Sheisty (16 page)

"You think I give a fuck about your pain? My boy and his family is gone because of that dead nigga right there," C-God pointed his gun at Mali's body, "and his punk ass man. So either you 'gon tell me what I wanna know or yo, you gon' wish we never fucking met me. The choice is yours." C-God said as if he was through negotiating.

"I don't know!" I cried. "Please baby, just listen to me. I swear I don't know. Keisha ain't spoke to me in over a month.

She kicked me out of her wedding, moved and changed her numbers because of you, because I chose loving you over my friendship with her. Then you hurt me... you hurt me bad, choos-ing Tanya over me. And the only reason I had Malikai over here was to see if I could butter him up for her information. That's the truth, I just wanted to find out where Keisha is because I need her. She's the only one I can talk to and I knew she would convince me to keep it. Aaahh," I moaned in an over-exaggerated tone of agony. Clutching my stomach I kneeled down and whispered, "I don't wanna lose our baby."

"Baby... what baby?" C-God inquired.

"Oh God it hurts." I cried before I told him that I was four weeks pregnant with his child. Like most niggas his first response was how you know it's mines?

"I know it's
yours
'cause I ain't been with nobody but you since I started fucking with you. If you don't believe me, just look at my papers from the clinic, there in my purse over on the table. I'm four weeks, do the math C-God." I was hoping I'd get the opportunity to get to the cushion but he didn't go for my purse. He just stood there looking in my face to see if he could tell whether or not I was sincere and I did my best to convince him 'cause I was sincere alright, sincere about making the bastard pay. I was gonna act my ass off if it meant saving my life and that's what I did.

C-God finally broke his silence. "So why you ain't tell me about the baby before now?"

"I just found out about it a week ago. I wanted to tell you but I also wanted us to be together. Then you came over here calling me names and talking about Tanya being better then me so after all that how could I tell you. C-God I'm so sorry to hear about Mike. I really... I am, even though I didn't care much for him I would never wish bad on him because he's your friend and I love you so much," I said, as I started to 'boo who' like crazy and it worked! '

,' I thought as he fell for the okey doke.

"Yo, shit is fucked up right now, I'm fucked up. Mike's gone and I gotta make shit right for my nigga. Word... I got to. I did- n't want to hurt you yo... I really didn't! I just snapped when I seen that nigga up in here. I ain't even gon' front ma, I got mad love for you. Now you telling me you got my baby inside you after I done put my hands on you and shit. How you think that's supposed to make me feel, huh? Damn E, why you ain't tell me?

What if you lose my seed?"

C-God was touching but not enough. I let out another ago-nizing moan and cried out, "Please, I need to go to the hospital, I think I'm losing the baby."

C-God started to pace back and forth. "Okay wait a minute, let me think for a minute."
'I can't take her to the hospital. Them
muthafuckas gon' think I beat her up like that and call the police
and if I call a ambulance they 'gon see this dead nigga's body
lying here and call the police.'
"Fuck! A'ight, this is the plan. I'm a have the nigga Ness drop you off at the hospital," he said like he was doing me a favor or something. Still pacing back and forth he's thinking,
'Damn I gotta do something with this nigga's
body--I'm a dump that shit in Baisley pond or some shit like
that. Then call one of my boys' to come get the nigga truck and
take it to the chop shop.'
"Yeah, a'ight that's the plan." He said having his shit all figured out.

"Aahhhhh," I screamed again to remind him that I was still in pain and needed help.

"A'ight ma, let me see where the fuck this nigga Ness at." Leaving the living room he headed towards the front door. On his way he stopped and check out the papers that were in my purse to see if I was telling the truth about being knocked up, he looked back at me and continue towards the door. I jumped up and limped over towards the couch. I paused for a moment and just stared at Malikai's body lying there lifeless on the couch. I wanted to check his pulse but I didn't have time for that besides I was wearing some of his brains on my clothes so I knew he was gone. I pulled my nine out from under the cushion and stood up straight, just as C-God came back in the room.

"Drop your fucking gun and push it over here you dumb muthafucka. Do it now!" I screamed.

"A'ight you got that, just don't shoot me," he said dropping and kicking his gun towards me.

"Don't shoot you, what? Muthafucka you got the nerve to tell me don't shoot you, you should've thought about all that shit when you was kicking my ass." Tears poured down my stinging face as I thought about how badly he beat me. "You bastard, my daddy ain't never put his hands on me. And since you did I can't wait to kill you, I just want you to know one thing; I fucking hate you. You black muthafucka, I started wishing long before tonight that I never fucked with you. Now you 'gon wish the same. You took this shit too far C-God and you fucked with the wrong one!" I yelled as my anger took control. C-God just stood there in silence.

He knew the seriousness of the situation from my tone. He knew that it was over and I had enough. I glanced at Malikai's dead body one last time and with hate and anger I had floating inside me I didn't think twice before I aimed my gun towards C-God's head, closed my eyes and squeezed off on the trigger. Just as I did I could hear Ness entering the living room, but before I could open my eyes he blasted off a bullet from his .38.

"Oooooh!" Not knowing whether or not my shot was a suc-cessful one, I screamed from the burning sensation I felt as the heat pierced through my chest. I cried out "Noooo..." as I was thrown to the floor from the strong impact. Instantly, I could feel the warmth of my blood leaking from the stinging opening in my chest and my eyes getting real heavy.

The pain was too much to bare.
