Redemption

Chapter 10

(Monica in Media)

Adrians POV

We were on the jet back to Baltimore, we kept the drugs in the storage and was going to import before anybody were to check the cargo, we had anti dog smell sprayed on the bags. I was in a seat in front of Shanice, her friends decided to sit with other people. She was in sweat pants, and a regular shirt her hair was wrapped in a scarf, anything she had on she was beautiful in, I still couldn't help but to think of her having sex with Lucky.

It was cold in the visiting area, I wasn't expecting no visitors not even my ex and she was claiming to have a baby by me, so I really didn't wanna see her ass. I sat down in my chair, and then this fine ass brown skin sat in front of me, she had on a glittery brown crop top and a skimpy ass skirt to match the top, her hair was straighten and laid on her mid back and she wore sunglasses, there was a purple bruise near her lip. She was quiet and drew a short smile, "Yo wasup?" I asked breaking the silence, it was pointless not to say anything and we got these phones near our ears. "You remember me?" "aha yes I do...Shanice." I smiled she chuckled a bit, but nothing serious to break the ice. "Why you visit me?" "I just wanted to see how you were doing." "I'm not gonna ask how you found me." I leaned back in my chair and licked my lips only to let her know she was looking good behind the mirror. "Why you looking at me like that?" "I can't help it you look good...take your glasses off so I can see your eyes." "mmm no." she shook her head, and it kinda bothered me "Aight then...I guess if I can't see your eyes we aint got shit to talk about." I was about to put the phone up and she took her glasses off, she had a black eye that was congruent to the mark that was near her lip, I sat down now heated wanting to know what happen. "Who hit you?" "it was nothing I swear....just my boyfriend." "So you think you can come down here..cuz we fucked and I'm gonna play super save a hoe...you got me fucked up, I don't pity you." I shook my head she then begin to bust out in tears. I then sat back down and picked up the phone "What you want?" she then looked at me, inside I didn't give a fuck she was in the dark worlds of emotional demise so to me she did this to herself, but I never liked a man putting his hands on a woman. "What's his name?" 

I then tapped Shanice leg to wake her up, she woke up and mugged me "What do you want?" she asked in groggy tone "If you got a business why you sleep with Lucky?" I asked "I mean it gets my bills paid, so do the restaurant but I need so much more." she then looked outside the window, I then chuckled, she then looked at me. "You remember your ex Jamal?" "Yes you got him killed." I took a sip of the grey goose that was given to me earlier "Because he hurt you..I'll do it again." "I am not a pity story, but I have never had a man to ever really care like you do..probably why I'm so attached to you." I took a deep breath and she closed her eyes to go back to sleep. She wasn't the woman to wake up to in the morning, but she relaxed me at night, and I guess she was my huge breath to breathe in when came sudden demise, I was going to fix broken pieces instead of wifing a hoe. 

Shanice POV 

We were back in Baltimore, my mother had left a note letting me know she was going to keep the kids for the weekend. I sat the note back on the table and poured me a glass of red wine, Adrian walked pass me and didn't utter a word, "Where you going?" I asked while following him, "I need to handle some business." He answered while changing from his suit to a pair of pants and a white shirt, "What business?" "Damn you a opp or some shit? Don't worry about it...we'll talk about it later, I need to talk with some old friends." He chuckled and walked pass me, I kept sipping my wine and walked to my room it was 7pm in Baltimore, I didn't really have any plans so I decided to treat myself, Adrian left out of the home. I took the entire bottle of wine, and went to the bathroom I ran me a hot bath with bubbles and bath salts, I then lit candles around and cut the light off, I sat down in the Jacuzzi and closed my eyes. My phone began to rang, "Damn I thought to myself." I then answered it to find out it was Monica, Adrians baby mama "hello?" I answered "We need to talk ASAP." "Where you wanna meet?" "We'll meet at your restaurant." "Ok give me and hour I need to get ready."
