Read A Hood Fairytale: Ayce & Ava for Free Online Page A

lightly. I could really get used to waking up to her every morning. There was over 50k in the envelope Duce gave me and after handling some business with Ric I was going to splurge on myself, starting with a car I have had my eyes on for a while.  After I called Kalie to make sure she was up and ready for school, I got dressed and left.
    “What's up new blood?” Ric teased.
    “Shiddd, I may be new to this game, but I ain't new to these streets.”
    “I hear you bruh. This job is probably the easiest job you will ever have.  All you have to do is pick up the money and take it to the casino. The crew at the casino will know what to do from there.”
    “Shit, that’s it?”
    “That's it, but watch yo’ back though because niggas will try to rob you. Never do your pickups at the same time two days in a row because believe, me niggas is watching.”
    “For a minute, I thought Duce was going to put me on your squad and have me distributing product.”
    “He has his reasons for giving you the position he did.”
    We rode around the hood and Ric showed me where all the trap houses were. There were eight in total. Ric introduced me to the squad at every house, letting them know that I would be picking up money on a daily basis.
    Walking into the last house, I see the same nigga I saw at the casino. This nigga, Slick wanted to try me and I had to let the nigga know that shit ain't sweet.
    “Who is this square ass nigga Ric?” Slick asked looking me up and down with his face frowned up.
    “All you need to worry about is having the money ready before I get here,” I said frowning.
    “I was talking to Ric.”
    “Do it look like I care who you talking to?” I said walking towards him. “Your fucking mouth is going to get you in trouble, so I suggest you shut the fuck up and do what you supposed to be doing.”
    “Nigga, I don't have to do shit.”
    I was tired of going back and forth with this nigga, so I punched him in his mouth. The only way some niggas will learn is if you show them.
    Blood was leaking out of his mouth and the look he gave me told me he was ready to throw down.
    “What the fuck Slick, what is your problem? We all on the same damn team. You know Duce ain't havin’ this shit so you need to chill the fuck out or get the fuck out,” Ric said. “Go clean yourself up and get back to work.”
    Slick turned and walked away, wiping the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand. I don't know what his problem was, but next time he started talking shit I was for sure going to put a bullet between his eyes.
    “Where to now?” I asked Ric getting into his truck.
    “I got a little more business to handle at my club, then I was thinking about stepping out tonight.”
    “You got a club too? So you been holding out on a nigga, huh?”
    “It's just a small strip club over on Prospect.”
    “Ah shit, I know you got some phat ass strippers up in there.”
    “Nope, it's a male strip club and before you look at me funny, money is money and I don't have to watch them strip to collect my money. Fat bitches with low self-esteem keep my stash growing. One of the niggas, Black, gone MIA or something… ain't seen him in a couple of days and it ain't like him to miss no money, so I need to see what's up with him.”
    “I hear you, gone and handle your business, but I ain't trying to step into an all-male strip club so you can drop me back off at the house.”
    “I saw you left with Ava last night.”
    “Yeah, was thinking about giving us another chance.”
    “That's all good and shit, but watch yo’ back with her. She’s not the same chick you dated in high school. It’s cool if y'all just fucking, but she ain't the settling down type and she has been known for taking a nigga out for crossing her.”
    “Let me guess, you smashed too.”
    “It's been a minute ago now, but yeah, I did.”
    I sat in silence the rest of the ride just thinking. No reason for me to be upset because she don't belong to me, as
