I open the door to find my youngest sister, Yevette. "what the hell Vette?! What are you doing here at this hour?!"
"I need help Silas (her deadbeat husband) has been drinking again and I cant take him beating on the kids. He is looking for us now, you have to hide us!" i open the door so that she can come in. she hands me her youngest child. and i take him with open arms. "come in and tell me what the hell is going on."
i lay the kids down in my bed and notice that they all have marks on their body.I examine their marks when the oldest one tells me that their daddy hits them. i instantly heat up with anger. i head back into the kitchen where Yevette is sitting at the table. "Do you want some coffee?" I asked her taking a deep breath. i am not prepared to listen to this. "yes i would love some." I hand her a mug of coffee and give her milk and sugar to go in it. As we sat in silence sipping our coffee, she finally breaks the silence. "how did your interview go?" "Vette, what the hell does that have to do with you knocking on my door at 2 am with kids who look like they have been beaten!" Tears filled her eyes, she tried to hold them back, but she just couldn't. "i cant take it anymore Sophia! he is drunk all the time, he cheats, he is never home, and now he is beating on the kids!"
"what?!! he is doing what?!"
"you heard me Sophia, don't make me repeat it." i instantly jump up and head to my closet. "what are you doing over there?" "oh just looking for my baseball bat! I've got some ass to kick. If he wants to beat on my family, he has another thing coming right for him and it is the fat end of this baseball bat! that m'fer has me messed up with some other bitch, because i am not the one to be messed with neither is my family. blood is thicker than water!"
Yevette gets up and storms towards me knocking me off my balance. "What the hell are you doing Soph!! killing him wont make it better!!"
"yeah, but it will make me feel a whole lot better! What do you want to do then, just let him beat you and those kids?! Look Yevette, you either do something about this now, and fix your relationship, and by that i mean get out of it, or you can let me and Gloria handle it. you know that she will be home next week and i am sure she would love to kick some ass! especially his!!"
Gloria is our oldest sister who i live with. she is in the military and is away on leave for a few weeks.
"you know what, you have a decision to make here vette, you cant keep running and hiding from him, it is only going to get worse. you need to protect yourself and get out while you can. If you come over here again like this, I will not hesitate to gather up Gloria and we will not stop until he is dead. do i make myself clear?"
"yes, crystal clear." she said with a mean look in her eyes.
"you are more than welcome to stay here, or i can put you up in a hotel for a few days until he cools down and you are dumb enough to go back home."
"um well seeing how i am getting no where with you, I'll take the hotel." We gather up the kids and get in the car. I take them to a hotel about 20 miles north of Miami and pay for her to stay there for one week. I give her extra money for food and hug the kids good bye. "Remember what I said Yevette. I am dead serious, you need to get your life together and take care of these kids before someone else has to. here is 200 bucks that should be enough for food and gas, and don't even think about getting the money back from the hotel room and going back home."
"i wont, I will stay here and get my self together. But what if he contacts you?"
"honey, you don't worry about me, if my mouth don't scare him, my bat sure will!"
we both laughed. I gave her a big hug and told her i loved her and left. i jumped back in the car and headed back home. It is now 3:30 am and I am so tired. I stop by a 24 hour Krispy Kreme and get some coffee to hold me over until I got home.i dont drink coffee, but after tonight i will be making an exception. i get home and notice a car in my parking spot. I am way to tired to fight with anyone at this hour, so i decided to park across the street. As I am walking by wit my bat in my hand, a familiar voice calls my name.
"Sophia, Where is she?"
"Oh wouldn't you like to know Silas! how fucking dare you!! you beat on my sister and those kids! you are good for nothing!" He jumped out of his car and headed towards me. "come on over this way m'fer cause i got something for your ass!" I swung at him with my baseball bat hitting him square in the face. he instantly hit the ground with blood pouring out of his mouth.
I kneel down over him "that is what the hell you get, and if I ever find out that you put your greasy hands on my family again, you will regret the day you ever met Sophia Perez!" He is moaning for help and I just decided to kick him in the nuts one good time before walking away. I leave him bleeding on the sidewalk and walk into my apartment. I decide to take yet another shower, I make the water as hot as I can stand it and just stand there letting the water hit my back. I hear my phone ringing and just decide to let it ring. After about half an hour in the shower I get out. as i am drying off i look through my phone and see an oh so familiar name across my screen under my missed calls
Michael Williams-
There was a text from him-I'M HUNGRY, WHAT YOU GOT TO EAT?
I stare at the text with a smile on my face. yeah he stood me up, but he always seems to make up for it. i know I shouldn't but I want him so bad. "what the hell." i say aloud to myself
I AM UNLOCKING THE DOOR FOR 15 MINUTES.
He immediately responds I'LL BE THERE IN 10 AND PUT ON SOMETHING SEXY
I am instantly excited, but there is no way that i am getting myself all dolled up when his ass should have been her hours ago.
I decided on some boy shorts and a tank top. I blew dried my hair straight and unlocked the door.I look out the window and see that Silas is now gone but there is a big blood stain on the sidewalk. I didn't want to lay in the bed right now (just in case he was still moping around outside) so i just sat on the couch and waited on Mike to arrive. within fifteen minutes exactly i heard the door knob slowly turn. In walked my best friend Mike. "Lock the door behind you please" he nodded and locked the door.
He was tall with a built muscular frame. he was perfect in all the right places with a smile to match. He had on red basket ball shorts and a white v-neck tee shirt that hugged his muscles. he was so fine to me and i wanted him bad. The only problem was that he had a steady girlfriend of at least a year or more and he was a very good friend of mine since high school. He would come and hang out with me when he and her were having problems, which was all the time. At first, we would just talk and hang out, but then after one night of drinking, laughing and crying, it just sorta turned into a sexual thing, with no strings attached of course. So now I see him maybe twice a week for a "quick fix" as he likes to call it and I love every minute of it. he knows just how to please a woman in all the right places. Sometimes, I secretly wish he was all mine.
"Hey baby girl, I felt bad about earlier so I brought you some flowers." he said kissing me on the cheek
"They are beautiful, but where did you get flowers at 4:30 in the morning?"
He gives off this deep sexy laugh that sends chills down my spine. "Um Wal-mart is open 24/7 Sophs"
"well I guess you went cheap then! But hey it is the thought that counts right?" I sat the flowers in some water as he sits down on the couch. "are you hungry?" I yell at him from the kitchen not even thinking about the text that he sent me earlier. He gets up and walks in the kitchen. "oh yeah i am hungry, but not for food." he winks at me and walks towards me backing me into the counter. He lifts me on the counter top with my legs on either side of his body. His lips press against mine and his tongue swipes across my lips. I open my mouth to let him in deepening the kiss."I pull away trying to catch my breath, when he pulls me back towards him. He picks me up missionary style and carries me into the living room. I suddenly feel a soft cushion under my back as I realized that I landed on the couch. He is on top of me still kissing me, his lips trail off down my jaw line onto my neck. I start to moan a little when his tongue brushes my neck. he traces his tongue all over my upper body. I am getting really heated and wanting more. I sit up and take his shirt off. He lifts my shirt over my head exposing my breast. His face lights up when he sees my harden nipples. "what is that look for?" I asked him. "I just love your body. you are perfect in every way. If things were different, you would be all mine."
