Southside

Chapter 23

Ghost

The cold night air caused goosebumps to form on my skin. I adjusted the hat on my head and made sure that my gun was secured. I slowly made my way upstairs and knocked on the door of apartment 216.

It didn't take long for her to come to the door. I looked her over as she stood before me in a pink satin bath robe and a pink lingerie set to match.

"Hey baby," said Denise as she opened the door and welcomed me in.

I wasn't really fazed by what she wore nor was I into her like that. I had to play along to get what I wanted out of her.

"Wassup with you," I asked as I took a seat on her couch.

"Nothing but I have missed you. We haven't talked since we met for dinner, but I'm happy you called...so what's up?"

I watched as she sat next to me and turned her body to face me. Her robe opened a little so I got a better view of her lingerie set and I couldn't lie she looked good.

"Me and Dutchess got into a huge fight and broke up. We fought because I told her I still had feelings for an old fling and she wasn't feeling that," I said while rubbing her leg.

"Oh that's so sad to hear but I can make you feel better," she said as she began kissing on my neck.

She began rubbing me through my pants as she slowly straddled my lap. She kissed me slowly as she began grinding against my lap.

"I know you remember all the fun we use to have. How we use to sneak behind Tia's back and all. Granted she is my best friend but who really cared," she whispered.

"Let's go to your room," I whispered in her ear.

"Okay baby," she responded back.

We got up and I followed behind her once we were in her room I pushed her against the wall and got behind her.

"Ohh yess Ghost you know I like it when you take charge," she moaned out.

I quickly removed my gun and held it to her head.

"Baby what's going on..." she stammered.

"Shut that shit up. Your ass been running your mouth and telling bitches about Dutchess's real identity. You got hoes stepping to my girl thinking they can threaten her. You work for me... I don't work for you and your dumbass almost ruined the plan. Now you have to answer my questions or I can shoot you. I've already been given the clear to kill your ass so don't try no funny shit," I sneered in her ear.

"Okay...okay what do you want to know," she said.

"Why did you tell that bitch about Dutchess?"

"I was mad that you didn't want me anymore. You know we never fall in love with the people we are sent to protect. Plus I thought me doing this will help you see I'm really down for you. I'm in love with you Ghost and that bitch doesn't care for you like I do. She was an obstacle and I needed to take her down. Moni is an old friend of mine and she was venting to me about how Dutchess ruined the family dinner and how she has been nothing but trouble since she's been here. So I decided to tell her who she really was in order to get her out the picture. We belong together and you know that. We could real life be like Bonnie and Clyde," she said.

"Your dumbass don't listen. I don't want you, what we had was casual and you know that. I was with your homegirl first before you decided to pursue me. I was honest and upfront with you from the beginning. I don't love you Denise and I never will. You know what's up so why you tripping."

"Because I knew you had the potential to fall for me once you got to know me. What does that bitch have that I don't? I have always been down for you Ghost and you hurt me. Moni won't tell anyone about who she really is. She only did that to scare her," she responded back.
