Page 38 of Cove City: Volume II
A nigga was walking around in basketball shorts and no shirt, hot as shit, because Chevy and Zaria had us in the backyard. The heat was beating on my ass like a slave. The loud music played while Diamond was on the grill and Foe, Preach, Harvey, and Dio were playing Dominoes.
“Nah nigga give me my fucking points!” Dio shouted.
Preach chimed in, “You need Jesus.”
Foe puffed on his blunt before handing it to Dio. “Both you niggas trash!” As he slammed his domino down on the table. “Give me my muhfuckin pointsnigga!”
I passed by them carrying a tray that Yana had given me to take to Diamond. “Here,” I grumbled. “It’s hot as fuck out this bitch.”
He sipped on his drink as he bounced side to side to the beat of the music. “Damn, I thought gorillas were used to the heat.”
“Keep talking, Diamond DeBarge.”
“Funny!”
“Like yo corny ass. Take this fucking tray.”
Diamond peeled back the foil as his face scrunched up in a frown. “Fuck is that?”
I glanced in the tray. “Probably tofu.”
Diamond rolled his eyes. “Nigga eating Styrofoam but talking about us.”
I couldn’t help but laugh. I set the tray down and made my way back into Chev’s house. As soon as I stepped inside the cool AC, it blessed a nigga’s skin. My eyes bounced around looking for Chevy. I walked over to the kitchen, “Where yo daddy at?” I asked Samara.
I could see Yana peeking over her shoulder, smiling. We had all accepted Samara as one of ours, so she knew what time it was. She pointed upstairs. Not thinking anything of it, I jogged up the steps. As soon as I reached the top, I turned around. The sound of Zaria and Chevy fucking was something I didn’t want to keep stored in my memory.
When I came down the steps, Samara’s giggles erupted. There was a knock on the door. I assumed it was the new niggas, so I opened it. She held a bag in her hand as she stared at me, “Zeus,” she mumbled.
“Sasha,” I replied.
She smiled brightly, as if everything was fine.Was her heart not aching like mine?She stepped past me, going further into the house. I had gone to close the door, but was stopped by a foot. My head spun to see Navi standing there. “Are you going to let me in or stand there?”
“Don’t be mad at me because you mad at your God-fearing nigga.”
She snarled at me, but I didn’t care. Shit, I had my own issues. I had a woman walking around this muhfucka with itty bitty ass shorts on showing her ass, then dared to act like she didn’t know me. I didn’t give a fuck about anything else right now. As I closed the door behind her, Chevy and Z were coming down the steps.Just as I was, Chevy was also in basketball shorts and no shirt. My reason was because it was hot; his reason, well, he probably sweated out of his shit.
“Damn, the nigga came up for air.”
Chevy smiled. “A nigga likes to be smothered. I wasn’t complaining.”
He helped Zaria off the last step. She walked off into the kitchen, leaving us both standing there. “Everyone here?”
“Yup, except the new niggas,” I told him.
“Good, we’re going to need some time. I told them to be here at five.”
I glanced at my watch.The fuck?“Nigga it’s only three.”
“I know Zu, I know.”
When he said that, it made me wonder what he was up to. I knew Chevy, and the shit wasn’t sitting right in my spirit.

“I’m telling you, Bop, I’m not letting it slide. The nigga came to the crib to pick her up, and she just went off with him like I ain’t do nothing for her? That’s fucked up. I’m about to go over there.”
Keith was hyped up. This girl had his nose open and almost made me believe he ain’t never had any pussy before.
