the sides of my face as she connected our lips.

"Must be nice!! Can't relate!!" Sin said making both of us laugh.

"You would have it if you stop going off on Jace for no reason." I said making her raise a eyebrow.

"That's what he said?"

"Yeah he said you started bugging on him because he was talking bout other bitches."

"He too old to be lying." She shook her head grabbing her bag pulling out some makeup wipes, she wiped her jaw off slowly then looked at me. "You see this?"

It was like the whole right side of her face was bruised, you could see the purple and yellowish bruises covering her face making me squint and hold her face. "He did this?"

"Sin, you ain't tell me that." Nobi mugged.

"Let me tell y'all the real story." She sat up and crossed her legs. "After we had sex, we ordered food and when he went to go get it I started going through his phone. He came in and let me do me. I ain't find nothing so he laughed and we left it alone but he went through my phone and got mad at me talking to other niggas."

"They always do." Nobi rolled her eyes making me look at her. "Past experiences baby, the past."

"Anyways we arguing and I forgot what I said to him but he pushed me and I hit my face on the counter. He was so mad he ain't even notice what he did but I started swinging and we started fighting, I was fucking him up but he punched me one good ass time in my jaw and I stopped fighting. Noticing what he did, he stopped and went to get ice and shit."

"Imma beat his big ass up." Nobi glared.

"Oh nah, it wasn't over there." Sin smirked. "He thought we was cool but I went through his phone again when he was sleep but instead of looking for girls, I went through messages with Zeph, Roddy and all the rest of his friends. I wasn't mad at the shit I found out, I was mad cause he's a fucking hypocrite. I started throwing his clothes, cups, shit everything I could find at him. As soon as he sat up I threw the lamp at him and his bitch ass ran in the closet."

"Wait, what?" Nobi asked as I started rolling, hearing it again was fucking hilarious.

"You heard me right, his stupid ass hid in the closet for two minutes then gon come out holding his hands in the air."

"All that man wanted was to take a nap," Nobi said as she and I were dying.

"AYO!" I yelled covering my face as I continued laughing.

"Y'all annoying." Sin laughed rolling her eyes.

"Finish."

"So we arguing and he started putting his shit on and I threw his phone over my balcony into the pool. His ugly ass started smirking and I realized his phone was water resistant so I jumped in the pool and threw it at his car window."

"Did it break?" Nobi asked referring to the window.

"No, but his phone broke into pieces." She smirked. "He been hitting me up but I'm not beat. He put his hands on me as if we weren't both out here doing what we wanted."

"It's different though." I spoke making both of them snap their heads towards me.

"And how?" Nobi asked making me take note that I had just lowkey put my foot in my mouth.

"Nothing, this not even my business." I shook my head leaving the conversation alone.

"You smart, you loyal, I appreciate you." Sin pointed at me winking.

Turning them out again, I replied back to some people and liked things on Instagram. They annoying ass kept getting louder and louder making me glare at them. Nobi flinched at me like I was supposed to jump as I blinked at her tucking my lips in.

"Y'all both annoying as fuck." I said rolling my eyes.

"Aw, the baby mad, the baby mad." Sin mocked.

"He rolling his eyes looking a fucking mess." Nobi laughed smacking my chest.

"I fucking-" I got cut off from my door opening, Jace came in then stopped looking at Sin. "Yeah!! Talk shit now!"

"Yo! I know you fucking saw me blowing you up and I know I'm not blocked 'cause you like to see me blowing ya shit up." Jace said, making me laugh.

"You called, I ignored and now you in my face looking a disgrace." She said then busted out laughing with Nobi. "Bars!"

"Why you keep playing? You not gon be satisfied til I-"

"Til you what? Give me some more bruises? You wanna bust my lip? Gimme a black eye this time?"

"Motherfucker, your hyped ass made yourself hit the counter and I repeatedly told your dumb ass to stop hitting me, now you wanna be mad when I hit yo ass back."

"You expect me to take your bullshit but you can't take my hits? Get the fuck out of my face!" She waved him off.

"Do you hear how dumb you sound?" Jace asked squinting his eyes.

"Do you see how dumb you look?" Sin asked mocking his actions making me laugh.

"Aight, you blowing my shit. You mad as shit did the most because I be talking to bitches while you out here actually going to chill with niggas and shit. That's some outta pocket as shit."

"So you don't be with bitches?" She raised an eyebrow.

"No." He answered immediately.

"So two days before our fight you, Zeph and all them dusty ass niggas you be with wasn't in a house full of bitches?"

"Excuse me?" Nobi asked looking at me.

"This ain't have shit to do with me." I smacked my teeth.

"So you was ina house full of bitches?"

"Cut it out before you start; I told you where I was and who I was with."

"You ain't say it was a house full of bitches."

"Chill sis, Zeph was playing the game throughout the whole night. Ain't even say a word to a bitch." Sin said before I can.

"Alright? I spoke to bitches, and? That doesn't add up to you going to see niggas!"

"So you gon act like you ain't go in the room with some little ugly bitch?"

"To talk, what the fuck?!"

"Y'all could've went in the kitchen to talk, fuck you taking her to a room for?"

"The bitch was my cellmate little sister, she had to put me on some shit about him! You just said it yaself, she was ugly fuck I'm fucking her for then?"

"Nigga, ya baby moms ugly!" Sin said making me bust out laughing.

"She ain't always look like that." I defended Jace and Nobi looked at me.

"Okay and she ugly now, mind your business. Fuck you looking at her for anyway?"

"Cause I got eyes, the fuck?" I gave her that Nick Young face.

"And that bitch was pregnant! Fuck type trifling nigga imma be fucking some bitch I ain't get pregnant?"

"Shorty was not pregnant."

"She was most definitely five months pregnant."

"She was, I got the invitation to her baby shower," I added leaning my arm over to get the invite.

"Aw, when are we going?" Nobiasked putting the emphasis on we making me scrunch my face up.

"Alright well I didn't know she was pregnant, I was just told-"

"Yeah you was told shit but instead of asking me you wanna be petty and shit, I was eating ya pussy I know you ain't fuck a nigga then let me eat ya shit."

"He wore a condom." She said making my eyes go wide.

"You is a bold ass bitch." Jace laughed walking out.

"That man bout to go back to jail." Nobi shook her head.

"I was lying, I ain't fuck nobody but he ain't gotta know that."

"You know he went to get a gun right?" I asked.

"Seriously?" She stopped laughing to look at me.

"I'm dead ass serious." I laughed at her face. "He don't care, boy retarded in the head."

"Aye, Sin lemme talk to you outside." Jace came back in with gloves in making me clutch over from laughing so hard.

"Afuckingyo!" I yelled laughing grabbing my phone. "This the last time y'all bout to see him as a free man."

"You crazy as hell if I'm going with ya crazy ass." Sin looked at him in fear.

"Zeph got wooden floors." Jace shrugged reaching at his waistline.

"I'm not playing!" Sin screeched getting off the bed and ducking as I was laughing til tears came out.

"Jace, put the gun up." Nobi looked at him with wide eyes.

"Ayo! I gotta call Sef." I laughed texting him and Roddy to come to my room.

"You playing me like I'm some little ass boy! Sincere I'm going kill you and that nigga."

Sef, Lee and Roddy all came in the room just as he finished his sentence. Sin was damn near under my bed as Jace casually had the gun in hand as all three of them looked at Jace in confusion.

"Wait, what happened?" Sef asked.

"Jace ate Sin out after she fucked a nigga." I filled them in.

"And now she gotta die!" Jace raised his voice making me, Roddy and Sef start laughing.

"This the last time y'all bout to see him as a free man." Sef recorded Jace making me laugh harder.

"Yo! I literally just said the same shit."

"That's not funny! Jace put the gun away." Nobi said after smacking me in my chest.

"Wait, nah you can't do this bro." Sef said stepping in front of Sin.

"Since when you care about Sin?" Roddy asked laughing.

"I don't. She said she gon gimme free tickets to the Steelers versus the Rams but she can't do that if she dead."

"Ayooo!" I fell out in laughter.

"That's not funny, I know y'all see her crying. Jace put the gun away." Lee said.

"Everybody know Jace retarded, nigga play with people lives as a hobby. Sin gon be his example."

"Zeph!" Nobi smacked me in my chest again making me smack my teeth.

"Aight, Jace I can't allow you to kill her." I sat up.

"Just give her a leg shot or something." Sef laughed making me laugh.

"I'm bout to give her a headshot." He took the safety off and that's when I stopped laughing.

"She was playing Jace, for real chill." I stood up in front of Sin. "She ain't really fuck nobody."

"She still dying for going to chill with other niggas."

"I would like to report a crime." We heard Sin say.

"She did not fucking call the police," Sef yelled laughing.

"I'm really recording all of this." Roddy laughed with him holding his phone up.

"For y'all to all be in y'all 20s, y'all are fucking childish." Nobi finally laughed as I snatched Sin phone hanging up the 911 call.

"Put the gun up son." I looked at him. "Sin come from under the bed, he not gon do nothing."

"Until he put the safety back on and put it away, I'm not coming from under no where." She rolled her eyes.

"You fucked another nigga?"

"No Jason damn! I was playing, I didn't know ya retarded was really going to pull a gun out."

"Don't play with me Sin, if they wasn't here ya mother would have lost her only child." He frowned putting the gun up.

"Put the safety back on dickhead." Sef said making him remember and he did as told. 

"This is sad." Lee shook her head walking out.

"Come here Sin."

"Are you out ya fucking mind?" Sin eyes widened. "You just held me at gunpoint and you think I'm bout to be alone with you?"

"She still gon go." Roddy said making us all nod.

"I'll give the gun to Sef." Jace swung the gun around making all of us duck.

"Bitch watch what ya retarded ass doing." Roddy said from the floor.

"Sin come on."

"No! Jace you're really retarded if you think I'm-" He cut her off by picking her up and walking out the room.

"Yo, what time we leaving?" Sef asked.

"8." I answered looking at the time to see it was 5 something.

"Bet."

They all got out as I laid on my stomach preparing to take a nap but of course I couldn't because Zenobia wanna be annoying. She pushed me making me smack my teeth and lay on my back as she cuddled with me. She played with chin hair then traced my tattoos on my chest putting me to sleep.

"I'm always under him, he loves it though. Right baby?"

"Mhm." I mumbled sleepily knowing she was recording.

"Gimme kiss." I opened my eyes and grabbed her face leaning down to kiss her.

"Leave me alone now." I mumbled pushing her phone down ready to take my nap.

"Okay daddy." She giggled.

+++++++++++++++++

"Baby?" I heard Nobi say as she kissed all over my face.

"Hm?" I answered not getting a answer as she continued kissing on me. "If you don't leave me alone."

"You told me to wake you up at seven." I heard her say, I nodded my head about to fall back to sleep.

"7:30."

"I'm giving you til 7:15 then you getting up."

I felt her get off of me then it seemed like two minutes later she was waking me up again. I sat up and frowned at nothing in particular, I hate when my naps get interrupted. She snatched the cover off me then grabbed my hands pulling me up.

"I started ya shower, get in. I'll be in a minute." She said as I sleepily started taking off my clothes to get in.

After taking a much needed shower, we got out going straight to our closet. I looked at all my shoes deciding I wanted to wear my rose gold foamposites. After picking my shoes it was easier to pick my outfit.

"Nah, pick something else." I shook my head putting the shirt she had out back.

"What was the point of buying the shirt if you never let me wear it?" She rolled her eyes.

"You be trying to wear it to the wrong shit."

"I'm bout to get a new boyfriend."

"Go head but he gon get tired."

"Tired of what?"

"Of me beating his ass."

"So damn unnecessary." She rolled her eyes again picking out a long-sleeved baby pink crop top. "This okay?"

"You saw me pick out my foams, you just wanna match with me." I smirked.

"Stunting like my daddy." She winked at me making me laugh.

"Ain't you suppose to be matching with Sin anyway?"

"I don't want a black eye." She frowned as I laughed loudly caught off guard.

"You really a clown."

I dropped my towel then put on some black Ralph Lauren briefs with some black socks to match. Picking up the True Religion ripped jeans I slipped them on putting on my foams.

"Ya hand hurt?" I asked Nobi seeing she was looking at it.

"No, I want this damn cast off."

"Stop fighting." I shrugged.

"Stop fighting." She mocked me doing a ugly ass face making me laugh.

"Corny as shit." I shook my head trying to decide on a shirt.

"Ya pink bape shirt." Nobi said.

"Don't you have that?"

"Um-" She looked at her clothes on the hanger then grabbed the shirt. "I bought it back."

"Thanks for bringing MY shit back." I stared at her blankly putting it on.

"What's yours is mine babe."

"I'll remember that." I said waking out the closet going into the bathroom as I took my durag off. I ran the brush through my waves brushing it a certain way.

"We not bout to go no where with ya fine ass." Nobi smirked as I looked at her through the mirror.

"You always playing." I chuckled looking at her outfit. She had on the pink crop top with ripped overalls and the rose gold foamposites.

"All jokes to the left." She came in going to her side of the mirror where her shit was. She took the net off her head, fingering through the green curls in head. I went to get my phone then went to snap.

"This all me?" I asked her as I got behind her while she continued doing her hair.

"All yours stink."

"Damn, girl a five star meal with her beautiful ass." I said making her cover her face and laugh.

"Stop Mitch."

"This my damn work, damn girl." I gripped her ass as she arched her back twerking then laughing.

I grabbed her neck from the front making her head go up as I bent down to connect our lips, she opened her mouth allowing me to stick my tongue in her mouth. Our kiss deepened making me stop recording as I put my phone down.

"Stupid bitch and Nobi let's go, we ready." Roddy yelled making us separate.

We laughed as she wiped her lipgloss off my mouth, I walked out the bathroom grabbing my car charger, my house keys and a jacket I turned off the light in my closet off then met Nobi in the living room.

"We all going in one car?" I asked looking at them.

"What car fitting all eight of us?" Lee asked.

"The Range, the truck,- wait eight?" I asked only counting seven.

"Yeah, Jade in the bathroom." Roddy said.

"Jade? Who that?" Nobi asked.

"Jade is me, hi." She smiled as Nobi, Lee and Sin all frowned at her.

I raised a eyebrow wondering what was up but left it alone. "Aight, two cars? Four and four?"

"Yeah, I wanna drive my Bentley so who riding with me?" Sef asked helping Lee up.

"We will." Roddy said and he nodded.

Everybody walked out as I locked everything up then double checked to make sure it was locked. Nobi picked the jeep so I grabbed the keys to that as Sin and Jace got in the back. Nobi connected my phone to the aux cord and then talked to Sin.

"Yo, Jace?" I said, getting his attention.

"Wassgood?"

"We still picking up baby girl?"

"Nah, I ain't want her out here this late."

"Milly was gon let you take her?"

"That's my damn daughter, I'm working on getting custody anyway. Bitch be having my daughter round anybody and let her do whatever she want. That's why her ass so grown."

"Malayan is grown as fuck." Nobi said making us agree. "I was gon body slam her one day, forgetting how old she is."

"Who you telling? I had to whoop her ass the other day, imma beat her ass until she fixed."

"Can we get food?" Sin asked.

"What you want?" Jace asked.

"I don't know; I'm just hungry."

"I feel that vibe." Nobi cosigned.

"Of course ya fat ass do, they gon have food there, if not we can go somewhere."

"Sounds good." Sin shrugged.

"Why she so quiet?" I asked No.

"Ask her." She smirked.

"Sincere, why you so quiet?"

"I fucked her so good she was speechless, give it a few minutes. She'll snap back into reality." Jace answered making me regret I even asked.

Around ten minutes I parked then reached under my seat grabbing my strap; I discretely put it on my waistline then put my jacket on. I got out then walked over to Nobi's side opening her door as I helped her out. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder walking to Sef and them.

We were at a block party that my bro Boog invited us too, it seemed like the whole city was here as I saw the end of the street blocked off. I nodded and hugged people that spoke to me making sure to hold Nobi close to me.

"Which one is that?" Nobi asked making me confused until I saw who she was looking at.

"Zori." I said knowing the difference between my sisters.

"Hey girlfriend." Nobi smiled hugging her as I glared at both of them.

"That's a ugly ass face brother." Zori smirked giving me a hug.

"Yeah aight, you better stay ya gay ass away from my girl."

"The feelings mutual." She laughed making me wave her off.

"Why y'all look at Jade like that?" Roddy asked Lee, Sim and Nobi.

"Because you ours." Lee said.

"I already share you with these two, she can't join this wave like who the fuck is she?" Nobi rolled her eyes.

"We never agreed on you having a bitch." Sin jumped in.

"Y'all know I love y'all." He hugged all three of them. "But y'all can't do what she do for me, if you know what I mean."

"Ew nasty." Lee scrunched her face up laughing.

"Girl bye, you pregnick." Nobi said making me laugh.

"You see any food you want?" I asked looking at the food trucks.

"I want the loaded nachos." She pointed to a Mexican food truck.

"Aight, stay right here with Lee and them."

Jace and I walked to the truck skipping the long ass line as he glared at all of them daring somebody to say something. After taking our orders I joked with Jace until I seen a trio of niggas in Lee, Nobi and Sin face. I grabbed our food then walked over there.

"Move." I stated to the nigga in Nobi face.

"I'm having a conversation-"

"I don't give a fuck, get out my girl face." I handed Nobi her food.

"Oh my bad Mitch."

"Why you still right here?" I looked up from my food to see them backing up.

"So damn mean." Lee laughed eating her funnel cake.

"For no reason." Nobi shook her head.

"I don't give a fuck." I shrugged.

"Aye, Jace?" I heard making me look to see Izzy and his friends.

"What's good? You calling my name like we got beef baby brother." He laughed after hugging em.

"Milly and May over there with all these niggas."

"Word? Thanks baby bro, you strapped?"

"Nah, that's why I came to get you. Them niggas got it on em."

"Hold this for me." Jace handed him a strap from his shoe then put his food on the hood of the car.

"Stay right here real quick." I told Nobi.

"Watch my food for me, I'll be right back babygirl." Jace told Sin.

"Nah, you're bugging I'm coming with you. Imma smack ya ugly ass baby moms." Sin said putting her hair in a pony tail.

"Sincere."

"No matter what you say, I'm coming so let's go."

"And if my best friend going, I'm going." Nobi said.

"Imma support from a distance." Lee said making us laugh as Sef bought a chair for her. "Be safe."

I ain't feel like arguing with Nobi so I just put my arm over her shoulder following Jace. Sef, Roddy, Boog and a few of our niggas was on the side of us along with Izzy and his friends. I laughed at how deep we was knowing shit wasn't gon pop off.

"Wassup No?" Izzy spoke as she looked at me.

"Go head."

"Hey Izzy." I moved my arm so she could hug him then put it back.

Jace stopped as we saw a half dressed Milly who was matching with May making me mad. May was only six and Milly had her dressing like she was eighteen. I saw Jace ball his fist up and I let go Nobi stepping in front of him knowing I gotta do all the talking.

"Yo Milly? Fuck is you doing with her out here like that?" I asked getting her and all them bitches and niggas attention she was with.

"Mitch did I fuck you? Mind your business, I pushed my baby out I could do what I want with her. She not in no harm."

"Do you even fucking know these niggas? She fucking six, and you got her out here looking like this. This my fucking niece, you dead ass bugging."

"Once again mind ya fucking business, not your child." She laughed. "Keep talking crazy and-"

"And what? Bitch finish ya sentence so I could smack you." Nobi cut her off.

"Yo, y'all making shit hot." One of the niggas laughed, inhaling from the blunt.

"Boy shut up." Sef smacked the blunt out his hand then dragged it with his foot ina dirt.

"Yo, you had to drag it though? That's petty as hell." Roddy said making us laugh since I was thinking the same shit.

"Y'all niggas really play too much." Sin laughed.

"Give me my damn daughter with ya stupid ass." Jace walked over to her but Milly pushed him and Sin got serious really fast.

"You missed out on her life, you don't get to claim her as your daughter. This is my daughter and she's not going no where."

"Imma knock ya teeth out ya mouth." Jace looked down at her snatching Malayan out some girl hand.

"Jace give me my damn child!" She clung on his arm punching him.

"Bitch touch em again." Sin stated as she bent over tucking her laces.

"Girl this between her and her baby father, somebody-"

"Bitch, was she talking to you?!" Nobi cut some girl off.

"I'll smack all y'all bitches, y'all could all line up." Sin shrugged standing directly in front of Jace in Milly face.

"Baby girl, leave it alone. Come on." Jace shook his head putting his arm over her shoulder.

"Nah, hold up." Roddy said making us stop walking. "My dude, you just gon let him drag ya blunt out?"

"Roddy!" Nobi laughed loudly as I shook my head chucking.

"Niggas really play all day son." Sef laughed as we all walked away.

"Yo, I'm going home. Want me to take her?" Izzy asked as Jace nodded giving her to him.

"Call me when y'all get in and tell ma, I'll come get her tomorrow morning. Love you boy." He hugged him.

"Love you too."

I threw my food container away then leaned on the car rubbing Lee stomach as she leaned on my shoulder. Her pregnant ass be so nice now, I love pregnant Lee.

"You want kids?" She asked.

"Yeah, a lot of em."

"That's good cause Nobi want a whole house full, that's her dream."

"And whatever she want, she get." I smirked.

"The way y'all have sex I'm surprised she not."

"We be having scares but nah, no babies yet. Maybe her second year of college."

"At least you considerate, Sef trapped me." She rolled her eyes. "My baby get to see me graduation though, so it's not that bad."

"When y'all telling ma?"

"You know our two year anniversary on ya birthday so I think he wants to tell her sometime after that."

"Something tell me she already know."

"Probably." She shrugged then walked off to Nobi and Sin because they were calling her.

I watched as all three of them danced along to the music letting Nobi have her fun, I watched my surroundings out of habit. Jace was on the side of me talking to the bros as I started rolling up bobbing my head to the music. After smoking two blunts with Jace, I was high as hell just cooling.

Konshen x Bruk off Yuh Back and I looked to Nobi dancing on Sin until she moved and bent down twerking, she was definitely feeling herself. I walked over to her and gripped her weave pulling her stupid ass to where we was standing.

"Zeph, get off my hair." She whined holding my hand that was on her hair. I looked at Sef who was recording us as they all laughed.

"That's embarrassing." Sin laughed as I let go.

"Didn't even have to do allat." She rolled her eyes.

"Mhm, gimme kiss." I gripped her chin and she connected our lips.

She wrapped her arms around my waist as I rocked us back and forth, we was vibing to the music. "Don't take no offense, but you my bitch." I rapped to her looking down as she laughed.

"You gon fall thru every time a nigga call, that's why I ball how I ball when I spoil you." We rapped together as I grabbed her hands. "Fucking on you good got you bussing like you Rambo, you keep it hood so you really understand though. You was there through my ups and downs like a camel."

"When he asked me bout you, I just told him that I want you but now it's quiet for you cause I told him that I love you." I grabbed her waist bringing her closer to me.

"Y'all really cute." Sin smiled recording us making me remember we wasn't by ourselves.

"I need a bitch." Boog shook his head making us laugh.

"Can we leave?" Lee asked yawning.

"Word, I'm tired." Nobi agreed.

"Y'all heard them, we out." I peaced Boog and them telling them to be safe.

Nobi, Lee, Mazori, Jade, Sin and another girl was walking ahead of us as we laughed at Roddy. This nigga play so much it made no sense, him and Royal together was worse than anything though.

"Yo! Say excuse me, my fucking phone bro." I heard Nobi yell as we all stopped laughing.

"You bumped into me, beautiful, but I apologize." He bent down to pick up her phone.

"I don't need you to touch anything." She snatched her phone and that's when I saw it was them niggas that was with Milly.

"Y'all beauties shouldn't be out here by yallselves anyway, it's dangerous out here." He grabbed her face smiling.

"Hold on Mitch." Sef tried to grab me but I snatched out his grip pulling my pants up.

"Brah, fuck is you doing? Stop touching my girl." I smacked his hands down.

"Aye fam, I don't know you. Don't be putting ya hands on me."

"I don't give a fuck bout none of that, you heard what I said."

"Come on baby."

"If you know what was best for you, you'll listen to ya beautiful ass girl."

"And if you put ya ear to these streets, you know I'm not with this talking shit. Wassup?"

"Mitch, not here." Jace said but I wasn't tryna hear none of that.

"Come on baby, he not worth it."

"Yeah Mitch." The nigga taunted.

"She tryna save you nigga, he gon fuck you up." Sin said in a dull tone.

"That's the problem with you bit-" He couldn't even finish his sentence before I hit him putting him straight on his ass.

"Stand up pussy!" I yelled kicking him in his face.

"Damn Mitch come on!" Sef pulled my arm as cops started coming our way.

"I'll see you again!" The nigga yelled getting held back.

"I'm local, I ain't hiding." I laughed walking backwards as Sef continued pulling me.

"Stupid ass," Nobi mumbled as we walked to the car.

"Shut ya ass up."
