“I’m not eating shit!”
“Oh, so you can eat that bitch! But—
“First off watch who you talking and what you say and Neisha is my girl
“We’ll see!” she said with a odd look on her face.
“What you sayin'!” I asked standing to meet her.
“I’m sayin' no dick he not going. I never wanted to hit a woman so bad in my fuckin life. This could not be real.
“He going! I said getting in her face.
“Think that if you want, but I can show you better then I can tell you.” I undress my son and place him in the tub. I know I don’t want to fuck this hoe, I don’t want to cheat on Neisha, I grab a towel and take AD out the tub and wrap him tightly kissing his face I carry him in his room oil him down and dress him.
“Man move Cole, I say as she steps in my face.” I go in the kitchen grab him a sippy cup and feel it with juice. I put him in his room and close the door so he can take a nap. I walk in Cole’s room and sit on the bed pulling my shirt over my head and my phone rings. I look at Neisha’s number and freeze
“Hey baby”
“Hey husband to be!” she said smiling through the phone.
“where you at?” I’m grabbing AD, and we'll be on our way.
“Come on baby, are we fuckin or what?” Cole yelled out and it took all of me.
“Man babe I’m—she snatched my phone and I jumped up and ended the call. I pushed her to the bed. I walked over to the door and she grabbed the house phone.
“hmmm, how can I spin this officer he beat me, because I didn’t want to fuck him, or officer he tried taking my son because I wouldn’t have sex with him so he beat me and kidnapped my son.
Man, I knew she was a bitch but, did she really have that in her?
“Man you not crazy!”
“I keep telling you Don I don’t care who you is I can fuck you over, or you can fuck me good, how you think, little miss wifey gone feel if you locked up on her wedding day. With a record like you got they gone toss yo ass under the fuckin jail. Yo daddy won't be able to do shit.
I felt like she had this shit plotted out! That she was gone use my profession and my fathers status to trap me. I closed my eyes and could picture Neisha’s face if the police locked me up today. I slammed the door back dropped my jeans and kicked off my jay’s I walked over to the bed and pushed her down.
“give me a fuckin condom! Naw fuck that I’ll get my own! I walked back over to my jeans I pulled a rubber from my wallet. I slid it on and before I can walk back over to the bed she's on her knees sucking my dick. I grab her head and push her face down and enjoy the blow job. She moves her head, as she gags I guess I pushed my dick too far down. I walk over to the bed laid back and guide her on top of me.
“Man just hurry up!”
As good as the pussy felt I couldn’t enjoy it. She was the fuckin devil. I bust and tossed her to the bed stood up and nut ran down my leg Cole smiled,
“What AD needs a sister or brother”This bitch chewed a hole in the fuckin rubber. I grabbed my jeans got dressed and walked up on her putting my hands around her throat. Look, bitch, that shit not gone happen on my life I will body you first! Yo dumb ass first I tossed her to the floor tears flooding her face.
“You not gone do shit I got yo bitch ass and that hoe going to leave you before the ink dry that’s my word!” She said still crying! I storm out her room walk-in Ad’s room and pick him up!”
“Where you going she yells running behind me.
“I got to pick up his Tux, and head to the Diamond factory grab my wife that Iced out band. AD staying with my mom till Monday then she will drop him off, stay fuck away from my wedding.
I grab my son and head out the door.
My cell phone rang witch it rarely did because only four people had the number. I answered it, it was Don. Hey, baby, he said. I got Adonis we bout to go get haircuts and get dressed I just wanted you to know I love you. As he talked I could hear yelling in the background give me the phone Adonis let me tell her how we just got done doing what she can’t. He talked louder and said I love you and before I could say anything he hung up. I must have called back five times before Cole answered Adonis snatched the phone said a few words to her and hung it up. I was so heated I just wanted to drive over her house and kick her ass. As I told Rhay and Nyla they were all too willing to have my back. We left the shop went straight to the church it was already 5 and in an hour I would be Mrs. Adonis Alexander. I stood up and stepped in my eight thousand dollar wedding dress then my shoes. I felt like a princess I looked at my reflection and smiled from ear to ear as I looked at my dress and shoes. I sat on this little chair and cried it was defiantly the happiest day of my life. My mom walked into the room and smiled at me. She looked at me in my dress and told me that she was so proud of me. She hugged me and began to cry as she stepped back and looked at me I knew at that moment that she could see everything good about her inside of me. It felt good to sit and talk to my mother. I began to shake the closer it came to that time. I stood in the window and watched as so many people arrived. Looking at Ronnie and Even open the door Randy let the people in I kept looking hoping to see Adonis as he walked into the church. I couldn’t take it as the time grew closer my heart must have been racing I felt my stomach drop I covered my hands over my face and screamed as loud as I could. I couldn’t shake my nerves at least that’s what I thought that’s was it. It was 5:50 and Adonis still wasn’t there I knew he was slow but this was crazy. Maybe he had cold feet he wasn’t coming. The time flew by it went from 6:00 till 7: 00 before I knew it. Man, what the hell was he really gone to do this stand me up? No phone call anything. I was dreading walking in front of all of these people telling them that This man I was ready to say I do that I had given myself to didn’t even show up. It hit me that we had made love and he no longer wanted me. That’s what it had to be he had fucked me and now there was no point of marrying me. Black tears ran down my eyes as my makeup began to drip on to my white hand-beaded dress. I couldn’t make these people wait any longer. I stood up walked out of the dressing area and into the chapel where one hundred of our friends and family sat. I walked down the aisle as my dresses train dragged behind me I stood next to two groomsmen knowing only Randy, I couldn’t believe Adonis would hurt me so bad. My three bridesmaids stood by my side. My voice was shaking.
“My mother stood up, and walked me to the pew's
Why was this my life?
]Man, I know Neisha was going to be on a nut. Fucking around with Cole I’m late as fuck. I had to make extra runs book our flight for our honeymoon and pick up her ring. Add on the fact that I was feeling, guilty. I fucked that dumb bitch and now she may be having my seed. I loved the fuck out of Neisha and if this—I bit down on my bottom lip and picked up my son. Walking into the Diamond Factory. My fingers crossed praying that this ring is ready when I walk in. Looking at my phone I push to talk.
“What up she bitchin,” I ask my nigga Randy knowing that Neisha more than likely had him call.
“Nigga that’s what I’m calling for I’m running late and was trying to see if you picked that ring up.
“Yeah, nigga I’m walking out the door now,” I tell him as I push the door open and walk to my truck. At least I didn’t have changed my clothes I got dressed at the Tux shop when I picked up Ad’s shit. We both were looking fly as hell. I opened the back door and slid my little man in the car. Opening my door I could smell the scent of another man’s cologne. I went to tun around and I felt something in my side. I look to the other side of me too see a nigga with a black ski mask on and a gun in my face. My heart slowed and I wasn’t bout to beg for my life, but I prayed for my son, looking in this nigga’s eyes I could see that he wasn’t ready to do what He came to do. However, if he didn’t I was gone end his life.
Daddy my son said and my heart stops, My life flashes before my eyes and I see Neisha’s face as I close my eyes as I feel pressure hit my stomach.
My heart
was racing as I pulled the ski mask over my face.
Looking over at my brother I’m not sure that I can go along with such an under-thought plan. However, my loyalty lies with my brother. If I don’t have his back and take this nigga out, I know for sure that my brother will body me himself. I watch that nigga load his gun and drop my head. The things we do for pussy. In my eyes, the hoe that got him in his feelings is nothing more than a hoe.
“You ready nigga?” my bro ask me I don’t speak just nod and pull the mag back on my gun. I stay low to the ground creeping to the passenger side of the very nice white on white Cadillac Escalade. I take my cue from my brother that is standing behind the car. As soon as ole’boy hops in the car I open the passenger door. Sliding in beside him I pull my Nina on him and smirk. Dude is dressed in an all-white tux and his hand he held the bag from the diamond factory; he had just left. I couldn’t help but feel like shit. To dead a nigga on his wedding day? Who do that shit? This was the plan so I sucked it up and looked at my man in his eyes. He didn’t blink or even show an ounce of fear. In that one moment jay z feels my head. In order to survive, you got to live with regrets.
“Yo, my man you don’t know me so let’s make this easy let me get that chain that bag and the keys.”
“Daddy,” a small voice says and he looks back. Damn I'd known this nigga for years never knew he had a kid. I look up at my brother realizing I do know the nigga we bout to knock, off. This not no regular nigga. He takes off his chain then hands me the bag.
“Yo, my man just let me get my son you can have the car.” I look up at my brother and he pulled the trigger. My mouth flew open as blood from dude splattered all over my face.
“Shot him, bitch, my brother says, but dude already hit in the gut. "What he need my bullets for?" I grab the ice and watch as my brother toss my men to the ground. I shot him a side eye knowing he had really gone too far to kill this man in front of his son. The back door flew open and a shot was fired my brother grabbed the side of his face and I fired my gun Three times. First went straight through his neck the second went straight through his heart like he was a paper target. He fell on top of the little boy.
“Let’s go” I yell at my brother grabbing the dudes belongings and running for my life.
“Damn that was Don?” I said taking my mask off , and scooting down in my seat.
“Yeah nigga, now we run everything.” My brother said getting into the car , and pulling off.
I reached out grabbed Rhay hand cleared my voice took a deep breath
“I would like to thank everyone for coming. I knew you took time to prepare for this day as we did but I regret to inform you that today Adonis and I have decided that would not be the day we will pledge our love to each other. The doors of the chapel opened up once again. I looked up as Adonis’s father stood in the doorway using his hand to jester that I came to him I lifted my dress and ran to the doors. The closer I got I could see the police standing behind him. I looked at Jeremy, Adonis’s father and I could tell that something wasn’t right I looked at his eyes water as I got closer. I dropped to the ground I laid on the church floor and screamed then there was a loud scream from the back of the church. I knew that the worse thing had happened I couldn’t breathe I couldn’t think. I fought anyone that put their hands on me it took four police officers and two of Adonis’s friends to stand me up. I just kept screaming. People around me wanting to know what was going on but I couldn’t even catch my breath. When I finally stood to my feet I bent down took off my four-inch heels and ran out the church doors over to the police cars. Where is he I screamed? I ran up and down the streets looking for the limo I opened the door climbed in and yelled for the driver to take me to every hospital in Michigan. I picked up the car phone and called Adonis’s phone. It just rang. I hung up then called again a man answered the phone. Hello, my heart almost came out of my chest hello Don I yelled
“um hum baby Where are you I will come to you I screamed. Sorry, ma’am, this is detective Clark who am, I speaking with my heart dropped I hung the phone up laid on the seat of the Limo and just cried.
***
As I walked through the hospital in my wedding gown I couldn’t help but wish he was there to see me get through this when would I awake from this bad dream. I should have known it wasn’t in my cards to be happy. The halls of the hospital felt long and enclosed as I walked towards the room that the nurse told me the family was gathering in. As soon as I opened the door and walked in I seen Cole was sitting next to Adonis’s mom and his dad talking to the doctor. I looked at her and grit my teeth His mom stood up and walked over to me and wrapped her arms around me. Cole stood up and smacked her lips.
“What the fuck is she doing here?” She yelled. I looked up with hate in my eyes I made a loud huff and tried to keep my cool.
“Momma Alexander why is she here?” she said again with anger in her voice.
“This is not her business” she shouted. I looked at her and look at Samantha Adonis’s mom and said nothing I could see the pain she was. That still didn’t change that I wanted to take Cole’s head off instead I turned and walked in the hallway. I stood next to the door and wrapped my arms around myself and cried. My body shook. My eyes burned my head hurt I just wanted to lie there and die. The police walked over to me and flashed there badge.
“Are You Aneisha Grant?”
“Yes, I am.”
“I’m officer camp I need you to come with me to the station for some questions” I looked up at him like he was crazy
“Why,” I asked. We just have a few questions for you about the Murder of Adonis Alexander.”
He had no tack at all. My eyes hit the floor my body hit the wall my mouth tried to say murder but it wouldn’t come out.
“What huh I’m lost he was in a car accident right. He just looked at me. My head was spinning I don’t understand. Another officer was walking down the hall he had Adonis’s son in his hand. He was still covered in blood. He appeared to be ok I held my hands out to grab him.
“Don, come here Cole' called out swooping him up. I closed my hands and opened the door and put my hands in my face. I was so confused. looked up at him and tried not to cry. “Officer Camp if you will take me to see Adonis?”
“I will.” He gave me this hard stare as if he was gone to break me and I was gone to roll in a ball and confess right. He walked to the information desk then nodded so I would follow him. As I walked up those hospital halls again I could hear the sound of my dress dragging on the ground. My hands shook. We got into the elevator my dress barely fit. I could feel my stomach turn as we went down all the way to the basement my hands and my forehead began to sweat. The bell dinged on the elevator officer Camp walked off and I followed him. It was so cold and this off smell burnt the hairs in my nose the closer we got i felt like I would pass out my teeth chattered I don’t know if it was fear or the drop in temperature. I walked in this room where there were several roll carts with bodies all covered nothing hanging out except for a single tag with the name age and sex of the person. The officer spoke to the medical examiner he looked up at me then he precedes to look at the tags, I held my head own until the officer asked me to walk over to the table he pulled down the sheet slowly reviling his face I looked at him and couldn't help but to gag I looked at his face and couldn’t help to touch. He was cold and stiff he didn’t even feel real. Maybe like a lifelike doll. I caressed his skin and whispered wake up baby today is the day . Stop playing I kept putting my hand in my face. I took a deep breath bit my bottom lip and shook my head. I kept looking away when I let out a scream. It suddenly was real. Adonis was gone. Not joking not sleeping there was no life in his body. I couldn’t take it I just screamed short little ah, ah, ah , ah followed by a loud shriek. I laid my head on his chest just to hear his heartbeat. I turned to Officer Camp. What happened to him. I pulled the sheet all the way down to look at his whole body. He was covered in bruises and it was too huge sores that looked like holes but you couldn’t
see inside them I screamed as loud as I could Officer camp grabbed me. I pushed him back there was hate in my eyes I ran out of the room towards the elevator I hit the up button looked around for the stairs then I took off for them I ran up six flights of stairs and into the lobby through the double doors and into the family waiting room where Mr. and Mrs. Alexander were. I looked to the side of Mrs. Alexander where Cole was sitting holding little Adonis. I squinted my eyes and looked at her I walked over to little Adonis and picked him up handing him to Mrs. Alexander. I smiled and stood in Cole’s face. I rolled my neck and bit my bottom lip.
“So how much you get the bitch?” She stood up we were eye to eye. I grit my teeth and began to grind them. So how much you get you dumb cunt bitch. It’s what 500,000 for death and a whole million for murder right she raised her hand to slap me I grabbed her hand and pushed her back in her seat my eyes crossed I stood over her and went in Mr. Alexander picked me up and dragged me out of the room. Officer Camp was standing in the hall talking to the nurse he walked over to us. I was still swinging. Mr. Alexander looked at me
“What is it what are you talking about”. Officer Camp garbed me pushing me against the wall and putting handcuffs around me.
“Yeah you better arrest me because I’m gone kill that gold digging bitch. Money bitch that’s all you wanted right I screamed.
“You been setting him up since day one. Bitch, I’m gone kill you, Cole, I swear to God you gone pay. It took three cops and a sedative to get me down I was full of rage like a bull fresh out the gate. I woke up at the police station chained to a bar on the table. I sat across from a two-way mirror and a video camera it was like being in a Law and order episode. I didn’t fight or even get mad. I just kept looking around. I sat there for about an hour before two detectives walked in a man and a woman. The female officer unhandcuffed me and sat across from me my arm hurt like hell. I couldn’t stop rubbing the impression the handcuffs had made around my arm. I glanced down at my finger and noticed my ring was gone my eyes got big.
