Family Tyme! Don't Get Caught Up!

“Damn! How! Why!” Blue said to himself. Blue did not know the time. He had no watch. He did not have a clock. The only thing he knew that it was sometime in the morning. He wasn’t sure of the day of the week but he knew he couldn’t sleep and he was missing his family something terrible. Blue sat up on the bed and just looked around. This was what he was reduced to. A 4x4 room sharing a toilet with another grown ass man with no air freshener. If he could just turn back the hands of time he would do everything differently. Blue stood up and walked over to the glass door. He was in jail! 37 years old, husband, father, provider, and now #j092508 an inmate. Why! Right now he should be home with his beautiful family. His beautiful soul mate, lover, and wife Jade. And their beautiful son Marquise. Blue walked over to the toilet and started to go to the bathroom. He looked around the dark room and decided he could hold it a little longer. He did not want to wake his cell mate with the sound of the toilet flushing. Blue laid back on the bed. Right now he knows his sexy wife would be lying on his chest and he would be running his fingers through her hair. Damn she is so gorgeous. She is so soft! Blue turned over on his stomach and pulled his letters out from underneath his pillow. God! The smell of the perfume filled the air and he closed his eyes and just remembers the last time he felt her soft hands rubbing his chest. He missed her so much. Blue closed his eyes and remembered the day that brought him here. Blue was driving his truck 2005 Ford explorer fully loaded! Right now he was on top of the world financially. He was about to make the biggest deal in his life. He was happy even thought he and his wife were not on the best terms but she’ll get over it! “I’ll give her a couple of thousand dollars. Give her a very nice romantic evening and take care of that kitty kat and she will be okay”, he thought to himself. Blue was feeling a little bad! He picked up his cell phone and called her. Blue waited and in about one minute the sweet sound of his wife came over the line. “Hey you”, he said. He could feel the anger in her voice. “I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you and I wanted you to know that I love you and the other night was wonderful. We need more time for us.” Jade was angry but she knew he was correct! “I know Blue I love you too. I miss you”, Jade said. “Boo it’s us against the world right!” Blue asked her. “Yes, us against the world”, she said. Blue then told her how much everything was going to be fine that he had to take care of some business. He told her again how much he was sorry about the argument they had earlier that week but, they were going to be fine. He said his good bye’s and hung up. Now that smoothing things over with his wife was over he could focus on the business in front of him. Blue had to hurry, it was getting close to time he had his important meeting. He started talking out loud to himself. “I am the ****** man! King Kong ain’t got nothing on me!” he said. After this deal of $200,000.00 he was going to be the motherfucking man! He just knew it was all about him. Blue pulled up to the usually meeting point. But he just didn’t feel right. He pulled off and went to the apartment to switch cars. He took the bag out of the back seat of the truck and placed it in the Dodge Neon. He locked up the truck and went back to the meeting spot. He sat there and waited for the meeting to go down. He took a deep breath. He closed his eyes for a second. After this last meeting everything will be smooth sailing. He would have money on the side, all bills will be paid and his family will be straight. He laughed to himself. Child support is a bitch. It has reduced him to a life style he thought he would never be a part of. His first wife robbed him of his youth and now the bitch is robbing his pockets. Blue knew he had to take care of his kids but to go broke!? That shit ain’t fair. You do have a life after divorce. He knew he made the biggest mistake of his life when he married his first wife; while he was still in high school, he was all of 18 years old! He thought it was going to be fun, an advantage. He had no idea at 18 years old he was signing up for such a down fall. He was a kid! His ex-wife 26 years old knew what she was doing. After everything they had 4 kids. Yes! 3 before he married his soul mate Jade. And he fucked up and he has a 5 year old daughter after his son with Jade. Blue was not proud of that at all. But what are you suppose to do when you are happily married with your soul mate your ex- wife is in your pockets and you can’t make money to support your new family! What! He went to talk and that bitch starting talking about how she still loved him and life could be easier with him paying child support for one kid instead of 3, one thing lead to another and she was pregnant! Yes! He knew he fucked up and for one whole year he lived a lie and did not tell Jade until the baby was born. To his surprise Jade is still by his side. She loves him! Jade did give him a run for his money. It was not easy! That was the hardest thing he ever had to tell someone he loved! The pain was going to be horrible! But what was worst, the fact that he was the person who created the pain that was going to be felt! It was very painful! Jade wanted a divorce the first time everything came out. She wouldn’t let him touch her for months. Not even kiss her. She was hurt, mad at everything! Blue just shook his head when he remembered that painful memory. That was five years ago. Now he was going to make a deal that would keep him straight for a minute! Blue looked around the big open parking lot. What was taken so long! This Kat is never late! Finally the green Jetta pulled on the side of the parking lot about ten car spots down. Blue waited for the window to roll down, the hand would come outside the car with a lit cigar. That was the signal. Blue opened the car door slowly. He took the bag out of the passenger sit. He took a deep breath; a lot was going to happen. Not only was this the biggest deal of his life this would put him on the map as that nigger! Blue walked over to the car. “Yo it’s all here!” Blue said. Blue stood up and something just did not feel right! The arm handed him his package. “All there dog!” the arm responded. Blue took the package and walked back to his car. Blue never looked back after his deals. But this time he just didn’t feel right. He looked back. He got into his car, and took a deep breath. This was it! It was over. He was that nigger. Just as he was going to turn the key to drive off the car door flew open, he felt a hand drake him out. Blue just knew he was dead! This nigger is setting me up! “Wait just take the car, take everything!” he said. Suddenly he felt a hard blow to his stomach. Blue doubled over and grabbed his stomach. Then he felt a kick from behind which landed him on the ground. Within seconds there were guns in his face. Blue just knew he was going to be murder! “Don’t move! It is the police!” said a voice. Blue just lay on the ground with his hands in the air. Everything just started spinning. Boy did he **** UP BIG TIME! Once Blue got off of the ground they handcuffed him and he looked around. This was big. He was arrested by the DEA! The first thing he knew he had to do was call his wife to calm her down before he told her what was to come! But he was relieved because it was the cops! Blue opened his eyes the cell was still dark. He still did not know what time it was. He couldn’t hold it anymore. He went back over to the toilet and relieved himself and flushed at the same time. He did not want his cell mate to smell his urine. Blue realized he couldn’t read or do anything but go back to sleep until they opened the door.
