Huey woke up a little sore the next day. It had been so long since he had to go into his full 'kill mode' so his body was feeling it.
'I have to start working out more.' He lectured himself as he rolled his shoulder in circles. He checked the time and saw he had two hours to take Jazmine... somewhere. He had no idea where. 'Why would I drag myself into this?' He questioned himself and ran a hand through his face and unpicked hair.
He swung his legs out his bed and went straight to his work out room. There was a black punching bag on the side of the mats so he went there first. He stepped in front of it and got into his stance and focused on one spot. Everything was still.
Seconds later, he exploded into trained punches and kicks. He only had on tracksuit bottoms so anyone there would see the tightening of his biceps and triceps as he flexed and relaxed after each extension of the arm that made contact with the bag. His body slowly began to gloss in sweat as he did quick movements.
Left. Right. Right. Uppercut. Elbow. High kick.
Huey delivered random sequences to build his strength and skill up. The years of training helped him be as powerful as he was today. He has never lost a fight since he was 8 and he wasn't planning on looking back.
He stayed at the bag for another 10 minutes, practiced movements with his favourite katana on the mat and did some weights. He did this all for a good 40 minutes which was something he needed. Covered in sweat, he took a much needed shower to get himself fresh and clean.
Once he stepped on the shower, he threw on a red t-shirt with a panther on the front, black jeans and some black Tims. He still had a good hour before he went for Jazmine so decided to do his round of business in hopes that less people would bother him throughout the day but he knew that was near to impossible. For some reason, he knew today was going to be a crazy day, making him think if he should cancel his plans with Jazmine. However, he couldn't bring himself to.
'I guess I just got to find a way around it.' He sighed before pulling out his phone to make various calls.
Jazmine Dubois was currently sitting on her bed in only a towel from being fresh out of the shower. She was staring at her phone contemplating about how she should reply to the text hovering on her screen.
Jayden: Hey JD, I really hope we can catch up soon! I really do miss you. You were that girl back in high school, I bet you're still holding that down now here in Chicago. I know you have your grand opening tomorrow night but I don't know if I am able to go, you probably wouldn't want to see me there anyway. It's early and you might still be sleeping since I saw on your snapchat (sound like a stalker, sorry) that you and the girls had a long day but just let me know if you're available tomorrow afternoon. I would love to take you out to lunch. Later JD. ~wink emoji~ ~heart emoji~
Jazmine sighed thinking about what to do. She had no idea. Jayden was such a sweet boy well man now but things with Huey was about to get very interesting. The kiss and the phone call were nothing she had experience before. Jayden didn't take charge the way Huey did and she didn't know how to feel about it, it was all exciting to her. The idea of being with a drug dealer was thrilling and butterflies was flying in her stomach.
Another text popped up.
Huey: I'll see you in an hour.
Plain and simple. He didn't tell her where they were going, how she would dress, nothing. She decided to settle on some black ripped jeans, yellow vans and a black crop top. Her hair was pulled into two afro puffs and two strands of curls were on the side of her face.
Just as she finished apply her lip gloss there was a knock at the door.
"Come in!" She called out.
In walked in Royalty who looked just as much ready to leave out herself. She had on black leggings, an oversized white t-shirt and white Air Max's.
"So, where you off to?" Jazmine asked with a smirk, already having a feeling what she was going to say.
Royalty innocently swung her leg. "You know just... some normal things."
"Normal things? Really? You gotta come better than that." Jazmine raised an eyebrow to her friend.
"Fine... you know Marcus?"
"Dark skin, fine as fuck, tall with the cornrows Marcus?" Jazmine clarified.
"Yeah him. He's taking me out for lunch."
Jazmine looked at her shocked. "But what about Riley? Aren't you two doing a thing with each other?"
Royalty flopped onto Jazmine's bed, careful to not crush her 26-inch, pitch black, straight wig. "Yes but we're just sleeping together, I doubt it's going to lead onto anything serious. He doesn't seem like he wants to have an actual relationship." She shrugged.
"Have you asked him?"
"No."
"Then how do you know? He might change." She reasoned.
"Well, I guess I'm gonna have to see how he changes. If he ever does. As of now, I shall go and get my free food." Royalty smirked.
"Wow. You're so trash!" Jazmine called out as she watched Royalty walk away.
"Learned it from your ass bitch!" Was the reply she got.
Jazmine shook her head; she didn't blame her for thinking that way so she didn't say much on it. Royalty was a grown woman and could make her own decision, Jazmine wasn't going to judge her for that.
"Jazzy! Your man is here!" She heard Cindy scream from downstairs.
Jazmine's eyes grew wide as she saw he was early.
'Why you worried? You're ready anyway.' She scowled herself.
"Coming!" She replied. She grabbed her yellow shoulder purse and skipped down the stairs. "Hey Huey!" She smiled. Jazmine took a good look at him and made the conscious decision to say this man never had an off day.
"Jazmine." He greeted. Huey looked at the woman in front of him knew she could do no wrong.
"Have fun." Cindy smirked as she pushed the two out the door.
"Cindy!" She screamed as the door shut behind her. "Have I mentioned my friends are annoying?" She said to Huey as they made their way down the steps.
He smirked. "I may have heard you comment on it a few times." He walked in front of her so he could open the door for her.
"I guess chivalry isn't dead." She laughed as she stepped into his car.
The first few minutes of the car ride was silent and Jazmine was dying to find out where they were going.
"Huey."
"Jazmine."
"Where we going?" She asked curiously.
Huey took a quick look at her spotless face. "Some where." He smirked.
"And that somewhere?"
"Don't worry." The smirk still didn't leave his face as he continued to drive. Jazmine sighed in frustration which quickly turned into an uneasy look as another message popped up on her phone.
Jayden: Hey JD, sorry if I seemed a bit forward earlier but I still hope I can take you out today maybe?
Huey saw her sudden change of face. "Who's that?" He asked as her fingers are hover over her keyboard.
"Just the guy you saw at the club before you, uh, pulled me away." Jazmine got quick flashbacks to when they were back at Empire making out, before Raven came in. The small smirk that grew on his face showed that he was remembering too. "He's an ex but that was in high school so whatever was there is dead." She, for some reason, felt as if she needed to reassure him once again that she was completely available.
"Good to know." He nodded as he continued to drive who knows where. He was just going to see where the wind took him.
"I guess Raven wants to slit my throat even more now." Jazmine joked but was 95% serious. She may act tough but Jazmine honestly knew Raven could cause serious harm within seconds. The girl was in a gang with Huey and everyone knew they could all fight.
"No actually." Jazmine's eyes grew wide. "She said she knew she was out of line and all that. She just wasn't used to all four of us but mostly me, being into any girl like I have with you. Doing funeral arrangements for her cousin brought out an angry side of her. Raven was just making sure you weren't trying to fuck everyone over and mess up what we have worked so hard to keep. So, you don't need to worry about your throat being slit." Huey explained.
Jazmine sat there shocked. She thought that Raven would keep a grudge as she seemed like a girl who would.
"Are you sure she was being serious?" Jazmine gave him a questioning look.
"Yes Jazmine. Now-" Huey started but was cut off by his phone ringing. "Fuck." He said as he saw the name pop up.
"I don't want you to be pulled over for being on your phone. I will just stay quiet; they won't even know I am here." Jazmine sent him a reassuring smiling. Huey took a glance over to her before answered the phone.
"Yo." Huey answered. Jazmine saw his face screw up and knew he was ready to take in every word which made her believe it was 'business'.
"Ay yo Ghost. No one can drop that package off." The person named 'CJ' replied.
"What do you mean no one can do it? That's why I have three of you niggas to do that shit." Huey eyebrows were practically running away from his hairline from how deep his scowl was.
"I know man. I gotta get my daughter from school 'coz she sick, Ray Ray is with is mama and May is helping Alex with some shit."
"Fuck..." Huey sighed as he pulled over into a random parking lot. "Don't worry, I'll get it done."
"Are you sure boss? I know you haven't done it in a minute." CJ replied shocked.
"Yes, nigga don't worry. I'll get it sorted. Go get your daughter." Huey rubbed his forehead in annoyance. He couldn't blame them for having things to do but at all times it could have happened, it happened when he was with Jazmine. He uplifted her from her house last minute and now he couldn't take her to where ever he was going to end up. "I'm sorry Jazmine, I know you was looking forward to today but I got some shit to handle. I will drop you at your house first."
"No."
Hearing this, Huey turned towards her neutral facial expression and for the first time, it was hard for him to read.
"Where do you want me to drop you then?" Huey asked, generally confused but open to ideas.
"I'm coming with you. You said you were going to take me somewhere so forget your last plan and let's do this. It sounded very important so I don't want you wasting any time bringing me home so drive." Jazmine innocently smiled at him.
"Jazmine. This isn't just some normal job I'm doing. Remember I run a whole gang, nothing I do is pretty." Huey tried to explain to her as best he could without offending her.
Jazmine rolled her eyes. "Huey. I will be a good girl and listen to what you say and stay out of the way when I need to. I won't touch anything and plus, I want to see who Ghost is. You have seen who Emerald is, it's mine time to see your other person."
Huey sighed and thought of it for a second. She didn't say much but for some reason, it was very convincing. "Fine. Just listen to me, I don't want you to get hurt."
"Yaay!" Jazmine cheered and clapped as he drove back onto the main road. This time, he was driving faster than usual. She decided to turn on the radio and it didn't take long for her to find a good station. Chris Brown ft H.E.R - Come Together began to play as they drove down the streets. The smooth song put the two in tranquillity, which Huey was shocked that he felt himself actually listening to the song since he was very picky on his music choice.
Just like their date, Jazmine pulled out her phone to go on snapchat which was the perfect time for when the chorus rolled back around.
"And I want you babe. Ooh, I can't lie. And I want you babe. If we could, then we should just come together babe." Jazmine softly sang along. At some point, she managed to put the camera on Huey without him realising. After a few other poses, she stopped recording, added a caption and posted it to her story, happy about the content.
Another 10 minutes passed and Jazmine realised the change of scenery. The area was now deserted and quiet with little to no one around. That's when a tall dark building came into view.
"Woah..." She whispered as she looked at it. It was a warehouse but it looked terrible.
'Is it supposed to look this bad?' She thought.
"Inside looks better." Huey smirked as he took the keys out of the ignition.
"I'm sure it is." She cheekily stuck out her tongue, making Huey shake his head at her childish ways.
"Stay close." He told her as they walked towards the door. Huey knocked. "Open."
And just like that, it opened.
"How did he know...?" She pointed confused, as they walked inside. She didn't even see the guy behind the doors shocked look as he laid eyes on her.
"Everyone knows my voice by now."
"But your ass doesn't talk." She lightly shoved him.
"Funny Jazmine. Come on." He said quickly as they were walking past a main room where a few of his people were sitting. Huey hoped they wouldn't notice him but they did.
"Wait, is that Ghost? With a girl!"
"Oh shit! That nigga crazy."
"Damn she fine."
"That ass doe."
"I guess we shouldn't disturb him for a good hour."
Were just a few comments they unfortunately had to hear. Jazmine found it hilarious but Huey found it embarrassing that his members were acting like they have never seen a girl before.
"Ignore them." Huey told her as he reached out to grab her hand and pull her to another room which just made the comments grow in volume.
"Aww I wanna say hi. They sound fun." Jazmine exaggeratedly frowned.
"I would prefer you not."
Huey opened up a door and instantly Jazmine was shocked. Hiro was there with stacks of money counting it all. She hasn't even seen this much money at a good night at the club.
"Hi Hiro." She waved.
He had to do a double take when he saw an even larger afro pop into the room.
"Jazmine? What are you doing here?" He asked as he looked between Huey who wasn't paying any attention and collected the bags he needed.
"Oh yeah know. Doing a ride along." She innocently said as she walked over to the table full of money.
"Ride along? Damn Huey." Hiro saw Huey pick up the four bags of cocaine and was confused to why he had it. "Where you taking it?" He asked.
"To the drop off. The others couldn't do."
"Strange... Alright. Later."
Huey nodded Hiro's way and made his way straight out the warehouse with Jazmine trailing along.
"You want me to hold one of the bags?" Jazmine asked.
"No, I'm fine."
"You sure?"
"Very. I don't want you to be carrying this shit anyway." He told her as he loaded up the car, they got back in and began to drive.
"What's in the bag and where are we going?" She asked curiously.
Huey took a quick look over at her. "You don't wanna know."
"You know, I really do. I have a very curious mind. I get that from my mother. Plus, I wanna know what 'Ghost' is up to."
He sighed before answering her. "It's cocaine. We don't sell it; we just stole it and I am dropping it somewhere so that it doesn't get out on my streets."
She raised an eyebrow. "Your streets? Damn Huey, cocky much." She snorted. She didn't even pay attention to what was in the bag, much to Huey's surprise.
She just got a smirk as a reply.
Not far, Royalty was enjoying her Oreo milkshake as she strolled her way outside the mall.
"You enjoying that shit ain't you." Marcus said next to her.
Royalty jumped as she heard talking. She was confused about what he was talking about but then looked down to the item in her hand.
"Oh yeah. It's my favourite flavour." She laughed lightly.
They walked the rest of the way in silence. It wasn't that he was a bad guy. He was amazing but for some reason she just couldn't connect with him like she expected herself to.
"Where to now?" She asked him.
"Well I was thinking-"
"Ay yo Royalty! You don't see a nigga here!" She heard her name being called and turned to see Riley sitting on a bench with four other men.
"Riley? What are you doing here?" She asked, instantly forgetting who she was with.
"Girl this just one of my spots. Whatchu doing here?" He looked her up and down and still thought she was fine in such a simple outfit.
"Uhh-"
"She with me cuz." Marcus spoke up reminding Royalty that she was out with someone.
Riley looked at the man standing behind her and his eyebrows screwed together. "And who the fuck is you?"
"Riley." Royalty gave him a look that said 'don't start some shit'.
"Marcus nigga."
"Ok Marcus nigga. What you doing with my girl here?" Riley stepped up to him completely ignoring her now.
"Last I heard, she don't have no man so I don't know what you're talking about." Marcus shrugged and stepped up to Riley. Instantly, his people jumped up too.
Riley held his hand to tell them to relax which they listened to. "Surprise you don't know me. Thought she might have slipped up and moaned my name instead." Riley smirked as he saw that he hit a nerve.
Royalty knew it was time to jump in. "Marcus. I will meet you at the car." He looked at her as if she was crazy. "Trust me. Just go."
Marcus slowly backed away while nodding his head. "Ite." He said quietly before turning and walking to his car.
Royalty turned back to Riley and punched him in the arm making him flinch in contact.
"What is wrong with you? Telling niggas we fucked."
"Fucking. Present tense nigga."
Royalty squinted up her eyes and held out her hands as if she was going to strangle him. "Ugh. You're so annoying. I will see you later boy."
"Boy? I am a grown ass man and I will see that fine ass of yours tonight." Riley smirked as he looked Royalty up and down seductively. Royalty felt tingles in her stomach but ignored it. Instead she turned around and stomped away from him.
"Damn Reezy! You fucked that? You one lucky motherfucker." One of the guys said behind him as he didn't turn his eyes away from her shrinking silhouette.
"Trust me nigga. I know." Riley smirked but remembered what they were doing there. "Hold up. You all just going to sit there like bitches in my business, go sell some shit man!" He lectured them. They all began to curse Riley but listened to what he said and got up.
Riley smiled to himself as he thought about how he was going to make sure Marcus didn't look her way again. Just give him a minute.
Back with Huey and Jazmine, the two sat in a comfortable silence. Jazmine was thinking of how Huey might have gotten so many bags of drugs. Where was it going to go after he dropped it? Who were they giving it to? So many questions and hopefully it would be answered soon.
"I'm here. You can come now." Huey had stopped across the street from a police station, much to the Jazmine's surprise. This is the last place she expected Huey to be.
"Why are we here?" She asked nervously.
"Drop off." He simply replied.
A small man jogged across the street towards the car. Jazmine knew he was a police officer by the shiny badge on his hip, as well as the gun. He smiled and held his arms out in greeting.
"Well if it isn't my nigga Ghost. It's been a minute since I have seen you." They heard him say since the window was done.
"Yeah man. I got the shit in the back." Huey told him. "Wait here." He told Jazmine and she nodded in response.
Huey walked to the back of his shiny, black Mercedes and opened the trunk.
"Damn nigga. Where the fuck you get all this product from?" The officer asked Huey.
"Dre, you know the deal. I give, you don't ask. Just take the shit, I got places to be." Huey rolled his eyes making Jazmine giggle as she watched the interaction through the rear-view mirror.
"Yeah yeah I know. I see you got a pretty lady in the front. Hey pretty lady! I hope Huey is treating you right!" He directed to her. She let out another giggle before turning around to face him.
"Don't worry! He is." The two exchanged a quick smile before Huey abruptly closed the trunk.
"Later Dre." Huey said his goodbyes before jumping in the car and driving away, leaving the man with heavy bags to carry to where ever he was going next.
"Huey." Jazmine said sternly. She crossed her arms across her chest. She took a quick look outside and saw they were coming up to his house.
"What?" He raised an eyebrow at her looking sternly at him.
"You just drove off so rudely. He was just trying to help you."
"And he did. We didn't need to stay any longer and you're with me, I didn't want to keep you there any longer than we needed to." Huey explained to her.
"Well what we gonna do at your place?" She asked.
Huey smirked at her. "I may have an idea..."
40 minutes later
"I... am so fucking high..."
The two were currently lying on the floor, staring up at the ceiling. Huey had gotten some weed from Caesar but this time, he gave Huey something extra to make sure he gets high which worked perfectly. They both were as high as Snoop and didn't know how long it would take them to come back down. They sat there for a good 20 minutes in silences, just looking up.
"Bro... what the fuck did Michael give me?" Huey questioned to no one in particular.
Jazmine slowly turned her head to Huey. "What? Since when did he have two names?"
"Jazmine, you knew that from when we introduced each other in the office."
Realisation dawned on her. "Ooohh yeaaaaahh." She began to giggle to herself. "You got food?"
"Maybe..." He replied slowly.
"Ok..." Jazmine replied but she still never made no move to get it.
"Are you not going to raid my kitchen?" He asked her.
"Oh yeah..." She giggled once again. She was a happy high, Huey was a calm high but now, she got the munchies. Using Huey's body as support, she slowly raised herself up to walk into his small kitchen to look for his snacks.
"Damn nigga you barley have shit in here. Don't you motherfucking eat? Damn bitch!" Yeah, she becomes a potty mouth too. "Hmm Sour Patch Kids..." She hummed before grabbing the unopened packet.
"Ha, you sound like Homer." Huey smirked.
"Shut up." She kicked him lightly before joining him back on the floor.
"If you lie down, you might choke."
"Damn nigga, you're ruining my high." Jazmine kicked him again.
"I have never heard you say nigga and that is very weird."
"I know, I get like that sometimes. Don't really like to use it. Anyway, shut up and eat this." Jazmine reached over and forced four into his mouth much to his shock. "Take that."
"You're crazy." He mumbled as he began to chew the contents in his mouth.
"I thought you liked crazy?"
"I don't remember saying that."
"Well I'm saying it now." Jazmine rolled over and threw her leg across his waist. "Grand opening today. You excited?" He shrugged in response. "Well I am. I know you're going to love what I got going on." She smirked up at him. Huey closed his eyes but Jazmine was not going to let him fall asleep on her. "You are not falling asleep on me." She whispered.
Jazmine boldly moved to straddle Huey which made his eyes instantly pop open in shock.
"Jazmine..." He groaned as she slowly rocked her hips against his.
"I see I got your attention now..." She smirked. She always knew how to get male attention when she wanted to.
Huey smirked too. "From the moment I've met you, you have always had it."
He moved his hands so that it rested on her thighs on either side of him.
"To believe that just over a week ago, I didn't even know you. Now, I am here on your lap and I am loving every second of it."
"So, are you just going to sit there or are you going to do something while you're up there."
Jazmine giggled but shook her head. "I'm gonna beat you up one day." She leaned forward and connected her lips to Huey's. They were both still high but all the feelings now were just what they would do if they weren't.
Huey decided to sit up so Jazmine didn't have to strain his neck but not once did their lips pull apart. The kiss was fiery and addictive. Jazmine moved her arms around his neck and pulled him in even closer.
"You so damn fine." Huey mumbled. Jazmine (still on her high) found it hilarious for some reason and began to giggle uncontrollably. Huey rolled his eyes at her giggling as they now were no longer locking lips.
"I'm sorry. I don't know why I started laughing." She leaned her head back in laughter.
"Then stop laughing and kiss me."
The two smirked at each other once again before continuing to make out. Huey didn't find his position on the floor comfortable so he lift himself and Jazmine up from the floor.
"Ah! Huey!" Jazmine broke away in surprise as he managed to stand while holding her.
As he rested on his feet, the lips connected again and they continued their little make out.
