Karma|A Dave East Story|

10. Unexpected visitor

(I'm sorry for taking so much time in between updates. I'm working on a REALLY great book that y'all gon love🤍)

Jamal's perspective:

"It's some shit going on baby. I can feel it but I can't trust nobody but you to help me figure it out. I need you"

"You know I got you."

"See you soon"

I hung up the phone and went upstairs to Karmani.

Karmani's Perspective:

I'm standing in the mirror spreading foundation over the bruises on my neck. I never thought I would have to do this again. He's done way worse to me than this. At least it wasn't my face this time... Maybe he was right, I should have asked him to leave, I knew he would be mad but I still left. I did this to myself, I knew better.

I heard him knock on the bathroom door before he opened without waiting on a response. I looked at him through the mirror, his head hung low as if he was regretful.

"Mani... I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just that I love you so much that I couldn't fathom anything or anyone taking you away from me again. I was angry last night and I let it get the best of me and I'm sorry."

This will be the last apology I accept from him... I'm going to meet with Jayda today, I want him gone as soon as possible. Today I'm going to play my roll so damn well that killing him tomorrow will be a breeze! With tears of anger still welling in my eyes, I turn to him.

"It's okay baby. I should have asked you, I know you love me and I love you too." I grabbed his face and kissed him.

"Thank you baby, you're so understanding that's why I'll always love you, till death due us part."

"Till death do us part." I said wrapping my arms around his neck and laying my head on his chest listening to some of his last heartbeats.

I love him, I don't know why I do but it just won't go away. That's not gon stop me from getting rid of him though. The scars he left me with are more than just physical ones. I'll never be the same Karmani I was before I met Jamal. He was one of the best and the worst thing that ever happened to me.

My phone starts to ring making me let go of Jamal. He followed me into the room to see who was calling. It's my bestie, Tamyis! I haven't heard from her in months she's been so busy with her career. I haven't even had a chance to tell her her everything that's been happening. I answered the phone.

"Hay bestie" I tried my best to seem happy.

"Hay mama's! What's are you doing?"

"Nothing bitch... missing you. It feel like you been gone for yearsss!"

"Well you don't have to miss me much longer."

"You coming home?!"

"Yeap Ill be there by 6 tonight, I'm on my way to the airport now."

"Oh my God I got so much shit to tell you. You can't get here fast enough."

"Well I'll have my tea cup ready when I get there honeyyyyy!"

"Please do cause this shit hot!"

"Alright I'll see you when I get there."

"K, I love you."

"Love you too." She hung up the phone.

"Jamal baby I have a doctors appointment at 12 I be back home before 2:00."

"Okay mamas, I trust you." He kissed my forehead.

"I'll start dinner when I back."

"Okay."

I grabbed my keys and head straight to the doctor office. That's where I told Jayda to meet me because I know he's tracked me somehow. Anything is possible with Jamal. Junior's auntie is a nurse so she's letting us borrow one of the rooms to meet in. Jay parked around the corner and walked to the office. Juniors auntie walked us to our room.

"So tomorrow, we need you to bring Jamal to the Waffle House on Weston at 9:35, Kali will already be there. All the cameras in the store will be off all the staff took and have been replace by four of Dave's cousin's paid to shut the fuck up. Kali will shoot him. And leave of course you play the scared sad girlfriend role and none of this shit comes back our way."

"That sound like a plan to me. But there's an unexpected guest coming at 6 today."

"Who?"

"Tamyis is coming back to Atlanta. She is my best friend but I'm not sure if I should tell her bout this though cause she haven't been in it since the beginning. It's not that I don't trust her."

"Well I don't trust her ass she always been a little to complacent with Jamal's presence in your life, it's like she never gave a fuck what he did to you. That's why I can't kick it with her. Her spirit don't with me and my intuition has never ever led me wrong. Watch that girl and keep her out of our busy for the time being cause we bout to get into some real shiesty shit and we can't afford no slip ups boo."

"You right." Was the only thing I could say.

Jayda was about to leave the office but I grab her arm right quick.

"I really appreciate you and the boys for this... I hate to say it but this should have been done years ago."

"Your welcome boo, it's anything to make you smile."

"Tell Dave I'm taking him on a date when all this shit is over with."

She laughed and I gave her a hug before she left. So I gotta tell Tamyis that I'm going on a date with Jamal tomorrow night. I started to go back  but it's only 1:15. I call Jamal

"Hay baby" he answered that phone.

"Hay baby I broke a few nails I'm going to see Kenya.  I'll be home by 4."

"Okay, I'll send you some money. Before you come home stop by the store I'll send you the list later, call me if I don't."

"Mkay."

I did have a few broken nails so I guess I could stay out a little longer. I went to the shop and got my nails done. I was done by 3 so I checked my phone for the list he hadn't sent it so I call him.

"Hay, you never sent me that list."

"Okay... I uhh.. I'm bout... I'm bout to send it."

He seemed distracted by something.

"You okay."

"Yeah I'm just a lil busy. Call me when you're on the way home."

"Okay." I hung the phone up.
