"The fuck you mean she ain't there nigga?"
Titan yells, his fist slams into the steering wheel, and my heart sinks. I just knew I was gonna get to see mommy today.
A tear falls to my cheek, he reaches over and wipes it away before he steps out the car agitated, pacing back and forth. I love how invested my baby is.
"Aight , fuck man, damn! Yall fall back and get outta there, I'll meet y'all at the spot in a hour."
He climbs back in taking a deep breath and just stares at me. Neither of us really know what to say. I look the other way as more tears come and he caresses my thigh.
"I'm sorry baby girl."
"It's ok." I sniffle.
"No it's not, Look at me."
I shake my head.
"Essence."
"I'm fine Titan." I huff.
"Nahh, you fine as fuck, but look at me."
I try to hide a smile as I turn back towards him shaking my head.
"You want daddy to take you to shopping or something.We gon' figure it out , you trust me right?"
"You keep forgetting we can't go out in public."
"I don't give a fuck about these niggas, if that's what'll make my baby smile, then it's whateva."
"I don't want to shop." I lie.
"Lying ass, you wanna drive the Porsche back home then, since you always begging my ass to drive it."
"No." I pout.
"Come sit in my lap."
"Noooo." I whine.
"You know I'll snatch that lil ass up, stop telling me no!" He swiftly grabs my waist pulling me into his lap and I can't help but to laugh.
"Titaaaannn!"
"I love you." He mumbles as he buries his face in my neck.
"Stoop, your tickling meeee!" I try to wiggle out of his grasp.
"What you want me to do baby?"
"I don't know, what if she's really gone forever?"
"Don't say that shit, what I keep telling you about y0 words and speaking shit into existence."
"Uhhhgghh!" I sigh.
"We gon' find her, I can't promise you when but we will. We experts at what we do." He kisses my cheek and then my lips.
"I know."
"Damn, you smell so fuckin' good, Lets make a baby in the back seat."
"We just fucked like two hours ago you nympho." I giggle.
"So, you know I could stay inside you all day baby."
"Can we go get some ice cream?" I change the subject.
"Aight, get off me, you always up on a nigga, I know I'm handsome, but damn."
"Shut up!" I laugh as I mush his face and climb back to my seat.
"Where you want ice cream from?" He asks as his phone vibrates.
"Doesn't matter."
"What nigga?" He answers the phone.
Suddenly I get a text from another unknown number
"Fuck" I curse under my breath as Titan finishes his call."Damn, bae I got some shit to tell you."
My eyes widen.
"Nah, not about ya mama ,but my nigga just saw Torian's bitch ass at a gas station down in NOLA, with a bitch who look like Akira."
"What? You mean Amira? Is he sure it was her?"
"Yea, he sent me a pic." He hands me his phone and I quickly zoom in on the females face but it's too blurry.
"Didn't she have a red bob like that last time you saw her, and she pregnant and short like her too." He says.
"I—I don't know, she didn't say anything about going out of town, and he killed her husband! Why the hell would she be with him?"
"I don't know bae, try calling her. These bitches out here grimey as fuck, I don't put nothin' past em."
I scroll through my log to call her but it goes straight to voicemail.
"This is cra—"
"Fuck, get down!"
POW!POW!POW!
I scream as bullets ricochet off of the bulletproof glass, Titan hops out gun in hand.
"Baby no!" I yell.
I watch as he shoots both the masked gunmen, one in the head and the other in the back as a beat up red Toyota takes off. He walks over to the one he shot in the back, who is trying to crawl away ,and pulls out a switchblade and stabs him in the neck. Blood squirts everywhere and his body goes rigid.
"Dumb ass nigga." He laughs as he kicks him in the head and wipes the blood from his face.
"Titan, what's going on!" I cry as he climbs back in the car.
"It's ok baby, calm down."
"I can't calm down ,what the fuck!" I shake my head as I reach in the glove compartment for napkins and wipe his face.
"Probably some niggas working for Torian's bitch ass."
"I—we gotta get—"
"Shhhh—" He presses a finger to my lips.
" I know baby, we moving to Cali soon ok? I gotchu, you know that."
"I just never would've thought that he was this kind of guy , he goes to church and everything!"
"You know that don't mean shit , Christians be the sickest mothafuckas out here."
"True, I just wish he would just let this shit go, it's not even that deep."
"That nigga probably a Scorpio, you know they asses can't let shit go, but I ain't gon lie, my ass would be fuckin shit up too if you and that voodoo pussy left my ass."
" I told you we never did anything!"
"Mmhmm ,well yo voodoo queen ass put a damn spell on that nigga or sum, I know you did some shit to me too cause you got my ass obsessed but it's cool, I'll let you have me." He winks.
"Whatever! I don't do Voodoo." I laugh.
"I got Haitian and creole in my family bae, you can't lie to daddy, it's all good though, I'm with the shit."
Damn I knew I shouldn't have listened to Mani and put my stuff in his spaghetti.
Oh well 😈
