Faree

I put Macy back in the car as I watched over my shoulder. Nicki slammed the trunk closed as I walked up and grabbed the milk from her. She was shaking like a vibrating phone. I pulled her by her hand and coached her back to the car.

"Stay and watch Macy."

"Faree no!"

"I'm good."

SB gave her a look as she sat back in the seat. He walked around to the back and stood against the trunk. He waited for them to fully approach before clearing his throat.

"I need your help."

"With what?"

"I need a fix."

"No you don't. You need to get yourself back together and stop calling my girl with your bullshit."

"Baby, please."

"Naw, Monique don't ask me for shit! I tried to help you."

"Really? Cause you never visited me..."

"Of course I didn't want to see you..."

"I was better, but Brim..."

"THE NIGGA WAS SUPPLYING IT TO YOU & NOW LOOK AT YAWL!"

Brim looked at Monique, who was scratching as if she was being bitten. Dirty looking asses. Brim stared into the car and frowned.

"She has a kid since.. when?"

"That ain't none of your business. Leave my girl alone and Monique stay away from my house."

"She's going to pay for what she did to my rep! She better be lucky I didn't let D Fo kill her that night!"

This bitch nigga put a hit out on my girl? Safaree's face screwed as he started to walk towards Brim, but Monique and Nicki both yelled stop.

"Baby please lets go."

"Don't EVER threaten my girl ever again in your life or I'll make sure that your last high is your last breath taken."

"Faree just give us some..."

"Bitch, he's not giving you a dime."

"How..."

I pulled Nicki to the car and made her crawl across to her seat. We can't be fighting these nobodies when we have Macy to take care of. He pulled out almost, but intentionally, hitting Brim and Monique. They chased the car for a few feet before SB raced off. He grabbed Nicki's hand then looked over at her.

"Faree, he's going to kill me."

"Baby, don't speak like that."

"Did you see his face when he ran up on me?"

"He's strung out and needs someone to blame it on."

Nicki laid her head back against the seat and cried. She didn't know why she was crying, but she was. He pulled up in the driveway and looked over at Nicki then back at Macy. They both were sleep. He got out and took Macy out of her seat and placed her in Nicki's lap then picked them up and carried them into the house.

××××××

"I need a favor and I need it by Thursday."

"What's up, Boss?"

"This isn't a phone type of conversation, meet me at the abandon house in an hour with some of the crew."

"Got you."

He hung up as he cleaned the kitchen with Yazi and Tay. They looked at him as he wiped the counter and over the sink. I don't know what I'm a tell Nic or if I should, but I need to do this. He stopped once he noticed that they were staring at him.

"Yeah?"

"Macy."

"Mayycee!"

She mocked looking up at them. She pulled on SB's pants leg then smiled huge at him. Her face was covered in icing and cake. Dammit, I just cleaned her up. He dead faced her. Her smile dropped quickly. Look at her how could stay mad at a mini Nicki. He picked her up, taking her up the stairs to get cleaned up. He was almost at the top when he heard the front door open and Kurt call after him.

"Marcus is here."

"Who?"

"Marcus. Said he needs to speak to Nicki."

"Well she's sleep. I'll be down."

"I'll let him know."

He disappeared from the bottom step. I know she don't got fuck ass niggas coming to my damn house? Nic better not start fucking trying me. He shook her hard with a angry look on his face. She looked up at him as her light browns glossed over then focused on him.

"What?"

"Who the fuck is Marcus?"

"What? I don't damn know."

"Really? He damn sure knows you and where we fucking live."

"I don't know...."

"Nic don't start the lying and shit, who the fuck is he?"

"I don't damn know!"

She stood up in her pink t and matching colored thongs. She walked out the room which pissed SB off more.

"So that's how you gone greet him?"

"If he knows me, he's seen all before ass wipe."

He went into the bathroom with Macy and slammed the door. He grabbed her bath towel as he listened to Nic's footsteps off in the distance. She groaned and moved her face everytime he tried wiping the cake off. She hit his hand then stared at him with reddish black eyes.

"Stahp!"

"Macy, let me get your face clean."

"No!"

"Alright, I'll let Nic get it."

She smiled and her eyes turned back to gray. He shook his head at her eyes changing with her mood. Wish her mother was like this. He made his way back down the stairs and saw Marquez sitting on their sofa with baggy clothes on. He looked dirty, smelled too.

"What's up?"

"Hey Macy, Daddy's baby girl."

"Daddy."

Macy pointed to SB as she shook her head at Quez reaching out for her. Nicki looked worried as everything played out before them. Macy stared at him the time, but wouldn't go to him. She grabbed SB tight everytime they tried to get her to go to him. He finally gave up.

"Thanks Nic for doing this for me."

"Doing what?"

"Oh.... um.. I'll leave you two alone."

He quickly left as SB stared at Nicki. Macy slid down his body then walked over to Nicki. She sat up in her lap then broke the silence.

"Bye Bye DaDa."

She stared at the door with no emotion or anything. All three sat in silence, but SB was staring at Nic, who was looking down at her feet.

"Speak yo."

"Don't talk to me like I'm a damn dog!"

"Tell me something... fuck you agreeing to?"

"Quez needs my..."

"No he don't... he got friends."

"I knew you'd be like this and that's why I didn't ask you."

"So we doing shit.. stuff behind each others back?"

"No, you just wouldn't understand."

"What he want from you?"

"To leave his kids here until..."

"NO!"

He got up and left the room. She got to be out her fucking mind. Naw, fuck that. Where ever he at they can stay with him. He started pulling out clothes and his gun. He put them in a duffle before Nic stepped into the room with Macy following her.

"Listen to me."

"So you can tell me something I don't..."

"Baby they're living on the street!"

"And? What..."

"Don't be so fucking cold! He did wrong, he knows it, but you're acting like..."

"He did! We can't start our family because we have to fix his mistake!"

"You think Macy's a mistake?"

They stood in silence for a good few minutes until he put his duffle bag over his shoulder then walked out the door. Let me go before I say something I regret. He walked out the front door and to his Hummer. He looked to the door to see Nic standing there with Macy. She closed the door with her head down. DAMN!

******

"Nigga, I gave you a whole fucking year to get my money! You've had my money and then some."

"Boss, look I'll..."

"You said that before and you and Monique smoked my fucking money."

"We'll get it..."

"Too late."

SB shot both his hands then aimed for his balls. Brim yelled and pleaded, but no-one heard him. He was chained to a large dart bored in the abandon house. He smirked then said a few things.

"This is for my girl."

Then shot his man hood. He handed his gun to Big Pop, who cleaned it then threw it in the metal crusher. Brim yelled out in pain as SB walked up on him and gritted his teeth.

"Message to Monique in a Body."

He stuffed a piece of paper in his mouth and walked off. I am the streets, but I can't loose my family to this. The streets will be killed before they touch my family. He looked at his watch. Fuck, it 2am. He knew Nicki was going to kill him when he got home. He got into his Hummer as Big John and Big Pop gated him.

××××××

"Its 2:45am and where have you been?"

"Handling some business."

"ALL FUCKING DAY!"

"Calm your voice! Macy's sleep."

"Who is she?"

"She?"

"What you gay?"

"Fuck no! There is no-one else!"

"You damn lie!"

She began throwing punches at him. She was crying and screaming as he blocked her hits. He wanted to tell her the truth, but he wanted to sleep tonight. He pulled her into his arms and held her until she stopped fighting. He held her back then looked into her eyes.

"There isn't anyone else and I promise you that."

"Will you tell me what "business" it was then?"

"Later, can a nigga get some shut eye with his two favorite ladies?"

"Hmmm."

He picked her up and got in the bed. He pulled her on top of him as he looked over at Macy still sleep in her crib. I pulled her face to mine and shared a kiss with her. We made out and foreplayed a little until I got too excited. Damn, Macy being in the room.
