“What? He put you out?” Carter questioned. “What was the fight about?”
“I told him about you and me.”
“You did what?”
“I told him about us,” Glenda repeated.
“What did you say to him?”
“I told him about you and me before you went to jail. I’m not stupid enough to tell him what’s going on between us now,” she said, knowing that if she had, that Pe
rry would have confronted Carter and that would not have gone well, especially for Perry.
Carter leaned against the car and exhaled. “You okay?”
“I’m fine, Carter.”
“I’m sorry, Glenda,” Carter said, feeling like he had ruined their marriage.
“I know that you think it is, but this is not your fault, Carter. Me and Perry have been over for years. You know that. I should have left him years ago,” Glenda said and thought back to the days when she was with Carter and she used to talk about leaving Perry all the time. She’d always wondered if Carter hadn’t gone to jail would she had left him then instead of enduring all these years. “You take care of your business and I’ll talk to you later.”
“Wait. Where are you?”
“In the car driving.”
“Where are you going?”
“I don’t know. Get a room, I guess.”
“Call me when you get settled.”
“I will,” Glenda promised, and she ended the call.
Carter got back in the car with Jackie thinking about how ugly that would have gotten if she would have told Perry the whole truth. Despite what Glenda said, he knew that he had a hand in the breakup of their marriage, knew that he had damaged more lives.
“You okay?” Jackie asked.
“Yeah, I’m good,” Carter said, but he was anything but good. He thought about Fantasy and Yarrisa. He was fucking Fantasy for no other reason than she was young and fine, and she threw it at him each time she saw him, made him want it every time he saw her until he fucked her. He was fucking Yarrisa for pretty much the same reason; she made it obvious that in spite of Mileena being her best friend, she was willing to set it out for him and all he had to do was ask.
Carter knew that he needed to be done with both of them. He hadn’t seen or heard from Fantasy in days and he already made up his mind that he wasn’t fucking Yarrisa anymore. What he had with Glenda was different.
Different because unlike Fantasy and Yarrisa, he liked Glenda beyond her sex. They had known each other for years and they had spent time together talking over those years at this or that family function.
Nothing inappropriate until the night it became inappropriate. Now, she had finally left her husband as he had encouraged her to do many times in the past. Back then and currently, his relationship with Mileena was over and they were feeling each other and getting closer, as they are now. Carter being the first person that Glenda called told him that she was thinking about moving on with him as they used to talk about all those years ago.
Chapter Five
“Rona King,” Black said and settled into his chair.
“Like I said, it’s nothing I can prove, but I know,” Rain said definitely. “I know that bitch is behind them niggas. I’m sure of it.”
“That makes sense,” Wanda said.
“What makes you say that?” Black asked.
“I’ve been thinking all along that the level of sophistication and precision that it took to plan the attacks,” she paused. “And the long-term thinking it involved, it had to be somebody other than three corner boys and it had to be a woman.”
“I know, right,” Rain said.
