Things Get Heated
Having to look over my shoulder is getting old real fast. I weaved through busy Saturday afternoon traffic in my rented Nissan Altima. Searching through the streets for a silver Infinity as I headed over to my boy Dreās spot on Woodland Ave made me feel off my game.
I hit up Dre before I parked so I wouldnāt have to spend time on the porch. Before I could lift my hand to the door crazy ass Candy was there holding it open.
āHey Sexyā
āHey, where Dre?ā I walked by her being sure not to touch her on my way in.
āHeās upstairs; you need another red light Candy special?ā Her words meant nothing to me at this point.
āNo thanks, my arm is still fucked up where you bit meā I headed for the staircase not turning to see her rolling her eyes. Chuck stood at the top of the stairs with his Glock 23 clearly visible under his shirt.
āDre waiting for you in the backā he nodded his head in the direction of the back room. I guess he was supposed to be security.
I tapped on the door twice before opening. It was like entering into a man cave/security booth.
He had about ten 13 inch TVās filling the walls feeding him images of each section of the house. There was one 52ā inch TV resting in a large entertainment center, blasting a college basketball game. Dre sat in a black lay Z boy with his feet propped up.
āHey Rah, I was just talking to my manās about youā Dre never took his eyes off the game.
āWell what did he have to say?ā
āHe said the streets wasnāt talking, he hadnāt heard anything but would keep an eye outā
I couldnāt believe I would have to walk around paranoid until someone found out something.
āYou sure itās not one of those chicken heads you screwed around with? I keep telling you to stop fucking with fifty broads. Keep one ride or die and you have only one problemā
Maybe he was right having to many women to keep track of was a hassle. You never know if two or more of them know each other. If one of them saw me out with someone they couldāve pitched a fit leaving me windowless. Whoever it was I knew Iād have to find her and fast.

Itās been a few days since Iāve last seen Raheim. I felt bad for kicking him out but
I couldnāt have him bringing all of his girl drama to my house right now. I especially didnāt feel like hearing about another damned woman being scorned. After work I stopped to pick up a pregnancy test regretting that decision as I stood in front of my bathroom doorway. The lump in my throat wouldnāt go away no matter how hard I swallowed. Itās now or never. I hyped myself up to pee on a stick that would determine my fate. If it came back negative I would go out for a drink but if it came back positive I would most likely find myself passed out on the bathroom floor.
I closed my eyes and counted to three, refusing to look at the stick until after I changed my clothes and ate dinner. I tried hard to swallow my baked chicken and mashed potatoes from last nightās leftovers.
āWhy are you tripping? Youāre not pregnant and youāre gassing your head up for nothing?ā I spoke aloud thinking maybe if I heard the words it would somehow make them true. When there was nothing more for me to do I did a slow death walk to the bathroom. I saw the white stick sitting on the sink daring me to look. Before I could convince myself to run out of that small ass bathroom I lifted the stick to see the pink positive sign jumping back at me. I was pregnant and it was final, no more guessing, pretending or ignoring the fact that my stomach was getting tight
and my breast were tender.
āShit!!!ā I screamed to no one and everyone. I wanted to be happy, I wanted to act like I was going to be ok doing everything on my own but most importantly I wanted to cry for being so damned stupid.

I tried to find a quiet place to read the letter Amir just sent. My cellmate was talking with a group of girls in our room so that was out of the question. I found an empty chair in the library and looked over my shoulders a few times before taking a seat. There were a few shady bitches that hated the idea of someone else getting mail. I was happy to see that he put a few dollars on my commissary so I wouldnāt have to worry like the rest of these broads. He gave my letters to Raheim and said he wasnāt that thrilled to receive them. I knew that much, his ass was just like his dad so it would take a moment for him to come around. I tried not to cry when I read that he was praying for me. Sons arenāt supposed to pray for their mamas.
I would do anything to go home again even kiss Raheimās spoiled ass until he helped out. Amir was loyal and thatās why I had a soft spot for him. I couldnāt help but favor him especially with how much attention he gave me when I first was sentenced to this hell hole. He wrote me letters and sent me his allowance money. I had to tell him to be careful not to let Sadie know what he was doing or sheād put an instant stop to it.
Sadie ran a tight ship and wouldnāt even let my mom and dad see the boys for almost four
years until my mom went around to her house crying in the streets saying she was sorry for what
I did. Carlos was her baby brother and she never liked me from jump but I didnāt care. For a moment I was the hottest bitch on the block. I had the best clothes, the finest dude and rode in the hottest cars. Carlos gave me everything until I gave him his kids then I was a nobody, a toy to be played with on a whim and thrown away when he was done. Well not me, I had to teach him that I wasnāt a joke and that he couldnāt play around with my kids like that. Where was Sadie when her brother was promising to come and visit the boys? Where was she when he said he didnāt care if we had food to eat? His pretty ass needed someone to give him a wakeup call and I was just the one to do it.
I eased out of my chair and walked back to my cell. There were about five chicks standing around talking about who was visiting who next week. I had better things to think about like getting out of here before I went crazy. I didnāt pretend to like any of my cellmateās friends; they were all back stabbers and loved drama, real or imagined. I walked over to my small metal desk and picked up my notebook and pencil.
āWhat? You donāt speak?ā It was always the same brown skinned chick with a short kinky afro that had to comment.
āMy lips aināt move did they?ā She was too young to be on my level and I knew she was itching to get a name for herself. What she didnāt know was that I already branded myself and everyone else in here knew it. I didnāt back down from nobody and I damn sure didnāt show anybody fear.
āHey Nikki, chill I donāt feel like the heat coming in here todayā Carla calmed her girl down and
I left the small room to head back to the library. Being behind bars turned many a weak mind into animals. Only the strong survive and I was going to make sure I was the last one standing.
Raheim Starz
When I got home I didnāt check my messages even though my phone was blinking. I already left a message with my landlord letting her know I was considering moving out. Whoever was after me knew where I lived, which was unacceptable. I needed to get away and fast. Before I could change my mind I picked up my phone and called Feliciaās number. It rang five times before I heard her voice on the other end. Without thinking I closed my eyes at the sound of her voice. With all of this crazy shit happening around me she was the only person I knew who made me see clearly.
āHey Felicia, I need to ask you a questionā
āRaheim? Youāre the only person I know who calls to ask questions after not speaking for weeksā She sounded happy like she had a smile on her face.
āWell, You abandoned me remember? Iām still back at the last night we spent togetherā She became quiet almost like she hit the mute button.
āFelicia, why you switching shit up on me? Youāve been ducking and weaving for over a month now. Avoiding the hell outta me and I want to know why?ā
āRaheim I know thatās not what you called here for? Iāve been busy and weāre not in a relationship. Sorry if I broke the mold, if I want more than what the hell you tryna give.ā
āWhat Iām tryna give? Yo where is all of this coming from? Am I in the fucking twilight zone or some shit?ā I couldnāt believe I was calling to ask her to take a trip and as crazy as she was
acting I was tempted to change my mind but I wanted to see her.
āYouāre right, weāre not in a relationship and Iām sorry for coming at you all crazy but thatās not why Iām calling. I wanted to know if you would be up for a trip to Jamaicaā
āBoy, Jamaica what is wrong with you? I have to work and my bills donāt pay themselvesā She laughed it off but I could hear the hesitation in her voice.
āHow about this, you come with me and I got you. Donāt worry about your bills, your rent none of that shit.ā I knew that I would beg if she didnāt say yes.
āI canāt, what about my job I canāt just leave. I have to get approved for vacation timeā
āI need you Felicia, Iāve never needed anybody and right now I need you. I will pay your bills for a year if you say yes but I need you to spend this time.ā If she said no it would drive me crazy.
āIf youāre serious then Iāll go but I donāt have a passportā
āWell you have two weeks to get one,
