"Mama!" I yelled as I walked in my moms house.

"Hey baby." She said coming out the kitchen.

"Haven't seen you in a while." She added.

"I know, been kinda busy with my barber shop and things of that sort." I said.

"Yeah I see that's coming along pretty good, i'm proud of you son." My moms said.

"Thank you, couldn't do it without you and God." I said.

"That's right." She said.

"Where ari at?" I asked referring to my sister.

"Upstairs." My mom said.

"ARI YOUR BROTHER HERE!" My mom yelled.

She came running down the stairs.

"B3 wassup cuhs." My sister said making me laugh.

"Aye, what I told you about talking like that in my house." My mom said.

"Ari chill, did you have a good week at school?" I asked.

"Yeah." She replied.

"Can I spend the weekend at your house, my friend live out there and I wanna hang out with her this weekend." Ari said.

"Uh.. Ma is that cool with you?" I asked.

"Yeah." My mom said.

"Of course she gone say yeah, she gotta date with Mr. kenny." Ari said making me look at my mama.

"Who is that nigga?" I asked.

"Aye watch your mouth, he's my friend. And you need to mind your fifthteen year old business." My mom said pointing at my sister.

"I'ma go pack my bags." Ari said running up the stairs.

"That girl is a trip." My mom said.

"That's your daughter." I said chuckling.

"And your my son, I remember when you was a little baby running around here with your diaper on. Now your all grown up where did time go." My moms said.

"Oh and how is Mrs. Tasha doing?" My mom asked.

"Good, she's out of town right now but she comes back tomorrow." I said.

"Good because I have to go over there and see her." My moms said.

"Mr king still being a fool." My moms said chuckling.

"Yeah as usual." I said.

"Man they helped me out a lot with you. I'm forever grateful for that." My moms said.

My pops was never around he was always in jail ever since I was 7 years old. That's why I jumped in the streets at an early age. I feel like if my father was around I wouldn't be in the streets.

"I'm ready." My sister said coming down the stairs with her bags.

I grabbed them from her. I don't want no women around me carrying their own bags. I was raised better than that.

"Aight mama i'ma go ahead and get this one off your hands." I said.

"Okay baby, love y'all be safe." My moms said.

"Love you too." We said in union.

I pulled up in front of my house turning my car off.

"Ari here go the keys, go unlock my apartment." I said handing her the keys.

"Okay." She said grabbing them.

I got out the car and grabbed her bags before locking the door.

"B3 WASSUP WITCHA CRIP!" Somebody yelled.

"WHATS GOING!" I yelled back.

I don't even know who that was, it's a Crip thing tho. We unite even if you ain't from the same hood as me, we still Crips.

"B3, can I go hang with my friend?" My sister asked.

"You didn't even give yourself time to sit down yet, but yeah where she stay?" I asked.

"Right beside Mrs. Tasha." She said.

Here we go.

"Ight i'ma walk you over there let me put YOUR bags in the house." I said.

I walked in my house and went to Ariel room in my house and put her bags in there before walking out and locking my door.

You gotta stay alert in the hood fasho.

"Let's go." I said.

We started walking towards the other side of the village.

"Yo B3!" Relly yelled.

"Wassup relly." I said.

"Whatchu doing later?" Relly asked.

"I gotta watch my lil sister." I said.

"She fifthteen she can't watch herself?" Relly asked.

"Not in my house." I said making him laugh.

"Ight cuhs." He said.

"My boy B3." Ace said as I approached the apartment complex.

"Wassup." I said looking around.

I saw Tae on her phone she didn't even look up.

What's that about?

"Hey Ari." Ace said.

"Bye Ace." Ari replied knocking on her friend door.

"Where Aubrey?" I asked.

"Work." Ace replied.

"Proud of her." I said.

"Me too." Ace replied.

"Tae where you work at?" Ace asked.

"Well back home I use to work at an Beauty salon, and I'm supposed to be getting transferred to the one on 25th next week." She said.

"Oh so you like doing hair too." Ace said smirking while looking at me.

"Yeah." She said.

"B3 cut hair he own a barber shop on 26th." Ace said.

"That's great." She said.

"Nigga you run your mouth too much." I said.

"How i'm just telling her." Ace said smirking.

"I don't need you telling her nothing, it ain't her business nigga." I said.

"Don't want it to be." She said lowly.

"What? Speak up when you talking to me." I said.

"Mmcht, here we go." Ace said.

"Who do you think you are?" She asked.

"I'm B3 ask about me." I said.

"No thank you." She said.

"Weirdo." I said.

"Aw, you must be projecting." She said.

"I don't know what lil weak niggas you been around. But around here you gone put some respect in your tone and on my name." I said.

"Says who?" She asked making me stare at her.

"Um.. now is your chance to run." Ace said.

She stood there staring at me back.

Oh she bold.

I walked up to her and wrapped my hands around her throat. Gently of course.

"Like I said put some respect in your tone. I would put you in your place right now but you mrs. tasha grand daughter so i'ma tread lightly." I said in her ear before letting her go and walking away.

She just stood there looking dumbfounded. Better go find her somebody to play with, B3 ain't no toy.

The woman was too stunned to speak.
