JuJu
(Two Weeks Later)
Thanksgiving was two days away and everyone had been doing a good job with pitching in. My Auntie Lil Mama was having a small dinner party at her place. It was definitely time to turn up!
Jaw and Poohman’s spots were really doing big things. We didn’t have to hit a bank for a while. Today I was supposed to meet up with Tiki and her boo thang to see what was going on with the investigation.
“Jaw, why you over there looking all ugly and shit? I gotta go holla at Tiki. Wanna joyride?”
He just looked at me with a look of pure disgust. “Who the fuck is Slim?”
“Huh?”
Aww shit! It was a boy from school. I had accepted his friend request on Facebook. We just flirt back and forth. Harmless shit. Think bitch, think!
“It’s a friend from school. Why you all in my shit, anyway? I don’t say shit about yo phone ringing off the hook all hours of the night, and before you try to say some bullshit, all them calls ain’t from crackheads.”
“Delete his ass as your friend!”
“I don’t tell you what the fuck---”
Before I could finish my sentence, he was all in my grill like a damn maniac. “Do what the fuck I said!”
Don’t you know how when you and ya boo get to beefing and you wanna keep arguing just to piss him off more? Well from the look on his face, this was definitely NOT one of those times.
“Okay Jaw.”
“Didn’t you say we was going to Tiki’s? Let’s go then.”
Tiki
“Baby, we’re having company. Get dressed.”
I ain’t been doing much of shit lately. I been laid up with my boo. On some real shit, I been running my mouth to her ass so I been watching her like a hawk. If she farts and it smells like deceit, I’m murdering her ass.
“Tiki let me ask you a question.”
I hate when people start off like that when they wanna know something.
“Go head.”
“Why you lie about your age?”
BUSTED! “Huh?”
“You heard me, girl. You know I could go to jail for fucking with yo lil young ass. Not to mention, I’d lose my job and have to register as a fucking sex offender.”
I would ask how she found out, but really?
“Well first off, I didn’t know you. I really ain’t got no excuse. I knew that you was older so I stretched the truth a lil bit. I fell for you Ash.”
She shook her head and smiled. “I fell for you too, but we gotta slow down. I like you a lot, but I’m not going to jail for fucking with ya young ass. We can still kick it, but I’m not fucking you ‘til you turn eighteen.”
“WHAT? I mean---”
I couldn’t get the rest of my words out because Ju and Jaw came walking through the door.
“Bestie, what you all loud for?”
I looked at Ashley. “We gon finish this later.”
I walked in the living room to greet my girl and her boo. “Sit down! You not gon believe who the informant is that’s telling the detective things about us.”
JuJu looked at me with this worried expression on her face. “Try me.”
“Yo funky ass Auntie Tae!”
Jaw had to put his head down on that one.
“Be for real Tiki, why would she do that?”
“Because for some reason, she wants all of y’all dead.”
We all turned around to see Ashley walking into the room with an envelope in her hand. “Anybody familiar with the name Pancho? No? Well, apparently your aunt was fucking him.”
“I ain’t never see him at her crib.”
“Well, from what she told my boss, they were dating. I could lose my job for all this, but I gotta warn y’all. He’s coming for you.”
JuJu got up and began pacing. “Why the fuck is he coming for us? We ain’t got shit of his.”
She looked at me and I put my head down.
“Tiki? NO!”
“She’s my woman. You can trust her.”
“YOU STUPID ASS BITCH! SHE’S THE POLICE!”
“Oh, I got cha bitch, JuJu! You can’t whoop me!”
“Now I know you been smoking too much weed, Tiki. You know I’ll drop yo ass.”
This shit was about to get outta control.
“We ain’t about to fight JuJu so calm down.”
Jaw got up off the couch and grabbed Ju’s arm. “Let’s go. Call her later.”
She just looked at me and shook her head as she walked outta the door.
“Jaw, I didn’t---”
“I know Tiki. Let her cool off. I’mma hit yo phone later.”
When he closed the door, I took a deep breath. I hope I didn’t make a mistake by trusting Ashley’s ass. If that hoe crossed me, then I was going to have fun killing her.
“Tiki, don’t stress it. Let her calm down. She’ll be okay.”
“I know. Damn man. Tomorrow we’re supposed to have dinner at Lil Mama’s for the holidays.”
“Well, let’s hope that she’s calmed down by then.”
Dirty E
After all of the shit that we’ve been going through, I’m really looking forward to chilling at Lil Mama’s for the holidays. I’ll be glad when this year is over with. Bye Chicago.
“Hello?”
“Dirty, do you know that my Auntie Tae is the one giving the police information on us?”
“WHAT?”
“Yes and that ain’t even the half of it. Why is that old Drunk in Love Bitch, Tiki over there telling her police girlfriend that we had something to do with Pancho’s death?”
“NO THAT HOE DIDN’T!”
“E, yes she did! I was so mad I wanted to punch her ass!”
“Ain’t gon be no punching! We don’t fight! I don’t give a fuck how wrong she is, Ju!”
“But E---”
“But E, my ass! We’re family!”
“After the dinner, we are all going out to handle everything and everybody that ain’t right.”
“So you know about JoJo then?”
“My girl JoJo? What about her?”
“Well, call Tiki’s big ass mouth since she likes to run her mouth. See you tomorrow.”
CLICK!
No that lil girl didn’t hang up on me. I had a feeling that something wasn’t right with shorty. I just thought she was young minded.
“Ah, Tiki? What’s good with JoJo?”
“OHHH Ju ain’t shit! Baby, you might wanna sit down.”
ReRe
I’m always down around the holidays. My mother’ dead and my sick ass father is still in prison for her murder. If I didn’t have my besties, and now Poohman, I’d lose my mind. I love em’ so much. Cross them and you’re as good as dead. I just got off the phone with Tiki. After the dinner tomorrow, I’m going to kill Tae.
I hate that I have to take someone from my besties, but if I don’t, she’s going to take all of us down with her. We are taking over the city. We don’t have room for errors. My phone brought me outta my thoughts.
“Hello? Tiki? What?”
“Change of plans. After the dinner tomorrow, go kill JoJo.”
“E’s not gon be mad, is she?”
“Who cares? Girl, I told her what ole girl was on and that fool said that she was going to holler at her about it after dinner tomorrow.”
“Tiki, I think that E should handle her own situation.”
“What the fuck ever! If she hurt E, all hell is going to break loose.”
I hung up on Tiki’s ass. I don’t have a problem laying a bitch down, but I’m sure that E is going to handle that.
“Poohman, you feel like riding to the store with me? I gotta get some shit for dinner tomorrow.”
“You want Big Daddy to ride with you?”
“I got yo Big Daddy, aight.”
