“That’s that hoe!” Cole yelled pointing at Chasity.
I looked to where he was pointing at and I saw Chasity getting arrested by one of the officers. I sat back and watched them put her in the back of a squad car and drive off. I looked around for the baby but I didn’t see him. I was hanging on faith that she had him stashed somewhere safe and sound. The fact that I was close to her made a nigga happy.
“You the truth,” I smiled up to the man above for answering my prayers.
“Call Honey, I need her to bail Chasity out of jail for me.”
While Cole called Honey, I got out the car to talk to one of the pigs.
“I saw you arresting my sister. What did she do?”
“We caught her with drugs, for any additional information you have to go down to the police station.”
“Drugs?” I faked shock. “What about my son, she was babysitting for me.”
“We didn’t find a baby sir,” she said cutting her eyes at me.
“Thanks anyway,” I shrugged walking back to the car.
“They caught her on possession of drugs,” I said to Cole.
“A’ight, Honey on her way to the police station. I called that sexy ass lawyer and sent her to the station too.”
“Good, as soon as that bitch is released it’s on like popcorn,” I said watching the tow truck come to tow Chasity car.
“A Dodge Durango,” I pointed at the car.
“That bitch was the one who tried to kill Honey. I’m going to enjoying killing this sick bastard.” Cole’s nose flared up.
As the tow truck man latched Chasity’s car to the tow truck, something fell out of her trunk. I watched the man run over to it and looked at it as if he were possessed. I was about to drive off but something was nagging at me to stay. I watched him open up what looked like a suitcase. I couldn’t see what was in the suitcase until I saw him bend over to check if it was breathing.
“Raphael!” I yelled running over to the man.
I looked down at my son’s pale body as he made light movement. The fact that he was still alive pumped joy in my heart.
“Don’t just fucking stand there, call for help!” I yelled at the greasy fat motherfucker.
“Daddy’s here man, you’re gonna be ok,” I cooed, cradling his small body in my arms.
His body began to shiver so I took off my shirt and wrapped it around him.
“What did that bitch do to you?” I held him close to my chest so that my body heat could keep him warm.
When the paramedics finally arrived, I rode with them to the hospital. In the back of the truck, they worked frantically on him giving him oxygen, checking his vitals, and hooking him up to different machines.
“Your son is a very strong boy,” the firefighter said causing me to let go of the breath I was holding on to.
When we got to the hospital, the doctor informed me that everything was okay. His oxygen was a little low and that they wanted to keep him for a few days for observation. The doctor gave me the ok to spend the night with him, so I pulled up a chair and sat it by his bedside. I wasn’t big on religion, but at that moment I felt like God was really looking out for me. I must have thanked God over and over again until I finally fell asleep in a sitting position.
Chasity was released, and tied up in a warehouse being tortured, while I made sure everything was okay with Raphael. The day the doctor released him from the hospital, I decided to stay home and chill with my family. Experiencing all these losses had me really thinking about life and how short it really was.
“Make sure you make that bitch pay,” Lisa said, as I got ready to finish off Chasity.
“I’ma make that bitch regret fucking with me,” I smirked.
“Good boy,” she smiled, kissing me on the lips.
“Y’all gonna be good?” I asked her.
“Yeah we’re fine; go handle your business daddy.”
“A’ight, make sure the house stays locked up,” I said smacking her ass.
******
“What’s the status on this bitch?” I asked Cole walking inside the warehouse.
“She’s begging to die.”
“Just how I like it.”
I walked over to her with a sharp blade knife, and sliced a long gash down her back.
“OOOOOOOOOOO!” she cried out in pain.
“You ain’t feel nothing yet, I’m here to have fun,” I smiled slicing her again.
I carved the names of everybody I lost in her back. When I was done with my handy work, she passed out from the pain.
“Wake this hoe up,” I snapped.
Cole threw a bucket of ice-cold water on her causing her to jerk awake.
“Please stop,” she moaned.
“Did you stop when you were fucking with my peoples?” I asked injecting her body with bad coke.
I watched as her body shook violently and her eyes rolled to the back of her head. Her mouth started to foam as she had a seizure right before our eyes. Picking up a baseball bat, I swung it breaking all of her limbs.
“Let me have some fun, too,” Cole said pulling out a chainsaw.
The roaring of the chainsaw caused her to look up at Cole with pleading eyes. He put the blade to her legs and sawed them off. The smell of blood and flesh filled the air, as Cole dismantled her.
“Let’s try to put her body back together,” Cole laughed holding up her arms.
“Shit, I’m down, lay her body down,” I said picking up her legs.
I cut Chasity open and took out all of her organs, before we started our little game. It was like a game of operation as we placed her heart back in her chest, her brain back in her head, and her intestines back in her stomach.
“Y’all some sick ass niggas,” Chad laughed lighting a blunt.
“Pass that shit,” Cole said smelling the purp’.
“Hell nah nigga, not with all them guts and shit on your hands.”
“Let’s feed this hoe to BoBo, Shasa, Blister, and Black,” Stacks said referring to the killer dogs he was raising.
The cleanup crew picked up Chasity’s body parts and placed them in a bag. We walked to the back of the warehouse where Stacks dogs were living. Once Chasity’s body parts started to fly across the gate, Stacks dogs were on her like had not eaten in years. We passed a blunt back and forth, as we watched the dogs devour Chasity’s remains.
*****
I sat on the floor next to the grave with tears in my eyes. Although she gave me a hard time from time to time, she didn’t have to die. No matter how good it felt ending Chasity’s life, it still wouldn’t bring her back.
“Raphael is getting so big,” I laughed taking a swig from the canister that housed the dark liquor I was sipping on.
“He almost lost Kandi and I was happy he didn’t. Although Lisa would have been a great mother to him, he needed his biological mother, just like I need you. I’m about to get married in a couple of days and you’re not even here to partake in my big day. All the nagging you were doing in my ear about me marrying Lisa, and you’re not even here to give her away like you wanted to. Ma, I’m fucked up in the head behind losing you, but I think Cole is taking it worse. He was just getting used to having a mother around, just to have you snatched from him. He’s about to have his first baby and you’re not even here to crack on Honey’s hairy pussy like you did Kandi.”
I laughed remembering the day ma dukes had a fit the day Kandi gave birth to Raphael and her pussy wasn’t shaved. From that day on, ma made it her business to get Kandi certificates to the spa for waxes.
“There are a lot of things you’re going to be missing physically, but I know you’re going to be here spiritually for them. I love you ma, look out for RJ for me,” I cried, pouring the brown liquor next to her grave.
I laid back on the grass and cried, as I thought of memories of my mother. The greatest pain a child could experience is losing their mother. Not a day goes by I didn’t think about that crazy lady. I missed having her crazy ass barge
in my house, demanding me to clean up while she cooked dinner. It was the simplest things I missed that I wouldn’t be able to get back.
“Baby you good?” Lisa asked taking a seat next to me.
“It hurts so bad,” I sobbed.
“I know baby, I know. It may not feel like it now, but things will get better.”
“I’m making the right choice,” I said looking into her loving eyes.”
“What do you mean?” she asked.
“Making you my wife is the best decision I’ve ever made.”
“I’m just happy this day is finally approaching and to think you tried to bail out on me by dying,” she giggled.
“I’m here and I’m not going anywhere. We’re going to have kids, raise them, then grow old together. When it’s our time, we’re going to die together side by side in our sleep, holding hands.”
“I love you Ralph.”
“I love you more than I love myself,” I truthfully replied, kissing her on the lips.
Chapter 31
Lisa
“Lisa, stay still or you’re going to get burnt!” Honey snapped as she was curling my hair.
Today was my wedding day and I was so nervous. I couldn’t stop my legs from bouncing up and down. I just wanted everything to go as planned and I wasn’t going to be normal until it did.
“Sorry Honey, I’m just nervous.”
“I see. Just relax baby girl, everything is going to be ok.”
“I hope so.”
Honey put the finishing touches on my hair, then the make-up artist I flew in from California, beat my face to the gods. I sat in the large vanity mirror smiling at my pretty face, when Lala walked up to me.
“Bestie, you look so beautiful,” she smiled, placing a diamond choker around my neck.
“No you didn’t!” I yelled as I fingered the diamonds. The necklace Lala just placed on my neck wasn’t scheduled to come out for another three months. I knew this because I was pissed when I couldn’t have it in time for my wedding.
“Don’t thank me, thank your soon-to-be husband,” she laughed, “I love you but not that much.”
“OMG, I am going to kill him.”
“Lift your legs up.”
“What?”
“Give me your leg,” Lala said again.
I lifted my leg you and she snapped a blue diamond anklet around my ankle.
“That’s your something blue. I’ll take credit for this gift though,” she joked.
“Thank you bestie.”
“Anything for you, love.”
“I need something borrowed,” I frowned.
“I got you covered,” Cinnamon said taking off her diamond bracelet and snapping it around my wrist. “I want it back though,” she laughed.
“Omg y’all, I can’t believe this is happening,” I gushed.
“You’re almost a part of the married woman club,” Cinnamon said.
“What’s the secret to a good marriage?” I asked.
“Wine, sex toys, no gag reflexes, a tight pussy, and great cooking skills,” Lala said.
“Wine?” I asked confused.
“Yup, you gon’ need it to prevent from snapping at him for everything.”
“Y’all a mess,” I said as I stood up so my stylist could help me out with my dress.
“You forgot to put on your corset,” Lala said picking it up.
“I can’t put it on,” I replied.
“Why not?” she asked eyeing me. “You sure you don’t want to hide that… OMG, you bitch, you’re pregnant!” she yelled.
“Yes, sixteen weeks,” I whispered.
“Sixteen weeks and you ain’t tell nobody! You a sneaky bitch too!”
“I just ain’t want to jinx it ya know,” she shrugged.
“You get a pass this time because it’s your wedding day. You better be lucky I’m too cute to be fucking you up,” Lala huffed.
“I love you too,” I giggled.
The forty-thousand dollar custom-made Vera Wang princess dress, hugged my body then flared out at the end. My stylist placed the diamond head piece on my head and I was in love. After all the yelling and screaming, the dress came out perfect.
“You look breathtaking,” the ladies cooed.
“I know,” my conceited ass smiled. “Y’all don’t look bad y’all selves.”
My wedding colors were peach, white, and silver. Lala wore a strapless fitted white dress, while Honey and Cinnamon wore the same dress but in peach. Riley had a beautiful silver and white princess dress since she was my mini bride. The guys wore white tuxedos with silver vests underneath. I had to hand it to my girl Cinnamon, she slayed my wedding. Everything was done just how I wanted it done.
“Somebody said my baby sister was getting married,” Jimmy, my brother said walking in the room wearing a white tux.
“You made it!!!” I jumped up and down.
“I wouldn’t miss this day for nothing in the world. Although mommy and daddy wasn’t here to experience this day with us, I’m grateful to be able to give you away.”
“Thanks Jimmy,” I smiled trying to blink back the tears.
“Five more minutes until its show time,” Cinnamon’s assistant shouted.
I took my position in front of the opening at the door and waited until it was my time to walk down the aisle. My heading was being held at the very expensive, yet elegant Julia’s Garde Ballroom.
“Stop fidgeting,” Jimmy said holding on to my arms.
“Sorry, I’m nervous.”
“There is nothing to be nervous about, Ralph is a great dude.”
“I know,” I smiled, positive that marrying Ralph was something I wanted to do.
There’ll be no darkness tonight
Lady, our love will shine, lighting the light
Just put your trust in my heart
And meet me in paradise, now is the time
Girl, you’re every wonder in this world to me
A treasure time won’t steal away
So listen to my heart
Lay your body close to mine
Let me fill you with my dreams
I can make you feel all right
And, baby, through the years
Gonna love you more each day
So I promise you tonight
That you’ll always be the lady in my life
Lay back in my tenderness
Let’s make this a night we won’t forget
Girl, I need your sweet caress, oh
Reach out to a fantasy
Two hearts in the beat of ecstasy
Come to me, girl
And I will keep you warm
Through the shadows of the night
Let me touch you with my love
I can make you feel so right…..
Michael Jackson’s “Lady in My Life” played giving us the cue to walk in. Everybody stood up and waited for me to make my way down the aisle. The ballroom was decorated beautifully in white, peach, and silver flowers imported from Italy. Yup, I pulled a Yandy move and spent one hundred grand on flowers alone. My wedding cost me a pretty penny, but that was okay with Ralph because this would be the only wedding we were having, unless we were renewing our vows.
Ralph stood there sexily at the altar, dressed in his white tux waiting for me to join him. A few tears ran down my face as I glanced at the pictures of my parents, Terri, and RJ. Although they weren’t here to share this day with us, I still wanted them to feel included.
“Who gives this woman away?” the pastor asked.
“I do,” my brother smiled, shaking Ralph’s hand before letting me go to join my soon-to-be husband.
The wedding ceremony was beautiful. Thugs don’t cry, that was a bold face lie! Ralph, Chad, Stacks, and Cole all stood with tears in their eyes. I prayed the cameraman recorded it so later on when we watched our wedding video, I could clown them about it.
“You may now kiss you bride,” the pastor said concluding our wedding. We wanted our ceremony short and
sweet, so we could turn up for hours at the reception.
Ralph and I did our little secret handshake we created for this part of this ceremony. At the end of our handshake, he twirled me around and pulled me in for a long, deep passionate kiss.
“Whooooooooooo hoooooooooo!” The crowd cheered as we were pronounced husband and wife. Jumping the broom, Ralph lifted me up and carried me to the cocaine-white Cadillac limo that was going to transport us to the reception.
T Pain’s “Make it Work,” blasted through the speakers as I twerked on my husband’s dick. Instead of having a traditional first dance, I decided to shake my ass on him. I waved my hand at Kandi who was backing it up on her boo, Wilson. The day I went to the hospital to check on her, we decided to bury the hatchet. She apologized for causing grief in my relationship and I forgave her. Plus, I was sick and tired of beating this bitch’s ass. Wilson was actually a cute guy that seemed to be really into her, so I was happy for her.
“I’m ready to get out of here and put another baby in you,” Ralph whispered in my ear.
“One is already in me,” I replied.
“Are you saying you’re pregnant?” he asked.
“Yes. Sixteen weeks.”
“Sixteen weeks? How? I watched you take your birth control pills every morning.”
“Those were prenatal vitamins.”
“When were you going to tell me?”
“I wanted to but I kept thinking that I was going to lose it again. I didn’t want to disappoint you.”
“Damn, I’m about to be a daddy. Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye!” Ralph shouted dancing to Rich Homie’s “Flex.” Cole joined him on the dance floor and they started doing the Rich Homie dance causing everybody to go wild.
It was time to throw my bouquet and I was pissed off. My flowers were too cute to be throwing.
“Whoever catch it better give it back to!” I yelled walking to the center of the room.
I threw the bouquet over my head and Honey caught it.
“You ain’t getting this back, ohhh and it got diamonds in it!” Honey yelled sticking her tongue out at me.
Cole then walked up behind her and the spotlight landed on them. He pulled out a red velvet box out of his back pocket and got on one knee.
