Jayceon -

Mama had convinced me to leave that motel and to come stay with her. Here I was back in my old bedroom. I felt like a teenager again. My Tupac and Michael Jackson poster was still hanging on the wall. Everything was pretty much the same except for the bed lining. Mama had put clean lining on it and I bought a few extra pillows.

After rolling two joints, I went to check on mama. She was on the couch sleeping with her bible in her hand. I turned the tv off, and placed the Bible on the table. I grabbed the blanket from behind the couch and placed it over her then I kissed her forehead.

I stepped outside and lit my blunt. While Sitting down on the pouch, I pulled out my phone and tapped the Spotify App. I turned on one of my playlist and started thinking. I was so deep into my thoughts that I had finished one blunt and was on the next one. Amber had sent me a text, instead of replying I called her.

"What you doing up girl?" I asked with a huge smile on my face. I don't know why but whenever I talked to Amber it brightened my day. Whatever I was feeling went away. I felt like shit, she was a good woman and I had broken her heart.

I disrespected our relationship and fucked up her the trust that we once had. I knew if we planned on moving forward it would be hard for her to trust me, but I was willing to do right by her and Harlem. I was going to get my shit together and be the man that she needed me to be. No woman wanted a man who couldn't remain faithful.

Hearing the pain in my mama voice when she talked about how my daddy did her was like looking in the mirror. She was damn near reading me like a book. When we first met, I tested Amber. One night I was at the club, she had told me she was just going somewhere with her homegirl and she'd be back home soon.

I was blowing up here phone calling her like crazy. She didn't even know that I was standing on the other side of the club watching her. So I stepped out and called her home girl phone. Her home girl answered and she was about to lie to me, but they was so drunk her girl had the phone on speaker and they didn't know I was still on the line.

I heard her ask her friend what I was calling for. When her friend told her she said call him back and tell him the truth I don't ever wanna lie to Jayce, I'm going to always be honest, you the one dragged me out here in the first place.

I smiled and hung up cause she kept her word she never lied to me. Amber had always been honest. About everything, and I couldn't even be faithful. I was ashamed of myself. I was gone man up and get on my job cause I'd be damned if another nigga think he gone come in and take what was mine.

"I was just thinking about you, I wanted to make sure you were alright, plus I couldn't sleep, Harlem's legs are in my damn back," She said in a sexy sleepy voice.

I chuckled. "I was just thinking about you too baby," I said honestly.

"So I have a doctor's appointment in the morning and then I'm going to the school to get some things from my office, I'm wrecking my brain in this house doing anything because I'm so bored," she laughed.

"I'll be there for the doctors appointment but then I gotta make a run, but after my errand I'm free, you wanna go out to eat?" I asked.

"Sure I don't mind," she replied.

"Alright then we'll I'll see you in the morning baby doll," I said back.

"Okay daddy I'll see you in the morning," she said causing me to grin wide. We told each we loved one another and then we hung up. I finished my blunt and then went inside. After showering, I put my phone on charge and fell asleep with the boondocks playing on the TV.

Jayceon -

After the doctors appointment I met up with Krista at the hospital. I didn't have two words for the bitch I just wanted to get it over with. I gave them a mouth swab and waited in the waiting room. Krista came and sat by me, I got up moving to the other side of the room.

"Really Jayceon?" She laughed as she closed the magazine she was skimming through.

"Really what?" I asked annoyed by her presence.

"Don't act like the time we shared meant nothing to you, I mean it had to mean something you came back for more," she grinned but I waved her off.

"Please bitch don't flatter yourself, you ain't even know how to fuck right I had to show your simple minded has how to give head cause you couldn't do it remember, we only fucked twice, but that's cause I had a itch I needed scratching and apparently you didn't get it for me cause once I was done with you I moved on to the next hoe," I said clicking on the Instagram app not once looking up at her.

"I'm sure your wife would love to know about all this once I tell -

"Too late she knows already bitch cause I told her cause I knew your scandalous ass would try to run and tell her just like you wanted to run and tell her years ago when I cut your ass off, you're a bird bitch," I said angrily.

"Fuck you," she spat.

"We already played that game next," I laughed.

"You are so fucking arrogant,"

"Whatever, I don't want shit to do with you, All I'm here for is to make sure he's mine, If he is my son I'll man up and take care of my responsibilities, but if he's not you better lose my number or disappear," I said scrolling through my iPhone.

"Who do you think you are giving me an ultimatum?" She asked as she shifted in her seat.

Just then I got several text messages from Kendrick. My dawg always came through for me when I needed him. Opening the text I Laughed.

"The nigga that can end your fucking career how you trying to end my life but it ain't gone work," I smirked. Kendrick sent me several picture messages if information that I needed. He had been dating this chick who was good with hacking computers.

He told me not to worry about Krista because he would get all the dirt on her that I needed. Like always my boy came through. I ain't even have to stay, cause the kid wasn't mine. He was Principal Lewis's.

Apparently, Principal Lewis and Krista had spent a night together, and she got pregnant. He told her to abort it because he couldn't tell his wife. Krista threatened to come out with the secret, so to keep her quiet he started paying her.

He'd been paying her every since she became an officer. Other officers found out and they soon became on his payroll as well.

The money he was using to pay them off belonged to the school. No wonder why he was withdrawing large sums of money. Once he realized he couldn't pay to keep them quiet he started dipping into the school funds.

Kendrick had sent me a copy of Principal Lewis's bank statements. I wasn't shocked at all. This seemed like something she'd do. When they found out they had something in common, they tried to plot together but of course that shit didn't work.

"How can you possibly think you can end my career," she laughed.

"How you think the city gone react when they find out that the entire police department is being paid the same money that was supposed to be for all the programs that got budget cuts all because you couldn't keep your fucking legs closed," I smirked. Her jaw dropped and she glared at me. I laughed getting up. I tried to walk away and she grabbed my arm.

"Jayceon please,"

"Don't trip long as you stay the fuck away from me and my family I ain't got shit to say to nobody, lose my number," and with that I walked away leaving her standing there looking dumb founded.

****

After dinner me and Amber went to go see It Chapter Two. The movie was good but Amber ass was scared. She always wanted to go see something scary knowing she was a scaredy cat. I passed on teasing her, I just let her burry her head in my shirt. I loved being close to her, I didn't want the moment to end.

On the way home it was quiet. I didn't say anything because I didn't know what to say and I didn't want to say the wrong thing. I didn't have to say anything else because Amber finally broke the silence.

"Baby I had a really good time tonight and I appreciate you for taking me out," She said as she grabbed my hand and held it.

"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself baby doll, I had a good time too," I said back smiling. She took her hand loose and ran her fingers through my hair.

"I love you so much Jayceon, my pride wouldn't let me ask you, but baby can you please come back home, we can't work on things if we're separated, my girls would trip if they knew I took you back but fuck them. Everyday My love for you grows deeper and deeper. I can't stay mad at you for long, and you know that, I think that's why you be doing what you be doing cause you know I'm not going no where," she said and I laughed.

"Lord knows I miss being home babe, I can't take another on my old mattress," I said honestly before laughing. I pulled into our driveway and cut the engine. I grabbed my weed out the glove compartment, and my blunt out the arm rest. I rolled up and She laughed grabbing my chin playing with my beard.

"What's so funny?" I asked as I started breaking down my wood.

"You still getting high and still getting on my nerves I see," She said as we laughed.

"Girl shut up," I laughed as I licked the wood. I put the weed in and rolled it up.

"Baby don't take long okay, once I shower I wanna cuddle okay,"

"Okay soon as I finish smoking I'll be right up," I said back.

"Okay," She replied. I leaned in for a kiss and she kissed me back. Our pecks soon turned into a make out session. I reached over and grabbed her breast and she moaned and laughed.

"Baby hurry up and smoke your blunt so you can fuck me," she said in that cute sexy pout.

"Iight don't be rushing me girl," I smirked.

"Forget you," she laughed opening the door and getting out. I rolled the window down.

"I love you," she shouted before going to the door.

"I love you too," I shouted back. Once she was in the house. I sparked the blunt. I turned on the car radio and I got in tune. As inhaled and exhaled, I looked in the mirror. I had seen a red impala drive down the block. My high ass didn't pay it much attention. I just leaned back and continued smoking my dope.

Tupac's California Love came on and I turned it up. I was so into the song and into the blunt that I ain't even see the red impala spend the block again it was until I heard a car screech that I saw the driver roll the window down.

Shots began going off. A few of them came crashing through my back window shattering the glass. I ducked down instantly pulling my piece from under the seat. I turned around and tried to shoot back but I didn't see the car it had disappeared.

Breathing hard, I waited a while before getting out. Letting up the window and taking the key out the ignition. I slammed the door and locked it. No soon as I turned around shots rang off again. The armed gunman had hidden somewhere, and came out of nowhere. Sending two bullets in my back. I fell down yelling out in pain. I reached for my pistol sending off shots there way.

POP! POP! POP!

They did the same sending shot after shot. I was in so much pain I couldn't find cover. The person came up closer. My heart beating fast, I swear I saw my life flash before me. She took off her mask and smirked.

I looked up at Krista aiming her gun. I let off a few shots but she ducked and sent shots back my way. She got my chest, and my shoulder. Pain rippled through my body as I tried to get up.

"You know way too much information, I don't trust you enough to let you live with this information. I can't risk you having the upper hand and threatening to end my career, I've worked way too hard for you to try and take away from me the only thing I have, say your last prayers," she smirked. That was all she said before she let off shots, Jayceon tried his hardest to call out for Amber but she was in the shower, with her speakers blasting she couldn't hear anything.

As she continued to wash her body and sing along to the song that was playing, Jayceon took one more bullet to the chest killing him instantly. After sending off the last shot Krista dipped off into the night, with the sounds of ambulance sirens approaching.
