George POV
As I was getting into my truck after leaving my Jazmín’s house my phone started ringing. I sigh seeing it is Chris on the other end. The guy could easily take all the orders and fill them himself and yet he’s calling me.
“What?!” I bark into my phone as I answer it
“we got a problem man. I’m all out of the grass can you pick some up?” he begs
“this couldn’t wait 20 mins for me to get over there? Fine I’ll get some before I head over.”
“where were you last night man. It’s not normal for you to call out like that.”
“don’t worry about it. I needed some time. Thank God I don’t have to worry about the next three days. I’ll get you enough for the next couple days but you pay upfront got it?” I turn onto the highway and head to little Mexico. I text my boy Jose and tell him I am headed to his place now.
The drive takes about 90 minutes and I’m sure Alena is in class already. Hopefully she will be a little bit so I don’t have to meet up with her too late. I always have a small bag in my truck but was hoping to get a couple extra pairs of clothes just in case it’s longer than another night. The wind jerks the steering wheel in my hand and I realize I’m daydreaming about Alena and the feeling of her body against mine. I shift in my seat rearranging my self as everything is beginning to feel a bit tight. Damn I gotta stop thinking of her or this is gonna be an awkward meeting and look like I have two guns in my waistband instead of just one. Another half hour of driving and I’m pulling up to Jose’s most recent of apartments. That’s when I notice Hector is over there too. Damn I know he’s gonna ask why I was asking about Maria. I stuff my .45 into my waistband and slam the truck door already frustrated both sexually and emotionally. Mac rushes out the door and starts barking and growling at me. I laugh pushing him down and telling him to shut the hell up as I walk into the apartment.
“Mac is tough as ever. Hey Jose got my s**t I have to get back.” I say seeing the guys in the family room. He hands me a package and I take out a dime bag and cigarillo before rolling a blunt with it and lighting it up to make sure it’s decent product. Damn it tasted right. I hand the blunt to Hector who happily take it.
“No one rolls as good as you man” he says letting out a cloud of smoke. “so tell me did u finally find your girl?” he gives me a knowing grin. “after all she’s asking Yolanda for information on you. What do I say?”
“first things first. Thanks for the bud man love that AZ shit.” I hand an envelope to Jose before turning to Hector “tell her the truth. If she still lets me stay the night again I know she’s gonna be my perfect Jazmín” this really could blow up in my damn face but what the hell put it all out without having to say s**t that’s easier at least. I watch as Hector types to his cousin. He gives me a smile.
“Told her the truth man what she tells Maria is on her.” We pass around a couple blunts smoking with them if only to calm my nerves about later today when my phone goes off.
Alena:
Hey I’m done with class I will be home in about an hour. Let me know when you plan to come over.
George:
Give me about three hours I have to take care of something really quick.
I can’t help the grin that shows up on my face. “well looks like the truth ain’t gonna scare this b***h off.” The guys laugh.
“Told ya Maria was perfect. Go get her man.” He slaps my back almost pushing me out the door. I put the package into the hidden compartment in my truck and speed off to the hotel. I make good time and put half the package into Chris’s car making sure to grab the payment from his glove box before heading up to my room. I get in and shower quick before packing a duffel with my shower stuff and a few pairs of clothes. Before heading out I slip on my slides and text Chris
George
Hey man everything’s all good but you might want to lock your car.
I don’t wait for a reply before turning my ringer off and heading out of the room. On my way to the lobby I run into Chris who gives me a confused look. “hey man I’ll be gone for at least the weekend. Hold things down for me will ya?” I grin and walk past him hopping into my truck and pulling away. I was excited as I drove to Alena’s house. I had kept a couple quarters from the package and stopped at a gas station near by picking up a couple different white owl flavored cigars before continuing to her house. I grab my .45 Dallinger and put it in my back pocket behind my wallet then stuff the bud and cigars into my duffel. I grab my duffel and walk up to the door. I am just about to knock when it opens.
“Querido” she squeals leaping into my arms I drop my bag so that I can catch her. “ I’ve missed you so much.” she whispers as she peppers me with kisses.
“It was only a few hours my Jazmín.” I whisper softly. “we can’t just hole up in the house forever and not work.”
She looks at me and starts to pout. “fine. At least I’ll have you with me at night now.” She grabs my bag and heads inside. “Are you coming?”
I follow her inside and to the bedroom where she drops my bag on the chair and stares at me. “Do you have some questions for me?” I wonder aloud.
She nods “Is it true? Is that why you only want me to wear green, yellow, black and white bandanas.”
“is what true my little Jazmín?”
“You know what I mean, querido. Are you really deeply involved with the kings?” she begins to fidget with the hem of her skirt not looking at me.
“Yes to both questions. If you want to be with me I promise you I will always protect you. No matter what.” I step towards her and when she stands her ground I pull her towards me. “Do you still want me?”
She starts to laugh. I mean seriously I tell this b***h that I am deeply involved in gang life and what does she do? Laugh. God damn I found one crazy ass b***h to fall for. I mean she’s laughing hysterically who does that. I shake my head and hold her afraid she would fall over if I let her go. How the heck do I stop this? I just held her for 20 minutes until she stopped. “oh querido do you really think I’m about to let you walk out of my life?” damn she’s got one psycho smile on her face “I plan to have you with me forever and should you choose to leave me I promise you I will cause everyone of your relationships to fail one way or another.” How the heck am I supposed to respond to that. I know Hector said to go get my girl but at this point I’m pretty sure she would stalk me if I hadn’t. She pushed me hard catching me off guard and forcing me to fall on the bed. “I mean it querido. You. Are. Mine” she smiles innocently at me and straddles me on the bed. “you good with that?” I simply nod unable to think of anything else. Wait is she not wearing panties?
