"I want a pretzel" Ace complained stomping his little foot

    Amoura decided to bring Ace to the zoo along with Naylee and her nephew and niece. The zoo was fun and all but Amoura mentally told herself they wouldn't do anything like this again until she had a man because Ace emptied her pockets with everything he wanted here. She still had the money Dre gave for him which she used but the stuff at the zoo prices were ridiculously high.

"Ace this the last thing until we leave and are on the road because you already ate not too long ago."

His body language showed he was mad about that "Fiine"

"Watch that pretzel be like twenty dollars." Naylee said laughing

"It's not even funny cause it real life might be." Amoura laughed

"And some juice." Ace said

"Okay."

After buying the pretzel and drink, Amoura gave him the pretzel and they went on to another part of the zoo.

"Let's get this last part over with so we can get outta here." Amoura said "My heels starting to hurt walking so much."

"Yeah we been here like two hours now right?"

"Girl yes. Imma just start finding other activities for me and Ace to do that doesn't run my pockets like this zoo did."

"Or maybe just don't get him everything he wants his spoiled ass."

Amoura rolled her eyes "Its hard to say no, my baby is too damn adorable."

"Yeah I can tell. You got him over 40 dollars worth of shit out that store."

"Bitch shut up."

Naylee just laughed

The had looked around some more before finally deciding to leave. Amora could tell Ace was tired because he was getting cranky.

"Boy I swear you don't know how to act after getting everything you want." She said to him "I'll think twice about letting that happen again."

Ace whined as she strapped him in his car seat

"Are we going home?"

"We are going home Ace." Naylee said after getting in

"I asked mommy!" He yelled

Naylee looked back perplexed "Well shit... excuse me."

Amoura started laughing "Stop being mean."

"I'm not being mean"

"You are."

"I'm not"

"I'm not going back and forth with you three year old going on thirty."

"Mommy I'm not old!"

"I didn't say you were but you acting like it."

  Amoura shut the door when he started talking and went to the drivers side. She could see naylee laughing uncontrollably.

"Bitch you ain't even have to do him like that." She laughed

"I'm telling paw paw" Ace folded his arms and kicked his feet

"Do that." Amoura started up the car and they were on their way.

  After dropping off Naylee and her niece and nephew she had a couple errands to run.

"Mommy mommy mommy"

"Ace Ace Ace what baby?"

"I want to see grandma and paw paw"

"We'll be going back to the house soon. I just have something to do."

He made a frustrated sound but didn't say anything else. Amoura was back to the house and hr later and Ace was in the back seat knocked out. She knew she couldn't be out too long since she was using her grandmas car. She arrived home and seen her paw paw car was here. Ace wasn't waking up so she just picked him up and locked the car.

The minute she got in she felt so warm. Outside had to be below the fifties and she was freezing. She could hear her grandma in the kitchen cooking something with some music playing. She went to the kitchen with Ace still in her arms sleep.

"Hey grandma, what you cooking up?"

"Hey baby, I'm making some cabbage, rice, and fried fish. I see Ace had him a long day and it's only four something." She laughed

"Yeah we were at the zoo. I honestly should wake him up cause this day nap isn't it. He's gonna be up all night."

"Don't even wake him up let that baby sleep."

"Ughhhh" Amoura groaned "I'm sending him right to your room when he's up too."

"You're a mom and on duty twenty five-eight so I can understand. Ace can bother me all he wants."

Amoura laughed "Say less grandma. Where paw paw?"

"He up there sleep until I'm done cooking you know how me are." She rolled her eyes

Amoura laughed "Let me get Ace in bed before he wakes up."

"Alright baby"

She went upstairs and to Ace room and put him in his bed. He moved a little but didn't wake up. After hitting his light off she went to her room and put her phone on the charger. She saw the only ppl that texted her was a couple friends and her grandma from earlier.

  Dre was in the car with four other of his homeboys whom he been friends with for awhile now. They all went to the same middle and high school. Youngboy played from the radio as Dre drove. He was getting ready to drop them off and head over to his moms house and see how she was doing.

"You still fucking that girl G?" Hakeem who was in the passenger seat asked him

"Who Cheyenne?"

"Nah nigga Amoura but damn wait you still hitting her too?"

Keon and rashaad in the back started laughing along with Dre and Hakeem.

"My fuckin nigga." Rashaad said, giving him dap "She got the fat ass."

"Y'all niggas annoying but nah I ain't had none of her in some weeks. Kinda make me wanna swing by her crib now and get some but I ain't got time for her mama. Her mama be trippin."

"You know she like to trap niggas you better stay strapped up." Keon said

"Oh always always. I ain't raw dog none of these hoes except Amoura."

"Who that?" Rashaad asked

"I seen her around." Keon said "She moved down here sophomore year I believe."

"Oh I thought she been here all her life shit ion know much about her but that she gotta kid." Dre said, making a right turn

"Damn her shit must be that good you ain't fuckin her wit a condom." Hakeem said

"Man what... shit dumb wet." He said low, rubbing over his chin

"What she look like?"

"I think she blocked me on the snap." He laughed "Yeah cause I seen her ass in my subscriptions like she some damn celebrity."

"You must've did shorty dirty." Keon said

"The other day I was at her crib and you know we did what we did and I fell asleep in that bitch... I'm talking knocked the fuck out. I wake up and she pissed as hell at me cause she done went through my shit."

"Get the fuck." Hakeem said laughing along with Keon and Rashaad

"My boy you ain't shit." Rashaad said "You really fried as hell for that."

"I ain't even mean for it to happen like that but she was mad about it and I had to let her know like you not my girl. Why is you tripping. She talm bout she only worried bout getting something like I don't get checked or use protection with these bitches."

"Cut her off. She getting clingy." Rashaad said

"I mean we did cut ties. We ain't hit each other up since and we don't link up to fuck anymore."

"And how long this been?" Hakeem asked

"Ion know... I wanna say about three weeks maybe."

"Damn."

"Yeah but it's whatever. I gave her 800 hundred the last time we linked for her son."

"Yeah she got good pussy clearly" Said Rashaad

"Nah that was just outta the kindness of my heart nigga. And I was feeling generous as fuck at the time."

Dre got to a red light and checked his phone. He went to his messages and let his mom know that he would be there in a couple minutes. A black car rode up beside them.

"DRE go go go go!" Hakeem yelled before about three shots went off

And after them three more came getting Dre in his arm and shoulder.

"Fuck" Dre said as he leaned over

The car sped off leaving them there as bystanders screamed and some went to call the cops. Dre looked back to see Rashaad and Keon was both shot also. Dre could see Rashaad was already gone as his head was back with blood coming out of it. He was right by the window and was shot in the head. At this moment Dre felt like his world was falling apart and it was hard for him the breathe.
