calling about a late-night drug run, or possibly that bitch Shirley who was eager to get some dick in her tonight. I surely hoped that was the case, because Iâd had my taste of something good tonight, and I was in no mood for Ray.
I closed the closet and was on my way out the door to go take a shower. Thatâs when I felt something solid as a rock slam into the side of my face. Immediately, all I saw was darkness with flashes of white lights. My skull felt like it had been crushed and all I could feel was throbbing in my head. Tears seeped from the corner of my eyes and I hit the floor so hard that I was sure I had broken something. My eyes fluttered, and all I could see was a blurred vision of Ray standing over me, pointing his finger at me.
âYou ainât nothinâ but a goddamn slut,â he yelled. âI know for a fact what that nigga Miles told me wasnât true, but he ainât the kind of nigga who would lie to me.â Ray squatted to my level and looked me in the eyes. âDid you give that fool my pussy tonight? Even after I told you that that shit belonged to me, tell me you didnât go there, did you? In addition to that, is it true that you want yoâ freedom and that you wished me dead? Did you give that nigga some pussy to kill me?â
The whole left side of my face was numb. When I tried to open my mouth, it hurt so badly. I couldnât believe this shit, and as I sat on the floor thinking about it, all I could think about was my new rule: trust no nigga! All of them muthafuckas had an agenda. I shouldâve known better than to think Miles would help me. I suspected that the only thing Iâd get out of it was a good fuck, and the fact that I was back to my original plan with Honey didnât make me feel good.
I held the side of my face and was unable to feel my hand. I thought Ray had hit me with something, but the only thing heâd hit me with was his fist. I still hadnât said one word. That angered him even more.
âI need some answers, damn it! Speak the fuck up and let me hear what you got to say about this shit! Yoâ ass is out of control, and whatâs up with that nigga giving you some money?â
For now, I remained silent. Just glared at him with hatred trapped in my eyes, and that angered him even more. He continued to rant.
âYou donât have to say shit because I already know whatâs up. And what I need to do is throw you out on yoâ ass tonight. You donât deserve to be here, and no bitch should be allowed to get away with what youâve done to me.â
Ray was so good at threatening me, but this time, I knew he was serious. Still, I didnât respond. I allowed him to get whatever he wanted to off his chest, and I remained crouched down on the floor, trying to soothe my pain.
âIf I die,â he said, spraying my face with his spit, âbitch, what you gonâ do? You know damn well that you ainât shit without me. I canât believe that this is the kind of appreciation I get from you!â
He lifted his foot and punted my midsection. I curled up in a knot and did my best to shield my face and the rest of my body from his brutal attack.
âI will never touch yoâ nasty ass again,â he yelled. âNever again, but if you think Iâm gonâ allow you to be free, youâd better think again. Yoâ ass stayinâ right here with me. You gonâ continue to make me all the money I need, and if or when I get tired of you, I will let you know.â
Ray stood and unzipped his pants. He pulled out his stubby dick and shook it with his hand. I thought he was going to order me to give him a blowjob, but instead, he dropped his head back in relief and started pissing. His piss flowed all over me, especially on top of my head. My hair fell flat and his liquids ran down my face. The smell of his urine was awful, and as some of it flowed into my eyes, it
