************************************** Tinashe
I was in my bathroom getting sexy for my man. At least he thinks he's my man. I'm just doing what I do best when I'm not Tinsinging and dancing. This time, I couldn't help but feel nervous and a little guilty. He had a baby and I've NEVER taken a job involving taking a parent away from a child. Not in a pleasant or peaceful way either. Too late to change my mind now; I have to do this then go get paid. I applied my red lipstick, looked in the mirror, then headed into my bedroom satisfied with my looks.
Once I came out of the bathroom, I could hear the music playing softly in the background. I looked around and saw the candles lit and rose petals on the bed. With the mood set; I couldn't lie and say I didn't get turned on. "Don't get distracted! You have a job to do; focus," I tell myself hoping I'd listen. That's when I heard his voice. "Damn. No wonder red is my favorite color. My bad for leaving you but I had to check on my princess. I'm glad I did; she's still sleeping." Lawd that voice!
Before I lost it, I took a deep breath remembering what I was doing here; ignoring the chills I got from the goosebumps that Virginia accent gave me. That let me compose myself quickly so I give him a sexy smirk in response then speak: "Me too. Now get over here before she wakes up. Unless you were all talk like I think you are." I was already on my bed, just waiting for him, and it took all of me to keep from laughing after teasing him with my words. I now had him right where I wanted.
"You know you're in trouble right? I told you about that shit," he says while climbing on top of me. "Then prove you're not all talk. You know what to do first zaddy; or do you need a reminder?" Damn; I was getting too good at this! He kissed me hungrily and grabbed my still covered breasts causing me to moan. But don't worry; I was still focused on my task! Hearing his voice again almost made me forget everything though: "Nah. But you're not getting anything that easy. Work for it."
Confused to what he meant by that, I watch as he turned over and sat up to grab the remote and change the song that was playing. Now I know what he wanted and if it's a show he wants, he's gonna get one! "Get up. Strip." I smirked again and followed his demands. It wasn't until I was in position that he played the song he wanted me to dance to: Skin by his ex Rihanna; my favorite. I danced to the beat; teasing him until he couldn't take anymore. That's when I heard my cue.
He grabbed me and threw me on the bed; trying to take control. Not tonight! I managed to get on top and tease him some more waiting for my time to strike. He noticed that his little girl was in his ex Kae's arms, which I wasn't expecting, and I've never seen him jump up so fast. It was just supposed to be her! "What the fuck are you doing Kae?! How did you even get in here?! Put her down and get out!" She then laughs. "No. I want to see this; keeping her ensures your terror in your last moments."
As she made her statement, she looked my way making him realize what was going on. He slowly followed suit to see me dressed; a knife in my hands. He charged for the door and fell instantly; with his adrenaline pumping and fight-or-flight response kicking in, the drugs I got in his system had temporarily paralyzed him. This is it; if I let them wear off, I won't have another opportunity. I climb on top of him with the blade, ready to aim for his heart, and he says his final words.
"You're really gonna do this in front of my daughter?" Fuck. Now he's tugging on my heartstrings. I look at him then I look at his little princess who after tonight would be growing up without a father. Then I look at him again as a single tears falls from my eyes. Kae sees it and was going to go off but remembered she had a one and a half year old in her arms. That led her to saying only this: "You're not backing out now are you?!" This time, I had to stop myself from cussing her out which wasn't easy.
"No! Just shut up and let me do this! You weren't supposed to bring Royalty in here!" She laughs again in response then spoke. "Well it did the job didn't it? Now do yours!" The whole time, he was looking in my eyes pleading with me that I wouldn't do it and it broke my heart. Once this is done, I'll never be the same again because he's the last person who deserves this. I look into his eyes one last time and whisper: "I'm sorry." I then turn away out of guilt as the knife went into his chest.
