some reason I knew by her body language what she was here for.
Chapter 12 Marisol
“Let’s just cut to the chase, Lisa. Were you fucking my husband?”
“Oh, like you were fucking mine.” She stared at me for a few seconds before continuing. “How dare you question me after you had me raise your pain in the ass, deranged daughter?”
“Well, I had to do what I had to do. Besides, what you fail to realize is that everybody knows you never gave a fuck about Denie, so stop saying you raised her. All you cared about was your precious Juan.”
“So, how’s it going with Denie now anyway?” Lisa laughed as if she was trying to hit me with a cheap shot.
“It’s actually going really good. Denie will be enrolling in school at F.I.T. for the fall semester. She won’t be fucked up like you. Look at how your thirsty-ass fucked up your son’s life. No matter how much we tried to tell you not to let that boy get involved in the streets when Rich got locked up, you still had to get all that material shit just to keep up with the Joneses.”
“Fuck you bitch! Don’t even speak my son’s name out of your mouth!” Lisa shouted.
Knowing I’d hit a nerve, I went in for the kill. I wanted to push every button I could to get the truth about Carlos out of her. She was so weak, I knew exactly what to do to get the information I needed.
“So, how does it feel now since you don’t have anyone, and I have everything you want? I have my kids, your ex-husband whenever I need some dick, and money.”
It looked like she wanted to cry. “I’ll be alright.”
“Yeah, looks like your life is going swell. I mean, think about it…I just gave your little NBA baller my number. He thinks I want tickets, but I’ll have that little boy eating out the palm of my hands in a week.”
“You’re so fucking desperate.”
“Never desperate sweetheart,” I replied. “Now, you still failed to answer my question. Were you fucking my husband?” I made sure to get a little closer so she knew I was serious.
“You damn right, I was fucking the shit out of him. Actually, he spent his last day on Earth with yours truly. When you needed your husband while your daughter’s hair was falling out, he was fucking me.”
She definitely caught me off guard with the comment about Mia. The old Lisa would’ve never said such an evil thing about my daughter.As I looked around the room I laid my eyes on a corny-ass snow globe sitting on Lisa’s table that someone must’ve bought her during the holidays. I envisioned it in my hand and then smacking it across Lisa’s head. That bitch had to go and if it wasn’t for the nurses knowing I was in her room right now she would be dead. I had to work out a plan to make that happen, but couldn’t be sloppy Even though her words stung, I had to play it cool in order to get the information I needed about my husband, at least as cool as I could be.
“So, fucking you got my husband killed, huh?”
“Here you are responsible for my son’s death, and now you are trying to put Carlos’ blood on my hands.”
“You just said he spent his last day with you, you dumb bitch. So if you were the last person he fucked that means you were the last person he saw. Now, I’m gonna ask you again, did you have anything to do with my husband’s death.”
“I’m the wrong one to be interrogating,” Lisa responded.
“That ain’t what Rich said. He actually told me you killed my husband. So please do me a favor and be a woman and let that shit come out your mouth so I can put you six feet deep.
Lisa laughed. “And you just called me a dumb bitch. The fact that you believe Rich makes you look stupid as shit.”
When I tried to approach her, Lisa started going off. “Stay the fuck away from me!”
When Lisa opened her mouth and spit a huge wad of salvia in my face, my mind went to another place. The first thing I did was give her two quick Floyd
