Egypt POV
"Knock knock." Yana walked in the room.
"Hey what you doing here?" I looked up from my computer.
"Des came so I came to check up on you, how y'all doing?" She sat on the couch.
"We good, just a lot that's all." I shrugged.
Not nobody business what me and my man got going on, but me and my man.
To be honest I said the baby didn't bother me, but it does. I find myself lashing out at him about little stuff, like his drawls in the floor caused a whole argument last night.
He probably thinks I'm bipolar, which I can be. I'm just trying my hardest not to let it change us and it slowly but surely is.
"You get a car yet?" She asked.
"Um no ma'am, I know what I want right. Tell me why I'm scared to ask him for it." I turned my lips up.
"But wait he offered to buy it, what's the issue?" She laughed.
"The price, I gave him the same car I had literally and he said no. So I go find what I really want, and can't bring myself to ask him for it." I smacked my hands together.
"He give you a limit?" She looked around in confusion.
"No bitch, he gave me a minimum. No not a maximum. I said look I'm used to broke niggas, get me a soda and Ima cry." I threw my hands around.
"Lemme see the car." She laughed.
I gave her my computer and went to the tab. She looked at it before busting out laughing.
"This so goddamn funny to me, please go ask that man." She gave it back to me.
"Come wit me." I pouted.
"Aht, bitch hell nah you ain't finna have me in trouble. Des gon tell me to mind my business." She shook her head.
"Ima send it to him, yep mhm." I nodded.
"KEY SHE WANT A RANGE." She yelled towards the back of the house.
"Bitch shhhh." I covered her mouth.
Silence continued through the house making me sigh. My phone went off and I picked it up.
my boopy bear 🥰
C'mere Egypt
"Shit!" I cussed.
I stood up and went out the back door. He was sitting on a chair smoking and I walked towards him.
"Good luck." She gave me a thumbs up going to sit on Des lap.
I rolled my eyes and stood in front of him making him look up at me.
"You want that?" He blew out smoke past my face.
I nodded and looked away picking at my nails. He put his hand under my chin and put my hair behind my ear.
"Words E." He stared into my eyes.
"Yes I would like that, but I don't need it." I shook my head.
"Would you be happy with it?" He asked.
"Yea." I mumbled.
"Speak up." He hit my thigh lightly.
"Yea." I said a bit louder.
"Aight then, you want me to give you the money for it or go by myself?"
"It doesn't matter." I shook my head.
"Aight." He nodded taking a pull.
"Thank you boop , I appreciate it." I pecked his lips a few times.
"Mhm, stop being so damn stubborn let a nigga help you out." He pulled me on his lap.
"I'm not used to that though." I shrugged.
"Get used to it." He squeezed my thigh.
He so damn rough.
"Mhm." I bummed resting on his shoulder.
"I'm gonna be sick." Des fake gagged.

"BITCH WHO NICE ASS CAR IN THIS DRIVEWAY?" Amethyst ran in the door.
"Her name is Ghost." I smiled widely eating some chicken.
Fuck around and turn into a chicken wing.
"Ghost? I'll steal that muthafucka and go ghost." Dee mumbled.
"Bitch Ghost?" Paris looked at me.
"Yes she's gray, and her rims are black, and the windows are tinted. She like a ghost." I nodded.
"So damn slow." KJ sighed.
He went and got it for me when I was sleep. I woke up and it was in the driveway and a bitch couldn't be more happy.
"Y'all ignoring my damn statement, would you press charges if I stole it?" Dee asked.
"Nigga I just got the shit, let's get to the first car note and we'll talk." I hushed him.
"You ain't got no damn car note." Key shook his head.
"NO CAR NOTEEEEE?!" Yana, Paris and Amethys dragged.
"What you mean?" I looked at him.
"I put all the money down." He shrugged.
"ALL THE MONEY DOWNNNN!?" KJ, DK, and Dee snapped their heads.
"We'll wait how much was it?" I shook my head in confusion.
Last time I checked, they were expensive. Unless he did some illegal ass shit.
"I got a connect so it was a cheaper, but you do know I was sitting on money locked up? I got the shit I just don't spend it unless I have to." He waved me off.
So much better with money than me.
"Mhm." I hummed putting my focus on my plate.
"This ain't fair, niggas was growing interest in a cell." Dee frowned.
"Dead wrong." Des shook his head.
"Shid no car note, that muthafucka paid off. I will fuck around and on purpose by accident end up with the keys." KJ said in a matter of fact tone.
"Okayy." Des co-signed under his breath.
"Steal my girly Ghost if you want to." I pointed at them.
Amethyst opened her mouth to say something before a loud crash came through the wall. Key wrapped his arm around my waist grabbing his gun.
"What the fuck?" I snapped my head in the direction.
I looked down and a brick was sitting on the floor. The front window was smashed out and my mouth dropped open.
"Lord deliver me." Dee mumbled.
"I know damn well..." Yana trailed off tilting her head.
Key sprang up and ran to the door. I widened my eyes and followed him putting my plate down.
I just can't eat in peace.
"You out here buying that bitch a car? I'm carrying his son bitch!" Karlie yelled.
She took a bat and swung on Keys car. She smashed out his window and I looked up at him.
"And it was at that moment." Dee started off.
"She knew she fucked up." KJ finished.
"Fuck you, you childish bitch! Grow up hoe!" She yelled.
"Key I-" I looked at his eyes.
"Ah shit somebody get this nigga." Des sighed.
It was the same look he had when he choked me that time. Except he's sober, he looks just as scary though.
"You wanna fucking cheat on me?" She slashed his tires.
I finally get to be like the white girls and calm him down.
"On my G grave I swear to god you playing with me right now." He chuckled bitterly.
"Ou shit lemme record." Angel squealed.
"Bab-" I reached for him but he cut me off walking down his steps.
"This nigga bout to catch a DV charge." DK mumbled.
"Aye nigga chill out she carrying your child." Des pushed him back.
"Fuck you Key, I should be your priority!" She yelled.
"She thought she ate." Paris mumbled making them bust out laughing.
I stood in amazement watching them try to keep him back. His temper was so bad, but I'd never seen him mad honestly. Not this mad, and not for long.
"Egypt come get this nigga!" Dee yelled pulling on his leg.
I went down the steps and saw him reach for his gun. I ran and stood in front him grabbing it slowly.
"Key." I looked up at him.
"Y'all let him go he a grown man." I told them.
They slowly backed away looking like some damn zoo keepers.
"Baby, I know you're mad. But just try to calm down." I grabbed his hand.
Key look at me headass.
"Yea listen to yo bitch!" She yelled loudly.
"Bitch in a minute I'll give this nigga the gun back and be captain save a hoe from the porch. I don't fuck with you remember? Tread lightly, your face ain't pregnant bitch." I turned around mugging her.
"Friend if you calm down, it'll calm him down!" Amethyst yelled.
"Keontae, I love you." I said softly.
He looked down at me unclenching his fist. His eyes lightened up and his jaw rested.
"Hey." I smiled.
He tucked my hair behind my ear taking a deep breath. I reached up and kissed his cheek lightly.
"Leave." I looked back at Karlie.
She fumed before stomping to her car on the street. I gave him his gun back and he tucked it in his pants.
"You okay?" I asked.
He nodded and started walking towards the house. I followed him and looked at his car sighing.
"This finna be trending on shade room man!" Dee yelled as we walked back into the house.
Key walked up the stairs and I watched him close his bedroom door.
"Ima go with him, I'll see y'all later." I told them.
I went up the stairs opening his bedroom door. He was on his side with his head rested in his hands. I crawled on the bed sitting on my knees behind him.
I rubbed his back in circles making him look back at me. He kissed me softly and I smiled pulling away. I rested my head on his shoulder sighing.
