“I got niggas on Tati and Kenzie big headed asses. I’m with Cassandra always. You keep Devyn close to you. I’ma handle Juan and then put myself into that other shit. I wanna know why them niggas ran in on them because I don’t believe it was some bitches that set them up. But I gotta hold off while making sure shit stays minimal. I’m about to give my baby everything I told her I would. That comes first. So don’t tell DEVYN.”

“When you gon call that sexy ass girl Devyn to her face?”

“Never. I downloaded a thesaurus app today, so tell Dictionary to buckle up.’’

He started cracking up and clowning on me as I looked out across the street. A big ass smile grew on my face as my heart sped up. As my dick got hard. I had to scoot up in my seat, pulling down on my shorts to give Cassie’s shit some room in them. Fuckkkk.

“Yo ass bogus as hell, shorty. Why the fuck you staking out this woman’s hair appointment?!”

“Look, look, look, look! This my favorite part!” I chuckled, pointing across the street like we was watching a movie. Cassandra definitely is something to watch.

As she strutted down the sidewalk to her AMG, everybody just stopped briefly. Bitches. Niggas. White people. Cars. Buses. The fucking birds. Everyone stopped even if it was just for a second to look at her. Niggas competed with who could yell the loudest to get her attention. I could tell from right here her face was screwed up in disgust. That shit just made me crack up more.

“You see how her jeans is poked out like that in the back? That’s cause of how fat that ass is, boah! Look at my baby’s skin shining in the sun from here, foo. This beautiful ass blonde down to her ass crack--Oh my GODDDD. Her face. This woman is so fucking beautiful. And she’s all mine.”

She got to the driver’s door and stopped, looking at her hair in the window.

“She is beautiful.”

“Slow down.”

“Shut the fuck up! What you think she’s gon say when she find out about that list?”

“What list?”

“They knocked off?!”

“On foe.”

“AYE GANG!” he cracked up laughing. “Wait, it look like her tire is flat. Did you do that shit?”

I kissed my teeth while watching her examine it, “Nah, nigga!”

She pulled out her phone, dialing somebody. For everyone’s sake, I hoped it was me. When my phone started buzzing, I smacked hands with Duke. “I’ll catch up witcha!” he yelled before shutting the door. I answered the phone, just sitting there while looking at her pretty ass.

Cassie: Papa?

Me: What you need, Crybaby?

Cassie: WHY YOU SOUND ALL SEXY?!

Me: I just know you looking good.

Cassie: I ammmmmmm! I was just going to come find you...I miss you, Deddy.

Me: Mmmm, I miss you too. You got a spare?

Cassie: ....A spare?

Me: Tire.

She twirled around in circles.

Cassie: KENZO, WHERE THE FUCK YOU AT?!

Me: Get in the car until I pull up, shorty.

Cassie: Did you flatten my tire?!
