It’s too early though. After killing Gideon, she was up all day and didn’t sleep again till two in the morning. I had to be up by four to meet the supplier.
“I can’t believe these rich assholes are willing to pay 200% above market price for a gram of coke.” Hernández laughs.
“It’s because these types of people have always had money. Throwing around $200-300 per gram is nothing to them. Which makes them the perfect customers.” I explain. “No matter how much money you have, you can’t cure stress.”
“Did you change your mind about pushing fentanyl?” He asks.
Cocaine is one thing, but fentanyl is too considerable a risk for me to be selling in clubs. Too many overdoses have happened due to their potency. “No, I’d rather keep my customers coming back.” I simply answer.
He groans, “Fine.”
Mom thinks you don’t love her. She’s trying to figure out how to make you love her. This is going to be embarrassing, so don’t laugh at her.
-Prince
I snicker with my hand covering my mouth to suppress it.
I love your mom; I hope you know that. I’ll try not to laugh.
-Kyro
Does she thinkI don’t love her? I haven’t said the words yet, but I feel it. I’m not one to say cheap words. I told her how I felt before she killed Gideon. Does she need me to say cliché words such as ‘I love you?’
I say that, but even so when she told me she loved me. It was as if I had finally felt pure joy and fulfillment. To be loved unconditionally by a woman such as Reyna is the ultimate highlight of my life. I don’t believe I have ever experienced something like this before. I can’t wait to go home to her.
I know you do. Good thing I didn’t get mom’s oblivious genes.
-Prince
I find myself laughing and smiling more than ever since I became a father to Prince. Having a son like Prince is amazing. He’s witty and charming. Doesn’t give me much trouble, but I’ll have to enjoy it for now. Once he’s a teen, I’m sure he’ll give me and Reyna much trouble, but that’s part of being a parent. It’s not always easy.
I wonder what Reyna is up to right now. How does she think she’s going to win my heart? My wife is sly and courageous. I’m sure she’ll think of something fun.
I still need to deal with Rowan. That little fucker. I called the police chief this morning and sent him the video. It got Rowan suspended from work, which drops the case against me for now. Let’s see if he learns from my warning. If not, he’ll be too dead to cause me any more inconvenience.
His wife, on the other hand, is an easy fix. Reyna doesn’t want to speak to her anymore and so it’s up to me to deal with her.
“Keep packing the product.” I shake Hernández’s hand.
I leave the warehouse to meet up with Maeve. The air is chilly for a day in Miami. It doesn’t get cold here in Florida, not like back home in New York. I wonder if we should move back. I miss New York, but after Ivan was killed, I didn’t want to be anywhere near there. I had to leave.
“I’m surprised you didn’t send your wife,” Maeve scoffs, leaning against the outside wall of a bookstore.
I interrupt. “I heard you got fired. It must have been a shock.”
“Came to kick me when I’m down?” She laughs sarcastically.
“No.” I pause, “I found you another position at a better hospital with double the pay.”
Her eyes grew wide. “Why would you do that?”
“Consider this a goodbye present. This is the last time we’ll ever speak again. If I were you, I would also advise your husband to worry about more important things while he is suspended.” That’s the last thing I say to her before I get up.
“Why didn’t you give me a chance to apologize back then?” She shouts.
I stop in my tracks and turn around. “Even if you apologized, would you have ever accepted me and my life? Be honest. Besides, you found someone who you wanted to be with. I’m honestly happy for you, but you and your husband need to keep away from my family.”
She looks at me, saddened by my words, but she nods. I took that as her definitive answer and got back into my car parked on the sidewalk. As I drive back home, I feel as if I’m in a movie. The air feels more breathable, and the sun feels brighter. My wife is waiting for me to get home and I cannot wait to see what she has up her sleeve. When I arrive at the house, it feels as though my heart is erratic. This feels strange.
