I was pissed at the fact that he had both of us come there. Who does he take me for? I am not going to play this game with him or any other man. Legend came running after me and I kept right on walking. He grabbed my wrist and tried to pull me into him. I twisted his wrist for him to let me go and threw his arm into him. Then I rushed inside the limo with my girls on my heels.
Chapter 11
Epiphany
I was prepared to get my man back tonight. I am sick and tired of Danger’s abusive and possessive ass. He can’t seem to keep his meat in his pants or his hands out my face. I am a beauty and I do not deserve to be treated like trash. I stand at five feet eleven with no heels. Washboard abs, thick thighs, grey eyes and I have a nice little behind that fit my frame. Danger stunted on me. He tricked me into believing that he had mad paper only to find out he is just a worker. I cheated on a man that treated me like royalty and is a king in the streets for a peasant.
What more could a girl have asked for? I just thought I was missing something and messed around and lost my man. I could have went back on hands and knees begging for forgiveness from my man but Danger has some type of hold on me that I can’t explain. Even though he treats me like shit at times I know that he will kill behind me and for me. He knew I was Legend’s woman and he came after me on purpose.
Legend and Danger started the GMB together. They were making money hand over fist. From what I heard they were a good team but Danger kept messing up. The traps kept getting raided because of his carelessness so Legend started to pull back. The breaking point came when Legend’s cousin ended up getting killed behind some mess that Danger had started. Legend killed every dude that was involved in killing his cousin and almost killed Danger too. After all that he took his loyal soldiers and they started doing their own thing. Danger has it out for Legend and I had been saving him but no more after he let that bitch do me like that.
Tonight ended in a total disaster. I got out of the house in high hopes of having some fun and getting me some of that good wood that Legend has. My girls are pissed and ditched me because of what happened at the club. Those broads are my riders but they get on my nerves sometimes. I really can’t be mad at them since it had been a minute since I have been able to hang with my girls Tiffany and Sam. I know tonight was supposed to be for us but seeing who it was all over him turned me into a jealous rage. It didn’t help that they were in my ear. Sam being the instigator of us three tapped me on my shoulder and whispered in my ear,
“Piphy look over there, your man is all hugged up with some trick. Do you see the way she is all over him? Girl it couldn’t be me right now because I would be kicking some ass!”
“Shut up Sam!” Tiffany screamed.
“Sam, Tiffany, you two follow me. He really got me messed up having some girl all over him when he knows I was coming tonight.”
Tiffany scrunched her face up at my remark and rudely said, “Girl this is your fault! How can you expect that man to show you any type of respect after you cheated on him with Danger’s no good behind? If you would have kept your legs closed then your “Man” as you say wouldn’t be over there hugged up with the next chic. If Legend was my man we would be making plans to walk down the aisle by now.”
“Well Tiffany, get over it. He is not your man and you are not my momma! Besides, we both know you shouldn’t be judging anyone when your boyfriend is a happily married man,” I said as I whipped my hair over my shoulder.
“While you and Tiffany are having it out your man is over there making it rain hundreds on that slut,” Sam said with an evil grin.
Sam lived for drama so the drama that was unfolding at this minute was right on time for her. Sometimes I don’t know how I am even friends with this drama queen and holier than thou heifers. This is the very reason why I allowed Danger to tell me to stop hanging with them so much. I didn’t have time to sit and argue with them, it was time for me to go get my man. I sashayed on over like a model in my all red Prada dress and my black six inch Prada heels that make my legs look as if they go on for miles. His boys looked at me and grinned when they saw me because they knew I was pissed. I flipped them the bird and kept on pushing. I hated them as much as they hated me.
I walked up on Legend and stood there watching him watch her for two minutes before I tapped him on his shoulder. I knew he could smell me a mile away because I made sure I wore the Gucci Guilty fragrance that he loved for me to wear. This girl had him under a trance or something and I wasn’t feeling that. He had the nerve to turn around and look at me as if I was annoying him and told me he was busy. I felt so disrespected and embarrassed. It was once a time when he wouldn’t have even looked at another woman nor would he have made me feel like this. I knew not to put my hands on him so I decided to take it out on her instead.
I stepped around him to start something with her but when I saw her face I froze. I could not believe that he was here with Trutice. A gun would have been great to have because I would have blown both of their heads off. She was still grinding on him with a smirk on her face taunting me, forcing me to take some kind of action. When I said something to him she had the nerve to talk to me as if he was her man. That was it, I drew my hand back to throw my drink on them and that skank kicked me in the chest. I wasn’t ready for that so there was no way I could counter her move. I flipped over the booth behind me and busted my lip on the table. I know my girls are down no matter who or what the situation is but tonight we weren’t ready. They kicked our butts, I will admit that but this is far from over.
We have had a few fights before but tonight she really put it on me. How will I be able to explain this black eye to my Danger? He is out of town supposedly on business and I was supposed to be home waiting for him to come back. He has warned me many times and told me to stay as far away from Legend or else it will be some problems. I had been doing well by staying away but I want that man so bad. Legend was one of the best lovers that I ever had. His sex isn’t the only thing that makes me want him though. I miss the extravagant lifestyle that I had become accustomed to. Danger can hit my spots good but he can’t afford me. If I wouldn’t have ever cheated with Danger then Trutice wouldn’t have had a chance.
Speaking of Trutice, she has been a thorn in my side ever since we were kids. I met her one summer when she was my sparring partner at taekwondo class and from there we had become friends. We both are black belts so I would have given her the business if I wasn’t caught off guard. When school started back she came to my school. Myst, Trutice and I were good friends until seventh grade when she started going out with the guy she knew I liked. Johnathon Hensley was the flyest boy in school. He was light complexion, tall with curly hair and was cut up like he had hit the gym his whole life. We had a class for eighth period and used to always flirt back and forth until he met Trutice. I met the girls in the hall and was standing there talking when he walked up to speak to me. We weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend but our relationship had been going pretty good in my eyes until he laid his eyes on her. His body appeared to be frozen as he stood there with his mouth open in a daze. I snapped my fingers and waved my hands in his face a few times and still got no response.
Once he realized what he was doing and finally came to he completely ignored me. He didn’t hear a word that I said nor did he even see me standing there anymore. My heart was crushed and my feelings were hurt beyond belief because I had been liking him since I met him but he had never looked at me the way he was looking at her. Trutice was never shy so she took full advantage of the situation. I was pissed because I had told her that I liked him a little while back. When I mentioned it to her she said that she liked him too so whichever one he chose would date him and the other wouldn’t be mad. I pinky promised but when he chose her I felt betrayed. We were kids then so she got to live but this time she has gone too far. I got something for her!
Chapter 12
Truth
I should have known it was going to be too good to be true! I refuse to be o
ut here fighting over a man that isn’t mines. What makes the situation even worse is that Epiphany is his ex. My nostrils are flared, my chest is tight and I can’t seem to shake the evil thoughts of killing her out of my mind. Legend has been calling me back to back since I left the club but I’m not feeling him right now. My girls are in the limo all hyped about what happened but I am not enjoying this shit. For once I would like to have a dude that does not come with all the extra drama. I had enough of that with my ex and I refuse to take myself through the drama again. No other man will ever get the satisfaction of dragging me through the mud and making a fool out of me!
As I sit here looking out the window thinking to myself I can’t help but to wonder what could have been had things went right tonight? Out of nowhere the driver slams on the breaks, my head hits the window and I am dazed for a quick second. I reach for my purse to get my twenty-two because I guarantee I am not going down without a fight but my purse had flown to the floor so I couldn’t reach it. The situation has clicked to everyone so the girls are getting themselves together and war mode has set in. While I am still trying to grab my purse the door flies open and I am being snatched from my seat. I didn’t know who wanted me but I do know what I have done and what I am capable of so I wasn’t worried. I swing as he picks me up but the licks don’t seem to faze him.
“Beautiful, beautiful, calm down baby girl; it’s me Legend!”
“Fuck you Legend! What made you think this would be cool?” I said as I continued to swing. I was pissed off and there was no way that he could have thought this would be the right thing to do! I looked over his shoulder to catch a glimpse of my girls and they are all standing there cheesing like this isn’t happening.
“Put me down right damn now Legend!”
“No, you’re coming with me.” He said as he walked me over to his ride.
“I am not going anywhere with you after the shit that happened tonight so you may as well put me down before I do something to make you put me down.
“You are coming with me so you may as well calm your ass down!”
Legend carried me to his Rolls-Royce Phantom while I kicked and screamed obscenities. He could care less what I was doing and what I was talking about. Truth be told, if I really wanted to get away from him then I could. His first mistake was putting me over his shoulder. My girls haven’t said anything nor have they came to help so his boys must have laced them up on what he was going to do. Legend was so determined to take me with him that once we reached the car he had his driver open the door and he got in the car with me still in his arms. I pouted my lip then crossed my arms over my chest so that he could see that I was mad. I tried to get out of his lap so that I can move on the other side but he held on tighter.
“I’m sorry beautiful, I did not mean to put you in a situation like that. I really want to kick it with you and make you mine someday so I need you to forgive me.”
“I will not be doing this with you. This is the first time we meet up to hang and I had to beat your ex, who is my number one enemy by the way, in the club and then you kidnap me!! What the hell, I can see that this relationship will be nothing but drama.” I said as I crossed my arms over my chest and looked him in the eyes.
“You didn’t mention the other thing you did though,” he said with a smirk.
“I have no idea what you are talking about and I am through talking.” I said with my lips poked out and a roll of the eyes.
“I like your feistiness I really do, so no matter how mad you continue to act or how quiet you try to remain you are coming with me and that’s final.”
I continued to pout yet I knew that fighting with him right now was a no win situation. I huffed a few more times to blow off some steam then rested my head onto his chest and got comfortable. He squeezed me tighter then began to roam his hands all over my back firm and gently. The massage was much needed and I liked the feeling that was coming over me. He refused to let me go no matter how much I stirred and I really don’t know if I wanted him to. I really wanted to enjoy him but my mind was consumed with the thoughts of all the drama that is sure to come if I give him a chance.
Slow jams played in the background on this quiet ride. Tink’s song, “Treat Me Like Somebody” had me in my feelings even more. I softly sang to myself,
“Somebody real is hard to find
Somebody worth all your time
Somebody who can tell you the truth
Someone who loves you for you
Someone who knows all of your flaws &
Doesn't impose, try to control them
Let's you be free
Doesn't deceive &
Gives you a chance to believe
Believe in something
Is that too much?
Cause I've been on the search and I'm losing my hope
Is that too much? Is that too much?
Trying to find love in a world so cold
Is that too much?
I just want an answer, I can't be the only one
Is that too much?
You ain't got to be perfect
Just give me a purpose to love
I just want somebody (body)
To treat me like somebody (body)
Won't be like everybody (body)
All you got to do is love me for me baby.”
I could feel exactly what she was saying because I have been let down a few times after I opened my heart. Sometimes I think it is so easy to kill my male victims because of what I had been through. He rubbed my hair then lifted my chin so that my gaze could meet his eyes. I was locked in and the gaze was so intense that I had to turn my head. He let me into the windows of his soul and I knew if I didn’t get as far away from him as I can then he will be able to consume me into his world.
The ride to his home stayed quiet for the remainder of the way as we both were consumed by our thoughts. The blood that pumped through our hearts was at one, two different beats that danced to the same tune. I was resting so peacefully in his arms and before I know it we were at our destination. The driver punched in the code and the gate buzzed then slid open. We pulled into the gate and drove what seemed five more minutes before we reached the front of the mini mansion. The lawn that was before me was so extravagant. Palm trees, beautiful beds of flowers in all different shade and colors, plus a huge statue of a lion graced the massive front yard. The yard was very impressive and the Mediterranean style home was just as beautiful. Legend is a man that exudes power. You know that you are in the presence of a man who is a boss, a man who is about his business without him even opening his mouth.
“We are here,” was all he said as he got out of the car with me cradled to his arms like a baby.
Chapter 13
Legend
It’s something about this woman that would not allow me to let her leave because I knew that if she got away from me then there may have been no getting her back. Piphy being her usual selfish self thinks that she can have her cake and eat it too. What made matters even worse is that the two are enemies. I can only imagine how Beautiful is feeling right now. I just have to show her that there is no more of that situation. Piphy had called my phone back to back whining about how she wanted to see me. I was in a bad mood but didn’t feel like fighting with her so I told her where we would be for Roe’s birthday. Honestly, I had forgotten all about the invite. She hasn’t gotten it through her head yet that it is completely over but I will show her. I will not let her mess this up for me.
I’m sure glad that I had the driver to meet me at the club so that I could leave and go my separate way once I had enough of the club. My boys all know that clubs aren’t really my scene and they were probably surprised that I stayed as long as I did. I had to do it big for Roe. That’s my youngin. My initial plan was to chill a bit then have my shorty leave with me to go have breakfast but plans changed the minute she tried to walk out of my life.
I raced out the door behind her but got caught up in the crowd. When I finally made
it outside I saw her getting into a backseat of the limo. I raced to my driver and told him to follow them. Just as we were about to pull off my boy were pulling on the door. I tried to tell them that I was going to get my shorty. They hurriedly piled in the car and said they were coming with me for protection.
Infamous was laughing hard as hell then said, “Bro, Lil Momma you got there is the truth. Did you see the way she kicked Piphy in her chest. That crooked bitch flipped over the damn seat.”
We laughed so hard that we had tears in our eyes. I was cradling my arm over my stomach trying to calm myself. Roe was flipped over to the side with his head back trying to catch his breath and so were the others. After a few minutes the laughter finally died down a bit and I looked at Infamous.
“Bro all of them are some bad bitches. Those girls fought as if they had been trained by the best. They all had on heels but did not lose balance nor was a hair on their head touched.” “I peeped that. I will find out more about them tomorrow but what I really want to know is what do you plan on doing once we catch up to their limo?” said Infamous.
“Bruh, you know me very well so you already know that I’m going to snatch her little ass out and bring her with me.”
“You better be careful with running up on her. It’s something about her that tells me that she is a lot like me.” He warned.
I wasn’t trying to hear nothing that he was saying. He already knows that I’m going to do what I want to do anyway. My body is tensed up and my eyes are fixed on the limo. She was not getting away from me. They slowed down and that’s when I told the driver to speed up and cut them off. My driver did as he was told and before the car even came to a halt, I was out. I ran upon the side that I saw her get in and snatched the door open. Trutice was reaching for something so I snatched her out before she got to it. Her girls aimed their guns at me looking as if they were ready to kill. I don’t care, they better do what they have to do because she’s coming with me whether she wants to or not.
