Lucky Number Seven

Fabian 80

I sat in my living room waiting for Tyson to show up. Today I was finally going to lay my heart out on the table. I was slightly nervous because I really wanted to be with Tyson ever since I first laid eyes on him I knew he belonged to me, I knew he was going to be mine! But one thing I didn't count on was how deep his feelings for Seven were. Seven that nigger had to go, he was the only thing standing in the way of me getting with Tyson, I laid back against the couch and started to think what was it about Seven that Tyson loves so much I mean look at him, it couldn't be money because Seven was fucking poor, driving a hand-me-down car that he got from his brothers. I've had a new car every year since I was 15 and this nigger Seven still had Tyson. What was it about him that kept Tyson going back to him, after all the fucked up shit they did to each other they still ended up back together. As I sat thinking a knock came at my door.

"NETTIE." I yelled for our maid. I watched as Nettie came from out of the basement. Nettie has worked for us since before I was born. She was an elderly black woman, I loved Nettie like a pet.

"Yes sir." She said sweetly. See very obedient.

"Nettie the door isn't going to answer itself hurry up, I'm expecting someone. And bring us some food." I said not even bothering to look at her.

"Yes sir." Nettie said a few seconds later Tyson came in the room. I jumped up and walked over to him and tried to give him a hug, but he turned to the side and gave me a one armed hug. I tried not to let the anger show in my face.

"What's up Tyson." I asked smiling. Tyson smiled and rolled his eyes, God he was so fuckin sexy. I sat down and he sat across from me.

"So you're so arrogant that you can't answer your own door." Tyson said laughing. I started laughing and moved closer too him.

"Nah I was just getting ready for my favorite person in the world." I said looking in Tyson's eyes, I just knew Tyson was going to melt under my gaze. Then he did the last thing I expected him to do he pushed past me in sat down.

"Whatever Fabian let's start this assignment so I can get back to 'my' favorite person in the world." Tyson said pulling his books out of his bags. I stood there stuck for a second then sat down next to him. After like thirty minutes of doing homework I decided to ask Tyson a question that's always been on my mind.

"Tyson what is it about Seven that you love so much? And what is it about me that keeps you from seeing that I want to be with you?" I asked.

"Fabian look everyday I wake up the first thing I think of is Seven, I love him so much it hurts at times. I love Seven because Seven loves me more than anything he's my rib and I'm his. And the fact that you can't respect the fact that me and Seven are together is the reason me and you could never be anything more than friends." Tyson said. I felt myself getting pissed, but I couldn't let Tyson see it.

"Alright Tyson I'll back off." I said standing up.

"Where are you going, we have to finish this by tomorrow." Tyson said. I looked at him and smiled.

"I'm going to the bathroom, you want to come with me?" I said smiling.

"Whatever." Tyson said rolling his eyes and smiling. As I walked out the room Nettie was walking in. She saw me look at her and she put her head down. When I got to the top of the stairs I glanced back Nettie standing at the entrance to the living room looking from Tyson to me. I walked to the bathroom and closed the door but didn't go in, instead I crept back downstairs and listened to Nettie talk to Tyson.

"............... Fabian is planning to hurt the young man you just mentioned I think his name is Seven. Earlier today he was in here with two other young men and they said that when your friend goes to Georgia that they were going to make sure he got taken out of the picture." Nettie said to Tyson.

"Why are you telling me this?" Tyson asked.

"Because I cared for Fabian since he was a baby, that boy isn't right. He's been spoiled rotten since the day he was born. He feels he's entitled to anything he wants and that includes you. I don't think I can stand by while he takes another life just like he did that boy Aa..........." I walked around the corner with a smile on my face.

"Man I'm so hungry, Nettie do you think you could get us something to eat?" Nettie and Tyson jumped at the sound of my voice, they both stared at me like they were scared. "What do I have something on my shoe I said looking down.

"Mr.Fabian I didn't hear you come down stairs. What would you like to eat?" Nettie said.

"Surprise me." I said smiling. After Nettie walked away, I looked at Tyson who started gathering his things. "Where are you going?" I asked curiously.

"Seven just called he ummm........... he umm really needs me." Tyson said getting up and walking out. After Tyson pulled off I walked upstairs and called for Nettie. When she got to the top of the stairs, I was waiting.

"I regret this." I said with a smile on my face as I pushed her down the stairs. I slowly walked down the stairs, still smiling. I looked at her and check to see if she was still alive. And to my surprise she was. I decided to choke the rest of the life out of her. As soon as I started to reach for her neck, somebody pulled up in my driveway. I jumped up and pulled out my phone and dialed 911, as my parents walked in. "PLEASE HELP MY...... MY HOUSEKEEPER SHE.....SHE...... SHE FELL DOWN THE STAIRS...... OH GOD PLEASE HELP...... SHE'S LIKE A MOTHER TO ME......" I heard the keys in the door and the tears started. My parents walked in and saw my work. The ambulance came and got Nettie, and I put on the show of my life. Later that night I found out that Nettie would survive. Oh well you can't win them all.
