Latrice's Story

chapter 18

AS NELSON AND LATRICE LEAVES FOR THE STORE, NELSON'S MOTHER CREEPS THROUGH NELSON'S ROOM. SEARCHING, LOOKING, SNOOPING TRYING TO SEE WHAT SHE CAN SEE AND FIND WHAT SHE CAN FIND. NELSON'S MOTHER IS DESPARATELY LOOKING FOR THAT THING, THAT ONE THING SHE CAN USE AGAINST LATRICE. LATRICE'S BI-POLAR NATURE MAKES HER SKEPTICAL AND SUSPICIOUS ALWAYS THINKING SOMEBODY IS OUT TO GET HER. LATRICE NATURALLY ASSUMES PEOPLE WOULD TRY TO GO THROUGH HER THINGS SO SHE HIDES EVERYTHING EVEN FROM NELSON. SHE HAS MONEY HIDDEN IN THE ROOM AND ON HER BODY. NELSON'S MOTHER KNOWS EVERY INCH OF THAT HOUSE AND SHE IS ON A MISSION TO FIND OUT EVERY SECRET LATRICE HAS AND SHE HAS A GOOD IDEA WHERE THEY MIGHT BE HIDING. AS LATRICE AND NELSON MAKE IT TO THE STORE LATRICE, TELLS NELSON SHE NEEDS SOMETHINGS THEY DON'T HAVE AT THE CORNER STORE. SO THEY WALK BACK TO THE HOUSE AND GET NELSON'S CAR AND DRIVE TO THE LOCAL WALMART. WHILE WALKING THROUGH THE STORE LATRICE TELLS NELSON SHE HAS TO USE THE BATHROOM. SHE GOES INTO THE BATHROOM, PULLS OUT HER PHONE AND CALLS THE PASTOR. "HEY BABE" THE PASTOR SAYS. "HEY LOOK MY PHONE IS DYING...CAN WE GET TOGETHER IN A COUPLE OF DAYS?" LATRICE SAID LYING ABOUT HER PHONE DYING. "A COUPLE OF DAYS" SAID THE PASTOR." " YEA, I'M NOT FEELING WELL, BUT I WANT TO SEE YOU JUST GIVE ME A COUPLE OF DAYS." "OK BABE....SO ARE YOU ALL RIGHT DO YOU NEEDS ANYTHING?" THE PASTOR ASKED. "NO I'M COOL, BUT THANK YOU FOR ASKING" LATRICE SAID. THAT SMALL HINT OF CONCERN FROM THE PASTOR IS WHAT MAKES LATRICE FEEL WHOLE WITH HIM. COMFORTED BY HIM. THAT'S WHAT MAKES HIM BE LIKE A FATHER, LOVER FRIEND TO LATRICE. ON TOP OF THAT, EVERYTIME THEY GET TOGETHER HE LEAVES HER WITH A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS, AND TO A TEENAGER THAT'S A HELL OF ALOT OF MONEY. LATRICE LEAVES THE BATHROOM AND WALKS BACK THROUGH THE STORE TO FIND NELSON. JUST AS SHE SPOTS NELSON AND BEGINS TO WALK TOWARD HIM, A WOMAN CALLS HIS NAME. "NELSON...HI NELSON" SHE SAID. NELSON TURNS HIS HEAD TO LOOK.....IT WAS DIAMOND. JAMIE'S FRIEND DIAMOND. BIG BOOTY DIAMOND. THE DIAMOND WHO WAS IN THE MOTEL 6 SUCKING AND RIDING AND FREAKING ON LATRICE'S MAN, DIAMOND. LATRICE HID IN THE OTHER ISLE SO SHE COULD SEE WHAT THIS WAS ALL ABOUT. "HEY DIAMOND" NELSON SAID WHILE HE WAS SCOPING THAT BUTT PICTURING WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE WHEN HE SAW IT BARE. LATRICE STOOD THERE PEEPING. SHE SAW NELSON LOOKING AT HER LIKE HE WANTED TO TASTE HER. LATRICE HAS NO IDEA HOW HE KNEW HER AND SHE SURELY DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT WAS HER VOICE SHE HEARD ON THE PHONE THE OTHER DAY WHEN NELSON'S PHONE CALLED HER BY MISTAKE. LATRICE SO VERY INSECURE COULD NOT WATCH IT ANYMORE. SHE DECIDED SHE DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW IF NELSON WAS FLIRTING WITH HER OR IF HE HAD AT ONE TIME MESSED AROUND WITH HER. ALL SHE KNEW IS THAT SHE WANTED HER MAN AND SHE DIDN'T WANT ANYBODY ELSE TO HAVE HIM. "BABE....HEY BABE" WHEN NELSON HEARD LATRICE'S VOICE HE WALKED AWAY FROM DIAMOND AND WALKED TOWARD LATRICE. "WHO WERE YOU TALKING TO NELSON AND WHY DID YOU JUST LEAVE HER STANDING THERE?" ASKED LATRICE. "OH THAT WAS NOBODY. SHE WAS JUST TRYING TO HIT ON ME, BUT I PUT HER IN HER PLACE." NELSON SAID. "SURE YOU DID NELSON; I SAW YOU STARRING AT HER ASS LIKE YOU WERE STUDYING IT. NELSON...WHEN YOU GON STOP LYING TO ME." LATRICE SAID. NELSON KNOWING HE HAD JUST DODGED A BULLET SAID NOTHING. HE AND LATRICE SIMPLY GOT WHAT THEY HAD TO GET AND HEADED HOME. AS THEY WERE GETTING OUT OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE, NELSON'S MOTHER WAS MAKING A MAJOR DISCOVERY. IN THE CRAWL SPACE THAT LEAD TO THE ATTIC IN NELSON'S CLOSET SHE FIND LATRICE'S JOURNAL...."YES I GOT IT" NELSON'S MOTHER SAID....TO BE CONTINUED.
