“Especially after I told him how stupid that shit was.”
They were in business together and although he didn’t say it to DP, but Sterling thought that this was the kind of thing that you talk over with your partner.
“Not tell him about it after you got your ass kicked,” Sterling told Barnes as he drove. He understood that the actions of one partner affected the other. “And Dee know that shit, ’cause he the one that told me.”
To Sterling, this was the type of thing that tested the limits of both partnerships and friendships. But there was something else that he understood and that was honor and loyalty. And that made him think about one night, a long time ago.
Sterling, DP and three of their men were making a buy from a guy named Skip. Everything was going fine; a little shit was being talked between the two groups, but nothing that was gonna blow things up.
Sterling had just tested the product and nodded at DP. He put the case with the money on the table and that’s when it got wild.
Neither he nor DP knew who shot first, but all of a sudden, guns were out, and bullets were flying everywhere. Sterling shot Skip in the head and DP shot his boy, Reon twice in the chest.
Sterling laughed a little as he remembered watching DP close the case with the money with one hand while blasting away with the other. Sterling turned over the table to give them some cover.
“We gotta get outta here,” DP said to Sterling that night.
“No shit,” Sterling said as he put in another clip.
DP pointed with his gun to the case with the dope. “We need to make a grab for that case.”
“Okay. Cover me,” Sterling said and handed DP his gun.
“You ready?”
“Go,” Sterling said, and DP came up firing with both guns. When he did, Sterling made a grab for the case. “Got it!”
“Good,” DP said as both men put in fresh clips. “Now let’s get outta here.”
They both came up firing and shot their way out of there that night. Once they were out of there, DP and Sterling ran as fast as they could to their car and DP drove them away from there.
It didn’t go the way they planned, but they came away from there with the dope and the money, and they were still alive to talk about it. There was just one thing left to do.
“We need to get rid of these guns,” DP said.
“Roll by the river. I’ll jump out and dump them there,” Sterling said and that was the only reason that he wasn’t in the car with DP when he got arrested. When he got back to the car from dumping the guns, the police had DP on the ground in handcuffs, along with the cases with the drugs and money. DP showed his honor and his loyalty by keeping his mouth shut and never saying a word about who was with him that night.
That ain’t the type of nigga you turn your back on when the shit gets hard, Sterling thought as Barnes pulled up in front of his place and he went inside. “Venus!” he yelled and got no answer.
He took off his coat. “Venus!” he yelled again and this time, Venus came out of the bathroom quickly, tying her robe as she walked.
“What are you yelling for?” she asked.
Sterling kissed her lips. “Thought you didn’t hear me. What was you doing?”
“I was in the bathroom about to take a shower to get ready for tonight,” Venus lied.
She was in the bathroom taking tittie pics and sending them to RJ when he got there. She was glad she got in the shots when she did and didn’t get caught because she really didn’t need Sterling finding out. But not even her fear of getting caught dampened her excitement over seeing RJ. She was wet just thinking about his dick sliding inside of her.
“I’m so excited. I can’t wait to get there.”
Venus had been sexting with RJ all day and planned to fuck him before the show and after; if she was lucky.
“I’ve been thinking about it all day,” Venus said, and that was the truth.
Chapter Four
But RJ was a little busy at the moment. He and Marvin were pinned down behind a car, shooting it out with at least four men. They were seriously out gunned and on top of that, they were running out of bullets.
