Evelynn Brown.
"I think it's really getting late."I said getting up "Saint I think you should leave."
Saint looked at me "meet me outside real quick."
I sighed and nodded, we walked outside and just as soon as we stepped out, he pulled me closer to him by his one hand and kissed me.
I pushed him away "no."
"What? you too good for a nigga now?"
"No I don't wanna be your whore."
He chuckled "you say that a lot, I done heard you mama."he tried to kiss me again.
"Santana I'm serious."
He sighed "what you want."
"I want you to leave me alone, you know what I am and you still wanna hang around me."I folded my arms.
This was a game I was playing, I knew he wouldn't listen to me.
"Come home with me tonight."
"Did you hear anything I just said?"I asked.
"I did...detective Brown."
Before I could say anything my mom and Marvin came outside.
She don't even know who Marvin really is.
"I think I'll leave with Saint."I said to my mama "I'll see you first thing in the morning?"
"Okay I guess I'll see you just be safe"she said understanding from the get go that I'm just doing my job.
But was I really?
"I think we should use my car."I pointed "I don't wanna ride your bloody car."
Saint smirked "you got it and mama."he turned to my mama "thanks for your help and hospitality, I'll send you a few stacks tomorrow."
"You don't have to."
"But I will."he said "good night."
"Good night drive safe."
I went to my room to go get my car keys.
I led them to my car and we left my house and drove to Saints palace.
As soon as him and I got inside, we were met with some old guy sitting on the couch.
"What the fuck happened to you nigga."he stood up "I been calling you."
"I been busy."Saint mumbled.
"Saint who shot you and where'd you get that stitched, you know if you go to hospital cops will look into it it's too many eyes watching man."
"Eve's mother did it, Ian go to no hospital do I look stupid or sum and who the fuck let you in?"Saint asked.
"I'm yo uncle, the closest thing you have to a father I'm just looking out for you."
"Well shii I'm fine, that's your que to leave."Saint mumbled.
What's their beef?
"I'm the closest thing you have to a father don't push me away I know best"
"A FATHER?"Saint semi yelled "nigga fuck you and that nigga..you both fucked me over multiple times, Y'ALL DIDN'T THINK I WOULD GET TO WHERE IM AT HUH?"
"Saint are you stupid? Boy you done lost yo fuck ass mind-"
"Nah are you stupid? How many times did I tell yo ass to stop popping up at my crib tryna run shit nigga I don't answer to you..mind yo fucking business."Saint snapped "shut the fuck up and raise yo actual kids old man..I'm grown as fuck and I know what I'm doing"
"You running around with a cop all for a feeling, this girl."he pointed at me "she finna get you locked up all over what? Some mindless sex?"
"She knows what's at stakes."
"You must be fucking losing it Saint...fucking on a cop when you are the most wanted is wild."
Saint looked at me "she gon' quit, now if you'll excuse me, I know what the fuck I'm doing."
Who said I'll quit.
Saint wrapped his arm around me and we walked to his room.
He shut the door and looked at me "I meant it, you have to quit."
"I can't."I sat down "they offered me a deal, it's either I choose me or you."
"What deal."
"Almost life in prison or I help them catch you, wassup with you and your uncle."
"Man fuck that nigga, he ain't shit."
"What did he do?"
"Ion wanna talk about that nigga."
"Well I got something to tell you."I sighed.
"You pregnant?"he asked "that kid ain't mine."
"No...I understand what you want, you can't just cut me off, come back around and shi"
"I can't date 12 now can I?"he asked "we can't have nothing more, we sleeping with each other that's what it is."
"Yeah you right, I can't abandon my duties either."I nodded but really I didn't agree.
"This is all infatuation mama, and I'm giving you a real friendly warning..don't snoop around, you ain't gon' like what you gon' find."
"How do you know that."
"You won't look at me the same, you won't even let me touch you that's how I'll know."he said as I swallowed the lump in my throat.
Before I could say anything we heard a knock at the door, Marvin stood there looking very much uneasy.
"I've rounded all the men up, like you asked."
Saint looked at Marvin then at me "let's go Eve."
I followed him outside to his backyard where there was about 8 guys standing in a line.
Saint grabbed his gun from Marvin and took it off safety "one of y'all betrayed me...and if none of yall is man enough to admit it, you all die, I can't operate if I don't know who the snitch is"
"See I got shot because one of y'all was stupid enough to give em one of my guns, you see the serial number of that gun points right back to my crib so who's it gonna be."he asked really calmly, a bit too calm if you ask me.
Marvin sighed and looked at all the guys.
"We posed to be family but it's clear we ain't, if none of you niggas step up, I'm gon' kill all y'all families right after y'all and y'all know I mean business"
"Saint what are you doing."
"I'm gonna count to five"he ignored me "5....4....3....2..."
"OKAY FINE..I DID IT."a guy stepped forward with fear in his eyes "I didn't have a choice."
"There's always a choice."Saint shook his head "there's always a fucking choice."
Saint turned around and gave the gun to me.
"What?"I asked.
"Shoot him."
"No...what you saying."
"You with me right?"Saint questioned "so you gon' take this gun and shoot this man."
"Saint I can't-"
"Eve if you can't do it, walk away but just know that you can never come back here, the only way I can trust you is if I know something about you that no one else knows."
"Oh so that's your way of getting me to stay with you no matter what happens?"I asked.
He chuckled "nah, that's my way of protecting myself, if you pull that trigger you can leave anytime and I can guarantee you that your secret is safe with me but if you don't pull that trigger, you can leave right now and don't even think about fucking looking back."
He's smart, I see what he's doing. If I ever gather enough info to get him locked up, he gon' make sure I go down with him for murder but that's if I ever try to double cross him.
I sighed, with my hands trembling and I took the gun, I slowly aimed it at him as he looked at me with pleadful eyes.
"Shoot Eve and aim for his head, I want you to blow his fucking brains out."Saint said wrapping his arms around me from behind.
I closed my eyes pulled the trigger. His. Blood splattered on my face as he fell backwards.
Saint looked at me and took the gun from me.
"Do you wanna leave?"he asked me.
"If I leave will I wake up to cops all over my house in the morning for murder?"I asked.
"Nah, what happens here stays here, regardless if you leave or not."
"I'll stay."
The end.
