Wanda is so fuckin’ sexy when she pouts.
“Black understands that we need to be moving in that direction; and he said that he is taking more of an interest in our legit business.”
“Did he say that, or are you just guessing?”
“That’s what he said, especially since we’re making more money on that side. But he understands that right now, we are still in the business and somebody needs to stay on top of that.”
“I agree.”
“I’m glad you do,”
“Why you? Why can’t him or Bobby do it?”
“Because you got him busy gettin’-up on the legitimate business, and Bobby, I guess you need to ask him about that.”
“I will. But why you?”
“Why not me? Don’t you think I can handle it?”
“That’s not it and you know it.”
“Then what?”
“I don’t want to lose you, Nick. Don’t you understand that?”
“Of course I understand that.”
“But that is not gonna stop you from doing it, is it?”
“No, it’s not. If that’s what Black wants me to do, then that’s what I’m gonna do.”
“I knew he was just playing me off with all that shit about how we gonna get out and makeup that income.”
“I don’t think so.”
“What makes you say that?”
“Because I think he wants to get out. He’s lost a wife; I know he doesn’t want this to touch Michelle.”
“I should have been prepared for him; anticipated him asking that. Next time I’ll be ready.”
“If you were paying attention, he gave you the answer to both questions.”
“What do you mean?”
“You have everybody buy us out and then you take that money and flip it. Invest it in shit that will makeup the income. But I guess you weren’t paying attention.”
“I guess I wasn’t.”
“Too busy pouting.”
“You love these pouty lips,” Wanda said and pushed them out.
“Yeah, I do, so I tell you what I’m gonna do.”
“What’s that?”
“While I’m making the rounds, I’ll feel everyone out on it. When we think the time’s right, I’ll bring you around with me and you can run it by them, establish a price and then we’ll go to Black together.”
