DeeDee POV
I woke up with the meanest headache of my life.
"Dam it." I said.
I looked around and automatically knew where I was.
"Oh shit." I said.
I got up and threw on a pair of short I saw in the room.
I got out and as soon as I stepped out in the hall I was blinded by the brightness of the light.
When I stepped out I saw a guy with a plate of food in his hand.
"Looking for Rico?" He asked.
I nodded my head and he pointed to the room next door.
"Thanks." I mumbled.
I walked in the room and saw him sleeping. I gently closed the door and walked over to his bed to see him.
He looked as though he was smiling. Before I knew it he pulled out a gun from under the pillow and pointed at me.
"Creep why you watching me sleep?" He asked getting out the bed.
"I came to see if you were up and to wake you. Not watch you sleep." I said.
I looked down and saw him shirtless and in shorts.
He smirked and threw the gun at me.
"This yours. You dropped it at the club last night." He said.
I put the gun down and held my head sitting on the bed.
"The club. What happened at the club?" I asked.
"You got drunk, started shaking your ass, then you passed out." He said.
I rubbed my head and groaned.
"I didn't do anything I would regret did I?" I asked.
He shook his no.
"Well I mean, you did ask me to sleep with you." He said getting up and walking to the door.
"Wait what?" I asked getting up.
"You said, and I quote, Come in the bed and sleep with me. I want you to lay down the pipe." He said.
I bussed out laughing making the pounding in my head worst.
"You're out of control I didn't say that." I said.
He shrugged his shoulders.
"Maybe maybe not. I guess we'll never know." He said smiling.
"I'm a get you some stuff to freshen up." He said walking out.
I nodded my head and inspected the room. I looked at the bedside and saw his phone on a table.
Thottie🤫
Thottie Twin Sister🤫🤷🏾♀️
Lasiem💙🙅🏾♀️
Missed Called From Unknown
Main Hoe😌💗
I rolled my eyes and put his phone down knowing I wouldn't be able to get in. I saw my phone next to his and picked it up checking the messages.
Why the fuck he had my phone in the first place?
I saw that Jaheim had texted me and Ayanna texted me but I also noticed that I got a new follower on Instagram and that person liked multiple photos on my page.
I looked deeper and saw that it was Ricardo.
Of course.
I started preeing his page and noticed he posted a picture last night.
Me and shorty had the club litt last night💗
He was sitting in a couch at the club with a girl next to him throwing up the middle finger. Her face was cover but of course I knew who the girl was.
It was me by the way.
I didn't think of it as anything at first but the more I thought about the more I got nervous.
What if someone he follows sees it and knows it me?
What if someone puts two together and realize we a thing?
At that moment he said my name making me jump.
"Why you so jumpy what you doing?" He asked.
"Nothing." I said quickly.
He snatched my phone and looked at him. When he say what I was looking at he smirked.
"You know that's you right?" He asked.
I nodded my head.
"But what if someone puts two and two together and realize that-"
"Shhh." He said making me quiet down.
"Ain't nobody gonna realize nothing. Anyone that would come up with the assumption that Ricardo Santana and "Dee Stacks" were together in a club would sound like a madman." He said.
I thought about.
He's right.
But the thought left a uneasy feeling in my stomach.
"Here take these and go in the bathroom to freshen up. And stop worrying it's annoying." He complained walking away.
I went in to the bathroom and started brushing my teeth and washing my face. But I also started to think about was he right or do I have ever right to be freaking out.
"Am I really think too hard?" I asked myself.
I just shook the thought and dried my face.
I walked out the bathroom and he got up off the bed as if he was waiting for me.
"Come to my study." He said holding my hand.
I gave him a confusing look but followed him down the hall. This place was pretty big and I don't see why.
It's not like his aunts and uncles and cousins live here it's just him and his niggas.
We pulled up to a room that had a desk and chairs. He sat in the big chair while I sat across from him.
There was breakfast sitting in front of us and I quickly went to go eat cause I was starving.
"Ight so let's talk business." He said.
I began to eat and listen.
"So I got word that there's this nigga going around bragging about how he doesn't like us and how we pussy blah blah blah right? So I was thinking we run down and question him. What do you say?" He asked.
I continue to eat and looked at him.
"What?" He asked.
"Sounds like a lot of work." I said.
He gave me a shocked look.
"What?" He asked confused.
"You herd me." I said
"But I guess I don't have no choice huh?" I asked.
"Well someone is plotting on trying to bring down your family and my family and we can't let that happen now can we?" He asked.
I smirked and leaned closer.
"They can take down your family and leave mine alone." I said.
He chuckled.
"Now you know if they did that you would be heartbroken." He said.
I chuckle.
"If that's what you think." I said continuing to eat.
Our conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in." Ricardo said eating.
The door opened and it was his ex-girlfriend. The one that let me free from the handcuffs.
Yeah that one.
"Ricardo baby I-"
She paused when she saw me.
"YOU!" She said loudly.
She ran over to me and I quickly took the fork I was eating with and put it at her neck. I pushed her so her back was against the wall and pushed the fork against her neck.
I looked over at Ricardo.
"I don't like having girls running up on me." I said.
"It makes me nervous." I said turn my head to look at her.
He let out a sigh.
"Let her go." He said.
I back away making her gasp.
"Look. I just came to talk to you." She said to Ricardo.
"Alone." She said glaring me.
I looked at Ricardo who let out a sigh.
"Just give us a minute." He said.
I left the room but not without grilling the girl one more time.
I started to walk around the strangly quite and big house.
Stop being paranoid.
As soon as I was about to calm down I herd the floor boards creak making me turn around quickly and pull out my gun Ricardo gave me earlier.
When I saw who it was I let out a sigh.
"You're Ricardo's cousin right? Sorry I'm a bit on edge." I said.
He gave me a confusing look.
"Why?" Lasiem asked.
"I just bumped in to his ex-girl and she's doesn't really like me." I said.
He chuckled.
"Well you could hang with me while they chat it up." He said.
I shrugged my shoulders. "I guess." I replied.
I followed him downstairs in to the living room. I sat down on the couch and he sat next to me. A random football game was going on so I decided to watch it.
"So you and my cousin huh?" He asked taking my attention.
"It's...complicated." I said.
"How so?" He asked.
"I don't really do relationships. I'm not a relationship type of girl." I said.
"And why is that?" He questioned.
"I'm a busy person and I got a lot of brothers. I just don't have time for a boyfriend and if I did they all would be scared of my brothers." I said.
"Your brothers? How many do you have?" He asked.
"A whole block full. Maybe more." I said.
He started chuckling.
"I think I have a little understanding on why my cousin is dealing with you." Lasiem said.
Ricardo's POV
"What do you want Rocky?" I asked.
She sat down on my desk.
"I want you back baby." She said caressing my face.
I took her hand and moved it.
"I'm not interested." I said.
"Why? Cause you fucking with that bitch downstairs?" She asked aggressively.
I stood up making her flinch back.
"That bitch downstairs had about 2 opportunities to kill your ass so don't disrespect her." I said.
"Who is she? And why does she have you acting like this?" She questioned in disgust.
"Acting like what?"
"Defensive. You never acted like this with me or your other hoes." She explained.
"Cause y'all hoes. Y'all for everyone." I replied.
"I am not a hoe and you don't even know her. You met her like three days ago." She said.
"Listen are we done here? I don't got time to be arguing with you over my business." I said.
She got up and rolled her eyes. "Whatever." She said walking out.
"But just know you are gonna need me one day." She said.
"So can I at least get my job back?" She asked.
I let out a sigh rubbing my head.
She was giving me a headache.
"Whatever fine." I said.
Lasiem POV
This girl was.....weird.
She knew I was a opp, she knew she was in opp territory, yet she's sitting here having a convo with me as if it was nothing.
She looked at me deep in my eyes as if she was trying to figure out something.
"What?" I asked.
"Let's cut the crap and get straight to the point. You don't trust me and I could see it in your eyes, you're trying to figure out something but I dont know what so why don't you ask instead of sweet talking me." She said.
I was took of guard at first but chuckled.
"So you're good at reading people." I said.
"It's a gift now talk." She said.
I leaned in close to her.
"What are you plotting with my cousin?" I asked.
She started laughing and put her foot up on the table.
"That's it? That's what you wanted to know?" She asked.
"Yes cause you got my cousin acting like a dam fool bringing a opp to the house now talk." I said.
She smiled.
"I'm not plotting nothing." She said.
"Bullshit." I replied.
"No seriously. Your cousin is pretty interested in me and I don't know why. Only reason why I do stick around is because we have unfinished business."
"What kind of business?" I asked.
"Ah ah ah. Can't give you all the info can I?" She asked.
I let out a frustrating sigh.
"You wanna know what I do think though?" She asked.
"What?" I asked annoyed.
"I think you're jealous." She replied.
"Pshhh get the fuck outta here. Jealous of what?" I asked.
She shrugged her shoulders.
"I dont know. But I could see the envy in your eyes and it has nothing to do with me being an opp." She said proudly.
"You're delusional." I said
"Maybe." She said. "Or maybe I'm just right."
Ricardo POV
I went to show this bitch the door when I saw Lasiem and DeeDee sitting on the couch chattin it up. They were close and looked like they were whispering some shit over there.
What the fuck
"Yo!" I said.
They both turned around.
"Come her DeeDee. Lasiem show Rocky the door for me." I said.
DeeDee came upstairs and followed me back to my bedroom. I closed the door.
DeeDee POV
"The fuck were you doing with my cousin downstairs." He asked.
"Woah." I said.
"Woah nothing. If I find out you tryna fuck my cousin-"
"You gonna what kill me?" I asked.
"Nah. I'm a fuck you." He said.
"Yea ight I wish you-"
"Wait...what?" I asked confused.
"You herd me." He said smirking and getting close.
"You okay?" I asked trying to back up.
"Wassup with you and my cousin?" He asked still smirking.
"Nothing. If anything you should be asking your cousin wassup with him. He's convinced that I wanna use you for some reason." I said leaning on his desk.
He gave me a strong look as if he was trying to figure out if I was lying or something.
"Yea. He doesn't trust you and he doesn't like what's going on between us. But he's my cousin and he trust me so he'll stick by my side." He said.
I nodded my head.
"How I know you not using me?" I asked. "Your cousin swearing up and down that I'm the enemy but how I know you not?" I asked.
He chuckled softly and walked closer to me. He took his arms and wrapped it around my waist.
"I'm digging your vibe and you cute that's the truth. We got opp niggas coming after us and I know you gonna blast at them so I trust you. You just gonna have to trust me." He said.
He kissed me on the lips and my heart started racing.
Ricardo's POV
I mean everything I had said was true. I do like her but I gotta remember the plan. However I'm a have to put that plan on pause and find out who them niggas coming after the both of us.
She's smart and I know I lowkey got her trust. She doesn't seem that interested in me but at the same time I feel like she is.
She did agree to be my girl but she did it so quick I can't tell if she gonna set me up or really do like a nigga.
Dam she a tough one forreal.
I stopped kissing her and let out a smile.
"You so difficult." I said.
She rolled her eyes.
"You're worst than me." She replied walking away.
"Where you going?" I asked.
"Home." She said.
"Why?" I replied following her.
She laughed.
"Because I already spent the night. My brothers probably wondering where I'm at." She said.
"So just text them and tell them you good."
I know. I sound like a feen.
In reality I like to keep an eye on her. I like to know she's safe and in one piece so that's why I like her around me.
She chuckled. "I also have to go to school." She said.
She went in the corner of my room and was about to pull her shorts down till she realized I was still there.
"Turn around." She said.
I rolled my eyes and left the room leaving her to change.
I decided to go downstairs and find out wassup with Lasiem weird ass.
He was in the same position I left him before. watching that dam game.
"Lasiem wassup with you and questioning my girl?" I asked.
He chuckled. "Wassup with this unfinished business y'all got?" He asked.
I sat next to him.
"Could you not blow up my spot with shorty? The more questions you ask the more suspicious she'll get." I said.
He chuckled.
"Alright I'll back off. But I could see why you're interested in her." He said.
I gave him a confusing look.
"She's interesting for a opp bitch. She got this certain way with her, I can't explain. The bitch is weird." He said.
I laughed at this dumb niggas way of describing her.
"And you thought I liked her." I said.
"Oh no nigga. I still think you like her. But now I could actually understand why." Lasiem replied.
"Whatever bro just stop making it obvious and me and her are going on a drill tonight so after she leave we out to the trap." I said.
"Dam now you taking her to drill missions?" Lasiem asked.
"Yo you jealous or something?" I asked chuckling.
"No!" He said quickly.
"Okay then shut up." I said.
He took a pillow from off the couch and hit me. I hit him back and we ended up slap boxing in the living room.
Footsteps caught our attention and DeeDee came downstairs look good as always.
"My time here has expired so I'll catch y'all later." She said.
We looked at her out of breath and tired.
"Y'all was fighting or something?" She asked.
"Fighting sounds fair I was legit beating his ass." Lasiem said.
I sucked my teeth and pushed him.
"Whatever. Lemme walk you to your car Dee."
I followed her out the door and to her car. She got in and I just looked at her.
"So tonight?" I asked.
She let out a sigh.
"I don't see why not." She said in a non caring tone.
I grilled her making her smile.
She kissed me on my lips taking me off guard. Before I could even react she backed away.
"Bye Ricardo." She replied cheesing hard.
I really ain't want to but she doing that just caused me to smile hard and back away from the car.
I watched her drove away and went back in the house with Lasiem.

DeeDee POV
At this point I was done with school and my little time trapping. I was in the car with Ricardo and we were about to run up in this niggas house that was talking shit.
"You ready?" Ricardo asked putting on his masked.
I checked the gun for bullets and nodded my head.
"Let's go." I said.
We got out the car and ran to the front door of the house.
"One two three."
Ricardo kicked the door down and I went in first gun drawn. I pointed it to the first person I saw which was a guy sitting on the coach watch TV.
He got up to run but I shot at him making him freeze.
"Make one move and I won't miss this time." I said.
Ricardo grabbed him and threw him up against the wall.
"You was talking hot in the streets and you thought it was gonna come back to us?" Ricardo asked.
"I dont know what you're talking about." The guy lied.
Ricardo sat him down in a chair and punched him making him literally fly out of the chair.
God Dam.
Ricardo hand was bleeding but he didn't look phased at all.
He picked him up and sat him back down on the chair.
"Lie again." Ricardo said.
This time the nigga just laughed. He looked up with a sinister smirk on his face.
Footsteps caught all of our attention and we looked over to see some bitch coming from upstairs with popcorn in her hand.
We all stop to look at her.
"Babe run." The guy said.
She ran to the kitchen and I ran right after her. She grabbed a knife and chuck it towards me.
It cut my arm making me grab it quickly.
"Dam bitch." I said.
She grabbed another one and ran towards me with it. As she was running I just moved to the side and grabbed the hand with the knife in it.
I twisted her arm making her drop the knife and she screamed. I grabbed her by her shirt and dragged over to the stove.
I took my hand and wrapped it around her hair turning on the stove so we could see the flame.
"Now you're gonna tell me what you know about Dee Stacks and Ricardo right now." I said.
"I don't know shit." She replied.
"For some reason I don't believe you." I said.
I pushed her face closer and closer to the flame.
"Stop Stop please." She begged.
"Tell me what you know or you'll have a burn on your face like that nigga from the Avatar." I said pushing closer.
"Okay okay just listen. My boyfriend he's deep in the streets and he basically was saying that Dee Stacks and Ricardo Santana are going down." She said.
"Going down how shorty? That doesn't help me."
I pushed her head down closer to the flame. She began crying and her tears hit the flame making it sizzle.
"I wouldn't cry. Your tears would only make things worst." I said.
"I don't know he said something about people from the hoods are teaming up to get rid of both sides." She said.
"WHO WHO? I NEED A NAME." I yelled.
I pushed her face in and I herd the sound of her cheek burning.
She screamed from the pain.
"BARRY KING! BARRY KING!" She yelled.
I pulled her up.
"I'm sorry what was that?" I asked.
"Barry king." She said out of breath.
"I don't know who he is but all the guns and weapons come from him." She said.
"Thats it?" I asked.
She nodded her head. "That's all I know." She said crying.
I looked in her eyes and could tell she was telling the truth. I took my gun and put it up at her chin pulling the trigger.
Blood got all over my face which made me upset.
"Dam it." I said to myself.
I wiped my face with my sleeve and turned around to see Ricardo staring at me.
"I got a name." I said.
"Oh yea?" He asked smiling.
"Yea." I replied back.
He just kept staring and smirking at me.
"Something on my face?" I asked.
"Blood." He replied smartly.
"The gunshot went off meaning someone had to have called the cops. Let's go before we get caught." I said ignoring his smart remark.
He nodded his head and I followed him out the house. I got in the car and he sped away from the crime scene.
~
When we arrived to his house it was completely empty.
"Where is everyone?" I asked.
"Maybe in the basement or at the trap. But come upstairs to my room so we could get rid of your bloody clothes." He said.
He walked me over to the bathroom and told me to sit on the counter.
He took a warm rag and gave it to me.
"Wipe your face with this." He said.
I wiped my face with the warm rag and let out a deep breath. At that moment I felt a sharp pain in my arm making me grab my arm.
Ricardo quickly looked at me and grabbed my arm.
"You got cut." He said.
"No shit." I replied.
"Lemme help you with it." He said going to take out a first aid kit.
I watched him and looked at the cut on my arm. It wasn't deep but there was a lot of blood coming out.
He looked at me.
"I'm a need you take off you shirt." He said.
I let out a sigh and took it off reveling my undershirt.
He looked at me and I smirked.
"You was expecting to see my bra?" I asked.
"Shut up." He mumbled focusing on my cut.
He started to attend to my cut which hurt like hell because of the alcohol he put it on.
He placed an big ass band-aid on it and leaned against the counter and let out a sigh.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Yea. Just tired. We'll talk in the morning okay?" He asked.
"I have classes in the morning but I'll come see you after if that's what you want?" I asked.
He looked at me and smirk.
"Why you being so sweet?" He asked.
I started blushing.
"What are you talking about?" I asked getting off the counter.
"Stop fronting I know you care for me." He said.
"I mean if that helps you sleep at night." I said walking to the door.
He followed me, opened the front door, and I walked out.
"Hol up." He said leaning on the door frame.
I turned around and looked at him.
"No hug?" He asked with his arms open.
I smiled and walked over to him. He pulled me in to a tight hug and kissed my forehead.
"Get home safe you herd?" He asked.
"You know me niggas can't catch me lackin." I replied waving my gun and smiling.
He couldn't help but smile.
"Good night Dee." He said.
Ricardo's POV A couple of minutes before
DeeDee went in to the kitchen to go after the girl. I looked over at the little nigga who was running his mouth.
I took off my mask and when he saw my face he laughed.
"Talk." I said.
"Suck my dick." He said.
I hit him making him spit blood.
"You was running your mouth in the streets so run it now." I said.
He smirked.
"You and that Dee Stacks nigga better enjoy y'all little time while y'all got it. Cause niggas is coming for y'all." He said.
"Who?" I asked.
He shrugged his shoulders and I punched him again.
"Lie again." I said.
I looked over at the nigga who was bleeding. I thought about the amount of time going on and realize it's quiet where the girls are at.
"I think your girl over there hurting." I said to him.
His eyes got wide.
"Okay just listen ight. Nobody wants the same old niggas running the streets no more. We tired of y'all niggas running shit, I mean it's been years and nothings changed." He said.
"Nothing changed? We keep it in the family." I replied.
"That's the problem. Nobody wants that, new niggas wanna come up." He said.
"Greedy ass niggas." I replied.
"You sure that's not y'all?" He asked.
I punched him.
"Watch your mouth. Who's y'all boss?" I asked.
He laughed.
"Just kill me." He said.
I shrugged my shoulders.
"You asked." I said.
I took out my knife and put it at his throat.
"I hope niggas don't find out about your girl. It would be a shame if something happened to her." He said.
"Keep her name out your mouth." I said pressing the knife against his throat.
"I don't remember who's family it was. But one of y'all got a snake in the family." He said.
"Which family?" I asked.
At that moment he took his hand and moved my own to cut his own throat.
"Dam it." I said frustrated.
I herd screaming coming from the kitchen and ran over.
I saw DeeDee torturing that girl.
Dam ma I knew you was savage but jeez.
I watch her question her and knew she really been out here in these streets. She pulled the trigger without hesitation making me look at her in shock.
I think I'm in love.
"I got a name." She said.
"Oh yea?" I asked feeling like a proud parent.
"Yea." She replied back.
I couldn't help but smile.
She got more info then me
End of flashback
I watch her get in to her car and drive off. I went upstairs and took a hot ass shower washing away the blood on my knuckles from fucking this nigga up.
I had to pay off the cops that found him and his girl body at the scene so I went in my safe to gather the money.
As soon as I was a bout to drop off the cash I gotta call from my uncle.
"Yo." I said.
"I'm parked up outside. Come out." He said.
I let out a sigh and rolled my eyes.
A nigga just wanna get some sleep.
I took the cash and met my uncle in his car.
"Wassup uncle." I said.
"Wassup. You okay? You look extremely drained." He said.
"Yea I just got done handing some shit. Was bout to go pay off some cops." I said dryly.
So tired.
"Oh yea I know what you mean." He said.
"But look I just wanted to check on you and hear about the update on that Dee Stacks girl or what she is." He said.
Dam it.
When he said that my stomach started to knot.
Why is it every time I'm around her I forget the main objective?
"I gotta big date with her tomorrow night and I'm sure as hell she'll let me in on her family unc. Things are taking time but I'll update you as soon as possible." I lied.
He chuckled. "I'm not pressuring you. Believe me I trust you." My uncle said.
I chuckled. "I gotchu unc." I said.
He slapped my back and laughed.
"Lemme go handle this for you. Get some rest." My uncle said.
I nodded my head and thanked him.
I let out a deep sigh and shook my head.
Dam it what did I get myself in to.
