DeeDee's POV After Her Classes
I was so tired in class today I could barely focus. My arm hurts from yesterday but it ain't nothing I can't handle.
Jaheim was asking me so many questions last night it was as if he was the police himself.
Flashback
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPEN TO YOUR ARM?" He yelled.
"I gotta cut on a drill Jah relax I'm fine." I said.
"How you go on a drill without niggas. You on some weird independent boss bitch shit?" He asked.
"And so what if I am?" I asked laughing.
But he didn't laugh.
"Well then your life is on the line. Akekeke to that." He said.
I rolled my eyes.
Here comes the overprotective parent role he wanna play.
"I'm fine and I wasn't alone calm down." I said.
He started staring at me and squinting his eyes as if he was trying to figure out something.
"Whattt?" I asked annoyed.
"You went with your little hood boyfriend huh?" Keem asked.
I automatically started blushing.
"No. Stop. Leave me alone." I said tying to walk away.
But Jaheim blocked my only way to go upstairs.
"Ooooo so that's why you've been acting like a goofy goober." He said.
I grilled him. At this point everyone in the living room was listening and I felt attacked.
"We wanna meet this nigga." Jaheim said.
"WE?!" I asked.
"Yup I'm a have one of my bitches come cook a big ass meal and I want you to invite him over." He said.
"Issa no for me dawg." I said.
He nodded his head.
"Okay do you rather we follow you and go to his house instead?" Jah asked.
I nearly fainted right then and there.
"Okay okay. Fine you guys got it just leave me alone let me fine a date." I mumbled going upstairs.
Flashback Over.
Just the thought of that gave me shivers. I pulled up at Ricardo's house and opened the front door which he left unlock for me.
"D that's you?" He yelled.
"Yea it's me." I said taking of my shoes and going to sit next to him on the couch.
He had his eyes focused on the TV screen but as soon as he saw me he gave me a big ass smile.
"Wassup baby." He said smiling and getting up to give me a hug.
I hugged him and couldn't help but roll my eyes and smile.
"Why you so happy?" I asked.
He shrugged his shoulders. "Just happy to see you." He said.
I rolled my eyes again.
He's so corny.
"Wassup tho. How's your arm?" He asked touching it.
"It hurts but nothing I'm not used to. Wassup with you?" I asked.
"Nothing been chilling in the house all day." He said.
"You don't have a job? Like I dont know...trapping?" I asked.
He started laughing. "I dealt with all that trapping shit after you left me last night. But I don't want talk about that trap shit." He said.
"So what do you wanna talk about hun?" I asked. staring at him and resting my arm on the couch.
"Us." He said.
My heart started to pound.
"What about us?" I asked.
"What are we?" He questioned.
I looked at him and smirked.
"Whatever you want us to be bae." I said stroking his face.
He licked his lips and closed his eyes as if he was trying to hold something back.
"Please don't do that if you not tryna have kids." He said.
I started laughing.
"Ok ok. We're enemies that do things that couples would do. We friends with benefits just without the friends part." I said as if that made sense.
"Enemies with benefits?" He asked.
I nodded my head. "Mhmm." I said.
He thought about it and shrugged his shoulders.
"As long as I get to kiss up on you I'm fine with it." He said kissing all over my face.
I started laughing. "Alright alright I get it." I said.
"You wanna talk about last night events now?" I questioned.
He shook his head no.
"What's on your mind then?" I asked. "Cause it's obvious you wanna tell me something." I said.
He took a moment to gather his thoughts.
"You gonna let me take you on a date?" He asked.
"Okay Kentrell If you say so." I said.
He laughed. "I ain't got no herpes shut up." He said.
"You sure?" I asked.
He thought about it.
"Yea."
I gave him a shock look and he started laughing.
"I'm joking I'm clean." He said.
"That's what they all said." I mumble.
"You wanna fight?" He asked.
"Wassup?" I asked excited.
He chuckled. "You really like fighting huh?" He asked.
"Slap boxing is my hobby." I said.
"That's cute. Too bad we not fighting." He said.
"Pussy." I said.
"You are what you eat." He said winking.
I became flustered.
He says these things with such ease and it takes me off guard making me embarrassed.
"You're so cute when you be blushing." He said.
"Whatever." I replied.
"But forreal you wanna go out tonight? Like official official?" He asked.
"How official we talking?" I asked.
"We pop out in our best fits, drive in an expensive ass car, and eat and drink some expensive ass shit." He said.
I thought about it.
"And it's all gonna be on you right?" I asked.
He laughed. "Of course baby I'm a gentleman." He said.
I thought about it.
"I don't see why not." I replied.
"Okay then it's a deal. Tonight around 7:30 or so I'll come through and pick you up." He said.
I nodded my head agreeing. But realized what he just said.
What if he comes to pick me up and my brothers want to me him right then and there?
Just that thought made me nervous.
"What is it DeDe you looked like you seen a ghost." Ricardo said.
"My brothers wanna meet you." I blurted out.
He took a moment to process what I said.
"....what." He said.
"Basically I came home last night and some how they knew I was with you..and then they saw the cut on my arm so now they wanna have a dinner and meet you." I said quickly.
"When?! Tonight?!" He asked.
"I dont know I wasn't given a date...I just felt like I should tell you from now. Like as a warning." I said.
He let out a deep breath.
"Oh good. As long as it's not tonight we good, I really wanted us to go on this date." He said.
I gave him a confusing look.
"You not nervous about meeting my brothers?" I asked.
"Nahhh. I'm just your average hood nigga to them. They don't know I'm their enemy." He said calmly.
Knowing that he wasn't nervous made me feel so good. I sat up on the couch and wrapped my legs around his waist, giving him a big hug.
"You're the best." I said smiling.
"Why you say?" He chuckled.
I shrugged my shoulders. "I'm a keep it real with you. You make me smile and feel good and I don't know why." I said.
He couldn't help but smile and show off his sexy ass grillz.
"I love when you smile." I mumble kissing him on his neck.
"Mhmmm." He said rubbing my back as I kissed on him.
"Stop. The boys is upstairs." Ricardo said trying to pull me off him.
"Like I care." I whispered in his ear.
I put my hand in his pants making him jump up and place me down on the couch.
"Dam it DeDe." He said running off.
I couldn't help but buss out laughing at his reaction.
He's too cute.
Ricardo's POV
I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom closing the door and letting out a deep breath. I looked in the mirror and started splashing water on myself.
I can't do this to her.
She's a good girl, my enemy yes but she's sweet.
I can't keep leading her on like this.
I'm not gonna lie a part of me want her and want to stop playing her, but the other part has to remember the plan.
But dam she's so fine, a savage like me, god dam it what am I going to do.
I look at my hand as it started to shake.
"Fuck." I said.
I got out the bathroom and went back downstairs to her.
"You good?" She asked.
"Yea..yea I'm good." I said.
"I gotta head to the trap to deal with some personal shit." I lied.
"Is everything okay?" She questioned.
"Yea it's just that me doing nothing in the house wouldn't last forever." I said.
She rolled her eyes and got up.
"Whatever." She said.
It was clear she didn't buy it but she didn't ask questions.
She just left making me feel bad for some reason.
I let out a sigh.
I had to kick her out after that. I wanted to talk to Lasiem about it and I didn't want to leave her downstairs by herself or risk her coming to look for me and hearing our convo.
I knocked on Lasiem door and waited for him to let me in.
"I thought you was downstairs with your girl." He said.
"I was."
"But?" He asked.
"But she put her hands down my pants and I freaked out." I said.
He gave me a confusing look.
"Normally I'm down for fucking on a couch but when she did that. I just felt bad and I couldn't do it to her. What's wrong with me? Like do I not want to fuck?" I asked genuinely concerned.
He chuckled.
"Nigga your guilty conscience is fucking with you. I didn't even think you had a guilty consciences till now." Lasiem said.
"Same but what the fuck does that mean? We basically could have making babies on the fucking couch and I freaked out and couldn't do it." I said.
He chuckled. "Ain't it obvious?" Lasiem asked.
I gave him a confusing look.
"You're in love." He said.
I gave him look mixed with shock and confusion.
"In love? I don't love her nigga I just met her and she a opp." I said.
"Instead of saying you were gonna fuck her you said make babies. It's obvious you want to be her baby father. That's love right there." Lasiem said laughing.
"Come on. Be serious." I said stress.
"I am that's the only way I could explain it. Unless you tell her the truth about what you're doing. You're gonna have a tough time with her." He said.
"I can't tell her the truth. It's gonna hurt her and she'll kill me." I said.
"Since when you care about feelings and that's why we own guns nigga." Lasiem said.
"She's different. If she find out she'll legit murder me. I've got a feel of her craziness and she's lowkey attach already. One bad move...and I don't know what she'll do." I said.
"So lemme get this straight." Lasiem said standing up.
"You don't wanna see her hurt physically and emotionally. You're scared of what she'll do to you if you find out. She's you're opp and you're catching feelings." Lasiem said.
I sat down with my face in my hand and let out a frustrating groan.
"Her brothers want to meet me." I mumbled.
"What?" He asked.
"Her brothers want to meet me. As in dinner at her house." I said.
"Woah. You're pretty good at this." Lasiem said.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"This is good. Get to know them. Get the inside scoop then report back." Lasiem said.
He walked over to me and looked me in my eye.
"Remember the plan. Don't let your feelings play a role in the business." Lasiem said reassuring me.
I nodded my head.
"You right." I said.
"You right."

DeeDee POV
After leaving Ricardo weird ass I went over to see Ayanna in the hospital and tell her what's up.
We started talking about the baby and how his condition is getting better and better as the days go by. The convo was going good till she brought up her weird ass cousin.
"Wassup with y'all tho." She said.
I shrugged my shoulders. "I dont know he did some weird shit today." I said.
"Please eleborate." She said.
"Okay so I'm at his house right?"
"Alone?" She asked.
"Nah he said his niggas were upstairs." I said.
"So basically I'm kissing all up on his neck and I put my hand down his pants, this nigga jumps up, disappears, and then basically kicks me out the house." I said.
She gave me a shocked look.
"Were you planning on fucking on his couch with his niggas being upstairs?" She asked.
I started laughing.
"Nah of course not I just wanted to see...what he was gonna let me do." I said.
She gave me a confusing look.
"I was just tryna wrap him around my finger and get him to do stuff." I said laughing.
She laughed too.
"So you do like him?" She asked.
I thought about it for a second.
"I like hanging with him. Something about him makes me happy even tho he's my opp." I said.
She smiled really hard.
"Maybe you made him nervous." She said.
"Yea right. I doubt I could make that nigga nervous." I said.
"I'm pretty sure he feels the same way about you. That you feel about him." She said.
"He better. He got me sneaking around, lieing and shit. I'm a legit murder him if he cheats or is playing me." I said.
She laughed but I wasn't joking.
"Which is understandable for your character." She said.
"Yea. He better not play. Cause I'll murk him myself." I said.
At that moment the door open and it was Ricardo.
"That's how true it is." Ayanna mumbled.
"I'm tired of seeing you everytime I come here." I said.
He laughed.
"Can't never be tired of me mama." He said.
I rolled my eyes.
"Well I guess that's my que for me to go." I said going to give Ayanna a hug.
"I'll see you later." I told her.
I grilled Ricardo while walking to the exit.
He smirked and grabbed me by my shirt pulling me to him.
"Stop fucking playing with me." He said.
He kissed me on cheek and let me go.
"Text me when you get home." He said.
I started giggling like a idiot.
"Okayyy." I said.
Why the fuck....
I walked out the room and took my dumbass home.
Ricardo's POV
I watched the door and watched her walk out. When she left and I let out a deep breath.
Ayanna looked over at me smiled.
"Whatchu smiling at goofy?" I asked.
"You in loveeee?" She said in a singing tone of voice.
I sucked my teeth.
"Wassup with that love word y'all keep saying." I said.
"Y'all?" She asked.
"Lasiem." I said.
"Aww. I haven't seen my little cousin since I got shot." She said.
"He's been busy and he misses you. I've been slacking a little cause of shorty so he's picking up my weight." He said.
"You say it like it's a bad thing." She said.
"Maybe it is." I replied.
She rolled her eyes. "Oh please meeting her was probably the best thing for you." She said.
"I dont know what I got myself in to." I said wiping my face.
"So what if you're dating your opp. Y'all like each other that's all that matters. Just hope nobody finds out." She said.
"It's not just that tho." I mumbled.
"What?" She asked.
"Nothing." I said.
"Whatever just know you break her heart and she coming for you."
"What made you say that?" I asked.
"She told me." She said.
I became interested. "What she said exactly?" I asked.
"That if she finds out you cheating or tried to play her. She's gonna legit murder you."
My eyes got wide but I quickly tried to hide it.
She laughed.
"You're scared of her?" She asked.
"No. Shut up." I said.
"Well then what is it. Cause I know it's something." She said.
"She's just...different. She not like these other girls. I've peeped certain stuff she's capable of doing and she really is a street nigga stuck in a girls body." I said.
"Yeah I know. That's why I wanted you to deal with her." She said.
I rolled my eyes.
"I'm serious. She's too tough and she need a nigga like you too soften her up. I mean she basically just melted in your hands when you roughed her up." She said.
"Yea well I'm not in love with her so don't say that. I just like fucking with her." I said.
"She makes you happy?" She asked.
My cheeks automatically started to rise and I couldn't help but smile.
"Yea...you could say that." I said looking down.
"That's funny cause she says the same thing about you." Ayanna replied.
"Really?" I asked surprised.
She nodded her head.
"What else y'all be talking bout?" I asked.
She laughed.
"Girl talk." She said.
"Yeah whatever. If I'm the topic of y'all conversation just say it." I said.
"You wish." She said.
I laughed.
"Talked to you pops?" I asked.
She nodded her head.
"Yea he's doing him. Checking on the kid once and while, sending money."
"But." I said.
"But I just wish he was actually here. Like actually come instead of calling you know?" I asked.
"Yea but you know his situation. He can't make things too obvious." He said.
She let out a sigh.
"Yeah I know." She said.
When it comes to Ayanna and her father she can't really see him because then that would make it obvious that that's his daughter and people would want to hurt her.
I stood up.
"Lets go see you're son." I said moving away from that topic.
