Page 26 of Welcome to the Table
She fell flat on the chair, pissed off, and I slid out of her. My dick was still hard, but if this nigga was calling, then I knew it was about to be some shit.
“What’s up, Fanucci?” I pulled my shorts up and walked away from Athena, laughing because she hadn’t moved.
I walked further into the backyard so she wouldn’t hear me. This was the part I kept her from for safety reasons.
“You know I don’t call you on any bullshit, Melphy.” His fucking accent was so strong, and he could never get my name right.
“Speak then, Fanucci. What’s up? You are calling me in the middle of the day,” I told him, voice filled with irritation.
“I hate talking on phone lines, but I don’t have the time to fly across the country. You need to get your affairs in order. There is a snake in your camp, and the feds are on your ass,” he said, and I laughed.
“I have feds in my back pocket, Fanucci. They can’t fucking touch me.” I wasn’t being cocky, but I knew what the fuck I knew.
“Not all of them, my friend, but someone very close to you or who knows a lot about you has been running their mouth,trying to take you down. You need to go underground until it blows over, or you are going to be sorry. You can come this way until it’s safe to go back.”
I listened to him as I turned to look at my wife. I almost laughed because she was sitting on the lounge chair with her legs wide open, circling her clit. Her eyes were glued to mine, and the shit was sexy as hell. My dick grew from the view. I didn’t want to turn away, but I knew I had to because Fanucci was talking serious.
“My friend, are you there?” I heard him say.
“Yeah, I’m here, but what about my wife? She has to come with me, so I can protect her.”
I felt like I was asking a nigga’s permission like I was a fucking child. How the fuck this nigga knew what the fuck was going on across the country?
“You and I know that Athena can take care of herself, but you must not tell her. If you do, tell your entire family together and get everything in order. This is only temporary. Gather your family and tell them. My jet will be at the strip at 7:00 a.m. sharp. Until then, my friend.” The phone call disconnected, and I was heated. I trusted Fanucci, though.
I crossed paths with him five years ago while on vacation with Athena. We conversed about what he did in Colombia and how we could merge, but I always told him I would think about it. He would always be an ally, not an enemy. He gained my trust over the years, so I had no reason not to trust him and what he told me. I didn’t like the fact that I couldn’t bring my wife with me, and I knew once she found out, she wouldn’t be happy about it either.
“Ahhhhhhh, fuck. That shit feels so good.” Athena caught my attention again, and she was in the same spot. Her pussy was squirting the nectar that I craved every day. If I could mix herjuices in my smoothies, I would. I walked back over to finish the job.
“What was that about? And don’t say nothing because your entire demeanor changed with that one phone call, so tell me what the fuck is up.” She tried to close her legs, but I was quicker than her.
I kneeled before my wife and devoured her until she creamed in my mouth. Legs trembling, words barely audible. I needed to take her mind off what the fuck was about to happen. Once I licked her dry, I pulled her up and kissed her.
“Get the boys together, and I will tell you everything that’s going on,” I said, pulling her into my arms.
“You know they going to the second line today, and Calliope hasn’t been out in years, so let them have their fun, but I’ll send a message for them to come after that.” She grabbed her phone and started typing away.
I knew they wouldn’t be on time, but I would make their asses come earlier than later.
CURRENTLY
I stood when my right hand, my best friend, and my brother walked into my house. He never needed an invite when I was concerned. My house was his house, and that held so much meaning at that point. Wisdom never smiled. Our friendship stemmed back more than ten years. I knew I could put my life in his hands, but I was still a little paranoid about leaving my family behind. This shit with Fanucci was personal, and I didn’t want Athena involved. This nigga had every piece of evidence to hand over to the Feds on me. He was the fucking snake, but I couldn’t bring my mouth to form the words to tell Athena. I wanted to handle this shit myself, and I would.
Fanucci had been begging for a seat at my table for years, but I knew it would be risky because he wanted to bring drugs to my city. The phone call had already confirmed what I already knew. My mind raced, my hands were clammy, and I was standoffish with my wife. She knew my soul, and I didn’t need to have a weak moment with her and spill what I was going to do. Athena was the only woman who could make me open like a fucking butterfly.
“What this nigga doing here?” Hellcat said, smacking his teeth. He had a love/hate relationship with Wisdom, and I didn’t understand why.
His eyes went to Hellcat, but he didn’t say anything. He continued into the dining area and took a seat at the other end of the table.
“Nigga, if you wanna know why the fuck I’m here, address me, not Melph,” he said and sat down. He pulled his gun from his back and set it on the table.
Wisdom was a silent killer, but I knew he was doing that shit because of Hellcat. I knew he wasn’t gonna use it because we were all family. I nodded at him, and he gave me a half smile. The table was silent once again. Everybody’s mind was on what the fuck was about to happen or be said out of my mouth. All eyes were on me.
I noticed Calliope didn’t speak too much because he was probably thinking. That’s what I admired about my son; he was a thinker first and strategized his every move. I knew he didn’t fuck with me tough, but he was good at his position in this family. The only thing that pissed me off was the shit with Klarity. He knew better than that, or he really didn’t know the reason behind the shit that happened. It was up to Athena to tell him.
“I really don’t give a fuck why you're here, to be honest, or that you set your toy on the fucking table. I could be knee deepin some pussy. If you here, why the fuck all of us gotta be here?” He pulled out his blade and twirled it around in his hand.
I knew what type of time he was on, and it was pissing me the fuck off. I’d had enough of Hellcat’s mouth.
