In Too Deep ( A Dave East Story! )

Chapter 1 - Not Again

Blessing's POV 

  Zaire never came and picked me up! I pushed the thought to the back of my head as I got ready for school. "I need to get my hair done" I thought out loud.  I made a call to my hairstylist for me and Kennedy. I sat on the toilet and used it as I waited for the water to get hot. After finishing I washed my hands and face, As well as  brushed my teeth.  I got in the shower and let the water run through my hair and down my body. I washed my hair and body then got out grabbing my black towel. Drying off I walked in my room and began rubbing down with cocoa butter, then I put on my robe and went to do my hair.

  I grabbed my knot out butter and sectioned off my hair which was now damp and put that through it. After shaking it I put the top in two buns and let the back out. I did my makeup then got dressed. Walking downstairs Malik had cooked breakfast . I wanted to pass since I had just brushed my teeth but it was my favorite . French Toast ! He put me a plate on the table and I sat down. Then there was a knock at the door , I started to get up but then Malik had went to answer so I just sat back down. 

     "Actually it's for you" Malik said coming back to his plate. Opening the door Zaire had flowers and a bag. He had on a black long sleeve , Acid washed pants , and some Grey Jordan's. "Good morning" he said giving me the flowers. "Hey" I replied. " B I'm sorry for not picking you up last night, I had a lot on my mind and I fell asleep." He said all in one breath.

  "You good" I said not holding a grudge. "I can't ride to school with you though I'm in the middle of eating. Meet you there ?" I said and he gave me a hug and walked away. I took the flowers in the house and put them in a vase . "Who was that?" Malik asked as I sat down to finish my meal.  "Just a friend" "Oh...okay , why were you so late last night?" He asked. "Car troubles" I responded. We continued on our meal with small talk. When I was finished I grabbed a pack of gum gave Malik a hug and left the house.

  Walking into my first period Mr. Montez looked at me as if I was crazy. He has a big ass mouth and he always had something to say. "Good Morning Mr. Montez" I said with a huff. "Good Morning Blessing , did you finish the assignment from yesterday and the homework ?"  "Yes Mr. Montez" I said sitting down, getting annoyed. "What about you Zaire ?" he turned looking towards the door. Y'all ever have that one teacher who wanted to see you fail? Well this was the one I could not stand his ass, but I needed this math credit. So that I could get the hell out of high school.

  "Nah I ain't did it yet, but I'm fin to. I fell asleep when I got home and forgot about school " He replied. "Okay, but if it isn't done by 7:30 it's an F " he replied with a smile. Zaire then got out the paper and began to do it. I was bored and class still hadn't started yet. I didn't have s**t to do. So I decided to mess with Zaire. I started poking him with my pencil, but he ignored me so I blew out a deep breath. I kept doing it until it got his attention. "What Blessing" He said giving me his full attention. "I'm bored" I replied.

        "Well I got two questions left and it's 7:25 , class about to start" He said getting back to his work. I never in my life met a cute ass nigga this focused on his books. Like through the whole period I was trying to get his attention and he didn't notice me. So when the bell rang I was already packed and I just walked out. "Blessing come here" Z said following me. I stopped as he caught up. "I know you wanted my attention, but I got to stay focused." "Okay" He kissed my forehead and left I saw Kennedy and walked towards her.  

  "Hey boo" I said as she noticed me. "Wassup Wassup" "Not s**t what you doing after school ?" I asked remembering I had scheduled us a hair appointment . "I'm going to be with Tay, plus I'm broke sorry love" She stuttered walking away. I did the same, because I was about to be late and I knew that hoe was telling a lie, she just won't get her hair did. Tay is Kennedy's boyfriend. He's an okay dude. He has a flat top and he's light skinned. They've been together for almost a year now and I guess they're in love, but as long as my best friend is happy kudos to them.

    I reached class and pulled out a piece of paper writing my name in the top right hand corner. Then my phone vibrated.

                                                                                Today 11:05 Pm 

Zaire - I Gotta Give You This Bag, I'm Leaving Early To Go Handle Business I'll See You After School At 2. 

    I responded with okay and began to do my work. It was a simple assignment. Thirty minutes into class Z walked in sitting my bag beside me . He kissed my temple and walked back out. Lord have mercy I thought to myself as I began to turn red with everyone's eyes on me. A hour later class ended I gathered my stuff together and left out to my car. I put both bags in the back and sped home. When I got home I took a hot shower, brushed my teeth and washed my face. 

  I put my hair in a neat ponytail and wrapped a grey silk scarf around it. I put on a under set, tank top, shorts and some grey knee high socks. After I was finished I put on music and began to clean. My house was so empty. It consisted of two bedrooms and one bathroom. I stay with my older brother Kareem he's 20. Only three years older than me, but he's always out of town or at his house in Las Vegas which he rents. Where my  mom and step dad live. My stepdad was in the game, he's a Blood. He rides the 5 star, but he gave that up to my brother. Well my half brother. When I was twelve I was held hostage for two years. My stepdad had gotten into some s**t with a Crip and they took me. He didn't even bother to look for me, but my mother and brother found me. That's when my brother decided I needed not to be there and me and him moved to Atlanta. 

  A couple months later I was told my stepdad wasn't my father. When my mother was younger my brothers dad and her split. When they had gotten back together she was 2 months pregnant with me. I know my real dad he checks up on me in the beginning of every month and has been putting money into a account that he set up for me, even though I make enough. Anyways I cleaned the house and went back upstairs. It was Friday and I was bored out of my mind. Even though it's only been two days of me knowing him, Zaire's a cool person. 

  I went upstairs to see what was in the bag he gave me. Opening the bag out came chocolate, candy , A cover and a little black box. My appointment wasn't until 3:00. I put on the necklace and put the rest of the stuff back in the bag, I grabbed the cover which smelt of him and dozed off to sleep. 

                                                                                            Zaire's POV

  I'm hoping I get home tonight , because I don't want to go out like this I though while Tony spoke.  "Ash to ash dust to dust, Bloods we trust, crabs we bust, kill a crab win a  prize, kill a blood your whole family dies" I kicked down the door to the room making my way in. I shot everyone in sight then I made my way to the next floor. We was taking out a crew because, they had disrespected us.

   They shot up a trap and stole from us, I had to do what was needed. Walking into the next room no one was there I just heard crying opening the door there was a baby inside. Rule was if you look over 6 you die, but this baby wasn't over 6 she looked as if she was a couple weeks old skin still peeling. I grabbed her and made my way back to the car telling Tony and Dex to finish the job, because of an emergency. I called the clean up crew and told them where to go then I made my way home. 

  I got home and texted Blessing ...

                                                                                         Today 2:45 PM

Blessing - Sorry B , Can't make it I have some more business I need to handle.

     I then went to the police station. I don't mess with the feds but I had to do this the right way. When I got there I told them she was left on my doorstep and they told me to take her to the hospital. They took her in and I waited, fifteen minutes later they came back.  "This is Amira Renee Wilson she's a month we know by the ankle bracket, It hasn't been removed yet. Her date of birth is July 2nd, 2018 and she was born here at 8:56 pm. We will send you the rest of her information in about a week including her social security number and you can order her a birth certificate through Vital Statistics, but we need you to sign this paper stating that you will be the adoption parent or will take care of her until your unable to."

    Damn this was a lot to take in. Me adopting a baby? I knew she needed a safe environment to grow up in, I knew I had just killed her mother and father. I had to do this, this wasn't the situation she had chosen to be in. I signed the papers took the car seat and left. I guess I'm going to try a new living.

                                                                                   Blessing's POV 

  I woke up to my phone vibrating...

  After reading the message I threw on some sweatpants and rushed to my hair appointment. This nigga ... and not only is this the second time ... I pushed my thoughts to the back of my mind and dialed his number over the speaker in the car. "Hello" He said sounding suspect , which threw me off. "Hey what you doing?" I said throwing it out of my head. "Look B I'm busy right now I said I'll see you in the morning .." He responded "I was just checking up on you, but you're rude as hell. I have plans anyways Zaire"  "I'll try to make it tonight" he responded " I hear you" and with that I hung up.
