his stepdad. Thought about how he looked in the visitation room. Prison was a sad place, where people got old and sick. There was nothing to look forward to, and there was so much barbed wire. He knew that if he were ever locked up, he would go absolutely crazy.
“But like I was saying, Tommy, you’re playing a serious game, a game where you could lose your life. That’s what I mean by the Grim Reaper.”
“I got you.”
“No, I got you . Obviously my daughter likes you, if she wants me to help you get out of your situation.”
Tommy smiled then glanced at Alicia. He really felt love for her now.
“So, Tommy, if you could come out to California, I can show you what I got going on, and maybe you’ll see the light.”
“Cool. I would love to come out there. I’ve never been to Cali.” All of his teeth were exposed when he smiled. He knew at that moment he wanted Alicia to be his wife. He’d never met anyone who believed in him.

When Tommy pulled up to Alicia’s apartment complex, the sun had gone down. The moon was full, and very few stars decorated the pitch black sky. He parked in front of her building and turned on the radio. Usher hummed in the background. “I hope you had a good time,” Tommy said.
“Actually, I did. It doesn’t take much for me.”
He turned and faced her. “I really like you.”
She smiled but didn’t say anything.
“I really like you.”
“So did you have a good time?” she asked.
“Yeah, of course I did, because I was with someone I wanted to
be with.”
“And who might that be?” she asked, then flung her hair over her
shoulder.
He didn’t answer; he just leaned toward her and gave her a small
peck on the lip. His erection was growing.
When he pulled away, her eyes were still closed, as if she were
expecting a long, passionate kiss. “I want you to go fishing with me,”
he said.
“Fishing?”
“Yes. It should be fun.”
“I’ve never been fishing before. I’ll have to think about it.” “What is it to think about? I have a boat. You will love it. Trust me.” “First of all, I just got my hair done. Second, I don’t want to be
smelling like fish.”
“You’re such a woman.”
“But that’s what you love, right?” Their eyes met.
His heart began to beat fast. His erection throbbed. He leaned
toward her and kissed her. Their lips locked and his tongue entered
her mouth.
He pulled away. “So, are you going to go with me or not?” She blushed, revealing deep dimples. “Only one condition.” “What’s that?”
“If you paint my fishing pole pink.”
“Pink? You’ve gotta be kidding.”
“I’m a girl, remember? I likely girly things.”
“You may be a girl, but in that gym you’re Iron Woman.” She laughed. “Yes, but still I’m a girl.”
“I’ll think about that pink fishing pole thing.”
“Okay… think about it. I have to be getting some sleep. I have an
accounting class in the morning.”
He pulled her toward him and gave her one more kiss. His penis
tried to break free.
Chapter 9
“H ave either of you ever thought about investing in real estate?”
Tommy asked Twin and JoJo. They were at Twin’s apartment, sitting at his kitchen table.
“You mean like buying old houses and fixing them up?” JoJo asked.
Twin looked at Tommy. “Why you asking this shit?”
“I may know of an opportunity.”
“What kind?” JoJo asked.
“This broad I’ve been seeing… her daddy deals with real estate and shit, out in Cali, and I’m supposed to talk to him and see if we can clean up this dirty money.”
“Okay, we’re trying to be legit now?” Twin said. “We’re trying to get out of the drug game after we wash the money?”
Tommy hesitated. He didn’t really want to answer the question. He didn’t want Twin and JoJo to think he was getting soft. He wanted them to think that he would run the streets as long as they did.
“Nigga, this girl you met influencing the shit out of you. When are we going to see this broad?” Twin asked,
“But like I was saying, Tommy, you’re playing a serious game, a game where you could lose your life. That’s what I mean by the Grim Reaper.”
“I got you.”
“No, I got you . Obviously my daughter likes you, if she wants me to help you get out of your situation.”
