URBAN: Chosen By A Kingpin (36 page)

“What’s up?” Lionel looked sad as she sat next to him in the pizza shop.

“What’s wrong?” She asked putting her hand over his. “You look so down.”

“It’s nothing I want to talk about right now.”

“Are you sure? I know we haven’t really been on the best of terms, but I do still care about you.”

“Oh? You care about me? Is that why you tossed a nigga to the side like he was a piece of trash?”

“I’m sorry, I was taking things too far, but I just get real sensitive about my parents.”

“And I don’t feel no type of way about my Uncle. You threw him back at me like he didn’t mean shit to me just because he wasn’t my Dad. That was real fucked up of you.”

“I’m sorry.”

“And now you want to apologize? I apologized to you and you didn’t even say a word.”

“Look, I had no excuse for my behavior.”

“I was acting like a-”

“A bitch?” He said in a mean tone.

“No. I was actually going to say that I was acting like a child but since I’m such a bitch, how about I get up and let you get arrested?”

She got up and started to leave the small restaurant. Lionel held her arm but she just snatched it back.

“What are you talking about?” He asked.

“I’m talking about the two cops that came to see you.”

“What?” He shook his head. “What would they want with me?”

“Nothing with you, but they want Antwon. Antwon killed Martin.”

“Oh wow.” Lionel tried to give his best shock face, but she saw right through it.

“Did you know that?”

“I just found out.” He confessed. He thought about lying, but he hated to lie.

“And you didn’t tell me.”

“I just found out.”

“So, what are you going to do?”

“What do you mean?”

“About Antwon?” She whispered. The restaurant was empty, which was rare, but she didn’t want to take any chances that someone might hear their conversation.

“Nothing.”

“Nothing? How can you say nothing?”

“Easy.” He leaned back in the booth. When he saw the look on her face, he asked, “What do you expect me to do?”

“Anything is better than nothing. How can you do nothing?”

“Because there’s nothing that I can do. What’s done is done.” He told her.

“And what about Antwon?”

“I don’t know where he is.”

“I don’t believe you.”

“What?”

“The two of ya are as thick as thieves. Ya are like brothers. There is no way in hell that you don’t know where Antwon is.”

“I’m telling you the truth.” He defended himself. “I just came from his place and he really cleaned out and left. He’s gone and I don’t even know where he is.”

Lionel got really quiet and Giselle believed him. As he sat there being somber, Giselle felt herself feel sorry for him. Even though she didn’t exactly get Antwon, she knew that Lionel loved him like a brother. It was clear that he was hurting. All the anger and resentment went away.

“You need to get home and rest.” She suggested.

“What home? I don’t want to go back there. The cops are only going to be back there until they find me. It’s a good thing that my Mom is taking some classes at night, so maybe she won’t be bothered by them. I don’t want to deal with them right now.” He sighed rubbing his head. He could feel the headache before it even arrived.

“All they are going to ask you is about Antwon.” She rubbed his back.

“And when that time comes, I’ll tell them the truth, but I can’t right now. I just want to be by myself.”

“Oh.”

“Or I can just hang out with you.” He looked up at her. He saw that same beautiful young lady from the hall. She didn’t have those same lost look in her eyes anymore though. In the short time she’s been there, she’s changed tremendously.

“You want to hang out with me?”

“Of course.” He smiled and she grinned back. “Come on, I think I know just the place.”

As they stood outside of the Marriott in Downtown Brooklyn, Giselle shook her head.

“Every time you bring me to a hotel room, you end up leaving me the next day.” She joked.

“Yeah I know.” He smiled. “Usually something to do with Antwon.” He let out all the air from his nose. He sighed slightly. “It’s going to be weird.”

“It sure is, you won’t have anyone to get into trouble with anymore.” She stuck her tongue out. She led the way to the front desk. After they checked in, they settled into the room.

Giselle started to take off her jeans and kick off her shoes. Lionel stared at her. Her thick thighs and hips always caught his attention. Tasha was a woman, but Giselle wasn’t shaped like a girl either. He may have been attracted to Tasha, but Giselle clearly had his heart.

“What are you doing?” He asked her as she cuddled underneath the covers.

“I’m old school. I can’t go to bed with my outside clothes on, at least not my jeans.” She got comfortable. “Why? Is that a problem?” She giggled.

“No, it’s not.”

“Does this,” She snatched the covers off of her, “make you uncomfortable?”

“It makes it a little hard to concentrate.”

“I bet something is hard.”

He pulled off his shirt and got out of his jeans. He kneeled on the bed.

“You playing games?” He asked her pulling her body by her legs.

“And what game would that be?” She flirted with him.

“You think you’re grown.”

“Technically I almost am an adult. I think I can enjoy adult things.” She pulled his body on top of hers. “I missed you.” She confessed.

“I missed you too.”

They started kissing and making out like they did when they first got with each other. The spark between them was still intense. There was just this great amount of chemistry that neither of them could deny. How could two total opposites get along like they did? All the crazy circumstances that caused them to meet and everything that stood in their way, seemed almost impossible. As he kissed her skin and ventured between her legs, he thought of the coincidences that led her to live right next door.

“Keep your legs open.” He instructed her as she squirmed. The more times he tasted her, the more she got used to him, but she could never get used to the tingling sensation it sent through her body. It made her shimmy and shake as his tongue invaded her folds. He kissed her clit and she jumped up. As his rhythm got faster, her hips moved as well. It didn’t take long before she grabbed on his shoulders and rode the waves of passion that he was giving on to her. Her body moved like a snake and just when she thought she could hold out for more, his tongue pulsed on her button, she caved in.

She was catching her breath when he came on top of her again. She wrapped her legs around him. The fact that she could see how much he wanted her, only turned her on even more. She felt like something was taking over her.

“Let me get on top.” She told him. He complied and let her climb on top of him. He tried to help her, but his hands were slapped away. She didn’t want any help. She slowly let him enter her. Although she was very moist, it was still tight to put him in. She finally got him all the way in. She slowly moved her hips back and forth. She held on to his chest so that she could have more strength.

Lionel watched her close her eyes. She was enjoying herself. As she got used to it some more, she moved her hips faster. Then she started popping her butt up and down on him.

“Oh shit.” He cursed. He wasn’t expecting that from her. He looked up and she pulled out her long hair from the ponytail. She looked like a model on top of him. He reached up and touched her face. He grabbed her in for a deep kiss. As she got into it, he started to move his hips up and down.

With their foreheads touching each other, they panted in each other’s faces. She was holding on to his shoulders, but still moving along with him. She sighed as she couldn't take anymore and fell against him. He didn’t stop at all. He went faster and it took her from painting to screaming in his ear.

“Am I going too rough?” He asked her slowing down.

“Don’t stop.” She panted.

“You like it like that?” He pulled out and flipped her on her stomach. He went inside her and fast. “Then you’ll love it like this.” He slammed against her and she just moaned into the bed. She grabbed the pillow to muffle her sounds. She took in a deep breath and then let out a loud moan as she climaxed.

Hearing her enjoy herself made him love it even more. He propped her on all fours and kept going until he felt that he was going to climax himself. He held on and tried to enjoy some more. Just how tight and wet she was, wasn’t making it easy for him to hold on. He hated to admit it, but she was making him weak in many different ways. He climaxed and fell against the bed.

“That better be the first and last quickie we ever have. I plan to always take my time with you.” He boasted.

“Whatever you have to tell yourself to make yourself feel better, you go ahead and do it.”

They started to watch TV. Giselle was just about to nod off when she suddenly remembered Ms. Rita.

“I forgot to tell you about that crazy crackhead.” She chirped up. “She said something crazy.”

“Well she would being a crazy crackhead that she is. What did she say?”

“She said that I was supposed to die.”

“What?” Lionel sat up. “Did that bitch threaten you?”

“I don’t think so. I just think she was talking out of her ass.”

“Nah, I can’t put nothing past that bitch ever since she tried to set me up and Antwon took the fall for me. If it wasn’t for her, Antwon would have never got shot and he would have never had to kill that nigga. Fucking bitch.” He felt himself get angry again, but when he saw Giselle’s face, he started to calm down. “What did she say exactly?”

“Well this was right before the cops. She looked at me and said that I got her locked up so that me and my drug dealer boyfriend can run the streets. Then she said that they were supposed to kill me. Whatever. We both know that she is crazy.”

Lionel nodded his head but then he stopped. He was going crazy trying to figure it out. Sure Ms. Rita was crazy but she seemed to always be tangled up in some nonsense. Finally, Lionel got it.

“Oh shit. She wasn’t setting me up.” He turned and looked at Giselle. “It was about you. She set up you.”

“What? That doesn’t make sense.”

“You remember that time she tried to fight you and I threw the drugs at her?”

“Yeah, but I don’t see where you’re going with this.”

“She knew that I had drugs and when she saw you crashing at my house, she knew that we were messing around. She always hated you. I’m guessing when she tried to set me up, she must have added you too.”

“But why didn’t Janine-”

“What? What are you trying to say? Why didn’t she recognize you? You didn’t look like yourself and on top of that, I doubt that nigga really told her what she was doing. The way he was bossing her around, she just knew things last minute.”

“So, Ms. Rita tried to get me killed?” She asked but she already knew the answer. She felt herself tear up but she told herself that she was done. “I’m not even gonna shed a fucking tear.” She said out loud. “That’s so fucked up.”

“What you going to do?” He asked her.

Giselle thought about it. A part of her wanted revenge. She wanted to go find her guns blazing in the same style of Antwon, but she knew that wasn't smart. Look at Antwon now, he was on the run and no one knew where he was. She didn’t want that life, especially not over Ms. Rita. She wasn’t going to ruin her plans and definitely she wasn’t going to lose her life over it.

“So, what you going to do?” He asked her again.

“I’m getting the fuck out of New York.”

Lionel swept the wide living room. This house was ten times the size of the apartment that he lived in. He couldn’t believe how much had changed in six months, but then he thought about how his life changed so much in the last two years. He was a different man. He went from struggling to find a job, to drug dealing, and to now being in this house. He knew when he saw this house online that he had to have it. Even though he got it at an auction, he was proud of it. It took some money to repair it, but since he had the money from Antwon, it didn’t hurt his pockets any.

“Wow.” Tasha said as she walked around. “This place looks really nice.” Her heels clicked. “I can’t believe how much it has improved.” She smiled. “It looks like it belongs in some sort of magazine.”

“Damn you know how to make a guy feel good.” He joked grabbing his chest. “Dead ass, I could feel my heart about to leap out.”

“Shut up.” She playfully hit his arm. “But seriously, you did a good job with this.”

“Don’t act like you didn’t help me.”

“I did but damn, it still looks nice.” She took a twirl around. “And speaking of my help, here you are.” She handed him a folder. “With these documents, you can say that you were working at the car rental place with me. So in case they ask you where you got the money…” She left the sentence hanging but he understood what she meant.

“I can’t even tell you how much I appreciate it.” He hugged her. “You always come through for me. I’m so grateful.”

“I know.” She smiled. “Well, I got to go.”

“Hot date?” He asked.

“You know it.” She winked. She walked to the door and as she opened it, Giselle was on the other side.

Giselle looked at the both of them. She immediately hugged Tasha. “Hey! I haven’t seen you in forever!” She smiled. They both started chatting and laughing like old friends. Lionel rolled his eyes.

“There you guys go, cackling like crazy. I thought you had a hot date Tasha, or is it now you want a threesome with the both of us?” He smiled and then opened his jacket. “Because I’m ready baby.”

“Good, Giselle get undressed and you can watch.” She winked again. She then laughed and kissed Giselle on the cheek. “Bye girl.”

Giselle waved goodbye to her friend and then went to playfully hit Lionel, but he moved away at the last second.

“Did you just offer that woman a threesome with us?” She tapped his shoulder.

“What?”

“That will never happen Leo, only in your dreams.” He laughed. “Wow, this house looks great. She said looking at everything. “I hope that everything is perfect.”
