      My Ratchet Secret 5 - Midnite Love

      The Fat Lady Ain’t Sung

      Where the hell am I?

      I woke up in a state of confusion. It appeared that I was in a hospital bed, but how did I get here? There was a weird sensation on the left side of my head. And I couldn’t understand why my vision was so distorted. I attempted to touch the area that felt weird. However, I could barely move my arm due to the extensive number of machines I was hooked up to. After a bit of maneuvering, I managed to pat my head. It felt like it was gone! Despite my entire skull, along with the left side of my face being bandaged up, I could still feel a distinct indentation. Panic immediately set in. For the life of me I couldn’t remember how I’d gotten here. From what I could tell, it must have been something pretty serious. Did I have an accident? Did someone try to hurt me? I tried to scream but the tube in my throat wouldn’t allow it. The drugs that had been administered had me so heavily sedated that I couldn’t get up if wanted to. I don’t know what happened or how I ended up here but make no mistake, Pebbles is alive bitches!

      ****

      Getting On With Life

      If anyone would have told me that I could one day be happy again I would have called you a damn liar. I had lost everything. The person whom I believed to be my loving wife was an imposter. I was beaten to near death. I’d lost my son, my sanity, my will to live. And yet despite it all, God saw that I still persevered. It’s taken a lot to get to this point, and I take nothing for granted.

      I have my son back and we are working on making up for lost time and building a relationship. I have a new lady in my life. And yes she’s a real woman this time. I wasn’t playing any games this time around. I had her checked out extensively. Especially considering she would eventually move in with me and AJ. I ran her through every background check possible before I allowed her to lay her head in the same home my son resides in. He has been enough and I refuse to put him in harm’s way. My gut told me Jennifer was on the up and up, and I was right. Some people question how I was able to move on so soon after the tragedy that AJ and I suffered. The answer is quite simple. Jennifer was my saving grace while I was in therapy. She is smart, understanding, loving, and most of all she could empathize with my situation. In many ways we saved each other. It didn’t take long for me to develop feelings for her. And unlike when I was with Pebbles, I never feel like she’s hiding anything. It’s like we were soul mates destined to be together. The way our paths crossed I have no doubt in my mind that this is the person I was meant to be with.

      There was a time when I wouldn’t have rested, knowing that Pebbles was still alive. She’d been shot in the face by my son but somehow her wicked soul managed to survive. She was comatose in Mercy Hospital under police surveillance. When, and if she ever wakes up I pray that justice is served.

      These days I’m just happy to be alive myself and want nothing more than to move on with my life. I figured if her crazy ass didn’t die that means the universe has something far worse in store for her. Who was I to question it?

      I was jarred from my thoughts by the phone ringing. I glanced at the caller ID to see that it was Dorian. He had played a huge part in us catching Pebbles and finding my son, but he still hadn’t gotten over the fact that she was still alive.

      Hello

      What’s up? Dorian replied.

      Shit, I guess you heard the news huh?

      Yeah, that Pebbles is awake. Damn, I wish your son would have finished that damn shim off, he spat.

      They got her now. And she’s not going anywhere, I assured him.

      I don’t know how the hell you can be so calm. You must have forgotten who we are talking about. As long as Pebbles is alive she is a threat to society. I’m still having nightmares behind what she did to Fallyn. I can’t get that image of her lying there out of my mind. Me and my wife have separated behind this bullshit. I just don’t get you, Dorian replied in disgust.

      He was actually starting to piss me off. This shit he was sitting over there whining about was a cake walk compared to the hell Pebbles had put me through.

      Have you forgotten that she left me for dead? All the years she was out there with my child, she killed my sister. Shall I go on?

      Sensing the agitation in my voice he tried to back pedal.

      Aye man, I didn’t mean it like that. I know you done been through far worse....

      Exactly, I cut him off midsentence. I’ve been held captive too many years by this nightmare. To the point of me trying to commit suicide. I’m in a healthy place now and I refuse to give her any more energy.

      I feel you. I’m just not over that shit.

      Don’t get me wrong, I’m far from being over it. I’m still going to counseling. But as of now my main focus is making up for lost time with my son. I have a good woman in my corner that’s helping me get through this. We gon be alright.

      I can respect that. I’m glad to hear you are working through this. I need to take a page from your book, my ass is still running scared, he joked in an attempt to lighten up the mood.

      I laughed, I feel you man. But just know that they are watching her around the clock. She’s woke but she’s damn near on her death bed. I don’t think we have to worry about Pebbles hurting anyone else.

      I hope you’re right.

      What’s Really Going On?

      I’m just saying girl, I don’t know how you do it, Keke announced shaking her head. You better than me.

      She and Jennifer had been friends since their sophomore year of college despite their personalities being polar opposites. Jennifer was the slightly nerdy, girl next door type. While Keke was as ratchet as they came.

      Jennifer was a soft spoken thirty-four-year-old brainiac. Her ideal weekend consisted of curling up with a good novel, binge watching reruns of Jeopardy or catching up on the latest documentary on quantum physics. Her sandy brown high bun, freckled nose and horn rimmed glasses added to her almost school girl appearance. Yet she still had an understated sexiness about her despite the toll life had taken on her.

      Keke resembled a young Chaka Khan. Numerous tatts decorated her buttery walnut complexion. She had a dazzling white smile, and her thick, lush, naturally curly mane was as wild and free as her spirit.

      The unlikely pair would eventually bond because of their differences, not in spite of them.

      In Jennifer Keke found balance and stability. Unlike many of her other basic ass friends, she had her shit together and helped to keep her grounded whenever her party girl ways tried to take over.

      Keke was fiercely loyal and had helped Jennifer get though a rough period in her life. Her lighthearted humor and laid back demeanor helped Jennifer to loosen up and have fun. She taught her how to not take life so serious, and to take time to smell the roses. They were a perfect balance for each other.

      Jennifer shook her head and took a sip of her peach margarita as she listened to her friend’s usual critique of Adrian.

      I don’t know why you have to be so hard on him, she responded.

      Because I want you to be happy. You’ve been through enough shit for a lifetime, Keke replied with concern in her voice. This was a big step y’all took. I just want you to make sure you know what you are getting into.

      I know it’s a big step, but I keep telling you, I am happy. I love Adrian. He was so supportive of me during that bad time. I don’t know how I would have made it many days without his encouragement.

      Jennifer’s eye’s beamed just talking about Adrian. The bad time she was speaking of was the time she spent in group counseling. Her mother, father, and younger sister were all killed as the
