Official Girl (9 page)

Reneice
came back into the living room and headed straight for the front door.

“Yea I’m on my way out the door now, alright, bye.”

She was still acting like she didn’t see Mykell and it was pissing him off.

“Well hello to you too and where the fuck you going?”
He asked.

She looked at him, rolled her eyes and put on her Chanel sunglasses before she walked out the door. Mykell sat there
dumbfounded, he didn’t knew what her problem was.

MJ came back down the stairs ready to play his video games.

“You hungry lil man?” Mykell asked.

“Nope, mommy took me out to eat already.” MJ replied
, without ever looking up.

Mykell walked into the kitchen shaking his head.

How the fuck did we go from the perfect lil family to this shit
, he thought as he fixed himself something to eat.

Then, h
e went back into the living room and sat with his son.

“I’m going to be a big brother,” MJ said out of nowhere damn near making Mykell choke.

“What you talkin’ bout lil man?”

“I heard mommy on the phone with somebody saying she was pregnant, she said she just found out yesterday. So I’ma
be a brother.” He smiled happily not knowing that he just started an uproar.

Leave it up to kids to tell everything.

Reneice was laying on Kamil’s couch venting. She decided that she was going to stay there until it was time for her to go to work, she didn’t want to be around Mykell after the shit he pulled the previous night. She even turned her phone off.

“Yes, Mil
Mil. He climbed his sorry ass in the bed with me and didn’t even have the decency to wash the bitch off him.” Kamil sat quiet listening to her vent. He knew Mykell would fuck up eventually.

“
So what did you do?” He asked anxious to hear how she handled the situation.

“I went and swiped that nigga black card at any and every store I could think of, that’s what I did. I was too sleepy to confront him last night so I did some revenge shopping.” She chuckled.

Kamil just shook his head. “You are a hot mess girl.”

“I know. He knows I like to spend his money when I mad at him.” She laughed.

When she ran her fingers through her hair, he noticed she didn’t have her ring on. “So where’s your ring?”

“In the drawer, I refuse to wear it if our so called relationship is going to be like this and if he wants to cheat. I don’t even know if I want to be with him anymore, I mean don’t get me wrong, I love him to death but I’m not going to keep somebody who doesn’t want to be kept. I don’t mind co-parenting.”

Mykell had been trying to call Reneice for an hour straight and every time he got her voicemail. He was fuming. He had no idea where she was, he wanted to know if what MJ said was true. He knew his son had no reason to lie, but he wanted to hear it from Neicey’s mouth. He was happy that she was pregnant, that way she would quit her job, spend more time at home and they could repair their relationship. He was getting frustrated and annoyed because Kya was blowing his phone up. He wasn’t in the mood to talk to her and he had more important things to worry about.

Reneice
had fell asleep in Kamil’s guest bedroom, she took a much needed nap. She smelled something good in the air so she went downstairs to see what it was. She went to the kitchen where she found Kamil standing over the stove. He felt her presence, “Hey sleeping beauty,” he said without turning around.

“You got jokes huh?”

“No but you did sleep for five hours straight,” he laughed. “That pregnancy must be really getting to you.”

“Shut up punk, but what you cooking?”

“Chicken fajitas. I thought you might like something to eat before you go to work.”

“You're not coming in tonight?” she asked
.

“Only for a minute, then I gotta go.”
he explained.

“Oh,” she said sounding disappointed

“Cheer up big head, we can chill in my office til I leave.”

“What makes you think I want to chill with
you Boss Man?” She joked.

“Because you do, now shut up and eat.” he placed a plate of food in front of her.

*****

Mykell was going crazy. He called everyone he could think of asking them have they seen Neicey but nobody has seen her. When Lani came to pick up MJ, he asked her did they meet up earlier. She said no and he was confused because he thought she was the one Neicey was on the phone with earlier. He reached in his drawer for a blunt he had already
rolled; he needed something to calm his nerves. When he reached into the drawer, he saw her ring. He was shocked because since the day he put that ring on her finger, she had never taken it off, not even to shower.

Reneice
was standing behind the bar feeling sick. She figured her baby didn’t like the fajitas that she ate earlier. She felt the food coming up and made it to the bathroom just in time. She threw up for five minutes and Johnny sent one of the waitresses to check on her. She called Kamil to tell him she was sick.

“Wassup ma?”
he asked her.

“Mil. I’m sick, I don’t
think the baby liked those fajitas. I been throwing up for ten minutes.” she said sounding the way she felt.

“
Aww, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset the baby, you just go home and get some rest and feel better. As a matter of fact, take a couple of days off, don’t worry I’ll still pay you.”

“Thanks Boss Man, I really appreciate it.”

“No problem baby, you just get better.”

“Alright, I’ll call you when I get home.”

“Aight, one.”

Reneice
went back to the bar and told Johnny that she was leaving. She walked out to her car and was looking for her keys. She dug around in her purse but she couldn’t find them. Then, she felt something hit her in the back of the head and she fell to the ground! Her attacker began stomping her in her back and side. He then bent down and pulled her skirt up, exposing her panties. She started groaning and tried to scream but he punched her in the mouth. He pulled his dick out, pushed her panties to the side and forced himself inside her roughly. He kept pumping until he let off inside her.

“Tell Mykell’s bitch ass I said wassup.”
the attacker said before he heard footsteps and ran.

Johnny was looking for Reneice
to tell her she dropped her keys, but when he saw her lying on the ground bloody and unconscious he took out his cell phone and called 9-1-1 and stayed with her until they came.

Kamil came rushing into the emergency room looking for Neicey. He sped the whole way to the hospital. His heart broke when Johnny called him and told him what happened. He felt responsible because he should have stayed there then he would have been able to walk her to her car like he always does. When he walked into his room he wanted to break down and cry
. Reneice’s face was bruised and swollen. He walked over to her bed and kissed her forehead, she jumped and started screaming.

The nurse came in and put something in her IV that calmed her down. She explained to him that she was still traumatized from the incident and not to take it personal. He told her he understood, Neicey whispered with low eyes, “Don’t leave me Kamil,” before she went back to sleep.

Kamil looked for her phone and went through her contacts until he came across Micah’s name. He called and informed him about what was going on.

Lani, Mykell, and Micah all rushed into the emergency room. Mykell ran to the nurse
’s desk and asked if they had a Reneice Peak.

“She’s in room 201.”
they were informed, as they all took off in search of Neicey.

When they got to her room, everybody but Micah was taken back that she already had a visitor. He was sitting in a chair next to her bed, holding her hand and running his fingers through her hair. Mykell wanted to know who this nigga was that was acting like Neicey was his girl. Always being the level headed one, Mica
h went up to Kamil and shook his hand and thanked him for calling.

“Thanks for calling me man, I really appreciate it.”

“No problem, she talks about you all the time and I didn’t knew who else to call.”

What the fuck he
mean ‘all the time
’, Mykell thought.

“Yo, who are you?”
he angrily asked.

Kamil looked at
Mykell unfazed and replied, “I’m a friend.”

T
hen looked at Reneice, “A very good friend.”

Something about the way he said a very good friend struck a nerve with Mykell.

“Well I’m her fiancé, so you can go ahead and leave now.” he said mugging Kamil.

“Nah,” Kamil said defiantly. “She asked me not to leave her so I’ma
do just that.”

Sensing something about to pop off, Lani spoke up. She remembered him from the club awhile back so she formally introduced herself. “Hi, I’m Le’Lani.”

“Hey Le’Lani, she talks about you all the time but I’m Kamil.”

“Kamil, let me holler at you in the hallway for a minute,” Micah spoke.

Mykell’s mug never left his face as Kamil and Micah left the room.

“I know who you are and I know you care for her. She told me about you and I know you respect her relationship, but that knuckle head in there is just threatened. So I think you should let us take it from here and you come back in the morning. So that way it won’t be any problems.”

Kamil thought about it for a moment, and he agreed.

Chapter 9

The next morning, Kamil got up bright and early to go see Reneice. When he got there she was sitting up in her bed watching Jerry Springer.

“Don’t let me catch you on that show,” he said jokingly.

She smiled even though her lips were swollen, “Hey Boss Man, I mean if I still can call you that.”

“Why wouldn’t you be able to call me that? You been doing it for two years knucklehead.” He said kissing her forehead.

At that moment Mykell walked into the room. He cleared his throat to get their attention. It was something about this dude he didn’t like.

“Hey baby, how you feel?” he asked walking further into the room.

Reneice
sighed and said “I feel exactly how I look, like shit. I’m just ready to get out of here so I can get back to work.”

“
Uhn uhn, knucklehead what did I tell you yesterday?" Kamil asked sternly.

“I know Boss Man, but I’ma
need something to keep my mind off what happened. Plus I need to work as much as I can before I get too big.”

Kamil looked down at the mention of her being pregnant. She was so out of it yesterday that she didn't hear when the doctors said she had suffered a miscarriage.

She picked up on his sudden mood change and looked from him to Mykell.  All Mykell could do was look away.

“
Naw, y’all don't do that. Don’t tell me I lost my baby. Mykell please tell me I didn’t lose my baby. Whoever did this to me was looking for you, they didn’t have to kill my baby!” she began to cry.

“What you talking about baby? What you mean they
was looking for me?” He asked confused.

“When he got done raping me, he said tell Mykell’s bitch ass I said wassup. You made me lose my baby
Kell! Why? What did you do? He raped me and killed my baby!” she let out a gut wrenching wail that could be heard all throughout the hospital.

Kamil stepped out of the
room, he couldn’t bear to see her like that. That made his heart broken. He didn’t know what it would take but he would make Neicey his and save her from that sorry ass nigga of hers. She wouldn’t have to hurt any more.

The nurses came in and put some more sedative in
Reneice’s IV to calm her down. Mykell was lost, he didn’t know who could have done this to her just to get back at him. He couldn’t take seeing her like that and seeing her hurt. He knew that whoever did this would pay.

After
Reneice calmed down she drifted off to sleep. Mykell stayed and watched for a little before he left. He needed to be around his son right now and he wanted him to hear the news from him and not anybody else.

When he pulled up to his father’s house, he was sitting on the porch and MJ was playing in the yard. HIs father could tell by the look on his sons face that something was wrong.

“Talk to me Mykell.”

“She flipped when she found out about the baby, like I’ve never seen her like that before pop.”

“Just give her some time, losing a child is a hard thing, especially when you never got to meet them.”

“The killer part is he told me that whoever beat and raped her told her to tell me wassup. Now
I been out the game for a year so I’m appalled at who could be behind this.”

Noah was about to respond when Mykell’s phone
rung. Seeing that it was the hospital, he feared the worst.
