| The Crib |

It was the end of the week and I had a total of 500 dollars in my pocket. The only shit that is bothering me is I couldn't keep it, since I had to re-up on the work.

I stood in front my mirror, placing my golden rope chain over my neck, then dusting off my new pair of Jordan's; the navy blue and white 9's was a must. I got my home girl  Yolonda from across the hall to braid my hair for me, a nigga got tired of walking around with that ponytail.

I left out my room, walking down the hall way to see Kyra sitting in the kitchen with her two little friends, Nyasia and Leyanne listening to the radio.

Yo if I need it in the morning or the middle of the night
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg If the lovin' is strong then he got it goin' on and
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg 2 inches or a yard rock hard or if it's sagging

"Wassup bro, where you going?" Kyra questioned, sliding out of her chair and walking over to me.

I eye balled her up and down, "Where the rest of your damn clothes?"

Kyra rested her hand on her hip, sucking her teeth. My little sister had on a pair of shorts that was cuffed around the thigh, a black draw string shirt that ties in the front, with a pair of black and gold sandals.

"Oh, please Eric, I am grown as fuck" she laughed.

"Aright Ky, don't get fucked up", I said as I opened the fridge, grabbing a Pepsi bottle.

I closed the fridge and leaned on it as Kyra two friends stared at me. I shook my head and smiled to myself as I seen that these two girls were damn near drooling over me.

Leyanne, she was a fly honey I can admit that. High yellow skin tone and thick as hell in all the right places. I ain't never really pay much attention to her before but now? yeah, I'd pin her ass down and change the way she walks. I ain't gonna say nothing too crazy, I know Kyra little friend, Nyasia be on me.

"Sup Ley, Sup Ny" I smirked in their direction.

Leyanne bit her lip while smiling at me, "Hey Cas".

Nyasia shot Leyanne a glare then smiling at me, "Hey Eric".

"What Y'all doing today? I hope you tell yo home girl to change her fucking clothes," I laughed before gulping my soda.

"I think she look cute" Leyanne smiled and looked at Kyra. "Don't she?"

I burped and laughed as the three of them made a face of disgust at me.

"That's what I think, but Yo I'ma holla at Y'all" I replied as I headed towards the door.

Kyra walked behind me as I opened the door. she tilted her head to the left, twisting her lips.

"Where you going man? Out with Tony?"

I sucked my teeth, "Yeah man why?"

Kyra licked her lips as she started smiling. I rolled my eyes because I know Kyra hot ass have a thing for my man Tony ever since she met him. I know she grown but she still my baby sister, and I know Tony. If he ever fucked over mines, I'm smacking that nigga.

"He is so fine bro, put me...- "

"No" I quickly interrupted. "But um...you could put the word in for Leyanne she bad".

Kyra displayed a surprised look on her face once I said that, then a sly smile crept across her face.

"Hmmm mmmm, 20 dollars" she held her hand out, leaning in her ghetto girl stance.

I threw my head back and Laughed, "Ha...she aint that damn bad".

"Well give it to me any way", Kyra smiled and poked her bottom lip out.

"For what?"

She rolled her eyes and whined, "Because we going to 2-5th and I don't wanna be broke. I aint get paid today too".

"Ugh" I moaned as I dug down in my pocket and pulling out a roll of cash. "Here man damn ol begging ass".

Kyra smiled, stuffing the bill down in her shirt, "Fuck up. Thanks bro, see ya".

"Yeah, Yeah, stay yo little ass out my room" I warned as I opened the door to the stairwell.

I heard Kyra giggling and the house door cracking as she got ready to close it.

"Whatever...Bye".

Tony Crib

I knocked on Tony door, looking down at the concrete steps waiting for him to answer. it was a hot ass day in Harlem and I just wanna get in some air. My focus shifted to the sound of three locks click.

Tony opened the door in his jeans and a black beater. He cracked a smile as he dapped me up.

"Waddup nigga...you chilling?"

"yeah man" I smiled.

I stepped inside his crib as he closed the door behind me. I smelled the air as the aroma of fresh prepared bacon filled the room. I heard my stomach grumble, a nigga could use a plate right now.

"Zoey!" Tony yelled, walking out of the living room and into the kitchen. "Fix Cas a plate".

I folded my hands in between my legs and looked around Tony house, waiting for him to come back. Oh shit, I thought as I pulled the money out of my pocket it and held it in my hand.

"Hey Cas", Zoey smiled as she walked over to me in a sports bra showing her abs and short fleece pajama shorts, holding a plate in her hand.

I smiled at Zoey as she placed the plate of food and a cup of fruit punch in front of me on the glass coffee table. Zoey was one of the baddest bitches I have ever seen. She stayed off Lenox Ave and we went to my high school together.

On my mom's every nigga wanted her; she was every nigga dream and every girl's night mare.

"Wassup Zee. thanks for the plate" I nodded as I began digging in my plate, taking a bite.

A feeling of euphoria hit my taste buds as I swallowed the bite of scrambled cheesy eggs, followed by not too crunchy but not too soft bacon.

"Go in the room real quick, I'll be back there" Tony said, smacking Zoey on her ass.

Damn, I thought to myself as I watched it jiggle as she walked down the hallway with her long hair falling her back. Tony grunted as he sat down in front of me, smirking.

"Who would have thought I'd be hitting that shit?" Tony grimaced, while picking around in his plate.

I took a gulp of my fruit punch, gasping as I placed the cup down on the coaster.

"Shit nigga, you did that's why you smiling like that" I playfully rolled my eyes then shaking my head.

"Yea, you right man" Tony agreed as he smiled.

I threw the money on the table causing Tony to pause and eye it. He looked up at me and nodded.

"Okay...okay so I see you serious bout this shit", he nodded, wiping his crumbs on to his pants then lightly sweeping them away.

"You thought I was playing? I need bread nigga I'm hungry out here man"

Tony shot me a leery smile as he rubbed his facial hair in deep thought.

Whatever he thinking, it better be "I'm bout to bring in more work for you to get paid and get you out ya moms crib".

"Aight, Ima hit up the connect and re-up. Just hold it down until I give you the word"

I nodded while finishing my plate of food, dropping the fork onto the glass dish.

"I spoke to Quan, he gonna get on this trail too he said" I mentioned.

"I know, he said that he got moves to make so he with it. we bout to get this money baby"

I shook my head, "Man hell yea, a nigga tired of living with my folks can't bring no pussy in cause Kyra baby ass always blowing a nigga shit up...cock blocking ass".

Tony laughed, "Yoo that shit wild son, and Kyra man your little sister is fine bro".

I glared at Tony, who laughed even harder at my face expression. He held his hand up in surrender;

"I know Cas, you'd pop a cap in my ass if I fucked with her, chill".

I side eyed him, "yeah ok man don't get fucked up that's my heart right there"

For the next 2 hours, Tony and I played Mortal Kombat on the Sega, smoking blunts and drinking. After the third round, we decided to call it quits as I needed to get back to the block and link with Quan.

"Ight nigga, I'm bout to be out" I say, as I stood up and stretching my arms.

Tony nodded, dapping me up.

"Ight nigga, ima holla at you with the word in a couple hours so listen out".

I nodded as I left his crib, walking to the train station to go back to my side. I walked down the block, passing the corner store which had winos, fiends and some neighborhood dealers lingering in front of it.

Some kids played in the street as the fire hydrant shot a powerful stream of water. As I reached the train station, I dug in my pocket searching for my token.

"SHIT!" I spat as I felt around in my pocket. I must have left them in my other jean pockets and I gave Kyra my last smallest bill.

I examined my surroundings; the MTA worker sat in the booth eyeing me periodically. I watched the 1 train quickly approaching the platform. I knew what I had to do;

I hoped over the turnstile and ran across the platform as the train approached the station.

"Hey! Come back here!" the booth worker yelled as he stepped his fat ass out the booth and tried to open the emergency exit door.

I ran into the red steel colored train and ran through the cart, losing the fat train booth worker. I heavily panted, catching my breath running like I aint got bad lungs.

The door closed as I sat down on the dark blue cold train seat, looking at the different tags of graffiti on the billboards of the train.

"Next stop, 103 st", the train conductor said.

I looked out the window at the bright sky and vibrant trees as the train squealed across the tracks. I feel like a bum ass nigga, hopping the train and shit.

Yeah, a nigga need a get rich quick scheme cause aint no bitches checking for a nigga hopping the bar. Fucking bum shit man.

I just hope Tony hurry up with that re-up cause a nigga hungry for the green.

Finally making it back to my side, I jogged down the steps as I left the subway and start to walk across the street but was cut off by a black four door car. I stared intentivly in case niggas wanted to move funny. I watched the windows roll down and I sucked my teeth once I seen who was in the driver seat;

"Yoo E you taking the train still nigga?" Bizz yelled out to me, laughing loud as fuck.

" This nigga here man, Yo fuck you that aint yo car that's yo momma shit!" I spat, then laughing.

I seen Los poke his head out the window, " Come on nigga, get ya money up!".

Before I could respond, they sped off in traffic, leaving me in the wind,

I rubbed my nose, mad as fuck. How the fuck these little niggas round here joy riding and shit and Im taking the train, not to mention I aint even pay to get on the shit.

Nah, this shit gotta come to an end now; being broke and I'm tired of it.
