Chereads / Street Legacies Book 1: Tales of G / Chapter 9 - things you lose

Chapter 9 - things you lose

I haven't slept much lately. It's been 3 days since I found out Tron might be missing. I haven't talked to Bre or them niggas Tron ran with.

In the midst of all that I been trying to get my pockets right. It's hard trying to focus on the money when you feel like you not doing enough. I feel like I should be out there looking for him.

Even though it's something telling me I'm wrong and Tron is just hiding since he did that dirt, a part of me know it's a wrap.

"Where the fuck you at man" I thought.

I came home to everything being different. It's like I came home and became a part of everybody drama.

Bre keeping secrets. Then I think is it really a secret if the bitch was already in the mix wit the nigga? Tron networking wit fuck niggas.

Stick and Cash hating. Moms not even moms no more.

I was thinking so much my head started hurting. My phone went off and it took me by surprise.

"This Jewels. I got your number a few days ago. Are you good"?

"Always mommas"

"I like that can I come thru?"

"Of course "

After sending her the address I quickly got dressed. That shower had me feeling to good and I was still in my towel.

I had been spending money lately. Got my gear up. Got some feet. Even got moms and Gino right. That free gram for my number been paying off.

Jewels was too fine for me not to get spiffy.

Once I got dressed I had took some flavors out and had them set up for her. This was my first time having someone come over for bud and the presentation needed to be on point.

I was making sure my shit was tight.

Is this what it feel like to niggas when a pretty chick make her presence known. I been gone and around nothing but niggas so I had to make sure I was presentable

I let Jewels knock for a little bit cause I was looking at her fine ass thru my window. How my house built my room wrap around the side and I can see the front of it.

She had on these khaki shorts wit a white collar shirt tucked in. Her legs shined like 2 yellow bone glow sticks. Her hair slicked back in a bun with some soft curls off to the side.

She cleaned up real nice.

"I was gone melt boy"

She said stepping inside.

I couldn't help but look and just how I imagined, that ass was fat.

"My bad I was in the back. I didn't think you was coming"

" I had to put some clothes on. Do my hair and stuff. Is this your place?"

"Naw this my moms crib. I'm only about a week out so im here for now"

I offered her a seat and brought the bud over to her. I was getting nervous and needed to do something about it.

"So you were locked up. How old are you?"

"Turned 19 not too long ago and yea did a 4 piece for some crash dummy shit." I said.

She was smelling the m weed and I could see she had them titties sitting up how I like em. They wasn't real big or small they was just right.

"Ok I think I want this one. I don't smoke much so this will last me a few days."

She was taking her side bag off and I saw the Tommy Hififer logo on her shirt. I had on Tommy from head to the socks. It was my go to always has been.

"That's you then." I said staring at her like a fucking snack.

"Naw I pay for my shit. How much i owe you?"

"Na foreal you keep that in ya pocket. And plus you got own my favorite brand you earned that"

She looked me up and down and smiled.

"I was gone get some food after this. I mean maybe let me feed you then. You are all dressed up looking good"

She was up on her feet and I realized she taller than I thought. Tall women always been my thing.

"You sure you can be seen with me? I know you got some stalkers out here" I said.

If these niggas was smart they'd hop on it. Jewels was bad asf.

"Boy don't nobody know me so the question is can you be seen with me?" She was quick with it.

A female nobody know was always a good thing. Niggas couldn't say they hit. But I don't know this girl from Adam and Eve she could be running game.

"Na you good wit me. I said

I grabbed my 40 from under the pillow next to where she was standing and put it in my waist line. I was waiting on her to say something but she just stood there waiting.

"Ok so you gone have to pick the place because I don't know where I am"

Her Beamer was new. All black with red guts. M series. The dash, door panels and seats where red leather with black stitching. This bitch was clean.

"You ever had Paula's?" I asked

"Nope but i heard it's basically the night club of food places"

It was a movie every weekend at Paula's. For some reason Thursday was always packed.

We made small talk on our way. Her real name is Julia after her grandma. She black and white but don't claim her white side, which I thought was funny.

She go to Acu on a full ride and had to move here by herself. I wanted to ask how old she was but I could tell she was older than me and that's how I liked it.

"Damn there's literally nowhere to park"

Paula's was indeed packed. We had to park and walk a half block.

"This is crazy Gianni. They not even eating" Jewels said as we approached.

"Naw you come here to really be seen. Shoot the shit. Make some money ya know. This the spot." I explained.

Inside was full of folks. You could barely see the other side. The line was all the way to the door and more people were coming in.

We were standing in line when Jewels said.

"So what's good here"

"Everything really. But the wings and fried rice my go to"

It didn't take long for someone to recognize me.

"Niggas come home and act like they don't know nobody." The voice behind me said.

I turn around to see this nigga I went to school wit name Reggie.

Reggie was one of them niggas that get booty hurt behind hoes. Be beatin em up and shit. Nigga beat this girl up in 8th grade for calling him gay.

I never fucked wit this nigga anyway. So I ignored his ass.

You can smell the liquor seeping from his pores. I wouldn't get no points for mashing his ass. Plus I don't argue wit niggas. I don't talk to niggas. I don't fuck wit niggas.

We were next in line to order and he just couldn't help it.

"Yeah have her pay for me and my niggas shit too."

"Oh you still asking for money to buy ice cream at lunch huh. Fall back foreal Reggie I'm not even on that type time"

"Niggas get out get a little money and act brand new. Matter fact put me on witcha"

This was that small town shit. Can't get no money and you can't be broke they gone bring ya up anyway.

"You got the wrong info my boy you see I can't even afford Paula's. Maybe you need to put me on"

I said keeping it cool.

I fear no nigga and dude and his cheerleaders wasn't on shit. Them the type of niggas tryna make noise and nobody hear em.

"Them niggas lame as hell. I hate niggas like that"

Jewel said. She was following me outside. That's where the real movie was.

"Yea I went to school wit that nigga. He been like that since then"

"So is that your friend too"

she asked nodding towards the cash register.

It was Paula's niece. And I was too busy bullshitting with Reggie to notice she was the one who took our order.

"I really don't even know her. She's Paula's niece thats about it. What made you ask me that?"

The food was good and hot as always. And I took no time with it.

"She had that look like she wanted you or wanted to say something to you."

"Oh you know what that look mean?

"We all do. She not the only one staring at you either. Let me find out you got fans."

I'm technically a fresh face on the scene. Most of these people I've never seen before and had the last 4 years to settle in

I recognized a few people once I actually started to pay attention

"Do we need to go?"

Jewels asked.

That was Bre 2nd time calling.

"Naw we good they just need some bud. I can call back later."

Jewels was real observant. That's how I knew she was older. How she see shit I don't. Then it dawned on me she only notice the bitches.

We sat and ate for about a hour. We got to know each other a bit more and was vibing.

"Damn watch where the fuck you going" I heard Reggie's loud ass say.

I look up to him and some big esa arguing.

"Na you just in the fucking way"

His voice sounded familiar. And when I noticed the men with him it came to me.

"TC"

"Who?" Asked Jewels.

"I don't know much about him but he be taking money from Miss Paula. I think since she in his territory"

"Wow. I thought that only happened in movies. He's extorting her. That's fucked up"

Tc turned around to walk inside when Reggie said.

"Bitch ass nigga stepped on my shoes. You gone buy me another pair."

Tc stopped in his tracks. Turned on around and went to reaching.

"Arriba"

Someone yelled.

Tc just smiled as he casually put his gun away. He was gone kill Reggie I was certain.

It was Paula's niece. She had the same envelope in her hand but this time she had her purse too.

I remember how scared she was the last time I was here. She looked even more frightened now.

"Let's go"

Tc said and She followed behind him.

Reggie's face was red. You could damn near see his heart beating thru his chest. His boys looked even more afraid.

Niggas be clowning not knowing it's real deal killas out here. Niggas is really dying behind nothing. Reggie causing a scene almost got his ass smoked.

"Let me get you out of here"

I led jewels out the gate and had my hand at the small of her back.

She didn't say nothing but I know she felt me back there. I opened her door and everything. She had me really being corny. And I didn't mind it.

We were riding in silence when she said.

"Top"

I looked at her confused.

"That girl she called him top. Arriba"

"Damn so you know Spanish?" I asked.

"Yeah and a little bit of German"

"So you about to be a dentist and you know more than 2 languages you dangerous" I said.

Top. I was trying to place names when Bre called me again. This time I answered.

"Yeah I was at Paula's my bad I didn't hear my phone" I lied.

"Ok I'm headed home now"

"Everything ok she sounds pissed off"

Jewels said.

I didn't know if she was being nosey or if Bre was really that loud. Was she just paying attention either way I liked it.

"Yea my Homegirl Bre still needing some green. It's cool"

It wasn't cool. Bre was really acting weird and I wasn't trying to deal with her right now.

When we pull up to the house Bre is parked in my drive way with her lights on. She's sitting on the porch and when she see us she hop up.

"Man what the fuck"

I said as I'm getting out the car.

"What you speed over here" I asked her.

I was walking over to Jewels window to tell her goodnight.

"Who is she?" Bre asked.

"Breanna- Jewels cut me off

"I'm Julia but I go buy Jewels. Are you Bre.?"

"Oh so you know I'm his best friend"

Bre said.

I was highly confused and lost. Bre blew me up to talk and seeing me with another chick must have took her by surprise. Her emotions were all over the place.

"Umm no I know you've called him 4 times while we were eating though"

She was picking with Bre but she was my friend and I barely knew Jewels.

"Jewels don't do that. When you make it home let me know. Thank you for the food"

I cut that little cat fight short. I'm not gone let nobody talk crazy to Bre. And at the same time I wanted to defend Jewels because I think I'm starting to like her.

"So that's why you wasn't answering. You was with some bitch. You couldn't call me back?"

"First of all Bre watch how you handle me. I was out and about and enjoying myself I wasn't on my phone"

"Well yea because if you were you'd see me calling and you would have saw this"

She threw her phone to me and I almost dropped it. I looked at the screen and started reading.
