When A Thug Loves A Woman (7 page)

“Damn, girl,” I hissed as I pushed Angela’s head further down on my lap.

It was her lunch break and here she was, relieving my stress and reminding why I fucked with her so hard in the first place as she tried to swallow my dick whole. Thanks to China, my stress level had been higher than it needed to be lately because her stupid ass was always doing some fucked up shit.

When she called and told me what the fuck went down
at Kisses, right off bat, I knew her dramatic, shit starting ass was the main culprit. I had never really put my hands on China before but once that I could recall but I tried to knock her fucking block off that night for the simple fact that she was always starting shit and I had already told her about fucking with Choc.

Now I was fucked up because the dingy bitch called herself hiding out and keeping my daughter from me. On top of that, my Choc say she ain't fucking with me because I come with too much drama. I tried to respect her decision for a few days then I said
to hell with that shit. As of today, I was over that bullshit. She was going to talk to me whether she wanted to or not.

“Ah shiiiiit!”

Just like that, Angela’s little freak ass had swallowed a load of my kids.

“I hope that at least helped,” she said as she wiped her mouth.

“Yea, that was exactly what the fuck I needed. Good looking out, ma. Glad you're back,” I half-joked.

“Glad to be back,” she smiled as she fixed her hair and lipstick in the mirror. “Don't forget to talk to Kendal about the money, Casino,” she reminded me.

“I'm already two steps ahead of you. I'm on my way to go rap with him about some shit now and that's definitely going to be one of the topics,” I informed her.

“Alright, call me,” Angela said before going back to work.

After watching her walk back into the building, I was off to go holler at Kendal about his bullshit. Since I knew my baby mama was messy as fuck, I took it upon myself to stop by Kisses to find out what went down myself because I didn't take her word for shit and Choc wouldn't tell me.

Caesar and I were cool so he let me watch the video and of course, nothing went down the way China described it but what I was shocked about was the fact that Kendal was right in the middle of the shit, egging it on. Then Caesar proceeded to tell me that before he could even talk to her and let her know that she wasn't in trouble, Choc decided to quit and leave.

Now here I was, pulling up on this nigga’s street to figure out where he getting these sudden female tendencies from. Before I could even get to Kendal’s house, I spotted an unmarked car parked in front of his house. If I didn't know shit else, I knew a pig when I saw one. Just when I was about to call Kendal and let him know, this muthafucka gets out of the passenger’s side and walks back in his house.

As I watch the car pull off, I was trying to decide if I should run up in the house and kill his ass now or wait until I found out all the facts.
By then, he'll already have crossed me
, I thought as my trigger finger started to twitch. I had to calm myself down because I could have easily been jumping to conclusions, so I decided to call him to see something.

“What up, man?” he answered.

“What up, Ken? Come outside,” I told me him.

“Alright, here I come,” he said before hanging up.

I had to let out a little chuckle because this nigga didn’t even have a trace of nervousness in his voice when he answered the phone and I told him to come out. Not even two minutes ago, his ass was getting out of a police car and now here I was pulling up. I guess the thought of him getting caught didn’t cross his mind or he just didn’t give a fuck.

“You know you just could’ve came in, right?” Kendal asked as he got in the car.

“Nah, it’s cool. It just needed to holler about you about a few things. I don’t plan on being here that long,” I let him know.

“Okay, shoot.”

“Money been coming up missing. You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that, would you?”

“What you mean, money has been missing? All the money we make, I take to Angela for her to put up. So if it’s looking funny, I suggest you look at her ass. I told you before when you stopped fucking her ass in the first place that bitch was moving funny. Especially after you beat her husband ass. I never trusted her ass from the jump anyways,” Kendal accused.

I just sat there looking at his ass because after seeing what I just saw today, I honestly didn’t know if I could believe anything that came out of this nigga’s mouth. It would be just like his ass to try to put it on somebody else. There would be no reason for Angela to steal money from me when I paid her ass a good amount of money just to be my damn accountant and to fuck or suck me occasionally. I gave her an option to quit when that shit when down with her husband but she decided to stay on her own and not once did she act like she gave a fuck about it, so I highly doubted she would steal on some vengeful shit.

“Yea, alright. On another note, what happened at Kisses?” I switched subjects to my other reason for being there.

“Mannnn,” he laughed like that shit was the funniest thing of the year. “China was being China, of course, but Bambi…that damn Bambi surprised me. I honestly didn’t know she had it in her. You had to be there, though, dog. That shit was hilarious,” he continued to laugh.

I had to bite my lip to keep from socking this nigga in his fucking jaw.

“Oh, so you really do think that shit was funny? No wonder your ass was right in the middle of that shit. Let me tell you something, Ken. The shit you did was some female shit. As a grown ass man, you were supposed to shut that shit down
immediately
. Ain’t no way in hell that shit should have even been able to escalate to that level, period. The moment you seen China heading in Bambi’s direction, you should have rerouted her ass or sent her the fuck home.”

“Are you serious right now, Casino? China don’t listen, so that shit wouldn’t have worked,” his weak ass said.

“Then nigga, call me! What the fuck is you saying? You sat right there laughing at her stupid ass antics, egging her on and cheering her on, acting like a fucking bitch. Did you have your fucking thong on that night, too, nigga? You just as fucking messy as her and her ugly ass sister! Ain’t shit cute about having grown ass woman fighting and I’m happy Bambi had enough restraint not to fuck her
and
you up!”

This nigga was sounding so fucking stupid right now that I was starting to wonder if he was high or something.

“Man, get out. I got shit to do,” I told him pissed off.

I was daring his ass to say some slick shit as he got out of my shit because I was really wanting to go in his shit right now. I couldn’t wait to tell Canaan about the shit I was finding out about this nigga. I’m happy my brother ain’t the type to say
I told you so
even though I probably needed to hear it. I was definitely going to have to keep my eyes on Kendal because his ass was moving funny.

“Why are you here?”

“Damn, Choc, you don’t miss me? I miss you,” I told her as I licked my lips.

She just stood there looking at me with a frown on her face and her arms folded over her chest as she blocked me from coming in her house. Little did her evil ass know, she wasn’t doing shit but turning me on and making me want to fuck all the attitude out of her short ass.

“Bye, Casino,” she said as she tried to shut the door.

I stopped it with my foot and she continued to try to shut it but she was no match for my strength so she had no choice but to finally give in. She huffed and rolled her eyes while walking away. I shut the door and followed her

“Where little mama?” I asked her.

She ignored me and continued to keep walking. Before she could reach the living room, I pulled her back by her wrist and pinned her up against the wall. She tried to say something but I kissed her to shut up whatever smart shit she was about to let fly out of her mouth.

“What the fuck did I tell you about that attitude shit?” I said as my lips brushed up against hers. “I’m not fucking playing with you!”

“What do you want from me?” she asked softly.

“Your heart, your mind, your body, your soul…everything.”

Choc just looked down, sighed and shook her head. “You're not ready for me, Casino. I—”

“But I am, though,” I cut her off while lifting her head up.

“Listen, let me explain. You're not ready for me because you clearly have unfinished business with your daughter's mother or else she wouldn't be acting the way she does, unless you're giving her a reason to. I'm not the one for the games, Casino. I damn near fucked that girl up and it wasn't easy for me to restrain myself. So, if you're going to continue to play games with her and fuck her, then you don't need me because I can't do shit for you. I'm not above catching a case if you fuck me over,” she told me straight up.

The fact that she’d just low-key threatened me did something to me. I usually didn't let people get away with threatening me but she just turned me on and I thought it was sexy as fuck coming from her.

“I'm not fucking China,” I lied. “We haven't been together since Casiyah was born and the only reason she acts like that is because she thinks us sharing a daughter means she has papers on me but I don’t want that damn girl. You gotta give me a chance to prove myself, Choc. I would never go this hard to get you if I didn't really want you and had intentions on playing with you. That's some shit I'm not going to do.”

Choc bit her lip and looked at me like she was contemplating everything I’d said. This girl was crazy as fuck if she thought I was going to let her get away from me off the strength of China or anyone else. It wasn't shit like a good girl who wasn't with the drama, all about her money, a hard worker, and cool as fuck. If I would've met her first, I wouldn't have given China's ass a second look.

“Come on, baby. You know you want to,” I told her.

She laughed and rolled her eyes at me. “You got one time to fuck up, Casino, and I promise, I'm done,” she told me.

“Ain't no fucking up, girl, but come here. We gotta seal the deal with a kiss.” I smiled.

Just like that, I had the girl I wanted and everything thing seemed to be going good in a nigga's life, besides the fact that I found out that my so-called friend could be a snake and my dumb ass baby mama wouldn't let me see my daughter. That was cool, though, because I had something for the both of their asses.

“I'm sorry, ma'am, but your card was declined.”

I cranked my head to look at her like she was stupid because I knew I had just heard her wrong. There was no way in hell that my card was declined when it had over twenty gees on it, that I know for sure because Casino put money on the card faithfully. So I knew she just didn't know what the fuck she was doing.

“Nah, homegirl. Swipe that again, there's money on there,” I told her.

She looked at me like she wanted to object but the look I gave her told her not to try me. I didn't want to have to act a damn fool up in Nordstrom today but I would if I had to.

“Like I said, it's saying it's declined,” she said smartly.

“You know what…” I had to stop and calm myself down. “Hold up, let me call and see what the problem is!” I rolled my eyes at her as I pulled my phone out to call Casino. I really didn't want to talk to his stupid ass right now since he wanted to be on some other shit but this was an emergency.

“Yea, what's up?” he answered.

Even though I was pissed at him, his sexy smooth voice still made my kitty jump. “Casino, something is wrong with my card. I'm trying to use it and it keeps saying that it's declined, so can you see—”

“Ain't shit wrong with it, I cut it off,” he said.

“You did what?!” I yelled, causing everyone in the store to look at me like I was crazy. “Casino, why the fuck would you do some shit like that?”

“Why the fuck would you not allow me to see my daughter, China?” he threw back at me.

“Nigga, are you serious right now? I told you that bitch attacked me and you automatically jumped on the Bambi bandwagon, thinking I started that shit, putting your hands on me! You damn right you can't see my daughter anytime you'll put another bitch before us!” I yelled.

I couldn't believe Casino right now. This Bambi bitch had my baby daddy going against the fucking grain. Not only had Casino put his hands on me over her ass but he actually had the nerve to stick up and go hard for her. Now he was cutting off my cards and shit for no fucking reason.

“Yea, alright, China. I'm not going to argue with you about this shit. Until you allow me to see my daughter, you're cut the fuck off and I mean that shit. You better get off your lazy, trifling ass and get a job because I'm not giving you no more money. That means for the bills, either.”

“You got me all the way fucked up, Casimir! Don't forget who the fuck you're talking to. I have so much dirt on your ass, I can bury you alive. Fucking with me, you'll never see Casiyah or the light of day again!” I told him before hanging up.

It wasn't until I hung up that I realized that I’d probably said too much. I knew better than anyone than to threaten Casino, especially when it came to his daughter or freedom and I had just did the ultimate by threatening both in one breath.

My hands shook with fear as my phone rang and I saw that it was him calling back. I had a mind not to answer it and turn my phone off but I knew that would only make it worse.

“Casino, I'm sorry. I didn’t mean—”

“Bitch, if you ever threaten me like that again, a dive team will be fishing your body parts out of the fucking Detroit River. Do you understand me?” he said in a quiet but yet menacing tone.

I nodded my head before realizing he couldn't see me. I swallowed the lump in my throat before I could verbally answer him. “Yes,” I said just above a whisper.

“Now, my daughter be at my mama's house within the next hour. Try me if you think I'm playing,” he said before hanging up.

I wasted no time heading out of Nordstrom to do as he said.

“I guess you don’t want these after all!” the lady said.

I glanced behind me at the smug look on her face and it was then that I realized I had drawn an audience. At this point, I really didn't give a damn because my fear of Casino trumped any other emotions I may have been feeling.
