Not Your Typical Thug (Book 1)

10

"Damn girl. That s**t look nice" Kat said looking at the necklace around Karmas neck. "Let me guess. Ya man gave it to you" she smirked.

Karma blushed and rolled her eyes playfully "Ash, get her"

"Oh no. I want to know to. He did, didn't he?"Karma nodded slowly causing Ash and Kat to start screeching in happiness. "Y'all made it official?"

"Yea, last night. That's why he gave it to me"

"Girl yes. Can't even stop smiling" Kat teased.

"Leave her alone. Always messin with people."

The room door opened and Kacy walked in with Slim and Morgan behind him. "Get them asses up. Time to go" Slim yelled "Damn K, I ain't know you went out like that" he said looking at the necklace around Karma neck.

"Yea nigga. That s**t nice" Morgan added "Bout time y'all together. I was tired of them games"

"Right" Ash laughed with Kat.

"f**k all y'all" Kacy smiled taking a seat next to Karma. He threw his arm over her shoulder "Why you letting them get on ya man like that?" He asked, kissing her jawline.

She giggled and faced him "Why you lettin them get on your girl like that?"

"You right ma" he pecked her lips "That necklace look good on you"

"I know, don't it?" She said cockily.

"Iight. Keep on" he smirked "Iight everybody. Time ta' roll out" Everyone made their way out the room door. Morgan and Ash argued while Slim and Kat just laughed.

"But niggas want females to shave. Why can't niggas at least trim. I don't like feelin that s**t on my s**t"

"Its not a manly thing to do. What nigga you know shave his d**k? That's gay"

"I'm not saying shave. Just trim it" she yelled frustrated as everyone stepped on the elevator. Karma took her usual spot, her back to Kacy's chest and his arms around her.

"Stop talkin to me man. It ain't like we fuckin, so why you care if my d**k hairy?"

Everyone laughed, except Ash "Yea you right" she rolled her eyes and didn't say anything.

"Karma, do you like hairy d**k or trimmed?" Kat asked giggling .

"Just chill Kat" Kacy mumbled.

Karma rolled her eyes "Shut up Kat"

"Leave her alone. You just mad cause you ran through like a tunnel" Slim said cracking up "I hear that s**t whistle when you walk"

"Alright alright. No need to get on her" Karma defended her. The elevator dinged and everyone stepped off and walked to the van.

The ride was quiet but only because everyone was busy enjoying the view. Columbia's a beautiful place.

A few moments later, the van stopped in front of a huge mansion. Everyone got out and Kacy knocked on the door.

A small woman opened the door "Welcome to senior José's. He's been expecting you. Please, follow me" her short legs carried her to the living room and everyone sat down. "He'll be with you in a moment" she walked off.

"This place is nice" Ash said looking around.

"Yea, right" Slim mumbled, agreeing. Another short woman soon walked into the living room with drinks on a platter. She set the drinks in front of the crew and walked off.

Karma tasted it "Its white wine" she put it back on the table and didn't touch it.

It seemed like years, but was only 5 minutes when José walked into the living room. He wore a freshly tailored Armoni suit with the matching shoes. His silver hair was neatly combed to the side and his light blue eyes were on full display.

"Welcome" he smiled as he walked over to the chair marked José . "I'm happy to finally meet you all. I am José, and its a pleasure to do business with you all"

"I'm Kacy, and this is Karma, Slim, Ash, Kat and Morgan" he pointed to everyone as he said their name.

"We seem to be missing someone"

"Yea, Dion. He's in the hospital right now"

José nodded slowly "I send you my condolences. Did Smokey do that to him?" Everyone nodded "I think its best we get started then. What can I do for you all?"

"Um we need your help Mr. José"Karma spoke "You see, Smokey turned his back on my friends here after doing business with them for years. One's already dead and another's on life support"

"We found out that you and Smoky have had connections for some time now, and in that time he's also betrayed you a few times" Kat said "Just like he did us"

"So we think its only right that we come together, and get rid of Smokey and everyone that works for him. He's a sneaky ass nigga and doesn't deserve to be here" Slim said.

"Basicly what we sayin is, since Smokey crossed both of us, we should team up and get rid of him" Ash finished.

José nodded slowly as he looked at the wine glasses on the table. Everyone's glass was drank from, except Karmas. He looked at her and smiled a little.

"You didn't drink your wine beautiful"

"I don't drink sir" she smiled a little. He nodded again.

"I'll help you" José said "But what's the catch here?"

"There is no catch sir. We just need to get rid of Smokey before he takes out someone else on our team" Karma said "And since you're so powerful and well respected, we thought you'd be the best person for the job" she smiled.

"So I help you kill Smokey, and that it huh? I like it" he smiled "I'm in"

*****

Everyone was all dressed up fancy, as they arrived in front of José's mansion. Its the following day and José thought it was only right to celebrate finally getting rid of Smokey.

Dressed in the best, the crew all walked in the mansion and were escorted to the dining room.

"Nice to see you all again. This is my wife, Angel. " José said as his wife walked into the dining room.

"Hi everyone. Its a pleasure to have you all here for dinner. And congratulations on the "win" I guess" she laughed.

Everyone joined in and she sat down. José looked over Karma, Ash and Kat "You ladies look beautiful as always"

"Thank you" they said in unison.

Jose clapped his hands and waiter after waiter came out the kitchen and placed a plate and drink on front of everyone. "I had to bring out the best for you all. Enjoy"

Slim was the first to dig in "This is good as hell" he smiled, going in for another bite. The night went on with conversation and laughes. Occasionally, José would look over at Karma and Kacy noticed.

"Kacy, can I talk to you alone?" José asked. Kacy stood up from his seat, kissed Karma and followed José a short distance to his office. "Have a seat please" Kacy sat down and rejected both the cigar and wine José offered. "I sense some hostility between us friend"

Kacy shrugged "Ion know what you talkin bout Mr.José"

"Please, just José. Anyway, I know you noticed how often I would look at Karma. But believe me, its not for the reasons you think" he slowly stood up and walked to the bookcase behind him. Picking up a picture frame, he passed it to Kacy.

"That's my daughter Angelia. She's in the states studying to be a doctor."

"She looks a lot like Karma" Kacy said. From the eyes, to the lips. Just the whole face, except Karmas is a little bit fatter in the cheeks.

"Yea I know. I haven't seen my daughter in three years, so when I seen Karma, I couldn't help but look a few times. I didn't mean no offence to you, of course, but that's my baby girl. I miss her. You'll understand when you have a daughter"

"No, kids aren't my thing José" Kacy chuckled.

José smiled "I was just like you when I was younger you know? Said the same exact thing and I have four kids."

"Different woman?"

"Nope. From Angel." He smiled "You and Karma make a beautiful couple and I noticed that necklace around her neck. It speaks volumes"

Kacy smiled "I had to do it, that's my baby"

"That's cute. But there's one thing I need to tell you that's very important. No matter what your gut tells you, if Karma has a bad feeling about it, believe her and get out of that situation quick"

"I understand José. I'll remember that" Kacy said.

"And another thing. Karmas a sweet and special girl. Treat her right"

"I will José" he smiled, standing to his feet. Him and José shook hands then went back into the dining room where everyone else was. Kacy took a seat, and kissed Karma slowly.

"What was that?" She asked when he pulled away.

"Just ta' show I 'preciate ya baby"

***********

"Karma" Kacy dragged out "Where you at baby?" He asked looking around the pool area for her. Its everyone's last day in Columbia and while everyone else is out clubbing, Kacy and Karma were spending time together at the pool.

He heard Karma giggle and when he turned around, she pushed him in the pool. Kacy quickly grabbed her arm, pulling her in the water with him. "Kacy, put me down" Karma laughed as he picked her up then slammed her back into he water. She came up laughing "I hate you"

"You hate me baby?" He asked with a smile on his face. He reached out for Karma but she kept backing away from him "Ion hate you"

"But I hate you" she smiled, backing into the wall. Kacy, still smiling, moved closer to Karma until they were touching. She bit her bottom lip and put her arms around his neck while Kacy licked his lips and grabbed her waist. Both leaned in for one of their intense kisses.

But this kiss wasn't like any of the others. This one had need and lust pouring out of it.

Karmas hands ran along his abs, back and shoulders while Kacy's hands where on her ass, squeezing it hard.

Karma wrapped her legs around Kacy's waist, and he moved from the lips he loves so much, to her neck. "Kacy" she moaned. His hips pushed up into Karma, and she bit her bottom lip.

Here they were, grinding and kissing each other in a pool like it's their last day together.

"Damn Karma" Kacy groaned "We needa stop baby" his mouth said, but his body was saying something different.

"No Kacy. Please don't stop"

*********

Karma laid with her head on Kacy's chest, outlining his tattoos. "Why'd you stop?" She asked, looking up at him. "It felt good" she pouted.

Kacy chuckled "I know it felt good ma. But I stopped cause when I asked if you ready, you said you think so. I need you ta' be completely sure. Ion need you ta' regret s**t when it come ta' us" he explained. "But you did sound sexy as f**k moaning my name" he chuckled.

Karma moved closer to Kacy, and put her head in the crock of his neck "I feel so safe in your arms Kacy" she mumbled.

He smiled and kissed her forehead "That's cause you are" he squeezed her tighter.

******

"It feels good to be home" Karma smiled, dropping face down in Kacy's bed. She inhaled deeply and heard Kacy chuckle behind her "Shut up" she giggled, sitting up.

"I ain't said s**t"he smiled, dropping his bags at the door. Kacy walked into the bathroom to shower. Letting the water hit his head, he smiled a little at the fact that Karma called his house, home.

It might seem like something small to some people, but to him it was something. That trip to Columbia seemed to open Karma and Kacy's relationship up, help them take the next step.

"Babe I'll be back. I'm going to the hospital then to see my mom, Joe and my dad" Karma yelled through the door.

"Iight, pick me up some wings on your way back"

"No"

He laughed and continued to take himself a shower. When he finished, unpacked his clothes and Karmas. Kacy was in a mood to clean and cook. He's never done it before, but today he felt like he needed to.

He started from upstairs and worked his way down, and even washed clothes. "I must be sick or sum s**t" he mumbled, putting the wet clothes in the dryer.

Karma left her dads house and drove over to the hospital. Walking to Dion's hospital room, doctors and nurses are rushing in and out of a room. Her heart started to beat faster, hoping it wasn't Dion's room.

When she stood in front of room 361, she slowly opened the door. "Dion?" She called out. When the door was completely opened, her eyes lit up and a smile spread across her face as a scream escaped her mouth. "Dion!" She yelled in excitement.

He smiled wide "Come here girl" she rushed over to him and hugged him tight, kissing all over his face. "You miss me?"

"I missed you so much" she said as tears ran down her face. Karna pulled back and waved at the 2 body guards in the room "Sorry. I'm emotional as hell"

The guys chuckled "You good ma" she turned back to Dion.

"I'm so glad you're ok" she grabbed his hand "I thought I lost you" she mumbled.

"I'm Dion baby girl. You of all people should've known I wasn't goin no where" he smiled "I get out in 2 weeks. You gon come visit me?"

"Everyday" she giggled "I have good news" by now, the body guards left leaving Karma and Dion alone "We got José to agree and help us"

Dion's eyes grew wide as he smiled "Yo dead ass? That's what I'm talkin about. Wait till I get out the b***h"

"No. You not getting involved, your're still hurt and need to heal" Karma said sternly "I don't need you getting hurt any worse"

"Karma i-"

"Nope, and I mean it Dion. I almost lost my mind after what happen. I'll be damned if something like that happens again"

Dion huffed and crossed his arms "Fine"

"Good" Karma smiled. "Anyone else been by to see you?"

"Naw, I actually just woke up an hour before you came. Do me a favor though, call Kacy. We needa talk" he said eyeing the necklace around Karma neck.

Karma called Kacy and in a few minutes, he was walking through the door "My nigga. I'm glad you finally up" Kacy said slapping hands with Dion as a huge smile appeared on his face. Kacy kissed Karma then took a seat beside the bed.

"I'll let y'all talk. Kacy, you want buffalo chicken?" Karma asked. He nodded "You want something D?"

"Hell yea. Shrimp and chicken fried rice with sweet and sour chicken. And make sure they put a lot of cookies in my bag too"

"Ok, I'll be back" she kissed Kacy then Dion's forehead "Don't get out that bed" she warned before leaving.

"So Wassup D? What'd the doctor say?" Kacy asked.

He sighed "I'm good man. Got stitches, staples and more blood pumped into me since I lost too much but besides that, I'm good. I leave in two week" a small smile spread across his face "Wassup with you?"

"Getting ready for the Smokey thing" he shrugged.

"And Karma?" Dion raised an eyebrow.

Kacy couldn't help but smile "That's my baby. I asked her when we was in Columbia"

Dion nodded slightly "How you feel about her? Honest"

"I mean, I like her a lot. Ion know if its love, cause I ain't never been in love but I know I'm always happy as s**t when she round me"

"Yea you ain't grumpy as f**k no more. I see that" Dion chuckled "Listen man, she like a sister to me. Don't hurt her" he warned "She wouldn't know how to handle it"

"I hear you man. I ain't gon hurt her, I already promised her I wouldn't. She in good hands, trust"
