Chapter||34

Ain't got no time to press you 'bout them hoes that you been screwin' up

'Cause I know where I stand

Know I got the key to your heart in my nightstand

You gon' find out that testin' out the water ain't excitin'

As you thought it was, nigga you'll be comin' right back, right back

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

Cryin' ain't gon' fix it so I'm still here

Same day

After that last statement, Kamiya held her head up high and pushed her cart walking straight pass Sabrina ending the conversation immediately without turning back.

"Ka-" Sabrina began to walk after her but Luca stepped in her path blocking her from going any further. She put her hands up in the air ending her walk while sighing as she stared at Kamiya until she was out of her eyesight.

Kamiya didn't let seeing her mother gaze her, she simply put in the back of the head as she always did with the problems that she faced in life. Kamiya wasn't the type to face her problems and seek guidance she wanted to forget about it as fast as she could before it could cloud her judgement anymore.

"Mama dada like these ones," Aaliyah pointed to the Haagen Dazs salted caramel ice cream which she and her father loved to eat together.

"No dada can get it himself baby," Kamiya responded as she picked up two tubs of her favourite ice cream, Ben and Jerry's fudge brownie ice cream. She knew it wasn't good for her body but she just couldn't seem to stop eating it, ever since her pregnancy with Aaliyah she had been faithfully eating those.

"Noo, dada want it today," She spoke with a frown on her face and arms crossed across her chest as she looked between her mother and the ice cream.

"Your ugly ass dada can get the ice cream himself Aaliyah and don't ask me again," She rolled the cart right past the ice cream section once she got what she needed and headed to where the fries where. The cries of Aaliyah could be heard to the people surrounding them as she looked back pointing to where the ice cream aisle was.

"Noooooo," Aaliyah continued to scream causing by-passers to stare at the distressed child.

Smack her

Don't smack her, she's a child idiot

So what, Kamiya remember when your mother smacked you all those times when you didn't listen, it's only right you do the same.

The consistent bickering going on inside Kamiya's head didn't help the situation at hand, she chose to ignore them and carry on pushing the cart further away from the ice cream.

"Oh my bad I'm sorry," she spoke as she bent down to pick up the bag of chips off the floor that Aaliyah had managed to get from the cart and throw it at the lady.

"You better be," The lady spat at Kamiya as she eyes Aaliyah with a spiteful glare, she couldn't understand why the child did not have manners and was acting as a wild goose in public.

Black kids these days

"She's only a ch-," Kamiya began to say as she lifted her head to look at the lady that had such a hateful tone in her voice but was abruptly stopped when she noticed who it was. She tried not to show the shocked expression on her face as she cleared her throat and stood up straight putting the bag of chips back in the cart away from Aaliyah's reach.

"Look what the cat dragged in," The lady spoke with her arms crossed against the plastic boobs she had, Kamiya knew any sudden movement those silicon boobs would pop out.

"I don't have time for you today, I'm sorry my daughter threw the chips at you, have a nice day," Kamiya politely apologised again to the lady about to push the cart to the next aisle but once again the lady had put her hand out to stop the cart from moving.

"How's your supposed man doing," The lady tried to be slick with it as she held a sly smirk on her face.

"I'm not about to answer that, can you get your hand off my cart please," Kamiya gave a fake smile back at her before checking to see if Aaliyah was doing okay in the cart.

"I guess that's a no, I mean I'm not surprised that's why he's always at my house now," The lady thought she had done something with that statement but Kamiya knew that was a lie since Kairo had been at the rehab for the past for months. She knew the lady just wanted a reaction out of her but unfortunately for her she wasn't going to get one anytime soon.

"Well that's good to hear, but as I said before can you please get your hand off my cart,"

"Just one more quick question, how does my pussy taste," The lady asked with a grin plastered on her face as she waited for Kamiya's face to drop but once again that never came.

Kamiya stared at her with a bored and blank expression on her face not letting the lady's words get to her. She had been dealing with Kairo's infidelities for years and one little comment like that was not going to get a reaction out of her today or any other day. That was Kamiya liked about her self, she was good at hiding her emotions and was able to keep her facial expressions the same even when she was in distress, that was the only thing she could thank her mother for. She wasn't good for anything else but teaching Kamiya to not let anyone see how you feel, she didn't want the other one to have an advantage over her once they saw her distressed face so she never let it change once new found information was brought to her.

"What gave you the impression that I know how you're pussy taste," She cocked her head to the side staring at the lady with narrowed eyes as she awaited her answer.

"Girl do not front, your man or should I say our man is very good with his tongue, we both should know that,"

"Have a good day Emily," Kamiya gave her a smile as she forcefully pushed the cart bumping Emily's hand away and went about her day to the next aisle.

Flashback

"If you do this one thing we will be rich forever baby," Terrance egged on his girlfriend Emily as they sat on the black leather couch in the spacious living room counting money in the money machine.

"We just did a dropped baby and you want me to do another again,"

"Okay and, if I say do another job for me you're going to do it," he looked at her sideways as if she even had a choice to say know and he knew that she knew that so he was confused as to why she would even ask that question.

"I'm tired," she sighed as she laid her head on the couch.

"Bitch I'm fucking tired as well but I'm not complaining," he was starting to get annoyed with her.

"Okay bu-" she was interrupted by Terrance backhanding her in her face and he went back to counting his money as nothing happened.

"Tired of your damn fucking mouth," he mumbled ruffing up the money and stuffing it in the black plastic bag.

Emily held her face as she silently cried not wanting Terrance to hear her because she knew she would've gotten a worse beaten than she just received.

"I need you to seduce him and make him fall in love with you," he ordered to her not caring if she wanted to do it or not.

"How would that make us rich," She was baffled on why she had to make someone fall in love with her for them to become rich.

"When's he's in love with you he will give you his account details you will have access to his cards"

"I'm putting you up in a condo so he doesn't know where you actually live, everything you need to know is in your phone," he continued talking.

Emily didn't say anything after that and just sat in silence watching Terrance. After counting $20,00 in the machine he grabbed the black plastic bag going to where the floorboard lifted in their kitchen. He put the money on the floor before glueing the floor back making it unnoticeable.

"Baby," he called to Emily from the kitchen.

"Yeah baby," she replied walking into the kitchen.

"Cook me some dinner please," he demanded as she simply replied with a head nod.

"I want some rice and peas with oxtail and coleslaw, all cooked before the game finishes," he didn't wait for a response

Doing what she was told Emily made his food putting it on a tray with some orange to go with it. She headed towards the living room with the tray in hand placing it on the glass coffee table that sat in between the tv and couch.

"Thanks, baby," he spoke kissing her lips but she flinched thinking he was gone hit her.

"I ain't gone hit you, baby," he smiled at her before getting the tray beginning to eat the food. Emily went back into the kitchen fixing herself a plate deciding to eat on the kitchen she took a seat on a stool. She did more of thinking than eating as she sat at the island. She thought about how her life turned for the worse when she moved in with Terrance, he became a whole different person. She went in for the worse awakening that week.

"Baby I'm finished," he shouted at her meaning she should come and pick up his tray now. She obeyed him picking up his tray taking it to the kitchen and washing it.

Once finished with the dishes she made her way upstairs going to get ready for her shower as she was ready to call it a day even though it was only 7 o'clock. She was tired of catering for Terrance's needs and the only way she felt she could escape this was by sleeping, all her problems seemed to disappear once her head hit the pillow and her eyes closed. She slept most of the day because of this but when Terrance is in one of his bad moods he brutally wakes her up and just beats her because of it.

She took a 45-minute showering just thinking about her family, how she misses them but knowing that they don't miss her or even tend to acknowledge her absence.

Her mum was a housewife who followed behind her husband in every decision he made. No matter if it was a bad idea her mother would always be on his side even if it's against her own children, her father had brainwashed her mother so much she hadn't developed a mind of her own.

She thought about her siblings who she hadn't seen or spoken to in over 3 years. She had changed her number once she moved in with Terrance and everyone had blocked her on their social media, not like Terrance even let her use social media a lot anyway.

"I'm so sorry," she sobbed as she grabbed onto her chest. She continuously apologised as if her family could her hear as she slid down the bathroom wall. Finally finding the strength to get up she got out the shower wrapping the towel around her. Going into her room she went to her dresser getting her underwear ready before getting into bed.

After nearly an hour and still not being able to sleep she turned on the tv and scrolled through the channels before stopping at BET deciding to leave it there.

"What the fuck you doing," Terrance's voice boomed through the house as he stormed in the room interrupting Emily's show.

"Watching tv," she said in a duh tone as she pointed to the tv.

"Did you not hear what the fuck I said downstairs," he spoke with his nose flared as he stared at her.

"No, what you said,"

"I want you to go to the package," he ordered her going into the closet grabbing clothes for her.

"You want me to start it today," she spoke in a shocked toned as she dragged her get off the bed.

"Yes, he's gonna be at club Luxxe tonight and you're going to be there," he demanded as he threw her a sparkling dress with the straps that went around the neck.

"So I have to go," she was still sceptical about going to the club

"Yes damn, now go get dressed," he shoved her away going back downstairs where some of his friends had made themselves comfortable on the sofa.

She put on the dress he had given her and paired it with some heels. She made her way downstairs where everyone was watching tv and she stood in front of Terrance.

"Damn," one his friend mumbled as they stared at Emily.

"How do I look," she smiled down at him as he sat.

"Beautiful baby," he replied wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Thank you," she gave him a peck on the lips.

"Are we going now," she asked grabbing her clutch.

"Yep, I'm finna drop you off and phone me if you need me to pick you up," he spoke standing to his feet as he grabbed her hand waking towards the door.

They got into Terrance's matte black BMW heading to the club.

"So who exactly am I going to," She asked as he drove.

"His name is Kairo White,"
