Page 29 of His Lucky Blessing

“Cover his mouth so he won’t wake my girl up.”

Will was stripped down to his birthday suit. While one of my boys held his dick with a metal clamp. With a swift move, I cut his dick off. His screams were muffled but not enough.

“Shut him the fuck up!” I told them.

They didn’t have to because he passed out. But I wasn’t done. I took my time and cut off both of his hands. He managed to wake up, but his body had loss so much blood that he was in shock. Shooting him would’ve been too easy. I wanted him to bleed out which would only take about thirteen minutes. It was going on ten minutes. We watched as the blood poured and his body shook violently. Sweat was pouring down his face almost looking like tears. When his breathing started slowing down, I knew he was nearing his death. It was beautiful to watch. Knowing that Blessyn was safe, I was able to sleep at night.

“Clean this shit up and take him to no man’s land.”

“Bet,” they both responded.

I met Will a few years ago at a mixer event for new entrepreneurs in the city. We were both new to the scene of business and wanted to invest in our community. We couldn’t get any of the others to join in with us, so we exchanged numbers and kept in touch. I found out about his obsession one night we had dinner and he brought a young chick with him. She was beautiful but didn’t look like she was as interested him as he wasin her. I knew then he was being a paymaster. We met a few more times and he was acting nervous. Being from the streets, I knew what the behavior was of someone that had just caught their first body.

He admitted to me that he killed the girl. Because I thought about the women in my family, I told him to turn himself in and I connected him with a public defender because his money wasn’t long enough to get a lawyer, and I didn’t know him well enough to pay for it. I thought for sure his ass was going to get convicted. He went to fucking the public defender so good the hoe lost her mind over the dick and got the case thrown out. After that, I went in business with him, but I never invited him anywhere around women. Tonight, was different. I thought the shit was done and over with. The way he looked at Blessyn let me know I had to kill him for the girl that he killed a few years ago. I didn’t want the same shit to happen to any other black woman.

I entered the room, went to the bathroom and showered before getting in the bed with Blessyn. She was sleeping pretty hard, so I didn’t wake her. I just hoped I could get some sleep tonight. My nightmares were getting worse, and I didn’t want to scare Blessyn with my problems. Tomorrow was my birthday and all I wanted to do was spoil Blessyn while we were here. She didn’t even know because I wasn’t big on birthdays anymore. I pulled her into my arms so I could smell her so I could go to sleep.

The next day, I had a driver ready for us around lunchtime to take us shopping. I let Blessyn get everything she looked at. She was so plain and nonchalant that it was hard for her to accept my gifts. This was something that I always wanted to do with my woman. If she became my wife, I didn’t want her to do nothing but run her shops and take care of my kids. I didn’t want her opening her wallet for nothing. She could stack her bread and take trips with her friends with that shit.

“I swear I don’t want to leave this place,” Blessyn said.

“We don’t have to.”

“Nah, I gotta go home and fix this shit with my sister. I miss her and all her craziness.”

“That’s the chick you were with that night at the club?”

“Yeah. I think her and your brother fucking around but they denying it. She works at the shop with me. Well, she did before I fired her.”

“Family can piss you off but they all you got. If she didn’t do nothing to betray you, you gotta fix it before it’s too late. Living with regrets is the hardest thing to do.”

“I know. I gotta fix a lot of shit with my family but I’ve been so happy being with you that I haven’t thought about them.”

“I’m glad that I make you happy, but I want you to take some time and get that shit together. I ain’t going nowhere without you so when we get back. Fix that problem.”

I hired a chef to fix us dinner back at my spot so we could have some privacy. This shit I was about to pop on Blessyn was going to make her ride my dick right on the spot. This was our last night in Miami, so I told her not to get dressed up for us to eat. We sat out back and ate until we were sick. Blessyn sat on the side of the pool letting her feet get wet as I snuck behind her and got on one knee.

“Blessyn.”

“Lucky, what the hell you doing?”

“I’m tryin’ to ask you to marry me but you down on your fuckin’ knees with me. You making this shit hard.”

“What am I supposed to do?”

“Stand your ass up or something but get off your knees. We got plenty of time for that later.” Blessyn stood up in front of me with tears streaming down her face. “Blessyn, will you marry me? I know it hasn’t been long but I’m not waiting years when I already know that I wanna be with you.”

“Yes, I’ll marry you.” I slid that big ass rock on her finger and it fit perfectly. She was about to make me this happiest man on earth. I couldn’t wait to have kids and tell them how I met their mama. Hell, I can’t even believe this shit.

The pictures of my baby sat on the coffee table as I cried. A few days ago, I thought I could go through the abortion proceed but I couldn’t. I didn’t want to take the chance of killing my baby and it was Perc’s. The sonogram confirmed to me that it was in fact his. I looked over my calendar several times. I even went through my text thread and DMs with Ben to add updates. Instead of me being happy about it, I was sad as fuck. Perc would never believe me if I told him.

He made it clear that day he walked out that we were done. To put a stamp on it, he blocked me from his phone and deleted me off all his shit. I had no other choice but to live with it. Now that I knew who my baby belonged to, I cut off my communication with Ben. He tried buying the car, but I didn’t want it. Anything that connected me to him, I got rid of. I didthe same shit to Perc too. Maybe now that we weren’t fucking around, his baby mama would leave me the fuck alone.

I looked around my condo and became disgusted with myself. This was so unlike me. Usually, I was happy and dressed up just to take pictures for Instagram. Lately, all I did was lay around and cry. Pregnancy was supposed to be a happy moment but without anyone to share it with, what was I supposed to do. My mama didn’t know, Blessyn didn’t know, and my daddy had already sent me a text about what he heard in the streets, but I hadn’t responded. He was on my shit list too.

“Merci,” a knock on my door and the sound of my sister's voice gave me so much joy. We hadn’t talked in a month. “Can you open the door so we can talk. I know you home too because I still have your location on my phone.” I forgot I shared my location with her when I was in Tennessee. I got up and answered the door. She had a nice tan and glow to her when I opened the door.

“Come on in.”
