Dianna's POV
It's been three days since lil mama and Mercedes came to stay wit me. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy to see her and didn't want her here cause I do...it's just my sister. Looking at her and lil mama sleep in my guest room I couldn't keep the smile off my face.
*PHONE CHIMES*
Turning away from the door I walked over to my kitchen counter to go see who blowing up my phone.
*TEXT MESSAGES*
B💞: Dianna? You good? You was 'posed to text me last night.
Me: Why you so pressed B? I told you yesterday I know how to protect myself.
B💞: Dianna if you really did I wouldn't have had to save up ass yesterday.

Me: Naw I ain't....
B💞: Listen keep yo eyes open when it comes to that and them bitches and niggas at the club, we don't need to be making no mistakes Dianna.
"Mistakes...?" Fuck she talm bout?! I can't get the words Diamond said the other night outta my head. I know she love me but would she hurt me to get to the bottom of this Montavious shit? Holding my chest looking at my phone I wanna respond but my head not letting me...
"Mistakes...? Whatchu talm bout D?" Shit she up!
*EXITS TEXT MESSAGES*
I turned around and was greeted by her face...that morning glow is glowing. "Ahhh, hey Cedes... I mean good morning!" I said tryna catch my breath as she put both her hands on her hips in front of me. I looked behind her and seen lil mama still sleeping.
"Whatchu doing out here?"
"Awe nun...you know how it is in the morning tryna catch up on the latest shaderoom post...anyway you hungry?" Making my way over to the fridge I put my phone in the pocket of my robe. "I can make us sum bacon, waffles, eggs, grits wit butta and sugar? Don't tell me you like cheese in yo grits either." I laughed taking my bacon out of the frigid placing it on the table in front of us, I can't believe she...here.
"I'm sure whatever you make I'll love..."
"What y'all doing out here? What time is it?"
"T, it's 10 o'clock."
"What? You know I like to get my beauty rest." She said sitting down at my kitchen island next to Cedes.
"Beauty rest my ass, you hungry? Miss Dianna making us sum to eat."
"Ooo I hope she making us sum grits, and you already know I like mines wit..."
"Aht! Lemme guess, butter and sugar?"
"Nah cheese!" Me and Cedes both looked at her wit the longest stare and then back at each other. "Y'all thought I was fa real didn't you?" She asked laughing hard as heyell.
"T!" Cedes said slapping the side of her arm. "No child of mine gon switch sides like that!" This is nice all us here...together...
*PHONE CHIMES*
Shit I hope this ain't my sister again I said sliding my phone outta my pocket, then I realized lil mama was pulling out hers.
"T! Who dat?"
"Just a notification from Instagram. Ooo mama you know bout this shit?!"
"T how many times I gotta tell you to watch ya mouth!" She said snatching the phone outta her hands.
"Look!"
"What y'all talm bout...?" I asked inching over the counter to look at the phone wit them.
"Miss Keyshawn out chere getting them deals and she looking for an assistant to help her wit her looks. They gotta be Chucalissa based and well versed in makeup and designs."
"T...?"
"Mama please, look I been looking fa a lil side job anyway since I wanna save up money fa my birthday. Can I please please apply mom...please..." looking at T I could tell she really excited bout this shit...and she really wanna do it to.
"Hey, I know it may not be my place and I'm sorry if it's not but Cedes I thank this could be good fa Terricka, heyell it could go on her resume in the future if she really wanna do this shit fa serious."
"See mama, even Miss Dianna rooting fa me."
"She is ain't she...?" Cedes eyes came up from the phone staring back at me, fa a second I forgot I was cooking breakfast on the stove.
"Mama please..."
"Lemme call her T."
"What...?"
"Me and Miss Keyshawn go way back, Imma give her a call and see if she willing to give you one of the spots since she looking for two assistants."
"You fa real...?" Terricka asked her smiling big as heyell, as she should.
"That's what I said ain't it? Na let's go make this phone call!" While they walked in the living room and kept cooking breakfast as my phone finally did chime.
*TEXT MESSAGES*
B💞: Are you home...?
Me: Naw I ain't.
Fuck she really can't come over here, specially wit Cedes here. I brought my eyes from my phone and stove for a second to look over my shoulder. I turned around to look at Cedes and Terricka over on my couch and my heart dropped. My sister ain't too far off from figuring out who really killed Montavious, part of me know she right about us having to get this and boss off our backs but I'm never gon put Cedes or Terricka in danger.
B💞: Well Dianna just lmk when you are, we need to talk about this shit! We too exposed right na and we need to keep our heads on a swivel!

"Ahhhhhh!"
"C'mon and get ready, she gon be over to get you...her and Uncle Clifford."
"Could this job get any better?! Come make me fly mama!"
"Not too fly na..." she said as T pulled her in the room.
Big Murda's POV
"Lamarques..."
"Cliff..." I whispered in her ear as my tongue kissed the soft spot on her neck.
"Lamarques I gotta go help Keyshawn..."
"Shawty...whatchu mean? Yeen tell me bout y'all doing nun today..."
"Well last night yeen never come to the club...when I got home I was shocked to see you was already here." While shawty was speaking my heart started to shake, I came up for air from kissing her neck and even though I ain't want to I couldn't focus on nun else but me and Woddy conversation last night. Cliff must've noticed me staring into space. "Hey, Murda boy you okay...?" As he nails graced the side of my face pulling me in closer and closer to her in this bed I couldn't speak. I started finding it harder and harder to look at her cause all that's on my mind right na is how Imma tell her this shit.
"Yeah...Yeah Cliff I'm good. Just wanted to come home last night to get sum shut eye that's all."
"Ummm..." while she looked me up in down I could tell she was looking into a nigga soul. Lemme switch things up real quick. "Aht! Murda boy what is you doing?!" While climbing on top of her I started planting soft kisses against her soft chocolate skin. "Fuck Murda boy, a bitch can't not come through for her best bitch today...ahhh shit I gotta go..." as she grabbed the sides of my face pulling me in closer to her neck I couldn't keep this smile off my face. I brought my face up to hers as our noses touched.
"You still ain't tell me where you had to go...so...do are you gonna go...or are you gonna stay fa a few?" Looking into her eyes asking this question I started to rise. Her breaths started to match mine and feeling her chest under me started driving a nigga crazy. "Cliff..." I brushed my fingers against the side of her face kissing it waiting for an answer.
"Ahhh, C'mon Murda boy I only got a few minutes..."
"Let's make it more then a few..." untying her robe I pressed my lips on her chest while she held onto me. "Sweet." I said as I licked as much as I could of her as I slid inside.
"Fuck! Ahhh" bringing her hands down from my face to kiss them I ain't wanna stare at nun but her eyes.
"I love you Cliff." I do love her...that's why this decision I gotta make is harder than a mafucka'.
"Ahhh, I love you too." Her hands made their way to hold my waist as I went deeper and deeper inside her. She my heart, she my everythang. As the sun gleamed on our skin I got lost in time. Kissing her everywhure I could I feel myself getting closer. "Ahhh Lamarques..." as her nails traced my back it sent shivers through my body, I love when she do that shit. Pulling my body down closer to hers I used my body to rub against her spot. "Fuck!" Wit every stroke I made looking at her eyes as they closed I could tell she was getting closer and closer. Using my fingers I brought her chin up to my lips causing her to open up them pretty brown eyes.
"I want you to focus, keep them eyes on me gurl." While she opened 'em looking at me she came. "Good gurl." After she came our lips collided again.
"Fuck Cliff." My body tensed up on top of hers then I came. Lying next to her right na looking up at the seiling all I wanna do is tell her bout this shit. If I do take this deal I may be gon fa a Mississippi minute. "Cliff...?"
"Yeah Lamarques...?" Looking at her eyes as the fluttered I couldn't find the right words to say...how I'm 'posed to tell her this shit? Even though part of me thank she would drop errythang and come wit me...realistically wit errthang going on at this club I know she ain't gon want to.
"Nun Cliff..."
"Alright den...Imma get ready okay?"
"Okay..." watching her get out the bed and walk to the shower I grabbed my phone and started texting Woddy.
*TEXT MESSAGES*
Me: Aye Woddy, listen Ion think Imma be able to do that promo deal.
Woddy🥷🏾🤫:Hold up nigga. Yeen tell Cliff yet did you?
Me: Woddy I can't mane.

Me: Understand? Nigga we gotta talk. Come scoop me!
Woddy🥷🏾🤫: Lamarques I really don't wanna talk bout this shit.
Me: Well too bad cause we gon talk bout it nigga!
*EXITS TEXT MESSAGES*
"Ayo Cliff!"
"Yeah Murda boy?!"
"Imma go kick it wit Woddy!" I said jumping out the bed grabbing my clothes to put on.
"Okay Murda boy, make sure you tell his ass he did his thang on the radio too!"
"And did I do my thang...?" I asked walking over to the door opening it watching her step outta the shower. "Cliff..." she started walking up to me wit nun on and she know erry part of her is my weakness. When she finally reached my space she blew the air from the opening of her lips on mine. "Shit Cliff...." I moaned falling under the coolness of this beautiful mist in front of my face, slowly opening my eyes I focused on her face as she leaned closer towards me.
"You did ya thang alright..." she said softly kissing my lips. After she did she licked 'em then walked right past me. Looking over my shoulder as she walked through the bathroom door back to the room I couldn't pick my jaw up off the floor. Damn shawty fine. Finally gaining my composure I started walking out the bathroom giving her a kiss on her forehead as she sat in front of her vanity to get ready.
"Where you going baby?" As soft voice asked me as I started putting on my rolly walking up out the room.
"Granmuva? How you feeling this morning gurl?"
"Nigga I'm high so you know I'm having a good morning! Where you going?"
"Ah, I'm just gon go rap wit Woddy fa a minute, why you need sum?"
"Awe naw baby, it's just I can tell sum bothering you..." looking at her fa a second I started questioning how she always be knowing this shit, I looked back at Cliff in the room and started pulling Granmuva to the side.
"What make you thank that...?"
"A ole bitch could smell sum was wrong when you walked in last night...I just wanna make sure whatever on ya mind don't be on ya mind fa too long."
"How I'm 'posed to get it off my mind...?" I asked as my face started to turn up. Ion like hiding stuff from Cliff specially cause I know she thank erryone hiding stuff from her already. If Granmuva Ernestine could see my face right na she would know she was right fa reading me like bitches read they bird app early in the morning right na.
"You know how..." she said placing her hand on my chest, when she did my heart finally stopped racing. "Na make sure you hurry back, a bitch wanna spend sum time wit her favorite grandson in law."
"I gotchu Granmuva Ernestine." I said giving her a quick kiss on the cheek heading for the door. When I stepped outside Woddy was already out here waiting fa a nigga.
"Thanks fa coming Woddy."
"No problem my dude." He said unlocking the door as a nigga stepped inside. "So whatchu was going on and on about earlier. You know this promo a opp of a lifetime don't you?"
"Nigga I know it is..." I said looking back at the crib door, then my eyes made their way up to the window of Cliff's room.
"Lamarques..." Woddy must've noticed a nigga focus was steady on that window and who my gaze was on...it's always on her. Ion wanna leave her and I know she gon wanna stay. My nigga in the car so Ion wanna cry in front of him.
"C'mon Woddy let's slide mane, a nigga hungry."
"Here you go rushing me when I didn't even have to come get yo ass!"
"Nigga!"
"Sit back my dude!" He said putting the car in drive. When we finally made it here we went up to the hostess and got a table.
"Nigga pass me that menu!"
"Lamarques get yo own shit!"
"Yeah whatever nigga." I hollered over to our waiter signaling her to come over.
"What can I help y'all wit? Y'all ready to order?" She asked taking out her notepad. How niggas gon order without a menu?!
"Shawty a nigga need a menu to order sum."
"Oh my bad...I'll get one of those fa you. Ooo." Fa I knew it Shawty eyes was focused on Woddy ass. I kicked him under the table so he could see this shit. "Dark skin sure is back in!" The nigga started cheesing all hard looking down at this menu in front of him, the old Woddy would've looked up but err since Keyshawn.... "Awe I ain't mean to make you blush baby , just couldn't help myself."
"Hey, shawty you mind just getting us sum drinks to start while I talk to my boy here?"
"Umm. Holla at a gurl when y'all ready..." shawty started walking away and by the way she moving she was tryna get my nigga attention but he couldn't bring his eyes up from this menu...don't look like he want to.
"Woddy...? You good my nigga? I swear bitches today ain't got no home training, don't they know niggas love the chase and not the throw?!"
"Yeah mane..."
"Woddy is you even listening to me right na? You act like sum on ya mind. You never did tell me how it went last night wit Key... NIGGA!"
"What Lamarques?!"
"Since when do a nigga gotta yell to get yo attention?!"
"Listen I'm sorry my dude."
"Woddy what's good wit you nigga? Last night when I texted you was acting mad weird and na you acting mad weird...sum happend when Keyshawn came over last night? Nigga I thought you would be happy I texted her to slide through..."
"I was...Until I found out she..."
"Found out she what mane?"
"Her and Diamond fucked mane."
"Hold up Woddy! Unless she said that shit outta her mouth or you seen the shit wit yo own eyes you can't be jumping to no conclusions!"
"Lamarques she ain't have to tell me mane, I seen it all over her face."
"Woddy listen, I got ya back bra, we can dead this fool tonight and don't nobody gotta know!"
"Hold up Lamarques, yes I'm mad about the shit but I'm not gonna end no nigga life over this shit, that nigga did what anyone in love would do heyell I should know."
"Woddy..."
"I been knowing fa a minute na I suppose..."
"Woddy you telling me..."
"I love her mane..." he said as a tear fell outta his eye.
"Woddy, my dude..."
"Here go y'all drinks and I'll be back to take y'all order in a second!" The waitress said sitting our drinks down on the table.
"Thank you."
"Listen Imma talk to Keyshawn."
"Naw mane, listen Ion need yo big ass head up in our business Imma figure the shit out."
"Yeah, all I know is you better tell her how you feel Woddy cause trust and believe first chance he get that nigga will!" After I said that he just stared in space fa a second then he started drinking his drink.
"So whatchu finna do about this mane? You know you gotta tell Cliff about this shit and I know you want her to come wit you my dude but if she don't want to what are you gon do? Stay here? We'll be gone for a week tops."
"Imma tell her mane, and if she don't wanna come Imma figure the shit out."
Mercedes POV
"Alright T, you be safe na!" I said waving to Terricka as she got in the car wit Keyshawn, look like Uncle Clifford gon follow behind them.
"I will mama!"
"Mercedes gurl, come rap wit us fa a minute!" Here go Uncle Clifford tapping her nails stepping outta her car waiting for me to come over to her and Keyshawn. She gon rub this shit all in my face too. I started walking over to the them as lil mama got in the back seat of Keyshawn whip.
"I see you Keyshawn gurl! And oh my god dem babies just den got so beautiful!" I said reaching my hand in the back seat to kiss Regal on the head and hold Jayden's hand.
"Thank you Cedes, so...you staying here na...I ain't know you and Dianna was a thing...I ain't really know bout Dianna till I stopped over by the Pynk the other day."
"Oh yeah Miss Keyshawn...they been a thing fa a minute na..."
"Terricka!"
"What? Am I lying Uncle Clifford?" She asked sticking herself in between the both of them, my baby too much but she mine and I love her.
"This pretty lil baby gurl of yours ain't lying Cedes, errybody know what's up wit y'all, so...what y'all doing...?" When she asked I couldn't help but look over my shoulder as my bottom lip rubbed against the my robe. Looking at the door where Dianna was standing...I smiled back at her as she returned the favor smiling back at me...then I found myself turning back around to face Uncle Clifford and nem. Chileee the look on they faces right na is proof positive errybody know what's going on between us.
"She just letting us crash here fa the time being..."
"Why...Cedes is errythang okay?" It's getting real hard to keep this shit about Maine from her...and looking at her face right na and even though the bruises are starting to go away I wanna cry. If I woulda just warned her bout what type of time Maine was on maybe nun of this woulda happened. Barely being able to speak I just nodded my head yes at her. "Alright Cedes...but if you need anythang you know where I'm at..."
"Thanks Uncle Clifford..."
"Well we boutta get going, see you Cedes!" Keyshawn said as her and Terricka got in the car and Uncle Clifford got in hers. I turned around and seen Dianna had moved away from the door...we do needa talk too, so I'm glad we alone.
"Hey D..." I said walking in the door closing it behind me. "I just wanna say thank you fa letting us crash here fa a while. I'll never forget how you don come through fa me."
"Cedes...you don't ever gotta thank me, I'm doing this cause I want to...I wanna be here fa you." As the words started falling outta her mouth I felt my body starting to steady, as she made her way towards me she placed both her hands on the sides of my arms. Looking at her in her eyes right na I know she telling the truth. Even wit her sister doing this shit to me I still can't turn off my feelings fa Dianna...Ion think I'll ever be able to. I moved my body a lil closer to hers and I couldn't stop myself from kissing her lips. "Cedes...?" I brought my hands up from my sides sliding them up to hold her waist. "Ahhh..." I miss how her lips feel on mine. Sliding her robe down wit my finger tips I watched it fall to the floor. While I looked at it my eyes made their way back up to her...shit! "Kiss me." She said pulling my face back up to hers to flood my lips wit hers. Pulling me in she took a few steps back and before I knew it we were in her room.
"Dianna..." she laid back on the bed pulling me down to where I was right on top of her. She reached down to grab my hand bringing it up to her face... "Ahhh..." I moaned as she stuck my fingers in her mouth.
"Right here..." taking my fingers outta her mouth she brought them down to her spot and put them up against her clit. "Ahhh." Wit every stroke I made against it she used her hands to pull me closer and closer to her as her soft breaths graced the sides of my neck. "Don't stop..." she held onto my wrist tryna push it away so I could tell she was getting close..."Ahhh fuck!" She said shaking as her juices covered my finger tips. Kissing her lips I could feel a shock go through my body then I brought my fingers up to suck them. "Fuck..." she said pressing her lips against mine.
"D..." I said uttering out her name while my lips were able to spread for the split second our kiss paused.
"Lay back Cedes..." she said as she started to softly kiss my neck using her hands to lay me back on the pillow behind me. While she planted her soft kisses against each part of my skin I couldn't help but tremble under her lips. Finally making her way down to my spot she rubbed the sides of my thighs wit her soft hands pushing them back as she started to kiss me there.
"Ahhh! Dianna!" I couldn't control how my body was feeling as I looked down at her eyes...her eyes got a hold on me. "Faster..." listening to what I said she sped up her pace as her tongue grazed my spot faster and faster. "Fuck Ahhh!" After I came she kissed every part of my body till she reached my lips. Breaking our kiss as she laid on top of me our smiles left our lips at the same time while she intertwined her fingers in mine. "Dianna I..."
"Yeah Cedes..."
"I..."
*PHONE RINGING*
"Hold on D..." I said sliding up from under her to go grab my phone from the kitchen. "Hello...?"
"Cedes...?" I know this ain't who I thank it is...
"MAINE?!"
"Cedes...I...I need ya help." While he was still talking I found myself going in the bathroom closing the door behind me.
"Maine?! Why the fuck would I help you after you did that shit?! You really wrong fa all that!"
"Cedes...(cough cough) please..." even though I'm pissed at his ass Ion like hearing nobody hurt and how he sounding right na he hurt pretty bad. Fuck! Maybe if I take his ass home I'll be able to go back home...me and lil mama.
"Where are you?"
"Cedes...thank you..."
"Where are you?!"
"I'm at...at the dolla' store. It's the only place that I could find a phone and it was close enough from where that nigga was keeping me."
"Who? Lil Murda?"
"No not his bitch ass!"
"Aht! Just stay there! I'm on my way!" I said hanging up the phone walking outta the bathroom.
"Cedes...? You okay? What was you boutta say to me just den?" Before I could say what I wanted to say I got interrupted...we been getting interrupted a lot lately. I walked up to her and kissed her.
"Tell you when I get back...?"
"Get back...? Where you going...?"
"Someone from the house called, said I had a package." Damn Cedes that's the best lie you could come up wit?!
"Oh...okay den, you coming back?"
"Of course..." I said giving her another kiss while I got dressed and grabbed my bag. "Dianna...?"
"Yeah..."
"See you when I get back..." closing her door behind me I started running to my car, the way he was sounding on the phone he hurt pretty bad...he deserve that shit. After I drop him off at his crib I'm done wit his ass. Soon as I pulled up I could...I could see why he was sounding the way he just was. Rolling down my window stopping the car I called out his name... "Maine...?"
"Cedes...thanks fa coming..." I couldn't close my mouth while I stared at him. Whoever did this shit...really fucked him up. After he got in the car we started driving to his spot, I stopped the car once we got here.
"Maine...who did this to ya?" I asked looking at his face and the burns that covered his skin. "Maine..."
"Ion wanna talk bout this shit Cedes..." he said as he turned his face to the window. Then I started driving to his crib, this car ride getting too silent. I looked over at him as his ass was steady looking out my window and I couldn't help but get more and more upset.
"Maybe this will teach ya ass not to fuck up peoples shit den!"
"Ion need no lecture from you Cedes!"
"Aweee, well seem to me like yo ass need a lecture from somebody! Had you let this shit go like I told yo ass to you wouldn't be in this situation!"
"Cedes...?"
"You could go on and get out na." I said unlocking my car door.
"Can you at least help a nigga inside...?"
"Ahhh, C'mon den..." after we made it in his house I helped him sit on the couch. "Imma get going na..."
"Hey, wait..." he said touching my hand pulling me back to him. "I needa ask you sum Cedes..."
"Uhhh, make it quick Maine."
"Niggas come by tryna hit up my spot?"
"If you talm bout Lil Murda and nem naw but they should have seeing as what yo ass had the nerve pull on them!"
"Cedes...I need a favor."
"What kinda favor Maine?! Why should I do you any favors?!" He started rubbing his hand up and down my arm and looking in his eyes I could tell he real spooked. "Maine who did this to ya? Maine?"
"Cedes just do me this one favor...I promise I'll leave you alone after this." Instead of answering him I just looked into his eyes and nodded my head, then he whispered in my ear what he wanted me to do.
"Maine I can't do that."
"Cedes please..."
"Fuck! Okay! Just get the stuff you gon get and bring it over to my crib!"
"Thanks fa letting a nigga stay wit you."
"Awe don't get it twisted just cause I'm helping you don't mean we good. And I'm not staying at my crib right na."
"Well where you staying den?!"
"That's nun of yo concern. Na hurry up I gotta get back to where I was..."
"Umhum. Thanks again Cedes..." he said letting go of my hand to go walk back to his room to get his stuff.
Big Bone's POV
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
"B...?!"
"Hey Sis!"
"Whatchu doing here?" She asked abruptly closing her robe...then she started looking behind herself. Why she being all weird right na?
"D, I'm here cause I said I would be."
"Naw, you asked me to text you...last time I checked I ain't text you Big Bone..."
"Dianna, I'm just tryna look out fa you. Whatchu doing that's so important anyway...?" I asked tryna inch my way inside her door wit the top of my boot.
"Ahhh, Lemme step outside wit you!" She said moving my foot wit hers from the bottom of her door.
"Why you acting all high key?"
"Well like you said we gotta be careful..."
"You acting like you needa be careful round me..." I was tryna look in her eyes but they was focused on errythang else but me. "Dianna...? Dianna what's up?" I asked as her face began to turn up.
"B, would you protect me if it came down to the wire?"
"You know I would! Why you even asking me all this right na?"

"Of course. Just know it's better if we come up wit a game plan sooner rather then later Dianna, our lives on the line."
"I know...Imma see you later."
"Alright D..." I said watching her turn around and walk back in her crib. My eyes started to squint thanking bout if she really wanted to tell me sum else... I started walking back towards my bike and started it up. "Lemme get outta here." I started riding down the driveway and speeding down the street till I finally got stopped at a light. "What the fuck...?" I know it ain't no way this gold two seater headed in this direction. Looking through the tent of my helmet I saw her turning left at the light adjacent from where I was waiting. Dianna...ain't...she still fucking this bitch?! The light had changed and I was so stuck I ain't even notice.
"C'mon bitch! The light green!" I ain't got time today. Putting my bike in park I slid off of it walking to the car behind me.

"Hey, roll down ya window..." I said smiling at the bitch taking my helmet off. "Na, what was that you said?"
"I said, C'mon Bitchhhh the light green!"
"Yeah I though that's what you said..."
*BAM*
Watching her head fall to the steering wheel after I bashed her skull in wit my elbow I started to feel sum of the stress I was feeling leave my body. "Ahhh, Na go bitch! The light green!"

Woddy said he would text me last night but I ain't heard from him since. All this shit is really starting to get next to me. Looking up from my phone I seen the kids over by Terricka and Uncle Clifford and a smile finally crept from my lips. I really need to make a decision fa them too, but I just...I just can't right na. Good thang this bitch closed fa us cause I don't need no one getting a glimpse of this promo I'm doing fa I drop it.
"C'mon heffa we ready!" Uncle Clifford said waving me over to them. "And we even got a few fits fa the kids if you want them to take a couple pics wit you."
"Y'all did...?" I asked as a tear came outta my eye. We ain't never took a photshoot together before.
"Sure did..." while Uncle Clifford rubbed my shoulders errythang I was feeling started to become an afterthought, im so glad she here to help a bitch wit all this shit and even though she don't know it she helping me more then she could ever know. "Na C'mon over here and Terricka and I will get you beat to the God's!" After they beat my face and I got dressed I went over to the center of the rolling rink floor and started doing my thang. "There you go! Ooo Keyshawn these is coming out fire and them shades tying the whole look together! C'mon let's get you into the next fit." 30 minutes had passed and I was almost done the shoot, na it's time fa my babies to get dressed and get in this exclusive pic wit mommy! This the one Imma drop before the other ones.
"C'mon my babies." I said as Jayden ran over to me in his cute lil chrome tracksuit and as Uncle Clifford passed Regal to me in her cute chrome romper. "Mama loves y'all." After kissing them both on the forehead I held them close for the picture...well pictures since it needed up being a few. Chileee we need pictures to choose from and from how they looked they all perfect!
"Awe y'all so cute..." Terricka said grabbing the camera from Uncle Clifford.
"Ain't they though." They over here cheesing mad hard and so am I. "Alright let's wrap this up and get gone fa this place start crowding out. Y'all know I only got this place on lock fa a few more minutes till it open!" Uncle Clifford took the SIM card out the camera and passed it to me so her and Terricka could pack up errythang while me and the kids changed. After me and the kids changed we started walking to the car.
"Y'all work fast." I laughed looking at Uncle Clifford and Terricka finish packing the last few items we used in her car.
"That's what we do! And that's what we gon do fa as long as you need us to." My heart started to melt as she said those words. My eyes started watering and I couldn't hold back the tears. "Baby gurl what's wrong?!"
"Yeah Miss Keyshawn you alright...?"
"I'm just happy y'all..."
"Hey...Terricka, wait fa me in the car?"
"Okay Uncle Clifford...Bye Miss Keyshawn." I waved to her as she walked in the car while Uncle Clifford held my hand in hers. Focusing my eyes on her I started wiping the tears away from'em.
"Keyshawn...what's on ya mind?"
"Ahhh errythang..." I said taking a deep breath in then out, I can't stop shaking and Ion know if it's cause I'm happy as heyell or cause it's so much other shit on my mind.
"Hey, you needa start taking time out fa yaself!"
"Myself...?" I asked inching closer to her face, what she talm bout. Then she started snapping her fingers in my face.
"Yes fa yaself! Baby gurl you needa sit wit yo own thoughts and focus on errythang that's going on and transpiring in ya life right na. That's the only way you gon make this decision."
"..."
"Na we gon go, call us when you need us to slide again. We'll be by our phones." She said smiling getting in her car. I know she right...and I know I gotta make a choice but...I just...
"Diamond...?"
"Whatchu doing here Keyshawn?"
"I...I could ask you the same thang..." I said as he started walking towards me.
"Got a few friends here I'm boutta meet, it's my night off since this a slow night over at the club" His eyes were focused on me and mine were focused on his till they made their was to Jayden and Regal in the car...his followed mine. "Baby gurl don got so big." The last time he seent her she was a newborn...and na she walking.
"Yeah she has... Oh I'm sorry Diamond this is Jayden." When I said his names he looked up from playing his game on the tablet I got him and looked at me...then at Diamond...
"Mama...who..is this?" He asked in his cutest voice ever...
"Jayden this is mama's friend Diamond..."
"Hum..." Jayden said looking him up and down. Fa a second I thought he was gon say sum else but instead he just looked back down at the game on his iPad.
"So...you going inside...? I don't wanna keep you..." I said folding my arms looking behind me.
"You know you don't ever keep me from anything Keyshawn...but I know you got things to do so I won't hold you." He took his hands off my chin and started heading for the door...
"Diamond wait!" I said turning around to him. "You never did call me the other night...were you busy?"
"I ain't thank you was up fa what I wanted to talk to you bout."
"Talk to me bout what...?" He started walking back over to me and put his hands on my arms to unfold them as he placed my hands in his.
"Fa errythang I wanna do wit you. I know you in sum right na and I don't wanna pressure you but I want you Keyshawn, and Imma fight fa you."
"Diamond..."
"Imma go on in here." As he brought his hands from mine the smile on his face made me weak in the knees, I know he mean what he say when he say it...but I know Woddy do too.
Cliff's POV
After dropping lil mama off back at Dianna's I decided to make my way down on to the only place that could help me wit this here lil issue Patrice call herself having wit a bitch and her club. Damn this bitch stay tryna fuck up shit but I'll be damned if my club be put up on the cross for a third time! "Hahhht! EXCUSE ME!" I said strutting through this here do'. "SHERIFF BAILEY? SHERIFF BAILEY?!"
"Yes, Yes Clifford? What can I do fa you?"
"What can you do fa me?! HEY!" I said snapping my fingers in his face so he could look up from this damn paperwork he tryna pretend to file. "I see yo ass tryna look like you working and shit but whatchu shoulda paid attention to was this here notice that ole Mayor of y'all's came up in here wit! Was you planning on telling a bitch what she was up to?"
"Clifford I ain't thank she would go through with it..."
"Awe cut the shit Sheriff Bailey! You know Patrice Woodbine! So you knew she would go through wit this shit! All I wanna know is why yeen warn a bitch this was coming... better yet why you letting her go through wit this shit?!"
"Clifford she is the Mayor...what was I supposed to do?"
"You was 'posed to have the back of an ole friend."
"Clifford..."
"Listen I just need this shit to be thrown out that there godt damn window!"
"Don't do that with ya nails."
"Sheriff Bailey you know better then anyone else what my club mean to me. I can't let Patrice do this shit! You shouldn't be letting her do this shit!"
"Clifford what's done is done."
"What's done is done huh...?" I asked folding the paper back up sticking it inside my purse, I took a long second to get a good look at the man standing in front of me. "It may be done where yo ass is concerned but as far as I'm concerned I'm far from done! Tst!"
"Clifford...? CLIFFORD!"
"Goodbye Sheriff Bailey!" I said turning around storming out of the office doors. "Fuck!" If he ain't gon help me wit this shit Ion know what I'm gon do. Using all the strength I had left I started walking back to my car. "Jesse?!"
"Kinda busy here Clifford!"
"Yeah I can see that..." I said looking at the heffa he had handcuffed up and down. "Why you arresting her? By the looks of it ya needa be arresting somebody else. Look at her face Jesse!" I said pointing to the gurl getting angrier and angrier by the second. Funny how these officers quick to arrest sum of us folk for petty shit when the ones they needa be arresting is the goldmines.
"Goodbye Clifford!"
"Test! Lemme just get on home!"
Whisper's POV
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
I hope this ain't Roulette ass again cause I don't have nun else to say to her. "Roulette I already told you...Duffy?" I said closing my robe and closing my door behind me.
"Hey..."
"Whatchu doing round here?" Why the fuck Duffy on my doorstep? I hope Roulette...Roulette! "Is Roulette okay...?" Suddenly I started to panic. Yeah I'm mad at her but that don't mean I don't want her to be good. "Duffy...?" The look he have on his face right na starting to intensify. "Duffy what is it?!"
"Whisper...I need to ask you sum."
"Sure...what is it?"
"Why y'all get kicked outta the Pynk?" Fuck! I feel bad fa Duffy but I can't switch sides on my bitch like that...I know how she feel about him...the same way I feel about Rod. Yeah he caught me wit sum nigga but he didn't and still don't know what I was really doing that night. I know Roulette don't want Duffy knowing this shit and I ain't gon tell him.
"Duffy...I thank you should talk to Roulette about that."
"But I'm asking you Whisper...Listen people at the club been whispering fa a long time bout what y'all been doing but I need to hear it from someone who actually knows the truth."
"Duffy..." he was starting to get real upset and fa I knew it he leaned his head on my chest. "Duffy...?"
"Whisper, I know she ya friend but I need to know what's up."
"Duffy I can't be the one to tell you that." I said picking his head up off my chest holding my hands on top of his arms. "You gotta get them answers from her." His blue eyes were filling up wit water the more and more we talked and I started to feel real bad... "Duffy..."
"Whisper?!" I looked behind where Duffy was standing and seen him standing in the parking lot.
"Rod?!" I hollered looking down at him, he look pissed.
"Whisper please!"
"Duffy you gotta go!"
"But..."
"Now Duffy!" He started walking down the other side of my building steps as Rod rushed up the other ones. I know he gon be on sum jealous shit too.
"Whisper?!" He said looking at me then down at Duffy get in his car, I don't have time for this shit and honestly I shouldn't even have opened the door.
"Rod I'm tired so I'm going back inside."
"So you not even go try to tell me who that was just den? Whisper what are we doing?"
"What are we doing? Rod you the one who came out here, I ain't ask you to."
"Don't do that...you know very well why I'm here and why I came...I came fa you. The other night you was acting like you knew that pretty well. What's going on with you?"
"Rod..."
"Naw I need to know Whisper, this ain't like you. Why you run off the other night at the club. I was willing to let that shit go when I stopped by here the other day and gave you them lashes but you slammed the door in my face. Na I ain't gon let it go! So what's up wit you?!"
"..."
"Whisper...?" I couldn't hold the water back anymore so I just let it fall. "Whisper..." fa I knew it his hands were around me while I buried my head on top of his shoulder. I miss my friend but I can't be her friend if she ain't willing to let this bitch go...and Rod working at the club wit this bitch...it's all too much. I picked my head up off his shoulder and reached my hand up to caress the side of his face planting a soft kiss on his cheek. As I came up from kissing him my hands brushed against his skin. Looking into his eyes right na all I wanna do is let him inside...but I can't seem to let this shit go and Ion wanna put him through this tonight...he going through enough already.
"Rod...can you just come by another time... I just can't talk about this shit tonight." He held my hand in his stroking one strand of my hair behind my ear.
"Of course..." he said as he let my hand go and I went to go open my door. Whis...?" Soon as my name came from his lips I turned around...
"Yeah..."
"I'm here fa you."
"I know..."
Cliff's POV
"Hahhh... whewww chileee!" I said storming through the front door slamming my Berkin on my table by the door.
"Nigga don't come in the house making all that noise! A bitch is tryna watch her stories!"
"Ooop! Na Granmuva a bitch had a long day that's all, whatchu watching anyway? What's this?" I asked her walking over to sit over on the couch wit her, I miss spending time wit her.
"Did you have a good day Clifford? How errythang wit Keyshawn go...?"
"KEYSHAWN?! That's who you was wit today Cliff?!"
"Lamarques why is you hollering? I thought I told you that this morning."
"Naw you told me you was going out...you ain't say where or who wit."
"Nigga what is the problem? Huh? Why you so mad fa?" When I asked he just got real silent. "Marques...?"
"I ain't mad Cliff..." he said walking over to the couch to sit wit me and Granmuva.
"We'll it's seeming like you mad about sum...what is it?"
"Cliff I gotta tell you...."
*PHONE RINGING*
"Hold on shawty, I'm finna go take this."
"We'll hurry back Murda boy!" I shouted to him as he walked over to the kitchen. He been acting weird since this morning, not to mention last night wit him not stopping by the club, I know his ass was on the radio and he was prolly tired but it's not like him to not tell me shit and act all secretive.
"Clifford baby...you alright?" Shit I almost forgot Granmuva was here, she must've sensed a bitch was getting a lil worried.
"Yeah Granmuva I'm fine."
"You sure baby...? Cause you know I can tell when sum wrong. So either you gon tell me voluntarily what's on ya mind or Imma just find out the shit on my own...I always do..." damn she do got a point. Somehow she always figure out what's wrong wit a bitch so I might as well tell her ole tail.
"Granmuva...I ain't been feeling right. Err since Lamarques ain't come to the club last night I been feeling like he been acting weird."
"Yeah I asked his ass if he was okay earlier..."
"You did?! Well what he say?!" I asked inching over a lil closer to her on the couch placing my hands on top of hers, I needa know what's going on!
"He ain't say much but I did tell him what ever was on his mind her would need to talk bout it soon. I'm sure he will Clifford just wait on it."
"But Granmuva..."
"Shush! Here he come!"
"How you know...?"
"Sorry shawty, that was my mama...she said she waiting on me to figure out when we all gonna go out together. I told her I was waiting on you..."
"Marques you did what?! Na she gon thank Ion wanna rap wit her!" I said slapping him on the arm.
"Shawty I'm just fucking wit you! I told her I was waiting to ask you...but when I did yeen really say nun."
"Marques that's cause I'm nervous..."
"Whatchu gotta be nervous about? Listen shawty we already married and I love the heyell outta you. Errythang gon be good."
"Marques..."
"Clifford let the mane take you and his mama out heyell! This will be good fa you!"
"Good fa me?! Granmuva whatchu mean?!"
"I mean just what I said nigga. Get out ya own damn head and trust that the mane know what he doing!"
"Awe heffa you must not know..." I said tapping my nails in her ear.
"Know what nigga?!"
"That when we do go out yo ass is coming wit us."
"Nigga what?! Why?!"
"Cause Granmuva, since I'm forced to have this sit down you gon have to sit down to!"
"Cliff you don't think I'm tryna force you do you...?" Lamarques asked looking all sad...then I started feeling bad fa what I said just den...fuck!
"Naw baby that's not what I think I'm just..."
"She just scared!"
"Ooop Granmuva?!"
"What it's the truth heyell! Listen baby she always been scared of shit like this...err since she was yay high. I thought she woulda grew outta it by na but I guess not! Anyway when is this sit down so a bitch can make sure she slayed?"
"Granmuva you's a fool." Lamarques said laughing rubbing my thighs. I wanna see my mane happy and I wanna sit down wit his mama but I just been through so much shit it's hard to trust people when they say they really like me fa me.
"Fine Lamarques..."
"You gon let a nigga take you out wit his mama and yo Granmuva Cliff?" He asked smiling big as heyell in my face while he rubbed my left thigh...damn his ass boutta make me fold like a pretzel.
"Yes...I will."
"Good! Don't worry Imma set errythang up, you just make sure you bring yaself and my favorite Granmuva in law."
"Nigga I'm ya only Granmuva in law!" She just so uncouth.
"Hey y'all Imma text Big L ass and tell him a bitch not coming tonight...I needa spend time wit my family.

"Where the fuck he at?!"
"Nigga, don't worry bout all that it's a slow night so you'll be good. Na bitches..." I said turning around from Rod. "Ion know what's going on in here but I do want y'all mafucka's to know we ain't bout that beef! Leave all that shit at the do' ya hear me?"
"We hear you Big L..."
"Good, na club boutta open so get in y'all places, Ahhh Rod you go to the door Imma handle inside tonight."
"Gotchu boss!" After lil nigga went to the door and the gurls left outta the locker room I started walking out to the main floor but Isis still ain't leave.
"Isis...?"
"Ahhh, yeah Big L?" She jumped from out her locker and slammed the door, what's up wit her?
"Why you slamming ya locker...? What's up wit you?"
"Ah, nun you know just wit errybody whispering around here about me...it's all just getting to me."
"Is that right...?" I asked taking a few more steps toward her...sum don't smell right. "What you tryna hide Isis?"
"Ion...Ion know Whatchu talm bout..." she started to shiver as her back pressed up against this locker...
"You know...someone in here stole my shit, you wouldn't know nun about that would you...?
"Ya shit, what shit...?"
"Don't play dumb, you know I sell. Don't thank I don forgot how ya ass was all up at the Kroger in my distribution line."
"I told you I was shopping fa groceries..."
"Shopping fa groceries....or shopping fa product?"
"Look! Ion know what you want me to say Big L, but like you said I gotta go hit that floor!"
"Just know, whoever did take my shit ain't gon make it up outta this bitch." While holding onto her arm I could tell she was spooked, I know she the one who took my shit too. "You can go, I ain't gon hold you." I said letting go of her arm watching her walk out the locker room. My eyes shifted to her locker and I know that's were my load that went missing at, either she gon give me my shit or she gon find out what happens to thieves round here. A few hours had passed and our slow night started coming to an end. Here bitches come wit they tip out na.
"Here you go Big L."
"Wowww, a whole hundred dollars. What was you doing all night Extra? Never mind gon head." I told her pointing to the door, see I knew wit money like this coming in this club wouldn't be safe.
"Big L? Where Uncle Clifford? She off tonight?"
"Wouldn't you like to know? Here just pass me to tip out gurl!"
"Here you go..." after most of the gurls passed me their tip out and started walking outta the office Isis stared walking in.
"Great choice..." I smiled as she put my load on the desk in front of me. I started looking through both bags to see if all my product was here and I almost ain't catch that it wasn't. "Ah, baby gurl where the rest of my shit?!"
"Big L...I."
"Isis don't tell me you fucking got high off the rest of my shit?! You know what...we can fix this...you gon fix this."
"Whatchu...Whatchu mean...?" I passed her the rest of the load she just gave me.
"You gon run this fa me."
"Run it fa you...?"
"Since you got high off most of my shit you gon needa run that same amount. So on top of what you stole you gon run this." I passed her the load Duffy just gave a nigga the other night.
"Big L..."
"I expect my shit by tomorrow, you have a good night na."
The next day...
Cliff's POV
"Lamarques is this too much? I just don't wanna over do it! Are we matching?! Baby?!"
"Cliff..Cliff shawty calm down, you look beautiful...you always do." Lamarques said coming behind me wrapping his arms around my waist. "My shawty always gon stay stealing the show, you, me, and errybody else round here know what's up when you walk in a room..." I couldn't help but smile in this here mirror when he said that last part, looking back at our reflection in the full length I couldn't be happier...I love my baby but I just want his mama to love me too. I turned around to face him putting my hands on his chest.
"Hey...Murda boy...?"
"Yeah Cliff...?"
"Thank you..." I said planting a soft long kiss on his lips, lemme stop fa I get sum started we don't have time to finish. I tried to walk away from him but his ass had a grip round my waist that a bitch ain't wanna break...shit who am I kidding I'm not even trying. "Marques...we gotta go." Fa I knew it he picked up both my hands in his and started kissing 'em.
"A nigga just wanted to kiss this rock fa good luck tonight." He said as his lips came up from my ring. Looking in his eyes right na I wouldn't wanna be here wit no one else, I'm glad he my forever love.
"Alright Marques...let's go..." I said finally escaping his grasp. "C'mon Granmuva."
"Nigga I'm coming!" She stay yelling down the hallway chileee. After we all made it down stairs we started walking to the car. "Hold on a bitch wanna get in the front!"
"Granmuva na you know that's my seat..." I said easing my hands in the air.
"We'll nigga it's my seat today, gon get yo ass in the back."
"Tsstt!" I said waving my hands in the air behind my head walking to get in the back seat. "Thank you baby." I said giving Lamarques a quick peck on the lips as he opened my door fa me. "Queens sit in the back too." Lamarques started driving and as I stared out this car window I couldn't focus my mind on nun else but what his mama might say, yes we did already meet but I was kinda an accident so maybe she ain't say all she wanted to say...I just hope this all go well.
"We here Cliff." Lamarques said putting the car in park, that was fast chileee. "C'mon Shawty you got this..." as he took my hand and guided me up out the backseat he closed the door behind me. I could stare at this Taffe's sign all day if it mean Ion gotta go inside.
"C'mon Clifford, it's gon be alright." Granmuva grabbed my right arm and Lamarques grabbed the other as we walked to the door. Ain't no turning back na.
"Hey Ma!" Lamarques shouted as we walked inside, she already here...hum...? He seem real happy to see her too. Looking at him smile all big I started to smile.
"Let's go Clifford...C'mon here." Granmuva said pulling on me, do this heffa know she can't see?
"Granmuva you a acting like you see this shit."
"Awe! Nigga I see this shit! You forget I been alive longer then you could count and a bitch used to be all up and through Taffe's back in the day."
"Up and through?! Granmuva doing what?"
"What...? Yeen know? Yo Granmuva was the finest piece of ass out chere in these Chucalissa streets! As any of these old niggas you see in here!" She must be telling the truth cause since we walked up in here all the old niggas been eyeing her.
"Granmuva...?" I asked tugging on her hand as one of 'em started approaching us.
"See I told you..." she a fool fa real.
"C'mon let's get over to this here table." I said pointing my nails in the direction Lamarques and his mama was sitting. "Here goes nun..." while we started walking over there I had to remind myself no matter what she say or do I gotta remember who I am. I looked down at one of the rings my momma gave me when I was a teenager and pictured her face in my head. "Baby you got this..." as I closed my eyes I could hear her utter those words...then walk away. She right though.
"Shawty, come sit by me?" Lamarques asked holding out his hand. I helped Granmuva to her seat and went and sat over by him...right across from his mama. "Since we really ain't get to talk much the other night we was together I figured we could talk na...Ma...?" He was focusing all his attention on her so she could say sum but instead of talking she was just staring at me, damn I can't do this shit. My hands started shaking so much they was moving the whole table chileee, so I just ended up putting 'em on my lap. "Calm down shawty you good..." how Lamarques gon say that shit when I'm the one being given the death stare right na. "3...,2...,1" 3,2,1 dafuq this nigga talm bout?!
"I'm just in awe of how beautiful you are, my baby is lucky to call you his boo." Say what?! I found myself not being able to speak, I'm stuck...
"Cliff...?"
"Huh?!" I said as Lamarques broke me outta my trance...I can't believe she just said that.
"You know, my baby be spending a lot of time on her looks...specially this afternoon..."
"Granmuva..."
"I'm just telling the truth na Clifford, if you would pick up jaw up off the floor maybe you would be able to get a word out before me."
"Ooo I like her..."
"Yeah she the best Granmuva in law ever..."
"She is..." I finally was able to speak as my heart rate slowed down, chileee it was racing more den a man on the moon.
"What y'all want, it's my treat."
"Ma... you sure? Cause a nigga can cover the shit."
"I'm sure Marques, after all a bitch did come out here to spend time wit y'all. So since I asked y'all out it's my treat!"
"Say less..." he said picking up the menu...but then his phone chimed. When it did...his facial expression changed.
"Hey...Hey...Marques you okay...?" I asked rubbing my hand against his shoulder, I ain't seen him like this since that morning Keyshawn called from jail. "Marques...?"
"Cliff...Ma...Granmuva Ernestine? While I got y'all all here I gotta tell y'all sum."
"Tell us sum...?"
"Marques what's this about?"
"Baby is errythang okay...?" I could tell all us asking at the same time was really starting to overwhelm him. "Baby you wanna talk sumwhure else fa a minute...?"
"Yeah...Yeah excuse us y'all." Me and him got up from the table and started walking outside Taffe's. He held his hand in mine and said "Walk wit me...?"
"Of course..." we started walking around the parking lot then made our way down to the river and during all this he still ain't tell me what was on his mind. "Hey...Lamarques what is it...?" I asked finally stopping and pulling him to stop wit me.
"Cliff...I..."
"Yeah..."
"Cliff...I..." looking into his eyes as the sun gleamed on his face I could see his eyes start to fill wit water.
"Baby what is it...? Hum?" I asked bringing my hands up from holding his to put them on the sides of his face...what could possibly have him this upset when we came here to enjoy ourselves?
"Cliff...I got an opp..."
"Well that's good!" I said smiling, he wasn't though... "Marques what is it...?"
"It's in Atlanta.."
