Page 13 of Too Many One Nights

“Nigga, you got a week, and that’s because I got shit to do. Next time I see you, you better have my brother’s money or Kash and Jace gone live lovely with the policy she has on your ass courtesy of DeLuca Enterprises.” I smirked because I’m sure he didn’t know that lil’ tidbit of information.

Without another word, I turned around and left. I noticed a nice Audemars sitting on the coffee table and picked it up.

“This some nice shit,” I voiced. “’Preciate you, homie.” I smiled as I pocketed his watch.

“Did you really have to take that nigga’s watch?” Stacks laughed. “He probably was gone sell that shit.”

“Not my problem.” I smirked as I got in my car. I hadn’t laid eyes on my mama in a few days, so that’s where I was headed now.

“Mama!” I yelled as I walked into my parent’s house. They owned an enormous estate on the outskirts of Cannon Hills. If you were back here, then you knew our family personally. You couldn’t just pull up to this muthafucka. I mean, you could, but by the time you made it to the gate, you’d be leaking.

I walked further into the house and still didn’t see my mama. I wasn’t about to walk through this big ass house. Going to the nearest intercom, I pressed the call button.

“Mama,” I called out.

A few moments later, her calming voice flowed through the speakers.

“Yes, Lincoln?”

Our mama was the only person who called us by our government names. She said she wasn’t like everybody in the streets, and she wasn’t going to address us as such.

“Where you at? I’m hungry.”

“Boy,” she laughed. “I’ll be there in a minute.”

Satisfied, I made my way to the kitchen to wait on my mama. While I waited, I called Kasha to check on things at the bar.

“Hey, Buck,” she answered.

“Wassup, Kash? Everything good there?”

“Yeah. A little crowd came through for lunch, but it died down. It’s still steady though,” she confirmed.

“Bet. That’s the shit I like to hear.” For some reason, my mind went to Goldie. I knew she was at work because I made it my business to know when she would be there. I don’t know why because I haven’t hit again and didn’t have any plans to do so.

“Uhm, Buck?” she hesitated. “Is everything good?” I knew what she was talking about, and she had absolutely nothing to worry about.

“Ain’t shit for you to worry ’bout Kash.”

“Okay. You coming in today?”

“Yeah. I’ll be there before I go by Vault. You gone be straight?”

“Yeah. I’ll be fine. See you then.”

I hung up with Kasha just as my mama walked into the kitchen. Getting up, I greeted her with a hug and a kiss on her temple.

“Where you been, lady?”

“In the solarium. I’m surprised you found the time to come by. It’s been what? Almost a week?” she smirked.

It wasn’t a secret that out of all of my brothers; I was the mama’s boy. I was the baby until Stacks brought his ugly ass along, so naturally I gravitated more to my mama so that I could get just as much attention as them other two niggas. I usually stopped by once a day or every other day, so me missing a few was totally out of order for us.

“I’ve been busy. Between your other two sons and your husband, they don’t let up off a nigga.”

“Lincoln, you in here snitchin’ like a lil’ bitch?” I turned around and saw Stacks swaggering into the kitchen where me and mama were posted up.
