“I got this shit.”
“Alright, bet.”
“But stay safe out there nigga. Even around muthafuckas you may think you can trust.”
He replied, and I was about to take that shit to heart from here on out.
Chapter 15
Ciara
“Ci, our driver is a minute away, are you sure you are going to wait here for him out here by yourself?”
“Yeah, I mean he told me he was on the way.”
I looked to the east side of the block and then to the west, but he was still nowhere to be found. My balance wasn’t the best with the gallons of mimosa I’d drank and peed out. That was causing a sway in my stance and making these heels feel ten times worse than when I first put them on.
“I’ll just stay here and if he doesn’t’ show up, I’m blocking his ass this time.”
“Okay then girl.”
Her phone started chiming.
“But this is our black truck right here. I hate to leave you.”
“I’m okay. I promise. I’ll call you when I get home.”
“Okay bestfriend. I love you. Happy birthday again. I hope you get some tonight.”
“I doubt that but I love you more.”
She gave me a hug before her Emoney, Elijah, and the cousins all filed into the car. Elijah got in last taking another lookback at me. I can be honest and say that his presence wasn’t as annoying today as it’s been in the past. I am however tipsy as hell so maybe that is why I could deal with him. Drunk Ciara is a lot more patient than the sober one which is the only reason I’m standing here waiting on Hov.
When Pernelle’s truck pulled off, I tapped my foot on the curve, ignoring the advances of the men walking by. I was letting what they were saying go in one ear and out the other but when I felt arms wrap around my waist from the back, I turned around to slap the fuck out of whoever was touching me.
“Don’t fuckin touch-!”
I bald my fist up, quickly losing hostility when I was looking into Hov’s chest.
“What are you doing? You scared me.”
“My bad Killa.”
He did a big hearty laugh.
“I wasn’t trying to scare you. I just wanted all these niggas out here to know that your ass is mine. I been watching them try and speak to you from up the street.”
“You keep saying I’m yours. Delusional as hell.”
I playfully rolled my eyes.
“Come on, let’s go hop in my delusional ass car birthday girl. It's on MacDonough St and Lewis Ave.”
He and I took off walking down the street and I caught quick glances of him the entire way to the car. Even with these high ass heels on he still towered over me and that shit just turned me on for some reason. Though, I shouldn’t let him turn me on after all the points he’s lost in the past few days. Thoughhe loses them, he still finds a way to get some back by just being so good looking and smooth as hell.
When we approached some people coming up the opposite way on the sidewalk, he grabbed my hand and pulled me in closer to his body.
“Get right here because if one of these niggas bump you. I’m going to slap one of they ass.”
