Page 7 of We Could Be Better

“Why you said treated like her and that nigga past tense? Keem, you knew where Ky was the whole time?”

“I sure did but like Drek said the girl cried plenty nights; I knew you weren’t ready t settle down. I played like I didn’tknow to keep you from hurting her again.” I had to respect that because my brother was right.

“To answer your question they are; she divorced him that’s why all of us ended up moving here. Just give her some time and ima talk to her, but in the meantime put your shirt back on punk.” She said as she reached over to hug me.

I had a feeling Ky was in love with me but she never just up and told me she had feelings for me which explains why she was about to cry when I asked her why she just up and left. I wanted to run after her but I thought I should give her some space that night after the club but the way she be treating me lately I figured that I might as well go to her party at the salon tonight and go holla at her. Kyra was different from most girls I dealt with. She was a go getter for real and she held her own. There wasn’t a bitch around here held a candle to her, lil mama was thoroughbred and have the heart of a lion she’s a real rider.

“Hello” I said as I answered my ringing phone I was so deep in thought about Ky I didn’t even pay attention to the caller id

“Hey baby why haven’t you called?”

I had to look at the screen to see if I was tripping. This bitch was really out her mind to think that I wanted to still deal with her after that stunt she pulled at the club that night.

“Bella, you gotta be kidding me right now. After that shit you pulled with Kyra you really think ima still fuck with you love.” I said hanging up the phone not even waiting for her to reply.

This hoe was tripping and I wasn’t in the mood for her petty ass I had too much on my mind. And if this bitch thought for a second I was going to sit around here and play with herwhen she know she was dead ass wrong then she got me fucked up.

The night had come and I was standing in the mirror looking at myself not that I was a conceited little pretty boy but I had to give it to myself I was handsome and well dressed. Tonight I decided to a nice printed button up with some jeans and a pair of loafers. My cut was fresh and my goatee was shaped up nice. I grabbed my keys to my corvette z06 and head towards Kyra salon. I couldn’t help but to think about how she would act towards me once she saw me there. I didn’t want to look like a complete fool, but I’m a boss and I am in the streets day and night. I didn’t want some beef to pop off and I end up 6 feet under without telling her my true feelings for her.

When I walked into Kyra’s Place I had to admit she had it looking good in here. She was on the shit and the purple and gold walls made it look like Royalty in here. I looked around for her but saw Onika instead I made my way to her and when she looked up at me she rolled her eye. Onika was a real pretty chick she was dark with a blemish free complexion about 5 feet even and loved blonde hair. She was a true ghetto Barbie like we would say in the hood. Her loyalty ran deep though, so when she looked at me with a side eye I knew why. She grew up with and she was big on that loyalty just like Ky was. I knew I was going to have to eventually end up explaining that situation to her too, but right now I was on a search for Kyra.

“What’s up NIk? Where Kyra?” She didn’t reply instead she just looked pass me as if she had seen a ghost or something. I turned around to see what she was looking at a thought “damn just my luck.” This bitch Bella just wouldn’t learn. I couldn’tbelieve she decided to show up here especially after what happened to her that night at the club.

“Ya girl came back with her click huh?” I just shook my head and walk in Bella direction

“Damn bae you in here looking and smelling good.” She said as she tried to hug and kiss me in front her friends.

“Bitch you know for a fact I aint rocking with your ass no more stop being messy before I get Kyra to whip your ass again.”

“That won’t be necessary!” Kyra said

She walked up behind me looking like she wanted to kill me. I had to admit though lil mama was looking and smelling good as hell. I got a hard on just by looking at her. Damn I couldn’t wait to have her on my arm one of these days. She was going to be my wife and she didn’t even know it yet.

“Kyra, what’s up love? I can explain” I said

“No need escort that bitch out my place. NOW!!”

I know she was mad but she wasn’t going to keep talking to me like I was some little bitch ass nigga. I was going to put her in her place weather she liked it or not. I just did as she said. Of Course Bella didn’t leave without putting on a show. Before she left out her and her girls knocked the drink table over and the table with all of Kyra products. I was pissed at that bitch.

On top of that, it had a nigga I didn’t even know coming at me stupid. I didn’t even know this man name. I had never even seen him around before. but from the look on his face he knew me and I can see that it was a beef brewing.

“Handle your bitches nigga.” the man said

“Son, who the fuck are you and why are you talking to me?”

“You don’t know me now but soon you will” he said

Keem went and knocked him out cold. I didn’t know what the fuck was going on tonight and I couldn’t wrap my head around the foolishness. All I know is out of nowhere buku niggas came and started jumping on my brother. I pulled my shirt off not even thinking and revealing my secret. I didn’t care at that point she was going to find out soon anyway, but I couldn’t stand around and let all them niggas jump on my brother. Hell even the women jumped in.

When the fight was broken up I looked up see Bella going towards Kyra with a knife in here hand. I hurry up and moved her out of the way and stepped in Bella face. This is why I didn’t want to be with Kyra right now I was in the streets and I couldn’t be faithful, but that wasn’t the crazy part. These bitches didn’t know their place. I don’t understand why Bella couldn’t just walk away once I said it was over. She just had to come for Kyra.

“Bitch if you even think about stabbing her I’ll kill you.” this stupid bitch started laughing in my face

“That’s no problem sweetheart” she said right before she stabbed me.

I wanted to kill that bitch but I couldn’t even open my mouth to say anything because of the pain from that chest stab. I tried to run after her but quickly stumbled back and black out.
