Loyalty Over Royalty (4 page)

Chapter 5

Kyra sat on the passenger side of Notorious’ Impala waiting on him to come out the corner store. (Bzzzz, Bzzzz, Bzzzz), his phone was ringing in the cup holder and had been nonstop since he got out. Kyra was so curious; it took everything in her power not to look at it and answer. They weren’t even together, so she knew she’d be crossing her boundaries. Plus, she knew what he did so she was pretty sure it was just a geek or one of his workers needing to re-up.

After about five more minutes, Notorious returned to the car wearing the biggest Kool-Aid smile on his face. “Why you lookin so goofy?” Kyra asked.

“Oh, nothing major. I just got something to ask you,” he replied.

“Okay, well spit it out already; don’t just sit there lookin stupid,” she said, laughing and somewhat excited.

“Kyra, like on some real shit, you know I like you a lot. For the past few months, we’ve been together every day and I could really get use to this. So basically, I’m asking will you be my girl?” he asked with the straightest face possible, while pulling out a ring he had just bought out the gumball machine in the store.

“Bwhahahahaha, awww how cute,” Kyra said, laughing so hard. “You are such a damn goof troop! But yes, Dorian, I will be happy to be your girl,” she said, as he placed the plastic ring on her hand. He then leaned over and gave her a passionate kiss. (Bzzzz, Bzzzz, Bzzzz) his phone started back ringing interrupting their moment.

“Hold on baby, this Whack, I gotta answer,” he said, looking at his phone. “Wassup nigga?” he spoke, picking up.

“What the fuck nigga! Why you ain’t been answering the fuckin phone? I bee blowing yo ass up! You need to get yo ass to the spot now!” Whack yelled and hung up in his ear.

“FUCK!” Notorious yelled and hit his steering wheel.

“What’s goin on?” Kyra asked in concern.

“I don’t know but I gotta drop you off, I’ll be back for you after I handle this lil situation,” he replied while starting up his car before speeding off.

✴✴✴✴✴

Notorious dropped Kyra off at Grams house with Carmen so he could go right back and get her when he finished his business. His mind was racing a mile a minute. He didn’t know what was going on, but by the way Whack reacted he knew it wasn’t good. As long as all my soldiers still breathing I’m good, anything else can be replaced, he thought to himself as he was speeding trying to make it to the spot as fast as possible. When he pulled up all his goons were standing on the porch as if they were having a meeting. “Wassup what’s all this?” he asked as he was walking up the porch steps.

“Aye boss man, some fucked up shit went down! Whack and Manny on the inside waiting for you.” One of the goons spoke up. When Notorious got on the inside Whack and Manny was sitting at the round table in the middle of the living room. Manny was Notorious’ big cousin on his mother’s side. He had been running the trap since Murder put him in charge, so Notorious kept it that way.

“Can somebody please tell me what the fuck goin on? I’m starting to get real impatient!” Notorious said with frustration.

“That bitch ass nigga Rob and some other lil niggas hit Manny at gun point a lil over an hour ago. Took all the money out the safe and all the work we had here. That’s what the fuck goin on!” Whack responded in rage pacing back and forth across the living room, he was ready to lay nigga down.

“ROB?!” Notorious yelled, he was more so hurt than angry at this point. He had been knowing Rob for years. His pops had dated Rob’s mother a while a few years back and he took him in like a little brother, had been looking out for him ever since.

Little did Notorious know Rob was jealous and really didn’t care for him, and if he had the chance he would take him out with no questions asked.

“How did you even give him the opportunity to catch you slipping?” Notorious asked, looking his cousin in his eyes.

“Come on cuz, you know I run this post alone all day every day; it’s been this way for years. You also know Rob been working with us for years; shit, he supposed to be like family so why wouldn’t I trust him?” Manny replied in his defense.

“The nigga called and said he was coming to re-up on his usual so I said cool. When he came we did the regular. I turned around to put his money in the money counter to check and make sure it was right, when I turned back around, I was staring down the barrel of his and two other niggas guns. Rob told me I knew what it was. He took all the money he gave me back and demanded all the money in the safe and all the dope. Shit, I was out numbered and my pistol was on the table. If I would’ve reached for it, they would’ve blew my head off!” Manny said, shaking his head in disbelief.

“Right, right, you did right,” Notorious said, rubbing his chin as he was taking this all in.

“Then before the nigga dipped, he hit me in the head with his gun and told me to tell you don’t even bother coming to look for him because he out,” He said holding an ice pack on the right side of his head right above his ear.

“So that nigga got a death wish huh.” Notorious stated.

“That’s the same shit I was thinking,” Whack said cocking his 9mm. Notorious wasn’t really worried about the money and dope. The money they took was pennies to him and he had dope for days. He was pissed that Rob was trying to play him for a soft ass nigga, and he wasn’t having that.

“Put the word out, I got fifty grand for whoever bring me that nigga head on a platter!” Notorious said through gritted teeth.

“You ain’t said nothing but a word boss,” one of his goons stated before heading out the door to spread the word.

Chapter 6

(Bzzzz, Bzzzz, Bzzzz) “Hey beautiful, what’s poppin?” Notorious said answering his phone for Kyra.

“Hey babe, what you doing?” she replied.

“Shit, finishing my business up at the spot and I’ll be on my way to you. You need something?” he asked.

“Yes, I’m kinda hungry; can you bring me something to eat on the way please baby?” she asked in her spoiled brat voice.

“No, but you can get dressed and I’ll be there in about 30 to take you out to dinner!” he said back with a slight chuckle.

“Okay, that’s even better! See you in 30,” she replied, smiling so hard that he could hear it in her voice.

“In a minute boo,” he said before hanging up the phone. Notorious pulled up to Kyra’s house in exactly 30 minutes. She was already standing behind the screen door waiting for him, so she seen him pull up.

“Momma, I’m gone!” she yelled and tried to hurry out the door.

“Za’Kyra wait, don’t you leave and I don’t know who you leaving with; it’s dark out!” her mother said, running to the door behind her.

“Ma, it’s just Dorian,” she said in aggravation.

“Well, you been seeing this Dorian an awful lot! Don’t you think it’s time I meet this lil boy?” she asked. “Now, gone out there and tell him come on in,” she demanded.

Kyra was boiling! She knew exactly how her mother was going to react when Dorian stepped foot in her presence. Kyra knew he was polite and respectful to his elders, so that was the least of her worries. She was more so worried bout the way he looked. His whole appearance screamed drug dealer.

“Okay mom gosh! Just please promise to give him a chance before judging him by his looks,” she whined before stomping out the door. When Kyra got to the car, she opened the door and plopped down in the passenger seat with her arms folded and lips poked out. She didn’t even bother to close the door.

“Damn boo, what’s wrong?” Notorious asked curiously.

“Man, we can’t go nowhere yet; my damn momma wanna meet you!” she spat while rolling her neck and eyes.

“Okay kool, what’s wrong with that?” he asked, letting out a little chuckle. This was his first time seeing Kyra pissed off and he thought she was so cute.

“What’s wrong with it is she judgmental as hell; if she don’t like you, we might not be goin nowhere at all!” she cried in frustration.

“Calm down baby girl, just relax. Trust me, mommas love me! When I’m done, she’ll be ready to plan our wedding!” Notorious said, laughing.

Kyra couldn’t help but to laugh. “Yeah okay, Prince Charming, whatever yo silly ass say,” she said.

“Now, let’s do this,” he said before turning off his engine. He kissed Kyra on the forehead, they gave each other dap, hopped out the car, and went into the house to face Kyra’s mom.

When Kyra and Notorious entered the house, her mom was sitting in the living room on the sofa waiting for them. Kyra was so nervous; her heart was beating thorough her throat. When she glanced over at Dorian, he was smiling as if everything was daisies and dolphins.

“Ma, this is Dorian,” Kyra said, breaking the silence. “Dorian, this is my mother, Ms. Jack-”

“Brenda,” her mother interrupted her in mid-sentence, while extending her arm out for a hand shake. BRENDA!? Kyra thought to herself,
this lady don’t let none of my other damn friends call her Brenda! Fuck so different now?
She was so shocked.

“Nice to finally meet you Ms. Brenda,” Notorious said with a warm smile as he placed a kiss on the back of her hand. He expected her to be a little older, but she looked exactly like a taller Kyra. She was beautiful. “Aren’t you just the gentlemen, nice to meet you also,” she said smiling back. So far things were going good. Ms. Brenda looked Notorious up and down, He’s a very nice looking little boy. A lil rugged but I can live with that. I guess I can give him a chance she thought. “So Dorian how old are you?” she asked. “I’m 19 my birthday is May 29, 1977,” he replied hoping that she wouldn’t start flipping out because Kyra was only 15.

“Oh okay that’s not too bad, now if you were 20 I’d have to call the police!” she said jokingly, but Kyra and Notorious didn’t find that funny. Kyra couldn’t believe her mother was being so nice. She was sure this meet and greet was bound to go bad. “So where yawl going tonight?” she asked.

“Oh we’re just going out for food. Kyra said she was hungry so I told her I’d take her to dinner.” Notorious replied.

“Well I have a better idea, yawl should let me cook for yawl,” she said excitedly.

“No mom that’s ok we can go eat, plus you have to be at work soon,” Kyra said hoping her mom would just let them go.

“Well, it’s only 8. I don’t have to be at work til midnight; I can whip up something real quick! And I bet it be better than any place yawl go to!” she said proudly.

“Well, in that case, I’m down,” Notorious said quickly; he never turned down a home cooked meal. He’d take that over a restaurant any day.

“That’s what I’m talkin about Dorian, let momma n law show you how I get down!” she said, throwing up her hand for a high five. Notorious laughed and slapped fives with her. He still couldn’t figure out why Kyra was so nervous for them to meet; she was cool as a fan in his eyes.

“Okay, well yawl go find a movie to watch or do something. I’ll let yawl know when dinner ready,” she said, walking toward the kitchen.

“You trippin boo, yo moms hella kool,” Notorious said with a chuckle.

“Yeah today.” She laughed. What she didn’t know was that her mother knew she expected her to act overprotective, so she did the exact opposite. When her mother was her age, her mother sheltered her and never let her do anything. She promised herself that when she had kids she would be different.

Kyra got up to find a movie. “So, what you wanna watch?” she asked, as she opened the door of the entertainment center.

“Dang, do yawl have enough movies? I was gon ask what yawl got, but what yawl don’t got is the question?” Notorious said, looking at all the movies they had.

“Yeah, my momma love movies,” she said, laughing.

“Ooooh yawl got Friday! That’s my shit boo let’s watch that,” Notorious said, he was too amped. 

“Okay that’s my shit too, so we good,” she said, grabbing the movie so she could put it in the VCR. After she put it in, she turned off the living room light and crawled up under Notorious on the couch. Kyra was actually happy that her mom met and was okay with Notorious. She liked the fact that they could sit and enjoy a movie with her mom in the next room and not at work. She didn’t even bother coming to check on them either, not even once.

“What we call weed here at 74
th
Street Baptist Church, we call it a sinny, sin, sin. Well, round here between Normandy and Western we call this here a little twenty, twen, twen, weeeell Niiiiigaaa!” they mocked the movie in unison. Notorious laughed as he ran his fingers through her hair.
She so fuckin beautiful, I can really get use to this
, he thought looking down at Kyra as she watched the movie laying across his lap. Notorious had never felt the way he felt about any girl, and they hadn’t even had sex yet. He had all kinds of girls trying to get at him, some old enough to be his mother. It was just something about Kyra that drove him crazy.

At about 9:45, Ms. Brenda walked in the living room to let them know their dinner was ready. By this time, Kyra had fallen asleep in Notorious’ lap. He leaned down to whisper in her ear, “Wake up beautiful the food’s done,” he said, while placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

“That girl know she can’t watch a movie without falling asleep,” her mother said, giggling while walking back to the kitchen. Kyra rose up from his lap rubbing her eyes.

“Why you let me fall asleep punk, was I snoring?” she asked, laughing at the same time.

“Nah, you wasn’t, but you looked beautiful,” he said, smiling at her.

“Yeah right, I be looking hella ugly when I’m sleep! Come on fool let’s go eat,” she said grabbing his hand leading him to the kitchen. When they got to the kitchen her mom had already made plates. She fixed smothered pork chops, cabbage, candy yams, and hot water corn bread.

“Hope yawl enjoy! I’m goin to take me a bath and rest a bit before work,” Ms. Brenda said before leaving the kitchen. Kyra and Notorious sat at the table and enjoyed their meal. When they were done, they cleaned up and headed back to the living room to watch more movies.

“Okay babe, what you wanna watch next?” she asked, standing in front of the TV.

“I don’t care, how bout you pick this time,” he said, flopping down on the sofa.

“Uhhm okay, how about, Menace To Society?” she asked, holding up the movie.

“Now you know you don’t know nothing about no Menace to Society!” he said, laughing.

“Boy please, this one of my favorite movies! NIGGA I SAID A DOUBLE BURGER WITH CHEESE!” She laughed and imitated Kane. The two fell out in laughter.

“Okay okay, I see you hip a lil bit,” Notorious said, still cracking up at her. Kyra put the movie in and crawled back in the same spot she was in for the first movie. At about 11:30, they heard Kyra’s mother coming down the stairs to leave for work.

“Hey yawl, I’m getting ready to head out for work. Since it’s the weekend, Dorian, you can stay a lil while longer, but when I call, that mean it’s time to go home okay,” she said, putting on her jacket and grabbing her belongings.

“Okay, yes ma’am,” he replied in a sincere tone. She then kissed Kyra and headed out the door.

“Okay, now this is really weird; my momma just let you stay while she’s going to work! Yeah, she must like yo ass.” Kyra said laughing.

“Well, that’s a good thing right?” Notorious asked.

“I guess it’s good to somebody like you, cuz I can’t stand yo ass!” she said jokingly and straddled his lap.

“Yeah right, you couldn’t make yo self believe that if you wanted to. You know you love a nigga,” he said, smiling and showing his perfect pearly whites.

“Nah nigga, you know you love me!” she shot back.

“Okay and what if I told you I did?” he asked in a serious tone. That made Kyra smile on the inside. She had been fell in love with him; she just didn’t know how to tell him.

“Well, what if I told you I did too?” she replied, smiling but very serious.

“Then I guess we feel the same way,” he said, leaning in to kiss her. He caressed her back while slowly making his way down to her ass and started to caress it. He then worked his smooth lips down and began to place soft wet kisses on her neck. She could feel his man rise through his jeans as she slowly grinded her hips on top of his lap.

“Damn boo, you got my dick hard as fuck,” he said, chuckling. Notorious was curious and wanted to see what she felt like on the inside.

“Ole horny ass!” she replied, laughing. She wanted him just as bad as he wanted her but she was scared.

“I hope you don’t stop liking me when I tell you this, but I’m a virgin, Dorian,” she blurted out quickly.

“Okay, what’s so bad about that? That’s good. We can wait if you want!” he said in a serious tone. He really liked her, and he didn’t want to make he feel misused in any way.

“Nah, it’s not like that. I wanna do this with you; I’m just scared it might hurt,” she said.

“Boo, I will never hurt you. I’ll be gentle; I promise. That’s only if you wanna do it though,” he said, assuring her that he wasn’t in a hurry to have sex with her.

“If you promise to be gentle, I’m ready,” she said, grabbing his hand and leading him upstairs to her bedroom. She figured if she was going to lose her virginity, it wasn’t going to be on the living room couch. As they were walking up the steps, he licked and bit his lips while admiring Kyra’s body. She wasn’t your average 15-year-old; her body was every bit of 21. When Notorious and Kyra got upstairs to her bedroom, she instantly became nervous. Her stomach felt as if she had just eaten a thousand butterflies, and her throat felt like she was swallowing 10 golf balls.

“So, what you want me to do?” she asked nervously. Notorious could tell she was nervous; he just wanted her to relax.

“Just calm down babe, relax! Lay on your back, I got this, I promise,” he replied. Kyra did as she was told. She trusted Notorious enough to know he would never do anything to hurt her. He climbed on top of her and began to kiss her slowly. He then worked his way down to her neck and then to her breast. He kissed and bit her nipples through her shirt and bra before removing them. When he freed her breasts, her nipples were looking right at him. He took one in his mouth, while caressing the other. Kyra then let out a soft moan; her pussy was throbbing and she couldn’t believe how he was making her body feel. Notorious then took the nipple he was caressing in his mouth. Kyra instantly arched her back up off of the bed. He was driving her crazy and he was just getting started. He then began to make a kiss trail down Kyra’s chest to the bottom of her belly button.

When he got to the top of her jeans, he unbuttoned them and pulled them off. He then placed multiple kisses at the top of her panty line before pulling them off with his teeth. Kyra had her head tilted back in pure ecstasy; his kisses felt like paradise. When he got her panties off, he spread her legs as far as she would let him and exposed her pretty pussy to himself. His mouth instantly began to water as he looked at her hard pulsating clit. Notorious then leaned in and gave it a kiss, wrapping his big soft lips around her hard pearl. He moved his warm wet tongue in circular motion as he slowly stuck one finger in Kyra’s tight wet vagina to open her up a little. She moaned and moved her hips in circles at the speed of his tongue. She could feel a tingling sensation in her body as she felt her clit began to throb harder. Her body began to jerk and she let out a loud scream as she climaxed.
