Page 17 of His Lucky Blessing

I tried to leave the hood shit to Perc but it was certain shit that I had to do. My goal was to hand him the game and be married with kids by thirty. I was a little slow with my goals because obviously the streets shit never ends. I headed towards Perc as I watched my mirrors to make sure no one was following me. I bought a warehouse in downtown to handle business with Perc and the team. Because it was so busy downtown, nobody even noticed anything different when cars were parked outside.

As soon as I used my key to get inside, I could smell the fresh blood. Perc called me to get here to think this shit through but from the smell, he couldn’t wait. Tied to a chair was Perc’s best friend from childhood. I always knew the nigga was the weakest link but I had to step back and wait for Perc to see it.

“Don’t look like you need me. What you want me to do?” I asked.

“This pussy nigga stealing from me bruh. After I made sure he was eating. His mama straight, baby mama straight and everything but he took from me.”

“You know what you gotta do. No need for me to tell you what the fuck gotta happen.”

The fear was set in his friend’s face. He could beg or plead because Perc had his mouth tied so tight that the sides of his mouth had split. I stood there and watched my brother put his gun to his best friend’s head.

“Nigga I loved you. Anything I had, you could have. I’ll make sure your family straight, bitch.” Perc pulled the trigger and watched his friend’s brain matter splatter all over him. The bullet hit him so hard that he fell over in the chair.

“I’ll get someone to come get him out of here. Go in the bathroom and clean yourself up and change your clothes. Make sure to get rid of that shit you got on. Did you tussle with him or anything? I don’t want DNA coming up if they find his body.”

“Nah, I lured him here and hit him in the head as soon as he walked in the door. I should be good.”

“Aight. This how shit go down. Even your friends turn on you. You good?”

“I’m straight,” he looked at me with a straight face.

I made sure everything was in place. The roses were placed along the walkway. The music was flowing and the candles were lit. Blessyn was on her way and I was so ready to see her. I missed talking to her and just seeing her. I didn’t want her to think I was being clingy by constantly calling her just to hear her voice. A part of me was thankful that work took over. It gave me time to try and get her off my mind. I looked at my watch to see thetime. I could see the lights of Blessyn’s car pulling up. I stood to the door waiting on her.

“What is this?” She asked I handed her a single long stem rose.

“I don’t want you asking any questions. I told you the next date was on me. Come in.” I pushed my door open and let her walk in. I had a chef come and cook us a nice meal. I just told him to give us something light but filling.

“You did all this for me?” Blessyn blushed.

“Why not? All you do is work and stand up on your feet, which by the way did you get them shoes I bought you?”

“I did and thank you for that.”

“Of course. You can follow me so we can eat.”

I served her first and poured her favorite wine. I paid attention while we were at that expensive restaurant. Once I got my plate, I sat down across from her just admiring how beautiful she was. Funny how this attraction all started from a one-night stand and now she was all I could think about.

“Have you done anything besides working?” I sparked up a conversation.

“No that’s all I’ve been doing. Been thinking about taking a vacation but don’t know where. Never really been anywhere besides the beaches in Florida before it was back to work.”

“You definitely need to do that. I can make that happen for you.”

“Is this your place?”

“Who else place would it be? This is one of many that I have. Depending on how I’m feeling is depends on where I stay most nights. I enjoy being out here because it’s quiet. This is my main house.”

“So, I’m special enough to come to the main house.”

“Don’t be funny. Only two women been here and you are the second. The first one was my mother.”

She gave me a funny look but I was serious. I fucked the other women at my other crib. This was my peaceful place. It was scared to me and special. Blessyn was special so I wanted to share it with her. If I bought them other hoes here, they would’ve wanted to be wifed.

“If you’re finished eating, we can move into the sitting area.”

“It was hard to eat while you’re sitting across from me with your chest all out.”

“My bad. I rarely wear clothes when I’m home. The only reason I got these shorts on, is ‘cause I didn’t want to scare you with this dick so I threw these shorts on.”
