bedroom.
Inside the plain eggshell-colored bedroom, Hubert led them to a hidden safe, pushing a piece of furniture back. He pulled back the carpet from the wall, and revealed his hidden compartment. Hubert then looked up at his captors. He glanced at Big Red gripping River strongly by her arm. She still had the bedsheet wrapped around her. He felt fear and anger. This was his night to be with River and these two goons fucked it all up for him.
âNiggah, you stupid . . . open the muthafucka!â Big Red shouted.
âAyyite, man . . . let me think of the combination,â Hubert replied.
âNiggah, you got three minutes,â Twinkie threatened, pressing the 9-mm against his temple.
Under the pressure, Hubert began spinning the correct numbers to his safe, and shortly after, opened it, revealing the contents.
Eyes quickly lit up with excitement and greed. âYeah, thatâs what Iâm talkinâ about. That money,â Big Red proclaimed.
He and Twinkie peered into the safe, seeing the stacks of hundred-dollar bills piled up on each other. Twinkie pointed his gun at Hubert, keeping a keen eye on him while Big Red began emptying the safe into a black garbage bag he pulled from his back pocket.
âDonât fuckinâ try anything.â Twinkie sternly warned.
Within a minute, the safe was completely empty, and Hubert felt like crying. They had jacked him for twenty Gâs. After they had everything, Big Red looked over at River, stepped up to her and boldly gripped her in his arms and forced his tongue into her mouth while Hubert helplessly watched.
âNiggah, get the fuck off meâyou donât know me!â River spat, looking disgusted.
âYo, câmon . . . chill, thatâs my girl. . . . Yâall already got my money,â Hubert whimpered.
âShut the fuck up!â Red shot back, aiming his gun between Hubertâs eyes. âShe too fly for you anyway, niggah.â
Red looked over at River, and then said, âFuck that, she coming witâ us.â
âWhat?â River argued.
âYeah, this cornball niggah donât deserve you. Get dressed, bitch,â Red ordered.
âFuck you!â River spat.
âWhat? Say it again,â Red said, pointing the gun at River. River stared at Red, uttering not a single word. âThought so, bitch. Now get dressed. We rollinâ out.â
âCâmon, man, thatâs my girl. Wrhy yâall takinâ herââ Before Hubertcould say anything else, Twinkie hit him upside the head with his gun, knocking him out cold on the floor.
âBitching ass, niggah!â
River quickly got dressed and followed Twinkie and Red outside to their rusty Pontiac parked around the corner. She had no remorse for Hubert. He was a cornball, a wannabeâand the way heâd bitched back there, River had to smile. Hubert was so dumb that he probably didnât have a clue sheâd set him up.
Before Twinkie could pull out in the Pontiac, River quickly smacked Big Red across his head, yelling, âWhat the fuck was that back there?â
âWhaaaatt?â Red exclaimed.
âThat kiss . . . callinâ me a bitch . . .â
âI had to make it look real, right? The niggah fell for it,â Red said, smiling and gloating that he actually got to shove his tongue down Riverâs mouth and get that close to her.
âWell, next time, itâs hands off. Fuck I look like to you, some cheap ho?â
âAyyite, my bad, ma.â
Twinkie smiled, throwing the Pontiac in drive and pulling away from the block. Between the three of them, they had twenty grand to split, and that was over six grand apiece.

Bamboo exclaimed, gazing at Starr and closing the room door.
He grabbed Starr by her thick hips and stared into her hypnotic dark eyes with hunger. He was tall, towering over Starr
