Unbreakable (19 page)

“Did you know that fuck nigga wanted my son
to call him daddy?”

Bino had seen enough and rushed over to
Ronny. “Aye Ronny man chill out before someone call the police on
you,” he said seeing Shaniqua had turned red but Ronny wasn’t
budging.

Shaniqua looked as if she was about to pass
out.

“Ronny man, come on before you kill that
girl,” Bino said and Ronny finally let her go and turned to walk
away. Shaniqua fell over coughing and gasping for air while holding
her neck. A little crowd gathered around them.

“Ronny it wasn’t that serious to tell you.
Ray’Shun had cursed and he was just disciplining him.”

Ronny turned around and glare at her. “What
the fuck did you just say?” he asked but not giving her a chance to
answer. “Did you just say this nigga was disciplining
MY FUCKING
SON?”
he asked backhanding her. She fell to the ground and he
quickly picked her up.

“Where in the fuck is that nigga at?” he
asked mugging the shit out of her. Bino quickly grabbed Ronny
before he got himself into any trouble.

“I don’t know Ronny, I haven’t talked to
him,” she answered honestly.

“Man come on Ronny,” Bino said pulling him
away.

Ronny snatched away. “Fuck off me,” he said
walking through the crowd. Bino understood where his homeboy was
coming from but he didn’t want him to get into any trouble over no
bullshit.

******

Shaniqua couldn’t believe Ronny had come up
to her job and beat her ass in front of everyone embarrassing the
shit out of her. She stood in her bathroom with swollen eyes
looking in the mirror at the red marks Ronny left on her neck and
the bruise on the right side of her face from him slapping her.
Shaniqua didn’t think it was that serious to tell Ronny about Dre
hitting Ray’Shun.

Ray’Shun was playing the game one day and had
slipped up and curse and Dre popped him. When Ray’Shun went to her
crying she stormed down the stairs and went in Dre shit. Neither
she nor Ronny has ever put their hands on him so she made it clear
that she didn’t want him putting his hand on her son before
slapping the shit out of him. She let him know that next time he
put his hands on her son it won’t be so pretty.

She tried to call Ronny to let him know why
she didn’t tell him but he wouldn’t answer.

The next day when she woke up, she called her
sister to go pick up the kids and bring them to her. There was no
way in hell she was gonna let her parents she the damage Ronny had
did to face and neck.

“Girl what in the hell happen to your face?”
Star asked when Shaniqua opened the door to let her in. The bruises
were very noticeable.

“Ronny’s crazy ass.” She walked slowly into
the living room. Her whole body was sore.

“Girl what the fuck is wrong with him? Why
would he do something like this?” Star asked angrily as she sat on
the couch next to her big sister.

“Where is Ray’Shun?” Shaniqua asked noticing
he wasn’t with her.

“Mom said Ronny came and picked him up from
church.”

Shaniqua rolled her eyes and took her baby
from her Star.

“So you not gonna tell me why Ronny beat your
ass?”

“Girl Ray’Shun messed around and told him
that Dre whipped him.”

Star mouth fell open. “He did what?” she
yelled.

“Girl close your damn mouth. He didn’t just
beat his ass or no shit like that. He popped him because he cursed.
But you best believe I got in his shit!”

“Damn Shan and Ronny crazy ass got in your
shit,” Star said laughing and shaking her head. “So what he said
when he found out?”

“He didn’t really say shit. He just came to
the club and snatched my ass up,” she said before running the whole
scene down to Star. When she was done, Star sat there shaking her
head.

“Why you didn’t just tell him though Shan? I
mean that nigga had no right putting his hands on someone else’s
child.”

“At the time I was looking out for Ronny. I
mean come Star, everybody knows how Ronny’s temper is. He would
have jumped on the first flight to Maryland and torn the whole damn
city up. And I was trying to avoid all that.”

“Yeah I feel you on that.”

“But he did say something about Dre telling
Ray’Shun to call him daddy.”

“WHAT?” Star shouted.

“That’s exactly what I said. Girl I’m gonna
call Ronny later to bring Ray’Shun because we have to sit down and
talk about this. Ray’Shun didn’t tell me none of that shit was
going on. You know I love my baby Star. I would never let any hurt
him,” she said with teary eyes.

“I know boo. Go ahead, call, and talk to
Ronny. I’ll call you later,” Star said hugging her sister before
leaving.

Shaniqua called Ronny and had a feeling he
wasn’t going to answer. However, not only did he not answer but
also he put her number on call block. She threw her phone down on
the couch and got up to make her whining daughter a bottle.

******

Ronny had just dropped Ray’Shun off with his
mother when he received a call from Vic telling him to get to one
of the Trap houses. Since Ray’Shun was born Ronny didn’t go to the
Trap House that much. He would only go maybe two or three times a
month. Vic or Eric would go pick up the money and Ronny go pick it
up from them, so he knew it had to be an emergency for Vic to call
him and tell him to get there
ASAP
.

When Ronny pulled up Bino and Vic was
standing outside. He hoped out and dapped them up. “What’s up,” he
said as they began walking inside the house. He looked around and
didn’t see anything out of place. They walked through the living
room to the kitchen where the rest of the niggas was.

“What’s up,” he said to the men as they all
sat at the long table. Ronny walked around and sat at the head of
the table with Vic sitting at the other end. It was only right Vic
sit at the other end being that he was his right hand man.

Vic stood up. “I received a call from Eric
telling me that y’all niggas been slipping and he came over here
and he saw some shit he wasn’t pleased with,” Vic said looking
around the table.

Ronny chuckled and looked at Bino. He was
already pissed about the situation with Shaniqua then the news Bino
delivered to him earlier didn’t help at all. He just wished Vic
would get to the point so he could deal with the situation and go
home.

“Bino, you have been missing lately. What’s
up with that?” Vic said.

Ronny ran his hand over his face. He was
starting to get tired of Vic’s ass acting as if he was a boss.

“Fuck you trying to say Vic man?” Bino asked
ready to go off in Vic shit. Though they hang out from time to
time, Bino has never liked Vic.

“Why you so defensive Bino? Are you hiding
something?” Vic asked with a smirk.

“No, with you being the sneaky one. Are you?”
Bino asked.

“Fuck you mean sneaky lil nigga? Don’t get
fucked up.”

“Yo Vic sit yo ass down, you don’t run shit!”
Ronny said angrily still sitting down and Vic did as he was
told.

“What kind of shit has been going on?” Ronny
asked looking at Vic as the other guys turn to look at him as
well.

When Vic didn’t respond Ronny asked, “Well
since you don’t know, where the fuck is E at so I can ask him?”

“Man I haven’t talked to him today,” Vic
finally said so low that Ronny could barely hear him.

Ronny didn’t know what type of shit Vic was
on but he was ready to go off in his shit right then and there. “Yo
Vic I’m ready to beat yo ass right now nigga. You call me over here
for this shit. What exactly is the reason for this meeting?” Vic
didn’t say anything and that made Ronny madder.

“Come on, get your ass up, and talk nigga.
You had so much to talk about just then so get the fuck up and let
us know the reason for this fucking meeting… Get yo ass up nigga,”
he said leaning back in his chair waiting on Vic to talk as the
other niggas looked from Ronny and Vic in shock. Everyone knew Vic
was Ronny right hand man and they have never heard Ronny talk to
him like that.

Vic knew Ronny wasn’t the one to be fucked
with so he stood but didn’t say anything as all eyes were on him.
About five minutes later of him standing there like a scared child
with all eyes on him Ronny stood.
“
Exactly,” he said and
began walking out the kitchen.

He heard everyone laughed and shook his head
at his homeboy. Vic couldn’t believe Ronny had punked him out like
that in front of everyone. He was furious and everyone laughing
wasn’t making it any better.

Ronny jumped in his car and headed to pick up
his son only to find out Shaniqua had already picked him up. He
picked up his phone to call her but thought against it and headed
home
.

Ronny haven’t seen his son
since he dropped him off at his mother’s house and that was almost
a month ago. He was still pissed at Shaniqua but he missed his son
and Shaniyah so he made a mental note to go visit them in the
morning. He reached over at on the nightstand, grabbed his ringing
phone, and answered it without looking at it.

“Hello?” he answered sleepily.

“Why the fuck you can’t never answer your
phone or reply to my texts?”

“Denise, don’t call my phone with that
bullshit. A nigga sleep and don’t feel like hearing that shit,”
Ronny said calmly as he sat up in bed and began rolling a
blunt.

Denise smacked her lips. “Well what we gonna
do about this baby I’m pregnant with?”

“I don’t know what you gonna do with it I
already told you it’s not mines. Hell you know it’s not mines
either I don’t know why you playing games.”

“Ronny you know you was the only one I was
fucking with so don’t try to play me.”

“But I also used a condom with yo ass too,”
he said

“Well I guess it broke. I heard your baby
mama was back in town so I guess that’s why you acting all funny
and shit. But let’s see how she feels about you having a baby by
the bitch she caught you with,” she laughed in the phone.

“Bitch I wish you would tell my wife some
shit like that. I’ll fuck you the fuck up. Now try me if you want
to hoe,” he yelled into the phone angrily before hanging up in her
face. Ronny might be mad at Shaniqua but she was still
Wifey
and he would kill Denise if he had to before she could even get
next to Shaniqua.

Ronny already had enough on his hands without
Denise adding to his bullshit. Vic was on some slick shit that
Ronny had yet to figure out but he knew something wasn’t right with
his supposedly be right hand man. Then even with all that going on
Bino told him whenever he go to his baby mama house that just so
happened to live in the same neighborhood as Shaniqua he spotted a
car parked across the street from her house on more than one
occasions. And that didn’t sit well with him. He finished his blunt
then got out of bed to get dress. It was only 8:00 pm and he had
something that needed to be handled.

******

Shaniqua had been feeling strange lately as
if something was going to happen. She don’t know what or with her
but she just had a feeling in her gut that something was about to
go down. She dropped her kids off at her parents’ house so they
could go to church with them in the morning and so she could have
some alone time. She loved her babies more than life itself but she
needed a break.

She had just got out the shower and after
drying off; she slipped on her bathrobe and headed downstairs.
Feeling alone she decided to make it an ice cream and LMN night.
Just when she got comfortable on the couch with her blanket he
doorbell rang.

“Dammit,” she said out loud sitting her ice
cream on the table. She walked over to the door and picked out. She
jumped back then began trembling. She put her trembling hand on the
nob and slowly opened the door.

“I just wanna talk.”

“We have nothing to talk about. You said all
you had to say when you walked out on me, well on us.”

“Can I just come in Honey?”

“No Dre. And that isn’t my fucking name so
stop calling me that.”

Dre took a step towards her. “You don’t mean
that Honey,” he said calmly.

“Get the fuck away from my door!” Shaniqua
screamed at him before everything went black.

******

Shaniqua woke up in a dark cold place she
suspected to be a warehouse. She tried to open her eyes before
realizing she had on blindfolds she then felt pain as if someone
was forcing themselves in and out of her roughly and heard someone
grunting in her ear. After it hit her that she was being raped she
began to panic and scream.

“UUUGGGHHHH!” She began kicking. “GET THE
FUCK OFF ME…. Please, stop… Pleeeeease, Stopppppp,” she cried
out.

Her cries were unheard and he rapist pumped
hard and whispered in her ear, “I always wanted to know what this
shit was hitting like.”

“Please, stop,” she continued to cry and
beg.

She heard laughter then she heard Dre. “It’ll
be over soon baby, I promise.”

If this isn’t Dre then who is the man was
raping me, she asked herself.

The rapist increased his speed then there was
a loud moan and seconds later, he was getting off her as she just
laid there. Shaniqua heard the two men laughing and talking and a
couple minutes later, she heard a door open and closed.

“Come on and sit up baby,” Dre said pulling
her up and walking her to a chair and sat her down forcefully. He
then removed the blindfolds and Shaniqua sat there with her eyes
closed not wanting to look at the man she once had feelings
for.

“Come on now and open your eyes,” he said and
she slowly opened them to find him standing in front of her with
two guns in his hands and a smile on his face. “There you go,” he
said still smiling.

“Why are you doing this Dre?” she asked just
above a whisper.
