“This is what you wanted anyway. Talking about you didn’t know I was here. Shorty, you knew I was here because I’m sure you got the alert on your phone when I came home earlier. Why you can’t just be honest and say that you slid over here to get some dick. Why else would you have come without Maya?” I asked.
She laughed as she buried her face in the crook of my neck, hiding in embarrassment. When it came to my girl, I knew her every fuckin’ move. I knew the way Shae thought; therefore, I knew that her deciding to come home tonight was strictly for dick, and I couldn’t even be mad at her.
“For your information, I went to check on Mahogany and the baby a couple of hours ago. When I was there, I saw on the camera from my phone that you came home. I needed more clothes, and I wanted to see Taniya. I saw on the camera in the kitchen that you were about to roll up, and that’s when I wanted some dick. That dope dick always gets me right. I missed you,” she finally let me know, although I knew that already. Her missing me was the cause for all of that fuckin’ attitude that she constantly had these days.
“Yeah, whatever. Tell me anything. How is your girl doing? I talked to Bari on the phone yesterday, and he told me that she’s not taking to motherhood too well,” I said as I laid her down on the bed and I spooned her from behind.
I could feel my eyes getting low, so probably right after this conversation, I would call it a night. I knew for a fact that I was going to sleep like a baby tonight. This would be the first night in weeks that I fell asleep next to Shae. I had one arm protectively wrapped around her waist as if I was holding onto her and our child for dear life as the other one rested above her head on the pillow that she was lying on. After I asked my question about Mahogany, I heard her release a sigh.
“She’s coping. Motherhood is hard, you know. They just found out from the baby’s pediatrician that she has colic, so if anything, the constant crying and the lack of sleep is what’s driving Mahogany crazy. She’ll be fine, though. Us women were born to handle stuff like this,” Shae said.
Although she couldn’t see me, I nodded. I was about to drift off to sleep, but her next question prevented that from happening.
“Why did you bring Taniya home on a Thursday? Something had to have happened for you to do that, especially since there isn’t a break from school right now. What happened when you went down there?” Shae asked the question that I was really hoping she wouldn’t ask because I didn’t want to get into detail about the shit that transpired down in L.A.
My eyes were still closed, and I was still holding her like I was about to call it a night, but I knew that I wouldn’t get any type of sleep until I told her what had gone down at Tahira’s place.
“Like I told you in the car, her boyfriend had put his hands on her. Lip was busted, eye was black and blue, scratches were on her and shit. I didn’t even go down there to start no shit, shorty. I just wanted to look her nigga in his eyes and tell him that he couldn’t be around my daughter. Now that I see that he has a problem with not knowing how to keep his hands to himself, I also put a bug in his hear, telling him that he better never in his fuckin’ life but his hands on my child.
“That motha fucka going to tell me that him and Tahira trying to get married, which makes Niya his stepdaughter, so if he ever has to discipline her, then he will. I didn’t even let his pussy ass finish the sentence before I punched his teeth out of his fuckin’ mouth. I took Niya because she had already seen enough.
“On some real shit, I’m thinking about going to court for full custody. I know Tahira is gonna try me and still have that nigga around my daughter. To prevent myself from going to jail for killing that nigga with my bare hands, I feel it’s only right that I go in for full custody,” I said, telling her what had been on my mind since I brought Taniya back home with me. It wasn’t even for me to be spiteful toward Tahira either. I just got weird vibes from her nigga, and I was dead ass fuckin’ serious when I said that nigga couldn’t be around my child.
“Whatever you decide to do, I’m going to support you. I love Taniya like she’s my own,” she told me.
I already knew that. That was another thing that had me falling more in love with shorty; the fact that she could love my child as if she was the one who had given birth to her.
“I’m happy you’re home, baby. You got plenty of dick to ride to make up for the days that you missed out on,” I let her know.
I heard her laugh, and then she turned around in my arms and pulled the covers back.
“I can start right now,” she cooed and got on top of me.
Suddenly, sleep was the last thing on my mind. It was about time that I put a ring on this woman’s finger. Not because she had good pussy, but simply because what the fuck was I waiting on? I knew for a fact that not another woman in this world could even compare to Shae. She was a beast in the mothering department, she was a classy ass woman, who I didn’t mind raising my daughter and raising whatever we were having that was baking in her stomach. I had no doubt that she loved a nigga, so what was I waiting for? It was time. Hell, it’s been time, and I was just dragging my damn feet.
Giovonni “Trip” Young
It was almost seven in the evening, and all the inmates, including myself, were back in our cells. We wouldn’t be allowed to come back out until first thing tomorrow morning. The biggest smile was on my face as I paced the floor. I even got so fuckin’ happy that I kissed the fuckin’ walls inside my cell. If everything went as planned, this would be my last couple of moments inside this little ass fuckin’ room.
After weeks of preparing, coming up with plans, blueprints, and different scenarios of what could possibly go wrong if today’s events didn’t go as planned, Raynell and I were finally about to make this escape shit happen. I was nervous than a motha fucka, but my eagerness to get the fuck out of here outweighed my nerves.
I was the most excited to go down to my son’s grave and have a conversation with him since I was robbed of that opportunity. It still pained a nigga that I never got the chance to go to my own fuckin’ son’s funeral. It was a big risk, especially if Raynell and I got caught, but I didn’t know when I would ever get a chance to go and see him again, so it was a risk that I was just going to take.
Raynell and I didn’t even know where the fuck we were going once we escaped. We just knew that we were getting far the fuck away! I couldn’t even fix my lips to say that I didn’t love that girl. I didn’t think that any other woman would have taken a chance with their freedom, let alone their fuckin’ life to do some shit like this with me. If this shit went smoothly, I swear I owed shorty my life, and I would never bring Jashae up again.
Minutes kept going by, and I noticed that Raynell wasn’t walking the floors yet. If she did anything right at this fuckin’ job, her ass was always on fuckin’ time. Me and every nigga in there always knew when she got to work because we knew her scent. Shorty had a real vibrant scent to her, and as I paced the floors and constantly went over to the cell gate, I still didn’t see her. I was getting antsy because we had talked through text this morning, and she didn’t say anything that would lead me to believe that she wasn’t going to show up tonight. Hell, she knew the importance of today just like I did.
As I paced, all I could do was hope that she didn’t get cold feet on a nigga. One of the other young correctional officers, whose name was Officer Martin, was walking by, so I got his attention. He was cool. I wanted to say he was in his early twenties, and he didn’t take his job all fuckin’ serious like a lot of these other correctional officers did. He had just transferred here about a month or two ago, and it was weird seeing him on the night shift because he usually worked the morning shift.
“Officer Martin. They got you working graveyard?” I questioned.
“Yeah, man. I was called in about an hour ago. I don’t know how true it is, but they said that officer Raynell resigned this afternoon. That shit is crazy as fuck because she was actually one of the ones who did what the fuck she was supposed to do around here. I don’t know if that shit is true, though. You good?” he asked me, but I didn’t respond.
With what felt like the weight of the fuckin’ world on my shoulders, I walked over to my bunk. I swear it felt like my whole body had gone numb, and like my head was spinning. For fuckin’ months, I sat up late night on the phone with this stupid ass bitch planning out this day, only for her to fuckin’ bail on me. What was so fucked up about it was the fact that I just talked to her ass this fuckin’ morning, and she never said anything that would make me think that she wasn’t going to come through.
/>
I drew up fuckin’ blueprints of the way we were going to get the fuck up out of here. This has been the topic of fuckin’ discussion for a little minute now. Her stupid ass knew what this meant to me. She knew that with my life sentence, I wasn’t even ordered parole. If we didn’t do what we were supposed to do, then I would never have a chance to get the fuck up out of here.
