Chapter 4 : Summer Nights
Huey's POV
I awoke early the next morning. Riley & Caeser let me crash with them. These niggas had girls everywhere last night. I couldn't take part because well, I'm faithful. Jazmine is one of the most breathtaking girls on any campus, right along with Cindy.
I got up off the sofa and walked to the kitchen. The cabinets were filled with junk food. Just looking at all of it made my teeth hurt. Opening the freezer, I yanked sausage patties and frozen waffle from the side holders.
I searched for the frying pan until a voice stopped me. "Nigga it's in the top cabinet." Riley said,groggy. Apparently I had been making a lot of noise and awoken Riley. He sat on the sofa and turned the television on.
"I hope you're making enough for everybody" He stated, smirking. I placed the frying pan on the stove eye. The sausage sizzled as I dropped them on the pan. Riley walked into the kitchen and stood beside me, eyeing me up and down.
"What's it like at Syracuse?" He asked. "It's nice" I replied. "I know it's hella bitches there" He declared. "If I went there every one of em would know Young Reezy" "Did you fuck any of em?" He asked.
"Nah man, I'm with Jazmine" I replied. "Aw, NIGGA YOU GAY" He shouted. I pushed him into the counter with my off hand. He retaliated by hitting me with the palm of his hand.
"We ain't lil no mo, bitch!" He yelled. I stopped what I was doing. I grabbed Riley and put him in a headlock. He tried squirming out of it but I had him locked down. He began choking and spitting out his words. "O-ok I quit!" He wheezed. I let him go and tripped him on his way down. He laid on the floor gasping for air and holding his chest. He was having a heart attack.
"Oh shit, Riley!" I sprinted to the sofa to get my phone. I retrieved it from under the couch. I turned to aid Riley but was met by a hard hook. I stumbled backwards and Riley jolted towards me. I ducked under him. I was able to scoop him and body slam him onto the floor. He hit his head first. Just as I was about to punch him the door flew open.
Cindy's POV
I opened the door to see these two niggas fighting. "Y'all gay" I said, entering. "How y'all just gon leave the door open? What if I was a booty warrior" Riley turned his face up at my comment. I hit a nerve when I said that.
I sat on the couch, snickering. "Y'all know what day it is, right?" I asked. Riley & Huey looked at me quizzically. "July 3rd, you asses." "Ohhh, what we doing toma, Huey?" Riley asked. Huey just shrugged his shoulders.
Suddenly, smoke filled my nostrils. "OH SHIT!" Huey shouted, sprinting towards the kitchen. He flipped the sausage over to see that they were burnt to a crisp. "Goddamit, Riley!" Huey shot Riley a murderous glance.
"Not my fault, yo fault for being a fag" Riley retorted, sitting down next to me. He began rubbing my thigh up and down as he spoke. "So what y'all wanna do toma?" He asked me . I could feel my cheeks turning bright crimson. Riley noticed this and leaned in.
I shut my eyes, waiting for the kiss but it never came. Riley stood up from the couch, smirking as he walked to the bathroom. "Gotta brush my teeth first." He stated, snickering. I leaned back into the couch, rolling my eyes. Huey looked on from the kitchen.
"Did I miss something?" He asked. "Nah" I replied. Huey just tilted his head and raised one eyebrow. "If you say so." I got up from the couch and started to the door. "I'll see you niggas later" I said, exiting. "Don't forget to lock the door."
Caeser's POV
"Hmm, Fire&Ice, Ecstacy..." I mumbled to myself, rubbing my chin hair. I stood in the middle of the aisle at Walmart. "I'll just take both" I grabbed the large packages of condoms and strutted to the register.
The line was long, so I went through the self-check. As I was walking out, I couldn't help but notice the Six Flags Chicago sign. They would be hosting a Fourth Of July firework ceremony tomorrow night.
It would be cool to go with the gang. I strolled back to Jazmine & Cindy's dorm room. Once there I knocked on the door. I was surprised to see Jazmine and vice versa. I was expecting Cindy to open the door.
"Ohh, hey Ceez" She giggled,nervously. "Umm Jazmine I was thinking we should leave today for Chicago so we could celebrate the 4th tomorrow night" I replied. "That sounds cool, what time you're trying to leave?" She asked.
"Around 6:30?" I said. "Sounds good" Jazmine responded. I left and walked out the dorm building. Damn, Jazmine has matured so, so well. But, that was boy Huey, at least for now.
On the way back to our room I couldn't get her out of my head. She was breathtaking. I damnear ran into the door on my way home. I opened up the door using my keys. "What you fags doing in here" I said, smirking.
"We tryna find some shit to do!" Riley shouted. "How about you help us nigga." "Well... How about we head over to Chicago tonight? I booked the hotel downtown & everythang" I stated. "Shit I'm in!" Riley replied.
Huey walked into the living room scratching his head. "Tonight?" He asked. "Naw nigga next week! Get ready" I demanded. Huey shot me a glare and went back into the room. I explained to Riley how we were leaving at 6:30 and how important it was for him to get ready.
He needed extra attention. I took my phone out to text Hiro the details. We needed him to bring that Hummer from his cousin's dealership. Once I texted him I put my phone down and proceeded to pack.
Hiro's POV
"So ya know I'm good friends with Riley & Caeser.." I told the girls. We were sitting in the park of the university. "But you know, you gotta be checked out by me first if you even wanna meet them."
They looked at me and blushed. I had em right where I wanted them. Then my phone vibrated. It was a text from Caeser.
Caeser : Aye man we goin to Chicago tonight around 6:30 so pack and get that truck from your cousin.
I looked at my rolex. 4:22. Dammit Caeser.
Hiro : Ight man we gon turnup the Chi tonight!
"Girls I gotta go, but I'll see you when I get back" I said, winking at them. They smiled hard as I sprinted across the university down to the dealership my cousin owned.
I loved crossing busy streets because I would move really slow. I was doing my usual thing when an old man rolled his window down.
"MOVE YA PUSSY" he demanded. I turned and flipped him off. He was about to say something when I darted across the street.
I walked in the dealership. Everybody knew who I was. Including his sexy ass secretary, Carmela. She wore glasses that made her even more sexy. I strolled to the front desk.
"Can I help you, Hiro?" She asked, annoyed. "Yes you can, yes you can" I said raising a eyebrow. Just as I said this, my cousin revealed himself. "Hiro" He shouted. "What you need man?" "I need that black Hummer over there" I pointed out the window. He looked and gave me a nod.
As we walked out the back onto the lot I turned to his secretary. I gave her the phone gesture and whispered .. "Call me.." She rolled her eyes and got back to work. Yeah, she wants me.
"So how ya been?" He asked. "Good ya know, same ol, same ol." I replied. His tone turned serious. "Hiro don't mess this damn truck up, ya hear me?" He shot me a murderous glance. But I wasn't afraid of him, we weren't little anymore. I snatched the keys from his hand and climbed into the driver's seat. "I'll try.." I snickered. "Aye man I'm not bullshitting, I'll whoop your ass!" He shouted. I gave him the middle finger and kept on rolling.
Jazmine's POV
It was 6:24. We sat in Caeser's living room, annoyed. "Yo where the fuck is this nigga?" Caeser shouted.
I couldn't take my eyes off Caeser. With his dark chocolate complexion, his strong arms, his pretty smile... Woah!
Caeser and I were just friends. Plus I had Huey, who is the love of my life. I brushed the thoughts about Caeser out of my head. But I knew they wouldn't be gone for long. I needed Huey to do something that would make me forget about Caeser, if you know what I mean. But I don't want to ask him and sound like a hoe. I guess we'll see how this pans out.
We were all frustrated with Hiro. Huey began to sweat and rub his forehead. God, he was sexy. I sat closer and rubbed his hand before out fingers were entangled. All of a sudden we heard a loud noise.
Riley ran ran to the window and looked out the front. "ITS HIRO!" He shouted. Everyone grabbed their bags and rushed outside. Once outside we all piled into the large Hummer.
Hiro gave Caeser a smug smirk. "6:30 on the dot." He said, arms crossed. "Who said I wasn't the man?" Caeser gave him some dap and hopped in the passenger seat. Hiro placed his sunglasses on and looked at us through the rear view mirror. "Time for takeoff" He declared.
