A few days after all that shit that happened that night i needed to relieve some stress, what better way to do that then to get a new tattoo. I text Eli before I head to the shop and tell her about what I'm getting. Still no response, it's been almost a week and still nothing, I'm getting kinda worried but she's posting on her Instagram and Snapchat so I guess everything is ok.
I head to the shop and meet up with my artist David
"Ayyye what's good Jay!"
"What's good bruh"
"What you trying to do today?"
"I'm thinking of getting my whole chest done"
"Shiiiit, what's wrong with you"
"Honestly bro it's been some shit, I'll tell you while you blast me up"
"I got you, what you getting"
"I'll show you"
I show him a picture of a whole Aztec piece with the Aztec God of Death
"That shits crazy"
"Yeah it's for my son"
"Oh yeah you named your son after him, that's pretty bad ass"
"Right"
He print up the stencil and soon we're getting started
"Alright so what's been up"
"Man tell me why Eli's dad and one of his partners named Ms Parker invited me to a party the other night at her club"
"What club?"
"Shiit I don't know but it ended being a strip club, then the bartender started saying shit like all the strippers and the bartenders are being used for sex trafficking"
"Oh shit for real"
"Yeah, I called bullshit she probably just hates the boss"
"I don't know bro, that sex trafficking shit is real"
"I know it is but this didn't look like it, the stripper that came up to me obviously tried to fuck me on her own free will"
David laughs
"Did you clap?"
"Fuuuuck no, first off Eli was way hotter than that girl and second Eli would fuck me up"
"Yeah she definitely would beat your ass"
"Thanks bruh, I knew I could count on you to back me up"
"I'm just saying, you see how buff she is to go along with that Latina attitude, you're definitely getting fucked up"
"Whatever man"
"Ayyye but on some real shit… what if that girl was really telling the truth"
"I don't think so, those people don't seem like the type to do shit like that"
"Looks can be deceiving foo"
"Then Ms Parker broke into my house"
"How the fuck she get in!?!"
"I have no fucking clue, but she offered me a job then tried to fuck me when I said no to try and convince me"
"Oh shit, what did you do"
"…. Threw a fucking orange at her"
"Get the fuck outta here!"
"Dead ass… she left right after but she said the job offer will always be on the table"
"That's crazy"
"Also it's like Eli is ignoring me, i try to call and text her but she doesn't respond, but she's posting on social media."
"Hmmm well she is on vacation"
"Yeah but still she can at least respond to me, I'm still her boyfriend and the father to our child"
"I don't know bruh, when does she get back"
"Shiiit her dad said probably next Thursday"
"Damn, well hopefully it goes by fast"
Several hours go by and David is finishing up
"And we're done, take a look"
"Shiiiiiit that's clean, thanks bruh"
I hand him a couple thousand dollars and head home. When I get home the door is open, even though I know I locked up when I left. I go to the back of my car and pull out my gun and head inside. Everything looks fine but something doesn't seem right. I look around the whole house and find nothing, I check every room and there's nothing. I head to the basement and hear someone talking.
"Yeah he's not here"
After i see he hangs up the phone I walk behind him and put the gun to the back of his head
"Who the fuck are you?!?"
He puts his hands up and turns around, he's wearing a ski mask but I can still see the fear in his eyes as I press the barrel to his forehead.
"You better talk before I pull this fucking trigger and I'll get away with this shit too, self defense"
"Easy…. I don't want any trouble"
"Yeah well you should've thought about that before you broke into my house"
I rip off his ski mask and see it's the same guy from the meeting who I took down.
I laugh and press the gun to his head again
"Ohhhh it's you… better start talking"
"You wouldn't kill me would you?"
"You wouldn't be the first person I've killed… someone once told me it only gets easier and easier to kill someone after you've done it once"
"No please I was just here to intimidate you after you embarrassed me at the meeting"
"Who the fuck were you talking to on the phone then"
"My boss, he gave the ok for me to do it"
"I guess your boss really doesn't care if you live or die it seems"
I rack back the slide, seeing the fear in his eyes and pull the trigger. A click, the gun is empty
"You're lucky I'm a nice guy"
He opens his eyes
"Now tell me why would you even try to attack Reyes in the first place"
"Me and my boss don't agree with how he runs things, we tried to intimidate him but you were there to stop it"
"Good thing I was"
"But you don't understand…"
"Naw you don't understand"
I take out a mag and put it into the gun and rack it
"Now it's really loaded, get the fuck outta my house and don't ever come back, whatever business you have with Reyes keep it with him. You ever come back and my family is here…. I will put a bullet in your fucking head… understand"
"Yes I promise!"
I slap him in the back of the head
"Now get the fuck outta here, ugly ass mother fucker"
He runs up the steps and runs out the front door, nearly getting hit by a passing car as he gets in his car and speeds off. What the fuck is even happening with my life this week.
