The Plug's Daughter (15 page)

              I gulped. “I wasn’t plannin’ on doing anything.”

              “Okay, c’mon. I’ll get in the shower while you undress in the bathroom if it makes you feel better.”

              That didn’t really make me feel any better, but I followed him anyway. While he undressed I tried my best not to show how much he was really repulsing me by keeping a seductive look on my face. He was buying that fake shit. As a matter of fact he was eating it up.

              “You like what you see gorgeous?” He asked just as he dropped his drawers.

              His wrinkled dick was all shriveled up and short. I almost laughed out loud, but I held it in. At least if I went along with having sex with him it wouldn’t hurt. For some reason I looked around the bedroom. There were handcuffs, a whip, chains, and all types of shit laid out on the bed.

              What the fuck was that fool thinking? He was a sexual deviant and that became painfully obvious. Oh, he was one of those muthafuckas. He couldn’t hurt a bitch with his little dick, so he had to hurt women in other ways. After seeing that shit I knew what I had to do. There was no way he was doing the crazy, freaky ass shit that he was planning for me. Hell nah. Without giving him a clue about what I was thinking, I pretended that the items on the bed didn’t bother me one bit.

              He was butt naked as I followed him into the bathroom.

              “I can’t wait to get my hands on yo’ fine ass I’m gon’ do all types of shit to you. Hmm, you just don’t know. I can’t wait to get all up in that young pussy. I know it’s good. Mmm!” There was a huge, toothy smile on his face and his beer belly moved as he chuckled.

Eww, his body was fucking disgusting as hell and when he started stroking his limp dick I wanted to disappear. When he turned around to turn the shower on I was relieved. I quickly moved the knife to the back of my thong. He turned around and stared me down again.

“Okay, I’m ‘bout to get in, so go ahead and get undressed.”

“A’ight.” My smile had to be enticing him because he didn’t press the issue as he stepped in the shower.

I pulled my dress over my head and he watched me attentively.

“You are perfect…” He was literally drooling and my mind was racing trying to come up with something.

It was to no avail. There was only one way out. I was not going to let him violate me. There was no fucking way.

“Thank you.” I was seducing him with my eyes as I removed my push up bra.

His tongue was hanging out like a panting dog and it was hard for me to keep up my sexy, willing to fuck routine. It was only a matter of time before my true feelings started seething.

For a split second he turned away to lather up and I removed my thong while holding the knife in my right hand. He didn’t notice as I stepped in the shower behind him. I was surprised that he kept his back to me and continued to wash himself. Damn, that shit was going to be easier than I thought and I had to act fast.

Without even giving him a clue of what I was doing, I flipped the knife so that the handles were down and the blade was up. The cascading water masked the sound and he was oblivious. With a flick of my wrist the blade was in his back. I swiftly pulled it out and stabbed again and again and again. The sight of his blood really unleashed the beast inside of me. As I stabbed him over and over I saw my mother’s face. The truth was, I really wanted to put the blade of that knife in her, but I couldn’t. Because of that, I was going to take my vengeance out on him. By the time I was finished he was lying on his back, his body was still and the crimson blood was running down the drain with the water.

There were so many stab wounds in his body and I knew that he was dead. I allowed the water to wash the remnants of blood from my naked body and stepped out of the shower. I removed the knife from his neck and rinsed it off in the water. Instead of turning it off, I just let the shower run. I figured he’d just bleed out over time.

After drying off, I grabbed my purse and put my knife inside. After I got dressed I went to check on Will again. He was definitely a goner and I was so damn glad. I grabbed the glass that I had drank out of and stashed it in my purse too. After that I wiped down anything that could’ve had my finger prints on it. Not only was that nigga not going to take advantage of me, but he’d never take advantage of anybody else again. That shit felt damn good.

“Arrrghhhhhhh!!” I screamed out as I opened my eyes. Keys was standing over me. The feeling of something cold on my forehead caught my attention. It must’ve been ice, so I relaxed. At first I thought it was a gun.

“Sen, baby, you’re okay. You’re with me ma.” He said with genuine concern in his eyes.

At the moment I didn’t feel any pain and I couldn’t remember anything past leaving McDonough to drive to my father’s house. Of course the memory of our love making was vivid as hell.

“Where am I?” I looked around at my surroundings.

“At my spot,” he said. “You don’t remember what happened?”

“No, what happened? All I remember is…” I grinned slyly. “And then I was driving to my father’s…Ohhh…” The memories suddenly came flooding in. “Shit, the man...”

“I killed him,” Keys disclosed with a look of vengeance in his eyes. “He was…he was after you. Why would somebody be after you Sen? You think it got something to do with Trell?”

I shook my head. “No…it’s…I…” Fuck, how could I tell him that I’d killed a very dangerous man and now his criminal organization was after me?

It wasn’t Trell sending anybody after me. It was Will’s people and I knew it. That was who me and my mother had been running from and they’d finally found me. Maybe I should’ve gone to Puerto-Rico with her, but I couldn’t stand to be in the same space as her for too long. I just knew that they wouldn’t find me, but going to Georgia may not have been the best idea.

“Trell’s the least of my worries…Thank you for…killing him and saving my life.”

“I’m just glad I was there baby. I thought you’d been shot.” The stress on his face showed that he really gave a shit about me. “What the fuck Sen?”

If only he knew how much I had longed for somebody to really care. I knew that my father cared, but for some reason that wasn’t enough.

“Don’t judge me…” I could feel the pain in my head all of a sudden.

“It’s too late for that. I already got feelings for you.” His eyes glimmered with understanding and I could tell that he adored me.

Without a second thought I filled him in on my mother’s attempt to sell my body for her own gain. When I told him the details of the murder his face didn’t change. Once it was all out I felt like I’d purged my guilt and for some reason, although somebody was trying to kill me, I felt a little better.

“Oh shit Sen, this shit’s really serious ma. You have to tell Men…”

“No! Are you serious Keys? Do you hear yourself? He’ll kill me!”
              He shook his head as he kissed my hand. “No he won’t. He loves you more than anything and he can help. Why are you so afraid to tell him the truth?”

“Because, he’s the only person who really gives a shit about me. I don’t want him to hate me. If he hates me I have nobody.”

Keys shook his head vigorously. “No, that’s not true. I really give a shit about you. I love you. You got me and you always will.”

My heart melted instantly. “I love you too Keys.” Then my next thought ruined the moment. “Oh shit. My car…It’s in my father’s name and it’s at a murder scene!”

“I took care of that already baby. Don’t worry. I called Dame and he handled it. Guess that nigga’s good for something. That’s such a deserted road that when he got there the body was still in the same place. It’s a good thing it’s like a ditch there and even if a car passed by they may have missed the body, but eventually someone would’ve been suspicious about his car on the side of the road and your car smashed into a tree. Now it’s a matter of getting rid of the people who are after you. Wow.” He sighed. “So not only is Trell an issue, but it seems I got my work cut out for me to keep you alive ma.”

I felt like shit for getting him involved in my mess. The tears formed against my will again. “I’m so sorry Keys…”

“Shhhh…” He ran his fingers through my hair and held me close. “No need to apologize. I gotcha ma and I ain’t lettin’ nothin’ happen to you.”

“Thank you Keys.” I tried to calm down and get my thoughts together. “If it wasn’t for you I’d be dead.”

“Like I said, I got you. That’s my word. How does your head feel? I was gonna take you to the hospital, but…”

“No, I’m fine. No hospitals. When they figure out that their hit man is dead and didn’t do the job I’m sure they’re gonna come after me again. I have to call my mom. Shit, I should’ve went with her to Puerto-Rico.”

“I know shit’s fucked up ma, but if you had gone to Puerto-Rico,
we
wouldn’t be happening.”

I leaned over and kissed him. “You’re right. I guess it’s bittersweet.”

“Well, go ahead and call your mom. I’ll give you a minute. Make sure you call Mendosa too and let him know that you’re okay. You’re not leavin’ though. You’re stayin’ here until we figure shit out. Obviously whoever’s after you knows about the spot in McDonough.”

I nodded in agreement. “Okay, but I need some…”

“Make a list and I’ll get whatever you need. If you want I’ll go to your condo and pick up some clothes for you too,” he stated matter of factly and I couldn’t help but feel taken care of. It felt good.

“Thank you again Keys.”

He nodded and left the room.

Anxiety kicked in as I dialed my mother’s number. As much as I hated her, I still didn’t want anything to happen to her. I tapped my foot on the floor as the phone rang. Finally after five rings she answered.

“Sen?”

“Hey, yeah, it’s me.”

“You okay? I had an awful dream…”

“I’m fine.” The bitch actually sounded like she gave a fuck, which was a first. “Uh, they’re after me.” I filled her in as best I could over the phone.

There was silence on the other line for a while. All that did was give me time to think back. After I murdered Will I went straight to my mother and told her. At first she brushed it off although she was angry at me. According to her everything would be fine. That was until two weeks later when one of her hoes was found murdered in a hotel room in the shower with multiple stab wounds. It was like a copycat had duplicated the murder that I’d committed. Will’s murder had been all over the news, so we brushed that off too.

Less than a week later another one of my mother’s hoes was found killed in the same manner, but a note was left behind that time. The media hadn’t leaked what the letter said, but that was the first time we realized that we were really in danger. A note arrived at our home the next day.

We know what happened and you will pay with your lives.

That was all that it said. After that it didn’t take long for me and my mother to flee. Obviously Will’s organization was fucking with us big time. They could’ve got to us, but it was more satisfying to play a cat and mouse game.

“Oh my God,’ my mother finally muttered. “It’s only a matter of time before they come for me too. Damnit, why didn’t you just fuck the man Sen! ”

Wow. I rolled my eyes. So, the one second that I felt like she genuinely gave a damn was bullshit. I should’ve known. She hadn’t even asked me what had happened, or if I was okay. That heifer was only concerned about herself. Instead of reacting, I decided to get off the phone before I cussed her out. I was back to not giving a fuck about her selfish ass.

“I just thought I’d let you know. I survived this time, but I don’t know what’ll happen if they send someone else. Bye…mother.” My voice dripped with sarcasm, but she didn’t seem to notice.

“Okay. Look, please, don’t tell your father,” she pleaded. “We are going to make it through this honey.”

I rolled my eyes. “Yeah whatever. How can he protect me if he doesn’t even know that I’m in danger? Just be careful mother. Bye.”

Before she could respond, I ended the call.

After that I called my father and made up some lie about going to see Nadia in Miami for a couple days. I saw that Trell was blowing my phone up, so I called him next. All I had to do was pacify him a little bit and assure him that I wasn’t going to renege on him.

“Damn bitch, when you comin’ back?” He asked harshly. “I ain’t got time to be sittin’ here tryna figure out where yo’ head at. If you cross me I’m killin’ yo’ whole fuckin’ family. Know that shit! Get yo’ ass back to Atlanta!”

“Calm down Trell.” I sighed and rolled my eyes. “You don’t have to worry. You’ll get your part of the deal if you’re really gonna leave me and my father alone after you get what you want. Just make sure the word doesn’t get out that I helped you. My father would never forgive me.”

“I’on give a fuck about that shit bitch! Just get yo’ ass back here before I come to Miami to find yo’ ass!”

“Ok. I’ll be back day after tomorrow. Then I’ll have a talk with my father to find out that information for you.”

“Just make sure you be here and do what the fuck I told you to do. I’ll hit you in the mornin’ and answer your fuckin’ phone!”

With that said he hung up in my ear. If he went to Miami looking for me that would be just fine. As long as he was nowhere near me I was okay.
