“
I
’
m
not
going
to
starve,
smart
ass,
cause
my
pride
’
s
choking
off
this
nigga
’
s
food.
”
Dorian
points
to
Logic.
“
Of
all
the
nigga
’
s
on
that
field
that
day,
that
fucking
CBC
tackle
had
to
fuck
my
knee
up.
I
’
m
not
saying
I
would
have
gone
first
round
like
you
two
lucky
cock
suckers.
But
at
least
I
would
have
had
a
shot
at
getting
drafted.
Now
I
’
m
just
another
broke
ass
nigga,
living
off
the
kindness
of
his
friends.
”

“
Look,
fuck
that!
You
better
be
learning
something
in
Law
School.
Because
when
you
finish
I
’
m
hiring
your
ass
as
my
personal
attorney.
”
Logic
replied
as
he
looked
at
Teddy
for
a
co-signer.

“
Hell
yeah!
You
think
God
took
you
off
the
field
and
put
your
ass
in
Law
School
for
nothing.
You
know
I
need
a
lawyer
that
’
s
got
a
nigga
’
s
back,
because
a
nigga
like
me
can
get
caught
up
in
some
seriously
ignorant
shit.
”

“
For
real?
Don
’
t
be
playing
with
a
nigga
and
shit.
You
’
re
seriously
going
to
hire
me?
”

“
Who
the
fuck
’
s
playing?
In
fact
I
’
m
putting
your
ass
on
retainer
right
now.
”
Teddy
declared
as
he
pulled
out
his
checkbook
and
writes
a
check
for
fifty
thousand
dollars.
As
he
attempts
to
hand
the
check
to
Dorian,
Logic
intercepts
it.

“
Let
me
see
what
you
got
here.
”
Logic
holds
on
to
the
check
as
he
pulls
his
checkbook
out
and
duplicates
the
amount
on
Teddy
’
s
check.
He
takes
both
checks
and
hands
them
to
Dorian.
“
Here
you
go.
Make
us
proud.
”

Dorian
eyes
grow
as
big
as
saucers
as
he
takes
a
look
at
the
two
checks.
“
What
the
fuck!
I
can
’
t
take
this.
Y'all
need
to
stop
embarrassing
me.
”

“
What
…
it
ain
’
t
enough,
nigga?
”
Logic
laughed.

“
Man
y'all
know
that
this
is
too
much.
I
can
’
t
take
y’all
charity.
I
don
’
t
care
how
rich
you
bitches
are.
”

“
Charity
my
ass!
Nigga
please,
ain
’
t
nobody
giving
your
ass
shit!
You
’
re
going
to
earn
it,
believe
that.
You
’
re
so
going
to
work
for
every
fucking
dime
of
my
money.
”
Teddy
laughed.

“
True
that
nigga!
That
shit
’
s
coming
straight
off
my
tab
the
second
your
ass
comes
to
work
for
me.
”
Logic
agreed.

Dorian
eyes
welled
up
with
tears,
speechless
and
overwhelmed
with
emotion
he
grabs
Teddy
and
then
Logic
and
gives
them
a
big
hug.

“
Don
’
t
get
all
emotional
and
shit
and
start
slobbering
all
over
me
and
shit.
”
Teddy
teased
as
he
playfully
pushed
Dorian
away.
“
Get
your
ass
off
of
me,
you
big
sissy.
”

“
I
know.
Sit
your
big
Baby
Huey,
Slobba
Bobba
ass
down
and
shit.
”
Logic
laughed.

“
Y'all
don
’
t
know
what
this
means
to
me.
I
can
’
t
let
my
girl
see
me
struggle
for
money
and
shit.
”

“
Nigga,
you
’
re
our
boy.
You
know
that
we
’
re
going
to
take
care
of
your
ass.
Paul
would
roll
over
in
his
grave
if
we
didn
’
t.
”
Logic
responded.

“
You
think
that
we
’
re
going
to
roll
around
in
dough
and
not
at
least
flour
your
ass.
Come
on
man,
you
know
us
better
than
that.
”
Teddy
chimed
in.
“
Your
proud
ass
too
proud
to
let
us
really
break
you
off
what
we
want
to
give
you.
But
this
will
do
for
now.
”

“
Look,
let
’
s
order
I
’
m
starving.
”
Logic
announced
as
he
discreetly
wiped
a
lone
tear
from
his
eye.
“
What
’
s
good
here?
”

“
Everything
…
but
you
got
to
try
the
ribs.
They
melt
in
your
mouth.
”
Dorian
pulled
himself
together
to
say.

“
I
’
m
going
to
get
the
half
a
rack
of
ribs
and
chicken
breast
combo.
”
Teddy
decided
as
he
casually
wiped
the
tears
from
his
face
and
tossed
the
menu
on
the
table.
