Chapter 20
Taking the tire iron, I busted the windows out of Pinkie’s pink Range Rover.
Now see, I wasn’t going to show my ass, but last week the hoe got smart at the mouth when she saw me.
I told her ass not to try me so the only way to get to a bitch like her is get in her pockets.
She parked in the parking lot of Bed, Bath and Beyond.
With all the energy I had, I swung it at her front windshield and shattered it.
I hit it again until the whole windshield caved in.
All that playing baseball helped me out because now I was out of breath and could barely make it to my car. As I pulled out of the parking lot and headed home, Law was calling my phone but I was still trying to breathe. I grabbed the bottled water out of my cup holder as I hit the talk button.
“Summer where the fuck you at?”
“I’m heading home why?”
“Okay, so where you coming from?”
Silence.
“Muthafucka did you hear me ask you a question?”
“I was coming from the store why?”
“Store like…Bed, Bath and Beyond?”
“No, why?”
“I’m behind you, and if I’m correct, you only a few minutes from where the hell I just asked you where you was coming from.”
“Man, this Savannah. I could be coming from anywhere.”
“Pull your raggedy ass over.” He hung up.
Now I was trying to figure out how the hell I got caught.
Pinkie was nowhere in sight when I busted her window.
But why did she call his ass and how the hell he found me so fast?
Where the hell he was coming from? I pulled over at Burger King and waited for Law to pull his car in next to mine.
Yea, he was mad as hell because his face was red.
He snatched my door open and pulled me out.
“You already starting that bullshit I told you I didn’t feel like dealing with when I started back fucking with you. Why the hell you busting windows and shit and you pregnant?”
“Don’t come questioning me. Where the fuck was you at on this side of town anyway?” I snatched away from him. “Yea, your ass can’t answer because you were with her in that damn store. You better be lucky I didn’t see your damn car because I would’ve fucked it up too.”
“What kind of pussy shit is that? I don’t even like going to the store with you, so you know I’m not going to the store with anyone else.”
He was right. Damn, he had me right there.
“I don’t tell you shit, but I got a gambling house over here. She called me and told me she was walking out of the store as you were walking back to your car.”
“How she get your number?”
Law ran his hand down his face and looked around the parking lot.
“Look, stay the fuck away from the girl. She not fucking with you so don’t fuck with her.”
“How you know that she ain’t fucking with me unless you with her.”
“Summer, you heard what the hell I said. You need to be your ass somewhere either making some money or sitting the fuck down. Which one you about to do?”
I looked at my watch and remembered that I did have an appointment today. Maybe it was a good thing he caught me because I totally forgot. I had a point to prove and now she knew not to bother me anymore. Next time, I was going dead in her face with my fist.
“I got an appointment,” I said lowly.
He grabbed my jaw and kissed me hard but sweet.
“Don’t lose my baby out here with that mess. I’ll see you in a little bit.”
I tried to get in my car but he grabbed me from behind. “I love you.”
“I love you too, Law.”
I really hated him right now for making me feel bad for what I did.
My gut was telling me they were still messing around but Law would never tell me the truth.
He would always say a nigga that love you would never be honest if he knew it was going to hurt his girl. Now I felt like that shit was for me.
I waited until Law pulled out before I pulled out and headed home.
I was going on four months and was getting a little bit of my energy back but I was still too lazy to fully take on a lot of clients.
Most days, I picked and choose who I wanted to be bothered with.
It was usually the girls I went to school with.
Friends was something I didn’t have much of but I was cool with a few chicks that was getting to the money as well.
After I got the table ready in my living room, I started some candles and music before my classmate popped up.
I had my candy next to my seat along with my fan.
I was still getting sick when I sat too long but candy was the only thing to take it away.
My appointment pulled up so I opened the door right as she was about to knock.
She didn’t talk much but today she was spilling all of Savannah’s tea. I was here for it but I knew these girls too well so I never spoke on shit unless it pertained to me.
“You and Law still kicking it?” Now she really had my attention.
“You know the answer to that, why you asked?”
“Girl, I know how you like to fight, so don’t mind me.”
I pinched the hoe eyelid with my tweezers.
“Ouch!”
“My bad. Now what was you saying about Law?”
“Girl, I was trying to figure out what was up with y’all. My brother dates Pinkie’s cousin that do hair and he saw them together in her car.”
“Girl, I doubt that it was Law.”
“I’m sure my brother knows what Law looks like. I thought you and Trey was kicking it again?”
She was really fucking trying me at this point. My head was starting to hurt and I still had another hour left with her. While I had her, I was going to get her for information.
“So Pinkie was seen with my nigga.”
“Pretty much, but then I was like, nah because Summer don’t play and Law don’t disrespect her like that.”
“Girl, Law ass ain’t crazy. He probably was handling business. I’m not worried.”
“I wouldn’t be worried either. I mean Pinkie is one of the dopest bitches in the city and all the young girls look up to her. She can have any man she wants; I know damn well she wouldn’t be a side bitch.”
I didn’t say anything else for the remainder of her appointment. Once she was done, I let her out and locked the door. Pinkie was starting to be a problem for me. If Law was really out here riding in her car and being seen with her, he was feeling her. I picked up the phone and dialed his number.
“What’s up baby?” I could hear the sound of a bunch of niggas around him and relaxed. “What’s up?” He asked again.
“Nothing, I was just calling to tell you that I was going to your house.”
“I’ght. Do you have your key?”
“Yea.”
“Okay. Do you need anything else because I’m kinda in the middle of something?”
“Nah, that’s it.”
“Love you.”
“Love you too.” I hung up.
It was nothing for me to go over there. Law had just given me a key since we got back together.
The only reason I was going over there was to snoop through his shit.
I packed a bag with a few things and headed to Pooler for a few days.
I didn’t plan on asking him about anything because everything would come to the light when the time was right but what I was going to do was watch his ass more closely.
