Cameron

           After hearing Ranae and pops arguing I was surprised as hell. I thought she could do no wrong in his damn eyes. But I guess now that she's getting older and these lil niggas involved that's a big problem. And I don't disagree with him. I know I haven't been around in a minute and she pissed at me for it but I'll drop a nigga quick over her. But as long as she's respecting herself and careful, I'm good.

I walked back downstairs and sat on the couch. My phone ringed and I picked it up, seeing the caller ID and I sighed. "Yoo." I answered.

"What am I paying you for if you don't do your job?." He said. His accent strong as hell in my ear.

"I am. And don't try to make it seem like you my boss or some shit, we had a deal. And after, all this shit, we done." I said while walking to the backyard. I closed the door and screen door behind me. I walked over to the pool away from the crib.

"Careful with your words there Cameron, I haven't forgot about what that deal so I can easily call it off." He said. I could tell he was smirking on the other side of this phone. Fucking creep ass bitch.

"You be careful. I'm doing you a favor and in return you leave my people alone."

"And I kind of intend to keep that deal, even though me and Big Rod still have issues I'm not sitting well with. But I'm not worried about that anymore, this Ghost I'm hearing about, I'm still waiting on the confirmation."

"Look, he retired and left the shit to motherfuckers like you who wished to do it like him. So them issues don't exist anymore. And you gone wait until Kane and his people do they job with this Casper nigga." I said.

When my pops was heavily in this shit, no one could touch him and they still can't. He got connections from all over. And he know and I know that if he was to come back into this shit it would be with ease.

I've been around, watching, and seeing so much shit since I was 11. Shit that I wasn't even supposed to see but I can't help that I caught onto this lifestyle so.

He chuckled, coughing.

"You think this is a game, what you kids call it, but it's not, it's a very serious business. You thinking of the next chess move, thinking you're out to get the king. But there's no such thing. And the sooner you understand that, the better."

"Mann, so you think but whatever. You done?" I sighed.

"Now back to Kane, he failed to take him out multiple times. He started everything with some whore they had just to end up unsuccessful in offing him. So, I found him, with the help of one of his old buddies, and decided to meet him instead. The girl he was with, can't find her but I will."

"So you trying to recruit and partner with niggas that doing better than you right now? Ha." I shook my head. Soon as I get my money from this clown I'm out.

He chuckled. "I don't need to. Business is always successful but there no such thing as enough money. He's making a lot of money in a week to where people that's been in the game for over a decade like a few others and me, took years to make. I simply want to introduce myself and make sure he knows his place. So what I need you to do is tell your failure of a soldier to hold off doing another unsuccessful job for now." He said, hanging up and I sighed putting my phone away.

I knew exactly why he now all of sudden wants to meet up with this nigga. He just wants to use him and see how he operates, get as much info as he can and take him down. As long as he stays away from my family I'm straight.

           My phone was laid next to me as I sat on the couch watching basketball. Tati was having a screaming match with her self on the phone. She called me, waking me up at five in the morning to argue with me. Soon as she started yelling, I sat the phone down and let her. I could hang up but that's rude and I rather her make a fool of herself.

I was still tired as fuck and I couldn't fall back to sleep. So yeah I'm annoyed as fuck. What's even crazier is that me and her aren't together and she acting like this. She thinks I'm still talking to Melanie who is my ex. I'm not but I trying to, she just not responding back to me. I cheated on her with Tati so that's understandable.

I dated Melanie back in high school for the whole four years. As soon as we got accepted to different colleges, She told me she been knew I cheated and broke up with me. The same day she was leaving at that and that pissed me off so I said fuck it. But I'm not gone lie, I miss her ass like crazy.

I know she don't want shit to do with me but I'll continue to try anyway. She stubborn and it'll take a minute but we'll get there.

I was snapped out my thoughts, hearing her loudly call my name. I sighed deeply, picking my phone up. "You done?"

      "Cameron stop playing fucking games with me! I'm so tired of your bullshit!" She yelled, making me sigh.
        "You still texting that bitch, lying-"

"Yo, watch yo fucking mouth." I snapped, frowning. "Don't piss me off bruh."

         "You still texting her? Huh? Aren't you?!"

"Does it really matter?" I deeply sighed again. It got quiet and for a second until I heard her sniffling.

       "Cameron tell me the truth, you still messing with her? You still trying to be with her?" Her voice cracked.

I knew she would bring the waterworks somehow. I wasn't about to lie to her because I didn't before. I always told the truth to her when I did wrong but she insisted on staying around me.

      "No and yes." I said standing up, going to the kitchen.

    "What the hell does that mean?"

"I answered your questions. No, I'm not still fucking with her. Yes, I'm still trying to be with her. You knew this." I grabbed me a bowl out the cabinet and a spoon out the draw. I rinsed them out with water and grabbed the Apple Jacks down from on top of the fridge. I poured me some in the bowl and grabbed the milk out the fridge filling my bowl.

Her sniffles was still going as I put the stuff back and went to sit down.

"I hate you." She cried.

I didn't say anything as I laid back, continuing to eat my cereal. This isn't the first time she said that to me so I'm not affected by it. Again, she chooses to be around me. She call me wanting dick.

"Like I really fucking hate you." She groaned.

"Understandable." I said, drinking my milk. "But you hurting yourself."

"No the hell I'm not."

"You are. You continue to fuck around with me, KNOWING, I'm still trying to get at my ex. Stupid." I shook my head.

"Whatever, Fuck you. You still at your parents house? "

"No." I lied.

"Where are you? We came here together remember? I don't know this city like you do." She huffed.

"Shouldn't have wanted to follow me up here. I'm here on business." I shrugged like she can see me. "Plus you stormed out, I wasn't gone stop you. Send me an nearby address and I'll send someone." I said then hung up.

I got up and went to wash my dish out when my phone buzzed. "Damn. How you find a address that quick." I sighed. She sent me a Starbucks address so I hit up a homie of mines to go get her. I finished my cereal and got up to wash my bowl out.

I walked up stairs, going to my old room. I need to shower and change so I can go to this meeting with some nigga names Ghost. I wasn't invited but I'm going anyway. Of course it's gone be heavily guarded but I got ways around that.

I hopped in the shower, washing myself when I heard the door open. I pulled the curtains back a little seeing Tati, undressing herself. "Who the fuck let you in? And why you undressing?"

   "Your brother and to take a shower obviously." She answered.

I sighed, closing the curtains. They was opened back and she hopped in, closing them again. She grabbed my bottled soap and I took it from her. "Nope." I simply said.

"Cameron really?" She crossed her arms. "I need soap."

"There was another bathroom down the hall. Here." I sighed, giving her the bar Dove bar of soap that was on the shelf behind me. She took it and start washing up.

We sat in silence for a good ten minutes until I felt her hands wrap around my jr. "Tati. I'm not in the mood." I said looking down at her.

She ignored me, wrapping her mouth around my shit. She kissed, licked, and sucked on it and I stood slowly. She was good at this so I let her do her, again, this is all her doing.

            After that moment in the shower earlier, we was still in my room. I was watching tv and Tati was laying at the foot of my bed, on her phone as usual. I would check mines from time to time and to watch the time. I heard my mama on Nae's ass now since my pops wasn't here. They've argued for a bit until I heard the loud sound of her door slamming. I checked my phone again and it was close to eight.

     "I'll be back." I said rising up.

   "You leaving me here? Where you going?" She huffed.

     "I said I'll be back. I gotta take care of something." I said grabbing my phone and keys. I walked out my room heading downstairs. My pops and mama was in the kitchen hugged up, talking.

I wasn't even gone bother them so I quietly left out. My pops would think what I'm doing is a set up or betrayal but really it's me trying to remove a problem I watched him for years struggle with.

Gerard and Vito.

After I see who this Ghost nigga is that's taking over, I might have my chance. I'm getting all the information I need before I do anything. I'm protecting my people by any means and when I'm done, I'll put shit in motion.

I kept in contact with some of my pops older crew who got out the game and started a family. They kept me in the loop of shit that's been happening. This nigga Gerard still gunning for him and Vito is one of Gerard's plugs. So I know for a fact they secretly working together but Vito won't tell me that of course.

So this whole little meeting ain't finna go like he planned. I'm coming uninvited at the last minute so he wouldn't expect nothing from me.  He think I contacted and got in touch with him to work for him, nah. I've came a long way since I was 12, I've waited patiently and learned a lot.

I got in my car, starting it up and drove to his strip club he's holding the meeting at. They probably was just getting started so this was a perfect time. I parked and turned my car off. I was in the back where they cars was parked just waiting. In the corner of my eye I seen two SUVs, a white one and black one. A dark grey Range Rover came right behind them and parked.

I watched them as they hopped out the SUVs, seeing that they was deep as hell. The Range Rover truck doors opened and immediately noticed Nae's two homeboys, Elijah and Kevin. I haven't seen they ass in a minute, since we balled when we was younger. Thought they ass would be in NBA by now. They was with two other people I didn't recognize that walked ahead of them. If Nae friends is going by Ghost then this just got difficult.
