Disrespectfully, Relic

by Antoinette Sherell

“So, that’s what she thinks about me? That I’m the devil.” “Yep. A blue-eyed devil.

He could tell that his son was slowly turning into one of those spoiled ass kids who expected to not lift a finger while getting everything their heart desired. A part of him didn’t mind it.

after the salon had been set ablaze with her inside.

“Let me talk to you outside for a minute.” “Is it about business?” “It’s about what it’s about. Step out for me.”

she’d bet one of the high four figure checks that hit her mailbox every month from an anonymous sender;

Since I don’t have a father to walk me down the aisle, I asked him to do it. It

they relationship IS kinda weird...not in the way P tried to make it out to be, but in a...they're low key close for how dark and sordid their introduction was...

“But he didn’t. He was the one that put me in bed after my supposed best friend and her cousin drugged me.”

forgot about that, thanks for the reminder

“And Relic didn’t touch me that night,”

He figured I was underage and refused, even though Jessica kept pushing him to.

didnt forget about that REALLY but it was foggy

“I can’t wait ‘til Relic stops playing with his food and tosses that shit out like he’s ‘pose to. I know it’s coming. Plate ain’t even that fucking appetizing, if you ask me.”

“Because I don’t know how to talk to you.”

“That difference in logic is the reason I’m where I am in life, and you’re where you are.”

this nigga is a DICK

“The game is sold not told, partner.”

“For you to stop playing with your food. I must’ve missed it when I became an issue to either of you. I don’t bother anyone.”

“You can’t pull out a gun on someone and think shit is sweet,”

“P has killed niggas for less, but he let you off easy because of Tek and Savvy.”

as the skeleton stamped with her name tried breaking free from his internal closet.

Not to mention, you’ve been sending her damn near ten grand a month for over a year!”

and a soft kiss on her cheek was his response.

You mentioned having a question. Shoot.” “Do you hit women?” “Yes.”

Jesus christ

Now, this family needs you. I need you, and P needs you. Retirement is over. If one is in, we’re all in.”

I'm so confusion... you just almost had a panic attack at the thought of your brother getting into something that could put him in a position to be in the line of fire.... now you're forcing him to be in the line of fire???

“We need to talk. Now.”

“What’d I miss?” He gritted out the question his pride had prevented him from asking her for weeks. “What made you shift around my board?”

He’ll risk his life for you and vice versa, which makes it likelier that both of you will come home. Anyone else will choose themselves, but you and Shabu will choose each other. It’s a win, win.”

Relic had run to Los afterward, wondering if it was considered rape if she let him finish once he’d realized his mistake and repented. A decade and a hidden son later; he decided it was.

Now, stop all that yapping you’ve been doing, Larenn, and talk to me fucking nice.”

stared at the card with the record label’s name on it and her government named embossed beneath it.

“Huh?”

not "Huh" lmfaooooo

His large hands clasping the backs of her thighs set her mouth into a scowl. “Larenn.”

I need an equal and a partner. You’re both to me, and those positions will never be useless.”

The only way he could think to rectify his blunder was to relevel the playing field.

can’t see you ever fucking with a nigga who got his chain snatched but ain’t do shit about it.”

😲😲😲

“There’s no way in hell. Let me try it again.”

“You did, and I want every goddamn receipt because if you even bought that nigga a pair of socks, I’m reporting it as fraud. Yo ass is going to jail.”

Oh, and Bonnie? You aight with me after all.”

Besides, I see someone in line you might want to talk to... or stand behind like a creep and not say anything to. Whichever you’re in the mood to do.”

“What happened to finding that loophole, so you can get your way and your bitch?”

“Even knowing about his condition?”

what condition? and she better not be talking about him being "cursed" 🙄😒
