' Nori POV '

"Nori, baby, come on," Karen said. "Do this for ya mama. Don't you want to help me out?" She added. I looked at her in disgust.

"Man, is she gone do this s**t or what? I ain't got time for this, bitch." The man she wanted me to have s*x with said.

"Yea, she gone do it. Lemme talk to her for a second." Karen said and looked at me. I had already texted Sheed to come to get me, and he was gone be here in 5 mins. Three minutes have already gone by.

"Baby, come on. I just need you to lay down and let him stick his d**k in you for a couple of seconds." Karen said as my phone vibrated.

~ Text Message ~

From: Sheed

Come on. I'm on the porch!

To: Sheed

Okay.

I stood up from my old mattress and stuck my phone in my coat pocket. Then I looked at Karen.

"b***h, you must be out your motherfuckin mind if you think ima lay down with this nigga, so you can get some damn drugs. You must be out of your damn mind." I said to Karen. I looked at the man who looked shocked and said, "I would whoop her ass for wasting your time if I were you." Then I walked out of the room.

"You fat b***h!!!" I heard Karen yell after me. "I hate I even had yo stupid ass. Good for nothing ass bitch." She yelled. As soon as she said that, I heard a hard slap.

I opened the front door and seen Sheed standing there with a baseball bat and a hammer. I walked on out the door.

"b***h, are you okay? You need me to go in there cracking some s**t?" Sheed asked hugging me. I shook my head.

"I'm fine. Let's just go." I said as we walked away from the door and walked to Ms.Tisha 08' Toyota Corolla. I got into the passenger seat as he got in the drivers'.

"Hold my weapons, baby," Sheed said handing me the bat and hammer making me chuckle. Only Sheed can make me smile during my worst times.

He put the car in reverse and sped out of the projects that I used to call home.

When we pulled up to The West, Sheed drove to the end to his house. He parked and we got out the car. We walked into his house, and we walked straight to the back where his room was.

"Here, sis." He said handing me one of his big, long ass t-shirts. I stripped out of my shirt and pants right in front of him. It's nothing new. He's the only person that I feel comfortable with to just strip right in front of. I slid the shirt on and jumped in his cozy bed. I can't wait to be able to have one of my own.

I closed my eyes and tried to forget about tonight. I felt the bed moved, which meant Sheed was getting in. After a couple of minutes, I heard Sheed loud ass snores. I relaxed and went into a deep ass sleep.

' Black POV '

"Boss, I only got $350." One of my workers said to me. I stared back at him.

"f**k that gotta do with me?" I asked as he gulped. He looked scared as f**k. One thing I learned over the years was to never show fear.

"I gave you that s**t to sell. When I give you s**t to sell, you sell all of it." I said looking at this young cat. I could tell this life wasn't for him. "Tell me son, why you in the gang?" I asked.

"Because I need the money." He said. I nodded.

"Well young blood, if you need money, what you do?" I asked him.

"Work for it." He mumbled looking down.

"Raise yo fuckin head up and look at me," I said and he snapped his head up quickly.

"Look, ima letcha slide this one time. Getcha ass out there and sell my shit." I said. He nodded and just stayed seated.

"Getcho ass out. We done talkin." I barked at him making him jump up and run out of my office. Smh. It's a shame how much fear he got in him.

My phone started vibrating, and I looked to see who it was. It was my Big Mama.

"Wassup, Ma?" I asked as I counted the rest of the money.

"Hey baby boy, you know the big cookout next weekend." She said. "You coming or you too gangsta to come to yo big mama's cookout?"

"Ion know, ma. I gotta see what s**t I gotta do on that day. I'll letcha know though." I said to her just because ion deal with my folks like that. "You & mama need anything?" I asked her.

"No, baby. I'm fine! You already do so much for us." She said. My big mama & my mama are my heart and soul man. They are the only people that I know that are 100% down for me. They have been down for me ever since I was a youngin. They did everything in their power to make sure I kept clothes on my back, so it's only right that I do the same for them.

"Aight, ma. Well, I gotta go. Call me if y'all need some." I said.

"Okay, baby. Be careful! And tell yo no head on shoulders cousin to call me. I know his ass ain't slanging that damn much that he can't call his Big Mama." She said talking about Mutt. See, Big mama ain't never judged us for the s**t we do. She understands our hustle. The only thing she ever told us was to 'Never let y'all guards down for anybody. Always stay on y'all P's and Q's.'

"Aight, ma," I said and hung the phone up. I made sure my money was right. Then I walked out of my office and walked to the kitchen. I looked at the naked hoes who were cooking the s**t up and packaging the s**t.

"Hey, Black!" One of the hoes said too damn happy. I just stared at her not saying nothing back to her. These bitches know not to try to talk to me. I ain't got these hoes in here to communicate with a nigga. I need them to work and work ONLY!

"Shelly, be quiet! Sorry, boss. She's new!" Pie, one of my good workers, said. She's the only one that is allowed to wear clothing in here. I nodded and watched them a lil more until I heard a commotion coming from up the hall. I walked out of the kitchen and to the hall.

"f**k all this noise for!?" I barked making all these niggas jump. I notice Nori lil gay ass friend was standing here.

"Cause this nigga tried to rape my b***h. And ion preciate it." Nori's friend said referring to the man Mutt was carrying over his shoulder. Rape who? Better not be Nori lil ass.

"Who he tried to rape?" I asked.

"Nori, man! Goddamn, Nori!" The gay nigga said raising his voice slightly. f**k he thought he was talking to?

"Sheed, shutcho ass up for both of yall niggas be dead," Mutt told the boy. Then Sheed's eyes went wide as he looked at me.

"Oh s**t! My bad! I was caught up in the moment." He said and I nodded knowing that if I even laid a finger on his gay ass, Nori will chew my ass up. I don't even know why I give a f**k so much about how she feels.

"Aye mane, gone & go back to yo crib. Go and make sure Lil Bit good. I'll be over after I handle this." I said to Sheed.

"Oh, Thank God. My sexy ass ain't made for this life. But aight. See ya later." He said looking like he was relieved. Then he walked out of the trap.

"Take his ass to the dungeon!" I barked. Mutt carried him to the dungeon as I followed,

and the rest of them walked behind me.

"Sit em down right there," I said lighting me up a blunt. All my workers were standing around the dungeon as DP stood by my side.

"f**k going on down here?" Shawty loud ass said as he came down the steps eating a cheeseburger.

"Nigga, if yo fatass would've been here instead of going to get some to eat, you would know what the f**k was going on," DP said to him. Shawty placed his hand on his chest and looked like he was shocked or some s**t.

"I am appalled, DP." His stupid ass said then took a big ass bite out of his cheeseburger. I could tell DP was finna say some, so I had to interrupt.

"Aye, ion wanna hear y'all gotdamn mouths today," I said making DP mouth close. I grabbed the razor that I keep in my mouth and walked to where this nigga was sitting at. He looked like he was about to pass out.

"Youngblood, pass me that!" I said talking to one of my workers referring to the metal bat that was right beside him. I smoked a couple more puffs from the blunt then handed it to DP. When I finally got the bat, I c****d the bat back far as I could then swung it at this nigga jaw making his eyes widen. When the bat came in contact with his jaw, I heard his jaw crack.

"B-Black, w-what's goin-ng o-on?" The man asked leaking blood from his mouth.

"So, I heard you tried to rape a good friend of mine," I stated. The man eyes widen.

"I didn't know she affiliated with you, and her mother was the one that was trying to make me rape her. I swear, man." He said crying holding his jaw. I just stared at this nigga. Did he really think that I wasn't gone crack his skull open just because he said that dumb s**t?

"Oh, word? Well s**t, I'll letcha go man." I said sarcastically then acted like I was finna walk off.

"But I still can't shake that image of you tryna f**k my la'goon," I said turning around and hitting his ass hard as I could in his head with the bat. I looked at him to see him lifeless with a big ass gash in the middle of his head. The blood had splashed on me. It was all on my T-shirt and jeans.

"Clean this s**t up," I said dropping the bat from my hand then walking up the steps to get out of the dungeon. I looked back to see Shawty, DP, and Mutt coming out behind me.

I walked down the hallway to my office. I went in and closed the door. I took off my shirt & jeans then put it in my duffle bag. Then I put on a clean shirt and jeans. I grabbed the duffle bag and walked out of the office and down the hallway to the door.

"DP, lock up tonight if ion be back!" I said as I dapped him up.

"Aight, Black!" He said. I nodded and walked out of the trap. I walked to my truck and got in. I put the duffle bag in the backseat then drove away from the trap.

I grabbed my phone and called Nori. I waited until she answered.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Get dressed, I'm omw," I said.

"Black, I don-" I cut her off.

"Be there in 5," I said and hung up on her not even giving her a chance to say nothing else.

I drove down the street and turned down a back street to get to the projects quicker. I pulled up to the projects and drove down to the end where Sheed's house was at.

I parked and got out my truck. I walked to the door and knocked on the screen door hard as I could.

A lady came to the door. She looked like she was around my age or a lil bit older.

"Well damn. Christmas must have come early this year, and I must have been good as hell this year." She said looking at me like I was a piece of meat. Man, I ain't got time for this.

"Mama, leave that man alone. He doesn't want you!" Sheed ghetto ass yelled coming to the door.

"How the f**k you know that, Sheed?" She asked him. "Don't do yo mama, boy! I'm 40 & still popping, nigga." She said. Sheed had a stank ass face.

"Guh boo, Black, come on. She is in my room being stubborn as hell." Sheed said opening the door for me to come in. I walked in and passed his mama. I could tell where he got his personality from.

"Black? Boy, I know that ain't you. You'on remember me from back in the day?" Sheed's mama asked. I looked at her, and she did look familiar.

"I used to go with your cousin, Mane, back in the day." She said again. That's where I knew her ass from. My cousin, Mane, was like a big brother to me. He was just 6 years older than me. He died a couple years back doing a drop.

"Oh s**t, what's been up with you? Ain't seen you in a minute, Tisha. " I said. She smiled.

"Nun much. Raising these big head boys of mine." She said.

"Ain't even know Sheed was yo seed, Tish," I said. She chuckled.

"Ain't heard that nickname in a while. But yes, he's one of my two." She said. Back in the day, that's what we used to call her especially Mane & I.

"Mama, let that man on back here. So, Nori can go." Sheed said. "Nori, you know I ain't got a problem with you here. I'm just trying to get mama to stop talking." I heard Sheed say.

"Boy, shut the f**k up!" She yelled back. Then she looked at me with an eyebrow up. "Whatcha want with my baby?" She asked. I frowned because she was questioning me & because I ain't want s**t with Sheed's ass.

"Ion want a damn thang with Sheed, Tish," I said. She chuckled.

"I am talking about Nori." She said. Oh.

"Look, Tish, that ain't got s**t to do with you. You mind me going back there to get her? This your house so ima respect it." I said. She looked taken back.

"Yea, gone on back there." She said then sat down on her couch. I nodded and walked to the back. I passed by one bedroom and kept walking to the other since I heard Sheed's loud ass voice.

"b***h, goddamn! Yo ass fat af! Black gone love all that booty when it smothers his face." I heard Sheed say. It kind of pissed me off that he was looking at her ass, but I shook it off. I gotta agree with him though. I'd f*****g love to have her ass sit on my face.

I walked on into the room to see Nori with a big ass shirt on, but it still showed how fat her ass was.

"Didn't I tell yo ass to get dress Lil Bit?" I asked her. She looked at me with a frown. Then she looked back at Sheed.

"Thanks, Sheed. I love you so much." She said to him. He smiled and hugged her.

"I love you more." He said then he looked at me and mouthed 'Keep her safe!' I nodded.

"Well, I'll see you later. Get my work for me this week." She told him, and he looked at her like he was confused.

"You know when I got to fighting last week? They suspended me and them hoes for 10 days." She said. Then he nodded.

"Well, b***h if yeen going, I ain't going." He said. Nori smiled.

"Boy, yo ass gone be in court again. But see you later, sis." She said. Sis? He a whole f*****g nigga that wants to be a b***h.

"Come on, Black." She said walking out the door leaving my ass shocked cause she thinks she running s**t. I heard Sheed chuckle as I followed her lil ass out.

"Thanks for letting me stay last night, Ms.Tisha!" Nori said hugging her. She stayed here last night? Why she ain't call me if she needed somewhere to stay?

"You're welcome, baby girl!" Tish said. Then we walked out of the house. I unlocked my truck and opened the door for her to get in. When she got in, I closed the door and went to my side. I got in and started the truck.

I looked at her to see her looking out the window. I could tell some s**t was bothering her.

"Aye li'baby, I wantchu to know that I gotcha as long as I got a breath in my body!" I said to her being straight up. She looked at me and did a small smile.

"Thanks, Black!" She said and I nodded. I backed out of the parking spot and drove away from the projects.

"But next time I tell yo ass to get dress, yo ass better get dress," I said glancing at her then back at the road trying to lighten the mood up. She chuckled and looked at me.

"Boy, bye! You ain't nobody! That's why I came in my sleeping shirt. I ain't trying to impress no damn body." She said. I smirked cause her ass thinks she is running s**t.
