HEZEKIAH

CHAPTER III : The Tattoo!

'Somebody help', I screamed.
The man pointed the gun at me from the old lady.
I was shaken. Scared. Insecure.
I clenched my fists so hard. I'm upset
But there is nothing I could do at this point.
I heard a crispy sound and I opened my eyes. He was walking towards me real slowly.
I froze. This is the end. I wish I could have told Tristan how much I loved him.
As he came closer, his tattoos were more visible. He stood right in front of me and dropped the gun to the floor.
'Dont hurt me', I whispered.
He smirked and took his vest off. Revealing a huge dark scar running from his lower chest to his naval. He must have been hurt.
Little did I notice that I reached out and touched the genesis of his scar. I trailed it down with my index finger to where it ended and looked up to him.
'Can you help me scratch my back?', he finally spoke as he gave me his back.
The first thing I noticed was, his broad shoulders carried the largest tattoo his upper body had. Hezekiah. His name was Hezekiah.
This was the weirdest thing I've ever seen. A man walks into a store , pointing a gun at two people, only to have his back scratched ? Wow. The world has more psychopaths than I ever imagined.
I gently and smoothly scratched his back while giving his a shoulders a little unprofessional message.
I continued till I found a rhythm and his tensed shoulders fell into relaxation. I slowly moved my hands down till I settled them on his back pack and massaged it gently. I continued to do this and soon enough I heard him groan and sigh into relaxation.
I looked at his back from his shoulder blades down to his ass crack. He is black. He is beautiful. He is buff.
I stared at his back and and paused. Memories flashed of how I used to do this to Katlego.
Katlego loved the way I'd scratch, massage and play with his back till his itch was satisfied. While I was lost in thoughts, this tall huge buff black man that gave me his back suddenly turned. I quickly snapped back into reality and realized that I could lose my life any second now.
' Thank you', he said sheepishly.
I froze then smiled after a second or two.
' I got you', I said trembling.
He picked up his vest from the floor and quickly wore it while still facing me. He turned to walk away.
' Excuse me? You forgot your ... Um ... guu .. gun', I said with so much fear as I bent down to pick it up with intentions of handing it over to him.
He stood and laughed.
'Keep it!', he yelled.
'Its a token of appreciation for scratching my back', he said without turning to face me.
How rude. How disrespectful. I was becoming hot with anger.
'Dont you dare not accept it', he said with a straight tone.
I quickly opened my bag while trembling and packed the gun.
He then proceeded to head out of the shop as his body guards followed behind him. He never turned. He just went forward.
' Do you know him? Is he your boyfriend?', a tiny voice asked.
I turned and noticed the old lady who had earlier on been pointed the gun at. She was leaning on the counter still shaken and confused.
I giggled, ' No ma, I don't even know him.'
I felt guilty and looked around the shop. I realised everyone was looking at me and this made the place get hotter.
I quickly rushed to the till and paid for my soda and off I went. I was walking but yet unaware of my environment.
Who is that guy? Where is he from? Why do I feel like I know him?
I was more concerned with who he was unlike what I'd do with the gun.
Why would he enter a shop with a gun and not Rob anyone? Not hurt anyone?  So much for a back scratch I thought.
The next thing I heard was a thud. Someone bumped my shoulder and I fell to the ground. I lifted my head and saw a skinny good looking man.
' I'm... I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to...' he said as he helped me get up.
' Its ok. Do I know you from somewhere?' I asked.
He grinned his face and nodded his head in disapproval
' Sorry..', I laughed funnily as he grinned at me weirdly.
I hurriedly walked past him and started jogging my way home.
I didn't stop jogging till I reached my door step. Little did I know there was something waiting for me at home ....
