ACE POV
It's been 3 months since I last seen, Clarence. Since then my life has been great. The grand opening of my club is tomorrow, and my mami is ACTUALLY going to come. My brother Alejandro is too. He hasn't been out since V got killed. I still haven't told him who exactly did it. I just said we were slipping.
I sat on the end of my bed and Tyler sat up by the bed board. I counted a total of 598,000 dollars by hand. Tyler had about 200,000. But I still needed to go pick up my shipments. They were sent to east Harlem, in one of my dads old buildings.
"Yo Ace." Tyler said, I looked at her
"You and me like best friends now, you know some shit about me that only god and I know" she added.
"Okay, what you talking about yo" I said keeping my eyes locked on the road.
" I mean I don't even know your birthday, shit I don't even know you real name" She said
I was silent until we got to the warehouse.
"AYO" I yelled for Kevin.
"Wassup Ace, Hey Tyler" My cousin Kevin said while bringing out 3 duffel bags.
"Hey" Tyler said quietly making me look at her then to him.. I know when Tyler feeling somebody, and she was.
"Hey, put them in my car please" I said to Kevin while walking over to Tyler standing alone
I walked next to her, she was silent, so was I.
"Alejandra" I said breaking the silence, she looked at me confused.
"April 2nd" I added. She smiled and hugged me as she caught on.
This girl was truly my best friend. I loved her. I never had a friend like her before. Other and V.
"But don't call me that" I chuckled walking back to the car as she followed.

NEXT DAY
I got dressed in my red and black ACE suit, and headed outside the club. The line was wrapped, everyone was outside clapping and yelling. My mom was in front of the door with a big pair of scissors for me to cut my ribbon in front of the door.
My brothers were standing in the crowd, they didn't like to be seen with me because it made me more of a target. And my mom had a mic in her hand.
"You know, I never liked your occupation and we've been through hell and back. Lately you've been through things that some people can't survive. And that's what makes you my strong baby.No matter what you never stopped you continued to achieve your goal.I'm not going in there but I am here to say I am proud being your mother." My mama said letting her accent roll.
"Even though your my competition now, I love you and i'm proud of you" Kaisan laughed
"Awwww thank you guys" I said hugging them both
"I got something to say too" I said
"I started out with 1 girl who's not here right now, Valeria who is no longer with us...When I first planned this out, I had a group who helped, but when shit hit the fan they ALL turned except this one right here" I said turning to Tyler
"She been down ever since I met her, she never left my side so when you guys say your proud of me don't forget to add her. So TYLER just know i'm proud of US! And I love you!" I said hugging her
"Stayed down and never folded" I added
"Now..... Welcome to--" I said before hearing a familiar voice say wait
"Hold up" Said Deuces jogging behind me as I turned around
"You forgot something.. Whats a queen without her crown" He said handing me a box
"Oh my--" I said as I opened the box with a with a pretty diamond crown
"Awwww" Said the crowd as they saw me open the box.
I looked up at him and said Thank you and gave him the biggest hug.
And he gave me the wettest kiss before I pulled away
