Bedroom Boom

Chapter 28

Monday morning came along faster than expected. Telay was not sure if Pepsi had received the letter but she hoped for the best as she waited for Pepsi's arrival. Taste was already gone when Telay woke up, she was sure that he would not be back until later. She smiled at the thought of him never returning as she poured a glass of champagne. As she tipped the glass up to her mouth, she heard the sound of the doorbell fill the house. She hurried to the door hoping to see Pepsi's face. Pablo and another one of Taste's men were standing at the door, preventing Pepsi from entering the house.

"What the fuck is this?" Telay asked, pissed that the men were even there.

"Taste said he didn't want any company." Pablo stated bluntly.

"This aint no fuckin' company. This my sister, now move out the way." Telay demanded. The two men stood staring at one another before silently agreeing to let Pepsi in the house. Pepsi followed Telay to the master bedroom. She could not believe that Telay was going through so much and she had not noticed it. In reality she felt responsible for what Telay was going through. She could not imagine what they did to cause Telay to lose her baby but she knew that it had to be extremely painful both physically and mentally. The fact that she had not been there for Telay only hurt her more.

She looked at Telay with tears in her eyes.

"I am so sorry Telay. I was drunk that night. I would never do anything to hurt you. I know you think I did but I did not have sex with him. I mean, don't get me wrong, that doesn't justify what happened between us. I just say that so you know I did not intentionally try to hurt you. I never knew he was putting his hands on you. You should've told me earlier."

"Pepsi! Be quiet. We are on camera. We can't fuck this up." Telay said paranoid. She wanted desperately to be away from Taste but he had done so many terrible things to her that she was paralyzed with fear. She wanted to leave but she feared what he would do. In her mind she convinced herself over and over of ways she could leave and get away from him, that was why she had even called Pepsi. But when it came down to actually leaving she softened up and became scared. She believed that no matter what, he could always find her and she would always be his. She couldn't get away from him.

"Pepsi, I think we should just chill. If we fuck this up Taste is going to be mad. I really don't want to go through with this. I was just upset."

"Fuck this up? This shit is over. You're leaving today! Get whatever you're getting and come on." Pepsi added.

Telay paused for a minute to think of what could happen.

"What about Taste's bodyguards?" Telay asked not understanding what Pepsi's plan was.

"What do you mean? They bleed just like we do."

Pepsi removed two guns from her purse. "Whatsup with you Lay? This aint you. I aint never seen you scared of anything. He aint God. You don't have to stay with him. You think this shit is love? Taste aint the only man out here. It's men out here that will treat you the way you deserve to be treated."

"Pepsi, if I leave he is just going to send someone to come get me like he always does."

"Well if they come we gone light they asses up. I'm not playing Lay! You too good for this shit."

"We can't hide from him. He'll find us."

"Nobody said we were hiding. He really got your head fucked up if you thought I was going to leave you here. I'm not scared of him and if need be I'll put a bullet in his ass myself. I can't believe you put up with this shit. Why Telay? Why do you stay with him? You don't need him for shit. Fuck him. You deserve better than this shit ." She yelled wrapping her arms around Telay for what seemed like the first time in years.

Telay looked around the room at all the things she had to choose to take or leave. It was all material things that meant absolutely nothing to her. She chose to leave everything except for Marie's ring and the money she had been saving. She wanted to avoid alarming any of Taste's men.

"I need to grab my mother's ring." Telay said opening a drawer on a small dresser beside her bed. She grabbed her mother's ring and was about to head out the door when something else caught her attention. Taste's safe.

She ran to the closet and lifted up the carpet that covered the safe. It was never a plan to rob him but after all the shit she had been through with him she felt entitled to his belongings. Grabbing one of her Prada luggage bags, she started filling it up with his money.

"Pepsi," she called out for help. Pepsi came running to her aid. When she saw Telay in the safe she jumped to her knees and began stuffing her purse with the money as well.

"Here, take this. If anything goes down, we shoot first and ask questions later. Fuck it, we ain't even asking no questions." Pepsi said before handing her a gun.

"I love you Pep!"

"I love you too Lay! Let's do this shit!" They hugged again before leaving the room.

The same two men who were stopping Pepsi from entering were still posted at the door, watching as Telay and Pepsi came toward them.

"We have been instructed to keep you inside." Pablo said.

Telay looked at Pepsi for reassurance before getting enough courage to respond.

"I appreciate the effort but I'll be leaving now." Telay said politely. The other man put his hand in front of the door.

"Pepsi can go, but I can't let you go. I talked to Taste. He's on his way back and he wants you here when he get's here." Pablo explained.

For a minute it was silent and then suddenly Pepsi fired one shot into Pablo's chest followed by another in the second guy's chest.

"Run!" she told Telay. They ran out of the house before any of Taste's other men could respond to the sound of her shots. A black Lincoln town car with tinted windows was parked outside waiting for them.

"Take us to the jet." Pepsi told the driver. Telay looked back at what was supposed to be a home for her and began crying. Pepsi pulled Telay's head into her chest, allowing her to cry there.

"It's okay, don't cry. It's all over now." She assured her. Telay raised her head up to look her friend in the eyes.

"Thanks for coming through for me. If it weren't for you I would still be in that hell hole." Telay admitted thankfully. Pepsi hugged her again.

"It wasn't just me!" Pepsi told her as she pointed to the driver. "He played a huge part in this." She added. Telay looked at the driver to thank him.

"Harley?" Telay asked confused. He looked back at her and smiled. Telay started to wonder if he would tell Taste where she was but quickly reasoned that if he came this far with her he would not turn on her now, unless, he was working with Taste. When they locked eyes she was convinced that he was no longer on Taste's side without him saying anything.
