My arms were around his neck as I smiled flirtatious and said, “I missed you.”
“I missed you too.” When he spoke, those beautiful gray eyes were damn near sparkling.
Then, regret filled my heart as I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. I knew it was Chance, so I had to go.
“Listen. I have to make a run. How long will you be here?”
“For awhile. Come back.”
I promised Omari that I would as I finished off my drink. Then I hurried towards the door. Once outside, I literally ran to my car and away from the biting air. It was a cold December day- only thirty degrees.
No matter how cold it was outside, I was hot as hell on the inside with thoughts of Omari running through my mind as I turned on the radio.
“Yet another pregnant woman was gunned down on the Southside last night. Tina Presley, twenty-seven and four months pregnant was gunned down during a drive by on Seventy-Ninth and Racine. This is the second time this year a pregnant woman has been murdered by gun violence. Aeysha Richardson was gunned down just two months ago outside of her home. This violence has to…”
I shut the DJ up by turning off the radio.
Fuck that bitch! I was tired of hearing about Aeysha! She was dead, but I was hearing her fucking name more than I did when she was alive.
Urgh!
But all is well that ends perfectly. Finally, I had my man. No longer was I the bitch that lost to some other trick. Finally, after all of the planning, plotting, and scheming, I was number one and it felt so fucking good.
As I pulled into the gas station on Eighty-Seventh and State with the biggest smile on my face thinking of Omari, I spotted Chance standing in a black North Face bubble coat. I blew the horn. He spotted me and quickly came over to the car.
I popped the lock and reached for my purse. By the time he climbed in and shut the door, I handed him the blank envelope full of cash.
All he could say was, “Bet.”
During this entire time, Chance had been very nonchalant about this whole thing. But he needed the money more than life itself, so I knew, no matter his attitude, he would follow through with the plan.
“You’re leaving town, right?”
He didn’t have a choice really. Staying in Chicago was too risky. Even though Omari said that Aeysha’s murder case had grown cold, I did not want to risk Chance lingering around Chicago.
As he opened the envelope and thumbed through the cash, he nodded slowly.
“It’s all there,” I assured him. “Twenty-five thousand dollars.”
Twenty-five thousand dollars to kill that bitch Aeysha. I could not believe it. But, I can’t even deny that when Omari wrapped his arms around me and kissed me, I felt like it was worth every penny. Besides, after killing Tammy, I was even more willing to pay someone to get rid of Aeysha for me.
Tammy had it coming though! I saw that bitch fucking Omari. The day I found out about Aeysha, I went to his house. I wasn’t expecting to see anything. I just sat out there staring, wishing that I was the one living in there with him. When I saw him leave the house, I trailed him to that club. Then I just sat out there all night, wondering if I should go in. So I was parked a few cars down when him and Tammy got into the backseat of his car. A few days after that bitch had the nerve to look like she questioned if Omari was really my man, I went back over her mother’s house to confront her “perfect” ass about fucking Omari.
You know what that bitch had the nerve to tell me? She had the audacity to call me crazy for following him. She called me a psycho stalker. Then she had the nerve to tell me that Omari wasn’t my man and would never want me. She said that I would never be anything in my life but a side bitch.
I showed that bitch how he would never want her slut ass again when I choked her motherfuckin’ ass to death.
I was just so mad that she was talking to me like that! She was right. After falling for another man, I was still playing second string to some bitch. I felt so stupid and so angry. And when Tammy sat there looking at me like I was worthless, I felt like Tammy had transformed into the main bitch to all them niggas that didn’t choose me. So I leaped over and just started choking the bitch! I was choking her so hard that I could feel the ridges of her esophagus against my fingertips.
I was in a trance of rage. I honestly didn’t realize what I was doing until she was taking her last breath. For thirty minutes, I sat there in shock wondering what the fuck to do with her body before her mother came home. Then I drug her body out to the garage and into my car, drove it to the forest preserve, and set her on fire to burn any evidence. I knew everybody would think it was Jimmy.
I felt bad, but I had always envied Tammy so much that I wished she would go away. Even when Jimmy would call me trying to find her, I would give him her new number and even told him where she was.
After getting away with killing Tammy, I was even more convinced to kill Aeysha, especially if I didn’t do it myself. I had always planned to pay Chance to do the dirty work. At first, I put my mother’s house up for sale to get the money to loan to Omari so that he could buy into Ching’s camp. I figured that would be a way to get his attention again. But, as he distanced himself more and more, I figured I could use the money to pay Chance to get rid of Aeysha all together. Chance needed the money, was a naive kid down on his luck that had a crush on me, and I needed him.
Since Aeysha was on bed rest, my plan that day was for Chance to break into the apartment and kill Aeysha. As Chance and I sat in my car at the end of the block, waiting on Omari to leave, never once did I think to stop, and neither did he. We both needed it for very different desperate reasons.
When we spotted her walking down the front steps, it was perfect timing.
I always had a gut feeling that once Aeysha was out of the picture, Omari would be all mine. Now, she had been completely erased out of the gawd damn picture and finally, finally, I was number one.
Finally, I won.
