Chapter 13

Lanika pulled up to the card store with food for Rush to eat on. She knew him well enough to know that he had not eaten anything since he left the house earlier. Lanika walked into the building and hyperventilated. Seeing Thomas made her heart speed up and it fell to the pit of her stomach.

Why the hell is he here?

Lanika watched Thomas give money to Rush before he turned around.

“Lanika wassup baby girl? How was the land?” Thomas asked.

Lanika sobbed at his words, making Rush come from behind the register.

How dare he make fun of me almost killing myself. He finds it funny that I was willing to kill myself over him. What kind of man takes pride in that?

“What the hell is he talking about?” Rush went and stood next to Lanika protectively, wrapping his arm around her shoulder.

“This is my ex.”

“You talking about that fuck nigga who did you wrong?”

All his professional experience went out the window when Thomas called himself disrespecting Lanika. Rush’s mind drifted to when Thomas came in to place the order. Had he known that it was him Rush would have whooped his ass.

“Aye my man, I heard you was the guy to come to when it came to getting custom cards.” Thomas walked into Melanated Folds. He could have picked something up off the shelf, but he needed something classic.

“Yeah, what you looking for? I’m sure I can come up with something for you.” Rush finished ringing his customer up before he tended to Thomas.

“Something that basically says, ‘I’m happy we're over but I’m sorry for the way I did it’. I broke up with my girlfriend not too long ago, and I want to apologize. I heard she went out bad so this the least I can do,” Thomas said. He stood there grinning like what he was saying was funny. Niggas like this made Rush sick but he wasn't going to turn down no dollar.

“You want me to freestyle on the card, or you want to tell me what to put on it.”

Rush wanted him out of his presence. He wasn't trying to make friends, especially not with a nigga like him. Thomas’ whole vibe was toxic, and Rush felt it.

“Freestyle it for me. That’s yo job, right?” Thomas gazed at Rush, thinking he was intimidating him. Rush counted to ten in his mind to keep from cussing this arrogant ass nigga out. He didn't need any bad reviews tarnishing his business.

“Scan the QR code and fill out the form.” Rush pointed to the sign that held his QR code before going to help his other customers.

Thomas clearing his throat snapped Rush out of his daydream. He was staring back and forth between the two before he put two and two together.

“How y’all know each other?” Thomas was fuming on the inside. He didn't want Lanika, but he damn sho’ didn't want another nigga to have her either. He knew for sure that once he left her, she would fail.
