Never Thought I'd Love a Dope Boy 2


Sol - 2016
    How the hell did Senior know who I was?“Who the fuck is Karrington?” Dreaux asked incredulously. The barrel of his gun was now pointed at me as if he already knew the truth and was waiting on me to lie.My heart dropped into the pit of my stomach and my words got caught in my throat as his question echoed inside of my head relentlessly. Hearing my name, my real name, slip out of Dreaux’s mouth before I could explain everything to him was paralyzing because I wasn't ready for that. The way he looked at me when he said it was even worse.“Keri!” he snapped. His eyes were clouded with anger, as he demanded that I answer him. “Who is Karrington?”“Come on Karrington,” Senior egged on in delight as he saw how much it tore Dreaux up to not know what was going on. Though Senior spilled the tea all over the goddamn place, it was my fault that the shit was hitting the fan because I should have talked to Dreaux sooner. “This is going to be so good. Go ahead, tell him."“I’m so sorry,” I apologized to him, as much as I hated to do this I had a job to do.
