Chapter Four

Santana let out a sign of relief once she left the school building. She was stuck in there for nearly two hours taking a test that she studied hard for. Feeling the rain drops falling on top of her head she quickly pulled her hoodie over and made her way to the bus stop to wait for Trigga.


The longer she waited the harder the rain started to fall. She called Trigga at least five times trying to figure out why he was late.


Just when she pulled out her phone again a familiar white escalade slowly pulled up and she just stood there waiting for their next move. A few seconds later the window rolled down and King was sitting in the driver seat.


"Need a ride?"


"Uh no thank you I'm waiting for Trigga" she answered. A slight chuckle escaped from his lips as she looked up and down the street looking for his car to pull up.


"Something came up so he told me to come get you" he said staring at her.


"Well then I'll wait for the bus"


Santana knew what kind of man King was and she was not trying to get involved. Yes he was attractive and could dress his ass off but she wasn't into him.


"In the pouring rain?" He questioned. "Stop being stubborn and hop in" he demanded reaching over open the passenger door for her, something he barely does for people. She hesitated at first but quickly hopped in when she saw lighting struck in the sky.


"Uh thank you"


"No problem. How was class?"


"It was okay just got done taking a test"


"How you think you did?"


"Horrible" she answered quickly. He chuckled again and drove through the city.


"You are taking me straight home right?"


"Yea of course I mean I was gonna stop and get some food real quick you want anything?"


"Uh I don't know-"


"It's just lunch and you have to be hungry I was gonna go get some pizza from-"


"Pizzapapalis?"


"Yea one of my favorite spots" he chuckled looking over at her real quick.


"I'm down I love that place"


***


"I tried to hop over the fence ripping my shorts almost leaving Chanel behind so my ass was all out for the world to see" Santana laughed with King as they ate another slice of pizza,


"The cops were behind you the whole the time?"


"Yes I had to go back and get her real quick we almost got busted that night and it wasn't even us it was the people we was hanging out with"


"Y'all were the only blacks one or something?" King chuckled taking another bite of his crust.


"Now that I think about it I think so" she laughed. They sat at Pizzapapalis and for a few hours talking about anything that they didn't realize the sun was starting to go down.


"We should get going I still got homework to catch up on" she said throwing a few bucks on the table but King gave it back to her putting money on the table himself. The waitress came over and clean the table grabbing the money as they grab their belongs as well.


"Keep the change" he said to her as Santana walked past them heading to the door. He caught up to her and they quickly walked together to his truck. He hit the unlock button and open the passenger door for her closing it and running to the other side hopping in.


"This weather is crazy" he said starting his truck. French Montana ft Kodack Black Lockjaw started to play lowly through the speakers. He pulled out the lot and headed to Santana spot to drop her off.


"Thank you" she said looking out the window.


"Don't worry about it" he said shrugging his shoulders. Once he pulled up she spotted Trey car sitting out side her apartment.


***


"Babe have you see my brush?!" Trigga asked stepping fresh out the shower wrapping a towel around his lower body. Walking out the bathroom and heading to the living room he saw Santana walking in with King behind her.


"Wassup?" He questioned watching her take her shoes off.


"Next time text me and let me know that your not coming" she says walking past him hearing him chuckle.


"Wassup man?" He said to his homeboy. They did their handshake as Santana walked out and went to the kitchen going to the fridge taking out a water bottle.


"Nelly!!" She called out going back to her room.


"Tana!!"


"Trigga!!"


"Bye Trae!!" Santana yelled before her bedroom door slam shut.


"Thanks for picking her up for me"


"No problem man anytime"


"What's going on? Y'all still going tonight?"


"Yeah where the hell did they come from?"


"I don't know I followed them earlier you'll see where you'll end up" Trigga answered. King felt his phone vibrate and he reached into his pocket seeing Dex calling.


"That's him calling now"


"Iight I'll catch up with you later"


"Iight"


King left the apartment building going to go get Dex.


***


"That's him right there?" Dex said pointing to the windshield.


"Yea"


They watch the short Spanish man secretly put something in his trunk.  Looking around nervously he hopped  in his car and drove off.


King started his junk car and started to follow him staying a couple of cars behind. Before long they ended up in some beat down neighborhood that look abandon. They watch the Spanish guy hop out his car making his way to the trunk pulling out a brief case before heading to the door.


"Lets come out tomorrow now that we know where their trap house is located" Dex suggested. "We can scoped this shit out and see what they are about" Nodding his head, King started his engine and drove off.


***
"I don't like working on Thursday's!!" Chanel complain to Santana. "Taylor start hiring!!"


"For what Mami?"


"A Shampoo girl my manicure's cost too much to be treated like this" she answered making the ladies laugh.


"I'll see Chanel" Tracy giggled popping her gum trimming a client ends. On Thursdays only Taylor, Chanel, and Santana work which was tough because that was one of their busiest day and the other ladies requested that day off.


"When I go home I am hopping in that shower and relaxing" Chanel said as Santana agreed. Just then some white lady came in looking stank. She was dressed in designer from head to toe, fur coat and all.


"It is not that cold outside" Santana mumbled to herself making her client giggle.


"Excuse me" the lady said.


"Hello" Taylor greeted.


"Um I need my hair done"


"Okay just sit in the chair and someone will take care of you"


"No I would like it done now" she said looking around. She jumped when she thought she saw a bug on the floor but it was just hair moving.


"I don't know what shop you think this is but its either appointments or walk-ins we don't stop what we are going for a-"


"For a what? A stuck up white lady?"


"I was going to say a new client but yea whatever you say Hun" Taylor answered.


"I suggest you to stop what you are doing or I'll get my husband to knock all this down-"


"Okay you can leave right now" Chanel said. All the ladies looked at her and when she seen how many colored women was inside she giggled to herself.


"This isn't over" she said before walking out.


"Who the hell was that?" A client said out loud.


"I have no idea but she will not take my shop away from me" Taylor answered.


***


"Yoo y'all been here a lot lately" Chanel said to Trigga and Dex as King walked to the kitchen.


"I like hanging out with uh" Dex stopped talking when he seen Santana come out her room with leggings and a crop top on showing off her belly ring and a big tattoo on the side of her stomach. "I like I like I like hanging out with y'all" he stuttered.


He heard laughing coming from the other side of the room. He turned his head and seen Trigga holding on to his stomach with tears building up in his eyes.


"Yoo Trigga leave me alone man" he snapped as Trigga continued to laugh at his boy. Dex put his head down and ran his fingers over his face. He wasn't going to lie he had a little crush on Santana but he knew King wanted her so he was gonna fall back.


Walking in the kitchen Santana saw King looking around in the fridge.


"Excuse me can you pass me a water bottle please?"


King grabbed two water bottles, one for him and the other for her. He passed one to her and watched her opened it before drinking some.


"Thank you"


"Your welcome did you figure out how you did on your test?"


"No I won't find out until next week"


"You passed"


"You think so?"


"Yea you smart you got this" he told her making her smile. Admiring her natural beauty he couldn't help the question that slipped out.


"Let me take you to dinner?"


"No" she answered quickly. She started to walk away but King grabbed her hand, stopping her.


"Stop playing with me Tana" he teased licking his lips.


"Playing?" She questioned. "Your a cool guy King but your just not my type"


She slipped her hand away and walked out the kitchen going to her room. King sat in the kitchen stunned. He has never had a female reject him before so this was new to him. Hearing someone chuckling he turned his head and seen Dex laughing.


"Your just not her type bruh" he joked.


"What you laughing for? Your not either" King shot back. Dex stopped laughing and flipped him off. He left the kitchen and made his way back to the living room seeing his boy cuddled up.


"Yoo I'm outta here" he said grabbing his phone off the coffee table. "You coming?"


"Yea" he peck Chanel on the lips before standing up. She knew what Trigga does with his life but he was grown so she couldn't say much.


"Love you be safe" she said watching all three guys gather up their things.


"You know I'm always safe girl I appreciate the love" King teased making her giggle through her sadness.


"I love you too I'll call you later alright?" Trigga said kissing her cheek.


"Alright" she followed him to the door and watched him leave before locking it up hopping he does call her tonight.
