past tense
Ky'mier stared off into space letting her thoughts wonder.
Thoughts of her baby girl who was taken from her too soon by her fiance taunts her as tears swelled up in her eyes
Ky'mier glanced at the time on the stove seeing it was 8 oclock, around the time Shone came home from work.
Ky'mier got up from her seat and walked in the kitchen to start preparing dinner for her and her soon to be husband.
Flashbacks of everything that she endured during her 5 year relationship with Shone played in her head like a movie.
Scene from scene.
Cry from cry.
argument from argument.
scream from scream.
It haunts her everyday. Especially what he did to her 4 month daughter.
A tear slowly cascaded down her face as the image of her breathless child laid on the floor of their bedroom with blood oozing from her head.
"Fuck" she mumbled feeling herself get chocked up
Wiping her tears, Ky'mier looked towards the door hearing the locks turn.
Shone walked in the house taking his boots off
"Wassup baby" he said walking in the kitchen as Ky'mier stirred the gumbo she had cooking on the stove
"Hey" she said emotionless as he kissed her cheek
Wasn't a hint of sadness, anger or joy in her tone.
"Whatchu got cooking?" he asked washing his hands
"Your favorite, my mommas gumbo" she said looking at him giving him an phony smile showcasing her pearly white teeth and two dimples
Shone fell for her smile when he met her. It had him head over hills
"Ouuu, whatchu cook this for?" he asked knowing she only cooks it when she got a surprise
Last time she cooked it was when she found out she was pregnant with their daughter
"I just wanted to show you some appreciation. You've been so good to me lately with the passing of Kamari and i wanna show you how thankful i am" she said turning around showing casing her hour glass body
Ky'mier was dressed in a black lingerie set and her black silk robe
"I just wanna show you how much i love you" she smiled running her hands thru her silk press
"Thank you baby, i love you more" he said kissing her lips
Ky'mier pressed her lips against his not feeling the spark she once felt 3 years ago.
His lips traveled down her cheek and down to her neck
Ky'mier stared off into space not feeling a single bit of enjoyment.
She remembered how sweet these moments with Shone used to be. Before he showed the monster he truly was
All she could think about was how sweet her revenge would feel.
"Okay baby, get settled. I'll make our plates" she said pulling away
"Aight" he smirked before walking off
Ky'mier felt oddly calm. She had no second thoughts for what she was about to do.
Ky'mier grabbed the rat poison from the cabinet and poured a bunch of it inside the boiling gumbo.
