PHAT 3

Chapter Twenty.

Bishop

I woke up next to Mira cuddling under me. I scooted over to give space in between us. I lifted up and covered her naked body. I grabbed my phone and checked my messages. I had a text from Monte asking was I coming out today. I texted him and told him no. I lied and told him I had class. I haven't been to class in weeks and I quit my job. I actually been thinkin g hard on shit and maybe that life is for me. I mean it's kind of exciting. I feel a rush and that's good because my life is dry as hell. "Mira" I said smacking her ass. "What" she said in an annoyed voice. "Wake up" I said. "Ugh" she said sitting up. I turned around and stared at her. She stared at me back. "What" she said. I noticed she wasn't wearing a necklace I bought her a while back. She would never take it off, but if I wasn't mistaken I swear I seen that necklace at Monte house. "Where your necklace at" I asked. "What you mean" she said. "The necklace I bought you a while back Mira where is it?" I asked suspiciously. "I didn't tell you that I lost it" she said. "Oh yea you did my bad" I said lien. This bitch must think I'm a damn fool. Her ass ain't tell me nothing. I don't even think she knew she lost it.

"I'm ready to go" she said out the blue. I knew something was up. Mira never wants to leave my house. She'll rather be up under me 24/7. "You good" I asked. "Yes just not feeling to well" she said putting her clothes on. I was about to say something but she ran out the room before I could. I heard loud gagging. She was throwing up. I walked in the bathroom. "Your pregnant" I asked. She looked at me and have me this look. "No it's  that Chinese food from last night" she said flushing the toilet. I watched her clean herself. I don't know why she think I'm a dummy. I know she pregnant. I ate Chinese last night with her and you don't see me throwing that shit up.

"Before I take you home can you ride with me somewhere" I asked. She put one hand on her hip. "Where is you trying to take me because I know you just seen me throwing up like damn I don't feel good" she said with an attitude. "Its only gone be a second" I said to her. "I'll be in the car" she said. I nodded and put on some warmer clothes. I grabbed my gun and made sure it was loaded.

Every time I have a bad feeling about something nine times out of ten I'm always right, and right now is one of those moments.

"About time bishop" she said. I kept quiet and turned on some music. Loyalty by Kendrick Lamar was on. I laughed. The timing couldn't be any better. I parked a couple houses down from Monte crib. "Why we over this way" Mira asked. "Who Baby is it Mira" I said turning the car off. "What" she asked. "Who fucking baby is it" I said getting upset. "I'm not- she was about to say until I cut off. "Don't lie to me Mira" I said pulling my gun out. "Bishop I'm not lien" she said with hesitation in her voice. "I never brought you over Monte house so how did you know who lived here" I said aiming the gun at her. She started to cry. "I don't know Bishop" she said closing her eyes. "Bitch you know now talk before I blow your fucking brains out" I yelled. "Okay okay okay Bishop" she said trying to catch her words. "Monte and I been sleeping around" she added. "How long" I asked. "Remember That night we got into it outside your house" she asked. "Yea" I said. "I was so mad at you and wanted to get back at you and Monte was down for it" she confessed. "He wanted me to set you up and you wanted to set them up" she continued. I tighten my jaws. "Monte also told me that Riya is your sister" she continued to speak. "What you say" I said. I heard what she said but I wanted her to run that back by me so I can really be sure on what I heard. "Monte said he heard Riya father on the phone a while back talking about you being his son" she repeated.

Then I started to think. The whole time I thought this man was popping up in my life was an complete stranger. Whole time I been wanting to meet my father and he's been right in front of my face. When was he gone tell? Did Riya know? Do her moms know? I had so many questions and I needed answers. "Mira I always wanted us to work because your the only female I ever opened up too" I confessed. "I guess a hoe would forever be a hoe" I said pulling the trigger. I watched her lifeless body fall against the car door. Her head laid on the window full of blood. I grabbed her phone and sent Monte a text.

Monte really thought he had everything together. I just wished this nigga was smarter then what he thought he was.
