“Oh, I know and that’s all the more reason I’m thinking about rocking this punk. We disrespected him and he’s too afraid to retaliate on his own, so it makes sense to think he’ll probably gas this nigga Slick to try and come at us. Ralph ain’t about shit, but he knows us. He knows our habits and where we be, and that information could prove to be dangerous. This is how we’re gonna play it with duke…”

While Jah was running the plan down to Spooky, Yoshi was getting out of a cab on the other side of the street. She was still tired from the night before, but she had business that needed to be handled. She had been so caught up with the drama on the streets that she had neglected her pockets. Her rent was due in a few days and she needed to get on her job. A local cat who she had been dealing with wanted to see her, which meant he was willing to come out of his pocket. Everyone that fucked with Yoshi knew that every second of her time was worth a dollar and that’s how she lived her life.

The spot they agreed to meet was at IHOP on 135th and Seventh Avenue. She got out of the cab on Lenox and decided to walk to Seventh. She enjoyed a cigarette and the weather on her stroll. When she got halfway up the block, she noticed Jah and Spooky posted up in front of a small building directly across from the YMCA. She tried to act like she didn’t see him, but her eyes acted of their own will and rested on the young dude who had aged five years in her bed. Jah spotted her and gave a nod.

Just seeing him, even at a distance, made her feel in a way. The night/morning they had had together was like nothing she had ever experienced with a man, and Yoshi had been with quite a few. For as hard as Jah was on the streets, he was a pussycat between the sheets. He had tenderly placed kisses over every inch of her body, causing pleasure in waves. When he went down on her, she thought she would pass out from the sheer bliss of it all. The real kicker was when he ran up in her. Jah might’ve been on the short side, but he had a giant stroke. Several times throughout the course of their lovemaking she thought that he had hit a vital organ.
