Page 14 of The Hellcat Barbies: Storm
“Teelo, I thought we worked it out,” my uncle asked sounding defeated.
“I made you believe we did because I knew you would do exactly this. I knew you were going to go to her letting her know it was safe to come back home. How you figured I would let it ride after she killed my brother is beyond me. Storm-…” Dodge cut Teelo off.
“You don’t address her. Whatever issues you got, take them up with me.” Teelo threw his hands up as if he was surrendering.
“Look, I have no problems with you. This is between us Chicagoans. I know I’m in your city, but man to man, I really hope you stay out of this.” Dodge’s jawline started jumping and his body tensed. Knowing this wasn’t about to go well, I tried to intervene.
“Teelo, I didn’t kill your brother. He crashed while we were racing.”
“What’s your name, homie?”
“Dodge,” I answered because I knew he wouldn’t.
“Dodge, can you kindly tell Storm, I know he crashed and that I know she’s the reason for said crash. It was a lot of witnesses that let me know what happened.” I got pissed hearing that.
“They lied.” Dodge jerked on me before giving me a look. He didn’t want me addressing Teelo.
“Dodge, can you let her know that I find it funny a bunch of witness all said the same thing, but she wants me to believe they are the ones lying.”
“Nigga, stop playing in my face.”
“What? You asked me not to address her, so I’m addressing you. It seems you want us to have a problem, but I’m trying to respect you in your town.”
“If you wanted to respect me, you wouldn’t have showed up here. I don’t care what the fuck yall had going on in Chicago, you’re a long way from Kansas. Whatever you think is going to happen, it’s not. So, why don’t you get back in your lil red Corvette and gone back home to your city where it’s safe.” Him and Teelo were having a stare down, so I knew I needed to stop this.
“I can prove it. There is a dash cam on my car.” Dodge released me, but he never looked my way.
“Pull up the footage and hand it here,” Dodge said as he continued to stare at Teelo. My hands were shaking, but I scrolled back to the day that changed my life forever. Handing Dodge the phone, I damn near pissed in my pants when he looked at me.
“Stop shaking. If I ever see you fearing another nigga and I’m there, we gone have a problem.” He walked over to Teelo and showed him the footage. I could see realization sink in, but this still could go any way. I stood as still as I could praying I didn’t look scared.
“I need to run this around in my head for a night. I’ll be back tomorrow, and we can finish this out.”
“Nigga, did you not hear me say you don’t run shit here? We have a race tomorrow. You’re welcome to watch, but after that, I’mma need you to gone back home.”
“Like I said, I’ll see you tomorrow.” Teelo walked off and I knew we weren’t going to dinner. Dodge was so pissed you couldfeel the heat radiating off him. I had no idea how this was going to play out, but I had a feeling it wasn’t going to be good.
10-DARION “DODGE” PETERSON
Storm was trying her best to look like she wasn’t bothered, and the shit was pissing me off. That nigga could have a whole arsenal in his trunk, but it wouldn’t save him here. I wasn’t worried about him or any other fuck nigga that came to my shit puffing his chest out. Just because I was a racer didn’t mean I didn’t have some bodies under my belt. My screws have always been slightly screwed towards the left. Racing just helped me channel my anger and put it somewhere else.
“Can I talk to you for a minute?” Pooh’s ass looked more scared than Storm and I was ready to put both of they ass out the house.
“What’s up?”
“I know you want to protect her, and I commend you for it. However, Donny was a chief, so they not gone just lay down that easy. If he has to call in reinforcement, he will. Maybe it will be best if me and Storm head out and go somewhere else.” I scoffed under my breath as I put my shoes on.
“He gone need it if he thinks shit that sweet. I know you don’t know me, and that’s fine, but my girl stays. Whatever type of time Teelo on, I’m on. You going to the race?” He looked at me with uncertainty in his eyes, but I didn’t care.
“Why would you let her race with her mind all over the place like this? She might not only lose; she could hurt herself.” I was getting annoyed, so I explained it the best way I could.
“If she still raced the way you taught her, I could see that. Storm knows how to clear her head and make it all about the road. Shorty good.” Dismissing him, I walked upstairs to get Storm. She was zipping up her jacket when I walked in. She gave me a fake ass smile causing me to shake my head.
“I’m ready.”
“You sure? Don’t piss me off, Storm.”
“Yes, I’m sure. You know I’mma make you proud, so I can get some celebratory dick.” Laughing, I walked over to her before placing a kiss on her lips. When she began rubbing my dick, I stopped her.
