tell you how young she is. Plus , I’m about to be eighteen in a couple of weeks.
“Bro , if you feeling her that strongly to be worried about her, then fuck how old she is. Age ain’t shit but a number, bro.”
“You right , but when I turn eighteen she would be barely a teenager, bro. She would barely be a freshman when we’re about graduate.”
“Damn, that is young. But fuck it , the heart wants what the heart wants. She young as hell, but you can mold her.”
“Yea, you right , if I get to see her again. I bought her a phone and shit, so she can hit me when she needs me. It’s tough knowing that she going through that shit and I can’t do nothing about it,” he said as he took another pull of his blunt.
“Don’t trip bro, she ’ll hit you. I’m sure of it.”
“I hope so , because when I’m around her my mind is at ease. All the bullshit of this crazy life just goes away. Feel me?”
“I do br o, I feel that way about Kaiyah. Shorty eases my hectic ass mind. I knew she was my bitch after that shit with Kyle, and without saying a word, she just looked at me, kissed me and held me. That shit was the best feeling in the world. To be around somebody who helps you forget about our crazy ass street life even if it’s just for the moment.”
“Yeah, I know what you mean. I feel like that when I’m with her. I just hope I can see her again ,” Samir said as he thought of his situation with Khloe. He felt helpless because he wanted nothing more than to make sure she was happy at all times, but all he could do was sit and wait.
Samir hung out a little longer with Seven and some niggas he knew from around the way before he headed home. It had been a crazy few days , and he hadn’t seen much of his mother in a while. But when he arrived to her house, she was already asleep. So he did what he did every night he went over to check on her. He kissed her on her forehead, and as he turned to leave, she woke up.
“Samir , love, are you okay?” she asked him in a very low tone.
“Yea , lady, I’m okay. I was just coming to check on you, but you were sleep.”
“Come here Samir, let’s talk awhile.”
He obeyed his mother and sat on the edge of the bed next to her. She looked at him and she could sense something was bothering him. He could hide it from everyone on the streets, but she knew him better than he knew himself.
“So , tell me, what’s wrong love?”
“I just got a lot going on mom. This game ain’t easy , and I’m finding myself having to be another person to handle this. Plus, there’s this girl.”
“This girl ?” she interrupted him.
“Yea , I met this girl a few days ago, and I really like her, but her home life is crazy and I feel helpless. I want to protect her, but I can’t. I just gotta wait until she calls me. I don’t like that feeling because something in me needs her around all the time and I don’t know why,” he explained to his mother. She smiled hard while she listened to him pour his heart out over a girl. She never seen him with a girl that he actually liked. He had never brought anyone home, so this girl had to be special; even for him to mention her.
“Well , first thing first, you have to be cautious out here in these streets, son. You can’t let yourself be so caught up in the game that it starts to affect your peace. I was worried that this would begin to weigh on you, and you’re so young, but it’s a choice you made. But you can always choose to not let it stress you. I hear what people have to say, and you are doing things out there most people take a lifetime to do. So, be the boss son, and bosses put other people in place to handle things they don’t want to.”
“As far as this girl is concern ed, it sounds like my baby boy is smitten. If you like her, just be there for her when she does call. Things will work out. You will get your chance to be her knight in shining armor, you just wait and see,” she expressed while hugging
