STRUGGLYN (ON HOLD)

New Addition

JALIL

"Yo Tay, take this to Keemo." I ordered Dante to come retrieve a bag full of bud from me.

"Why you can't take it to him yaself?" Dante eyed me,

"Because nigga, I'm doing something. You just standing there looking pretty- just take this to him... Please." I tossed the bag at him.

He angrily gripped it, as I blew him a kiss to upset him even more.

I watched him walk away and wondered what he had that I didn't. What made Jazlyn fall for him?
Was it his skin tone? The lean in his walk? Shit, iono. All I know is that I had it goin on as much he did, and Jazlyn ain't know what she was missin.

My phone rang.

"Yo?" I picked up.

"Nigga Mayweather couldn't beat me in a street fight!" I heard someone say in the background.

"Ayo, check this out, what you not gon do is call me and have other conversations in the background, ya dig? What the fuck is up?" I spat.

"My fault, Boss. We got info on Staxxx. He just entered a building on Lincoln. He's dolo... Should we make moves now? We been waiting to drop this nigga." The idiot spoke.

"Did I tell y'all to go looking for Raymond?" I said as Dante walked back in.

"Nah boss, we just figured that-  "

"Stop figuring shit! I need y'all dumb muhfuckas to make my money. Raymond is gon always be there! Money comes and goes and my cash flow not looking as healthy. Bring yah stupid asses back over here and make these drops. We got other shit to worry bout. He not our main focus... We'll get to him when we get to him." I rubbed my temple as I shook my head.

"Aright, man. Later.... I'm getting tired of Jalil bitch ass.." I heard before I hung up. I was gon handle him when he got back.

"We not doing nothing to Raymond as long as I'm with Jazlyn." Dante said.

"Nigga... Who are you?!?" I raised a eyebrow in awe of Dante's balls.

"I'm saying, no one is touching him. That's my girl's world, right there. I'll be damned if someone take that away from her." Dante grilled me.

"Who gives a fuck about ya girl?!" I felt myself getting mad.

"Let's not act like you didn't at one point, bro." He challenged me.

"But like I said, Ray remains untouched." Dante swung his back and left the room before I could respond.

"Lord, that's my friend... I don't wanna kill him. Give me strength, God."

Hopefully this blunt I was finna face was gon help alleviate my stress.

JAZLYN

I stood at Zoey's front door with her, after dropping her off.

"Thanks, again." She smiled.

"No doubt, girl. Look- you in good hands. I know you got set up, but you gotta understand where I was coming from as Kilo's best friend." I softly spoke.

"Yeah. I know. We cool. But lemme get inside, I gotta feed mittens."

"Mittens?" I repeated, confused.

"My cat." Zoey laughed.

"Oh okay, later boo." I started to walk away, but I was pulled back.

"Jazzy, you sure you ain't feel a spark when we kissed? Honestly...?" Her eyes shined as she spoke to me.
