There's Levels To My Thug (2 page)

Savannah

My girls and I took a trip out to Philly for the weekend. Dragon had a 2-bedroom apartment at Dobson Mills in Philly that he’d been renting for a while now. This was his getaway from the world. He and I used to go to the apartment at least twice a month. When I told him I would be renting a hotel for that weekend, he handed me the keys to the apartment. I mean Dobson Mills had all the amenities. Dragon had this apartment decked all the way out. I mean all white everything with accents of chrome on the glass tables to mirrors on the wall. He was having some renovations done and lucky for me they finished up early.

It was my girl Tameka birthday weekend and it was all about the turn up. Tameka and I met back when we were children in grade school. Years later Mama took Tameka in after her mother threw her out after being impregnated from rape in high school. Thru it all, we had each other back.

When we walked into the apartment, we immediately removed our shoes. When Dragon said he was doing some renovating, I didn’t think he meant anything like this. He had mirrors on the walls extra plush cream carpeting put throughout the apartment. Our feet sank right into the carpet as we walked through checking out the pad. There were marble countertops in the kitchen with stainless steel appliances, double sinks in the master bath he even did the bathroom counters in marble. Usually, two weeks out the summer Dragon would rent the apartment out to this couple he met thru Rico. So even if he wasn’t using the apartment, he was still making money off it. 

The birthday party was booked on Delaware Ave at a Club called Bamboo in their VIP section. The club was packed with Nigga’s and Bitches from wall to wall being it was the last party of the summer before the club closes for the season. Darrin nut ass and his crew came up once again flossing. He sent some drinks over to us. He even had a nerve to send a bottle of Patron over to me and my girls. After Darrin had locked eyes with me, he made his way over towards VIP straight to me.

“Hey, little lady you know you’re too fine to be traveling without your own personal bodyguard sweetness. I’ve been seeing you hanging amongst Dragon groupies. Shit, I say fuck his teams. No need to be one of his groupies when you can be the main chick on my team with me.”

Darrin said to me with a big ass smile on his face.

“Actually, I am taking applications at the moment. And I’m no one’s groupie sir my friends are friends with him so I just go and hang out in VIP with them. Not saying that’s any of your business. But it’s funny you mentioned it. Are you saying that because you’re interested in the position? Or is this you trying to just submit your application now?”

    I asked Darrin screaming over the music with a smug look on my face.

Nut ass Nigga was throwing me his played out lines the whole time, not even knowing I was texting Dragon informing him the whole time. I let him know I was throwing the bait and this Nigga was hooked. About fifteen minutes later I sent another text to my Babe saying bum ass Nigga took the bait. And he was en route to dropping me and my girls off to Midtown II down 11
th
St. Dragon sent me a text back telling me that he was already en route to the apartment to await my arrival anyway. I sent Dragon the address to Midtown II asking him to meet me there instead. I couldn’t wait to see my Babe. I have been missing him to the point that I find myself masturbating to his selfies he sends me. When we pulled up to Midtown Darrin reached in as if I was going to give his fat ass a kiss. I couldn’t wait to hop out his ride. Me and my girls walked into the diner and grabbed a booth. Just as I ordered my food, Dragon started ringing my cell. I called over to the waitress and asked her to cancel my platter. After cancelling, I handed Tameka the keys to the apartment and told her I’d meet them there. I grabbed my bag and headed towards the door. Just as I stepped out of Midtown Dragon pulled up in a brand new 2015 matte black Audi R8 convertible.

“Babe, oh my god his breath is the devil. I thought I was in hell sitting in that ride with him! I know one thing; this Nigga is sweet I should be in his pockets in no time. He even had the nerve to call me one of your fucking groupies.”

                 I said as I hopped into the convertible laughing and checking out his new ride at the same damn time.

“I told you he had a lot of heat. It isn’t just coming from me, but it’s in that fucking yuck ass mouth of his Huh! Groupie I’m glad he sees it that way his dumb ass ain’t never had anything as fine as you on his hip anyway babe for real. But he bets to watch his back when playing around with you and me.”

                Dragon said while he put his hand over his mouth checking his damn breath.

“Baby really? Now we both know there will be a cold day in hell before anyone will catch you with some funky ass breath. The way he talk it’s like he’s untouchable god’s gift to women or something.”

                  I said to Dragon letting him know I caught his ass. He looked over at me and we both started to laugh at Darrin being god’s gift to anything let alone a dog.

“Baby listen I’m thinking of a master plan we’re going to take this Nigga down! Like he’s digging me way to fast he even asked if I wanted to move in with him after graduation.”

    I said as I looked at Dragon with my devilish smile.

    “Savannah me being the man I am, what would I look like letting my lady go out and take care of my dirty work?”

Dragon grabbed my hand and kissed it.

“Listen. I’m going to entertain his fat ass let him take me out or whatever it is that he wants to do. One thing for sure he’s never going to. But let me get in good with him so we can take him down for once and all. I mean empty out all his stash spots let his fat ass beg for his life.”

Dragon and I sat in the car and hashed up a little plan to take Darrin ass down for good.

It only took Darrin two weeks before taking me through his stash houses. He was pussy struck and hadn’t even smelt the pussy. He’s begged plenty of times just to kiss the pussy. To even picture his fat ass on top of me or having his dick anywhere near me simply made me regurgitate. I can say Darrin is smart as fuck, though. He had one crib over in New Jersey and another one somewhere in Delaware each house was stashed with different products. The only thing I needed to know was where this Nigga kept his cash once I find that shit out its lights out for that Nigga. It was hard putting Darrin off so I could be with Dragon but the sooner I found out where he kept his money I would be done with him and back to my normal life.

I mean I can’t complain too much this Nigga would pop up with gifts for me not like I needed them or anything. I knew he would try some nut ass type shit if he ever found out Dragon and I was together. Dragon and I started spending less time apart so my plan could work. It got to the point I didn’t see him at all. We spoke every morning and evening before we closed our eyes to sleep but that wasn’t enough for us.

In these mean streets of New York when you’re in the game anyone you hold dear to you isn’t safe. It was times Dragon wanted to call the whole plan off he would say he couldn’t think of anything happening to me or that matter his family. Deep down Darrin had to pay. He can’t just walk away Scott free after taking from Dragon the Prince of New York.
Truth being told if it wasn’t for Dragon Darrin wouldn’t be where he is now. Darrin had some problems back in high school and when Dragon took his fat ass under his wing, Darrin problems disappeared. Darrin had started feeling his self when he and Dragon trapped together. He felt like his money was too long to work side by side with Dragon anymore not knowing the whole time while he was busy flossing like he never seen a dollar before. Dragon was stacking his paper and planning for his future. Darrin ended up stepping off he stop dealing with Dragon. He even stopped fucking around with Rico and found his self a new connect only to start a bigger beef with Dragon.

     It was time for spring break I usually don’t take breaks. I had a plan and Spring break, summer, even during my Winter breaks wasn’t in them. I was either taking extra classes or working an internship during them. I have been feeling burnt out and a little stressed and I hadn’t been feeling too well. Dragon figured since I’ve never taken a vacation since I started school, he got us some first class tickets to Montego Bay Jamaica, to try in cheer me up. He knew it was a dream of mine to travel to the islands once I graduated. When my last class was over, I closed my books and snatched my bags up hoping Dragon was out front waiting for me. Our flight was due to take off at 8 pm. I really wanted to get to the Airport, at least, an hour or two early being the weather had been crappy all day. All day throughout my classes all, I kept thinking would hurry the hell up and do whatever it was going to do. Because a chick was not trying to see NY for seven days and six nights, we packed our bags the night before and took our traveling clothes out. I smiled as I walked out the doors seeing Dragon sitting at the entrance with his music pumping out his truck.

    “Babe is you ready for the time of your life?” Dragon screamed out the window.

    “Hell Yeah!” I said running over.

     We headed over to his apartment to shower and change before going out to eat. There was no way we were going to fly for 13 and half hours without putting something in our stomachs. Dragon hated hearing me complain about their high ass prices on the plane. Tameka was performing down Montego Bay for Spring break, Dragon and I couldn’t wait to see our girl Live in concert. Tameka was doing her thing and we were damn proud of our girl. She was climbing the charts. She’d make jokes about her being a one hit wonder. Nevertheless, my girl was now three albums in and was at the top of the Billboards.

   We stopped over at Giovanni’s for some pizza on our way to the airport. We arrived at JFK International an hour early only to find out that our flights were delayed due to the rain. Two and a half hours later, we were in the air on our way. We were due to meet Tameka at the Villa Dragon booked for us.  We had all things to celebrate Graduation is coming soon and Dragon and I are still rocking with one another. I was still feeling a bit exhausted when we reached the Villa, as promised Tameka was standing in front of our Villa with two Rum Punches in her hand. We were so jet lag that we all decided to dine in for the evening. Our food was delivered to us we all went out onto the balcony so we could watch the sun set. We laughed and joked for about an hour before Tameka left us for the evening. Right after the door shut behind Tameka, I turned and looked at Dragon.

     “Dragon, baby, would you mind joining me in the shower?” I asked with a smile.

    With no answer, he jumped up and hugged me kissing me on the forehead. He carried me into the bathroom undressing me. We had a joyous night of love making only to wake up to heavy rains and a cancelled concert. We were stuck in the villa for most of our vacation but Dragon and I didn’t mind it at all. Our bond was deep and this was time much needed for us to bond even more.

  Dragon started ringing my cell phone the morning of June 15, 2015

“Hey Babe, how are you feeling this morning?”

Dragon always made sure his voice was the first thing I heard in the morning and the last voice I heard before I closed my eyes. I didn’t mind him being the last voice I heard at night because I damn sure had the wettest dreams ever about his fine ass every night. Now Dragon stood 6’4” with the creamiest chocolate smooth skin. His waves were flawless and fuck a six pack because my babe was rocking an eight pack for days with his buff ass. The thing I fell in love with was his dark brown eyes.

“I’m good Boo, what’s on the agenda for today? Am I anywhere on your schedule?” 

I giggled a little bit because I knew damn well I was going to see my babe. We had just gotten the news about a week ago that I was almost 12 weeks pregnant so we really needed Darrin to give up his stash house so I could be done with his ass. I mean the news scared me a little because I was in my last semester at Berkeley College but at the same time I was excited for the both of us. I knew Dragon and I was going to be together no matter what especially with all the bullshit we’ve been going thru already. Dragons fake ass kids popping up from fake ass baby moms. I heard he had a brother who was a force to reckon with but I hadn’t had a chance to meet him. Darrin stayed talking about him like he was some type of God.

Dragon and I had our first prenatal appointment coming up this afternoon. We figured since I was pregnant we might as well go ahead and get our place now. We were going to wait until I graduated but being as though I was pregnant I needed as much rest as possible when I wasn’t in class. So until we find our home we decided that it would be best for me to move into his apartment. I just finished my internship at Blue Fountain Media. They even extended a job offer to me after I graduated. I had an English Lit class that morning before our appointment. The class seemed longer than normal I figured it was just because I was excited that Dragon and I get to hear the baby heart beat for the first time.

Dragon was due to pick me up by 11:30 am but as always, he was running behind. As I reached for my cell, I could hear tires screeching around the corner and the sounds of our favorite song by Jay z and Beyoncé “On the Run Part II” playing, instantly my attitude went away. Dragon stopped in front of the doors and started whistling at me.

“Hey, there pretty lady was you about to call for a ride?”
