5pm
I just left the bank. I had to withdraw some money for the down payment on the businesses I wanted to invest in. I had already spoken to the realtor and David about it and he thinks it's a great idea so I'mma send David to make the payment and make sure everything goes well.
I also need to get my tattoos today so I was headed there.
1 hour later
I arrived at the tattoo shop and walked in.
" Hey Marcy" I said as I hugged her
" Hey Medusa!" She responded
We decided on what tattoos I was gonna get and I lied on my left leg while she started on my right leg. This was gonna take hours. Xavier just texted me.
Messages:
Xavier : Hey ma
Medusa: What's up Xavier
Xavier: Where are you?
I just saw this guy and he wants to see me again? A part of me wanted to see him too.
Medusa: Getting tattoos
Xavier : Bet, I'll come
Medusa : Come and do what ? Watch me get tatted ?😂 for what purpose?
Xavier : You right , lemme take you out after you get tatted then
Medusa: My legs gonna be in pain , I'm tryna head home and sleep
Xavier : Im coming to your apartment then
Medusa: What-

" Who you talkin too?" Marcy asked me
" Just the guy that I met here last week, I still don't know how he got my number" I replied
Marcy started laughing.
" He asked me for it once you left" she admitted
" Of course you gave it to him" I said laughing
I wasn't even surprised, she's always been wanting me to get with a guy.
" We went on our first date yesterday and he already wants to see me again" I told Marcy
" Girl go see him then" Marcy said
I looked at my phone again and it was messages from Samuel and David.
Messages:
David: I made the payment. You now own a further 2 strip clubs , 2 laundromats and 1 restaurant
Medusa: Thank you , btw, have any of you found out who the leader of the spiders is yet?
David : Nah we haven't yet but I don't think we need to worry about them anymore they ain't been doing shit
Samuel : We shut them up real quick
Medusa: What about the supplier Rashad was talking about?
David : Not going to lie, it's 50% cheaper than the price we pay right now but the supplier ain't willing to supply to us unless he meets the mobster
Medusa: Kill him then
Samuel : That's what I said 🤣
David : We can't just kill everybody who we don't agree with Medusa.
Samuel : We can
David : Shut up
Medusa : Alright so what do you wanna do ?
David : I say we take the deal , we'd profit more and have more money rolling in and if anything goes wrong , we can always go back to our other supplier. We have 5 rn, I'm saying replace one of them with this supplier.
Medusa : I'm not revealing my identity but I can do a phone call and speak to the supplier.
David: That's good enough , I'll let rashad know and he'll message the supplier

XAVIER'S PERSPECTIVE :
I was at the warehouse when I saw Zion rushing up to me.
"We're one step closer to finding out who killed your dad, Xavier," he said with excitement.
I was curious about what he meant. "What do you mean?" I asked.
"Remember that contact from THN?" Zion inquired.
"Yeah," I responded.
"That guy trusts me," Zion chuckled.
Impatient, I urged him, "Get to the point."
"He convinced the Mob to let me supply for them," Zion said, still grinning.
I was pleased, but I needed to connect the dots. "How does this bring us closer to my father's killer?" I asked.
Zion didn't mince words. "Don't be naïve. It's not a coincidence how the Mob became so powerful right after your dad and all those other big gang leaders got killed."
His argument had merit, and if the Mobster was responsible for my father's death, I vowed to make them pay dearly.
"I told them I wouldn't supply unless I get to speak with the Mobster," Zion added.
I cautioned him, "They'll never agree to that; don't be foolish."
Zion, however, had good news. "My contact from THN just texted me, and he said the Mobster agreed to a phone call only."
That was a positive development. Hearing the Mobster's voice could potentially bring us one step closer to identifying my father's killer.
"Alright, then. Decide on a time and talk to the Mobster. Let me know how it goes. I've got plans to meet someone tonight," I informed Zion.
"Who are you seeing?" he probed.
"Don't worry about it," I replied.
"You're meeting some girl, aren't you?" he chuckled.
"Something like that," I admitted with a smirk.
"My man," he said, giving me a friendly dap as we parted ways.
MEDUSA'S PERSPECTIVE:
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the tattoo on my leg was complete. It was a striking Medusa tattoo, intricately detailed with other elements. Lyrics from one of my favorite G Herbo songs, a few guns, some roses, dragons, and the word "unbreakable" on the other side of my body.
"This looks incredible, Marcy. Thank you," I said as I handed her 10k for her work.
Marcy, however, protested, "This is too much, Medusa." She raised her hands, rejecting the money.
I chuckled and insisted, "You should be accustomed to this by now, Marcy. Take the money."
Reluctantly, she finally accepted it with a nod. As I left the tattoo shop, I bid her farewell with a casual, "Bye, sis."
My leg throbbed with pain, but I'm used to the discomfort that came with getting tattoos. I drove to my penthouse in the city, preparing for Xavier's imminent arrival.
I messaged him: "I'm home now."
Xavier replied promptly, "I'll be there soon."
Despite my initial plans to keep things casual, I couldn't deny the growing connection. I knew, though, that we couldn't let it become too serious. I had my responsibilities, leading the Mob and making critical decisions. Hiding that part of my life from Xavier was a necessity.
He knocks on the door and I let him in. Of course he was holding flowers in his hand.
"Hey Xavier , you know you don't have to bring flowers every time you see me right?" I told him
" Just say thank you damn" he said irritably
I laughed and hugged him. I know this is only the second time I'm hanging out with him but something is drawing me towards him and I don't like it.
I could see he brought a bottle of Hennessy and two blunts with him. I don't drink that much and I don't smoke at all.
" I don't smoke" I told him
" Aight" he said and then he said " So show me that Tatts you got today"
I was wearing black shorts and a black crop top so you could see most of that tattoos pretty easily.
I showed him my tattoos and he liked them.
I led him to the second living room area and we were both sitting on the couch now watching tv.
" You want any snacks?" I asked
" Nah ma" he replied
" Bet I'm gonna get me some though" I told him as I got up and walked to the kitchen.
When I came back, he was standing up and it looked like he was ready to leave.
He looked fine as hell but I was confused as to why he was about to leave.
" Where you going?" I asked
" Who the fuck is David and why you got 3 missed calls from him?!" I could tell he was pissed but ain't no way he went through my phone..
Plus we're not even together so I don't know why he's tripping like this.
" You went through my phone?" I asked him. If he wanted to raise voices, I can raise voices too.
" It was ringing right in front of me the fuck am I meant to do ? Close my eyes? Obviously I looked at who was calling you 3 damn times" Xavier said loudly
" First of all you trippin too much, me and you ain't even together. And secondly David Is like my older brother, he was probably calling about the new businesses we recently invested in" I laughed at his stupidity
"Aight whatever" he said as he sat back down. He's actually a cry baby.
" You know you trip too much for someone that's not even in a relationship" I said as I rested my head on his lap.
He ignored me and played a movie while he was playing with my hair. We began talking about other things and eventually I fell asleep.
