Chapter Thirteen
Stacks
I didn’t know what to say when Kasha said Rein popped up over here.
That shit had me baffled because I could’ve sworn I told her I’d get up with her since I had some shit going on.
That didn’t mean show the fuck up at my spot like I needed a shoulder to lean on or some shit.
I recognized the hurt in Kasha’s eyes because it was the same shit that I tucked away in the back of mine.
I finished my hygiene and got dressed. I needed to go check on shit at the club and the yard.
I didn’t even bother to acknowledge Kasha sitting at the island as I grabbed my motorcycle key off the counter and left.
My first stop was the club. I hadn’t been here in a couple of days, and I needed to make sure Sophi was good.
It was the middle of the day, so nobody was here yet except for Sophi and the employees.
That was good because I had shit to do here, and I didn’t need to be bothered.
When I walked in, I nodded at the bartenders and a few cooks.
Security was here around the clock, so I spoke to them as well.
When I made it upstairs where the offices were located, I stopped by Sophi’s office first.
“Wassup, cuz? You good?” I asked as I walked in, closing the door behind me. I noticed the frazzled look on her face when I walked in and that shit didn’t sit right with me.
“Uhm, hey. Yeah, I’m good. How’s Kasha?”
“You’on look good.” I ignored her question about Kasha, simply because I didn’t want to talk about the shit and it was clear she had some shit going on with her.
“What’s going, or you want me to call Buck’s ignorant ass?
” Her eyes ballooned at the mention of Buck.
Out of all three of us, everybody hated to see that nigga coming.
Nic and Benny calmed him down some, but not much.
“It’s nothing. Rio keeps calling me and I keep declining his calls, but he leaves messages on my voicemail.”
“Why you ain’t answering?”
“I’ain got nothing to talk about.” She shrugged.
“How long that nigga got?”
“Two years.”
“Listen. I’ain gone hold you. Whatever that nigga did, he clearly deserved it. When you’re ready to talk about it, come see me. If you let that nigga Buck know what’s going on, I can guarantee you he won’t serve the full two years.”
“Thank you, Stacks.”
“Ain’t no problem.”
“Now that you’ve been all up in my business, what’s going on with you and Kasha?” she smirked.
“Ain’t shit going on. I ain’t got shit for her ass,” I lied.
“So, why is she at your house?”
“She’s only there so I can watch her and Jace until we wrap this shit up with her bitch ass baby daddy.”
“Who you tryna convince? Me or you?” I laughed off her allegations instead of refuting them.
I couldn’t even lie and say that I didn’t still care for Kasha because I did.
I just couldn’t fuck with her right now.
After letting Sophi know I would be back later to collect the money to deposit, I left and headed to the yard. I needed to holla at Stone, anyway.

“Wassup, bro?” I dapped Stone up once I met him under the awning.
“Ain’t shit. Ya girl been looking for you?” When he said that, my brow raised because what the fuck was Kasha doing out here?
“Kasha been here?”
“Kasha? Nah, I’m talking about Rein.”
Her ears must’ve been burning because her ass popped up out of nowhere.
“Hey,” she greeted with a smirk plastered on her face.
“Aye, let me holla at you right quick.”
I walked off with her following close behind. When I made it to the office I had here, she was on me before I could shut the door good.
“Aye, back up.” I pushed her lightly to put some space between the two of us.
“I missed you,” she cooed.
“I can tell. That’s why you popped up at my house yesterday?” I cocked my head to the side waiting for her to respond.
“I came to make sure you were okay.”
“Didn’t I tell you I was?”
“Yeah, but―”
“Ain’t no buts, shorty. You can’t be poppin’ up at my spot like that. You’on know what I got going on.”
“Like the woman that answered your door? You didn’t tell me you had a girlfriend, Jackson.”
“Jackson? Since when you started calling me Jackson?”
“That woman called you that when I went to your house.” She shrugged.
“You ain’t her, so don’t call me no muthafuckin’ Jackson again.” I walked away from her and fixed myself a drink. “Look, I’m cool off you. I ain’t got time for this territorial shit you tryna pull. I got too much shit going on in my life to add to it,” I stated honestly.
“You’re cool off me?” she asked incredulously? “Are you serious right now? After I fuck you now, you’re cool off me?”
I shrugged.
“Wow. I thought you were different, but you’re just like that hoe ass brother of yours. Y’all think y’all can go around treating people like shit!” She was fuming and right now I didn’t care.
“You fucked my brother?” I asked.
“No. My friend did. After he fucked her, he acted like he didn’t know her. I see you’re just like him,” she seethed.
“Well, if you know that, you know you need to get the fuck out my face before I turn into his clone. Get the fuck on, man. Matter fact, don’t come ’round here again.
” I got up and headed toward the door so I could open it for her.
Instead of leaving like I asked, she leaned on my desk and crossed her feet at the ankles.
“Make me.” She smirked.
With a smirk of my own, I pulled my Glock from my waist and let it rest at my side.
“Either walk out this muthafucka or become a figment of my imagination. Either way, you got less than a second to make ya mind up ’fore I do it for you.
” I knew that would motivate her ass, because she was gone before I could finish my sentence.
Rolling my neck to relive some of the tension, I swiped my hand down my face just as my phone rang. I looked at the screen and it was Buck.
“Yo?”
“It’s showtime,” he responded.
“Bet. What’s next?”
“We wait for him to identify her body and Knas gone call us.”
“Aight. Aye, this Jace calling. I’ll hit you back.” I hung up with Buck and answered Jace before his lil’ impatient ass hung up, only to call right back.
“Wassup, man?” I answered.
“You coming to get us?” he asked.
“Come get you? I thought you were chillin’ with Keenan?”
“I was, but my mama came at me. Where at my grandma’s house.”
I had to pinch the bridge of my nose to keep from going over there and dragging some sense into Kasha.
“Y’all got clothes over there?”
“Yeah.”
Sighing, I knew she went over there because she was sick of me ignoring her. I couldn’t deal with this shit right now, though. I had someone watching that house, so they’d be fine until this shit was over with.
“Aight. I got some shit to handle but I’ll come get y’all when I’m done, aight?”
“Aight.”
I hung up with Jace and sent Kasha a text.
I see you still running.
Kasha: Not Delivered
I couldn’t do shit but laugh because this girl really blocked me. She could have that though because after I handle that bitch ass baby daddy of hers, I was gone show her who slung dick ’round this muthafucka.
