Chapter 41Ashanti
Mama Yvonne looked at me and asked, "Well, Shanti you had said you wanted to tell me something. Come on in the kitchen with me I need some water." I got up and followed Yvonne closely. I was trying to get to her and give her the tea before her nosey ass son came in and ruined it "Yvonne, I need to tell you something. It's kind of bad news." She, looked at me strange "Shanti, if it's something about my trifling ass son, I'm not going to be surprised or hurt. So, please baby just spit it out." That, shocked me but, I told her "Marquez wanted to kill me. I think he still does. By, the end of the night you may not have a son." She paused, then turned to me "Ashanti, look at me. You do what you have to. I knew there was something wrong when his ass showed up after you. I'm not stupid, I know my child. And, I knew once he got involved with that damn Gomez character, he hit rock bottom." I couldn't believe what I was hearing, she knew so much and she didn't care. I wonder if Marquez knew, that his mother had given up on him. I kind of felt bad but, that quickly went away. Mama Yvonne, gave me a hug and whispered "By any means necessary " and she walked outside. I guess that was the green light to go ahead and leave, I knew that if I left Marquez would follow, and I knew that when he caught up to me, I'd blow his brains out. I walked, out of the kitchen and into the backyard. I gave Mama Yvonne a kiss, and told her I'd text her later on. I knew, that after Marquez and I left she'd leave; she'd go somewhere far but keep her phone number the same, I knew that I might not make it back to my son, but I had to if not for anything else, I'd have to live for Tae. Something in me told me that I should go see Tae, go kiss his fat little face, and hug him but, I couldn't, I'd put him in so much danger if I did. I knew, that he was safe with his father's people in the Caribbean, I just had to think that we'd be together soon.
I drove in silence, I was in deep thought. I look in the rearview mirror and saw Marquez following me, I made a sharp turn, he almost crashed I laughed. Why was he so hung up on me? I looked over at my gun, I had another one in my trunk, I always had it there. I remember when, Kennon showed me how to shoot, I felt so sexy. I smiled to myself, I drove a few more miles up the freeway, the whole time Marquez was on my trail "Why are you so eager to die?" I said to no one. I laughed to myself, he was in so much pain yet, he was worried about my next move. I heard my phone chime, I didn't look at it, I knew who it was from. I got off the freeway and went to the closest Taco Bell, ordered the nacho bell Grande and then took off towards the old Navy yard. I sat, in the shipyard and devoured my food then, I waited. I sat there for maybe ten minutes, and sure enough Marquez pulled up. I was ready, before I got my phat girl on I pulled the shot gun out of the trunk, and put it under my seat, I had my glock in my lap and my tazer was fully charged and ready. I was ready, he didn't know it but I did. Rather, I lived or died tonight, I wasn't going down without a fight. I saw Marquez moving inside of his car, I wonder if he brought a gun too? I wanted to run up on his car and just start shooting but, that would be obvious. Maybe, I could get in the car and seduce him, get him all hot and bothered, then get him with his pants pulled down. I laughed at the thought. I started my car and moved out of the light, I turned my lights off and parked, I got out of the car and waited for him to pull up. Like, clock work he pulled up, he didn't notice me but, he parked his car. I heard my phone vibrating I saw his name pop up, I squatted by the back of my car, and waited. I heard his foot steps, I pulled the tazer out of my pocket and shocked his ankles. The agony that escaped from his body, tickled me. I couldn't help but laugh, I got up and slipped to where he had fallen. I bent over "Hi Marquez, how are you feeling?" I laughed as I kicked him in the side. He, tried to grab my leg but, he got tazed again. I pulled, the shot gun from under the car and aimed it. I took a deep breath "Marquez, look at me bitch nigga. Look at me!" I felt the tears forming, I wouldn't let them fall.The tears burned but I didn't let them fall, my hand began to shake as I gripped the gun did I really wanna shoot Marquez? Then I started thinking about everything that happened how he made me believe that Kennon was dead and how he was going to just let me break my baby's heart by telling him that his father was dead, I started to get pissed off thinking about it, Marquez tried to get up but I tazzed his ass again. "Don't move you sorry ass bitch!" Marquez's screams of agony were music to my ears. I was enjoying every single minute of it I cocked the gun then pointed it straight at Marquez then I looked him dead in the eyes. "Any last words bitch?!" I heard sniffling this nigga was crying I couldn't believe it I thought he was hard? Now he's over here crying like a pussy all I could do was laugh cause this was fucking hilarious then I finally heard him say. "Shanti baby please don't do this I was only trying to make a better life for our family." I stepped closer and put the gun to his head he was full of shit how was me lying to my son about his father going to be better for our family? "Baby please don't do this I love you." I smirked at what Marquez said then the smirk faded. "You don't love me you never did." Marquez tried to stand so I hit him with the butt of the gun I knelt down to his level then I pulled the trigger and just like that Marquez was gone I wiped the gun clean and threw it in the water, I walked back to my car then got in. A part of me couldn't believe that I just did that then another part of me felt like a bad bitch I pulled out my phone and texted mama Yvonne. "It's done I'm sorry." I started my car then pulled off I didn't know where the hell I was going, I just knew that I had to get away my phone dinged I knew that it was mama Yvonne but I kept driving. I missed Tae so much but I knew that he was safe with his father's family and I knew that we'd eventually see each other again. I continued to drive until I reached a gas station, I pulled up then I checked my phone there was a message from mama Yvonne. "That's my girl there's no need to be sorry honey you saved me a lot of trouble I love you be safe." I replied back to her message. "I love you too and I will." It still shocked me at the things that she said about her son but I just took it as her being tired of his shit so I never questioned her, my phone dinged I looked down at the screen and seen Kennon's picture I opened the message. "Titi are you okay? I hope you are listen, there's something that I wanted you to know, I just wanted to apologize for all the hurt that I caused over the years I never meant to hurt you just know that I love you and I'm always here for you baby girl." The tears finally fell and I just let them fall that was the first time Kennon ever expressed his feelings to me and I honestly loved it after a few minutes, I stopped crying then I got out the car and pumped some gas then I went inside the store. I bought snacks for the road then paid for everything, I walked out the store and got in my car then my phone dinged again this time I saw Rico's picture pop up I opened the message and read it. "Twin at least answer me please tell me your okay." I smiled cause I could see his facial expression as I read this so I just had to reply to him. "I'm fine twin I love you!" I put my phone down and started my car and pulled off like I said before I don't know where I'm headed but I know that where ever I end up I'll be safe and hopefully far away from harm, I just needed to get myself together and get back on my feet I needed to be stable so I drove in silence for awhile I knew that I wouldn't be down for long I'm a strong woman nothing would ever change that mama didn't raise no sorry bitch so I would never be weak I'm phenomenal and I will always be, My phone dinged two times I looked down at the screen and saw a message from Rico another message from Keyona I didn't answer them I would answer as soon as I made it to my new destination wherever the hell that may be I just drove in complete silence as the sun begin to set it's time to start a new life for me and mine and forget the past.
