My love

.10

I wave my hand letting the chef know to bring out the food, all while still holding eye contact with Cardi.

A few minutes passed, and the chef came back and placed the food in front of us. She broke eye contact first, digging into her food. I watched as she ate, and moaned at the taste.

"How do you like it?" I asked. She looked at me and set her fork down on the plate. "It's nice." She shrugged.

"Do I scare you Belcalis Almànzar?" I asked. Chuckling at her stiffening at her real name. I did research on this woman. She changed her name back in 2014, why? I have no idea.

"How do you know my real name?" She asked wiping her mouth and putting down her fork.

"I have my ways." I said shrugging. "So you wanna tell me why you changed your name?" I asked sitting up.

"No." She said, picking up her fork getting back to eating. It was silent for a little. I was hoping to get it out of her tonight but I guess not.

"I will kill him if you don't tell me." I said talking about the chef, sitting up with a straight face. She dropped her forked and looked at me as if I was crazy. I might be.

"You will kill an innocent man just because I don't feel comfortable sharing why I changed my name?" She asked with a frown. Duh, that's why I said it.

I nodded my head.

"Because I have a past where my ex boyfriend, who use to beat the shit out of me, was looking for me." She said. It seemed like she had no emotion when she said it. Like she cut her emotions off.

"Cardi-" she cut me off. "Let me finish. I went through hell trying to get away from that disgusting so called a man. So I changed my name. So he would never find me. And he never did." She said.

"Now if we could drop the conversation, that would be great." She said going back to eating.

Before I could apologize I got an call. I picked up my phone, looking at the caller ID I saw it was Mike.

"Aren't you on date?" I asked answering the phone.

"HE'S BEEN SHOT!" It was Nicki on the phone.

"What?" I said. I hope she's joking right now.

"MASSIMO HE'S BEEN SHOT! WERE AT THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW! 58th street downtown by this big ass building." She said sounding like she's been crying. I didn't need to know who got shot. It was Mike.

"On my way." I said hanging up phone.

I looked at Cardi seeing her looking at me like she's about to pass out. "We're cutting this short. Go up to your room and don't come out until I get back." I said walking away before she can ask any questions.

I dial QP, one of my trusted workers tat train the men. "What's up Boss." QP answered sounding like he just woke up. "Meet me at the hospital downtown." I said hanging up getting in my Audi. Heading to the hospital.

Mike is one of the few people I trust. If he died I don't know what I would do. He's my day one and has been by my side ever since we were 11.

Stay with me Mike.
________________________________
I walk into the hospital and the smell of depression hits me. This why I don't go to hospitals, their depressing.

I walk up to the lady behind the counter.

"Here for Mike ." I said keeping it short. She looks up and bites her lip. And here we go. I huff, "You can't hear bitch? Where the fuck is Mike Davis?" I ask with anger laced in voice. That seemed to get her in check.

She has a shock expression but quickly wipes it off. "He's in surgery. So you will have to wait." She said. I look over at the waiting area, and see a whole bunch of homeless people, pregnant women , and people who have been shot.

As I'm looking I spot Nick in the corner, in a blanket; i can tell she has been crying.

I walk over to her and hug her. It's odd for me to give hugs. I've always been an closed off person and never let my feelings show. It's just not me. But I know it's traumatizing to see a person get shot, especially when it's your first time.

"Nicki Minaj!" A female voice called out. Me and Nicki both looked up to see an older lady standing there with an clipboard in her hand.

Nicki stands and walks over to the doctor.

They talk for a while, until I see an shocked and worried expression cone across her face. I knew something was wrong when tears run down her cheek.

She walks away and comes back and sit down.

"What did she say?" I asked, worried evident in my voice. She doesn't say anything, and that gets me even more on edge.

"What happened Nicki?" I said a little louder this time. She turns and looks me in the eyes. The words that came out of her mouth me wish I never stepped foot on this earth.

"He's in a coma."
