Marcus and Cyclo got into Cyclos Subaru STI and watched as Samantha drove off."Shes still going through tires huh?" Cyclo said as he hit the clutch and turned on the car then tapped the gas to hear the power of the vehicle. Marcus smiled,"Every three months she buys new ones.I keep telling her to just drive normal,she says"I got a rep to protect" so I just leave her be,you know how she is." Cyclo laughed as he reversed the car and pulled out of Max's Diner.
Marcus looked at the inside of the car everything was custom in red and black,from the roof to the carpet. "Nice huh?" Cyclo said noticing Marcus was looking around in awe. Marcus nodded,"Yeah,you could tell you put alot of work into this car." Cyclo rubbed the steering wheel,"Cars are like women,you treat them right and buy them nice things,they will do anything you want them to do." They both laughed then Cyclo continued,"Truth is,I didn't have nothing to do during the day while I was in the US because work was always at night. So I would just work on her.It was great though when I went to Asia I got really close to people who sell car parts,basically gave me seventy-five percent of the stuff your seeing for practically nothing.I couldnt wait to come back and put everything into her." Marcus smiled and nodded fully listening to him. "So you don't drive?"Cyclo asked curiously. Marcus shook his head from side to side,mildy embarrassed that he didn't drive. New City had one of the best public transportation systems,Marcus felt no need to drive because of that. "Damn no wonder you haven't bagged Samantha! You gotta get your license man."Cyclo said with a smile. Marcus was shocked,"She made me get my license when we were young.Just no car the bus and train fill that void.But is it that obvious?" Cyclo pressed the gas in the car and the both of them sunk into their seats as he signaled to go on the highway,"Well,Ima be honest with you.I just met you today and the way you look at her and the way you talk about her,it just shows." Marcus grabbed the side door handle,"Did you guys have a thing before or something?" Cyclo slowed down and looked at him,"Hell no! Shes like a cousin to me." Marcus felt relived that there wouldn't be any awkwardness between them,"Oh,okay.I'm sorry I didn't know." Cyclo laughed and sped up again then weaved in and out of traffic,"Did you know shes feeling you too?" Marcus' jaw dropped,"How do you know?" Cyclo smiled,"You rappers spend too much time in the words,and neglect the language the body speaks.The way she looked at you to go with her back home and how she was sad that you wouldn't go with her but you went with me.Come on man you had to have noticed?" Marcus shook his head from side to side with a smile. Cyclo signaled to get off at the next exit but didn't slow down until the last minute. The breaks screeched and he laughed,"Nothing like new breaks!"
They pulled up to Joker Auto body. Cyclo stepped out the car and said,"Come on I wanna introduce you to the crew." Marcus and Cyclo walked toward the shop and walked into the office. "Everyone gone for the day Cyclo,Their prepping for tonight.What brings you in?"Said a slender man in his late thirties with black hair with a few greys and a smile behind the desk. Cyclo smiled,"I don't know why they are prepping I'm still going to win!" They both laughed.Remembering he had Marcus with him he introduced him to the man. "I'm Lauren,most call me Renni. Actually only call me Renni,cant have people thinking their funny calling me Lauren." Marcus and Renni laughed.
Without them noticing Cyclo walked into the garage and looked around and noticed a car under a black cover. "Hmmmm,Whats your name?"Cyclo said as he gripped the black cover and was slowly pulling it off the car when Renni came running. "NO!"he yelled pulling the cover back onto the car. Cyclo jumped back,"I was just taking her clothes off man,relax." Renni caught his breath,"She has a big night ahead of her Cyclo you'll meet her later." Cyclo looked at his watch,"Fuck! I gotta get ready myself,and pick up Honey.Marcus gotta look good for Sam.We running late." Marcus looked up and laughed,"Shouting me out?" Renni looked at Marcus then at Cyclo,"Sam,Sam?" Cyclo smiled and nodded. Renni looked at Marcus with a serious face and his eyes read dont fuck with me and said,"Sam is like family,if you do get her you treat her right.Understand?" Marcus agreed fearful if he didn't.
When Cyclo and Marcus were in the car again speeding home they spoke about working with music and Cyclo played some beats for him. They just connected instantly. Marcus didn't have many true friends but he seen that possibility with Cyclo. "I want you to meet this man in my building.His name is Henery Brown,he's old school and mad chill. He was a blues singer back in the day.When we work together I think he should be there too.NO one is doing anything like how were going to do it,"Marcus said with hopeful passion. Cyclo nodded,"I think this might be the one,I feel great about this." Marcus agreed.
Cyclo pulled up to New City Apartments and handed Marcus a bottle of Nuvo,"Drink this,We're getting live tonight.Ima help you and Sam finally get together." Marcus smiled and went up to his apartment to get ready for tonight...
