Reaching For The Trigger

Chapter Nine

After about thirty minutes, the limo came to a stop. The driver came around and opened the door for us. We got out and I looked around and saw that we were surrounded by trees."Where are we?", I asked.

"Just follow me", Quincy said then he grabbed my hand.

I followed him through a path candles. I could see lights in the distance but I couldn't really make out what it was. After we got through the path a huge yacht was waiting for us. "Wow", I said, excitedly.

The yacht was big and white, it had Quincy's name in gold on the side.

"Nice right?", he asked.

"Yes", I said.

We boarded the yacht and went to the top deck. I looked around and saw rose pedals and candles everywhere. In the middle of the deck was a table for two. Quincy walked up to the table and pulled out a chair,"For you", he said.

I sat in the chair and he pushed me closer to the table then he sat in the seat across from me. A man and a woman walked in, wearing white chef outfits. The man put salad on the table and the woman poured wine."You do know that we are to young for alcohol right?", I asked the lady.

"He pay me", the man said in a Hispanic accent, pointing at Quincy.

"Are you trying to get me drunk?", I asked Quincy.

"Nope in trying to make you relax", he said.

"I am relaxed", I said.

"No your not", he said while pouring ranch on his salad,"You have been thinking about the shooting all day."

"No I haven't", I lied. It was all I could think about. Every time I looked at Quincy, I saw him pointing the gun at Courtney.

"Yes you have I can tell", he said.

"Can we change the subject?", I asked.

"Sure", he said,"What do you want to talk about?"

"Do you have kids?" , I asked.

Quincy spit out his salad,"Damn I do actually", he said.

My eyes got big. "You do?"

"I have 4 year old son", he said.

"Four?", I asked, in complete shock.

"Yeah I know I was a wild boy. I lost my virginity when I was ten.", he said.

I threw my hands up for him to stop. I was really starting to feel uncomfortable. I never met a guy like him, I never really knew there were guys like him out there.

"His name is Quincy", he said, "He lives close by you I meant to go see him after I dropped you off at school."

"When was the last time you spoke to him?", I asked.

"A couple days ago", he said, "Lately when I call, no one answers."

I thought about the little boy that got killed yesterday. I tried not to think about it being Quincy's son but all the clues were there. He lived close by me, his name is Quincy, and he hasn't spoke to him in a couple days. I didn't want to bring it up to Quincy tonight because this night was going good. Or least that's what I thought.

A few minutes later the man a came and put a huge lobster on the table.

I looked down at it in confusion. I had never had lobster before. The only thing I knew about it was what I saw on T.V. "How do you eat this?" I asked, embarrassed.

"Just break the shell and eat the meat.", Quincy said.

I picked up a claw and tried with all my strength to break it, but it wouldn't break.

"Your so weak", Quincy said, then he got up and helped me.

"Pull the claw apart and pull out the meat.", he said. He pulled the claw apart and pulled the meat out then he dipped it in butter and put it in my mouth."You like?", he said.

"I love", I said and I swallowed.

We starred into each others eyes and moved in to kiss but it was interrupted with gun shots."FUCK FUCK FUCK", Quincy yelled, banging on the table, making me jump. Then he pulled a huge machine gun from under the table.

"What the hell?", I asked and stood up.

"You have to be prepared", he said."Stay here"

Quincy walked inside the yacht."This nigga just gonna leave my lil ass out here by myself with no weapon.", I said to myself.

As I heard a lot of gun shots and looked around and saw a shadow coming around the corner so I grabbed a knife and got under the table. I saw someone's feet coming close. "I know you under there bitch.", a girls voice said,"Come out bitch."

I took a little peep from under the table and Gia standing there. I looked her up and down to see if she had any weapons. She didn't have any so I crawled from under the table."Nice dress bitch.", she said.

"Thank you", I said, and put my hand on my hip. I wasn't about to let her intimidate me. I decided to act like a lady while she looked stupid.

"To bad you about to die in it", she said.

"This is a joke right?", I asked.

"Nope I'm officially about to kill you", she said while walking towards me.

"Gia your pregnant", I said,"You don't want to hurt your baby?"

"My baby will be just fine", she said.

I held up the knife and pointed it at her."Bitch put that knife down", she said.

"I don't want to do this", I said.

"Shut yo ass up", she said, while spit flew out with each word.

She punched me in the face and pushed me down."Looks like this will be easy", she said.

"STOP", I yelled then I kicked her in the belly.

"You bitch", she said then she jumped on top of me.

I held up the knife and begin to stab her but she knocked it out of my hand. I punched in the nose and blood began coming out. She grab the knife and held it over my head, I tried to hold her hands , but I stopped when I felt the heat of a gunshot.
