“Well what’s that banging inside your trunk?”
“Uh…Nothing.”
"Oh yeah? Well open it up, I want to see for myself."
"Officer, this really isn't necessary."
"Open the trunk, sir! I won’t ask you again!" The officer yelled.
It was silent and I was nervous. Something was about to happen but what? Knowing this was my last chance, I kicked the trunk several times again and yelled, "Hellllp! Hellllp! We’re in here!"
There was a brief silent period before I heard the officer say, "He’s going for a gun!"
"What the..." I heard another voice say followed by a hail of bullets.
I knew then that whoever wanted me or Jace, wanted us badly enough to kill a police officer. When the trunk door opened, I knew our fate would be revealed. Court was held in the streets, and this was the verdict.
I saw a shiny badge and exhaled when I saw the officer’s face. He put the gun on his holster and said, "Are you two alright?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were in the hospital for two hours before I saw six people walk up to Jace's room in a hurry. The only one I recognized was Kali and Tony Wop. Tony’s muscles peeked from the sides of his shirt and he talked smoothly. His accent was different from a DC accent because he was from L.A.
"You alright?" Kali asked me blocking my view of Tony. He’s such a hater.
"Not really. I got cuts on my back and wrists. My head hurts pretty badly too, but I’m alive. I can’t believe all this shit popped off tonight." I said looking around him at Tony.
Kali adjusted the leather strap he had on his back and said, “At least you safe,” he said looking into my eyes. I never understood why he went around town with a hatchet. Part of it was creepy, but the other part was bold and it kinda turned me on. “Don’t worry ‘bout nothin’ else though. I got you.”
“Kali, where were you earlier? Jace said he was looking all over for you.”
“Let me deal with that. I’m just glad you’re alive. When I heard some niggas kicked that door in, I almost lost it.”
I didn’t know what Kali meant by the way he was looking at me. Plus he was fucking Cherry, so why was he all in my face? Don’t get me wrong, I ain’t got no problem fucking what I want, but him and I will never be like that.
Tony all of a sudden walked up to me and said, "I’m sorry you got mixed in this shit tonight but I ‘ppreciate you gettin’ my peoples out of that shit alive. I heard ‘bout the keyhole thing too. That shit was smart." Kali looked at him as if he had just violated by speaking to me and all I could think about was the way Tony would feel inside of my pussy. I thought about fucking 24/7 and tonight was no different. “But are you aight?”
“Yeah…She fine. I got her.” Kali interrupted.
What the fuck was he doing? I thought. Tony looked at him and then at me. “I’m talkin’ to her, cuz.” He said mean mugging him.
“Yeah, but I was just tellin’ you that I’ma make sure she aight.”
“Yeah but that wasn’t the question. And I wasn’t even talkin’ to you, homie.” He paused. “But we do have a conversation due.”
“What convo you gotta have with me?”
“We’ll have it soon. Don’t worry ‘bout that shit.” He said looking at me as if I had just violated a private meeting. “With my cousin bein’ down, I’ma be the one lookin’ after things.”
“Whenever you ready.” Kali said back.
The two looked at each other with harsh stares and I decided it was time to bring the attention back to me so I said, “Is Jace gonna be alright?”
“Yeah…We cut from the same cloth. Don’t worry ‘bout him. You just take care of yourself.” I knew right then he was as attracted to me as I was to him. "Well let me get back to my cousin. Kali, I’ma holla at you,” he paused pointing his finger at his chest, “later.” He walked away giving him one last boss look.
When Tony left, Kali said, "Go wait for me in the lobby, I’ma take you home. You shouldn't be out here this late at night anyway."
“Can you please tell me why you acted like that just now? You acting like I’m Cherry or something.”
“What are you talkin’ about?”
“What am I talking about? You were acting all possessive and shit. I don’t like that, Kali, people could get the wrong impression.”
“Hold up, you’re worried about someone gettin’ the wrong impression? Of you?”
“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?” I asked putting my hands on my hips.
"Harmony, go wait in the lobby and don’t make me say it again.” He said pushing me toward the elevator. “You don’t need to be over here with all these niggas anyway.”
I was tired and after the night I had, really didn’t feel like arguing. “The next time you want to boss me around, be sure you’re putting money in my pocket.”
“You gonna make me tell you again to go wait in the lobby?” He asked ignoring my statement. He was acting real crazy and didn’t look the same.
“Hurry up.” I told him before walking away. “I ain’t waitin’ all day.”
I was a few feet away from Jace’s room when Karen’s overweight fat ass stepped in my path and said, "What are you doing here?"
“Jace is my boyfriend, Karen.” I said. “And I was kidnapped with him.”
“This is probably all your fault, I don’t trust you. Stay away from him.”
“I’m not trying to hear none of the shit you spittin’. But if Jace wants me to leave him alone, that’s between me and him.”
She looked at me like I shitted on myself and walked away. Tony walked over to her hugged her and they walked into Jace’s room. But before she turned the corner she made sure to look at me again. She had a major issue with me and I knew right then that after the problem we had in the hotel, the only way to get Jace to stay with me was to trap him into a pregnancy. So I was gonna do what I had to do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kali and me were driving in silence for about five minutes before he said, "You know I don’t know what I would do if someone hurt you right?"
"Kali, why are you acting like this all of a sudden?" I said looking at him from the corner of my eyes.
“I don’t know. I guess I was always feelin’ you. But you was so worried about Jace.” He paused. “When I’m the one who has and will kill for you.”
“Kill for me? When?”
“Remember that dog? The one you were scared of all the time?” he paused. “I did that for you. And I’d kill anybody else for you if you needed me to. All you gotta do is say the word.”
To tell you the truth, I always believed he had something to do with Dingo missing but I never had hardcore proof until now.
“How is Cherry?” I asked skipping the subject. “You go visit her yet?”
“Yeah…She cool.”
Silence.
“You shouldn’t be so serious about me, Kali. Plus I don’t want Jace thinking the wrong thing about us. I already don’t think he’s feelin’ our friendship.”
He was silent until he said, “Jace my man and all, but he’s not loyal like I am. He lets people come in the way of our family, like he don’t care about me or somethin’. Sometimes I feel like I gotta put him outta of his misery, for his own good.”
“You’re scaring me now.”
“Don’t be scared,” he said staring out in front of him. “I would never do anything to hurt Jace, unless I felt like he’d do something to hurt me first.”
"He’s my boyfriend, Kali. You gotta remember that. And I don’t want nothing to happen to him."
“How would you feel if something happened to me?”
“Bad. Real bad.”
“Who would you want alive more, me or Jace?”
“Kali! Stop asking me questions like that!”
Kali was scaring the hell out of me. His questions and responses were all over the place and I didn’t know where
he was coming from.
"You not in any pain are you? That bruise on your face looks bad."
"The doctor said I’ll be fine, so I’ll be fine.” I paused. “And since when do you care about bruises on somebody’s face? Seeing as though you beat up on Cherry on a regular.”
“Now who’s in who’s business?” He said. “And just so you know, Cherry like when I fuck her up. So I ain’t doin’ shit she not in to.” He was telling me something I already knew but didn’t understand.
When we pulled up to my house he said, "I’ma walk you inside."
“I guess there’s no way I can convince you not to huh?”
“No.” He said following me.
When I opened the door to my house Shirley was sitting on the couch looking at TV until she saw me. She stood up and said, “WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU LEAVE THAT BABY IN HERE BY ITSELF!”
“I told you I wasn’t watching that weed smelling baby!” I said putting my keys on the table by the door. I didn’t bother telling her what happened to me tonight because I knew she wouldn’t care.
Shirley stepped closer to me and said, “You need your ass kicked for that shit.”
“And who gonna do it?” I said with my hands on my hips. She looked at me and then at Kali. “Shirley, get the fuck out of my face.” I continued walking around her.
She looked as if she wanted to hit me. And I don’t know if the look in my eyes or the look in Kali’s told her it would be a dumb move.
When we got to my room I tried to organize it a little bit because my clothes were everywhere due to trying to look cute for Jace tonight. At least I didn’t have to worry about Shirley’s stinky ass clothes being in here anymore. I finally got the room all to myself, one of the gifts she gave me for, ‘taking care of her’. The good thing about it was when I got with Jace I didn’t have to do those things any more.
"Okay, Kali, I’m in my room and I’m fine now. So you can leave.”
“You gonna take a shower?”
“Why?”
“Cause I want to make sure you’re in the bed safe before I go.” He said standing in the middle of the floor. Then he looked out of the window as if the man who had kidnapped me earlier was still outside. I knew he was in the hospital though because the cops shot him up pretty badly.
“Okay…Well I’ma take a shower. You can stay until I get out.”
“Aight.” Kali looked around everywhere, and I realized then he’d never been in my room before. “Your room looks just like I imagined. Real pretty, like a girl’s.”
“Kali, why did you use to watch over me so much?”
“You needed me. To protect you.”
“What made you think that?”
“Because I know what Charles use to do to you.” He said picking up a Polaroid picture in my room of me, Trip and Connie.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I know you don’t,” he smiled slyly.
“Well you can sit down, Kali.” I paused grabbing my baby blue nightgown out of my dresser. “You don’t have to stand up looking all creepy and shit.”
Kali sat on the edge of my bed and I hopped into the shower. The water felt good moving over my body and hair. For the first time since everything happened, reality hit me that I almost died. My father told me that loving money meant being prepared for anything and I finally understood what that meant. I was always a strong person, able to deal with whatever, but lately shit wasn’t going my way and I hated it. As I was crying to myself, Kali walked into the bathroom and I wiped the suds away from my eyes.
"What are you doing in here?" I cried trying my best to cover my naked body with my hands. "Get out!"
"Harmony, please...Let me take care of you. That's all I wanna do."
"But I don’t want you in here, Kali!" I said wiping my tears. "Now please leave."
"Let me hold you and if you want me to leave after that, I’m out. I promise."
Kali took his shoes and t-shirt off and stepped into the shower in his jeans. I saw scars all over his body that resembled dog bites.
“What happened to you?” I asked seriously touching one of the scars. “You were bit by a dog or something?”
“Don’t worry about that.” He said rubbing my face. “Let me worry about you.”
“I don’t know about this, Kali. Forreal.” Thoughts of how he acted earlier ran through my mind. He was obsessive and unpredictable and that scared me. If we had sex, and I put it on him, who knew how he would act then.
“Please, I just want to make you feel good. Let me do this for you.”
I finally understood that he worshipped me and I knew then that Kali could come in handy. When he stood behind me, he massaged my shoulders and I immediately felt safe. His large hands massaged my body with tenderness and care. Then he took the washcloth and washed my pussy but it was raw and itchy so I took the rag from him and did it myself. My stomach started fluttering and I decided then that I wanted to fuck him. Whenever someone showed me attention, I wanted to take things to the next level and I never understood why.
“I was doing it too rough?” He asked me.
“Naw.” I smiled wiping between my legs. “You weren’t too rough.”
His jeans were soak and wet and he looked so sexy with the water running all over his body. "You want me to leave?" He asked looking up at me.
“No, you can stay.”
He took off his jeans and then his boxers and I saw his large dick standing before me. "Can I kiss you?" He asked me.
“Kali, I’ma be real with you, if you want to be with me like this, then you have to be able to keep it between me and you. I love Jace in my own way and don’t want to lose him. Can you understand that?”
“I got you.” He said seriously.
“You sure?”
“Yeah. I got you.” He smiled.
That was his favorite saying, ‘I got you.’ But I think only he knew what that really meant.
“Well you can kiss me.”
When he kissed me I was surprised at how soft his lips were. While I fell into his kisses, he parted my legs and entered my wet pussy. I wanted him to bust off inside of me, because if Jace didn’t cum tonight, it would be hard for me to pass a baby off on him later. I needed to get pregnant within weeks of us having sex, because I wasn’t sure if Jace would want to fuck me again. My mouth opened and I loved how he felt. The slickness of my juices surrounded his dick and I hoped he wouldn’t get the same irritation Jace had earlier. When he appeared to be enjoying it so did I.
“Can I fuck you in your ass?”
“Huh?” I said wiping the water out of my face.
“I want to fuck you in the ass. You gonna let me?”
“Uh…Yeah, but don’t cum in my ass. I want you to cum inside of me.”
He turned me around and didn’t enter me right away. Instead he bent down, took two fingers and slipped them into my asshole. Then he took his fingers out and sucked them. He did it again and again and I thought it was so weird. What exactly was he into?
“You used the bathroom today?” He asked me looking up at me.
“What?”
“Did you take a bowel movement today?”
“Earlier…Why? You smell something?”
“Naw.”
But he seemed to be disappointed. So he stood up and he fucked me in the ass for a while before turning me around and reentering my pussy. I had to admit, he was the right size and I liked that about him. I was caught up in the feeling and had my eyes closed for most of the time but Kali appeared to not look away from me once.
"I’m feelin’ you, Harmony." He said seriously. He lifted me up so that my legs surrounded his waist and my back pressed against the wet shower wall.
We were so caught up into the moment that I didn’t hear Shirley enter the bathroom.
“HOLD UP! I KNOW GOT DAMN WELL YA’LL NOT FUCKING IN MY HOUSE!” Shirley said moving the shower curtain open, exposing our nakedness.
I jumped down and
stepped outside the shower. Kali didn’t bother to cover his naked body. “BITCH, GET OUT OF HERE!” I yelled walking toward the door to push her out.
“HARMONY, IF YOU WANT TO FUCK SO BAD, YOU BETTA GET YOUR OWN PLACE!”
“Shirley, get the fuck outta here before I go off!”
“I’M SERIOUS!”
“Oh…It’s okay for me to lick you and suck Charles’s dick for all those years but if somebody else wants to be with me and make me feel good, it’s a problem?”
Silence.
It was the first time I’d ever talked about what she and Charles made me do out loud to her with someone else in the room. Embarrassed, Shirley finally walked out of the door. When she was gone Kali looked at me strangely.
“What did you mean ‘lick you’ and ‘suck Charles’s dick’?” He asked seriously.
“Kali, I don’t want to talk about it. Okay?”
“Alright, but whatever happened between ya’ll, is not your fault. I wish I could kill everybody who takes advantage of kids when they can’t help themselves.” He appeared to go somewhere else in his mind and I kissed him softly on the chest bringing him back to reality.
“Let’s just worry about us. Okay?”
He lifted me back up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. His hand rested on the wall for support as he drilled into my pussy over and over again. As he pushed deeper into my cave I felt my body shiver. Who would have ever thought that Kali and me could be like this together? He was in sync with me and I was in sync with him.
