Chapter twelve

After the party I was so pissed and annoyed. Not to mention Lauren has been blowing me up. Thanks to that little showdown I was spotted. Clearly Maleah could feel my irritation because she was awfully quiet. Sitting in the chair she sat on the bed. "I'm sorry I got you into this mess." Leah said now looking at me regretful. I just sat there eyes on the tv. "I'm being honest Cain. I appreciate you for everything. I know I'm not your favorite person in the world right now. I just want us to go back to the old times. I feel so embarrassed and ashamed. I don't blame you for how you view me now. My past is catching up to me and now it's haunting me. I just wish before all of this happened I would of told you how much I love you. Only because now I feel like you don't believe me. What you said was only right you deserve to know the truth. Before I left Omar like I told you I took something. I didn't have shit Cain NOTHING! Everything and anything I owned was Omar's. One night was my final straw he had beat me so fucking bad. Then he raped me in my ass. I felt so disgusted and hurt. The next day when he left I went to his office. Went to his safe and opened it. I took all the money, his drugs, and this nice ass ring. Months later I didn't hear from him. Then I later found out he got shot and was in the hospital. Once he recovered he contacted me and threatened to find me. I thought he was bullshitting but it was stupid of me to think that considering who his family is. So he did and the visit wasn't pleasant at all to say the least. As much money as I took he wasn't even worried about that, all he kept asking me for was the ring I took. I didn't tell him nothing he wanted to hear and that set him off. Since then he's been stalking me and threatening to kill me over it. I stashed the money and the ring in one of my safe boxes at the bank. This man put me through hell and for him to think I'll just walk away with nothing is kind of hilarious." She said being completely honest. "Why you just don't give him the shit back?" I asked. "If I don't then his ass the one whose really on the chopping block." She said. "Okay explain how that is." I said. "When he recently visited me he told me that the ring belonged to his cousin. Omar's cousin hide a lot of shit at his house. I don't know who it belongs to but that family has this big obsession over it or something it's weird. His cousin Gino had to hide it from his dad Giovanni. So I'm thinking I'll keep it and let his ass get popped." She said with a lot of aggression. "This shit sound crazy as hell and stupid. I mean if you think it'll work what choice do we have?" I said slightly still annoyed. "It'll work trust me a few people have already died behind it. It's a nice ass ring it's so beautiful I just don't see what all the hype is about though." Leah said with a shrug. I was taking in everything Leah told me as my phone rung again. Maleah looks at me and then to my phone. "Who is that your phone been going off for a minute now?" She asked. "It's my folks probably worried about me." I lied. "Your ass lying you know I know you lying right?" She said. "You don't know shit don't start that shit Leah." I said trying to change the subject. Later that day Maleah talked to her cousin and told me she was going to visit her for a while. I was relieved because I needed out of this shit like now. We enjoyed a nice meal as we watched tv together. Then my phone ring it's Jordan. "Yo." I answer. I already knew this phone call was in the making. "Bruh what the fuck was that all about last night?" He asked. "I swear you don't want to know. Since you being all noisy and shit that was Maleah ex Omar." I said as Leah looked at me with a frown. I don't give not one fuck the nigga was her ex. "That shit was wild I'm glad my girl stepped in that nigga screwed in the head." He said laughing. "You stupid but what's up you enjoyed yourself?" I asked him. "Most definitely check this out though. I been meaning to tell you I signed this contract and I'm taking a business trip in a week. You should probably roll with me you need a break and a little vacay." He said. "Bruh what congratulations I'm so happy for you that's a good look and, I most definitely need to hop on that for sure." I said loving the idea of a vacation. "Say no more you know I got you fam. Only my girl said Maleah can't come. Omar is her family and she think that'll be awkward and don't need the vibes all fucked up and shit." He explained. "Respect I got you though just keep me posted." I said as we hung up. Maleah looks at me itching for information. "What?" I asked. "Who was that Jordan?" She asked. Damn she all in my business. "Yeah he said he enjoyed his party and wanted to know about what happened. Just the normal black folks shit trying to be noisy." I said. "Oh damn I guess. Thanks for not telling him shit." She said. "You know Angelic?" I asked her. The way she looked at me confirmed she did. Rolling her eyes she mugged. "Yeah but that bitch ain't my friend. She's the fakest bitch I know. Her and her family evil as fuck and if I was you I'll tell Jordan to watch her closely." She said.
