Get You

Plans

As we are rushing through the hallways to get to Kareem, I have this feeling of not being worried. I can't tell you what it is but I know he is alright. When we make it to the room the nurse says that only one can go in at a time. I turn to King and start taking a deep breath and trying to make myself relax. When I turn to the door I wait a couple of minutes because I am trying to build the courage. I finally get the courage to open the door a little bit and I see Kareem on his phone eating some nuts out of one had. Now I'm confused because why the hell is it only one visitor.

When I open the door fully this fool falls back and puts his phone down, the nuts fall out of his hand and onto the floor. I am so upset and amused at the same time cause what bullshit is he pulling.

"Kareem I already saw you, get your ass up!" He didn't move one muscle. I walked up to the bed leaving the door open and held his nose and covered his mouth. I looked over the bed and saw he was connected to nothing but an IV. The monitors aren't even monitoring shit. Finally I see him open one eye a little bit, I pulled back and let him get up.

"I should have just laid here when she said yall arrived, what took you so long to come into the damn room? I thought it was a mistake and started snacking, blew my whole cover." I kissed him on the cheek, I wanted to laugh but I was highkey irritated.

"Kareem what is all this for? Why did you scare the family like this?" He pulled up his gown to show that he was indeed shot.

"Oppurtunity, they said that mom hung up before they could explain anything and I wanted to scare you a little. Also I got grazed in a totally unrelated incident than the situation that we currently have going on surprisingly. Some punk was robbing a store and I was in there, I couldn't even get a word out before he fired one off." All the family had shuffled in and I let his mama fawn over him, because all of this extra is getting out of hand and I want my family afe at this point.

After getting Kareem discharged we were on our home, and as much as I wanted to love on him we had shit to talk about. The kids were all over him and he played with them until it time for them to take a nap. Once my babies were settled I sat beside him on the couch and kissed his lips. He grabbed my face and held me there. There was a moment no talking but the communication was all there. There was a shift in our relationship an intimate one, it was like everything just clicked. If I didn't already know that this was my soul mate, this moment just confirmed it.

I held on to him avoiding his arm where he was grazed by the bullet. He kissed me and wwhispered, "I love you so much." He buried his face in my neck and just breathed in, I said the same thing back as tears were coming out of my eyes. All of this was getting to me, it was time to end this shit with Victor. I pulled away and gave him one last kiss, I looked into his eyes not saying anything.

Kareem nodded and said, "Its time to finish all of this." I let out a breath because we are about to corner a rabid dog.

"Who is Joe?" I asked because if we can get Joe, then we can get Victor. Kareem just looked at me like bitch, what? I got my mac and pulled up a picture.

Kareem looked at for a split second, "That's Joe Narvaez, pretty big supplier from up north. I personally have never dealt with him, he didn't bother me so I didn't bother him. Why?"

I licked my lips and looked at Kareem, "Since I cornered Victor, he has been helping him out by sending money. Joe is looking for his niece, who I think is me. Have you been able to pull any info from my past at all?" Kareem stared at the picture and then back at me shaking his head.
