"So what's up? You gon' handle that?" She went onto ask and I thought long and hard about it.
"That's the plan." I shrugged, looking over to her.
"So you ridin' out or what, nigga?" I asked her.
"Well you know I stay strapped." She said, pulling her gun out.
"We can do whatever you want, kid."
"Say nomore." I told her, starting my car.

Two hours later
"So tell me what's up with you and Tiana, nigga?" I blew smoke out my nose, looking down at the ashtray.
The room went silent as I slowly looked up, confused why this nigga still hadn't answered my question.
"Whatchu can't hear?" I spat as Dej snatched the duct tape off of his mouth.
"Fuck!" He screamed out in agony.
"Are you kidding me, dude? How could I even answer with duct tape covering my mouth?" He spoke smartly, flexing his jaw.
As I looked up at him, I wasn't feeling the way he was talking to a nigga. So I nodded my head, telling Dej to do her thing.
"No no no!" He yelled, trying to squirm out of the chair he was tied to as she pointed her gun at his head.
I watched closely, really anticipating her pulling the trigger. The way I was feeling right now, I just wanted to see it happen. I deserved that much.
"You want me to, kid?" She asked me and this nigga's eyes bulged out of his face.
"No, please."
"Please." He started begging.
"Look man, I'll talk. I'll tell you whatever you want. Just no guns, no shots, no bullets. Okay?" He finally coorperated and I laughed harshly, nodding for Dej to put her gun down.
"Aight." I agreed, blowing smoke in his face while I sat there comfortably on his couch.
"Tell me something.."
"How you meet Tiana?" I narrowed my eyes, waiting for him to say anything I didn't like.
"Well, I met her in school."
"And I never wanted to date her or looked at her in that way. I just saw her around sometimes." He started and I nodded, putting the blunt out.
"So I don't know if you know but her mother works for the school. She works in the treasury office, where all the money flows in and out."
"And I'm there a lot." He admitted and I nodded as Dej listened intently.
"So one day her mother asked if I wanted to date her and I told her, no. Not because she's ugly or anything but I have a girlfriend." He went on and Dej and I both jolted our heads back.
