IN STORES NOW!Excerpt from “That Was Dirty†“Bout time you decided to join me. I’ve been waiting for you. Where ya been friend?†Arrissa said in a psychotic tone. She had literally been living in Shantel’s apartment every night since she first went in there. “No bitch, don’t run.†Arrissa pointed a chrome .38 Special at Shantel as she started to back away towards the door. Shantel was past scared. This was the first time she had seen Arrissa since their falling out. “Don’t shoot me Arrissa. I’m sorryâ€, Shantel begged. “You’re sorry? You being sorry cannot bring my baby back Shantel! And it can’t fix my face either. Look what you did to me!†Arrissa screamed. She turned the light on revealing her scarred face. Shantel turned away from the sight. “So, you can’t look at me now, huh?†“I’m sorry Arrissa.†“Don’t cry now. Payback is a bitch. I told you it wasn’t over.†Arrissa grabbed Shantel by the hair and put the gun in her face. “We’re going to even the score, Shantelâ€, Arrissa said as she dragged Shantel to the dining area, in the front room. “Have a seat.†Arrissa waved the gun. She was more than happy to get revenge. Arrissa grabbed a pair of handcuffs and hooked them onto the chair where Shantel sat. Then she cuffed Shantel’s hands to the chair. “You always were a kinky bitchâ€, Arrissa said when she was done cuffing Shantel. “Now you stay right here and don’t move. I’ll be back before you know it.†Arrissa seemed to have truly lost her mind. She returned minutes later with some duct tape, Drano and bleach. “I have a special surprise for you.†Arrissa walked in the kitchen. She pulled out a medium-sized pot and filled it with water, Drano and bleach. Then she turned up the flame on the stove to high and put the pot on the flame. “What are you doing Arrissa?†Shantel cried. “You’ll see in a minute. Relax. I’m almost done.†Arrissa told Shantel when she came back in the room. Arrissa began to duct tape Shantel’s body and feet to the chair. “We have to make sure you can’t get awayâ€, Arrissa said evilly. Shantel didn’t know what to expect. It was clear Arrissa was capable of doing anything. “Arrissa! I said I was sorry, please let me go.†“Did you leave me alone when I asked you to? No Shantel! You didn’t! You attacked me and killed my baby. You killed my child.†Arrissa was crying. Then she went back into the bedroom. When she came back she had pictures in her hands. “See look! You can see its head, its little nose. That was my little baby Shantel, and you took it from me. Look at the pictures. You see all the clothes and toys I brought. The clothes we brought!†Arrissa screamed. Shantel was crying uncontrollably. “Yes, I see Arrissa. I see and I’m sorry. Please forgive me.†Shantel continued to cry. “If only you would have forgiven me. Look at my face Shantel. I used to be beautiful. I’m not pretty anymore. You stole my baby and my beauty, all in one night. Now it’s your turn. I think my little surprise is done. I can smell itâ€, Arrissa said almost whispering. Arrissa looked like a mad woman. Her hair was tossed all over the place because she hadn’t combed it in weeks. Then her clothes were wrinkled and had a slight odor. Arrissa went into the kitchen and grabbed the boiling pot off the stove. She began to stir it as she walked with it in the room with Shantel. “This shit smells strongâ€, Arrissa told Shantel as she held the pot away from her. “Have a sniff.†Arrissa put the boiling liquid under Shantel’s nose. Shantel began to cough as the vapors entered her lungs. “Oh my God! What is that?†Shantel cried. “Your surprise bitch!†Arrissa threw the boiling mixture on Shantel’s face and head. Her skin seemed to melt straight off her face as she screamed in agony.
