Karma|A Dave East Story|

9. The plot

~ 2 weeks later ~

Dave's Perspective:

I been going crazy for two weeks. 14 days straight I been tryna figure out how we finna off this nigga so I can get my girl back. I feel stupid fir even letting this shit happen. But he gotta die and it gotta look like a car accident, robbery gone bad, or something but the police or Mani can't suspect us. That nigga got my number blocked in her phone, so I can call or nothing.

We got our people watching him so I know he not at her house right now so I'm bout to slide to he crib. I just gotta see her. I pull up in her driveway behind her car. I jog to the front door and knock right quick.

"Dave..." I pulled her into a hug before I said anything to her

"We needa talk ma... can I come in?"

"No."  She stepped outside with me and closed the door behind us.

"Why didn't you call before you just showed up? Jamal could have been at home."

"First off I called you but my number blocked, second off I'm not stunn that nigga, he lost all my respect the day he put his hand on a woman."

"Dave, whether you respect him or not he's my boyfriend and he pays every bill in the house so if he don't want you here then you shouldn't be here!"

"So why you ain't made me leave yet Karmani?"

"I-" she stutters

"Exactly. You want me here and you ain't gotta say it cause I know."

"Dave, what do you want?"

"You. Karmani I miss you and I know you don't want to be with him for real."

"I do. And why do you care? You got a girl right?"

"What?"

"A girl, woman! That's what you told me when you ghosted me for almost two weeks."

Damn... I forgot about that.

"Mani, I was lying... I had a girl when I met you but after I spent the night with you I couldn't even look her in her face without thinking about you."

"Yeah whatever cause if you wanted me you wouldn't have ghosted me and you wouldn't have blew me off when I asked for your help."

"I'm sorry. I like you and I do want you and I spent those two weeks ghosting you trying to convince myself of otherwise because I ain't never caught feelings for nobody that fast. Ghosting you was the dumbest shit I've ever done and regret cause it put you back in the hands of a nigga who don't even deserve to breathe the same air as you."

Tears welled in her eyes. She wiped her face quickly.

"You need to leave before Jamal gets back."

"But Karmani-"

"I'll text you later Dave, just leave."

I smiled silently and left. I hit Junior phone.

"What it is?" He answered.

"You with Jayda?"

"Duhh nigga where else imma be?"

"Shut that soft ass shit up and put me on speaker"

"You on speaker."

"I just left Karma's house... she said she gon text me later. I'm working on keeping her away from the Jamal on the day we get ready to off his so y'all just let me know when."

"Fasho" they said in unison.

"Bye." I hung up.

Jayda and Junior are like twins they got a different type of relationship. Like even if shit don't work with them I think they could still be best friends. Jay is like the girl version of Junior and that's exactly what he need cause he's special kind of slow and ain't too many grown women gon put up with it.

Karmani's Perspective:

I closed my front door and went and got in my bed. I sat on my side of the bed with my back turn to the door. I scrolled through my contacts looking for Dave's but I don't see it. Jamal must have deleted his contact too. The last four of Dave's number is 7447 so I look for it in my recent calls.

I found his number and unblocked it. I saved his contact as Tamayis and locked my phone. Just as I put my phone down I heard the front door open. Jamal came upstairs and sat down on the bed.

"Hay baby" I kiss his lips softly.

"Hay baby girl."

He laid back. He seemed spaced out, he's think about something.

"What's on your mind?" I lay down on his chest.

He was silent for a minute.

"You love me Karmani?"

"Of course I do."

"You would do anything to see me happy right?"

"Yes, just like you would do for me."

"Even if anything meant you could get in trouble?"

"Baby.. is it something you wanna ask me?"

"That nigga you used to fuck with"

My heart started to beat out of my chest.
"David?"

"Yeah David. I want him dead."

My plans are sweaty and I just know you can hear my heart rate skyrocketing.

"Why?"

"He disrespected me and he threatened my life. You know I can't let him live."

"But Jamal he only said that to get with me. He's not really a threat."

"Are you defending him?"

"No baby! I just don't want us to have any unnecessary blood on our hands. He ain't even worth killing."

"Karmani my mind made up, if you love me you gon help me, if not then you just in my way and you know what I do to people in my way."

"Did you just threaten me Jamal?"

"You either with me or against me Karmani. Make your decision now!"

"Jamal I- I-"
