hand made their heated night of passion flash across mind. Fuck, why did I fuck blood? Keisha thought as Gutty was began to stare her deep in the eyes. Uncomfortable, Keisha snatched her hand from Gutty’s and looked away from him.
Lady G damn near raped a nigga last night, and now I touch her and she jumps? Gutty was perplexed. The moment was awkward, and when Gutty saw Big Pope Dog and Poo Baby approaching, he stepped back from Keisha to allow her to have her space. “Here come Big Pope Dog and yo’ homegirl,” he told her.
Keisha climbed out of the SUV, dragging, feeling like a complete failure and nuisance. She felt stupid.
Everyone stood looking at her. Big Pope Dog and Poo Baby both looked equally fed up with her.
“I’ma go and apologize to my G-Ma and tuck my daughter in bed and try to read her a bedtime story or something. I know I fucked up,” Keisha admitted.
Poo Baby stopped Keisha in her tracks and said, “Your grandmother said you weren’t welcome back in her house, dog. Let’s just leave. She just got Kessia to calm down.”
“I understand she’s mad, but I ain’t leaving here until I say goodnight to my daughter.” Keisha marched past Poo Baby to the door, knocking repeatedly, calling her grandmother until she finally opened the door.
Full of disappointment, Grandma Ethel stepped onto the porch and then closed her door behind her. “Didn’t your friends tell you that you weren’t welcome back in my house after that stunt you just pulled?” Grandma Ethel had never been more disappointed in her granddaughter.
Without words, Keisha wrapped her arms around her grandmother and held her tight. It seemed as if she had disappointed her grandmother her entire life and she was truly sick and tired of it. Standing in the darkness, Keisha decided to come clean with her grandmother about everything. Grandma Ethel was blown away at the danger that her granddaughter had gotten herself into. Her eyes filled with tears.
“The next time you see me, G-Ma, I promise you on my father’s life that my life will be on track. I promise you that.” Keisha looked her grandmother sincerely in the eyes. “But just in case, G-Ma, I want you to know that I love you, and my daughter means more than life itself to me. I’m so sorry for all the heartache and pain that I’ve caused you both. I know that it seems like I just can’t get right, but I’m working on it.” Keisha’s voice trembled and she feared that she’d lost the opportunity to be a mother and solid foundation in her children’s lives. Keisha held both of her grandmother’s hands and said, “But G-ma, if I don’t make it through this, please promise me that you won’t take Kessia from her father. Li’l Boo loves her dearly and he’s a great dad. He’s not the bad guy; I am.”
Tears fell from her eyes. Grandma Ethel begged Keisha not to think that way. “Pudding, you can stay here with us so you can see your daughter every day.” She held Keisha’s face. “And we can get you the help you need, Pudding -”
Keisha slowly shook her head. “I wish it was that simple, G-Ma, but it isn’t. I have to stay away and hide,” she said to be more precise, “and until certain people die, G-Ma…” Keisha paused, seeing the effect her words had on her grandmother’s face. “I have to do this, but tho se guys outside will take good care of me. I trust them with my life. But just in case, is all I’m saying. The man that’s after me is a very powerful man and that’s why Ryan is here. To help you.”
Grandma Ethel nodded her head, broken, and although she hated to learn the painful truth, she was better off knowing it. Grandma Ethel hugged Keisha once more and said, “Well, Poo Baby tucked Kessia into bed. Now why don’t you go up there and tell your daughter goodnight?” Grandma Ethel let her granddaughter in.
“Thank you very much, G-Ma.” Keisha stepped inside.
“And it’s Grandmother to you, I’m not gon’ keep telling
