“
We have chores around here. I work the swing shift at the hospital and I have to be sure I can trust you guys. I usually prepare dinner, but it’s your job to keep your room clean, the kitchen, and living room. It’s summer, so you’re allowed to be out until ten and since I don’t get off until eleven thirty, I’m trusting you girls will be in when you are supposed to.”

“
Yes, ma’am, I certainly understand. I really appreciate you giving me so much trust and I promise not to take advantage of it.” Lexi gave her aunt that puppy dog look as she had done so many times to Bank Roll, and knew she had Elizabeth right where she wanted her.

“
One more thing. I don’t tolerate alcohol, cigarettes, or any illegal drugs in my home. We go to church on Sundays in this house, too.”

“
I understand, ma’am.” Lexi reached over, gave her aunt a hug, and got up to leave the room.

“
Christy, you know what I will and will not tolerate so I expect you to show Lexi the ropes.”

“
OK, momma.” Christy hugged her mother and left the room as well. She closed her mother’s door and looked at Lexi. “We have to be more careful from now on. Momma let us get off easy this time,” she whispered.

Lexi rolled her eyes. “You’re a rookie. I got this.”

Christy felt offended. She had always been the good girl because she didn’t want Elizabeth to get tired of her and give her away like her mother did. She knew her sisters had done a lot of bad shit, but she also knew her mother had to deal with them because they were her children. She was tired of being good. She was ready to show Lexi just how down she could be.

Chapter 6

It was a week after Lexi had moved in. Her and Christy walked to the store on MacAuthor Blvd.

“
Damn, you a fine lil’ chocolate thang. Why I ain’t seen you around here before?” Meech asked. He was the leader of the pack of boys that stood in front of the store and you could tell. He was a caramel complexion, about five feet ten, and had jewels and gold that let Lexi know he was the boss.

Lexi rolled her eyes. It seemed her skin color automatically gave everyone the right to call her chocolate or something or the sorts. “I just moved here with my aunt and cousin,” Lexi said in a sassy tone.

“
You need to let me be your man. I can show you the world.”

Lexi decided to switch her game plan and play with him. “You can?” Lexi asked with the same innocent eyes she had used on Bank Roll years ago.

“
How old are you, lil’ sexy?”

“
Fourteen,” she said shyly.

“
You need to get on my team.” Meech looked her up and down. She looked exotic to him.

Lexi shrugged her shoulders as she smiled. “I’ll think about it, cutie.”

While Lexi played her coy game with Meech, Christy talked to Buck, a guy she had been fucking for a few months. He looked dirty. He was five feet five and was stocky. His braids looked like they were past the point of needing to be done, and his clothes didn’t look as fresh as the other corner boys. That didn’t matter to Christy, though. She wanted someone to love her and every time a boy showed any kind of interest, she gave him pussy. She was short and stubby. Although she had new clothes and kept her hair and nails done, all she ever seemed good enough for was a late night creep. No one wanted to make Christy their main girl, and take her out on dates and buy her gifts.

“
How long your cousin gonna be around? She gonna be cock blocking?” Buck asked as she freely roamed Christy’s body on the busy street.

Christy giggled. The only time she felt sexy was when a boy talked to her. Any boy. “She not blocking nothing. She cool.”

“
Call me later. We need to make a run.” He tried to look important as he looked toward Meech. “Meech, we got that thang to do.”

Meech looked at Buck and nodded his head. “Look, baby girl, I gotta make some moves.”

Lexi froze for a moment. Baby girl was what Bank Roll always called her. She took a deep breath, put on her game face, and quickly gained her composure. “That’s cool, daddy. I understand when a man has to make moves.”

“
What’s your cell number?”

“
I don’t have one. Just call my cousin or something. You gonna call, right?”

Meech’s head was gassed up from Lexi. “Imma come through tomorrow with something for you.”

“
I’ll be waiting.” Meech and Buck jumped in the gold Mercedes and rolled out. “Please, tell me you not fucking that dirty looking nigga,” Lexi said as they walked in the store.

“
He not…Buck cool.”

Lexi frowned. “Ugh, so you
are
fucking him? I hella hope I just caught him on a bad day. How much money he give you?”

Christy laughed. “Ahh…Lexi, bitch, I been…these niggas know…”

Lexi raised her hand. “Just save that shit. You ready to roll with the big dogs or what?” Christy looked at Lexi and was ready to start her lying stuttering, but Lexi stopped her. “I’m about to show you some shit.”

When Elizabeth got home, the girls were in the family room watching a movie and eating popcorn in their PJs. She knew Christy would be a good influence on Lexi.

The next night, Buck and Christy chilled in the car while Meech and Lexi sat on the porch. In his eyes, she was young and dumb. He vowed to fill her with so much cum she wouldn’t know what to do. The day before when he asked for Lexi’s cell number and she said she didn’t have one, he knew the perfect gift for her. He proudly and presented her with a cell phone of her own and one hundred dollars to get her hair and nails done.

“
Wow, thank you so much,” Lexi said with enthusiasm. She acted like he had given her a gem that was precious and priceless.

Meech smiled cockily. “I told you I would show you the world being my girl. There is more of that if you act right.”

“
Oh, a phone? You shouldn’t have. I’ve been wanting one of these things since forever.” It was actually her first cell phone because she didn’t feel the need for one. It was a nice trinket to have.

“
There you go, lil’ momma.”

Lexi jumped on his lap and gave him a kiss. Meech had to pull back and get a hold of himself. He wasn’t sure if Lexi was feeling him like that or what, but the kiss she gave him made his body tingle.

“
Damn, lil’ momma, how you learn to use that tongue like that?”

Lexi gave him a sly smile as she walked toward the house. She turned around and looked at Meech. “I know a few thangs about a few thangs.” Meech jumped in the car as Christy got out and headed in the house. “What that nigga bring you?” Lexi asked.

“
What you mean?”

Lexi smacked her lips. “Don’t tell me you was over there suckin’ that dirty ass nigga dick and you ain’t even get shit from him.”

“
Who said…I wasn’t…girl…”

Lexi gave her a straight face. “I know when a bitch sucking dick.”

Christy let out a nervous laugh. “I was…just…”

“
Look, I gives a damn how many dicks you suck. I’m just saying if you sucking dick, ‘specially a dirty dick, you need to get paid. I ain’t do shit for that nigga Meech and he gave me a phone, and a punk ass C note to get my hair and nails done.” Lexi laughed. “Here, you can have this shit. At least you can say you at least got something from somebody.” Lexi tossed the hundred dollar bill toward Christy and she quickly grabbed it.

“
Damn, what you been doing to Meech?”

“
Bitch, was you not listening? I just met the nigga yesterday, I ain’t do shit.” She turned to face Christy. “Yet. By the time I’m done, that nigga won’t know what hit him.”

They sat in the living room. “Lexi…umm, was you really…”

“
What? Selling ass? At some point, we all sell ass whether we wanna admit it or not. For the most part, I wasn’t a hoe on the streets or no shit like that. Bank Roll took care of me and he taught me how to be the coldest bitch out here. I got several ways to make money. Real money. If you got some sense, you’ll watch and learn.”

“
I like fucking,” Christy said out of nowhere. “I like the attention.”

Lexi shook her head. “You need some self esteem. How long you been letting niggas fuck for free?”

“
I been fucking about three or four years.”

Lexi perked up. “So, who you been fucking?”

“
I fucked a couple of my teachers. Dudes that be around my sisters’ places.”

“
And, none of them niggas be paid?” Lexi asked as if she was in disbelief. She shook her head. “You just like my fuckin’ sister. Out there chasin’ nuts and shit. You betta get ya head on right.”

“
So what if I like fuckin’.”

“
You can lead a horse to water.” Lexi went to her room.
Hmm, so that hoe been fucking teachers and shit, huh? She just need management. I need to see how strong my pimp hand is.

Christy looked at the money Lexi gave her.
That bitch know she sucked his dick or something. He ain’t just give her no money for a fuckin’ kiss. I can get paid hella more than her young ass.

“
Buck, lemme holla at you,” Lexi said a couple of days later when she saw him at the corner store.

“
What up.”

Lexi crossed her arms. “How much is the pussy worth to you?”

Buck laughed. “I ain’t paying for no pussy.”

Lexi looked him up and down. He had trick written all over him. “Unless you tighten up your game, the only way you gonna get some good pussy is to pay for it. Now, unless you want me to clown you next time you around and make my cousin never talk to you, you better break me off two hundred.”

Buck waved her off. “Bitch, you trippin’.”

She got closer to him. “Try me. Not only will you not be lying up on my cousin’s fat ass titties, no bitch around here will fuck you. You gotta pay to play, daddy,” she said in a whisper.

Lexi walked in the store without giving him a chance to respond. When she left, she knew he was sitting in his car thinking hard. She laughed on the inside. He wanted pussy, so he was going to pay.

“
You trying to fuck Buck tonight?” Lexi asked point blank when she got in the house.

“
Yea, I need some dick.”

“
He gave you shit lately?”

“
I told you I ain’t tripping on none of that.”

“
We gonna play a little game with these niggas tonight. Straight up, you can’t give a nigga all your time. There could be bigger, better niggas out there. We ‘bout to go to the mall.”

Christy looked like she was about to cry. “But, Buck said they was gonna come over around four or five.”

Lexi gave her a look with her arms crossed over her chest. “Do it look like I give a fuck?”

“
What if Meech give you some more money or something?”

“
Read my lips. Do. It. Look. Like. I. Give. A. Fuck. Bitch, get dressed so we can bounce.”

“
I am dressed.”

Lexi looked at Christy’s attire. She had on jeans and a plain t-shirt with shiny black shoes. “Mary Poppins, you ain’t going no damn where with me lookin’ like that.”

They went in Christy’s room to find something. Nothing she had looked good to Lexi, so they went in Chrisette’s old room to see if there was something there.

“
Chrisette don’t like nobody fucking with her stuff.”

Lexi rolled her eyes and smacked her lips. “Chrisette bitch ass ain’t here, is she? You need stand up for yourself. The bitch left her shit, so she must don’t want it.”

Going in her closet, Lexi found some things to work with. She found a cute shirt with shoes and a purse to match. She picked out a pair of dark Guess jeans Christy had.

When she came down the stairs, Lexi looked her over. She had braided Christy’s hair the day before out of boredom and the blond mixed in looked good. Standing there with a gold and blue shirt that hung off one shoulder and gold sandals, she looked satisfactory. They could see anyone while they were out and Lexi wasn’t going to be with anyone looking stupid.

“
Damn, what you got on?”

Lexi had on booty shorts with a cut off shirt and heels. “Bitch, this is how you work it.” The look had come straight from the latest video Lexi had seen and the girl was working it.

“
We walking down MacAuthor with you looking like that?”

“
What better way to come up? Let’s go.”

Lexi loved walking because she could check out the scenery, and see who was doing what and where. “Shit, I gotta find a nigga with a car,” Lexi said. She knew she should have taken one of the cars Bank Roll had. She was owed that, but she let it be.
