Dope Boys and the Women that Love 'Em (11 page)

“Yes sir,” Dmitri stated.

“Are you hungry?” Dom asked looking at all the food on the table as if nothing serious was just discussed.

“No thank you,” Dmitri responded. “I need to be on my way to Macon.” Macon was where he was originally from, but he mostly stayed
in the mansion to be close to Dom in case he needed him.

“Okay well
, you may leave then,” he stated as he watched Dmitri exit the room. He didn’t really want to go through with the plan of having this person knocked off, but the phone calls were the one thing that was upsetting. He normally didn’t have to tell a person something more than once but this person just wouldn’t accept him telling them to leave it alone. If this secret got out it could destroy everything he’d worked for and he wasn’t about to let that happen. He picked up the phone to call his clean-up man. On the first ring, he answered.

“What
can I do for you?” The clean up man asked.

“I need you to be in place tonight. What we discussed a couple months back will be going down.”

“Don’t worry Sir; I’ll be there to clean up the mess.” And with that, Dom ended the call.

Malcolm put on his
Tank Francaise Cartier timepiece then walked over to check out his ensemble in the full length mirror. He was fresh to death in a smooth dark gray Ralph Lauren black label polo shirt and a pair of black Cargo Ralph Lauren shorts. He had a thing for pockets because he always kept something in them; especially money and his .22 handgun. It was small, yet powerful and if a nigga got wrong they would feel the force behind it.

He looked down at his shoes and smil
ed, wearing a new pair of black Ralph Lauren socks and an eight hundred dollar fresh pair of black double zip bar Giuseppe Zanotti high top sneakers. Diamond had bought him those two months prior on one of her expensive shopping sprees. His shoes cost more than his whole outfit next to his more expensive Cartier watch. It was only one thing that he was missing and that was his smell good so immediately sprayed on the Eau de Cartier cologne then walked out of the bedroom grabbing his truck keys as he passed them.

“Hey baby,” Diamond
spoke as she relaxed on the dark tan suede sectional watching a re-run of
The Braxton’s.
“You’re looking mighty handsome.” She admired his gear from head to toe and the scent of his cologne was so enticing.

“Thanks love,” he said walking over and kissing her softly on the lips. “So is this what you’re doing all day?”

“Yep, while you’re gone and Amber’s away I’ll be sitting right here catching up on my favorite shows. Think I’m gonna take advantage of this me time.” She grinned. “So how long do you plan on being out?”

“Most of the day,” he responded. “I’m stopping by Russell’s first then I’ll be on to handle some other business.”

“Alright, I’ll see you when you get back.” She said still tuned into the episode that she’d missed the night before. “Be careful.”

“I will baby,” he stated then exited the house.

Russell walked out in his yard to pick up the morning newspaper and like clockwork Chloe came bending the corner with her usual morning sprint around the block. The closer she got to him the faster his heart began to beat. Standing there with a hangover from his late night out, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to speak with her and see where her mind was at.

Chloe slowed her pace
seeing this sexy man standing there waiting for her in nothing but a pair of black gym shorts, a white tee, and black bedroom slippers. She gradually stopped once she was within inches away from him.

“Hey Russell,” she spoke trying to calm her breathing, but that didn’t stop her from feeling a little
uncomfortable; especially not knowing where his head was at.

“What’s up Chloe,” Russell spoke back.
He felt a little embarrassed too, but hell it was only one way to get over it and that was by talking about what made them so nervous to be around each other. “I didn’t expect to see you at that house party last night.”

Chloe shyly smiled. “Yeah, you were the last person that I expected to see
there too.”

“It’s funny how knowing one person can connect you to meeting others.” He grinned a little.

“Tell me about it,” she said. They stood there staring at each other for a brief moment neither of them not knowing what to say.

“Soooo,” Russell dragged, thinking about their drunken state and wild turn of events. “I’m surprised you’re out exercising this morning. I’m still feeling queasy as hell from all that free liquor.”

“My stomach is cast iron,” she laughed. “I can hang with the best of ‘em.”

“I believe you,” he remarked,
remembering how she was taking shot after shot after shot as if she’d been missing out on some serious excitement. Chloe stood there wondering how she could explain the events that happened after the party. She was certainly caught up.

“Hey about last night, I know I overstepped my boundaries.”

“No don’t sweat it.” Russell cut in. “I won’t tell if you don’t.” What they shared was a passionate kiss after she’d gotten him alone in his car and wanted to talk about her displeasure with Lance being in the dope game. One thing led to another and before long Chloe’s tongue was down his throat and his hands were groping her breasts.

“I do love your brother. I don’t know what got in
to me last night.” She still felt ashamed that she’d acted so desperate for some kind of attention.

“It was prob
ably those shots of Hennessy that you were gulping down like Ed the wino.” Chloe laughed at his smart remark.

“Yeah, you’re probably right.” It was so easy to talk to
Russell because he looked so much like Lance which was why it was so easy for him to get to first base. The party was thrown by one of her co-workers and Russell showing up caused anyone that saw them together to think that he was Lance. Russell by chance was invited by one of his do boys who had hyped the event up like it was going to be the hot shit and true enough after kissing Chloe it had indeed became the hottest event that he had attended all year.

“Is my brother okay?” He asked knowing that Lance had called several times through the night but Chloe was determined to give him some of his own medicine. She gave him the courtesy of answering only once to inform him that she was out enjoying herself with her girlfriends and that she’d return
home later.

“Yeah, he’s good. I think I just surprised him by not being home when he returned from your house.
See, I didn’t tell him that I was even leaving.” She grinned. “But those were my intentions anyway.”

“I see,”
Russell commented looking down the street. He could hear Malcolm’s roaring pipes and base from his speakers heading their way.

“Well, let me go,” Chloe said. “I know Tammy’s
doing her Saturday morning routine, but I don’t need nobody whispering about nothing that’s none of their business.”

“Malcolm’s cool, but I feel you,” he said. “I’m sure I’ll see you around.”

“You’re right about that. Oh and thanks for keeping quiet about last night.”

“Last night? What h
appened last night?” He teased causing her to grin as she began sprinting down the road heading towards her house. Russell couldn’t help but think about that night as he watched her sexy ass jiggle in them pink spandex tights she had on with a smile on his face.

Malcolm pulled in the driveway
no sooner than Chloe could get a few feet down the road. As usual he had his music thumping hard and loud. Russell just stood in front of the truck with a smile on his face then yelled out over the music.

“Maaan, turn that shit down before you wake up the nei
ghborhood.” Malcolm laughed and switched back the ignition then stepped out of his Dodge Ram. Even though he was 6’1 it seemed like he jumped in and out of his truck because the 30’ inch Asanti rims had it sitting up so high.

“What’s good fam?”

“Nothing much bro,” Russell spoke back as they gave each other dap then headed toward the porch to sit down and talk.

“
Damn man, wasn’t that your brother’s ol’ lady?” Russell nodded his head indicating that yes it was. “Man, she is fine as hell.” He said thinking about passing her as she glided by his truck like a juicy super model with thick thighs, a round fat ass, and cute face.

“Yeah man she is one bad ass.” Russell commented wanting to now talk about their bizarre night. “Aye man, you wouldn’t believe what happened last night.”

“What’s that fam?” Malcolm nosily questioned. He knew that Russell was a bad boy and a serious player when he wanted to be so no telling what he wanted to talk about.

“I kissed her last night.” Russell stated. He hated to kiss and tell but talking to Malcolm was like talking to his damn self so it didn’t matter.

Confusion quickly set in. “You kissed who?” Russell glanced down the street in the direction that Chloe was jogging in then his eyes wandered back over to Malcolm. Malcolm glanced down the road trying to see what Russell was looking at then… “Lance’s ol’ lady?” He asked with a surprised look on his face.

“Yes man, Chloe,” Russell confirmed.

“Noooooo,” Malcolm said still confused as hell as to what caused that to happen.

“I know right. Check this strange shit out, man.” Russell shook his head like it was even unbelievable to talk about it. “Last night Tammy went out with the girls and you know I wasn’t sitting in the house alone. I had already decided to check out this house party that one of my lil homey’s put me down on.
Some party he was attending with his girlfriend. So, I go to this party and it’s a lot of cool ass people there, mostly white people, but cool people. Hell, that worked for me,” he said reminiscing out loud. “Then I start mingling and getting my drink on when I hear this loud talking and laughing coming from the kitchen. I walk in there to see what the hype was about and who do I see? Chloe standing to the counter with her co-workers and she’s tossing shots back to back.”

“Damn,” Malcolm said
in disbelief still thinking about the kiss.

“Right,” Russell agreed. “When she first saw me, she had to do a double take.
Hell, I even had to do a double take, but I think I may have scared her because she was thinking that I was Lance and he’d popped up on her ass while she was showing her ass.”

“Damn, I bet that’s just what she thought at first too.
”

“So, anyway once she realizes that it’s just me there and that I’ve come alone she starts to hang around me like she’s my ol’ lady or something. People there were actually mistaking me for my brother and she wouldn’t tell them any different.
She was feeling good, bro. I mean real good.”

“I bet she was,” Malcolm commented definitely in tuned with the story.

“Aye so when the party winds down she walks with me out to my car then she wants to sit in my car and talk about problems she’s having with my brother. Mind you, Lance keeps calling her phone and she keeps sending his ass to voicemail. I know he’s wondering where she’s at and I’m sitting right in her face and can tell him her whereabouts, but that ain’t me. I didn’t want to tell on the girl, because she’d been actually really cool and fun inside the party. She just caught me off guard when she leaned in to kiss me.” He shook his head like that was an amazing kiss. “She stuck her tongue in my mouth and all I could taste was liquor and Dentyne ice gum. Damn that shit turned me on.”

Malcolm grinned. “Boy you a fool with it,” he stated.

“Man, before I know it I’m kissing the broad back and my hands start rubbing her breasts like they had a mind of their own. Boy, I know I was wrong but you shoulda seen her. She had on the baddest lil mini dress I’d seen in a minute. That body was banging.”

“Damn fam, sounds like you had a good time.” Malcolm said.

“Shit, a damn good time,” Russell stated. “But I can’t lie. I feel bad as hell this morning. I don’t know if it’s from this hangover or for betraying my brother by kissing his girl. Even though she just tried to convince me that she loves my brother I know she can’t love him like she claims. I coulda fucked her if I wanted too, but I stopped her. I had to push back a little and tell her that I couldn’t do it like it.” He said even though he actually could have he just didn’t want Malcolm to know that he was having thoughts like that.

“Damn man,” Malcolm said. It wasn’t much else he could say because he was still thrown off by that one.

“I just keep thinking about it. I mean damn, that’s my brother’s ol’ lady.” He disappointedly shook his head.

“Yeah, that’s the same thing I’m thinking. Don’t beat yourself up about it though because you didn’t pursue her. Hell, she pursued you. I’m just proud of you Bro, because you could’ve fucked her but you didn’t.”

“I know right,” Russell said feeling like it was a part of him that still wanted too though. “So anyway enough about that,” he said just wanting to clear his thoughts because Chloe certainly had him going. “Are you still going to the car show today?”

“Yeah, you sho’
you don’t wanna go?”
