Page 89 of Quasim II: King Inferno

Capri tried to cross her legs a few times before she got it right. “I don’t know why you walking around delusional like you don’t have feelings for that man. I get being in a relationship, but you should already know those Gods get what they want, and Goon has been telling you for a while that he wants you.”

“Do they get what they want?” Syn’s hot in the pants ass fanned herself with the fan, and Kobe snickered.

“Hams for sure always gets what he wants.”

“Who the hell is Hams?” Capri asked.

“Havoc.” I informed her.

“Ohhh.”

“I would say that I’m scared for you, but with those nipples pierced, and the way you waving that menu… you know exactly what you’re getting yourself into.”

Synthia laughed. “He has a situation, so we’re only friends… a friend could admire a friend, right?”

“You don’t even need to worry about her…. Hams has been bored with her for years. She’s familiar… that’s all.” Kobe waved off what Synthia said.

“Familiar is also dangerous… means he’ll go back because she is familiar and not someone new like Synthia. I kept going to familiar because it was safe, knowing it was wrong.” Capri spoke.

“From the way you walked over here, and Meer in the kitchen, you eventually woke up. Hams is very aware, and he knows shorty isn’t end game for him.”

“Hmm.”

“Don’t even do that… we spent half the night talking about this.” Kobe pulled Syn’s hair as she laughed. “I have a personal investment in this happening… I like her.”

“So, you about to force Havoc with her because you like her.” Zoya laughed. “You know what… I ain’t even mad at it.”

Kobe leaned up. “His last relationship was toxic, and he knows it, but he can’t stop messing with her ass. Girl used to sneak out their house to hang with her hoe friends like she didn’t have free will. One time, she hid that man’s implants, so he didn’t know she left the house. I can promise you that if I didn’t track his phone and see where he was at, he would have been in prison.”

All of us were at the edge of our seats, waiting for him to continue. “What did he do?” Syn said.

“That nigga was about to drive his truck through her cousin’s lounge. Revving the engine and everything when me and Sin pulled up. Yasin had to physically stand in front because that nigga was still going to do it.”

While any other woman would have backed down and said he was too crazy for her, Syn was still on the edge of her seat. “He should have. Why would she take his ears for? Anything could have happened, and she hid them… now I have beef with her.”

“Oh yeah… Syn, I don’t care about you using that friend card.” I laughed.

“Inferno girls don’t know how to call the Delgato girls?” Aimee squeezed next to Kobe, as Erin and Alaia sat in the last two empty seats.”

“I called you bitches… and you told me that you were busy.”

“Girl, I was. Promise was throwing up all night. She gets motion sickafterthe motion. Mommy had her and the twins, so when we came in, I took her.”

Erin cleared her throat. “I damn sure didn’t get a call.”

“Y’all are in the same damn house.” Capri laughed while Erin grabbed fish cakes. “How is Capone?”

“You know how he is… never wanna take the time. I appreciate both Cappadonna and Quasim for listening to me. I love my husband, but he so fucking hardheaded.”

I could see that she was stressed, and I felt for her. Having a husband with sickle cell, and then four kids, was a lot for anybody. Especially when your husband was hardheaded as hell.

“There go my baby,” Alaia smiled when Cappadonna and Goon both ran by on their run. He winked at her as he continued running, and Goon made a detour over to where we were sitting.

He sat on the edge of the chair that Zoya was sitting on. “Eww, Gerald, you all sweaty.”

“I promise I won’t say eww when I got you all sweaty.” He winked, as her phone lit up and I could tell it was her boyfriend. “Go ahead and answer the phone for Thun-Thun. Won’t be too much of you answering to that nigga, Baby cakes.”

She held her phone as he stood up and took off running behind Cappadonna. “Answer that phone, baby cakes,” Kobe sipped his drink while we all fell out laughing.
