Page 54 of A Beast Captured My Heart

My mom gasped hard and so did Kayori. She wanted to act ruthless and talk about me like I was nothing, then I was ready to treat her like she was nothing.

“You want to talk high and mighty in this bitch, huh? Like you all sanctified and shit, when I was a young nigga killing, stealing, and doing foul shit, why the fuck you ain’t turn down my bloody money? Shit, didn’t you have bread of your own? What was the reason you kept taking money from your young and ruthless son? Why you ain’t tell me that all that shit was wrong? You ain’t even lead me into the right direction! You basically encouraged me to be in the streets, so if anybody created this monster it’s you!”

“That’s not true and you know it!” her voice shook from anger.

“Kayori knows who the fuck I am, and she love all of me, good and bad! She doesn’t take my shit either. Don’t stand here and disrespect my bitch, Leandra,” I spat her name like it had acid attached to it.

“I need to talk with you, Praise! I am your mother, and you will respect me!”

Shaking my head no, I nodded my head towards the door.

“Get the fuck out my house,” I said lowly with a warning attached to it. Before she could protest, Mattea came running down the hallway.

“Gran Grannnnn!!!” she yelled excitedly with her favorite baby doll in her arms. Taking a seat, I tapped my foot hard on the floor. I felt like a ticking time bomb, looking around for Kayori, I noticed she left out the room. I was just about to go stand and find her when she walked out with a tall glass of Kool-Aid. She had a cautious smile plastered on her face as I shook my head no., I wanted her to get the hint. I didn’t want to take no damn medicine right now I was pissed. One thing I couldn’t take away from Leandra was that she was a good ass grandmother. I couldn’t put her ass out now if I wanted to Mattea lil ass ran me and Praise. She was already tugging at her Gran Gran’s legs, forcing her to follow her to her room to show off her toys and how Kayori redecorated.

A couple of weeks ago, Kayori turned Mattea’s whole room into Frozen, the Disney movie that Mattea’s ass had on repeat at least twice or three times a day. It encouraged her to be a big girl and sleep in her own room instead of coming inside of mine. I loved my mom don’t get it fucked up, but sometimes I hated her ass with a passion. She felt so entitled, wanted to belittle the fuck out of me. I wasn’t having that shit no more. I called her a bitch so she could understand how fucked up she had me. It didn’t feel right and with the look Kayori was giving me, I was going to have to do some sucker ass shit and apologize.

“Take this now Beast, or I’m leaving for the night… I still need to talk to you and that’s gone set you off more with what I have to say.”

“Then leave Juicy! Don’t you see I got my hands full right now? What you want to talk about? Some relationship shit? You want more independency? Working more hours when you know you can’t you at high fuckin risk! Like spit that shit the fuck out! You always want to beat around the fuckin bush and shit.”

Her eyebrows bunched together, and she rolled her eyes hard as fuck.

“I want to talk about who popped up on me today in the locker room while I was getting ready for my mani and pedi! That’s what the fuck I want to talk about, you ignorant ass nigga!”

She yelled as everything stalled inside of me.

“Who the fuck popped up on you Kayori, tell me right fucking now! See what I mean? Yo ass should’ve been just spat it the fuck out! You always try to be on some timid shit!”

Shaking her head she shoved the cup in my hand, causing some of it to spill on my expensive ass robe.

“I said take the fuckin pill or I’m not telling you shit! Mattea and your mom are here and I don’t need you acting out.”

Pinching the bridge of my nose, I snatched the pill out her soft hand and threw it back in my mouth. Biting right into it I swallowed it down dry as I took the second one out her hand and did the same thing. Drinking the sweet Kool-Aid down, I sat there silent for a moment. I was waiting for her to speak.

“Teflon, he came to see me today, Beast.”

I had to laugh to keep from exploding, I could feel the crease in the center of my forehead. Tightening up my fist, I thought of ways to slow torture this dumb ass nigga Michael, the nigga had straight up violated. I tried to let Praise handle that shit so he could accept that we had this shit in us, it’s who the fuck we were. It was overdue, Michael was supposed to been dead. Praise was dragging his feet and thinking too deep into the shit.

“He wasn’t disrespectful, and he did no harm, Beast,” she spoke frantically, pissing me off even more. Trying to take up for him was naive as fuck of her.

“Now ain’t the time to be gullible.”

“He looks bad, cracked out…. Before you go in on security, he came through the back.”

“I don’t give a fuck, Kayori! You mean to tell me that nigga approached you, and you didn’t think to fuckin call me? Are you fuckin stupid?”

I looked at her waiting on her answer, she stood before me looking stupid.

“Beating around the bush! That’s some idiotic shit! I mean, what the fuck, Kayori? That nigga could’ve followed you and did… Man, you’re stupid as fuck! Get the fuck out my face… Yo dumb ass done drugged me up, knowing that shit is gon’ handicap me!”

I was on the edge of the cliff right now and Kayori was about to push me off that bitch. I was ready to kill, and she done drugged a nigga up. Whenever I chewed my medicine up instead of swallowing it, it worked super-fast. Within fifteen minutes, I would be feeling the effects of it.

“He told me that Laquanna wanted him to kidnap me. He wanted me to tell you that he ain’t on no bullshit no more. He just wants to be with y’all mom. He looks sick and needs the help, baby. Everybody needs help sometimes.” Her eyes were pleading with me for understanding, I had none for that pussy ass nigga.

“Get out, Kayori. Go find something to do around the house.”

I felt myself getting sleepy, I should’ve taken one pill. Instead, I took two not thinking. I wanted to desperately run down on Laquanna and Teflon. I needed to put all this shit to an end.
