Chapter six

It was so much shit happening I couldn't keep track. I still can't believe my uncle gave me his scrap. We most definitely have to chop it up Friday it just had to be something I was missing. Focusing on my plate my grandma came to sit next to me. "How's your week been? I've been noticing some things. Your leaving all hours of the night. People just popping up. Cain what's going on?" She asked. "Nothing. You being paranoid." I said wanting her off my back already. "You wouldn't lie to me right?" She asked. "You have nothing to worry about." I said getting up from the table. "Cain wait." She said as I paused then turned around. "Your granddad and I decided it's time we let you be a man. So outside we have you a surprise." She said excited but more nervous. Word I thought as I hurried to the door. Making it outside I saw this red Chevy parked in the driveway with a ribbon tied around it. My mouth dropped at the sight. "You serious right now?" I asked as my grandpa walks closer to the door to stand next to my Gma. "Yes this is real. Do you like it?" She asked giving me a light hug. "Do I like it? Of course thanks y'all." I said in awe. Finally a whip I've been driving since sixteen. They dragged me to get my permit and now that I have my license I have a whip to go with it. I had been begging since graduation but I didn't know what the hold up was about. It's like they raised me my whole life but they don't trust me. Which is weird because I've never gave them reason not to. Well up until now they might be suspicious. She pass me the keys but start talking and I'm like here we go another lecture. "It's rules as you know. We spent a good grip for you on this car. You deserve it and I just want you to feel free. Your of age now and I have to accept that. The only rule is you have to now find a decent job to keep you busy. New car don't mean run the streets. We're counting on you to do the right thing." She said. "Okay I got you." I said hugging her again. My grandpa did his usual mug as he hugged me. "Congratulations don't wreck it you hear." He says. "Okay pop I most definitely won't." I said. Calling Jordan I had to tell him the news. That fool was sure to be more excited than me. "Yo my boy Cain what's up?" He answers. "You not gone believe this shit." I said. "What happened?" He asked. "My folks just blessed me with a car." I said. "Word? That's what's up you need to pull then nigga." He said excited as expected. So guess what I did you guessed it pushed up on my boy. I was surprised his ass was at home after his pop up with Angelic the other night. Once he came outside he smiled hard as shit. I get out the car this fool starts clapping and shit. "You need to cut it the fuck out." I said laughing. "The folks did good. I'm happy for you my boy dead ass. Now you ain't got to worry about getting rides and shit." He said. "Well in a way same for your ass cause you know the pull up ain't shit." I said as he daps me up. No lie I was just dying to get in his business though I was curious as hell. "What happened the other night? I haven't talked to you for real. Shorty keeping you on your toes?" I asked. "Man what? So listen she call me like I want you to come over. I'm like damn I was just over there. So she started all that spoiled cry baby bullshit. So I'm like whatever just send for me if you want me right? So as usual she does so I get there and it look quiet so I'm like cool. She opens the door I go in and it look like they having a family meeting or some shit. Off the back her moms starts going in on her and shit. Telling her she acting like a hoe basically. It got heated as fuck. Her dad or whoever the fuck he was tried to go up on me. So you know me I'm like nigga she called me over I was chilling. The fact that I said something made it worse. They start tag teaming me talking hell of shit. So I walked out on her ass she comes running behind me and shit. Yo straight up I ain't like that shit for real. Like how we gone vibe if her peoples got some against me. Them folks don't know me I went in on they ass. She running behind me and shit trying to talk. She said her folks put her out she was lying like hell. She just wanted to get out of whatever it was they had going on. I was just the bait. She knew that them seeing me would trigger them. But all in all the night turned out pretty good though." He said laughing. "That's some wild ass shit. You gone have to watch her." I said. "You know what's crazy? She said the same shit about Lauren." He said seriously. The look on my face was full of shock. "Wait what I miss?" I asked confused. "Man look that's a bitch thing, apparently they was cool back in the day or something and she saw y'all at the studio. She asked me if y'all was talking I told her shit I guess. That's when she looked at me in my eyes and said to tell you to watch her closely." He said. Oh really now as I begin to think if she just jealous or do she know something?
