Shorty Got My Head Gone (29 page)

My grandma passed away three months ago, just shortly after my 18th birthday leaving me to step up and be a man to raise my baby brother. Leaving behind all the bullshit, such as chasing hoes, robbing niggas, not going to school just on some dumb shit. Not really caring about nobody or life period. The only life that I cared about is my Grandma’s and my little brother. It broke me down and made me realize it was more important to show my brother how to be a man and make sure he never had to want for anything.

I got up from the couch "Yo I'm bout to make this play really quick, you wanna come," I asked A-town walking towards the hallway.

"Yea, lets ride," he said standing up from the couch.

"Alright hold up I be right back" I walked down the hall to my brother's room and knocked on the door.

"Come in," he shouted. I opened up the door seeing him lotion down his feet just before putting his socks on.

"Aye I'm bout to head out really quick I'll be right back but I'll be heading back out later on tonight, Yana gone be here with you. Pizza's on its way it should be here any minute."

"Alright bruh I love you, I'll see you later be safe," He says as he buttoned up his night shirt.

"I love you too, you be good you hear me,"

"I'm always good, what you talking about?"

I chuckled "Yea Ok," I said as I closed the door.

I walked down the hall to my room and shut the door behind me. I walked to the closet and slid my clothes to the left to get to my safe that was resting on the floor. I punched in the code and grabbed a half of pound of weed on the right hand side. I closed the safe and placed the weed in my black backpack.

I slung the backpack over my shoulder walk out the room into the living room. "Let's bounce," I spoke walking out the living room with A-town following behind me.

Ashley

Barely clothed in nothing but a navy blue bra and panties set by Victoria's secret, I was standing in the bathroom in front of my large Carrera marble designer sink, looking in the mirror while I pinned up my hair.

"So what you gone do, you gone get dressed at my house or you going to be ready before you get here" I asked talking to Kieara on the phone.

Tonight we're going out to that white girl house party for her birthday. I really don't know her name because I keep forgetting, so I just call her Becky. Since she'd invited me to attend Wednesday and gave me an invitation asking me if I was going earlier today, I said "yes" if I could bring someone along with me. She assured I could so I invited Kieara to come with me.

"Imma get dress here Imma just meet you at your house in about an hour," she spoke on speaker phone.

"Alright then I’ll see you when you get here,"

"Iight, bet," she said before hanging up.

I finished pinning up my hair in pin curls before putting a scarf around it, and a shower cap on top. I just came from the shop about an hour ago and got my weave taken out. I was rocking my natural hair and dyed it back dark brown. I was getting tired of that blonde and I needed for my hair to breath from the weave so I decided to change it up, getting a new do.

I turned on the shower before I stripped out my panties and bra and hopping in, taking a 20-minute shower. Getting out the shower I oiled my body down with coconut oil before drying off, then went to the sink to brush my teeth. I put on my pink silk robe, tying the belt around my upper waist before going into the room.

Already having my clothes laid out on my bed I went to the dresser to do my makeup. Not putting on much, I did my eyebrows, my lids in a light smoky eye with nude eye shadow and a pinch of gold. I put on eyeliner and mascara and some Pure Zen nude lipstick from mac to complete my look.

After I finished up with my makeup I selected a pair of black laced high waist panties from the drawer and put them on. After, I got dressed. in a nude Jessie Bodysuit with a deep and wide cutout, giving LIFE. I wore some white, high waist jeans, stopping right above my ankles, with some sexy nude lace up high heel stopping right below my jeans. Setting it off I put on some gold bangles and small gold hugging hoop earrings finishing up my entire look

Taking the Bobby pins out my hair, my pin curls flowed loose right above my shoulders. I neatly parted my hair with a deep side part, allowing the top curls to flow down the right side of my face. I finger combed my hair then shook it giving it more volume.

I looked at the clock on the wall and it was 11. I went to the bathroom to get my phone to call Kieara.

"Yo, I'm pulling up at your house right now. I’ll be in front in 30 seconds." She said without giving me a chance to speak.

"Iight I be out there in a minute," I say hanging up the phone.

I grabbed my metallic clutch I bought from Aldo putting some hand sanitizer, lip stick, mascara, purse size lotion and body spray, 400 dollars, my license two tampons one pantie liner and some sensitive wipes, inside my purse. I wasn't on my period but you just never know when mother nature just wants to pop up on your ass. A couple of times that bitch popped up on me unexpectedly, I be like 'damn bitch you bout THREE days early, what the fuck you doing here?

I got on white pants tonight and I don't got time for those type of problems, but it's always best to stay prepared because you just never know.

I picked up my phone from off the bed and turned off the lights before heading out. Stepping out the house I see Kieara and Teeko Parked in the driveway, in a white Camaro parked behind my car. As I'm walking up Kieara got out the car with a Louis Vuitton duffle bag in her hand.

"Hey I need to put this in the house really quick before we go," She said walking up to me.

"Man I don't feel like going back in that house just put it in my car and we get it out when we get back," I said popping the trunk.

While she placed her bag in the back of my trunk, I walked the drive side unlocking the door. Before opening it I turned around shooting a bird at Teeko while she was still sitting in the car.

She rolled down the window "Ashley come here girl," she shouted out the window.

"No fuck you Teeko with your fake ass. I haven't seen or heard from your ass in forever, I see you don't fuck with me anymore,"

"Man you a got damn lie, bring yo ass here," she said opening up her car door stepping her foot out.

I walked up to the door standing next to Kieara "What Teeko," I placed my hands on my hips.

"Man I been, trying to get up with your ass but everything time I hit you up I never get a response so I was like fuck it." she motion her hand in a I don't know motion still sitting in the car

"When because I haven't received nothing, you must have been calling the wrong number."

"Your number is 586-6600 right,"

"No fooL it's 0066," Kieara shouted. "You so slow you been calling the wrong number this whole time. Laughing my ass off," She said bursting out laughing.

"Nigga you the slow one, talking about laughing my ass off," Teeko said grabbing Kieara leg.

"Shut Up y’all both slow, anyways Teeko you ain't riding with us to this little party?" I ask holding on to her door.

"Naw I'm bout to head to Palmdale with my brother to host this Party out there at some club. Won't be back until Monday... But aye y’all I got's to bounce, I was supposed to been left but this chick here had me ripping and running every got damn where, I'm late. He blowing me up right now." She looked down at her phone.

"Alright then I Holla at ya. & hit me up with the right number this time," I stepped as she closed the door.

"I bout to in just a second" she turned her head towards Kieara "What you doing just standing there come here."

Kieara walked up to the door and bent down giving Teeko a kiss as she poked her head out through the window.

"I see you later alright," Kieara said Stepping back from the car.

"Alright I call you when I touch down."

I looked at the both of them and dropped my mouth "Damn what's this?"

"Girl mind yo business" Teeko giggled a she put her car in reverse.

"Nawl, hell nawl, when was y’all going to tell me?"

"Now you know," Keira smiled cheesing hard as fuck.

Teeko pulled out the driveway and me and Kieara stepped foot in my car.

I cranked my ignition and pulled out the driveway. I put Becky address into my navigation and saw that she stayed just around the corner from me.

I pulled up to a big black gate with two young men standing out in front in red and black. One of them walked up to my window and asked "Do you have an invitation," I pulled out my invitation and handed it to him and then he handed it back to me. The other guy motioned his hand for us to drive through the gate.

I drove up a steep hill riding up to a bunch of vehicles parking behind a dark grey Toyota. We hopped out the car checking out our outfits, making sure we were straight. We walked up to the door as the music got louder.

There was another young man standing in front of the door holding a tray with some type of pink drink in a tall wine glass that had strawberries and lemons, at the bottom of the glass. Handing each of us a glass and opening the door, we walked through and saw that it was low-key thick as fuck.

Stepping inside it was kind of dark but we could still see that it was beautifully decorated with unique white teardrop lights dangling from the tall ceilings throughout the whole house.

Checking out the house and scoping out the scene we made our way through the crowd of people and ended up in a big hall where we ran into Becky.

"Oh hey Ashley I see you made it. Are you enjoying yourself," she said holding a cup of liquor in her hand with a smell coming off her breath.

I see she already turnt up for her birthday, shit I don't blame her because when my 18th birthday hit, Imma be all the way turnt up.

"Happy birthday, and yes we enjoying our self. I see you turning up."

"Hell yea shit, you only turn 18 once boo" she took another sip from her cup. "I don't know if y’all drink or not but if y’all want some alcohol, it's some in the backyard. Go down the hall to the right passed the kitchen through the sliding doors" she took another sip from her drink "Y’all enjoy ya'selves now," she shouted over the music as she Dashed through the crowd.

In need of a drink we made our way towards the back yard. it was just as much people out back as it was on the inside. We made ourselves a cup of peach Cîroc and stood on the patio vibing to the music and peeping out the crowd. I ain't see to many black people but it was a mixture of everything; whites, blacks, Persians, Armenians, Latino's and all. It seems like everyone was enjoying themselves.

As I take a sip of my drink I scope the scene over my glass, and low and behold who do I see looking low-key fine. Dwayne, wearing a red shirt with black long leather sleeves, black fitted jeans with a red and black Chicago fitted cap, red and gold plated Giuseppe Zanotti Belt along with all red Giuseppe Zanotti gold double clasp high sneakers, rocking two gold chains and two gold rings on his pinky and index finger.

I turned to Kieara "Aye come with me real quick I see somebody I know,"

"Who" She said looking around trying to figure out who I was talking about.

"Him right there," I pointed my finger towards the fence where he was standing.

"Damn he's cute, who that," she asked looking me up and down

"My study partner,"
