How It All Began 22

Although Precious had no idea where she was she managed to find a 24hour $. 99 cent store and pulled up in front of it and waited for Nikki to show up and cried uncontrollably. Scared to death and barely making it to the store she sat in the car and cried herself to sleep when she was awakened by a wino knocking on the window. Startled she tried to shoo him away but he was persistent in asking her for change. She rolled cut the car on and rolled down the window and threw a wad of cash at him thinking that would make him go away. Just then Nikki pulled up next to her. Precious grabbed her book bag and jumped out of the car and hugged her sister. Just then she began crying again! “Nikki he’s dead they killed him and they want to kill you too we have to get out of here!” “Who Precious, who wants to kill me?” Nikki tried to understand, she couldn’t think of anyone in the world who would want to hurt her let alone kill her. Just then her cell phone rang, it was Lee. She answered because she hadn’t spoken to him since she left him in the hotel room earlier this morning. She definitely had to cancel her plan, she tried to fill him in on the situation as much as she could without making her sister feel uncomfortable. In the midst of her conversation T went to go close the door to the car Precious had been driving when he noticed the bags in the back. Without second thought he grabbed the bags from the backseat and threw them in the back of Nikkis car. Lee assured Nikki that everything was going to be okay and he insisted that she call the police and come stay at his place, but she said told him she felt more comfortable at her place and insisted that if he wanted to be there for her just come over to her place. Heading home Nikki called her parents and told them that she had picked Precious up from school early and she would be spending the night with her.

 

On the drive home Nikki and T went over all the things they could have possibly gotten into and figured it had to be something they had done on one of their drunken nights. Nikki thought out loud and said “Nah baby it has to be something deeper than that” T looked out the window trying to take the whole situation in and said “Well what about your boy Lee? What’s his take on this whole thing I mean this shit just aint adding up to me? Somebody paid Chris young ass to kill you and he ends up dead; I just don’t get it!” “Come on T Lee has nothing to do with this for God sakes he loves me more than any man in this world flaws and all! As a matter of fact he’s meeting us at my house tonight.” “Well then I guess you don’t need me there then huh?” Nikki looked over at T with her face twisted up and to the left with about three teeth showing like she smelled something stank and said “Ill I don’t know what the fuck your problem is but somebody is trying to kill me T and all you can do is be jealous and think about yourself then fuck it I’ll drop your ass off at home fine by me.” “Well I have to go to your house anyway to pick up my car so it’s all good!” the rest of the ride home was a quiet one.

 

“Hey baby what’s up? I want to see you tonight” “Rick didn’t I tell you to stop calling me it’s over! I’m not fucking with that gay shit anymore!” “Just stop it Lee you know you don’t mean that shit you can’t feel the way I make you feel with a woman and you know that shit!” If someone were to be listening in on their conversation they would have thought it was a prank call because the men’s voices were so deep and masculine it would seem impossible for them to be gay. They were far from your stereotypical feminine sounding gay males. “Yo Rick word up stop calling me I have to go anyway I’m on my way to my wife’s house she’s in trouble and I plan on being there for her everyday of her life starting tonight, so that means you are out of the picture you fucking get it!” With that Lee hung up the phone on Rick and drove as fast as he could down the West Side to get to Nikki.

 

Lee just sat in his living room and sipped some more on his Hennessy VSOP and laughed aloud to himself. ‘That motherfucker think it’s going to be him and that bitch well we’ll see about that before this night is over she’ll be out the picture and I’ll have my man to myself.” With that Rick got up and walked over to his door and grabbed the keys off the table. “It’s time I put this shit to an end. I see all my attempts have failed and I’m going to have to kill this bitch my damn self!”

 

“Goodnight T, see you in the morning!” Precious said through her tears as she got out the car and walked into the house. On the way home they had stopped at a pay phone and made an anonymous call to the police telling them of the double homicide and Precious vowed to go to the police and tell them everything regarding the situation first thing in the morning. Today had been a long day for her and she just wanted it to come to an end. “Okay Babygirl you rest tight. And hey keep your head up everything is going to be fine” Hearing those words made her cry even harder as she ran into the house. Looking down at his shoes and rubbing his hand over his head T looked to Nikki and said “You sleep tight to okay, call me if you need me!” Nikki slammed the door to her truck and walked over to the door that precious had left wide open to her apartment and went to walk in. T with a look of disappointment on his face turned to walk away. “Hey baby,’ Nikki yelled to him. He spun around without words. “T thanks for everything, get home safe.” T smiled and just shook his head and walked over to his truck. Sitting in his truck T just began to think of all the good times that he and nikki had together and he thought back to the conversation they had that one drunken night where they told each other how much they loved each other and vowed that they would marry each other by 35 if neither of them were married, and then they kissed and almost had sex but T being the gentleman that he is he just brushed it off and carried Nikki up to her bed. He’ll never forget how beautiful she looked with the drool hanging from her mouth. He laughed to himself as he pulled off and Lee pulled up in his spot right as he pulled out.

 

“Lee I don’t know this is all crazy to me I don’t understand why anybody would want to hurt me.” “Me either baby but as long as I’m here everything is going to be fine did you order extra hot peppers like I asked?” “Damn somebody is trying to kill me and all you can think of is if I got the pizza order right boy you are a damn trip.This is all too crazy for me to grasp. Damn I feel so much pain for Precious, she’s never going to get over this. Chris was her first boyfriend and I know she really loved him” ‘Baby look I already told you everything is going to be fine. Don’t worry about it. Precious is going to be fine first thing tomorrow we are going to the police station she just needs some rest she’s had a long day and she’s going to have an even longer one with all the interrogation they are going to put her through.But I have to pee so while I’m in there can you get the wine out the fridge and some plates while the commercial is on. I know you don’t want to miss a minute of your favorite show “The Bad Girls Club”” “Yeah that’s a good idea. I’ll do that but hurry up back” While in the bathroom Lee checked his phone no calls from Rick so he assumed that he got the point and wouldn’t be calling him anymore. He looked around and saw Nikki all over the bathroom everything about it screamed taste and class, this is it he thought to himself. I am done with that faggot shit no more from here on out it’s me and my baby!
