"Hell yeah you can trust me boss. I been down with you since Big T showed you the ropes of this shit." Ben said.

Steven looked at Lonnie.

"Now you know you can trust me. How long we know each other? I been ready to be your right hand man for the longest." Lonnie said.

"Keep an eye out for PeeWee and Sage I got a feeling they working together to take me out, or set me up with the Feds that around here. Y'all watch y'all backs too." Steven said to them.

"I have no choice. Shit I got kids out in the world and three baby mamas." Ben said and Lonnie shook his head.

Steven chuckled.

"Well I'm going to head on home. Y'all be safe out here." Steven said standing up.

"Umm boss the shipment?" Ben reminded Steven.

"Oh yeah, shit I had forgot already. You will have it by tomorrow night." Steven said and walked out the room and out the house to his car. He need to hit up one of his hook ups before he go back home. He grabbed his phone and dialed her number.

???: It's late.

Steven: I know this, I'm on my way.

???: I'll leave the door unlock.

Steven: bet.

Steven looked in his arm rest and pulled out a box of condoms. Can't afford for no woman to say they pregnant by him. He think not.

He arrived at the girl house and cut off his car. He grabbed his condoms and  walked up to the door and opened it.

She had the living room light up with candles every where. He hate when girls do that shit. This wasn't about to be no romantic fuck, it's about to be give me my nut so I can go home fuck.

"Hey baby." The girl greeted him.

"It's Steven, Tisha. Not baby. Stop confusing yourself." Steven shook his head and walked to her bedroom.

Tisha rolled her eyes and followed him to the room. She remove her robe and walked to the bed naked.

"I miss you. You haven't been around lately." Tisha kissed his neck.

"Do you see why now? Can we get this over with?" Steven looked at her.

"Are you ready to be my man?" Tisha asked him.

"Fuck no." Steven looked at her crazy.

"Then fuck no, we not doing shit. Until you ready to commit to me." Tisha folded her arms.

Steven burst out laughing and stood up.

"Deuces. I don't commit to nobody." Steven walked out her room, and out the house.

When Steven walked in his house all the lights were off and just the tv was on. Derrick was on the floor sleep, and Carmen was on the chair.

Steven turn on the lights in the living room and both Carmen and Derrick started screaming.

"Yo! What the hell?" Steven asked them.

Derrick hold his heart while Carmen hold her face in her hands.

"Stevie don't do that shit again!" Derrick yelled.

"I didn't do shit, but walk in my house and turn on the lights." Steven said.

"Car-Men ass had me watching Saw movies with her. Her ass scared screaming like a baby and shit." Derrick said picking his self up off the floor.

"I was not screaming, that was you. Every time people stop talking or something you hide under the cover. Don't play me." Carmen said.

Steven listen as they both go back and forth like they been friends for awhile. One thing about Derrick he going to make your ass talk, rather you like it or not.

"Whatever Car-Men I'm going to bed. Peace!" Derrick yelled out and walked upstairs with his covers.

"I see the cake almost gone." Steven said pointing to the kitchen.

Carmen nodded her head. Her and Derrick both ate the cake. She was hungry and Derrick was eating it, since Steven left.

"Well umm when you ready to go up to my room, I'll have the air mattress on the floor for you. Even though it don't feel right for me to let you sleep on the floor." Steven said to her.

"It's fine. You already doing so much for me. I'll be fine. Umm do you mine coming with me in that room to get my clothes please." Carmen asked him.

"I guess. Come on." Steven said.

Carmen got up off her seat and walked to the room door.

"You go in first." Carmen said to him.

Steven chuckled and walked in the room and Carmen went in after him. She grabbed her clothes and hurried out the room.

"I have to fix this window, you can go up." Steven said to her.

"Which bedroom is your room?" Carmen asked him.

"All the way to the end." Steven said and Carmen nodded.

When Steven got in his room he heard the shower going. He put the air mattress together for Carmen. He sighed and laid across the bed. He don't know how the feel to have Carmen in the room with him. She would be the first girl in his room.

Carmen walked out the bathroom in a full pajama set. Steven wanted to laugh out loud. He never seen a female wearing pajamas full set like her. He was use to seeing women in lingerie or nothing at all.

"You sure the air mattress good?" He asked her again.

"Yes it's fine. Thank you." Carmen laid down in the air mattress. It was really uncomfortable, but she would be okay.

<<<<<>>>>

The next morning Carmen found her self in Steven's  bed and he not in there. She tried not to panic , because she felt alone all over again. 

She hurried down the stairs. Where she saw Steven, Derrick and India in the living room. She tried to get heart to slow down, but it would. Soon she was breathing heavily and couldn't catch her breath. She don't know what was happening to her.

She woke up to people looking in her face.

"I told y'all Kool-Aid work." Derrick said and walked away.

She looked around. Her head started hurting really bad.

"You okay?" Steven asked her.

Carmen nodded her head yes.

"Y'all need to take her to the hospital or something. Obviously something wrong with her." India said.

"Man nothing wrong with her. I hope." Derrick said.

"You  just don't pass out like that." India said.

"She probably had a panic attack. Y'all chill." Steven said.

India sighed and looked at Derrick who rubbed her small baby bump. They can never stay away from each other. No matter how much trash they talk to one another one always comes back.

Carmen really felt like she was losing her mind. She wanted to break out this habit, but this is who she is. She have no choice, but to accept it. Even if she didn't want too . She hated when they talk about her like she was slow or didn't know shit.
