April 27, Friday

"Ms. Stone, good morning."True, my client, said as I met up with him outside of this house that I'd be showing him.

"Good morning Mr. Johnson."I said while walking up to him and holding my hand out.

"One of these would make my day better, may I?"he asked me while hugging me.

"Yes after you've already pulled me into your arms."I chuckled while hugging him back.

"How are you?"

"I'm doing good, how are you?"

"I'm aight, ready to see what you got for me here."he said while pointing at the house.

"This here is your future home, should we go check it out?"I asked him.

"I think we should."he said and I nodded before heading into the house with him behind me thrice again.

"Wow."he said while walking into the living room with me once we exited the foyer.

"I know right. This house is six thousand two hundred and nineteen square feet. It has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and two half bathrooms. The flooring is hardwood, ceilings are ten feet above where we're standing, and there are there are ten feet ceilings upstairs also. This beautiful house features a movie theatre, his and her closets, a secondary office space, gym area, playroom, and a private pool. It was built this year, has new construction of course, and has been out on the market for a week. Owner's looking at four point six million dollars. I know you said four point five million but I think you can match that? Right?"

"I'll see once we finish the tour."he said and I nodded.

"Let's start off with the family room then."

"Talk to me."he said and I gave him the run down on everything while helping him tour the house for about thirty extra minutes.

"So what do you say? Do you like the house?"I asked him as we sat on the couch.

"Yeah it's cool."

"So you don't really like it?"

"Nah I believe you got a deal, only under one circumstance though."

"Oh no, deal or no deal."

"Slide with me to Meek's party on the seventh."

"That's the circumstance?"

"I mean ima buy the house either way it goes, I just need a friend to party with."

"Okay!! Well since we have a deal I'm gonna call up the owner and get this all finalized. We'll talk about the party later."

"Aight cool, I highly appreciate everything, thank you for your patience."

"That's my job."I smiled before walking away and calling the home owner.

"You ready!?"Zay asked me as I got into his car.

"Yes pull off."

"I ain't pulling off until I get a kiss."

I grabbed his face and kissed his lips quickly.

"Okay now pull off."I said while letting him go.

"Put ya seatbelt on first."

I put my seatbelt on before he pulled off.

Yes Zay and I are back cool or whatever.

After he surprised me with some gifts in front of everybody in the cafeteria, a dinner date, and begged me for forgiveness, I forgave him.

He also let me know that he didn't have nothing to do with that girl and that she was just his mad ex.

I most definitely am not about to risk my first relationship on some obsessed ex.

"So where are we going again?"I asked him.

"King's block party."he said referring to his best friend.

"That's fine but I have to be back home before twelve."

"The party just now gone be getting started by twelve."

"I don't care, I have to be back home before twelve. I literally snuck out of the house, it'll only be a matter of time before my mama finds out that I snuck out."

"Aight bruh."he said before turning his music up.

I folded my lips inward while nodding my head and looking down at my phone.

When we pulled up to the party in less than thirty minutes, I fixed myself up before getting out of the car.

"Stay with me."Zay said while walking around the car and grabbing my hand.

We headed into the back of this abandoned house before going inside.

"BOOM!!"some dude yelled while holding up a gun to us as soon as we walked in.

I immediately closed my eyes, turned my head, and held my hands up.

It was quiet for a couple of seconds before I heard laughter.

"Nigga I almost shot y'all. Who is this, shawty was ready to meet her maker?"he said.

"Don't be doing that shit bruh and don't worry about it nigga."Zay said.

"Nigga who's the girl!!?"one of the other guys asked him while putting a gun to Zay's head.

"My girl nigga don't fucking worry about it!"

"Make sure you keep her close nigga."

"Fuck y'all, come on."Zay said to me while leading me through the house with him.

"Is that Javier!?"some Mexican dude with tattoos all over him said.

"You already know.."Zay started dancing while dapping him and everybody else who were sitting on the couch up.

"Wassup Heaven."one of them said to me.

I furrowed my eyebrows before waving at him.

Didn't know this nigga from a can of paint.

"What you doing with my lil brother?"he asked me while standing up.

I just stared at him trynna figure out who he was.

"I'm Dee by the way, I go way back with Scarr and Kenneth."he said and I slowly nodded.

"Hur nigga, take this home with you."Dee said while handing Zay a duffle bag.

"Nigga I'll get it once I leave."he said while shaking his head no and looking at me.

"Aight bruh."Dee chuckled.

We soon headed outside and that's where the party was.

Everybody was outside, there was loud music playing, and the smell of barbecue filled my nose.

"What you so quiet for, open up?"Zay asked me.

"Funny how you think I know these people and this area."

"Everybody cool, especially when you with me. This our hood, Deeblock."

"Oh okay."

Since he reassured me, I got comfortable and decided to try to enjoy myself.

As I was laying in the bed watching tv and smoking a fat ass blunt, I heard something in the backyard.

I turned the tv off completely before I sat still and stopped breathing.

It was quiet for a couple of seconds so I just brushed it off, maybe it's a fucking possum.

I turned the tv back on before I continued smoking.

After about five minutes, I heard something fall in the room next to me.

I immediately turned the tv back off, let out my blunt, and went into the closet to grab my shotgun.

Since Kai and Sevyn were here, and if it was someone trynna come in this bitch, then it would be more effective to use a shotgun instead of something with bullets that shoots through the walls.

I grabbed my phone and called Malakai.

"Yeah dad?"he answered.

"Where you at, is that you fucking with me?"I asked him.

"Nah I'm in my room with Sevyn, we're streaming."

"Aight stay upstairs, don't come down at all."

"Why not? Wha—"I hung up before throwing my phone on the bed.

I placed my hand on the hand stock and my other griping the gun.

I awaited for the person to make themselves known since I was still hearing shit.

I knew I wasn't tripping, it was something in this bitch other than us.

Once their foot swung out, I took the gun off of safety.

As soon as I saw the mf who was draped in all black getting ready to hold up their glock, I let off three shots in his ass.

"Woooah!!"I heard and I looked up seeing Kai and Sevyn standing at the very end of the hall.

"Aye come here, hurry up!!!"I semi yelled at them.

They ran down the hall and into my room.

"Go get in the closet and don't fucking come out!!!"I yelled while closing the door.

I went to grab my phone and called the police.

"Dad ima call mama!!"I heard.

"Don't fucking call anybody!!"

"Calling her.."I heard and I shook my head before engaging in the conversation with the operator.
