Bruised Peach

MORE PROBLEMS PRT. 2

Salem's POV.🦇

I watched her closely as she laid in bed, stitches on the side of her head and shit. "Man fuck!" I yelled slamming my hand on the nightstand.

"Salem she's alive, you made it in time. Don't beat yourself up." Dr. Now said looking at me, taking the stethoscope from his neck. "You know it ain't about that shit." I said shaking my head almost tearing up looking at my girl like that. He just nodded his head packing up his gear, "she's going to be fine just no liquor while she's on these pills. Plenty of rest and I'll leave the bandages if she wants them on her neck." He said making me nod. "I appreciate you looking out, foreal." I told him handing him the six bands on my dresser.

"I've been working with you for quiet some time now and each time I'm amazed at what you get yourself into." He said. "Yeah well a man like me it's always some shit, but you getting paid good." I said cut and dry not trying to listen to a lecture. "I guess you are right." He smiled walking by me. "You can show yourself out." I told him before going to Eve's side of the bed grabbing the bruising cream for her eye.

I put a little on my finger before smoothing it over the purple and black bruise. I looked at her seeing everything he was able to do to her in that short period of time before I was able to get to her. Something in me knew some shit was up, she was late coming to the car for a reason. After not seeing her in ten minutes after she was scheduled to clock out I knew something was up. My life flashed before my eyes once I seen Scoop man handling her like that, the nigga was lucky I didn't kill him right then and there.

I had him tied up at my old furniture store I use to sale coke in. Wasnt shit there but some old couches, probably a few mattresses and tables. My homeboy Mario and Peety was holding him down for me. This shit between me and Scoop was personal and I told him the next time he even contact my girl I was going to kill his ass. Not only did you break contact but you bruised her up real bad and I wasn't going for that shit.

I heard movement in the bed making me snap out of thought and look down at a confused Eve just waking up. "Take your time baby." I said as she moaned and groaned trying to sit up making me help her. "What's this? What happened?!" She asked in a panic feeling the stitches on the side of your head. I grabbed her hand holding it, "Scoop tried to kidnap you, he bruised you pretty bad." I said seeing her face change and soon tears fall down. "But I got the nigga though, he ain't going nowhere and he damn sho' ain hurting you no more." I said watching her close her eyes then look up at the ceiling.

"I thought I was going to die." She cried shaking her head. All a nigga could think to do was get in the bed and hold her so I did. "I wouldn't let no shit like that happen Ight?" I said just imagining how bad I was finna do this nigga, he gone wish I would've shot his broke ass.

"All that shit happened at my job too. I know they have cameras!" She said worried. "Aye don't worry bout all that, it's being handled. I got a clean up crew for shit like this so trust me." I told her, kissing her head. I pulled her closer to me throwing the covers over us.

"Thank you for saving me." She kissed my hand making me shake my head, I was hating this shit for her. "I'm protect you always." After a while we both drifted off to sleep comfortably.

______________

I furrowed my eyebrows hearing my phone ring and ring making me slide my arm from under Eve. I sat up seeing it was eleven O'clock at night and Mario was calling.

"Woah." I said clearing my throat.

"We got this nigga tied up like a hog when we gone finish this nigga? He still ain't tryna give up that pack." He said making me shake my head. "Man he giving that shit up or he paying me my five bands." I said yawning, trying to shake back. "I'm be there in forty five minutes keep that nigga up." I said hanging up the phone throwing the wife beater over my head.
