"Baby I wanna come with you." I pouted wrapping my arms around him.

"Come where?" He asked and I stood on my toes to kiss him.

"To work." I mumbled against his lips. "Alright this Saturday you can work at the bar-"

"No not that business. I want in on the REAL business." He laughed and stepped back to look me up and down.

"Baby I'm serious. I already have experience in the game and I have some connects in Colombia that can get you the shit you be buying for half the price." I explained, my dads best friend and my god father was his supplier so I knew I could get a good deal for Jace.

"I said no." Jace said sternly shutting me down. "Okay. Can I show you something before you make up your mind?"

"Alright, I'm driving."

"Why can't I drive?" I asked as I slipped on my shoes and then made my way over to the door.

"Because you drive like you're trying to kill me." Jace laughed and then looked over at the cars in the drive way.

"Pick one" he said.

I playfully rolled my eyes. Last week Jace decided to get all his cars re wrapped and get their interiors update and since then he's been bragging about it 24/7.

"Look away" I said, we were now at Chanel and I's apartment, in my old room and I was about to unlock my safe in attempt to convince Jace to let me work with him.

"Look now baby"

"I don't know why you-" he stopped talking now seeing the open safe and its contents.

He raised his eyebrows and grabbed one of the stacks. "Wow"

I reached under some of the stacks and picked up a small black velvet bag. "I got these too" I said pouring the diamonds out on to the bedside table.

"Where you get all this from?" Jace asked. I shrugged and reached under my bed for the box that had been under there for a few months. "I saved it. Open the box"

He opened it slowly.

He looked at me and I smiled, we were both sat on the floor so I crawled over to him and sat in his lap. I grabbed his face softly and batted my eyelashes. "Now can I work with you? I know what I'm doing. I made all this and only had to pay my uncle $100 dollars for the product."

"Wait so you got all this money but three months ago you was taking the bus because you had 'no money' to get your car fixed?" He laughed shaking his head at me.

"Well I had to keep up appearances, if I rolled out with a new car straight after wrecking my other one people would ask questions and shit."

"This is all good but I still have to say no. I can't have you working for me."

I shook my head impatiently as I dialled his number for the third time.

"Hey." I said excitedly when he finally answered.

"Nicki. Como estas?" He sounded like he was in a good mood so hopefully he would do what I asked. "I need a favour." I said.

He sighed deeply. "Ah Nicki-" I quickly cut him off before he could say no.

"Por favor?" I said in a soft baby voice.

"Only for you princess. What do you need?"

•

"Yeah mom I promise We'll come see you tomorrow." I walked into my warehouse and frowned when I saw about 10 crates, I opened one of them slowly revealing bags of weed & crack. "What the f-"

I cut myself off when I saw Nicki walk out from behind one of the boxes. "I told you I knew what I was doing now can I join?" Nicki smiled.

"How you get all this and so quick but when you and ya brother owed me money y'all couldn't come up with any money or product?"

She shrugged. "Because I didn't love you then."

"Wait so if you got these Colombian connections and ya uncle sell you shit for cheap, why did Nico want to do business with me?"

She took a deep breath and looked down playing with her fingers. "Nico was not only into selling drugs... He was out here smoking his own product so my uncle said he was unreliable and cut him off."

I nodded and smirked looking back on the crate. "I'm gonna make a whole lot of money from this."

"We're gonna make a whole lot of money." She corrected as she stood on her toes and wrapping her arms around my neck.

"How you get involved in this shit anyway?" I asked and she sucked her teeth. "Jace seriously? Do you know who my father was?"

"Yeah but you was like 16 when he died."

"So?"

"So that means you was hustling since you was a baby." She shrugged. "I guess. I witnessed my first murder at 7-"

I raised my eyebrows at her. "For real?"

"That's shit must have been hard. You was scared?"

"No. You haven't noticed I'm a thug?" I said pulling my hoodie up over one side of my face.

Jace laughed and pulled me into a hug. "Nah but I noticed you're annoying as fuck."

I rolled my eyes and looked up at him. "Kiss me" I pouted my lips and waited for him to kiss me. He kissed me deeply, I wrapped my arms around his neck and held him close so he couldn't pull away.

"On a serious note. Your family okay with us?" He mumbled against my lips. "What do you mean? My aunt loves you-"

"I mean your dads family." I unwrapped my arms from around him.

"I told my god father, Marco about us... He wasn't too happy, he wanted you dead but I told him I loved you. Since I'm his favourite god child he backed off." I explained.

"So that's means I'm safe out in these streets?" He laughed.

"For now or until you decide to fuck me over" I smirked waiting for his reaction. "For real?!"

I shook my head giggling. "No I'm just playing, Jace I love you but I promise if we don't work out I won't hold any grudges and make sure my family knows your cool."

"You out here worried about my dads people you should be worried about Chanel, ever since she's been pregnant she's even more savage than usual. She told me if you ever put your hands on me again she'll personally fuck you up." I said seriously.

"Chanel scares me." I gasped. "She does?!" I cackled.

"Yeah. Always giving me theses side eyes and cold stares."

"That's because I tell her everything that goes on between us including you threatening to kill me so she's kinda angry with you."

"What I gotta do to get back in her good books?"

"She says she wanted a new car... And since I'm not living with her no more it might be good if you paid her rent."
