Rags to Riches: My Thug Angel 2

by Andrea Sad'e

  “Mama, I’m finna have Slick meet me here so we can let the girls play with each other.

  “Nigga, ya’ll just tryna eat.”

  “Yea, you can say that too,” I said, chuckling and sending Slick a text letting him know that my mom was cooking, and to meet me there.

  Chapter 3:

  Gena:

  “Ms. Houston, you have a visitor by the name of Kaleb King,” my CNA told me. Since we had woken up, Ace and Slick had directed them to let us know who was entering our room before they let them through for safety reasons; with some extra bucks included for the head of nursing, they made it happen. I looked at Rayna, who was looking at me like who tf is that.

  “Let him in please, thank you.” I looked at Rayna “You know the nigga I told you I had met at the club?”

  “Ohhhhh shit, oh okay,” Rayna said, turning her attention back to the television.

  Kay walked in the door looking so fucking cute wearing some Nike sweat pants, a white tee, his white Jordan 11’s, and a gold Rolex. He looked like he was fresh out of a barber’s chair with the sides cut low by his temples, and his low curly hair at the top of his head.

  “Wassup, Yolk head ass girl,” he said with a smile.

  “Shut the fuck up, Mexican,” she said laughing.

  “Now you know a nigga get offended about that shit right there. I’m Puerto Rican and nigga.”

  “So nigga is a race now, huh?”

  “Damn right,” he said, getting closer to me. “Gimme a hug girl,” he said, sitting on my bed. I sat up and hugged him, taking in his scent; he always smelled like he was fresh out of the shower, and I love that about a man.

  “Don’t you ever scare me like that again, nigga,” he said, fake crying.

  “Shut up punk, and I won’t.”

  “Oh Kay, this is my best friend Rayna. Unfortunately, she got shot the same day I got into my accident, but we both pulled through thankfully. Rayna, this is my male best friend, Kaleb King.”

  “Why does that name sound so familiar?” she said, looking like she was deep in thought.

  “I don’t know but when you figure it out let me know,” I said, chuckling.

  “Shut up heffa,” she said, chuckling and returning to watching her TV.

  “So Kaleb, to what do I owe this visit?”

  “I just wanted to come see how you were doing. I was here before you woke up so I was just coming back to see you, and I see yo damn head still big as fuck, so I guess you’re doing just fine.” I laughed a little. “What’s wrong, Gena?”

  “I’ve just been through so much today, man.”

  “You wanna talk about it?”

  “Yea, but can you promise not to judge me?”

  “I promise,” he said, looking into my eyes.

  “My fuck ass baby daddy gave me Trichomoniasis. The doctor gave me medicine to get rid of it, but I just can’t believe him. He just can’t stop himself. I even made him get tested after he cheated, but for some reason all his tests came back negative so he must have cheated again before coming back to me,” I said, allowing tears to roll down my face. He wiped my tears with his finger.

  “Aye, stop that.”

  “I’m just stupid,” I said, covering my face. He took his shoes off and got in the bed with me.

  “If it makes you feel any better Gena, I had pubic lice in high school,” he said, looking at me trying to hold in a laugh.

  “Get the fuck out,” I said, laughing and pointing to the door. “I’m serious, a nigga had to shave all his pubic hair off and shit, had me looking like a fuckin naked mole rat; and it was fucking cold outside, dick was on shriv.” We both busted out laughing, and Rayna did too; I guess she heard what he said. Kay looked over at her and started laughing again. “Ya’ll ain’t right. Now the whole world's gonna know,” he wrapped his arms around me tighter and laid his head on my chest.

  “I missed you, Kaleb.”

  “I missed you too, Yolk head,” he said, looking at the TV. My nurse came in.

  “Hello Miss Housto-” She stopped speaking when she saw Kaleb. “What are you doing here with her?” she asked angrily.

  “See, I don’t even have time for this kinda shit,” I said under my breath.

  “Can you just do your job and leave? Since when did I ever have to explain anything to you?”

  “Since you was fucking me yesterday,” she said, looking satisfied. I laughed out, loud and she seemed a little bothered by the fact that I wasn’t mad.

  “Girl, you better get up out of here before you lose ya life. Telling my damn business. I’ve murked niggas for less,” Kay said, never looking the slightest bit stressed or upset about the situation. He continued to watch TV.

  I called the head of nursing requesting a new nurse. I didn’t give her a bad rep or anything, I just wanted a new one. Twenty minutes later, my new nurse walked in and introduced herself.

  “Hello, I’m Kelly and I’ll be your nurse. I talked to both of your doctors’ and discharge is set for the two of you tomorrow.

  “Yessss,” we both cheered. It was cut short when Ace walked through the door.

  Rayna

  Ace walked in the door with some bags in his hand and his mama behind him. When he saw Kay, I could see the rage in his eyes.

  “Ma, take Ahleya out for a second,” he said, walking towards Gena’s bed where Kay was looking unbothered. “Why the fuck are you here?” he asked Kay.

  “Nigga, is this yo pussy?” Kay shot back.

  “Fuck all that, nigga; you know how we gets down,” Ace said with a straight face

  “What, you gone shoot me now?” Kay challenged.

  “Nah, that ain’t even my cup of tea, nigga; I’ll mop the floor with yo ass,” Ace said, getting closer to Kay.

  “Ace, baby please calm down. We’re in a hospital,” I commented. He gave me a death glare.

  “Does it look like I give a shit?” he said, focusing back on Kay.

  He had never talked to me like that, so I know he was angry, I also knew that it was my cue to shut the fuck up. I looked up to see Kay getting out of the bed.

  “Let me get out of here Gena, before I have to kill this nigga.”

  “That’ll never happen, homeboy.” Kay kissed Gena on the forehead and said bye to Rayna, and walked out of the room. Ace sat down, rubbing his hand over his face before he started to speak.

  “Gena, I know Slick has hurt you and you have every right to move on, but just not with THAT nigga,”

  “Why not, Ace? Why are ya’ll trying to control my life?” Gena said, her voice laced with attitude. “Did ya’ll not pay attention when ya’ll was doing ya’ll job with the books? That is our connect. Well, was. When we get rid of the rest of his product, we’re gonna have to find another one.”

  “Oh shit,” Gena said, realizing what she had just gotten herself into. She sighed long and hard. “Well, if Slick would have kept his dick in his pants, I would have never given Kay a second look but since we all know that can’t happen, I started building a great friendship with Kay. I understand that this may make you guys mad, but I’m a big girl. I can take care of myself. I will be friends with and/or date whomever I please,” she said to Ace. I gave her a thumbs up, showing her that I was proud of her for standing up for herself. Ace walked over to my bed with a mug on his face.

  “Don’t come over here with that bullshit, Anthony”

  “Watch yo mouth,” he said, sitting down beside me before sitting the bags down and pulling out two food containers. He got up and handed one to Gena, and his mother walked back through the door with a giggly Ahleya.

  “Heyyyyy mama baby!” I almost screamed. I’d missed her so much. I grabbed her and she started giving me slobbery kisses all over my face. I guess she missed me too.

  “Da-da,” she said smiling at me with her two little pecks.

  “WHAT SHE SAY?” Ace said all loud.

  “Nothing nigga, sit down.”

  “Da-da,” Ahleya said again. He grabbed her out of
my hand and she kept saying it.

  “Yessss mama, I knew I was your favorite,” he cooed to her. I rolled my eyes and started eating my food. We heard someone knocking at the door, and in walked Gena’s parents with Kenyah in their arms; they rushed over to Gena.

  “We were on a cruise and didn’t know what happened until today, are you okay?”

  “I’m okay,” she answered, reaching for Kenyah, who gladly went into her arms.

  “Aye baby, I have to go handle something. I will be back to get you tomorrow. If I finish it before late tonight, I’ll come back” I stuck my lips out and started pouting.

  “Okay,” I said after letting out a long sigh.

  “Don’t be like that. This is something that has to be done to ensure the safety of my family.”

  “Okay,” I said, giving him a faint smile. He kissed me on my lips and proceeded to walk out the door, leaving me with the rest of the family whom I was thankful for having because it got lonely here.

  Ace

  “Slick, you ready?” I asked him, driving up to his house.

  “Yea, I’m ‘bout to come out the door.” He came out with a black long sleeved shirt, some black Levi jeans, black steel toe Timberland boots that we both had custom made to look like normal black Timberlands, and a black skullcap. I had on the same attire. Both of us had bulletproof vests on over our shirts. We usually put a hoodie on over them before making our moves.

  “Wassup, light skin,” he said, getting into the van.

  “Boy, shutcho blackass up,” I said before driving off. We drove for a while to get back to the slums of Atlanta. When we got to our destination, we got out of the car and carefully went to the front door of the apartment. When we got in the house, we heard moaning.

  “What the fuck,” I mumbled, feeling sick to my stomach; the thought of these two having sex had my mind all kinds of fucked up. I looked at Slick and he had the same look on his face. I walked to the door and kicked it in, causing them both to fall to the floor in shock.

  “Put on some fuckin underwear. Both of you.” After they got dressed at gunpoint, we put them both in handcuffs and put duct tape over their mouths. “Let’s go,” I said to them, pointing the gun in the direction of the door where Slick was standing.

  “We don’t have to listen to you,” Kenneth spoke. I hit him in the nose with the butt of my gun.

  “You oughta shut the fuck up, dawg. You got my girl in the hospital and shit, and you have the fuck ass nerve to talk shit? Oh yeah, you been breathing way too fucking long,” I said, guiding him and Candice to the van, making sure nobody saw us after putting them in the van and locking them to the seats. All these cars that we had to do dirt in had seatbelts that locked with a key. I got in the driver seat and Slick got on the passenger side.

  “The boys at the warehouse?” I asked Slick.

  “Yea, you know them niggas always ready to do some damage. Little ass niggas like some damn pit bulls.”

  About 30 minutes later, we made it to the warehouse and Slick went to open the backseat doors.

  “Wake the fuck up, niggas! Time to have some fun!!” I started laughing at his ignorant ass. We walked Kenneth and Candice into the warehouse, where Dro, Eric, and two other niggas they had brought along was waiting for us.

  “Wassup boss,” they said, dapping us both up.

  “So what kinda treatment we giving these two?” Dro asked.

  “Well, this one here likes to have sex with little girls, so you already know what we wanna do to him, and her. Make her watch and participate in torturing him. Then kill them both. Don’t do anything until I get back though.”

  Slick and I walked to the office, and I sat down at my desk and FaceTimed Rayna. She popped up on the screen.

  “Ace, what have you done?” she asked me.

  “Why you ask me that?”

  “Cause you have on all black, and we both know that means death for ya’ll.” Slick started laughing at her comment. “And tell Slick to shut up.”

  “Who’s in the hospital room with you?”

  “Just Gena, everybody else went home and the nurses are at a meeting down the hall.”

  “Go get in the bed with Gena so we can ask ya’ll something.”

  Slick got up, and we both walked back to the room where Candice and Kenneth were and put them on the camera. Rayna and Gena started laughing.

  “Ya’ll look pathetic, how does it feel that your fate is now in my hands?” I turned the screen back to Slick and I. “So bae, I need you to give directions on what you want to happen to these two.

  “Hmmmm,” I heard her say, “Cut his dick off and whoop his ass. Make him die slow. Her…tell one of those young niggas to fuck her in the ass and let her live. Keep her in there for a few months until I heal, I want a piece of her.” I looked at the boys.

  “The queen has spoken, ya’ll. Get to work.” I walked back towards my office. “Dro and Eric, ya’ll come here.” They walked over to Slick and I. We walked to my office and closed the door. “Ya’ll watch them boys closely. These lil’ niggas ain’t trustworthy. That lil’ story they gave me about how they got rid of Taylor and Mark’s bodies before allowing me to see them ain’t sitting right with me. Actually, after they rough Kenneth up and kill him and do what they need to do to her mama, kill both of them.”

  “We got you, boss,” they said before walking out of the office.

  “Them lil’ niggas just like us to the point where it’s weird,” Slick said chuckling.

  “Yeah, Mark used to have us killing all types of niggas,” I said chuckling.

  Dro

  “Let’s get this shit done, E,” I said to Eric, who walked back in the room where these two chickens were being held. Eric and I got a quick story about what these two had done throughout my boss man’s lady’s life earlier on the phone, and he knew it would add fuel to the fire making Eric and I have pleasure in directing the torture and execution of these sick fucks.

  Eric and I walked up to the boys we brought with us, Sean and Jay.

  “Get to work,” we said to them, and they walked to the back of the room, picking up a broom and breaking it in half. All of us laid Kenneth down on his stomach and pulled down his shorts. They took the broomstick and shoved it up his ass, causing him to scream out in pure agony.

  “We’ll be back in about ten minutes.” Eric and I wasn’t into watching that shit. We walked outside and smoked a couple of blunts until our ten minutes were up, and we headed back into the warehouse. When we got back into the room, Kenneth was passed out with blood coming from his backside. I kicked him.

  “Wake up, muhfucka.” Eric walked over to Candice, or whatever her name was, and took her hands out of the handcuffs.

  “Don’t try no shit. Do exactly what we tell you to do, or I will paint the walls with your fucking brains,” Eric said, pushing her towards Kenneth.

  “Here,” I said, giving her a knife. Sean and Jay pulled his pants down. She looked at me, and I raised my eyebrow at her. “Cut it the fuck off.”

  She started cutting, and all of us backed up to the door just in case the shit got messy. About 30 minutes later and with the help of Jay and Sean, Kenneth’s penis was cut all the way off.

  “Finish him,” I told Jay, handing him a gun. Jay unloaded on him, and his lifeless body fell straight to the ground. Eric directed Sean and Jay to do to Candice what Rayna had asked, and they started the process.

  “Let us know when you’re done,” we said, walking out of the room and hearing her screams throughout the warehouse. After about 15 minutes, we walked back into the room. Sean and Jay were pulling up their pants. I assume they took turns on her.

  “So how much are we getting paid for this again?” asked Sean. I pulled out my gun and in one quick motion, I shot them both in the head. Their bodies went stiff and fell straight to the ground.

  “Unloyal niggas gets nothing.”

  Eric called the clean-up crew to get rid of the mess and evidence. After cuffing Candice to a w
all in a different room with no windows and a door that only unlocked from the outside, we left the warehouse. It had been a good day.

  Chapter 4:

  1 month later...

  Gena

  “Kay, stop playing before I beat the shit out of you,” I said, straight facing him. I hated to be tickled, and he had my foot in his hand tickling me. We were at his house chilling. Kenyah was with her dad until tomorrow, so mommy had free time. Slick and I had barely talked since that day at the hospital, unless he was asking to get Kenyah or giving me money for her. I honestly didn’t need his money because I made my own on top of what Ace paid us. I just put all of it in a bank account for her when she gets older. Kay and I had been spending a lot of time together since I got out of the hospital. Him and I hadn’t taken it to the next level, but I just appreciated having a friend.

  “What you wanna eat tonight?” he asked, looking at his phone.

  “I don’t know, I was thinking Chops Lobster Bar. That place gives my belly so much life,” I said.

  “Don’t start drooling, girl.”

  “Damn, let’s go.”

  “Shut up, ugly,” I said, getting off the floor. I started walking and felt myself tripping.

  “Nigga, I know you didn’t just tip me.”

  “Don’t be calling me ugly, Yolk head ass girl.”

  We arrived at the restaurant about forty-five minutes later, and were seated by a host.

  “Here are your menus, and your waitress will be with you shortly.” I watched Kay run his hand through his curls at the top of his head.

  “I gotta get a haircut tomorrow.”

  “I like your curls, but I agree; ain’t nothing like a fresh temp fade.”

  “Girl, shut up talking like you know something.”

  “Whatever, Kaleb,” the waitress came to the table.

  “Hello, my name is Krystal and I’ll be your waitress tonight.

  “Can I get you some drinks?” she asked, directing her attention only on Kaleb.
