Roosevelt P.O.V
I sat in my office counting up the offerings "thirty three...thirty four..forty fi-"
A knock on the door had totally distracted me from the number I left off at "da- see this is why we go to church to keep our temples cause I would of gave t-" another knock came from the other side, pissing me off.
"Who is it?" I yelled setting the money down onto the desk "Mother Price" I cleared my throat wondering what she wanted.
Bible study was over with..."come in" I said, the door slowly opened revealing the older lady I seen at the hospital.
"Hey come on in close the door behind you..will ya?" I said in my phony tone giving her a fake smile.
"I had uh got in contact with your new wife Erin and she said she's been healthy enough to stay away from hospitals" why the fuck is she all up in my business?
" I think you should be leaving" she shook her head "I know something fishy round here and once I find out I'm leaving this damn messed up church and resigning my membership to a more respectful and responsible person" the lady said pointing her hands into my face "put your hands down" I said calmly only for her to point it closer "you? Are a terrible person how can I sit here and get advice from you and your playing in rabbit holes"
I don't know what came over me but, I grabbed her hand bending her fingers back a bit "shut up bitch damn" her eyes had widen "just cause your old wrinkled ass ..booty call days are over doesn't mean mines have to be"
She wince in pain as I end them back more "seems like you need that life alert right now" I joked to myself pulling back from her.
She groaned rubbing her fragile hand that looked kinda black and blue since she was light skinned.
"And I'd keep my mouth shut if I were you" I said in a stern tone, giving her a evil facial expression "now run along you hag" she quickly stood up out the chair walking out as fast as her feet could take her.
Once the door shut I burst into laughter "sick of people.."
I arrived home to Carl being a jackass once again. Seeing Zion dropping Ruth had me wanting to leave Carl no good ass as well.
"So now we ain't telling each other where the hell we be posted at?!" Carl said walking towards me I had back up a bit "no I wanted you to Rest In Peace" he quickly grabbed me by my collar "bitch don't play that fucking game with me!"
I remained silent "next time you do something dumb again I'm fucking your ugly ass up...now go upstairs" I hesitate before making my way towards the staircase ,looking back at him wondering where did I go wrong.
