CHAPTER EIGHT: I LIKE YOU
CHICAGO, IL
~ DAYVON BENNETT | KING VON ~
I couldn't sleep. I just watched Kay sleep. On bro' I didn't think I was gone be in too deep with shorty but I like her. It's already fucked up that I'm fucking with the opps bitch. I mean at first it was for get back but I'm really feeling shorty. Ain't no telling how long she gone stop feeling me. Especially since I don't know if I put her nigga in a body bag or not.
"Mm why you not sleep?" Kay shifted in her sleep. She grasped on to my torso tighter. "I can't right now lil' folks. Got these demons fucking with me right now."
"Well what's wrong?" She blinked her eyes to look up at me. Her voice was so soft. "I got a lot on my mind."
"I'm here. What's up?" I laughed at her reaction. She was fully awaken by that answer. I just looked down at her. She was still in the same position seeming that she was waiting for my answer. "Damn so what you tryna' make me tell you?"
"Yeah I'm waiting." Kay blinked her eyes and rolled her neck a little. "Don't be rolling yo' neck at me."
She rolled her eyes and laughed while putting her hand in my face. "Anyways Von... Is you gone tell me?" Kay asked. Instead of telling her what happened I rather say something to distract her. "I like you."
"What?" Kay started laughing in shock. "Von you told me that before." She said, while still laughing. "What? I ain't tell you I liked you before." I laughed with her because I knew she was capping.
"Yes you did but I think you was playing then." Her laughter ended with a smile. "I'm serious this time. But on da' guys if I like you I'm letting you know." Kay Kay rubbed my dreads out of my face then she leaned up to kiss me on my lips. Kay didn't say anything afterwards but laid down in her same spot. I think the feelings are mutual. It better be.
"I like you too Von." She said with a small laugh. Her laughter died down once my phone started vibrating on my nightstand. "It's almost 4 o'clock in the morning who calling you?" Kay questioned in a sassy tone.
I leaned back from her grasp to get my phone. It was Kema. "Why the fuck Booka calling so late? I'll call his ass back. Shit." I silenced her call and sat it back on the nightstand. But Kay was watching my every move making me side eye her.
"It better have been Booka." She said. "It better have? Shit we ain't together yet shorty." I say, playfully.
"Mhm." She rolled her eyes ready to turn away from me but I stopped her. "I'm just playing wit' chu' lil' folks. You mine shorty." I wrapped her arms back around me. She just looked at me with her side eyes. "Oh now I'm yours."
"Yeah and you let me know that last night too." I say, to make her laugh. "Whatever. I was... dickmatized." Kay rolled her eyes then burst out of laughter. I laughed with her too. "Nah you wasn't you was dead serious."
"Mm mm." Kay bit her bottom lip revealing her teeth and her one dimple. "I ain't finna' play games wit' chu'." I wrapped my hand around her neck and bit my bottom lip. "You mine?"
"Yes." Kay said, softly. "Yes what?"
"Yes Daddy." I smirked and chuckled. I pulled her close to me by her neck. I kissed her then I let her neck go. "Now go back to sleep... You talk too much." I chuckled jokingly.
"Shut up I do not." She went back to her same spot to sleep. I kissed her on her forehead. Damn. I'm really falling for shorty.

MORNING
I gasped waking up out of Von's grasp. Something isn't right. I can feel it. "What's wrong Kay? You woke up like you saw a ghost or some'." Von muttered in his sleep.
"I need to go."
I tried to climb over him but he held me by my hips. "Von baby I need to go. Something doesn't feel right." I looked down in his eyes. You could tell he didn't want me to go. It's like he was trying to get me to stay.
"This ain't right for you lil' folks? Being here with me isn't right? Is that what tryna' say? Or is it that nigga that's on yo' mind?" He asked. "Von please don't tweak on me right now. Where's my phone? I need to call my sister." I managed to get off him. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand on his side. I cut my phone on to see that I had a lot more missed calls and even messages. Before I looked at the messages I called Kennedi since she was the last person to call me.
She answered at the first ring. "KAYDENCE! Where are you?! I came to your house and it's shot up!" Kennedi rambled fast.
"What?! Slow down Ken slow down! You said my house has been shot up?!"
"YES Kaydence! Somebody shot up your house and even your car has bullet holes! Your neighbor said somebody was after Kyree and he-" I couldn't hear the rest of Kennedi's words because Anye was beeping over.
"Hold on Ken! Anye is on the other line." I told her before clicking over to Anye's call. "Kay! You still with Von?? I need to come get you like now!" She said.
"Yeah just come get me I don't know what's going on. Ken called me screaming about how my house is shot up and then she said something about Kyree. I don't know Anye just come get me." I put my hand on my forehead as I paced around in distress.
"I'm on my way!" Anye said. "Von I don't know what's going on but I don't like this." I shook my head. He got off the bed. "Stop. Stop. Everything is gonna' be alright lil' folks." He pulled me into a hug, and kissed my forehead.
"Kay I'll let you know when I'm outside." Anye said before hanging up the phone. "I hope so." My voice cracked. My body was shaking because of my anger and fear. Who would do some shit like that? I didn't do no harm to anybody on this earth.
It's crazy because shit felt so good last night but how come it doesn't feel right now? "I have to get my stuff and get dressed." I broke out of his arms to get my stuff. I even stole a pair of his sweatpants to put on.
Anye was outside. I rushed downstairs to go. But I didn't even tell Von bye, because this was an emergency. "Bitch! Why you didn't pick up your phone at all last night?! Kennedi even called me and you know she don't even like me!" Anye yelled out the window.
"I know I'm sorry I fell asleep a little early. But take me by my house. I have to see if it's true." I got in the car. But once I sat down I was impatient. My leg shook as I bit my bottom lip anxiously.
Anye sped to my house and it felt like my heart dropped. I seen yellow tape across my house door as if it was a murder scene. I was about to get out of the car but she stopped me by grabbing my wrist.
I snatched my wrist back from her and opened the door. "Look you're not going by yourself. This shit is too dangerous and too hot for you." Anye parked and got out with me. I walked up to my house to see there were bullet holes in my car and my house door.
I walked to my porch to snatch the crime scene tape off of my door. As I looked around I could only see bullet holes going from my kitchen to my backdoor. "What the fuck." Anye said as she observed the house with me.
"I know Kyree ain't get himself into some shit." She muttered. "Speaking of him where the fuck is he at?!" I yelled. I saw a message from his sister, Imani.
Imani
Bitch when I see you its on sight!
Ong on my big brothers grave don't let me catch you!
"What the fuck is she talking about?"
"Who?" Anye asked with her eyebrows furrowed. I instantly called her. "Yo' What the fuck are you even talking about?!"
"Bitch you know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about! My fucking brother on his deathbed because you set him up! On God you did!" She screamed on the phone. "What?! What the fuck you mean he's on his deathbed?! Where is Kyree?!" I yelled on the phone. The phone call disconnected before she could answer me.
