"She ain't even like that, that's the only time ion feel the need to look over my fuckin shoulder. I can talk to her and she don't talk over me, she don't ask me a million questions to try to understand she just understands. It just feels different with her, she lets me be me-"
"Because she's a fuckin monster! Xzander-"
"True I really ain't tryina hear that, I ain't doin nothin just let it go." He said avoiding the subject, neither one of them were listening to each other, and Xzander would do what he wanted anyways so True didn't understand why she decided to waste her breath. "You would like her if you and Gia weren't close." Xzander said as he pulled his phone out his pocket after feeling it vibrate.
Sasha 💛: Going out of town for a week, I told West to give you the key to my front door. I will see you when I get back baby boy. (1:23 PM)
For some reason that made Xzander a little sad, he didn't show the emotion though. He didn't bother to even tell her he didn't want her to go, instead he played it cool like it didn't matter that all of a sudden he felt an empty void.
Alright see you whenever..(1:25 PM)
"Can I stay here?" He asked his older sister he still wasn't ready to face Gia.
"This where you shoulda been staying in the first place." True responded. "Make yourself at home Xzander." She said. "I love you."
"I love you too." He says back meaning it, she hugged his torso laying her head on his chest as his arms wrapped around her. His phone vibrated again and he pulled it out of his pocket, he kept one arm around his sister as he read the message from Sasha.
Sasha 💛: I will see you the day I get back to Compton not no whenever Xzander. (1:30 PM)
Alright Sasha. (1:31 PM)
Sasha 💛: You mad at me or something? Wyd? (1:32 PM)
At my sister house. You ain't tell nobody you was goin outta town, you just hit me with this shit today. (1:33 PM)
Sasha 💛: When I planned this trip I didn't know you existed X don't even act like that. (1:34 PM)
Alright Sasha Imma see you the day you get back. (1:35 PM)
"Who got yo heart racing like that?" True asked
"Sasha just pissed me off." X replied
"You like her Xzander? Is it more than you just wanting to fuck?" True asked
"No. You know the closest thing I get to anything like that is Gia." He quickly denied and True could tell he was lying.
"It's a shame how you treat that girl won't even tell her you love her."
"Cause I don't I ain't gone start lying now." He responded.
Sasha pulled up to True's house, she left her car running and she got out strutting to the front door. She opened the screen door knocking on True's door. She was going to leave without seeing Xzander but after the way he reacted she knew she needed to see him before she left.
The door opened and True stood there with a disgusted look on her face, "Girl what you doin on my porch?"
"Tell Xzander to come here I don't have time for the hate today powderpuff girl I'm on a timed schedule." Sasha said
"Xzander yo lil hoe is here!" True called out rolling her eyes, and Sasha chuckled.
Within seconds True walked away from the door Xzander stepped out onto the porch closing his sister's door behind him. "How do you know where True live?"
"My brother is fucking her, I know where all the lil bitches he got stay." Sasha responded. "No disrespect to your sister." Sasha said knowing how important True was to Xzander. That was the only reason she hadn't gotten any dirt on True. She wouldn't cross that line, for some reason she respected Xzander and she wouldn't cross him like she would anybody else.
"What you doin here?" He asked
"I didn't want to leave without seeing my cry baby." She replied and he tried to fight the smile but it only grew as he looked away from Sasha. She stepped closer to him grabbing his face, "Don't brush me off if you mad about something you need to let shit be known, the way you acted in them text messages was unnecessary all you had to say was you didn't want me to leave."
"Where you goin?" He asked
"I will be back." She opened her arms. "Give me a hug baby."
"So you ain't hear my question?"
"I don't have to answer to you, you have a girl and I ain't it but I will FaceTime you when I land and you can call or text me anytime I'll reply." She says and he shrugged it off.
"Aight Sasha bye."
"Boy stop and give me a hug." She replied back, and her arms wrapped around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her torso hugging her. "West has they key to my house okay, if you need to get away from everybody for a while the house is yours until I get back, okay?" Sasha said knowing how Xzander is, when he didn't want to be found he went to Sasha's house and she didn't mind that. She got his favorite snacks and even cleared out a drawer for him. She didn't mind Xzander invading her space because most of the time it was like he wasn't there and when he was he stayed out her way.
It wasn't what everybody else thought it was, though the sexual attraction was there nobody understood the two of them but each other. They most of the time didn't even talk it just felt good to be in each other's presence, it felt good to have somebody who accepted you for you around.
"You really gone be gone a week?" X asked
"Yea I got some business to handle and it's too many eyes on us right now I need the attention off of me." She answered
"Xzander what the fuck!" Gia's voice shouted angrily as she got out of her car seeing her boyfriend hugging Sasha.
Sasha let X go and turned around to finally see the one she kept hearing so much about, "You must be Gia." Sasha said with a wide grin.
"And you must be Sasha, Xzander you said-"
"I was huggin her she leavin to go outta town I told you we just friends ain't nobody cheating on yo stupid ass!" X responded And Sasha's eyebrow went up when she noticed Gia shy away like she was the one in the wrong.
"Don't talk to her like that X." Sasha said turning to look at him, she actually felt halfway bad for the girl. "Imma go so y'all can talk, and yes boo I am Sasha. Whatever you heard about me it is true. You're cuter in person, I got a flight to catch I'll call you X."
Gia slid over in front of Sasha and Sasha drew her gun from her waist, "Don't call him, y'all ain't friends no more and I mean that." Gia spoke sternly, her eyes connected with Sasha's. She seen the same thing she seen when she looked into Xzander's eyes, nothing.
"I shoot first and never ask questions I suggest you move and don't give me orders like you own somebody." Sasha said as she grabbed a handful of Gia's hair yanking her head back forcing the gun in her mouth. "You wanna try me?" Sasha asked and Xzander pulled her back and put Gia behind him.
"Go ahead Sash Imma call you." Xzander said.
"Yeah you better get her." Sasha said before she put her gun back on her waist making her way back to her car. She got in and sped off before she did something she regretted.
Chapter 7
Compton, California:
"Did she say where she was going?" Jessie asked Gia
"No she just said she had a flight to catch, Jessie she put a fuckin gun in my mouth who the fuck is this bitch? Where did she come from?" Gia asked
"Houston, she runs the south. Down south she can do no wrong, and she can get away with murder. It's like she's fuckin royalty or something. When Sasha disappears she has a vendetta and we just pissed her off." Jessie said chuckling
"We got one chance to take her out-"
"Woah don't y'all think y'all taking this too far? I ain't sign up for taking nobody out-"
"Gia don't worry about it, me and Terrance got this you just work on fixing your relationship with Xzander."
"I know you Tyrone's girl and all, but he made it clear a year ago when Sasha took out Chug nobody was to touch Sasha." Gia reminded her sister
"Tyrone ain't nobody I'm scared of he ain't the boss of shit, don't forget he got a boss too-"
"Yeah but Xzander is back stupid ass. Ain't nobody stupid enough to go after Tyrone." Gia spoke up.
"Look you know I'm down but you don't take a shot at the queen and miss cause if we miss? That's it ain't no other chance cause Sasha never slips up the same way twice. Besides she said she wasn't sleepin with dude and she ain't the type to lie on her pussy so we sure this what we wanna do before we move forward?" Terrance asked
"No." Gia said
"Yes." Jessie argued
"Two out votes one so.." Terrance said
"Ha!" Jessie said
"I was agreeing with Gia." Terrance said looking at Jessie. "You gotta pick yo battles wisely Jess and Sasha ain't got no soul, we go after her and kill her she not gone beg for her life, she not gone beg us to let her go, and she not gone let us take her without a fight so we might not all die but one of us is guaranteed to die. You willing to lose one of us to hurt somebody who honestly ain't even worried about you or you."
"No it's not worth it, me and Xzander will be okay just let it go Jess." Gia answered
"Fine, but imma keep an eye on her." Jessie said and she wanted to be okay with letting this go but her and Sasha had deeper beef and nobody knew but the two of them. The only thing that kept Jessie back from Sasha was the fact that she was well respected in any hood she stepped in and that meant people would hunt Jessie down if they found out she had killed Sasha, but what if they never found out?
"And I think it's time for me to pay X a visit. Where he at?" Terrance asked
"His sister's house and don't do or say anything stupid Terrance, Xzander is a lot more dangerous now than he was when he was 16." Gia sighed
"Lord knows I miss True fine ass that gives me an excuse to go see her."
"And this is why Tyrone don't like you, you know West and True got something goin on right?" Jessie asked
"What that got to do with me?" Terrance asked before he let himself out.
"I'm gonna handle Sasha. If you change your mind you're more than welcome to join I'll call you later okay?" Jessie said
West sighed looking over at True who was sleeping through someone knocking on her door. He chuckled before he got up throwing the blanket off of him, he pulled his basketball shorts on and made his way out of her bedroom. The knocking started again as he jogged down the steps, "Man I'm comin!" West shouted and he unlocked the door opening it seeing Terrance.
"Where X at?" Terrance asked getting to the point
"Nigga I'm not tellin you, go ask yo sister."
"She said he was here."
"Well he ain't."
"Where True at ion gotta talk to you bruh this ain't even yo shit." Terrance responded, and West didn't even bother to entertain Terrance he closed the door locking it. He knew Terrance wanted True, there had been some silent animosity between the two for a while and it was all over True.
West wasn't worried about any other dude that stepped into her life, rather she did get into a relationship or not he knew when he called she was coming and vice versa. He had no reason to be bothered and he wasn't gone start now. He jogged back upstairs, he made his way into the bedroom.
He picked his phone up from the nightstand, he unlocked his phone and went to Xzander's contact calling him. He laid back down and True rolled over laying her head on his chest, and her leg rested across his stomach as she dozed back off.
"Wassup." X answered, he sat his game controller down pausing his game.
"Yo Cruise lookin for you man, he came bangin on yo sister door. I'm guessin he about to play big brother and check yo ass about Gia or some."
"Yeah okay." X said not liking the sound of somebody looking for him he didn't play that shit. "Imma hit you later bruh keep my sister safe."
"Always." West replied and X hung his phone up. He picked the game controller back up, and pressed play on his game of Fallout.
He was at Sasha's and he was at peace, nobody was here and nobody disturbed him unless he decided to answer the phone. He was still missing Sasha, the way she would play in his curls while he played the game, or how she listened to him talk endlessly and never complained, sometimes she understood that he just needed somebody there and she never forced him to change. It had only been 3 days and it felt like forever. He paused his game and picked his phone up he wanted to talk to Sasha.
Sasha was staring at the Alarm specialists plan, "I want cameras at the entrances. The gates are fine and tall, I want cameras at every entrance and one on each house. I don't need cameras in the house unless they want them." She explained, The Governor had set her up real nice in a community exactly like she had asked for. She wanted hr own community, a nice little safe space for her and her crew. She had it gated, with security sitting at entrances. She had finally finished making this her safe space, this community housed up to 12,000 families.
"Ms. Abdul, nice to meet you finally. I talked with he governor and I guess the Houston PD is at your service." The sheriff said from his window. "We'll keep our eyes and ears open for you." He reassured her.
"Right on." Sasha replied and she rolled her eyes. "I gotta stop hangin around X."
"Yeah you startin' to sound like him." Jru explained. "The girls Lucky had that she was helping traffick are here and I got them all settled in into the empty houses. We got 10 more empty houses to fill, and Kels is working with everybody." Jru explained. Sasha and her team were stopping this ring slowly but surely. Freeing the victims and giving them an option to work for Sasha or go free on their own. Sasha was a fair person, she helped people start over and majority of the entrapped victims were immigrants promised a better life in America and forced into prostitution and sex trafficking.
"Okay, the ladies that are trained and ready to go? Go to Jodie and Lucky in New York. That should be 20 of them, the next group is going to Los Angeles with Cara, and the last group will stay here, and the guys that are done to-" Her phone started ringing and she stopped talking pulling her phone from her back pocket. "Hey boo, everything okay?" Sasha asked as she quickly answered Xzander's phone call.
"When you comin back?" He asked ignoring her question.
"You love not answering my questions boy, Imma be back in 4 days."
"What about tomorrow? Can you be back tomorrow?" He asked making her chuckle.
"I'll see what I can do for you Xzander." She replied.
"Alright call me before you go to sleep tonight."
"I will, you at my house?" She asked
"Yeah."
"Mmkay bye boo." Sasha said
"Bye Sash." He said sadly, and she hung her phone up.
"Change of plans, looks like I gotta go. You talk to Kels, she knows how I want things set up." She said to the Alarm Specialist. "Jru send a group of guys to LA, for Loyal and Chris. Send a group of guys to New York for Jodie and Jodie only, and a group to Cara. I need these women protected at all times. Once that's done, you get back down to Seattle and keep eyes on Zanovia. Her and Lily are back at each other's throats and Zanovia is dodging my calls."
"Yes ma'am boss." Jru said, Sasha pulled her phone out dialing Kels number.
“Hello?” Kels answered after the first ring.
