I walked into the bedroom Malik slept in to see he was still sound asleep. From the many time we'd sleep in the same bedroom he snored like a baby as I watched him toss and turn. When I reached the bed I planted a kiss on his cheek. He woke up quickly calling me Kima. Unsure of what Kima and he had going on. I watched to see if he knew what he said. Malik got up adjusting his manhood before kissing me on the cheek when I stopped him.
"Malik there is no need for you to try and kiss me. You called me Kima plus last time we made love and I awoke she was here so now why is her name being called?"
"Honestly Yas I was in here sleeping far as Kima goes I was dreaming when I said her name no biggy. I know that after you left I laid down told her to chill out than I been in here sleeping off these zans. Look Kima and me as you know had a sexual relationship still right now I didn't touch her. I got caught up in a fucked up dream of her staying. Someway somehow I pulled a gun on her then you came here with Lisa and Trey then we were arguing and back to square one again."
I laughed before he closed his eyes to hear how it sounded. I reflected on Kima and her whereabouts. Suddenly a knock came on the door as Kima appeared. He got up to tell her to leave his presence because I was about to have his baby. I could hear at arm's length how she was cursing him out. Then she slapped him before tossing her purse across her shoulder. As he headed back to sit down I rubbed his cheek. An alarm began to go off outside when Malik took off for the door. When he got to the door Lisa had Kima on the ground dragging her by her hair. When our eyes were on the damaged window of my new truck. I jumped in before telling Lisa to let her go because she is not worth it. Malik tried to help separate them but instead, Kima began to run up in my face. She spit on Malik when he grabbed her by the throat. A shot hit Kima in the head before Malik saw the look on our face when he told us to get in the house. I cried becoming hysterical before I took off for my car figuring out how to cross the man's path. Running full speed like a linebacker in my heels he placed a gun to my head. Malik pulled his gun before he begged the man not to.
"Dad doesn't shoot her she carrying my baby and she won't say a word I swear. Now put your gun down and let her go."
The man stood for a second before he called his driver to clean up the mess as we look around to see no one in sight. Malik told us to go inside and let him speak to his dad. Going inside we shut the door to stare from the window as they spoke. Lisa grabbed my hand to try to sit me down. Pushing her hand away I got up to look out the window again only to see they had disappeared along with the body. Trey walked inside before I rushed to him for a hug.
"Trey you got to get me the hell out of here right now Kima got shot and a man tried to kill me. And Malik..."
The door was closed as Trey told me that Malik will be back but right now I had to relax. Not believing my ears I rushed for the door when Lisa blocked it off.
"So that's how it is, you on their side Lisa?"
Putting her hair into a ponytail with a hair burette on her wrist.
"No I'm not but Malik daddy almost shot you because you got into the mix of his business. Now Trey and I informed him of what Olivia and Kevin had up their sleeve to make sure your building got back on track but what you fail to realize is that the funds are through him. And he's a well-known hustler out here who dibble dabbles in street pharmaceuticals. So now if you expose him we're all exposed."
"But bitch we can go to jail for him killing Kima."
"We are not he controls the police department here."
I cried making my way to the room to shower. In the shower, I reflect on my life and how complicated Kevin and Olivia have made my life. For the same reason, I couldn't see it from Maliks point of view. And holding information wasn't making it any better. When I got out to return to the room Malik was inside in the room with blood on his clothes. Getting undress putting his clothes in a bag. When he felt my presence he made no eye contact before telling me to get dress because tonight his father was going to apologize to me. Unsure of what to say I did as he asked before getting dress to head out while Lisa stayed behind to hang with my sister who was on her way over to Treys. Along the car drive, Malik spoke to me about his father. He explains he never mentioned his father because his father felt like no one was ever worthy of him being with one woman. After watching what Olivia did to him he only taught him how to dog women out. Because love will get you hurt or kill as he quoted his father. When we arrived at his father's we pulled up I stared in amazement out the window at the estate I knew that I came from nothing but I wasn't any fool. I wonder in my head what made Olivia end things at all. One thing for sure before the end of the night I was going to learn a lot about this family.
