Addy's P.O.V

"Get down on the ground now!"
*gun shots echo*
*grunts, sound of blade cutting through skin*
*glass breaking*
*ambulance alarms*
"Addy! *voice echos* "Athena!"
"ADDY"

"Addy." C calls out touching my thigh making me snap out of it. "You good shordy?"

"Yeah I'm good, let's just keep counting." I said.

"Addy we counted this money 3 times and it was the same. I honestly think you need to take a break before you stress yourself." He explained starting to put the money away.

I sat there in the middle of the bed in my condo staring at 10 million dollars. 5 million in cash, 5 million in Jewelry. Ain't no way the person we just robbed wouldn't be on some get back
So I had to stay low. I can't go back home anytime soon which means my brother will have to do what I didn't want him to be doing. Glad I got crash spots in our 7 locations. So far on this 7 deadly sins trip we've hit a couple licks but nothing like this. The other cities were big drug deals, come ups, and sit downs with other kingpins. I knew Miami was gon be some shit. Always is. To top this off I still gotta go see Pierre and I'm not low at all. Guess it's time for a nice little change.

I sat there staring into space and I didn't even realize C was here still. He sat in the far corner with no shirt and some lime green shorts on the phone.  His watch glisten as he talked and so did his neck chain.

"Yeah and um so wings too shordy, Buffalo.... aight... thanks." He spoke ending the call. He then looked at me giving me this blank stare.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing." He shook his head getting up. "The girls went out to get something to eat so I told them to bring some stuff back for you and me." He explained.

"Ok cool." I nodded.

"Smoke?" He asked while grabbing his stuff to roll up.

"Yeah." I agreed so I can relieve this stress.

~ 20 minutes later ~

And it ain't no room in Paris
We could still fly high, then crash here
Just make sure you pass it
No, you can't imagine
Ooh, it's automatic
The life we live is lavish

"We don't have to be here....." I shouted high as fuck.

"If we stay!" C vibed with me laying flat on the bed.

"We don't have to leave if we GO! ROLL SUM MO!" We yelled at the same time laughing afterwards because we was ahead of the song.

"Hush nigga all off key and shit." I climbed on the bed mushing his face with my hand.

"Shordy.... and you flat ass hell!" He said laughing smoking another blunt.

"Flat where!" I yelled flexing my booty not realizing he was talking about my singing.

"Definitely not there." He tilted his head biting his lip but turning around to smoke his blunt.

"Stop checking me out." I shoved him before leaning on his shoulder.

"Never.... don't act like you don't be checking the top shotta out shordy." He exhaled blowing o's.

"Never said I don't." I told the honest truth. He looked over his shoulder at me and shook his head turning back around to hit the blunt again.

I can tell he was tryna gather his thoughts to say something, but before he could I straddled him and lifted his head up to look up at me.

"AD." He said looking me in my eyes as if to snap me out of it. "You're high." He looked off and I turned his head back to face me.

"High, not clueless." I responded.

I placed my lips upon his to see how he would react and he Fiend for our lips to fully connect. I felt his hands slide down and place a grip on my ass leaning me forward to kiss him. Our lips connected making me more horny the more I kissed his soft lips . I tried to pull back but he pulled me back in when he grasped my bottom lip sucking it and I released a small moan. I started to grind slowly against him as I placed my hand on his face and arm around his neck. Swiftly, he turned us over wasting no time attacking my neck with kisses. He stood over me as if contemplating if this was right.  He then fell back on the bed laying next to me leaving me confused. When I looked over at him he had one hand under his head and the other In his shorts eyes closed.

"Go to sleep AD." He said without opening his eyes. Whenever he calls me by my name I know he's serious.

"C..." I started to say but he shook his head no.

I got up and started stripping out of my clothes.

"AD what you doing man?" He rubbed his face In frustration.

I took of my jeans, socks, and shirt leaving me in just my undergarments. I went back to the bed and laid on top of him putting my head in the crook of his neck relaxing. I felt his hands start to roam my lower body making me instantly sleepy.

"Night Night." I whispered against his neck.

"Goodnight AD." He said kissing my forehead.

~ Next Morning~

I woke up this morning in shock. What the fuck happened last night.
"Why C in your bed Athena?" I say to myself. I get up and look at our clothing and cover back up. "Oh no." I say out loud.

Did I just break my number one rule? Business and pleasure. I couldn't have screwed my right hand, that's gonna fuck my whole operation up. Damn it Athena I know you're smarter than this bullshit.  I felt C shift in his sleep as his eyes opened up to look at me. He gave me this blank glare. He shook his head and turned to get up but I was still kinda on him, so him turning pushed me over.

"Ow C! The Fuck!" I got up.

"My bad shordy." He said putting his shirt on along with his sneakers.

"So you not gonna talk to me or talk about what happened?" He does a small chuckle shaking his head as he grabbed his toothbrush from his bag.

"Chill out shordy." He was so nonchalant and I don't like that shit.

"What's up with you." I pushed him hard making him stumble.

"Tighten up Shordy." He said getting irritated and him not giving me a response was pissing me off.

"C cut the bullshit, stop acting nonchalant with me! Tell me wassup!" I hit him in his face and threw a couple more hits. He turned around instantly grabbing me by my neck pinning me against the wall.

"AD! I'm not playing with yo ass you better cut the bullshit shordy."

"Did we sleep together?" I asked looking down playing with my feet. He sighed taking away his  neck grip placing his hand above me on the wall leaning over me.

"Look at me shordy." I looked up at him and he was staring back at me.

"No. As bad as I want to rearrange your walls.. heh I knew I couldn't. You was gonna regret it and I couldn't do that to you or me shordy. The way you're acting this morning is just proof I made the right decision." He explained

"So we didn't do anything?" I questioned a little relieved and disappointed at the same time, don't know why tho.

"Just kissed." He shrugged.

"Ohhh."

"Look AD if it was different circumstances..."

"Let's just forget it happened, back to business aight." He nodded and went to go do his hygiene.

I search around for my clothes. Once I find them I sit on my bed with a huff.

What's wrong with you Athena?

~ Meeting With Pierre ~

We was meeting up at some old ass warehouse. I spoke to the girls about trying to stay low and they understood. C hasn't said much the whole ride. I talked to my brother and let him know I was out of the state, that I landed safely in New York. I told him my trip would be extended due to me having to be off the radar for awhile and he understood. I told him to keep his shit together, don't let this gang shit get in the way of basketball and he understood.

As for the Money, I will be paying out my inner circle then stashing the rest. That money is hot tho so until we no longer have to be low the money is non existent to everyone.

We pull up to the warehouse, getting out strapped up even though I know this meeting will go smooth. We walked up to the door and they patted us down removing our weapons.

"Geesh woman, there's no need for all those guns." Pierre said walking up laughing.

"I don't always know who I'm dealing with." I shrugged.

"If you don't know who you're dealing with by now ma then maybe we shouldn't be doing a deal now should we." He said turning around walking back to his chair.

"Hmph, speaking of deals. Where we at with it Pierre?" I asked.

"You'll get the shipment in a few days. But I do have a few jobs for you and your crew that's if y'all down to make some money here in New York."

"Betta not be no bullshit jobs either." C chimed in.

"Who do I look like to you nigga... play play." Pierre chuckled waving his cigar.

"No disrespect Pierre, but we work for no one and you should already know this about me." I answered.

" in fact I do, but you didn't let me explain." He said getting up walking in a circle around me, C instantly got tense.

"Listening." I said.

"You'll be like a partner whatever we get you and your crew gets half."

"Hmph, not bad."

"Not bad." He said stop walking. "I thought it would be good for a girl who ain't low." He said and my eyes instantly got big.

"How...."

"You'll learn that Pierre knows everything. Like your bullshit ass expansion."

In a quick flash he pulled me by my hair and I reached to punch him but he blocked it by grabbing my wrist throwing me down and twisting my arm. I scream out In pain. C tried to help but got into a fight with someone who looked just like Pierre. The girls were held at gun point.

"We cool." I heard Hazel say, but they didn't drop the guns.

"Ahhhhhh, fuck." I felt him still twisting. I look through the tears in my eyes at C and he was knocked out on the ground.

"3 point knockout." The dude said walking up on me as I cried In Pierre's grasp. "Get you a better right hand ma." The dude said.

"You pull any shit AD, I promise I'll have your head." Pierre said finally letting me go.

The shit hurt but I shook it off standing to my feet. I looked Pierre in the face.

"Competition from a female scares you that much huh." I say back and stick my hand out. "Partners."

Him and the other dude stared at my outstretched hand. The one dude looking impressed and Pierre just shook his head.

"I like you." Pierre said shaking my head. "But seriously fuck with me and I'll kill you."

"I think she gets it Pierre." Hazel said walking up.

"Hazel." Pierre said walking up to her.

"Pierre." She outstretched her arms. The fuck.

"What's good Mami?" He asked looking her up and down.

"Be easy." She ushered towards me.

"Business is business sweetheart. Hard head makes a soft ass." He said walking back to his desk.

"When's the first job?" She questioned.

"Tomorrow morning so be here sharply. Devenchi and Cortez will be here in the morning so play nice." He explained.

"Tomorrow morning? Where will we stay." I asked confused.

"Mi casa su casa." He said with a smile. "Oh and this here is Rome. He'll be showing y'all the grand tour. Everything you need to know he'll let you know."

"I will?" Rome asked not convinced and Pierre gave him that look.

"Oh and he'll be replacing your whatever that nigga is to you. I'm giving you a real right hand." Pierre responded.

"Nope. I trust C. I don't know this nigga nor do
I trust him." I shook my head.

"Well learn to trust him because he's who you'll have as long as your up here no discussion." Pierre said deading the convo.

"Let's go." I rolled my eyes as the girls got C up heading to the truck.

"Oh AD.... one more thing." Pierre called out and I turned to him In response.

"WELCOME TO NEW YORK!" He shouted.

I turned around walking out, the hell type welcome was that.

Whew that was some type of welcome lol. Pierre played by daddy East 😌
