Ringo Martinez
My mom kept calling all through yesterday to speak to Toya and make sure we were coming, just like she's calling right now. But with two deadly weapons pointing at my face, I don't really think it's the best time to be speaking to my mama. This was really meant to be a quick exchange, in and out, ten minutes max, but these junkies wanna play games and go off script. Crazy cause I really really wanted today to be as chill as possible.
A lot of people think I'm mute. Some think my tongue was cut off and sold in the black market at birth, I've honestly heard it all. But nah, none of that. I have specific people i speak to regularly, like my family, my girl, and Ric. Other times i just find speaking so...unnecessary. If you're going to do something don't talk it into the ground, just do it or shut the fuck up.
"Are you mute or something? I'm talking to you, GET ON YOUR FUCKIN KNEES!" One of the retards yelled. There's that shit i be talking about.
"Do it or get outta my face, i got shit to do." I said and they exchanged dramatic surprised looks, muttering some shit like 'ooh he speaks', but see that was their first mistake. If you're going to pull your piece on anyone, never look away.
My phone started to buzz again as i wiped blood off my face, it's my mom calling for the umpteenth time. I ignored it while i dragged the body to the edge of the pier. After dropping the first one in, I was pulling the second one to the edge when my phone buzzed again, I know she won't stop calling till i pick up, so i did. "Hey ma."
"Hello Martin, how are you?"
I grimaced at the name, 'Martin', I hate that name. "I'm fine ma, can i call you back later? I'm kinda in the middle of work right now."
"You don't have to call me back son, just tell me if you and Letoya are coming tomorrow. It's a special service, I'm sure you'd like it." Oh both my parents are preachers Incase i forgot to mention that.
I finally tossed the last body in the water and it made a low slapping sound. "What was that?" She asked.
"Nothing, just the TV. Look ma, i gotta go. I don't know if Toya can make it but I'll be there tomorrow."
"Alright son, see you tomorrow. Love you."
"Love you too."
——
I got into bed two hours later and thought about Toya's party in a few days. I don't know if Ric is going to be there. I want him to, but at the same time i don't. Does that make any sense?
Anyway, Letoya Davies is one of the most beautiful people I've ever known, she's beautiful inside and out. I love her to pieces and I'd do anything for her, but I'm not inlove with her. But she knows that already... I've never loved anyone like that, and 'no strings attached' has always been my sacred rule, i can give you all the dick you want but that's all you're getting.
When Toya and i started hooking up almost two years ago, we had an understanding that we could fuck whoever we wanted as long as we were careful and no feelings were involved. Which is part of why I've been avoiding my best friend. I've been sexually attracted to girls my whole life, i still am. But emotionally I've only ever felt drawn to Ricardo, way before i even understood what that meant.
I honestly don't think I'm gay, or even bi, i won't give a shit if I was, who's gon check me? But the thing is, I've never felt any sort of attraction to any other man, and i don't think I ever will. This is really just a Rico thing.
I must've fallen asleep mid-thought. I woke up and it was still dark. I look over at the clock, 5:15 am, the red glow told me. I had thrown my duvet on the floor and i got out of bed to retrieve it. I looked out at the orange glow of the street outside, there was no noise, no cars passed, and everything was very still. Then something moved down below in the street outside. A dog, I thought. Then I saw him.
Rico moved out of the shadows and stood on the pavement, looking up at my apartment. He had that pensive look in his eyes that he usually got whenever he was trying to decide what to do. I felt my heart ache a little... he's probably going through something and just wanna talk and chill with me like he normally would.
I know I've been an asshole avoiding him and shit, that's a dick move. But I honestly don't know how to be around him right now.
It was one thing when I thought there was no possibility, but now that I do I can't get him out of my head. He's all I think about every fucking minute and it's irritating. I don't know how I'd react if we were in close proximity for too long.
It's taking every ounce of my self control not to go outside and talk to him, but instead I stood still and watched. He finally decided what to do after a while, he turned around, got in his car and drove off. Fuck.
After shooting Mr James a quick text of the location my sources gave me of where his father is, I started to get ready for church. My dad might make me play the drums today.
———————-Tyrone James——————-
Previously...
Right after Tyrone kissed his date goodnight and put him on a lyft he started to walk to his car when he heard sudden movements behind him. He slowed down a little as he carefully pulled out his G45, turning around quickly he pointed the piece at the intruder and started to squeeze the trigger. "Fuck." He cursed when he saw who it was.
Spencer pulled Ty into himself, hugging him tightly. Tyrone hissed and hugged him briefly before pulling away. "What are you doing?" He queried, unsmiling.
"I saw what happened, are you okay?"
"Go home Spencer...you're making this more difficult that it already is."
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay, why are you being like this?" Ty heard the hurt in Spencer's voice and ignored it.
"BECAUSE!" Ty snapped, then paused and cleared his throat, taking a quick relieving breath. "Because it's taking all of my strength to get you out of my system and you're not helping. Go home to your wife."
Ty got into his car and drove off, leaving a stunned Spencer in his wake.
——
That was last week. Now as Tyrone drove in full speed he knew what he had to do, and he knew he needed to do it alone. He had no security, no backup, nothing but his anger and his glock.
He parked in front of the beat up motel after a while. He's dressed in a casual inconspicuous clothing. As he made his way to the room Ringo told him they'd be in, he was surprisingly calmer than he'd even been in his life.
He knocked. While he waited he could hear them arguing, they both slurred their words like they were drunk outta their asses. A moment later the door flung open and Tyrone's gaze locked with that of his father's for the first time since he'd ran him out of town over a decade ago. The moment the old man looked into his son's eyes he knew he was taking his last breath. "You dirty cocksucker! I should've killed you when i..."
Bang Bang! Ty put two bullets between the man's eyes and watched as he dropped to the ground. Gloria rushed out of the bathroom naked to check what was going on, she saw him and started to shake her head frantically. "Please you don't have to do this. Please i can..." Bang!
He turned around and walked to his car, where he called his cleaning crew to handle the mess.
Then he drove off. He finally felt free.
