Ghetto Girls IV. Anthony Whyte
“Kim, she’s taking care of Junior. She’ll do the same for Roshawn,” Tina assured her.
Kim looked at her for a beat then glanced back at the detective.
“Can I at least get dressed?” she asked, sashaying with a frown.
“Sure, just don’t take all day. The chief doesn’t like to be kept waiting,” Kowalski smiled, patting Kim’s rotund ass.
“Okay, watch it now. Don’t let me have to go that sexual harassment route,” she said, smiling at Kowalski.
“Don’t you ever say those words again to me!”
Kim was startled and stared at the scowl on the detective’s face. It slowly dawned on her that the fury in his voice was real. He had taken her seriously. There was a misunderstanding.
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to—”
Kowalski was furious. He grabbed her shoulders and shook her violently. Kim’s fright showed in the white of her eyes. She gasped for breath.
“If you even hint at this again black bitch, I’ll put my foot so far up your fat-ass-”
“Hey be easy with my friend,” Tina interrupted, grabbing onto Kowalski’s arm. “I thought we had an appointment with your boss. You’re gonna shake the shit outta her. Let her go so she can go change. Mike, please let her go.”
Kowalski’s body slowly relaxed and he calmed down. He let out a loud sigh as Kim slipped away from his grip. The detective pulled Tina close and kissed her hard.
“Now where were we?” he asked.
“Huh uh…” she fumbled for an answer.
CHAPTER 4
They stood outside the hospital together, Josephine’s lips lazily clinging to a cigarette while peeking beneath her Gucci frames. Deedee’s wary eyes were hidden behind shades styled by Dolce and Gabanna. She was watching for any signs of her uncle’s return. Her mind was on Coco,. Deedee shifted her weight from one hip to the next. She glanced at the bodyguard sitting and waiting for any word from her uncle. Eric had instructed him to stay with the girls.
“Hey Deedee. Eric’s on his way,” he shouted after closing his cellphone.
“Thanks Big C,” Deedee said perking up.
“It’s about time them cops let him go,” Josephine said, inhaling so hard on the cigarette that her veins were bulging.
Deedee turned to look at her and then back to the busy early morning traffic of the city street. A black stretch rolled to a stop and the rear window came down.
“Hi Dee.”
“Sophia! Oh my. Where did you come from?” Deedee smiled.
Josephine smiled and her heart lifted when she saw Eric exiting the limousine. She smiled sheepishly at Eric and made a weak attempt at hugging him. His response seemed force and uncomfortable. Quickly, he dashed by her outstretched arms and hurried over to where Deedee stood flabbergasted. He hugged his niece and they walked closer to the limo. Josephine felt the rejection and made a promise to check him on his behavior later when they were in private.
She strolled slowly behind them, caught up in her thoughts. An internal alarm was triggered when she recognized that Sophia had traveled with him in the limo. Josephine quickened her pace and quickly caught up with Deedee and Eric as a jolt of jealousy coursed through her. Josephine stood back as they spoke.
“Hi uncle,” Dee said.
“Dee, are you okay? Sorry to leave you waiting.”
“It’s okay. I’m alright.”
“Heard anything yet?”
“They told us only family members could see her. I don’t know what’s up. They refused to talk to us. So we called her mother and I don’t know what happened,”
“You don’t know but that woman is likely drunk or cracked-out or both,” Josephine said, cutting Deedee off.
“Maybe, we don’t know for sure,” Deedee added.
“I called her and she sounded like something was up. She was sounding quite suspect to me,” Josephine said.
After speaking with the driver, Sophia got out of the stretch and joined them. Deedee gave her a long embrace and Josephine seemed confused as to whether to join them. Finally she entered the hug-fest. Her reluctance drew Eric’s attention.
After a few nervous heartbeats, the loud siren of an ambulance broke up their embrace.
Sophia broke free. She was tearing when she said, “I think I can get some information on her. What’s her full name?” she asked remembering that working with the D.A. had given her certain privileges.
“Coco Harvey,” Josephine spat, thinking about how Eric had spurned her.
“You guys stay in the lounge. Let me go check on her,” Sophia said and walked away.
They followed her into the hospital. Both girls sat and Eric continued standing for a moment, then he went after Sophia.
“Can I go with you as your assistant or something?”
“Something? No, I’ll do just fine,” Sophia said and left Eric standing in awe.
He watched her curves. Eric was still enchanted by Sophia’s moves. He smiled, shaking his head, and walked back to the waiting area. The look on his niece’s face brought him back to the reality of it all. He sat next to Deedee with his arm about her shoulder, completely ignoring the green-eyed glare Josephine wore. She quietly seethed.
Josephine stood with as much movement as possible and sashayed over to the vending machine. She bent over. In tight Prada jeans and Manolo four-inch heels, the roundness of her ass was on display. She checked her wallet and with an exaggerated swing of her hips, Josephine slowly strutted back to where Eric sat.
“Do yer have chinge fer a ten spot?” Josephine smiled with a mock southern drawl.
Eric reached into his pocket and fished out a couple dollars and some change. Josephine allowed the quarters to fall in his lap. She grabbed his crotch while retrieving them. All the time Deedee pretended to be asleep in her uncle’s arm.
“Do you want something from the machine?” Josephine smiled.
“Nah, I’m good,” Eric lazily replied.
“I’ll get you something that you won’t be able to resist.”
He eyed Josephine, who strutted back to the vending machine. She selected sweet and sour candy and a chocolate bar. He watched her sucking on the chocolate bar. She tossed him the candy.
“This is what I want to do to you,” she said.
Eric was in a daze between sleep and exhaustion. He didn’t make an attempt to catch the candy and the packet fell to the floor.
“Oops…my bad,” Josephine said and raced over. In retrieving the candy she rubbed Eric’s crotch and sat in his lap.
So involved was she in caressing Eric’s face, no one saw Sophia walk into the waiting area. She walked over to where they were.
“Alright, I hate to break up this nice family setting but I’ve got to get to work,” Sophia said after waiting a couple of stressful beats.
Eric jumped up so quickly Josephine almost fell from his lap. Deedee opened her eyes, hoping for the best.
“What’s going on?” Deedee asked. “Did you see her?”
“No, but I spoke in length to the doctor caring for her.”
“Really, what did he say?” Josephine asked.
“Well, let’s
