“Well, think about it. Where would you shoot an enemy? If someone tried to kidnap you right now and you saw them coming towards you, where would you aim?”
“That’s a silly question, Hov. I don’t know.”
“And that’s a problem, so answer it. How would you defend yourself?”
His voice was stern, so I took him serious, picking out the spot I figured I would try to shoot.
“Umm, the legs.”
“Right or left?”
“Left.”
I answered and Hov moved my arm until he felt it was in the right position.
He squeezed his finger onto mine and sent a bullet from the chamber, vibrating my hand as I screamed.
“Oh my god, oh my god!”
I was screaming both out of fear and the rush I felt.
“You ready to do it again?”
“Yes, I think so.”
“Alright, don’t forget your posture. Stand up straight mama.”
He put one hand on my stomach, pushing it in to adjust my posture.
“Alright, go when you're ready.”
I nodded my head.
Pop, pop, pop, pop!
We fired shots back to back to back, and each time the rush got more and more intense inside of my body.
“Now, I’m going to step back. Let you take control.”
“I can’t do this by myself, Hov.”
My eyes widened and he chuckled as he leaned on the table in the corner.
“You got it, mama. Trust me, I’m right here. Now turn around and focus. Pretend I’m right behind you.”
I took a deep breath and then aimed the gun at the poster in front of me. When I had the barrel pointed in the direction of the stomach, I fired off shot after shot, getting more and more comfortable with squeezing the trigger until I was squeezing it and nothing came out.
When I look to Hov, he stood up with a proud look on his face. Hov took the gun from my hand and then set it on the table behind us.
“Now.”
He stood in front of me and wrapped his arms around my waist.
“You can come back here whenever you want to shoot to get familiar with a gun. Me being a powerful known nigga makes other nigga sometimes want what I have. I want you to always be able to protect yourself when we’re not together, you understand?”
I nodded my head.
“Can I be honest with you though?”
