I turned around to see Manny had grabbed my arm so tightly. He seemed to be very enraged, and I realized I had forgotten to drop off some pills for him. I was in a lot of trouble right now. Jayda and Rubi thought it was funny, but they have no idea how angry he is with me.

"Daddy said it was time to go home," Rubi said exchanging chuckles with Jayda.

Rubi's shoulder was pushed by Jayda. She couldn't stop laughing. "How did he even know where you were in the first place? He seems crazy over you, so you must have some good vagina down there."

I sighed angrily because Jayda and Rubi have the same mindset. They are always bringing up sexual things.

Manny drew me away from the bar. "Come on, let's go."

I tossed the keys to the car to Rubi. "Please don't wreck this car, Rubi. Drive safely. Jayda watch out for her because she be drinking too much. I will talk to you guys later."

They wave goodbye, and Manny and I exit the building. He pushed me to the passenger door and proceeded to the driver's side. We both got in, and the car was deafeningly quiet. Then he pointed his gun at my head, and my heart stopped.

"You didn't realize I had a tracking device on

the phone? Why the fuck were my pills not delivered?"

I had forgotten he had a tracking device on the phone. I was so focused on having a good time with Rubi that I completely forgot about it.

He cocked the gun. "I'm going to ask you again. Why the fuck weren't my pills delivered?"

"I decided to go out with my sister and have a nice time. She begged me to go, and I couldn't refuse because she's just in LA for a few days. I just wanted to spend time with her."

He focuses his entire attention on me. "You're a fucking drug dealer. When people say they want their drugs now, they don't mean tomorrow or the day after that."

"Okay, my apologies. It will never happen again. I guarantee it."

Manny gave me a not-so-pleasant smile. It was more frightening. "You're right, darling, it won't happen again because if it does, I'll kill you."

Since I was gulping so quickly, my throat began to hurt. He shifted the truck into drive and began driving down the road.

Manny kept his gaze fixed on the road. "Because you failed to deliver the pills to the other guys. You must deliver some pills to Tre again. He should text you and tell you when he'll be home. I'll take you home first and change your clothes because you're not going to his crib dressed like that."

He's right, because if I pulled up to Tre's house in this outfit, his homeboys would probably eat me alive. We arrived at the house a few minutes later. He parked his truck and then opened his trunk. He snatched a box from the trunk and shoved it in front of me.

He gave me a serious expression. "Make sure these pills are delivered to Tre, and that he pays you the correct amount."

I gave him a polite nod. He got into his truck and drove away as soon as he could, blowing smoke in my direction. I dashed inside and changed into something more comfortable. I changed into a black fashion nova hoodie and sweatpants, as well as black Prada boots. Tre sent me a text a few seconds later.

I'm back at the crib. You can pull up na

I quickly slid my phone into my pocket and jumped into the truck. I drove in silence down the road. I wasn't in the mood to listen to music. I arrived at Tre's house about 25 minutes later. I walked slowly up to the porch, holding the box of pills in my hands.

I knocked on the door twice, but he eventually replied just as I was about to knock the third time. I couldn't take my gaze away from this guy. His chocolate-colored skin appears to be silky and smooth. His grills only add to his seductiveness.

He flashed that lovely smile and then stepped to the side to let me in. He was home alone this time, and I was glad his homeboys were sending me odd vibes.

He motioned to the couch. "You're welcome to sit right there, lil mama. I'ma be right back. Lemme go get the money."

He went into the back, and I sat down and looked around his house. To say he's a man, he has a great sense of style when it comes to decorating. He appeared from the back about 3 minutes later, clutching a wad of cash.

He sat down beside me and began counting the money. I'd just started staring at his chocolate-colored muscular arms. He was dressed in a black tank top and grey sweatpants.

He began to smile as he looked at me. I quickly averted my gaze because he had noticed me staring at him. At this point, I was extremely embarrassed. He finished counting the money a few minutes later. He gave the cash to me.

He locked his gaze on me for a long moment. "I had no idea Manny would send a woman to deliver drugs. This isn't a job for a lady. You had to do something terrible for him to force you to do this job."

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Basically, I just moved into my father's mansion, and I believe my father has some money hidden somewhere in there, and Manny believes it is his family money. He believes I know where it is, but I don't."

He rubbed the hair on his chin. "You should take a deeper look at the house. Check to see if your father has a hidden door or something. If you don't mind, I'll come over and assist you in your search."

I'm not even familiar with this guy. Should I put my faith in him? He appears to be pretty cool, and he appears to be someone I can really trust.

I shook my head. "I suppose so. I'll let you know when Manny isn't there so you can come over. I just can't wait to find it because he's forcing me to kill people, and I'm not used to it."

When I told him Manny had gotten me to kill people, he was dumbfounded. "Wow, that's crazy. I would never put you in such a position. You're far too beautiful for that."

I started blushing, but I tried to hide it because it was so humiliating. My hands were pulled away from my face by him.

He re-applied a lovely smile to his face. "Don't attempt to hide it. When you blush, you look adorable."

I've only known this man for two days, but I already consider him more than a friend. We both began to laugh, but it soon became pleasant and quiet.

To break the silence, I quickly devised a subject to discuss. "It's a good thing your homeboys aren't here. They're behaving as if they're donkeys."

He burst out laughing. "Yeah, I'm not sure what to say about those niggas. They go insane when they see a beautiful woman. They're just stupid, don't mind them."

I burst out laughing from the bottom of my stomach. "I will do my best to avoid them the next time I visit."

He, too, was laughing, but his laughter had come to a halt. "Well, you should get going. I don't want Manny to blow up your phone to find out where you are."

I jumped up from the couch as quickly as I could. "You're right, he'll definitely call to see if I made it back or not."

He stood up and walked me to the door. We started looking at each other, but I lowered my head because I couldn't look him in the eyes. That makes me extremely nervous.

"Well, if I need more pills, I'll text you."

I gave a slight smile. "All right. I'd be delighted to give them over to you."

He gave a small chuckle. When he opened the door, his smile vanished. Looking ahead of us, I saw a girl standing in the doorway. She gave me a stank look, and I returned the gesture. She stared at Tre while pointing at me.

"So, Trevante, this is what we're doing now? Like, tell me who this bitch is."

I stared at her as if she had gone crazy. "Who the fuck are you referring to as a bitch? Bitch!"

Tre grabbed my waist and pulled me back because he knows I'm about to smack this girl in the face.

She seemed to be taken aback. "Are you going to let this hoe disrespect me, Trevante?"

He had a disgusted expression on his face as he stared at her. "First and foremost, don't call her a no bitch. I told you not to sneak up to my crib without my permission."

Her arms were crossed and she rolled her neck. "Are you serious about standing up for her? So you're fucking her? Did we start seeing other people?"

He rubbed his irritated face with his hand. "We aren't together, Mariah. We're not a couple just because we fucked. This is why I don't fuck with you like that because you're always in your feelings."

She took a look at my hand and saw the money. "I know you're not going to give this hoe my money, Trevante."

He appeared baffled as he looked at her. "Bitch your money? This is my fucking money. When did you start supplying me with drugs? Man take your ass home before I let her beat your ass."

She clenched her teeth. "She will not, under any circumstances, touch me. I'll lay that hoe out."

I burst out laughing and began to take off my jewelry. "Yeah, you really fucked up."

Tre's hands were removed from my waist, and I quickly raised my guard. I punched her in the mouth as soon as she tried to remove her jewelry as well. She looked at her mouth and touched it. Her hand was stained with blood, which she noticed.

She dashed over to me. "You didn't even give me a chance to get ready, Bitch."

I quickly weaved around her and punched her again. "In fighting hoe, there are no rules. You were talking all that bullshit, so let's go."

She came up to me again and began yanking on my hair. She tried to upcut me, but her punches didn't land. Tre eventually pulled us apart before I could really get the best of her.

Tre drew me into the house. "All right, Angel, that's enough. You kicked her ass."

She was taking in a lot of air. I must have exhausted her. "Are you really doing me like this Tre?"

He began to laugh. "Doing you like what? I didn't do anything to you. You're the one that put the shit on yourself."

She began to cry a little bit. "I'm expecting your child, Trevante."

He stopped for a long time. "Wait, what did you just say?"

She was choking back tears. "I'm expecting a child."

He began to laugh and swept her aside. "Mariah, I see what you're doing. You try to pull one of those tricks. I know what you've got up your sleeve. You're not slick."

She had a shocked expression on her face. "It's the truth. I am carrying your child."

He approached her with his fist clenched. "If you're expecting a child, I'm certain it's not mine. You've fucked the whole block. Everyone had you, so shove that little fake pregnancy joke up your ass and get the fuck off my yard."

She stood there for a minute before sprinting to her car and speeding away. I don't feel sorry for her because he explicitly stated that they aren't a couple and admitted that they had sex with no strings attached, to which she became attached.

Tre rubbed his finger across my face as he looked at me. "She scratched your face, but you were the one who did the most damage."

I was even angrier because I don't like it when people fuck with my face. "I'm going to kill that hoe. I'm hoping it doesn't leave a mark."

He let out a small laugh. "Even if it did, you're still sexy as fuck."

I gave him a friendly smile. He must enjoy making me blush, I swear.

I began to tamper with my nails. "I guess it's time for me to get going now, huh?"

He grinned. "Yeah, lil mama, I'll speak to you later. Drive safe."

I waved goodbye to him and dashed into the truck. I sped down the road quickly because I knew Manny would be upset because he likes to have his money right away, and I had left Tre's house a little late.

I honestly can't get Tre out of my head. He's wonderful, and I appreciate how he stood up for me. I also liked how he clung to my waist. Is it possible that I'm falling in love with him?
