"Leek"

"So what's her name again? If you need me to beat her ass I gotchu." Ronda says from her mans lap.

I shake my head laughing at her. "I'm good." Thats how Ronda is she'll beat my ass if she think I got Nas out here cheating but she'll also beat anybody ass for me too.

"That's just crazy how she did you bro. And you ain't saw shorty since?" He asks me for the hundredth time.

I nod my head. "Yep. I think she's long gone in timbucktoo or some shit like that."

"Hell yeah she know you want her dead she ain't gone show her face."

"She just a weird ass bitch. Like that was my girl you feel me? She coulda kept it real with me." I bring up.

"Didn't you cheat on her though?" Ronda remembers and then side eyes me.

I nod. "I did. For Raina though, at that age I was never fully over Raina. I shouldn't of did it but I still had ties to that girl."

"And this Cassia girl was just a fling?" Ronda assumes. They both know her as Cassia since that's what I refer to her as.

I shake my head. "I wouldn't say that. I was starting to let her in. It's just we both clearly was fighting our own demons. I ever tell y'all I used to invite her over and on multiple occasions she'd be covered in bruises? I mean yeah Cassia was known for being a little ratchet so I always just assumed she got into a fight. Over time it started to become a habit."

Nas sets his drink down deciding to engage in this conversation. "Damn for real? You ever think maybe her pops used to be putting his hands on her?"

I shrug. "It crossed my mind. But it's just so many unanswered questions. Ricky knew about it and Angel was in on it. Shit did Kicks and her have sum going on? Was they all plotting? Was she trynna set me up? It just don't make no damn sense." I stress.

He nods with a concentrated look on his face. "How was she acting when you showed up?"

"All panicky and scared. Kept telling me to leave and what not but I always assumed it was because she was fuckin' with Angel."

"I don't know man but something ain't right. Ever thought about hearing her out? Especially after all this time?"

"Fuck no," I snap. "That shit ruined my life. Made me and my mom fall out, and till this day my arm be hurting every once in a while. Aches and shit. Regardless of the fact that she ain't pull the trigger her peoples did. And she could've warned me about that shit but she didn't."

"You didn't warn her about Raina..." Ronda trails.

"Raina ain't shoot her ass or leave her in a fucked up situation so that don't matter bae." Nas answers for me.

"Man can we see a picture? Like damn I wanna see what she look like." Raina says.

I nod searching all through my phone for a picture and just when I thought I aint have one I found one. I turn my phone so that they can see.

"Damn she's beautiful." Raina compliments and Nas nods in agreement. "I know some messed up ass females and she definitely doesn't look like the set somebody up type."

I sigh. "Looks can be deceiving." I say referring to the set up comment.

She's definitely beautiful though. That's something I gotta admit even till this day. Fuck beautiful she's high key stunning. But everything she did just turned me into a completely different person. And it changed the way I'll forever see her.
