Keep Your Enemies Closer

Dead Man Plotting

Outside Peter's Inglewood office, gunshots rang out.

Peter's head jerked up in surprise and confusion at what he'd just heard.

"Marissa!?" He called out for his secretary with his eyes glued to the financial paperwork in front of him.

…..but there was no answer, causing him to look straight ahead at a door, it was silent as a mouse. Peter, being the not so impatient, arose from his chair but was stopped midway when the doors swung open.

In walked two bodyguards, as they stepped aside the path revealed the Infamous Gucci Mane aka the man of Compton.

"Gucci…to what do I owe this surprise!?" Peter chuckled nervously as he greeted a very calm looking Gucci.

Gucci gave his security instructions to await him outside, and then their conversation proceeded after Gucci took a seat.

"Have a seat, Peter." He ushered Peter to sit using his Glock 69.

"You know I hate having to be told when things in my organization aren't going like I planned it out to be, right?" Peter swallowed the huge lump in his throat before nodding slowly.

"So please tell me why the hell your nephew and your pussy ass people pointed guns at my daughter and her friend at Gio's last week? You for one should know I don't play about my kids especially my daughter's so please…explain!" Peter's body jumped at the base in Gucci's voice.

Of course Gucci knew! He knows everything when it comes to what goes around in his city. This is why he blamed Nixon for being so careless.

The reality of it all was the fact that Peter was afraid of Gucci despite all his king talk.

Who could blame him though? Gucci was one half of the ruthless boys of Compton.

"I assure you this is the first time I'm hearing about this Gucci, my apologies-" Peter was cut off by a soft chuckle from Gucci.

Gucci pointed his gun straight at him, his jaw clenched, cocking the gun right at his head. At that moment Peter was shaking in his chair, tiny sweat beads formed on his forehead.

Gucci's smile was sinister and Peter…he was only seconds away from getting his head blown off.

"You think I give a shit about your apologies Peter? The only reason i haven't killed yo stupid ass yet is because you Pac's uncle and that lil nigga mean't   alot to my daughter but keep testing my patience and I promise you i'll put a bullet right between yo eyes" Gucci leaned forward pointing his index finger at Peter.

Since fell upon them, Gucci got up ready to leave, but he stopped,"Count your days, Peter, cause there won't be any next time. Oh, and don't forget Friday is payday. " With that being said, Gucci leaves the room, leaving Peter there to think about what just happened.

Was his plan still foolproof? Was he stupid enough to go through with it….maybe.

"Okay I'm convinced that these niggas out here are stupid how the hell you gone point a gun at you of all people and expect to get away with that shit?!" Chaylyn exclaimed, walking hip and hip with Kelis and Viera as they made their way down the halls.

"Hey…like I told Nixon, it's their death wish!" Kelis shrugged, opening the door to her locker.

"Who can believe that the school year is almost over though…pretty soon we're going to be seniors and before you know it we'll be thirty with two kids and a husband" Viera snickered at her own comment making Kelis and Chaylyn laugh.

"Girl what- who freaking said I was gonna get married?" Laylay raised her brow at Vi.

"Come on lay, You and Maxwell gone get married and have a whole bunch of kids n shit" Kelis pointed out as she took a sip of water.

"Pft whoever told you that is a lying bitch, Max hanging around Yasmin's friend" Chaylyn's caused Kelis to gag, almost spitting the water in her mouth out.

Viera patted her back asking if she was okay.

"Wait- you mean Katelyn Frost!?" Kelis' face scrunched up in disgust at how the sound of her name rolled off her tongue.

Yasmin, Katelyn and Kelis have had an almost decade long feud because of personal reasons.

As Kelis put it Yasmin had 'sticky fingers'.

"But I thought you guys have been getting along great…what changed?" Viera folded her arms.

"Were. Past tense. The time that we did spend together was amazing until I saw Katelyn on his phone with a heart emoji" Both Kelis and Viera's face scrunched up.

"Trent just told me that he plans on taking you out on a date and making things official. I know he's not gonna mess up what you guys have over some quick, meaningless pussy" Viera rolled her eyes, pressing her lips together.

"Imma beat Max's ass i know that for sure-" Suddenly they're attention was caught by the loud laughter cutting Kelis off from what she was about to say.

Katelyn and Yasmin posted up against their lockers cackling like a pack of wild animals.

Kelis saw Katelyn show something to Yasmin on her phone.

They both then looked in their direction laughing again.

Just their existence made Kelis sick. She wasn't about to let her bestfriend get played by a girl who wasn't even on her level.

"Are we going to go over there and set them straight or what?" Viera asked.

"Nah, we'll handle them later-" The bell rang out throughout the entire school compound.

They took one good look at them once more before walking off to class.

Kelis didn't play about her friends. She'd been knowing Chaylyn since birth and would kill for her best friend. Just like her best friend would for her.

Let these niggas know that Kelis ain't the one.
