Chapter 13
Uzi Reaves
“Look how Riot love Dolo. She taking a nap with her nigga, laid out on a swing, in the middle of the sun. She got a hoodie on too. You ain’t do no wild, in love shit like that with me in a little minute,” my husband said to me, walking into the family room area, where I was chilling with my two daughters, Zuri, and Oakley.
My daughters were like me. It was hard for us to take naps, so we had been in here, chilling together, watching a movie.
Loco had been taking a nap. He tried to pull me in the room with him a couple of hours ago, so that I could take a nap with him, but I didn’t.
Getting suckered into taking a nap with him would have me getting fucked, and sleeping for the rest of the day, and I wasn’t trying to have that.
We had a fun day today. More excursions.
Today was our yacht day. A lot of sightseeing after we finished on the yacht. I’ve been to Turks before with my husband, but it was a few years ago, and when we came, we only came for vacation and relaxation, so we never left the resort.
Today, we got to see another beach. It was Grace Bay Beach.
We wanted to do some historical tours as well, learn a little bit more about the island, so the drivers took us to Cheshire Hall Plantation.
We spent about an hour there, and you know the kids were ready to go after the first fifteen minutes.
From there, we went over to Bugaloo’s Conch Crawl.
It was a local seafood spot on the water.
Me and my family loved conch. The conch there was so fresh.
After all that, everyone had pretty much come back, showered, and took naps. It was just me, and my girls up, but now Loco was up, and I could tell that he was getting ready to start fuckin with me.
“Marcelo, please. Check your phone and watch that video that you took last night. If that’s not wild, and in love, I don’t know what to tell you,” I said, taking my eyes off the TV screen, so that I could look over at him.
Him, and I had a time in our bedroom last night. I went out drinking and dancing with the girls. Came home tipsy, and nothing was off limits for us in the bedroom last night. He recorded the entire thing, so that’s the video that I was referring to.
“Man, those same retired moves you been doing for the past fifteen years,” his ass tried to be funny.
I’m telling you, when it came to Loco, you had to have some thick ass skin, and you had to know how to take a joke.
He talked shit for sport. I think it was just a family thing because these past couple of days, I got to see a lot of Dolo, and Riot in action, and Dolo fucked with that girl the same way that my husband fucked with me.
That’s how they proved that they loved you… by aggravating the fuck out of you!
“I swear your ass better not touch me tonight, since my moves are old, and retired,” I shot, and with a laugh, he came over, and he pulled my arms, lifting me off the couch, so that he could carry me.
“Pleaseeee. Like please don’t start that,” Zuri fussed, looking up from the TV, and cutting her eyes at me, and her father. I think we might have traumatized our children with the love and affection that we liked to show each other.
Loco carried me over to the couch. Where I had just been sitting, he flopped down, and I was on top of him, straddling his lap.
“That’s my cue,” Zuri said, getting up, and Oakley was right there, following behind her.
“Why every time I show love to my wife, ya’ll start acting like it’s the worst thing in the world?
Would ya’ll rather see me knocking her upside her head?
Tell me something,” Loco said, taking his hands off my waist, so that he could reach his hands out for the girls.
He was able to stop them, getting a hold of both their hands, not letting them walk away.
I sat here on Loco, with a smile on my face, looking over at my pretty girls.
I was obsessed with my kids. I know I had to sound like a broken record to them.
I told my daughters any chance I got that they were the prettiest things walking.
My sons had confidence out of this world because I made it a habit to let them know how handsome they were too.
Zuri and Oakley stood there, looking like they could be twin sisters.
Zuri was two years older, but they were about the same height and size.
My daughters were athletes, gymnastics being the sport that took up most of their time, so sitting here, looking at them, the hard work that they were putting in was evident.
In the tights that they were wearing, you could see the firmness in their thighs.
Both skinny girls, but they had muscle. They were at that age where they liked to wear hoodies, so they both had on gray hoodies from the brand Essentials.
They had the same hair texture as I did.
That wavy kind of curl. Because they’ve been in the water a lot today, their hair was super curly, as they had it hanging.
“It’s not that we don’t like that you show love to mommy. Ya’ll just do too much,” Oakley was the one to say.
Oakley was my daughter, but she reminded me so much of my little sister, Nyne.
Super calm, very girly, and she didn’t like to do anything to get her hands dirty.
She hated bugs.. she pretty much hated anything that crawled, so you know yesterday when we went to see the iguanas, that she stayed her ass in the car.
“When you turn 40, and you can have your first boyfriend, this is how he’s supposed to love you,” Loco told her, and all she did was laugh.
She kissed her father on his forehead, did the same to me, and Zuri came over, doing the same, and then the girls left out of the room, leaving me alone with Loco.
Once they were out of the family room with us, he stuck his hands inside the lounge pants that I was wearing, so that he could hold onto my bare ass.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, and placed kisses all over his face.
When I made it to his lips, I pulled his bottom lip into mine, slowly sucking on it, and then we proceeded to making out. The kiss went on for about two minutes.
I pulled my head away from him, and I laid it down on his chest. As I was lying on him, my phone started ringing on the couch.
I looked at my phone, and I saw that it was Lorraine calling me.
Lorraine was my head nurse for Uzi’s Gurlz.
She was a retired ER nurse, and she had over twenty years under her belt.
Back when I was doing interviews for that position, and she came in with her resume, showing me all the work that she’s put in with the medical field, and you could hear the passion that she had for doing this job, I immediately knew that she was someone that I wanted working for me, so I hired her right on the spot.
I was a little shocked to see her calling me though, especially since there weren’t any classes until I got back. She knew that I was on vacation with my family. Wanting to see what was going on, I quickly put the phone to my ear, answering for her.
“Hey Lorraine. Everything okay?” I asked.
“Hey Uzi. You know I wouldn’t have called you unless it was an emergency. I know you’re out in Turks with your family, so I’ll make it quick. Its’ been all over the news since late last night. They found Tamera, and her babies,” she voiced, and her words made me freeze up a little bit.
All I could think about was the last few words that Tamera’s husband said to me before I killed him. He made it seem like no one would ever find them. He made it seem like they were somewhere floating in the ocean.
“Found them? Are they alive?” I asked, hoping that she would tell me they were.
I had a feeling they wouldn’t be though. I remember seeing blood in the house. The blood was on the walls, and on the floor. I remember the look in Tamera’s husband’s eyes. I knew when I was face to face with a killer. He’d killed them for sure. He probably just lied about where he’d placed them.
“No. Her and her babies were killed,” she confirmed what I already knew.
I was just a little optimistic that they had gotten away, and he lied to me, just wanting me to believe that they were dead.
I didn’t say anything. I grew quiet because I thought about the picture frame that I saw that morning at their house. Her babies. Even Tamera. She was still young with so much life to live.
“Where did they find them?” I asked, wanting to know the answer to that question.
“Girl, way out west. People were out there camping, and you know we’ve been getting so much rain these past few days.
With all that rain, causing everything to move around, one of the campers saw what looked like human remains.
That’s when they called 911, and they were able to dig up, get to work, and it was later discovered that it was Tamera and her babies.
That’s all the news outlets have been talking about.
I hate to even put this on you while you’re on vacation, but you know all of us at the class had been wondering about Tamera.
I always wanted answers but not these kinds of answers,” she went on to tell me.
I was quiet listening to her speak to me.
This wasn’t new news for me. It was just closure.
Fucked up closure too. This man really killed his entire fuckin family, and then took them out into the woods, and buried them like their lives didn’t mean shit.
To lie to me and tell me that they were floating in the ocean somewhere was sick.
He never wanted them to be found, and that’s why he threw me off the way he did.
God, I wished that I would have made him suffer a little more before killing him.
“Still no sign of the husband. He’s still missing in action. I feel it in my spirit that he did this,” she went on to tell me, and I knew, but I wasn’t going to confirm it. Then, I would have to share the part that I played, and I didn’t want to do that.
