There's Levels To My Thug Read online

  Darrin said to me with a big ass smile on his face.

  “Actually, I am taking applications at the moment. And I’m no one’s groupie sir my friends are friends with him so I just go and hang out in VIP with them. Not saying that’s any of your business. But it’s funny you mentioned it. Are you saying that because you’re interested in the position? Or is this you trying to just submit your application now?”

  I asked Darrin screaming over the music with a smug look on my face.

  Nut ass Nigga was throwing me his played out lines the whole time, not even knowing I was texting Dragon informing him the whole time. I let him know I was throwing the bait and this Nigga was hooked. About fifteen minutes later I sent another text to my Babe saying bum ass Nigga took the bait. And he was en route to dropping me and my girls off to Midtown II down 11th St. Dragon sent me a text back telling me that he was already en route to the apartment to await my arrival anyway. I sent Dragon the address to Midtown II asking him to meet me there instead. I couldn’t wait to see my Babe. I have been missing him to the point that I find myself masturbating to his selfies he sends me. When we pulled up to Midtown Darrin reached in as if I was going to give his fat ass a kiss. I couldn’t wait to hop out his ride. Me and my girls walked into the diner and grabbed a booth. Just as I ordered my food, Dragon started ringing my cell. I called over to the waitress and asked her to cancel my platter. After cancelling, I handed Tameka the keys to the apartment and told her I’d meet them there. I grabbed my bag and headed towards the door. Just as I stepped out of Midtown Dragon pulled up in a brand new 2015 matte black Audi R8 convertible.

  “Babe, oh my god his breath is the devil. I thought I was in hell sitting in that ride with him! I know one thing; this Nigga is sweet I should be in his pockets in no time. He even had the nerve to call me one of your fucking groupies.”

  I said as I hopped into the convertible laughing and checking out his new ride at the same damn time.

  “I told you he had a lot of heat. It isn’t just coming from me, but it’s in that fucking yuck ass mouth of his Huh! Groupie I’m glad he sees it that way his dumb ass ain’t never had anything as fine as you on his hip anyway babe for real. But he bets to watch his back when playing around with you and me.”

  Dragon said while he put his hand over his mouth checking his damn breath.

  “Baby really? Now we both know there will be a cold day in hell before anyone will catch you with some funky ass breath. The way he talk it’s like he’s untouchable god’s gift to women or something.”

  I said to Dragon letting him know I caught his ass. He looked over at me and we both started to laugh at Darrin being god’s gift to anything let alone a dog.

  “Baby listen I’m thinking of a master plan we’re going to take this Nigga down! Like he’s digging me way to fast he even asked if I wanted to move in with him after graduation.”

  I said as I looked at Dragon with my devilish smile.

  “Savannah me being the man I am, what would I look like letting my lady go out and take care of my dirty work?”

  Dragon grabbed my hand and kissed it.

  “Listen. I’m going to entertain his fat ass let him take me out or whatever it is that he wants to do. One thing for sure he’s never going to. But let me get in good with him so we can take him down for once and all. I mean empty out all his stash spots let his fat ass beg for his life.”

  Dragon and I sat in the car and hashed up a little plan to take Darrin ass down for good.

  It only took Darrin two weeks before taking me through his stash houses. He was pussy struck and hadn’t even smelt the pussy. He’s begged plenty of times just to kiss the pussy. To even picture his fat ass on top of me or having his dick anywhere near me simply made me regurgitate. I can say Darrin is smart as fuck, though. He had one crib over in New Jersey and another one somewhere in Delaware each house was stashed with different products. The only thing I needed to know was where this Nigga kept his cash once I find that shit out its lights out for that Nigga. It was hard putting Darrin off so I could be with Dragon but the sooner I found out where he kept his money I would be done with him and back to my normal life.

  I mean I can’t complain too much this Nigga would pop up with gifts for me not like I needed them or anything. I knew he would try some nut ass type shit if he ever found out Dragon and I was together. Dragon and I started spending less time apart so my plan could work. It got to the point I didn’t see him at all. We spoke every morning and evening before we closed our eyes to sleep but that wasn’t enough for us.

  In these mean streets of New York when you’re in the game anyone you hold dear to you isn’t safe. It was times Dragon wanted to call the whole plan off he would say he couldn’t think of anything happening to me or that matter his family. Deep down Darrin had to pay. He can’t just walk away Scott free after taking from Dragon the Prince of New York.

  Truth being told if it wasn’t for Dragon Darrin wouldn’t be where he is now. Darrin had some problems back in high school and when Dragon took his fat ass under his wing, Darrin problems disappeared. Darrin had started feeling his self when he and Dragon trapped together. He felt like his money was too long to work side by side with Dragon anymore not knowing the whole time while he was busy flossing like he never seen a dollar before. Dragon was stacking his paper and planning for his future. Darrin ended up stepping off he stop dealing with Dragon. He even stopped fucking around with Rico and found his self a new connect only to start a bigger beef with Dragon.

  It was time for spring break I usually don’t take breaks. I had a plan and Spring break, summer, even during my Winter breaks wasn’t in them. I was either taking extra classes or working an internship during them. I have been feeling burnt out and a little stressed and I hadn’t been feeling too well. Dragon figured since I’ve never taken a vacation since I started school, he got us some first class tickets to Montego Bay Jamaica, to try in cheer me up. He knew it was a dream of mine to travel to the islands once I graduated. When my last class was over, I closed my books and snatched my bags up hoping Dragon was out front waiting for me. Our flight was due to take off at 8 pm. I really wanted to get to the Airport, at least, an hour or two early being the weather had been crappy all day. All day throughout my classes all, I kept thinking would hurry the hell up and do whatever it was going to do. Because a chick was not trying to see NY for seven days and six nights, we packed our bags the night before and took our traveling clothes out. I smiled as I walked out the doors seeing Dragon sitting at the entrance with his music pumping out his truck.

  “Babe is you ready for the time of your life?” Dragon screamed out the window.

  “Hell Yeah!” I said running over.

  We headed over to his apartment to shower and change before going out to eat. There was no way we were going to fly for 13 and half hours without putting something in our stomachs. Dragon hated hearing me complain about their high ass prices on the plane. Tameka was performing down Montego Bay for Spring break, Dragon and I couldn’t wait to see our girl Live in concert. Tameka was doing her thing and we were damn proud of our girl. She was climbing the charts. She’d make jokes about her being a one hit wonder. Nevertheless, my girl was now three albums in and was at the top of the Billboards.

  We stopped over at Giovanni’s for some pizza on our way to the airport. We arrived at JFK International an hour early only to find out that our flights were delayed due to the rain. Two and a half hours later, we were in the air on our way. We were due to meet Tameka at the Villa Dragon booked for us. We had all things to celebrate Graduation is coming soon and Dragon and I are still rocking with one another. I was still feeling a bit exhausted when we reached the Villa, as promised Tameka was standing in front of our Villa with two Rum Punches in her hand. We were so jet lag that we all decided to dine in for the evening. Our food was delivered to us we all went out onto the balcony so we could watch the sun set. We laughed and joked for about an hour before Tameka left us for the even
ing. Right after the door shut behind Tameka, I turned and looked at Dragon.

  “Dragon, baby, would you mind joining me in the shower?” I asked with a smile.

  With no answer, he jumped up and hugged me kissing me on the forehead. He carried me into the bathroom undressing me. We had a joyous night of love making only to wake up to heavy rains and a cancelled concert. We were stuck in the villa for most of our vacation but Dragon and I didn’t mind it at all. Our bond was deep and this was time much needed for us to bond even more.

  Dragon started ringing my cell phone the morning of June 15, 2015

  “Hey Babe, how are you feeling this morning?”

  Dragon always made sure his voice was the first thing I heard in the morning and the last voice I heard before I closed my eyes. I didn’t mind him being the last voice I heard at night because I damn sure had the wettest dreams ever about his fine ass every night. Now Dragon stood 6’4” with the creamiest chocolate smooth skin. His waves were flawless and fuck a six pack because my babe was rocking an eight pack for days with his buff ass. The thing I fell in love with was his dark brown eyes.

  “I’m good Boo, what’s on the agenda for today? Am I anywhere on your schedule?”

  I giggled a little bit because I knew damn well I was going to see my babe. We had just gotten the news about a week ago that I was almost 12 weeks pregnant so we really needed Darrin to give up his stash house so I could be done with his ass. I mean the news scared me a little because I was in my last semester at Berkeley College but at the same time I was excited for the both of us. I knew Dragon and I was going to be together no matter what especially with all the bullshit we’ve been going thru already. Dragons fake ass kids popping up from fake ass baby moms. I heard he had a brother who was a force to reckon with but I hadn’t had a chance to meet him. Darrin stayed talking about him like he was some type of God.

  Dragon and I had our first prenatal appointment coming up this afternoon. We figured since I was pregnant we might as well go ahead and get our place now. We were going to wait until I graduated but being as though I was pregnant I needed as much rest as possible when I wasn’t in class. So until we find our home we decided that it would be best for me to move into his apartment. I just finished my internship at Blue Fountain Media. They even extended a job offer to me after I graduated. I had an English Lit class that morning before our appointment. The class seemed longer than normal I figured it was just because I was excited that Dragon and I get to hear the baby heart beat for the first time.

  Dragon was due to pick me up by 11:30 am but as always, he was running behind. As I reached for my cell, I could hear tires screeching around the corner and the sounds of our favorite song by Jay z and Beyoncé “On the Run Part II” playing, instantly my attitude went away. Dragon stopped in front of the doors and started whistling at me.

  “Hey, there pretty lady was you about to call for a ride?”

  He yelled over the music at me.

  “I was always taught not to speak to strangers Sir!”

  I yelled back at him. We both started to laugh as I made my way to his 2016 all White Range Rover HSE with butter leather seats he even had our names stitched in the headrest. This man changed cars like he changed his briefs. He cut the music down as he started to pull off.

  “Hey, Babe I was thinking about some things that I need to change in my life not just for me but our family too. But you know for damn sure I don’t make any moves without your approval first.”

  Dragon said with a kiss to my hand.

  “Ok, Babe would you just tell me already shit!”

  I said to him hesitantly.

  “Look, Babe, I been doing some thinking and I’m not trying to live this lifestyle anymore after we’re done with this Darrin bullshit I’m done with the game. It’s been bugging me for real. Especially with us having a baby on the way now. So I was thinking I’m going to finish off these 25 keys and be done with it you know out of sight out of mind. I’ve been looking at getting back into the fashion institute anyway. I really got back into it after you begged me to design your homecoming gown knowing I haven’t sketched in years. A Nigga still has a little bit of talent left.”

  Dragon had to be doing some deep thinking because he went from selling pounds of weed on the corner to selling weight. And he hadn't talked about design school since when we first started dating. I actually met him through Tameka, my best friend. When we started at Berkeley together, she started to smoke marijuana like it was going out of style. I would be with her every time she grabbed an ounce of weed off him or I’d be in the room with her when he would come by our dorms.

  “Wow, Babe I’m down for whatever you know I’m riding. But first things first I’ll be finished with Darrin ass by the end of this week I promise.”

  I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, I sat my chair back and started our song over on full blast and started to sing to him. Dragon reached and grabbed my hand and kissed it. He pulled up to the parking garage at the New York–Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center he grabbed our ticket and parked.

  Dragon reached over and unbuckled my seat belt “Hold on for a second Babe” Dragon said as he got out the car. He walked over to my side and opened my door. That is what I loved most about him, he catered to me and never raised his voice. I used to make jokes all the time telling him to call his Momma up and tell her I said Thank you for raising such a Thug of a gentleman. We walked hand and hand, as usual, Dragon even carried my purse for me. As we reached the door, I could smell the glazed Krispy krème donuts the nurse at the front desk had. It seemed like she always had them sitting out waiting for me especially.

  “Hey, Mrs. Jones how are you this afternoon?”

  I asked her while reaching and grabbing a couple of donuts.

  “I’m good Miss Sunders. Take the box I bought them just for you, sweetie.”

  Mrs. Jones replied with a smile.

  I’ve known Mrs. Jones since the age of sixteen. I always had a thing for Krispy Kreme donuts. She used to make jokes saying

  “Girl all those darn donuts are just going to them hips and that bottom of yours.”

  Mrs. Jones took us straight to the room and took my weight and blood pressure. I had already put on 5lbs. Dragon laughed and said it was all in my bubble for an ass. Mrs. Jones excused herself out the room while I undressed and waited for the Dr. to come in to check me out. About five minutes later Dr. Jeffery knocked on the door and walked in. Dragon shook his hand.

  “Hey, Doc I’ve been waiting patiently so let’s hear it.”

  Dragon couldn’t wait to hear the baby.

  “Ok well, then Savannah I’m not going to hold you up any longer so go ahead and lay back.” Dr. Jeffery said.

  He squirted this cold ass gel on my stomach. As he started listening to the heartbeat, he looked up at Dragon and me and said

  “Well pardon me. Do you hear that? That’s a double beat it seems as though you guys may be having twins. I’m going to set you up with an ultrasound right away just to be sure.”

  We couldn’t believe it, going from having one baby to having two was a blessing. Of course, I was hoping for a boy and a girl so I could just be done with it but who knows. After our appointment, we went out to eat and then riding around looking at some houses that Dragon had already pulled up on Craigslist. Even if I wasn’t ready Dragon was, sure enough, going to make me ready. We ended up in Staten Island, NY looking at this beautiful 6 bedrooms 3.5 baths home. Dragon pulled up into the driveway and asked what I thought of the outside of the home. He said the home even had a pool in the backyard. Dragon stepped from the car after he unbuckled my seat belt. He walked around to the passenger side and opened my door.

  “Babe, what are you doing? These people are going to call the cops on us.”

  I said to him.

  He looked at me and started laughing.

  “Just get out the car scary,”

  He said to me laughing as he stu
ck his hand out for me.

  He walked me to the back of the home showing me the in ground pool along with a tennis & basketball court. There were sliding double glass doors leading into the kitchen. The home was completely empty with no window coverings so I could see straight thru. I put my hands up to the sliding doors so I could get a closer look. Dragon started to laugh while saying to me.

  “Babe you really like what you see so far?”

  I responded quickly.

  “Yes, babe I do. Are you kidding me?”

  When I looked up, he had a big smile on his face with a set of keys dangling them in his hands.

  “Well go ahead in and take a closer look. I am glad I grabbed a 6 bedroom seeing as though it looks like we’re having two instead of one, plus all this Bullshit that’s going on with that cat Darrin. We need to be far out of sight and out of mind anyway.”

  Dragon said while smiling at me I’ve never seen him so happy. Besides I didn’t think much about Darrin at all, I just needed him to give up theses cribs so I can be done with him. Doing the walk thru the home was already amazing but it had so much potential you could tell it had to be an old couple’s home. This home had all the old dark paneling on the walls and nasty ass drop ceilings which I detested. But with a woman’s touch, I don’t think I’m ever going to want to leave especially after it’s done.

  Dragon already had the contractor en route to the home to meet us so we could get started with a walk thru with him. Dragon said before we knew it the babies would be here and he wanted them to come home to their own bedroom. I couldn’t be more thankful to have him in my life or a part of my world. I barely know my Daddy he only came around when he wanted some skins from my Momma.

  Before Dragon I had all types of dumb ass boyfriends so to me Dragon was heaven sent. I was on cloud nine whenever he was around he made everything about he and I. He would do anything for me and as I would him. After meeting with the contractor and going over everything that we both wanted along with making sure that he also child proof all outlets etc. We even agreed on taking the finished basement and turning it into a Home office/Gym. We also discussed with the Contractor removing the dividing wall between the two rooms for the babies. No matter where we ended up in life we damn sure wasn’t selling this house ever. This would be forever our family home.
