The tension in the room was so fucking thick it was making it hard to fucking breathe. I slammed my fist on the table because I didn’t want to put them anywhere else. I was just so got damn mad that he lied to me. First, he lied about him being my uncle, then him dying it was like I couldn’t trust his ass for shit. I hated to be around muthafuckas I couldn’t trust.
“I don’t want to fight with you Kayson, I’ma give you time and shit and when you ready to talk I’m here.” I nodded my head to let him know I understood. “Alright, meet us here at 4 pm and we will catch a flight.”
We all agreed and went our separate ways. I headed home to holla at Jenacia so I could let her know that we were leaving tonight to handle some business. I knew that shit wasn’t gonna fly well with her, but hey I needed to get this shit done.
Chapter Twenty-One
Zemia
I sat on my couch watching the twins play around the living room. I could see Jenacia’s lips moving, but my head was somewhere else. Even though I decided to forgive Omari, I felt like I gave in too soon. I didn’t want him to think that I was okay with that shit because that was the furthest thing from the truth. If he did that shit to me again, I put it on my life that I would walk away and not think twice, fuck all that shit.
“Earth to Zemia.”
“What girl, shit my bad, my head is all fucked up.”
“I see, what the fuck is wrong with you?”
I took a deep breath and looked my best friend in the eyes. “I think I forgave Omari too soon; I don’t want him to think I was okay with that shit.”
“Girl that nigga scared to death. I don’t think you have anything to worry about.” She laughed.
“Yeah but damn, I gave up the goods with the first I’m sorry.”
“You a damn lie, you held out on that nigga for weeks. I know because his crybaby ass was at the house crying about how much he missed you and he wanted you to forgive him blah blah blah.” She turned her head back and forth.
“Don’t do that.” I laughed. “I just need him to know that if he does anything like this again, I’m gone and for good.”
“I think he knows, girl.” She said with certainty.
“I will cut his ass next time.”
“Ain’t gonna be no next time.” She said rolling her eyes. I was about to cuss her before the doorbell rang. It was like 10 a.m., who the hell was at my door this fucking early?
“Who is it?”
“Certified mail!” The person on the other side of the door yelled. I opened the door and the mailman held out an envelope and I took it. I closed the door and went back to the couch where I was sitting before.
“What the hell is that and who would be sending you certified mail?”
“Girl yo’ guess is as good as mine.” I slowly opened the mail and stared at the content. The more I looked at it the more hurt I felt, that hurt turned to anger in a matter of seconds and I reached for my phone and I dialed Omari. “Where are you?” I said as soon as I heard him pick up the line.
“Pulling up, what the fuck wrong with—” I hung up on him and turned toward the door so I could cuss him out the minute he walked through.
“Zemia?” Jenacia sang.
“This muthafucka got me messed up.” Was all I said not even looking her way.
The minute he walked through the door I was on my feet and in his face with the sonogram pictures that I got in the mail.
“What the fuck is your problem man, you were fine when I left.” He said sounding frustrated, but I didn’t give a damn.
“This is what’s wrong with me.” I held the picture up close to his face.
“You pregnant?” He asked me looking all suspicious.
“Nah nigga it ain’t me, this was sent by your jail house bitch.”
“The fuck?” He looked genuinely confused.
“Ummm we’re gonna go and give y’all some privacy.” Jenacia said trying to gather the twins.
“Nah I’m going with you, I can’t stay here and look at him much longer.” The fact that we had lost our baby and he could possibly be fathering another baby by another woman was killing me slowly and I didn’t know how to take it.
“Yo’ ass ain’t going no fucking where. You so quick to jump to fucking conclusions did you even look at the fucking sonogram.” He yelled throwing at me. “The got damn date says November fifth of 2014 and the name on it is Tina Watson. The bitch’s name is Lashayla Mitchell.”
“I bet you do know her full fucking name.” I said feeling stupid because I didn’t bother to look at anything all I seen was a sonogram and seen Shay Mitchell on the envelope.
“That’s all yo’ ass got to say since you wanna sit in here and act a got damn fool.” I watched as his sexy ass stood in front of me with his yellow ass face all twisted up. “I told you I fucked up; you said you forgave me. If that shit ain’t true let me know now because I ain’t about to go through this shit every fucking time someone says or does something dumb.”
“You don’t have the right to give me any kinda demands, you did this.” I pointed to my heart.
“I know what I did, and I apologized for that, but you can either let this shit go or this,” he moved his hand between the two of us. “Ain’t gonna work. I gave you my word that you will never have to worry about anything or anyone ever again and I meant that. I will spend my life proving that to you but you gotta be willing to let me.” He looked at me and I wanted to still be mad, but I knew I couldn’t. “That shit was just to get under your skin, but don’t worry that will be taken care of immediately.”
“Oh you don’t have to tell me that.” I said under my breath.
“Nah, you stay out of it.” I looked at him like he was dumb, I be got damn if I stay out of it. That bitch was trying to ruin my happily ever after and my dumb ass almost let her. “I gotta go grab some stuff. I came to see if you wanted to go to lunch but I ain’t even in the mood anymore, I’ll bring something when I come back.”
He turned and left just as quickly as he came. I had a feeling I wouldn’t be hearing anything else from old girl, but I swear I wanted to get my hands on her first.
“I need to make a trip to Raleigh.”
“He told you to let him handle it.” Jenacia’s ass said.
“I don’t give a fuck what he said, I need to whoop her ass one good time. You down or nah?”
“You know I got you all the way, I just need to get someone to watch the babies.”
“Alright, we will wait ‘til tomorrow because Mama Ann is off and she and Chelley can watch them for us.”
“You about to get us in a world for fucking trouble and my dumb ass is going along with it.” She rolled her eyes.
We talked a little bit more about what just happened. After I took a better look at the picture, sure enough it was a while ago and it wasn’t even her. I didn’t know the bitch was that dumb to do no shit like that. Like she was really fucking stupid. I guess she thought we wouldn’t notice, and it almost worked for a minute. And the bitch left her return address on the envelope. Yep she deserved an ass whooping for being so got damn dumb and desperate.
Chapter Twenty-Two
Omari
When I saw that sonogram in Zemia’s hand, the first thing I thought was that it was hers. My heart literally sank to my stomach. I knew that she had lost our baby and we hadn’t had sex with each other since I was locked up, so I knew that the baby wasn’t mine. I was about to strangle her in front of Jen and the babies. That was the main reason I needed to leave. Even after I realized it was Shay being fucking stupid, I still had the thought of Z with someone else in my head. I needed to take a drive. I needed to talk to my brother.
I drove to the cemetery; my mind was racing, and I was pissed. I didn’t even know how that bitch got my information, but then again she had a lot of pull in that fucking jail so it wouldn’t have been hard for her to get what the fuck she wanted.
When I got there, I got out of the car and walked over to where my bro
ther's tombstone was. I sat down with my back to it like I did so many times before. I reached into my pocket and grabbed my vape and filled it with nothing but that good shit.
“Bruh, man I miss yo’ crazy ass. I hate like hell I wasn’t there for you when you needed me. You have no fucking idea how much that shit fucks with me on the daily. I should’ve been there. Even though you did some fucked up shit you were always there for me, when yo’ ass wasn’t getting me into a bunch of shit.” I laughed and hit my vape which sent me into a fit of coughing. “To be honest I miss that shit so much. If I could get yo’ ass out of some bullshit just more time, I swear I would give the world.”
I paused and thought about all the fun times we had. Even though Denari was a piece of work and he started a bunch of shit, everything about him wasn’t negative. He had a good side to him, and he loved his family. He just had a fucked up way of showing it. I missed him.
“Man, our nephews, are getting bad as hell, Kayson’s ass is convinced that your spirit jumped into Kyndon’s little bad ass. He acts just like you. He just so fucking picky, especially with Kayson just like you were.” I laughed remembering how them two used to go at it. “He will fuck with little Kay until he gets mad then his little ass goes running just like yo’ ass.”
I heard a car door and I looked up and it was Kayson and Jaako. I guess we all had the same idea. Finding out that we would be able to avenge his death was the piece of the puzzle that we were missing. I would be able to sleep better knowing that the muthafuckas that killed my brother wouldn’t be breathing.
“I see y’all had the same thought as me.” I said as they walked up.
“Hell yeah, I needed to tell that nigga that Krista’s hoe ass and Perry were about to be fertilizing the earth.” Jaako said copping a seat beside me.
“I was just telling his ass how bad Kyndon’s ass was and how much he acts like his ass.”
“Fuck yeah, I don’t know what he did but I swear Kyndon’s ass is Denari reincarnated. All the way down to how he aggravates the shit out of Kayson.” Kayson chuckled as he leaned up against the tree that shaded Denari’s tombstone. “We miss yo’ aggravating ass Denari, shit ain’t the same without you. I hate like hell we weren’t there for you when you needed us but just know we bout to set some shit off.” We all nodded.
“I can’t wait.” Jaako said. “Hell this shit still don’t seem real to me. I be waiting on his ass to come around the fucking corner on my ass like surprise muthafuckas.”
“That’s something his ass would do too.” I agreed.
“Hell yeah, big ass chap.” Kayson chimed in. “Just know we love you, D.”
“You gonna always be with us, look out for us while we fucking shit up tonight.” Jaako patted the tombstone.
We sat there for a little while longer and talked about the old times. I wished like hell Denari was here with us, but he was not and I’ve come to grips with that. I just hate that it happened when he finally got his shit together. Like they always say everything happens for a reason.
I slept most of the fucking flight, Unc had the hook up on a private jet and that shit was comfortable as hell. I didn’t have no problems catching a few z’s. After the plane landed, I needed to make a quick phone call. I needed to let that bitch know that I was coming for her ass and she had better be ready. I got her number from the cell that I had just in case she felt the need to do dumb shit like she was doing.
“Who is this?” She answered on the first ring.
“Don’t worry about who the fuck this is, what the fuck I tell you when I left that muthafucka?” I said through gritted teeth.
“I knew you would be calling, I miss you.”
“Bitch, you must have a fucking death wish or something.”
“I had to get your attention some way, did she leave you?” This bitch was dumb as fuck, like how did she even get past the testing to be a corrections officer? This hoe got so many issues.
“Nope not at all, we are about to get married as soon as I kill you.” I said in a very calm voice, there was no need to get excited and mad; it was what it was, and this shit was my fault even though I never gave her a reason to think we were anything.
“Omari why do you have to be so mean?”
“Shay I warned you, you knew what it was when we started this shit and you told me that you were okay with it. Hell the shit was your idea, fool.”
“I know, but I didn’t expect to fall for you like I did and that’s your fault.”
“What the hell did I do to you to make you think that I wanted more than what the fuck I gave you?” She didn’t say anything. “Exactly, I degraded your dumb ass and called you every name in the book. I told you ya pussy was whack and all out of shape, now does that sound like a man that wants to be with you? Or hell a man that you would want to be with?” I was trying to school her dumb ass so I wouldn’t have to kill her, but it wasn’t getting through.
“Yeah Omari, but that’s just who you are and I’m willing to accept that.”
“Well then, you die.”
“You are so silly.” She giggled.
“I’m so serious, so I will see you soon.” I hung up the phone before I said anything else. I don’t know what the fuck was wrong with these dumb ass broads. I was happy as fuck Zemia got some got damn sense. I was more convinced than ever on what I needed to do and what I planned to do.
“You good bruh?” Kayson asked. I was hesitant on telling him what the fuck was going on because I knew how smart his ass could be but I’m sure Jen would be telling him soon.
“Man, that bitch sent a sonogram to my crib.”
“The fuck?”
“Right, and the bad part about it is it wasn’t even her shit. She sent somebody else’s shit from like three years ago.” I shook my head. “I just called to get her to back off and she ain’t hearing me. I ain’t trying to have any more problems with Z, so I gotta handle that the minute we get back.” I looked him in the eyes, and he threw his hands up.
“Say no more.”
That’s the one thing I loved about my brothers, we had each other’s back right or wrong. We might fight like hell, but that shit don’t mean nothing compared to the bond that we had.
“Let’s get this shit popping so baby bruh can rest easy.” Kayson nodded and we headed out to get shit done.
Chapter Twenty-Three
Perry
Finally found a fucking connect that was willing to work with me, these muthafuckas didn’t trust nobody. They wanted your whole fucking background and shit before they would work with you. I was not about to tell them I was from NC so they could find out my ass was an informant for Mecklenburg’s finest.
Most of the blocks down here were taken too, but just my luck the connect I was working with just had to eliminate someone, so I got my spot. Shit was working out too perfect; something was bound to go wrong.
Fucking Milgram was constantly calling nonstop, I don’t know why but I felt the need to call him back. If them Barnes brothers got out of jail, we needed to know that. I don’t need any surprises. I went to the store and got one of them burner phones and put a few minutes on it to call that nigga back.
“Who is this?” He answered on the first ring.
“It’s Perry, why do you keep calling me?”
“Where the fuck are you? You cost me my fucking case!” he barked. I could hear the anger in his voice, and I knew for a fact it wasn’t a good thing.
“What do you mean cost you the case, I thought everything was good.”
“No you fucking idiot, I needed you to testify at the appeal trial and you knew that, your punk ass ran, and I’m fired and coming up on charges!” he yelled.
“I couldn’t risk it, Krista is pregnant, and they already had her mother killed.”
“Well now they are out to roam the free world, so watch your fucking back.”
“What!!!”
“Yep I got my own plan so you better hope they don’t get to you before I can get to them.�
�� He laughed and hung up the phone.
“There is no way in the world they would find us here.” I said to myself as I dropped the phone in the trashcan outside of the store. I headed straight home to talk to Krista and see what she thought about all of this.
When I got to the house, she was laying on the couch sleeping so peacefully. I didn’t want to wake her, so I headed to the shower. My mind was on a thousand, and my only concern was keeping her and the baby safe. My first thought was to send her away until I knew for sure that everything was safe here, but I knew she wouldn’t go for it. I personally didn’t want to leave this area because things were about to look up for us.
About five minutes into my shower I heard the door come open, I peeked out and Krista was already naked and headed in my direction. She had the prettiest glow, she had started putting on a little weight and it looked good on her. Her thighs were thick, and her ass sat up just right.
“Why didn’t you wake me?”
“Because you were sleeping so good.”
“What are we eating? It’s getting late.” She said stepping into the shower with me. I wrapped my hands around her waist and pulled her back to me and my dick sprang into action immediately.
“That’s not why I got in here.” She said with humor in her voice.
“Yeah right.”
She adjusted the water so that it was running down her body. I reached my hands around to her treasure box and spread her lips so that I could have contact with her pearl. She spread her legs a little so that I could have better access. I applied pressure and moved my hands in a circular motion; she threw her head back to let me know that she was enjoying what I was doing.
“Ummm,”
“I thought you didn’t come in here for this.” I taunted.
I slipped a couple fingers inside her and worked them around a little until I felt my fingers coated. Her pussy was extra tight and wet since the pregnancy and I honestly couldn’t get enough of it.
