Chapter 32Tiony's pov
If you continue to ask yourself why people do what they do as if it isn't what they want to do, then you're not ready to face reality. There are many ways to take revenge when someone does you wrong, but oftentimes, it's better to leave it to God and karma. Some sacrifices are worth it, while others are simply wasted efforts, especially on people who are ungrateful. It doesn't take much to harden someone's heart and the way I was feeling now it's like mine is remade with lead. I know there are a lot of relationships that only look as if they're going great from the outside, while the couple is unhappy. I may be punishing myself by noticing everything about the man I'm with, but if most women were doing so, then they would have saved themselves a lot of heartbreak.
As I drove inside the parking lot at Arly's workplace, I saw Carissa and her woman sitting inside a car. I made sure to park over at the far side so they could be entertained by my walk over to their car. I went to the passenger side Carissa was at and handed her card through the window, telling her. "Here."
Her butch was staring at me, and I kept eye contact with her for several seconds while she looked as if she had seen a ghost. My walk was leisurely across the parking lot back to the jeep, and I drove off pretending to be talking to someone on my phone. I didn't want Carissa's money, just as how Gibbanks didn't need to have her buying our groceries, but her card was very convenient for me to splurge on, and she will have to work for several months to earn back all I had spent and withdrew. Or Gibbanks can simply give it back to her so I can fuck him up. He has no idea that I have been keeping track to see if he has been doing any spending on all the women in his call list from his sim card he claims that's only for business and the ATM receipts that he keeps help me out tremendously.
I drove to the retailer to collect the bulk items that I had gone there and ordered on a whim. 'Groceries and supplies fi months, har pussyclaate, a man she waan mine. He has a family, and she knows him have him 'oman and son dem. Hurry up and mek wi go ova a di next store to, she affi mine di whole bloodclaate a wi and don't ina nuh argument wid di fucka, just start make demands.' Mommy's upset voice replayed in my head, and I nodded as if she was here in the flesh speaking to me. It was sound advice, and I would have taken home everything I had purchased if the jeep and taxi we chartered could hold them all.
When I got home, Mommy came and helped me to unload all the things. She took a portion, and we packed them inside the jeep and carried them over to her yard. "Yuh nuh si sey yuh babyfada a buy solar set up fi him parents to? A must das why him affi a sell fuck, cause it come in like everything him buy a him yard, him affi buy gi dem to. Mi nuh sey him nuffi tek care a him parents and help dem in any way him can, but wha happen to André and him sisters?" She asked and informed me, venting on what she has observed about Gibbanks' family.
"Things happen at the right time, none a dem nuh dey yah fi si sey mi come home wid more things, dem will only know if him tell dem because can bet him a watch the camera dem." I say, knowing that Miss Beverly has a doctor appointment she has to go to after they carried the foreigners to the airport.
We watched the midday news and chatted about the impending hurricane. "Chupsy, Gibbanks, did buy di gas fi di generator?" She asks.
"I don't know, and I nah remind nor ask him nutn. Wey him fi pay attention to nuh important dan him precious Carissa." I responded and told her.
When I went over to my house, I gave Artyon something to eat, then went inside the master bathroom to see if Gibbanks had removed the tiles to take out any of the money we had stashed there. My face took on a sinister sad smile as he didn't bother to even replace the tiles. He just left them on the floor. As I packed away the rest of the things, my thoughts became darker and darker until I was burning with fury. I took up the box containing two dozen big grace corned beef, carried it inside the store looking pantry, and placed it firmly on top of the box of luncheon. I had made another hiding place for our money from a few weeks ago and had felt guilty for not telling him. Now I have proven that when you follow your mind, you can't go wrong.
