She couldn’t stop staring. Her brown eyes just glazed over as he walked into the room. She was nervous. He was very attractive tall, muscular, blonde, and a doctor. The two of them said nothing. The room was a bit cold but she liked it. As he moved closer to her she broke out in a sweat. Beads of liquid started to drift lazily off of her brown skin as if she were a piece of fruit covered in morning dew. He put his hands on her shoulder it was comforting she looked at his strong hands and noticed that his wristwatch had diamonds on the band. Nicki Jackal was on the bed without anything on except a gown her panties were left on the counter. She couldn’t believe that she was here doing this with such an attractive man.
She spread her legs and he sat in front of her. She closed her eyes as he began to move his hands to the warm center between her legs. She bit her lip as he moved his hand around. He didn’t talk and she could see that his eyes were focused on what was under her gown. She saw him reach for a silver instrument and she braced herself. This was her first time. Her eyes rolled back into her head as he pushed the silver tool inside of her. She was trembling as he moved the silver instrument up and down inside of her. Blood began to pour like lava from between her legs. It wasn’t long before tears began to drift from her warm brown eyes.
The act seemed to last a lifetime. With a loud clang she heard him drop the silver “toy” on the table. Her eyes were closed. She felt his strong hands on her shoulder again. She didn’t want to open them. “Ms. Jackal its over”. When she awoke she looked over at the table and noticed a small bloody creature lay mutilated next to the silver instrument. “You’re no longer pregnant”- said the doctor in a matter of fact tone. He walked out of the room and she noticed that he shook his head as he opened the door and left.
(Two days later…Monday 3:00pm May 20th 2013)
Nicki walked into her professor’s office. The couch was covered with papers needing to be graded. She would help him grade those later today. Law books were scattered all around the room on the floor and jammed on bookshelves. A large gavel sat on a stand in a display case. It was from one of the Supreme Court judges. Dr. Washington was on his computer watching a YouTube video of President Obama’s inauguration. From what she heard she could tell that the video had been edited to the “Imperial March” from Star Wars. She started to move the papers off the couch when he noticed her.
“Did you get it?”
“Yeah I did” she handed him his credit card. She saw his wedding ring fall off the table as he shifted to put the card back in his wallet.
“Thanks, you understand why I couldn’t go down there with you right?”
“Of course Drew” her arms were folded.
Dr. Drew Washington was the advisor for all the Pre-Law majors at Cleveland State University. Nicki was a senior and preparing for Law school in the fall. She was a straight “A” student and was in a committed affair with Dr. Washington since her sophomore year. No one had the faintest idea. The relationship was good for her career. After her grandmother died during her freshman year she had no one and struggled to pay her tuition. She talked to Dr. Washington and he helped her by comforting her during her loss. After a while he started paying her school bill, car note, and recently her abortion. Nicki had been offered three scholarships to a Law schools in New York. Dr. Washington was adamant about her staying in Ohio. She was here today to end their relationship and he had no idea.
“I’m going to school in New York”.
She knew he was upset he was turning beet red.
“After all I’ve done for you this is how you repay me?”
“Drew, I’m very appreciative but I can’t do this anymore-“
“Cut the crap Nicki I know what this is about I’m not leaving my wife”
“You don’t have to I’ll be in New York”.
He was shaking now. He turned back to his computer. She was crying. Truth was she knew this affair was wrong. Dr. Washington seemed so caring in the beginning. She cried, when he had offered to pay her school bill her sophomore year. After that they were eating lunch together and she helped him grade papers. One night they got snowed in after grades had been turned in. It was late and they were just in his office watching T.V when he started to talk about how his wife of ten years no longer loved him. That was the first and only time she saw him shed a tear. He put his head on her shoulder and next thing she knew they were making out in his office and from that point they became slaves to the ecstasy of an affair.
“I’ll pay you back for-“
“Get out and don’t ask me for another thing nigger”
The last word struck like a harpoon. She never would of imagined such and ugly word coming from such a beautiful man. Nicki headed towards the door and put her beautiful black hand on the doorknob and left the sulking white man.
Nicki drove back to her apartment she lived in Solon a well to do suburb a short drive from the school. As she fumbled for her keys to her apartment the door was nearly ripped off the hinges. Her roommate, Amber opened the door she made a face at Nicki.
“You forgot”
“Forgot what?” said Nicki as she maneuvered her way past her roommate.
“That you were coming to the photo event tonight”
“Amber I’m really tired I just want to go to bed”
“You can’t I’m sorry”
“Why not?”
“I told Ralph that he can use our apartment for his gaming group”
Nicki rolled her eyes at her roommate. Amber was her only friend she had in college. Nicki envied Amber she came from a two parent home both her parents were surgeons at the Cleveland Clinic. Amber always had money and never was concerned about the cost of anything. She loved fashion more than anything else. She was also an Art major. Tonight the two of them agreed to attend an event that catered only to according to the invitation: “Beautiful Nubian Queens”. The modeling agency came into Cleveland looking for the next Tyra Banks. Nicki and Amber were both beautiful. Amber’s sense of style made people look at her funny but both had a hard time walking through the mall without men trying to get their numbers. Nicki ran track in high school and was blessed with what men like to call “Thunder thighs” she kept her black hair relaxed and down. Amber was half Asian and had “good hair”. The envy of every “nappy” headed black girl.
Nicki angrily got dressed. She would not be staying here when Ralph and his dork friends with poor hygiene came and stunk up her apartment playing Dungeons and Dragons and Magic the gathering.
They arrived at the event. Girls were lined up around the building. It was Wednesday night and looked like there was a new dance club opening its doors. The two girls stood in line with all the other black girls. Nicki was on her iPhone the entire time reading old text messages from Drew. Amber was making friends. After about 30 minutes of waiting in line the doors opened. They all filed in. A skinny white man with a pink Mohawk and pink suit said in a very effeminate voice: “As you enter touch the crystal ball. If it turns red go through the door on your left if it is green go through the door on your right.”
“Oh I wonder what’s behind each door!” said an excited Amber.
“How long is this going to take?” mumbled Nicki.
“Quit being so anti-social!”
Nicki stuck her neck out to see what color the ball was turning. She saw that just about every girl except maybe three got the color green. Nicki hoped that it would turn green for her as well.
“We’re almost up!” said Amber as she moved in front of Nicki.
When Amber touched the ball it turned green. She grinned and marched through the right door. Nicki touched the ball and it turned red. She touched it again. It flashed red.
“Will you move!” said a tall manly girl behind her.
Nicki headed towards the door to the right. The man with the pink Mohawk walked towards her.
“I’m sorry girl but you have to go through the door over there!” said the man has he “switched” and moved his neck like a bird.
Nicki walked through the door on the left. The room was dark but she could see about five other girls. They were all removing the clothes and happily chatting. One of the girls was butt naked. Nicki raised her eyebrows and turned to walk out of the door. Still looking at the girls she almost walked straight into the two men that were now blocking the door. They were huge. Thick necks and huge muscles they had sunglasses on which was absurd to Nicki because the room was so dark.
“I’m not taking off my clothes excuse me”
One of the guards pushed her back. Nicki hated herself. Why did she have to come to this? The other girls were naked and walking through the hall towards the other room they never noticed her or the men who were obviously enjoying watching them undress.
“Okay I’ll go the other way…” Nicki turned as if she were going to go the other way but turned back and kicked the guard square in the groin. He didn’t flinch. Nicki was shocked that he didn’t feel any pain. What shocked her more was the large fist that collided with her face knocking her unconscious.
Nicki awoke twenty minutes later. She tried to move but couldn’t. She struggled again and realized she was hanging in chains and her clothes were gone. She couldn’t keep her eyes open but she managed to notice a strong hand near her neck feeling for a pulse. The hand had a wristwatch with diamonds on the band. The light hit off the diamonds and it energized her enough that she was able to look the man in the face a realize that it was the man who gave her an abortion and the same man that shook his head as he left her in that cold room. This silent blonde man looked at her again and shook his head and she blacked out.
