Chapter 7
Talib awoke with a start when he felt something cold being put on his forehead. He groaned and tried to open his eyes, but his left one seemed sewn shut. He could barely focus his other eye on the shape before him.
Talib: "Terina?" she nodded as she continued to apply ice to the swollen parts of his face.
Terina: "He really did a number on you Talib, you should see yourself, I think he might of broke your nose and there is a really big gash in your forehead.."
Talib: "Terina.."
Terina: "Don't talk Stupid, if you think you have a headache now, you wait..just lie there.." he voice seemed distant and cold and she wouldn't look him in the eye. He reached out a hand to gently brush her cheek but she pushed it away.
Terina: "Talib! Stay still, I don't want you damaging anything more!" she snapped.
Talib: "Terina..are you..ok?" he managed to get out. For a moment she looked as though she were about to cry and a softness came over her face. But it didn't last long and before Talib was sure what he'd seen, she'd reorganized her features back into tough Terina.
Terina: "You shouldn't be the one to ask that"
Talib: "But I need.."
Terina: "I'm fine!" she snapped. Talib didn't say anything else, he closed his eyes and just intensed on her gentle touch, slowly soothing the pain throughout his face. Slowly she worked her way down to his throat and then to his bare chest. He realized she must have taken off his shirt. He felt something wet dripping on his bare skin and opened his eyes to see what it was. Terina's teardrops. He was about to reach out a hand to brush them away when he felt a searing pain beneath her fingers and he groaned and grabbed her hands away.
Terina: "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean.." she cried out and then pulled her hands away and sat back from the bed where he lay. She covered her mouth with her hands, trying to muffle sobs.
Talib: "No! Terina..I.." he reached out and gently traced a tear path down her cheek. He took her hand and slowly pulled her back to him.
Talib: "Please Terina..don't shut me out" Finally he caught her eyes and held them. Suddenly the dam broke and she climbed onto the bed beside him and rested her head on his chest, letting the tears and cries come naturally. He gently stroked her hair, trying to ignore the pain in his chest as best he could. After a few minutes she began to quiet down and whisper through her tears.
Terina: "Oh Talib..I was so afraid, I thought he was going to kill me, when you came..I was never so happy to see anyone in my life, but you were..I thought you were dead.." she couldn't go on.
Talib(murmured softly): "It's going to be ok darling..", wishing he could believe his own words.

Police Officers: "Excuse me Sir, we're sorry to bother you, are you Stevie Wilson?"
Stevie: "Yes, that's me, how can I help you"
Police Officers: "Well, I'm officer Hutch and this is Officer Davidson, we had a phone call reporting someone coming to your house with the intent of harming you. You look ok to me Sir, anyhow, it was supposedly a Talib Kareem coming here, do you know anything about that?" Stevie smiled.
Stevie: "Oh yes officers, Talib, right. This caller must have been mistaken, we had a little argument but its been forgotten now. He came over and we resolved it."
Police Officers: "Do you know where he was heading?"
Stevie: "No Sir, sorry"
Police Officers: "Well..thanks for your time. I guess that solves that case." The officers both gave him a smile and then walk back to their cruiser.
Chapter 8
Lamz: "Jiz!" Lamz nearly fell through the door. Jiz looked angrily at him.
Jiz: "What is it now Lamz?"
Lamz: "Talib..he..I.."
Zane: "Slow down sista!!" Zane jokingly from the other side of the room.
Jamal: "What happened?" Lamz took a deep breath and tried again.
Lamz: "We thought that something weird was going on between Terina and her boyfriend and I think Talib flew home, I don't know..but he hasn't come back and we have to be on stage in two hours and I don't know what to think.."
Jiz asked (innocently): "Who's Terina?"
Zane: "Wasn't she the model from 'Vogue'?"
Lamz: "No! She's the girl he grew up with, y'know, his best friend?"
Jamal: "Oh, I remember her.."
Jiz: "I'm sure he'll be here"
Zane: "So what if he misses the concert, we have plenty of excuses"
Lamz(frustrated): "You don't get the point!".
Jamal: "Ok, what's the point Lamz?", he'd never known Lamz to get really upset as he was now unless it was over something very important.
Lamz: "I think this guy might be dangerous."
Zane: "Are you saying he might of hurt Talib?"
Lamz: "YES!"
Zane: "Well why didn't you say so?"
>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<
Talib: "Terina, wake up" Talib gently shook her.
Terina: "What? Where.." she sat up and looked around and then looked down at Talib.
Terina: "Oh my God..Talib..your face.." she hesitantly ran a hand over his swollen eye, making him wince.
Talib: "I know..leave it..I just heard two voices, then the door slammed..I haven't heard anything else, I think we're here alone.."
Terina: "You don't mean you think we should.." she looked towards the door. Talib nodded. She looked terrified and Talib reached up and brushed some hair out of her face.
Talib-"Terina..I.." he hesitated and Terina looked on hopefully. Finally he dropped his hand.
Talib: "I need you to help me get up" She quickly hid the disappointment she felt and got off the bed.
>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<
Police Officer: "What's that you say? A Imajin guy? my daughter loves you guys!"
Lamz: "Yes..Talib Kareem, we think.."
Police Officer: "Talib Kareem? He's a Imajin guy? He was just in town yesterday.."
Lamz: "He was? You saw him??"
Police Office: "Well no, we went to investigate a call about him, heard he was going to beat some guy, but the guy said they resolved their differences calmly and Talib went on his way.."
Lamz: "AND YOU BELIEVED HIM?! WHAT KIND OF A POLICE OFFICER ARE YOU??!"
>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<
Talib: "Ok Terina..on three alright?"
Terina: "Talib..are you sure you're up to this, you can barely stand!" They were about to try to ran down the door with their shoulders.
Terina: "You can't do it alone.." A thin smile fleeted across her lips.
Terina: "Talib Kareem! You are so sexist!" In one fluid motion she took a step back and kicked the door, knocking it off its pivots. Talib stared at her.
Talib: "Where the hell did you learn that?" She smiled and shrugged.
Talib continued to stare at her, and suddenly he grabbed her and kissed her hard. At first she was shocked, but then she responded and they both gave in to the desire that had been burning in them for some time. They were so wrapped up in each other that neither heard him approach..
Stevie hit Talib in the back of the head with the butt of his gun. Talib went limp in Terina's arms and as she drooping to the floor under his weight she screamed. Stevie pointed the gun at her..
Stevie: "You stupid b###h! If you'd just known your place with me none of this would'a happened! But no, you had to call in your little boyfriend, he throws a pretty good punch too, but there's no power behind it. I don't get why you'd want a ####ing wuss like him when you can have me. But God knows what goes on in you women's minds!" he watched disgustedly and she hold Talib's head in her lap and whispered comforting words to his unconscious form.
Stevie yelled: "LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU HOE!" he bent over and yanked her hair, forcing her too look at him. He observed the fear in her face with disgust and then slapped her so hard, he almost thought he'd broke her neck. Then he laughed when she looked back at him with hatred in her eyes.
Terina: "Go on, kill me, put me out of my misery" He smiled evilly.
Stevie: "You wish I would don't you, but after you treated me the way you did, you don't even deserve that..how about this..I put a hole in your boyfriend here's head, and then you and I go up to the bedroom.." he pointed the gun to Talib's head.
Terina screamed: "YOU BASTARD!" shielding Talib with her own body, but Stevie kicked her away.
Stevie: "You little whore! You've been sleeping with him while seeing me haven't you?! Well, you'll soon learn not to mess with me!!" He turned his attentiveness back to Talib, who was just beginning to stir.
Stevie: "Say 'goodbye' asshole.."
