She's better off back at home." I said. "She doesn't need to be in this, especially if she doesn't want to be."
"Yeah, she's safer at home." Kristian agreed.
I haven't talked to Natalie since she left a few days ago. After Darion and I had sex that day I pretty much outcasted myself. I was sore as hell, I just needed to sleep for awhile. I barely left his bedroom.
I finally left his bedroom this morning because I heard everyone he signed would be in today. He said he was targeting people I knew, so I couldn't wait until they arrived.
It was lunch time now. I was eating with Kristian and Jaylie. Jamila sat with us after awhile and asked me why Natalie left.
"Well, by next week Darion's should have his rankings for everyone known." Jamila said. "I wanna be a fucking captain. I hate taking orders from bitches, I don't care who it is."
"Then your certainly not going to be a captain." Jaylie said with a laugh. "Leaders have discipline, you fucking animal."
Jamila punched Jaylie playfully in the shoulder. I smiled, these girls are hilarious. I enjoy my life, I'm happy. I don't think I've been this happy before.
"Darion propose to you yet?" Jamila suddenly asked me.
"What, no." I said through a laugh. "We're not getting married so soon."
"Well I thought that's why you were gone for a few days, because you were planning wedding shit."
"Really? No stupid."
She laughed. "Okay good, because after seeing you fight Tampa. I think I wanna fuck you too."
Jaylie laughed. "Nah, I'm fucking Rose first bitch."
"The fuck? Bitch you thought!" Jamila replied.
"I met her first! She's mine!"
"Oh well hoe, you the side bitch now!"
"They love you." Kristian said softly.
"Kris yo ass betta' not say a damn thing, because you definitely ain't getting no taste of Rose!" Jamila said.
He smiled. "I don't want to taste Rose, that's crazy."
"Shit, it's not crazy. It's just mankind. When you see a bad bitch, you instantly picture her eating yo pussy." Jamila said shrugging. "Let's go Rose, these kids too little."
She's crazy, I decided to speak. "You guys are so flattering, but I'll pass for now."
"Ugh, Jamila. Yo stank ass scared her away!" Jaylie said. "See you need to keep your mouth shut!"
"How bout you suck my dick!" Jamila replied.
Kristian was on the news for quitting the football team for a moment. Minutes later, they were talking about Darion. They were talking about all the rumors going on about him. One rumor was that he had a cure to cancer, false as hell. Another rumor was that he was building a space program up to go up in space, also false.
"Does the media always do that shit?" I said aloud.
"Oh please, I can't believe your goofy ass is even watching that. The media will say any damn thing, stop watching." Jaylie replied.
She was right, I don't know why the hell I was watching it in the first place. My attention went away from the television. I leaned my head on Kristian's shoulder. Life was going by so fast. My life has always been exciting, but damn. I never thought that I would be this important. Soon, I'd be on that newsfeed with Darion.
"Who you think Darion going to choose to go with him to D.C? I heard he's reconsidering taking Ethan and Tampa." Jamila started a new conversation.
"He's taking Rose for a fact. He loves Kris ass, so he might take him too. But he's too quiet, so I doubt it." Jaylie answered the question. "Maybe he'll take yours truly."
"You wish." Jamila said softly.
"Ugh, bitch why you always hating."
"I don't hate hoe, I just got common sense. He wouldn't take you if a dinosaur came to life and ate all of us except yo ass."
Jaylie tried to hold her laughter, but failed miserably. She laughed so hard at that, that I thought it was hilarious how hard she was laughing. Soon we were all laughing. Jamila and Jaylie were both arguably the most exciting people in my life.
"You should had came to the club with us Friday night." Jamila said to me. "This bitch Jaylie could barely walk, she was so drunk."
"Your not even old enough to drink." I replied.
"Fuck age." Jaylie jumped in. "You think I've ever gave a fuck about age? When I was ten, I was still thirty. No, never mind. Thirty too old, I was twenty-five."
We kept laughing, we were obviously the happiest table. No other table seemed to be as amusing as ours. We were the only table cracking up in laughter.
It was hard not to laugh, these girls are fucking lunatics. Where the hell did Darion find these people? He did such a good ass job with finding people to join NTAU.
The front door of the facility opened. Ethan and another NTAU member Felix walked the group of people in. The group of people was large, but only a few were walked to the elevator by Ethan.
"Damn, Darion got him an army." Jamila said.
"That's what we are, a fucking army." Jaylie replied. "Looks like they're our competition to be captains as well."
"How many captains are there going to be?" I asked curiously. There's a lot of them.
"Pardon the interruption." A woman's voice came through the intercom, Tampa. "Our first bracket of signees have arrived, so please mind the trafficking and welcome them sweetly to NTAU."
"Welcome? Sweetly? Bitch suck my dick." Jamila said. "I'm about to go step on one of those bitches face, they ain't gone know who did it because the traffic."
"Step on their face?" I questioned with a laugh. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Everything is wrong with me sweetheart." She answered.
"Rose." Kristian suddenly called my name. "Its Pisa."
"What?" I looked ahead into the crowd.
Darion said he was signing people I knew. Pisa would match perfectly, she pretty much acts just like Jamila and Jaylie. She's deadly as hell too, she was one of my favorite people in St. Louis. Matter fact, she was my second favorite behind Jordan.
"Are you sure she's here? Don't get my hopes up." I said, he laughed.
"Jordan too."
I damn near fainted. Pisa and Jordan, this shit can't be possible. I scanned the crowd again, but couldn't spot them.
"Kristian, where are they?"
"Already gone, they were going into the elevator."
"Then get the fuck up, let's go." I grabbed his arm and lifted him out of his seat. "I'll see ya later girls, love you."
"I love yo fine ass too!" Jamila called out as we walked through the crowd of people.
It was difficult for me, unlike Kristian. He's tall and big, I'm short and small. This was too many people for my liking, it was only the first bracket of people too. Which meant more people were on their way as well. We finally reached the elevator, Ethan stood in front of it.
"What's up?" Ethan said.
"The elevator is what's up, we need it down so we can get inside of it and go up with it." I replied.
Ethan smiled, but didn't reply. Kristian pressed the button himself. I thanked him when the elevator door opened for us. We got into the elevator together, Kristian inference that they were in the meeting rooms. When the elevator door opened, Tampa stood in front of us.
"Your here, for what reason?" She asked.
"Darion's in there?" Kristian did the speaking for me.
He stood in front of me and held my shirt. He was smart for holding my shirt, in case I did anything slick. Tampa answered with a yes, so he asked to go in.
"He's in a meeting." She rejected.
"Yes, we know. We just really don't care about all that. Now please move, before I make you move." I ordered.
Kristian chuckled for a short moment, then told me to chill out. He must think I'm a student, but I'm not going to listen to him. He walked pass Tampa, she didn't say a word to us. If she did I would had smacked her, she led Kristian to thinking I chilled out just because he said so. I only chilled out because I felt she didn't cross the line.
We entered the same meeting room Kristian took me in to see Darion a few days ago. Darion sat at the exact same spot. On the left end of the table was Pisa, who sat further from them. I wondered why hell she sat so much further, probably because she's crazy. Just barely to the right of Darion was Jordan and another girl. The girl was short, my height. Her hair was brown, she was brown skin as well. She was thick, Jordan never did date thick girls. Maybe he changed his type.
"Jordiee you gotta new girlfriend?" I asked him. He stood up and came to hug me.
He was short, about four inches taller than me. It was nothing, he was short as hell compared to Kristian. His hair was freshly cut, he's had the same haircut for years. I loved his hair.
"She's not my girlfriend." He replied releasing from the hug. I was shocked and embarrassed to mislabel her, horrible first impression. "Her names Morgan, she attended Stanford University. Meaning, she's a smart ass. She makes hard shit seem easy."
"That's too cute." Kristian said. "Jordan and Morgan. You sure you don't date?"
I giggled. "Jordiee and Morgiee. You should date, you'll have a baby named.." I paused, I had no idea where I was going with this.
"Gordiee." Kristian backed me up.
"Loriee." I came up with a name.
"Or shut the fuck upiee." Pisa rudely interrupted.
I smiled as I approached her. I sat down next to her and attempted to hug her. Instead, she caught my face by her hand and softly pushed me away. I missed how much of a bitch she is.
"Love you too Pisa." I said as I walked back to Jordan.
"I bet you do." She replied.
"Hi." I waved to Morgan. "I'm Rose, nice to meet you."
She waved back. "Nice to meet you too, Jordan always talks about you."
"Oh he does?" I looked at him smiling. "Because I'm his favorite person in the world."
"Look at how happy you seem." Darion attracted our attention. "Your smile, it's astonishing."
"Thanks baby." I replied.
"Baby?" Jordan said, sounding concerned. "Wait, your dating that nigga?"
"Yes.." I said softly.
"No, come here."
He grabbed my arm and pulled me out the room. I didn't attempt to break loose from his grip. He let me go when we were outside the room.
"He's the richest man in the country." Jordan started.
"I know Jay, he's rich. Who doesn't know that?"
"He's power hungry. He doesn't just want a meeting with the President, he wants to replace the President."
"But your here, your willing to help him."
He sighed.
"Oh, you didn't think I'd mention that? What the hell are you doing here if he's so power hungry?"
"His power can't be consumed, he's going to fuck over this President so easily. So when the better leader sends you an offer, you don't reject it."
"If he's so power hungry, you shouldn't work with him. Stand by your word Jordiee, that's bullshit."
"I love you." He kissed my forehead. His lips were big, so his kisses always felt different. "A storm is coming. I don't need you in the eye of it."
"If your in it, I'm in it. I'm riding till the death. That's how we were raised, right?"
"Exactly how we were raised."
"Who's Morgan?"
"She's here for her brains. She's smart as hell, she'll understand all Darion's scientific shit for me."
I laughed. "So your just using her for that?"
"Nah, she's my twin sister from a different set of parents. We been cool since we were fifteen, now we've gotta chance to become millionaires together. I was given the opportunity to help my sister get this money with ease. She doesn't even have to work for it, she has a family she can assist. So why wouldn't I bring her in?"
"You said a storm is coming, you brought her in it."
"She'll be safe. Like I said, I can just say she's my Darion scientific talk translator."
"She's pretty as fuck, I know you was up to something more. No need to be slick big bro, if I was a boy I'd want to have a night with her too."
He smiled and rolled his eyes. "That's not happening, our relationship isn't sexual you freak. What the hell does Darion put in your head?"
"Nothing."
"You said nothing too quickly. I don't even wanna know what the hell you two do."
"Good."
"Stay happy, that's all I gotta say."
I hugged him. We held each other for a moment. I felt like my life was happy earlier, but now it's even more content with him here. Suddenly, Pisa came out the meeting room.
"I need some damn pussy." Pisa said as she walked pass. "My life is stressing me out. I'm ready to kill or be killed. Why the hell can't nobody kill my ass?"
"What the fuck?" I questioned. "Jordyn what's wrong?"
I called her by her real name, she didn't answer. She never answered to her real name lately, it was stupid of me to even call her by it. Pisa was damaged, emotionally she was drained. I love Pisa, everyone who grew up with us loves Pisa.
"I need a drink." Pisa said. "Give me a drink, a bitch, and a gun. Then I'll be straight."
