You Can't Help Who You Love by Tierra Hopkins Page B

to have no episode of the last time you were at my house,” I told him, keeping shit real.
    “Ok, cool,” he said before walking off. I caught Carter giving me the death stare and it kind of made me cringe a little. It looked threatening. But, I kept it moving right across the street. Cash came running up to Miracle, stopping her. I giggled because I had completely forgotten his ass was here, and obviously, she did too. I continued to the house and when she walked in, I figured she had shrugged his ass off or either asked one of the guys to take his riderless ass home.
    “Get your mind off Dallas. let’s get cute and go show him what he is missing,” I told her. She looked at me and smiled. I knew she was always with the little childish shit. I didn’t blame her though. I jumped in the shower and started cleansing my body when I heard Boosie’s Set it off blasting through the stereo. I laughed, knowing she was with the fuckery tonight and I was right along with her. Nobody was home, so we didn’t have to worry about someone whining about how loud the music was.
    I jumped out of the shower and walked into my room, rapping right along with his ass. After the song went off, she headed in the shower next. When she came out, I was dressed in a blue jean romper that hugged my body just right, with some gladiator sandals. I started beating my face over again before straighten my hot tamale bob. I looked just like a little firecracker. But, I was cute, nonetheless. Miracle was dressed in a romper sort of similar to mine with some J’s on. We were cute! Since she had the blowout, she straightened her real hair bone straight and let it fall down her back. Baby girl definitely was going to have Dallas feeling some type of way tonight!
     

Carter
    Halee think she slick. I saw her and Marquis talking, and I was planning on pulling him to the side to let him no she was off limits. I headed to the bathroom because those beers I was tossing back with my dad and the team had me pissing like a muthafucka. After I let loose the beast and washed my hands, I headed back to the yard. Just as I was thinking I was going to pull Quis to the side, I saw his car pulling off.
    “Damn! I’ll catch his ass later though,” I said to myself.
    “Son, leave her alone; you’ve waited too late to get her. Now, had you gotten her when you bust her open, you wouldn’t be having these problems, but you are. She is over it now. I can tell by the way she glows up when He talks to her. I used to see that look on your mom when we first started kicking it. Leave it alone and don’t cause problems because right now, the team is in a good place. We eating with no problems and I don’t want any friction because you wasn’t man enough to make her yours,” my dad told me, walking off. His ass knew everything, didn’t shit get by him. In his occupation, I know you had to have eyes and ears everywhere. He was known to be dropping knowledge on our asses and I appreciated him for that. But whether him or anyone else liked it or not, Halee was mine and I was getting her ass, rather sooner than later. I was tired as fuck and as much as I wanted to run up in something wet, I knew that my dad wouldn’t allow me to drive tipsy, drunk or not. He wasn’t having it. So, I went into the guest room and laid there until my eyes closed. Tomorrow was a new day and I was getting my girl by any means necessary.

    I hated the way Dallas tried playing me. I knew what I was doing. I peeped how him and Miracle’s little spoiled ass was watching one another all day. I was surprised he pulled me in his lap and I thought he was just showing her that he was fucking with me and vice versa. But when I saw the look on her face when she stood at the bathroom door, I knew it was some deep shit going on within them that I was going to indeed get the scoop on. After he pulled off on me at the cookout, I got in my Impala and peeled out too. He told me that we could fuck
