21. Zelan
I was finished with the shit I had to do so I was about to pull up on shorty.
I dialed her on FaceTime because I wanted to see her face, and to let her know to get her shit together.
I ain’t gon’ lie this lil non pussy giving ass girl had my ass gone.
It was strange because she picked up the phone but didn’t say anything.
I was about to say something until I heard her ask someone what the fuck were they doing in her room.
I listened closely as I increased my speed on the highway.
Then I heard her scream out some shit and I heard a struggle.
The male voice on the other end was saying some shit that had me sick to my stomach and ready to end it all.
“I’ve been wanting your fine ass since the first time I saw you. You about to give me some of this untouched pussy,” he said and on GOD this nigga just signed his death certificate. My body was on fire!
“Hold on, Ari. I’m coming, baby!” I said aloud. I looked in my rearview mirror and saw that my security was on my ass, which was a good thing. I was bending curves left and right trying to get to my girl.
I pulled up in front of Ari’s house, jumping out with the car still running and half of my security team was right behind me. Fuck knocking; I kicked the fucking door off the hinges. I saw some bitch sitting on the couch snortin’ some powder, but I had no time to find out who she was.
“Arrrrrriiii!” I yelled.
“HELP MEEEE!” I heard her scream.
I went from room to room like a fucking tornado was ripping through this bitch. Finally, I found her bedroom and when I saw the way she looked and the fact that this fuck nigga was trying to act like he wasn’t doing shit even though his damn clothes were disheveled, I spazzed the fuck out.
“You want to rape women, you bitch nigga!” I yelled punching and stomping this nigga out. I didn’t give a fuck how he looked; he deserved everything I was giving his ass. I pulled my gun out and was ready to dead this nigga, but the guard grabbed me.
“Not here, sir, it’s too many witnesses,” Van said, and that calmed me, but best believe his day was coming.
“Ari let’s go! Get your important shit!” I ordered and she rushed to her closet to grab her shit. “Ari fuck the clothes; I will buy you clothes. Baby, get your computer for school, important documents, and let’s roll. You won’t be staying here no fuckin’ more!”
She nodded and grabbed what she needed, and we walked out of her room, heading to the living room. The same powder-head chick was sitting on the couch with tears running down her face.
She jumped up. “Did you kill my man? You going to jail for breaking in my house, bitch!” she screamed in my face.
“Ari is this nothing ass bitch your mother?” I asked turning to her. She looked confused as hell, and crying a river of tears, so she nodded to let me know that it was. I turned back to address this piece of shit.
“Bitch don’t ever in your miserable life say shit to her again.
If you do, I’ll kill you! You sat right here and allowed this pussy ass punk to try and rape your daughter.
You were sitting right here on this couch when I kicked the door down; you heard her screams. Bitch, you ain’t shit!
I’ve never been the one to disrespect women but you a nothing ass bitch!
” I went in on this hoe. Ari stood there shocked to hear that her mom was sitting here the whole time listening to her cries and did nothing.
“You allowed that shit, Mom? You didn’t care that your man was trying to rape your daughter!
” Ari yelled and jumped her mom so quick hitting her in her face over and over again.
And guess what I did, I took a seat and let lil baby beat that ass.
My guards waited outside cause I'ma let her beat her til she tired.
I know lil mama was hurt, nothing compared to your own mom allowing some fuck shit to go down.
“I meant what I said, stay the fuck away from her. It’s fucked up that the drugs got you so far gon’ you couldn’t save your daughter from this nigga.
Ain’t no man worth letting him do no shit like that.
You got life and me fucked up! She don’t have to worry about shit no more.
Cause I'm her protector and her fuckin provider. Fuck you!
“Let’s go, baby.” I grabbed Ari’s hand and we headed out to my car. Once we hit the highway, she turned in her seat to face me.
“Zel, thank you so much for helping me. But I can’t impose on you like this. I know you have life outside of mine and taking on me and my responsibilities isn’t something you should have to do.” She cried, wiping the tears from her eyes.
“Ari, have you seen my house? How the hell can you impose on me, girl? And my bank account is just as big. Sit back and relax, I got us,” I spoke as I continued to drive. I never thought about being with just one woman, but Ari was quickly changing all my thoughts on relationships.
I called one of my homegirls and told her to have Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Saks, Nordstrom’s, BEBE and Pink open the stores, so she can go shopping for Ari.
Juelz had this shit set up that way with many of these stores in case my mom wanted to go shopping without all the people being around in the mall.
That nigga was on another level when it came to my mom and Kari.
We made it to my house in under an hour.
“Come on, babe, let’s get you in the house. I’m going to have our private doctor come over and check you out.”
“Zel, thank you. You didn’t have to do any of this but you did, and I'm so grateful.” She looked over at me with teary eyes.
“I got you, shorty. From this point on, I promise I got you.”
She nodded, and we got out the car. We went straight to my room, so I could get her straight.
I went into the bathroom to run her a warm bath, putting some Bath and Body Works bath bombs in the water.
Oh yeah, I stay ready, so I don't have to get ready.
I went back in the room and lifted Ari from the bed, taking her into the bathroom, undressing her, and placing her into the water.
“Wash up. I will get you something to put on,” I told her, and she nodded. When I went back in the room, I picked up my phone to text Meek.
Me: Yo, my nigga, we need to put our plans on ice. I had an emergency that come up.
Meek: You good?
Me: I’m good, I just need to handle this.
Meek: One.
I had already sent Doc a text on the ride here, so he should be pulling up soon. Ari came out the shower, and I gave her one of my t-shirts, and gym shorts to put on.
“You will have clothes here in a few hours,” I said, looking at her with so much sorrow.
“I’m going to be okay, Zel. Don’t worry about me. I should be able to go stay with my sister in a couple of weeks.”
“Do not insult me. Your ass gone stay right here and be comfortable doing it too,” I responded as I walked out of the room to answer the door.
I swung the door open to let Doc in. “Sup, Doc? She’s upstairs. She wasn’t raped, but he did rough her up,” I advised him, shaking his hand and then leading him upstairs.
“Okay, I’ll take care of her,” he said.
“Ari, this is Dr. Miller, he’s our family doctor,” I introduced. She nodded her head.
“Hi, it’s nice to meet you.” She gave him a half smile.
Doc checked Ari out thoroughly and let me know that she was good.
He said her bruises would heal on it’s on but advised of some things to do to help.
He prescribed some pain medicine. and that the bruises would heal.
We were lying in bed watching TV, but when I looked at her, she was just staring into space.
“Zel,” she called out
“Yeah, babe. What’s up?”
“I want him dead,” she whispered and rolled over to go to sleep.
Damn, what a way to say good night, but trust and believe I was going to grant that wish for my shorty.
The next day, I was sitting in my family room chillin’. Ari was out with her friend Toya, still trying to get herself together.
My phone was ringing and it was Meek calling.
“Yo?” I spoke.
“What’s going on with you?”
“Chillin’. Man, what you got for me on that Posh shit?
” I asked, smiling at my niece walking into the family room.
Her dad dropped her off to me this morning because Kari was begging to come over.
That was my heart and I couldn’t say no, if she wanted to move out and runaway from her daddy.
I swear I would be her getaway driver. That little girl was my everything.
“We good on her. Right now, she believes everything is good. We set up a meeting for tonight, where she thinks she’s about to get a promotion.
This chick dumb as hell, man!” Meek laughed.
We didn’t have to place a bounty on Posh because she wasn’t hiding; I guess she assumed we wouldn’t think it was her.
“I’m about to take Kari to my mom’s house, and I will see you tonight.”
“One,” Meek ended the call.
“Kari, you ready to go see grandma?” I asked her.
“Yes, grandma said we are going to bake cookies tonight, and I can’t wait.
” She smiled up at me. Kari and I went shopping earlier, which was something we did once a week.
Shit, pretty soon it won’t be much more I can buy her because she damn near got everything.
Her room in my house is filled with clothes and toys.
“Come on, beautiful. Let’s roll.” She jumped up, grabbed my hand, and we were out the door.
“Uncle Zel, can we ride in my car today?”
“Yep, lil’ momma, come on,” Kari called my white-on-white Bentley Coupe her car. I let her pick out the rims on this bad boy, and the seats have Zel I don’t want shit to do with her.
