surprised look on her face and her mouth was slightly open.
“You still love me?” Her arched eyebrows rose up a bit.
“Of course I do.”
She bit her bottom lip nervously. “Are you still in love with me?”
I opened my mouth to speak, and the door opened at the same time. In walked Khari’s pediatrician with a bright green folder in her hand.
“Hello Angelique, how are you Tyce?”
I responded in kind , but Angelique was silent.
“I’m good Dr. Gent.”
“That’s good to hear. And how is little Miss Khari doing today?” The doctor shook her patients’ small hand playfully. “You can sit her on the table mom.”
Angelique finally snapped out of her own world and fell back into mother mode. I could tell she wanted to talk about the conversation we had before the doc interrupted my words, but it was not the ideal time for that. I was internally grateful for the untimely intrusion, because honestly I didn’t want to answer her question. The whole shit had caught me off guard.
After the appointment was over, Angelique and I stood by her Jaguar in the parking lot. I held Khari in my arms while she stood in front of me looking like she just came from a photo shoot for Maxim magazine. Her cleavage was pumping, and her ass was calling my name through her thigh hugging leggings. Her low cut T-shirt ended just north of her round hips so her entire backyard was in full view.
“Did you wear that outfit cuz you knew you were comin’ to see me?”
“What?” She sucked her teeth.
“You heard me. I didn’t stutter.”
She waved me off. “Anyway, I wanna talk to you about somethin’.”
I looked at Khari as she drank apple juice from her sippy cup. “Did you see how your mom jus’ swerved to avoid my question? Did you see that baby girl?” I chuckled at Angelique. “I’ll let you slide for now…so wasup? What do you wanna talk to me about?”
Angelique suddenly got real serious. Whatever it was she wanted to discuss with me was not a laughing matter. I could tell from knowing her over the years when something was bothering her, and something was definitely on her brain.
She took a deep breath and exhaled sharply. “I don’t want this to turn into an argument or anything like that. So I jus’ wanna make that clear before I say what I have to say.” She put one finger in the air.
“Alright, I’m cool.” I reassured her.
She nodded her head slowly. “Good, I know you’re a grown man and you’re jus’ as stubborn as I am , so I’m not gonna try to change your mind about this job. You’re the best at what you do and I jus’ want you to be extra careful.” She placed her palm on my chest. “I know you feel it. I can tell. You know this shit is different. If you’re gonna do this…and I know you are, regardless of who or what tries to get in your way…I need you to listen to your intuition. Expect the unexpected, cross your T’s and dot your I’s. Make sure you cover all possible angles and plan for the shit you can’t see or control. You understand?”
This time I nod ded my head slowly. “I gotchu.”
“Good. I know you have to run , so I’ll take Khari with me.”
“Alright.” I handed our baby over to her. “Ay, you never told me what happened in the parking garage with Rachael after she shot at you.”
Angelique’s lips twisted up. “Oh, I was posted up next to her car waiting for Sway when she popped up outside the window. And like he told you, she shot at me four times. By the way I’ma need you to hook my car up like you did yours. I love those bullet proof windows. Anyway, after she emptied the gun I hit her with the car door and we started fighting. The crazy bitch tried to snatch me bald, but I put a stop to that shit.”
“What’d you do to her?” I grinned.
“I pussy punched that bitch like a man.”
I dropped my head and clapped my hands like I was in church. “Damn, no wonder she was limping.
“You still love me?” Her arched eyebrows rose up a bit.
“Of course I do.”
