This is what happens the summer after Marcus shot and almost killed Anton in ATL between Rashad and New New. Oneshot.


Cascade, Sunday Night-

It's Sunday night at Cascade's in Mechanicsville, Georgia. I'm just gettin' down with the crew here.. Anton's gettin' his shit together in school. If he keeps it up, he'll be on the honor roll. I'm proud of my little brother. He ain't no dope boy no more. New New's over at Spelman College and my boy Esquire is in the Ivy League. I hope them white boys ain't messin' with him. Teddy done finally graduated from high school. Ain't he about 40 years old now?


Teddy: Fuck you, Rashad. Just tell these people what's up with it now.

Rashad: Alright, man. Get on somewhere! Damn.


Well, anyway. Everybody doin' good and we all here at Cascade's, skating and kickin' it. Then my girl walk in. Goddamn. New New hotter than a pot of neck bones that's been cookin' for about three days and the top 'bout to blow. She walkin' over to me and got a sucker in her mouth.

"What's up, Rashad?" New New asked.

I just sat there, speechless. She had her skates on, but that's not what I was worried about. This girl had on a Catholic school girl outfit. And it's summer. Damn, her body was banging. I remember the necklace. She had one like it-before I found out that her daddy was John Garnett and I got mad as hell. I knew what was coming next.

"Hey, Rashad," a voice trying to sound feminine whispered in my ear. "It's New New, baby."

I turned and seen Brooklyn's crazy ass. This fool from New York. New New came up and gave me a kiss on my cheek. I gave her a kiss back.

"What's up, baby?" I asked. "How was your first year at Spelman?"

"Wishin' you were there." said New New as she gave me another kiss.

Teddy come runnin' up and looked at me and New New all cuddled up.

"Man, y'all need to get a goddamn room." Teddy said with jealousy in his voice.

"You just mad cuz you ain't half the man Rashad is." snapped my baby girl.

I laughed at Teddy. This nigga is a straight-up fool. How old did I say he was? About 50? 70? 120?


Teddy: Again, kiss my ass, Rashad.
So, anyway...I went for the back pocket. You can figure it out for yourself.

"New New..." I started. "You my boo and all, but I wanna be more than that. Why don't we take it to next level?"

New New's eyes got big.

"Rashad, are you saying what I think you're saying?"

"You know what's up, baby," I replied. "Why don't we make this forever and you go ahead and marry me?"

New New jumped up and down with excitement and hugged me tight.

"Yes, Rashad!" she screamed. "I'll be your wife!"

At that moment, I became the happiest brother ever. Everything was perfect. Soon, New New was gonna be my wife...
