Page 60 of Meek: Chasing That Gangsta Love
Vicki cut the small talk.“Yeah, well debate about it on the way out the door.”
“You trippin’foreal.” The tall one said again.
“Um hmm.”She hummed.
They both werenice enough to speak to me on the way out, but the other dude said a little more. “You too pretty to be crying about a nigga sweetheart.” He let me know and kept walking.
Victoria closedthe door and pointed to the couch. “Sit down.” She said. I flopped my pregnant ass on the couch and stared at the walls.
“What did he do?You’re hurting baby, I can see it. It’s scary; I feel it and for you to show up here it has to be serious.”
I kept wipingmy eyes trying to catch the tears; my heart was on fire, my soul was bleeding. Everything on my body hurt; I didn’t want to upset my little man, but I couldn’t help it. “Ahhhh!” I let out a long deep cry as my chest heaved up and down.
“Come here.”Victoria pulled me close to her placing my head on her chest consoling me. “Damn girl, I know that cry. I’ve been there and that’s a hurt that nobody besides God can fix.”
“But why?”I cried. “If he loved me then why the fuck would he do me like this?”
She rockedme back and forth like a baby. “What happened Kish? Just tell me.”
I raisedmy head and sniffed using my finger to wipe the snot that threatened to slide from my nose. “I saw him fucking my step-sister, the same bitch from the shop up there. All this timeand I didn’t even know it was her.” I told her. “And you know what else?”
She looked angrier thenme right now. “Lord Jesus, I don’t know if I want to hear anymore.”
I continued on,“When they noticed me standing at the window, Brittany smirked at me. She fucking smirked at me like it was funny.”
She hoppedoff the couch gently pushing me to the side so she could grab her phone. “Where the bitch at Meek?” She asked him on speaker.
“Victoria.”He said sounding depressed. “I fucked up, I fucked up bad.”
“Are you crying?”She asked pacing back and forth. She was walking so hard one of her rollers slipped out of her head.
My heart dropped hearinghis voice caused me to get become hysterical all over again; only I couldn’t make a sound, or he’ll hear me. “Call her for me.” He said ignoring her question. “I’m riding around looking for her; she called you? Where was she at?”
“Of courseshe called me idiot! Who else was the girl gonna call? I don’t know where she is and if I did, I wouldn’t tell your ass any damn way. The nerve of you to fuck that girl’s step-sister!” She fumed. “What’s wrong with you?”
There wasan awkward silence before he spoke again. “Wait, what? Are we talking about the same shit?”
“Of course,Meek. Let me break it down for you. She’s the sister to the brother that raped Kisha and also to the one who tried to take your life. You get it now? She’s Kisha’s step-sister; you’ve heard her mention that before…right?”
“Shit!”He yelled out loud as his voice blast through the speaker of the phone. “I fucking swear I didn’t know that was her.”
“Yeah well,she knew who you were and now she did exactly what she wanted to do; hurt Kisha. Same shit everybody’s been doing to her all of her life. That’s why I made mends with the poor girl; shit, she’s been through enough already.”
“I gotta go, Victoria.”
“I’m your mama,boy! Don’t run now.” She told him.
“Nah,foreal, I feel like I’m about to be sick.” He said.
“Well, you should.”She rolled her eyes. “Where’s the little bitch Brittany at, huh? I’m about to grease up my face, throw on my sneakers and go whoop her ass my damn self. Kisha is pregnant dammit, she doesn’t need to be stressing that baby out going through all of this.”
His voice waslow when he spoke. “I know that you don’t have to tell me that, it’s my baby to. You don’t think I want my son to be healthy?”
She finally took a seat.“Stay away from her so she can get the baby here healthy. That child needs some time to herself.”
“I can’t promisethat Victoria. I’ll be searching for her ass every day until I find her and if she calls you then let me know.”
“I’ll think about it.”She said hanging up. She sat back down next to me. “You go in the spare room and get you some rest Kish, enough is enough.”
