Not Your Typical Thug (Book 1)

6

"Kacy stop" Karma said pushing him off "That was not ok. Don't ever do that again" she warned, climbing out of the bed and going towards the room door.

She walked out and made her way to a guest bed room for the night, locking herself inside. Kacy chuckled to himself and laid back down.

Putting one arm behind his head and the other in his pants, he closed his eyes. There's no doubt in his mind he feelin Karma, but the hard part is getting her to like him back.

Kacy isn't the type of guy to give up easily. Once he has his eyes set on something, he goes after it. And right now, he wants to be able to call Karma his girl.

He's never done a relationship but he knows what not to do, such as cheat or lie. Cheating won't be hard for him, cause his mind is so focused on money. Lying won't be hard either cause he's naturally a blunt person.

But the one thing that does stand in his way might be showing love and compassion. His mom never showed him that, so how is he suppose to show it? That's just something Karma will have to teach him and be patient with.

***********

Karma walked down the grand staircase and into the kitchen so she could start breakfast. But to her surprise, Kacy was already cooking.

Remembering what he said about not cooking for others, Karma decided to make herself an omelet. She opened the fridge to grab the eggs. When she turned around, she ran into Kacy's hard chest.

"What ya doin?" He asked "I'm already cookin"

"I clearly remember you saying you don't cook for nobody else but yourself. Now excuse me" she stepped to the side and so did he.

"Naw I'm cookin for the both of us. Now go sit down, and chill" he took the eggs out her hand and out them back in the fridge.

Karma listened and went to sit in the living room. Sitting Indian style, she turned on the TV and went on Netflix. Looking for a scary movie, she found Cheetah girls instead.

Saying word for word and song after song made Karma smile. The movie marked a time when she didn't have to worry about much. It would be nice to go back to that.

Interrupting her thoughts, Kacy put the plate of food in front of her and water then took a seat next to her. "Yo this my s**t" he smiled.

Karma didn't respond. She just ate her food and watched the movie. Awhile later when the movie was over, Kacy turned and looked at Karma.

"What?"

"Ion know why ya bein like this all of a sudden. All I did was tell you, I liked yo ass and ya actin like I proposed or sum s**t" Karma rolled her eyes "Don't think just cause ya bein hostile and showin resentment towards me, that I'm gon stop likin ya. All that attitude gon do is make me like ya more and chase afta ya more" he shrugged as a smirk tugged at his lips.

"Can we finish watching TV?"

"Naw" Kacy took a sip of his juice "But what we can do is tell a nigga the real reason you don't want ta' f**k with me"

Karma sighed "I already told you why"

"Naw what ya did is judge me afta you said ya wouldn't. What ya did is look at me differently afta ya said ya wouldn't. Karma ion need ya ta' sit here and lie ta' me bout nothin. Be real with me. "

Karma looked down at her lap and played with her fingers. Kacy moved closer to her. Gently grabbing her chin, he made her look up. "What I tol' you bout that s**t. Why ya bein insecure?" He asked softly.

She sniffed back tears and moved away from his hand "Look at me Kacy. Like really. I have nothing. No ass, no titties nothing. Why you want to be with a stick like me? I have nothing to offer you like these other girls"

Kacy looked at her and stayed quiet, waiting for her to finish. "All throughout school, guys would tell me nobody wants me because I'm skinny. Always asking do you eat? Or Are you starving yourself? I can't help the fact that I'm skinny. I've tried gaining weight. I've used birth control, and all that did was give me these excruciating migraines that put me in the hospital. I've tried weight gaining pills from TV and all they did was leave a bad taste in my mouth. "

She chuckled and wiped her tears "Then it hit me that I can't gain weight no matter what because being skinny is in my blood. My mom, grandma and great grandma we're all skinny. I'm naturally skinny but people still tend to think I made myself this way" she cried.

Kacy wrapped his arms around her and she put her face in his chest "I'm so tired of it Kacy"

He rocked her gently and rubbed her back slowly. Kacy didn't say anything until she was done crying "What I tol' ya a few days ago? Ion care about your body type. Long as you got a good heart." He said pushing loose hair from her face "All these other girls out here don't got s**t I need Karma. They could be the baddest b***h ever, but I'd still only want ya. You're smart, you're beautiful and ya the sweetest and most honest female I've met. I don't care about yo ass or titties ma. Honest I don't"

"But everyone else does"

"Stop worrying about what everybody else got ta' say about you. Like ya said, ya can't change how you look. Don't try and change ya self for these muthafuckas cause at the end of the day, they not livin in ya body Karma. You are."

She nodded slightly and moved away "I understand"

"I hope so. Now ion want ta' hear no more s**t about what people say about you. I love ya body and so should you" Kacy stood up from the couch and grabbed the dishes "Go get dressed."

"Why we here Kacy?" Karma asked. She looked around the restaurant and the people there. Rich white people who act stuck up because they have money.

"We're on a date" he said in a duh tone "I need ya ta' know that no matta what nobody got ta' say bout you, I'll still see ya as Karma. A beautiful smart girl, who speaks her mind and who has a big heart"

"You didn't have to do all this though Kacy. This place looks expensive"

He chuckled "It is" he picked up his menu and started scanning down the food. Karma did the same, but the prices would change her mind "Don't worry bout them prices ma"

Settling on the shrimp pasta with lemon pepper, she put the menu down and continued to look around the resturant. The ceiling was a beautiful mural of Jesus and the last supper. The carpet was a light creme color and everything else just seemed to flow.

"Kacy are you sure its safe to be here? You know, because of everything going on?"

He looked over his menu then closed it and put it down "Come over here for a minute" Karma scooted her chair by his. Kacy leaned in to her ear, causing his lips to brush against her skin and chills to run down her spin. "Look up and ta' the right of the buildin."

Karma did as told and could see a man in all black, with a gun pointed at her and Kacy . "He's gonna shoot us?" She asked panicking.

"Naw, he watching us. Now look at the dude in front of the buildin, readin the book. He watchin us to. Ain't no need ta' be scared ma. Ya safe with me"

Karma smiled a little and stood to move her chair back but Kacy stopped her "Yea?"

"Stay here" he smiled. Karma sat back down Kacy put his arm around her shoulders "Ya look beautiful in that dress"

She blushed and looked away but Kacy gently grabbed her chin and turned her head back "Thank you Kacy"

The food came and Kacy and Karma talked while they ate. But Karma was distracted. The way his food smelled, had her hypnotized. Its like the smell would get stronger and stronger every time she breathed in.

"Ya iight Karma?" Kacy chuckled looking at her face "Look like ya just had an orgasm" he teased.

She giggled and playfully pushed him "Shut up. I was smelling your food"

"You wan' taste?" He picked a piece and put the fork up to her mouth.

Every time she'd open and lean forward, he'd pull the food away. "Quit playin" Kacy laughed. That went on a few times before Karma just gave up "Man I don't even want it no more" she pouted.

Kacy chuckled "I'm playin baby. Here" He out the food to her lips and she quickly ate it before he had a chance to pull away "Its good huh?"

"Yea, let's trade"

"Hell naw girl" he laughed pushing away her fork "Eat your own"

"But I want yours" she whined.

"I know but you should've ordered it"

"Kacy please"

"Let me feed ya" Kacy smiled. Karma smiled back and turned her body to face him. Kacy put food on his fork and put it to her lips and watched as she slowly opened her mouth and pulled away from the fork with the food in her mouth. Kacy licked his lips "Ya betta stop Karma"

"I didn't do anything" she giggled. "Come on. More please" Kacy continued to feed Karma until his food was gone then she fed him her food.

After they ate and Kacy paid, they walked out. Kacy reached for her hand and entwined their fingers and when she didn't pull away, he smiled to himself.

"We not goin back ta' the house. We meeting everybody at Dion's house" he said "How that plan comin?" He looked down at her.

Karma looked up at him "I've been thinkin about it still. Its just a few things that I can't work out cause there's something's I don't know but we'll talk when we get to Dion's"
