Chapter 1 Rowdy #2
“Man, don’t leave me with this hoe again, or you gon’ be mad at me.
I almost popped this hoe’s top like a can of Pringles.
She talks too damn much. Her sister already told me she keeps getting her ass beat by the same bitch, so she damn sure don’t want me to call one of my hoes over here to get on her ass,” Trell barked.
“Nigga, chill. Don’t none of yo’ hoes ever need to know about our business. Why didn’t you just beat her ass? You had already knocked the bitch out. Don’t act like you too good to beat a hoe up now,” I stated in all honesty.
“Had I killed her before you came back, you would be all over my ass about it. I know you trying to get this money out of her lame-ass baby daddy first and ask more questions. I tried to be chill, but if you don’t hurry up and clean this bitch up, I’m liable to smoke my damn self.
This hoe is funky as hell, bro! I been nauseous, waiting for you to come back,” Trell spat.
I had forgotten to clean her up before rushing over to my crib.
Trell wasn’t lying. She was funky as hell, and it had the whole place smelling like death.
If she really thought she had a chance in hell with me, she was crazy and out of her mind.
How could you not be able to hold yourself for a day?
A muthafukin’ day. She was too grown for that shit, and now I could never look at her the same.
“Man, help me get her to the shower,” I told Trell.
We stood her up and carried her to the shower.
When we got Diamond into the bathroom, I grabbed some scissors from the medicine cabinet and cut her shirt down the middle.
Trell held her up for me. Then I took the scissors and cut her pants off.
When I got the pants completely off her, it was shit smeared all over her legs and ass.
Shit mixed with piss was a deadly ass smell.
There was no way I was gonna wash her ass.
While Trell cursed her out for being a nasty bitch, I decided to make her clean herself.
“You about to wash your own ass, and if you think about trying anything funny, the last thing you gon’ remember is something hot in yo’ head,” I sternly spoke as I cut the rope off her.
I snatched the tape off her mouth, and then I gave her the towel and soap to clean herself.
Trell went into the room to grab her clothes while I stood in the doorway, making sure she didn’t make any sudden moves.
I wanted to feel bad for what I was doing, but I just couldn’t.
From the jump, I had been set up, and I was about to make Diamond tell me everything, or she would be a memory.
When Diamond was done taking her shower, I handed her a trash bag and a pair of gloves to pick her shitty clothes up and throw them away. She looked at me with pure hate in her eyes, and I returned the stare. I dared her to try me.
Once we were back in the room, we taped Diamond up again and sat her in a clean chair.
I pulled a chair directly in front of hers, sat down, and looked her in the eyes.
Shit wasn’t adding up, and I needed answers.
Whatever trust she had for me before was gone, but hell, she wasn’t to be trusted either.
“You may as well tell me everything. Your life depends on it. Did you plan to set me up with Jakari, or what? How did you end up knowing who I was and that I was dating Harmoni?” I asked.
“You gon’ kill me anyway, so what the fuck does it matter?” she spat.
“If you cooperate, and that nigga comes through on his end of the bargain, I can promise not to kill you. Just don’t make this shit harder than it has to be.”
“Jakari and Harmoni were together when I got pregnant. I always hated that bitch because I felt like she was the reason Jakari didn’t let the world know about my son.
I tried to make things work with that nigga, but all he wanted was her.
When I popped up at her crib and told her about my son, she sucker punched me and snuck me when I wasn’t paying attention, so I had it on my mind to get back at her.
I had my sister set her up, and we jumped her and robbed her.
After that, I never saw her post Jakari again.
“Once she started posting you, I vowed to take you from her since she took my family from me. I didn’t know anything about you, but you walked into that bar around the same time I was trying to find information on you.
I just wanted to take you from her because she doesn’t deserve to be happy.
I didn’t know anything about you and my son’s dad having any beef.
I did all this simply because I hate yo’ lame ass bitch,” she blurted.
She said that shit so smoothly like it wasn’t fucked up.
“Man, you one sick, delusional ass bitch. You had a baby by that girl’s nigga. Then, when they broke up, you went after her new nigga. You know you obsessed, right?” Trell asked.
“Fuck you, Trell. You don’t know my life or what I’ve dealt with in this shit. Those two muthafuckas took everything from me, and regardless of what you want to believe, they are not ever gonna leave each other alone.”
I listened to what Diamond said and realized that she really was crazy. I now understood why that nigga wanted custody of his son. This chick was not mentally stable at all. She really wanted Harmoni’s life. If I let her live, it was no guarantee that she wouldn’t try to harm the woman I loved.
“You don’t think you need help, ma? I never heard someone admit to being obsessed with another female like it was normal.
That shit ain’t cool. I ain’t never seen a nigga that I wanted to be like.
You gotta be yourself. You took this shit to the extreme.
Twice! If I let you live, how do I know you won’t try to kill my girl?
You clearly on some obsessed type shit, and it’s not gon’ end well if I let you make it out of this,” I firmly stated.
“Didn’t you just promise not to kill me?
Ain’t nobody teach you that all a man got is his word, or did you have a dyke for a mammy who had to play the daddy role?
You were clearly raised by a hoe, and just like Jakari’s dumb ass, this basic ass bitch got yo’ head gone.
I’m tired of hearing niggas be so worried about what’s going to happen to her.
She’s fucking with yo’ opp! That’s not yo’ hoe for real! ” Diamond spat.
Before I knew what was happening, I had punched her in her face so hard that I felt my knuckle crack.
When I did that, blood splashed from her mouth onto my shirt, and two of her veneers flew out.
Trell was laughing so hard that he started coughing.
This was a sick ass nigga. That’s exactly why I kept him around.
“Man, smoke this hoe and stop playing. She speaking on mommas and being disrespectful while she on her deathbed. She’s crazy, dawg. I can’t take this shit. Just go on and pop her ass. She’s clearly ready to die,” Trell hissed.
“Say, Diamond. You real disrespectful to be in the position that you’re in.
I wanna see you live up to your full potential.
I don’t want your son to be motherless, but if you don’t use your brain from this second on, I promise your bitch ass is gonna lose it!
” I said as I invaded her personal space.
“I just got my teeth done! Why the fuck would you do something like that? That shit is not cool, Black. It ain’t shit that I said to make you want to hit a woman.
Use that energy on these niggas in the streets.
I’m a female. You don’t get no cool points or street cred for that.
Letting niggas hoe you and fuck yo bitch, but you wanna take your frustration out on me. Nigga, please!”
Before she could finish speaking, Trell removed himself and went outside so he wouldn’t fuck up our plans.
He really wanted to kill Diamond, so I commended him for walking away.
I couldn’t blame him because this girl was not letting up.
She kept asking to see her son, but I told her that she had messed that up for herself.
Maybe now she would shut up and act like she had some sense.
I was ready to figure out what would be done with Diamond because, after tomorrow, I was going to get rid of her one way or another.
Diamond was a very beautiful girl, but as soon as she opened her mouth and spoke, she became ugly as fuck.
She had a hood, ratchet demeanor, and no matter how hard she tried to pretend to be boujee, she couldn’t hide the real her.
That night, I called Jakari and asked him how the money was looking.
He assured me that he would have it all tomorrow.
I reminded him that if he made any wrong moves at all, he would lose his son.
We agreed that in exchange for the money, he could have his baby momma and his son back.
I told him that I had more stipulations, but we would square that away face to face.
I knew not to do too much talking over the phone, so I ended the call after telling him I would reach out in the morning.
Trell wanted to murk Diamond so bad, and I kept having to convince him to calm down over the weekend.
The first night we met Diamond at the bar, Trell said she gave him a bad vibe, and he knew something about her was off.
Every day since that, I have been finding his instincts to be more and more correct.
We both knew that in order to get what we wanted, we had to play the game.
I used Diamond, and Trell used her sister Taylor.
Neither one of them was too smart, and that made our plan even easier to execute.
