More Than Tempted

1. The Gamble

 
  
  
Kaliliah was pumped on adrenaline even as tears poured from her eyes.

She found out why her little cousin was hiding out in her bedroom since she came home from school yesterday.

Melody followed closely behind as she tries to stop Kaliliah from making one of the biggest mistakes of her life. Confronting a bully.

Josiah Gamble isn't just anyone, but the nephew of some well off rich man with a whole lot of influence. An the video Kaliliah saw on the internet is how a boy was beating on Melly but with no face shown, Kaliliah searched the entire social media platform in search of the tattoos and clothes that matched that guy's description in that very location on that particular day. All the evidence lines up to him.

Kaliliah grabbed her grandmother's saucepan and marched out of their apartment dressed in her construction work attire.

Through she's already late for work, she couldn't let her cousin's situation go like that.

Kaliliah marched unto the basketball court where a game was in commence, surrounded by people who starts looking at her crazy.

She went right in and snatched Josiah before he made a dunk, pulling him down and starts beating him with the pan.

As soon as she started she was pulled away from him and they held her back.

"Bitch, are you crazy!"

Many other comments came after as few tries to come close but she fought them off.

Melly's crying made them realize exactly what happened. She saw how his closest friends recognized her.

"The same hand yuh tek back yuh fist, a it yuh use come abuse mih likkle cousin!" She yelled. "A muss battyhole yuh come thru or yuh nuh raise good fih a beat woman. Pick on someone yuh own size... An leggo affa mih!"

She fought the two other players that were holding her back. One got kicked in the shin and the other, she spin his arm so fast that if he fought it, she would use her strength to break it.

They all stepped away from her, surprised as she watched how a few others took Josiah off the ground. A little bloody and beaten as he should be.

"You don't know what you just did lady!" One yelled at her.

"Do I look like I care!" She yelled back at the little boy though she was smaller in size compared to them. She even glared at the one hiding her saucepan behind him.

"You should..."

"This bitch..."

Kaliliah hissed at them. "The next time he feels like the little bitch that he was raised to be, to be putting his hands on my little cousin. I'll personally..."

She didn't get to finish when one of the boys came up behind her feeling disrespected by her words that she was saying about his friend. All she saw was his shadow on the ground and quickly formulated her move. He didn't get too close before she rolled up her fist, turned and sock him right in the throat as he staggered away holding it and trying hard to breathe.

Gasps filled the courts.

Another came and she ran up and kicked him in the rib with her hard work boot that had him crying out from the pain. Sitting on the ground looking at her with disbelief.

"Whose next?" She asked, looking around.

All she got was silence and phones up recording her.

She looks back at Josiah standing there in pain but trying his best to hide it. As he surely didn't get enough beaten.
