“Mallory?”
“Yes?” Mallory respond.
“He will be there in an hour,” Tiffany informed her.
“Oh great I can’t wait.” Mallory was really excited about a man she never met, but again Tiffany brushed it off.
Messiah came back in the room drying his body off. Tiffany dozed off and he let her sleep while he got dressed. He knew he would have to wake her to find out where he was going. Messiah dressed in True Religion Jeans and a shirt with all black Gucci shoes. He had his dreads in a ponytail to keep the neatly coiled hair from getting wet. Now that he was all dressed and ready to go he let them fall over his shoulders. Messiah did a double take in the mirror just to make sure his appearance was on point.
“Tiffany baby,” he said shaking her lightly.
“What Messiah?” She forgot that she had asked him to go over to Mallory’s.
“Where am I going?” He smelled so good that she had to sit up and take a look for herself.
“Damn boo you looking sexy.” She was getting tight about this shit.
“Girl fall back, this is business.” Messiah laughed at her. She told him where he was headed and he kissed her and was out the door.
The location was about thirty minutes away from their duck off. Messiah didn’t ride out alone often, but when he did he always had the ladies turning heads. That was cool with him that they looked, but he had eyes and love for one woman. Yet he will still make the woman feel special by blowing the horn letting them know that he see them.
Messiah pulled up to the huge crib and he was beyond shocked because he knew this was a big ticket. He understood this is why Tiffany didn’t want to throw in the towel. He stepped from the ride heading to the door, taking the steps two at a time, which was a diehard habit he developed as a kid. He was about to knock on the door, but it opened before he could even touch it. “Messiah long time no see,” Mallory stated. He shook his head because he wasn’t in the mood for this shit, the extreme of this woman’s fucked up mind.
“Ain’t this a bitch!” Messiah said to himself.
“Nice to see you too.” Mallory said with a smile and Messiah stepped inside and closed the door.
Seven years ago when Messiah was hustling he met Mallory at a nightclub in his hometown. He could tell she had money by the designer labels she sported and he digged that. Being the man he was, he stepped to her and offered to buy her a drink and she accepted. Her one drink turned into five. When the club closed he made sure she got back to her college dorm safe. The next morning he brought her breakfast and she was so grateful for him. Mallory’s college major was in chemical engineering and it was the first break she took and loved it. Their relationship started off smoothly, they began to go on little dates and sometimes he brought her to the hood.
Mallory’s family is veterans in the game so she didn’t mind Messiah having his share of the cake because she just seen so much more in him. They spent so much time together within a year they labeled themselves lovers, she had even introduced him to her parents. Mallory started to have thoughts about moving into Messiah’s apartment with him because she spent most of her time there anyway. Messiah was only living life and taking it as it was given to him, he didn’t have a care in the world besides being caught up in the streets. Of course he had his little playthings away from home because with the dope came hoes by the dozen. Messiah couldn’t complain about his life and how far he’d come, this was his prime years. He was just getting in the groove of things; the fast money, a bad bitch, and an apartment drove him wild.
One night Messiah came home from a long day of hustling on the block to find Mallory sitting on the new sofa set he purchased. The look on her face let him know she was mad about something and he
