Danielle was knocked out before the movie ended. I didn't want to move because I didn't want to wake her up so Lance came and picked her up. There was a knock at the door and I couldn't think of anyone who would come this late at night.
"It's just my moms," Lance said walking to the door. Lance opened the door and greeted his mom, Lynn. This was my first time meeting her and she was sweet. She just couldn't stop complimenting me and telling me how beautiful I was and that we should get to know each other more. Lynn took Danielle from Lance's arms and said bye before leaving out. I locked the door then Lance and I walked in to my bedroom to lay down. This was the perfect time to ask about Danielle's mother now.
"Lance," I said.
"What,"
"Can you please give me information about Danielle's mom?" I asked.
Lance sighed and asked, "Why does it matter?"
"Cause I want to know. Like can you just be real with me?"
"Danielle's mom left her at home by herself and took off with her boyfriend without telling anyone. Okay?" Lance said getting up from the bed.
"Lance I'm sorry,"
"You good," He said as he put his shoes and jacket on.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Business,"
"Are you coming back?"
"I don't know. I'll holla at you later."
That was the last Lance said before he left. I felt bad that I kept asking about Danielle's mom. I somewhat knew how it felt to grow up without a mom being there but I knew that Danielle had both her grandmother's in her life and they both loved her dearly. I was concerned about what Lance was going out to do. I didn't want him to get hurt and I didn't want him to do anything stupid but I knew he wasn't coming back for the rest of the night so I took a shower and just laid down. Hopefully tomorrow would go as planned and the night was even better.
Lance's POV
I hated telling people about Danielle's mom because every time I thought about Danielle's mom made me mad as hell. What kind of mother does that shit. If she didn't want to take care of her damn responsibility she should've told somebody instead of leaving a one year at the damn house by herself without no one around to watch after her. I swear if something would have happen to my daughter I would've hunted her mom down and hurt that bitch. I've never put my hands on a woman before but she deserved whatever came her way. I stopped by the trap house to meet up with everyone. We needed to discuss how we was going to take over and establish our drug cartel.
"Wassup pops," I said as I dapped up my father, Byrd, and my brother Vincent but we called him Vince.
"Wassup. Y'all sit down," my dad demanded, "Look the only way we gon' take over these streets is to take out another drug cartel."
"Who it's ran by?" Vince asked.
"Chaz Johnson and his crew. He has threw boys working for him. That's Jr, Quez, and Cash. He also has a bodyguard, G," my dad said as he laid out pictures of all of them. I took the pictures from his desk and scanned them as my dad kept talking. Taking out people wasn't nothing to us. That's what we did for a living. We started out flipping and whipping to selling on the corner to now killing motherfuckers. That's just what we do. Had to keep my daughter straight. Put a roof over her head, food in her stomach, and clothes on her back. She was motivation to getting money. The only reason I live for other than God letting me live to see day after day. That was my baby girl.
"Alright so what's the plan?" I asked.
"They're hosting a party at a club in a couple weeks for Jr's birthday and I decided that we would give their trap house a little visit while they're gone," my dad explained.
"Wait how are we suppose to find out where their trap is?" Vince asked.
"Laura knows everything," my dad answered.
"Aha my old hoe?" Vince asked making me laugh.
"Watch your mouth boy. You know your mama love her and you love her too," my dad said.
"I'm telling you. I don't know why yo ass acting," I put in. Vince just shook his head. Vince and Laura was funny as hell but Laura definitely Vince's ride or die. Whatever Vince needed, she got it for him. Hell she did the same shit we did when it came to getting money. That's who did all the behind the scene action for us. We needed work, she did it. She even bust at some niggas for us. Her and Vince was on some Bonnie and Clyde type shit just like my parents. That's the main reason why Vince kept her around even though he be stunting like a motherfucker.
I kept thinking about Crystal. She probably was thinking that I didn't care which is not the truth. I did care about her and I wanted to prove to her that I did care so I decided to head back to her crib and stay with her for the night. I wanted to live together but she didn't want to me in with me which made me upset but I didn't say nothing about it. I just left it alone. One of these days we were soon going to live under the same roof and I willing to wait on that day.
I knocked on Crystal's door until she came to open it. She was so beautiful even though it looked like she just woke up. All the thoughts that was rushing through my head made my friend get on hard but I had to calm it down. I knew she wasn't ready and I wasn't going to rush her. Waiting on the right time.
