Serendipity

Delilah{42}

I don't why but I woke up 3 in the morning. I tired to go back to sleep but I couldn't. I got up and went to the bathroom. I walked back in the room to see Cleo still knocked out. I decided to go downstairs and get me some to drink. While in the kitchen I seen somebody walking in my backyard. I stood there just looking at them. They getting closer to the patio door so I backed up so they couldn't see me. They walked up and looked in the patio door and I finally seen who it was. It was Tobias. I heard somebody coming from downstairs and it was Bri.

"Bri..." I yelled lowly

She turned her head and I waved her over. She came to where I was and I pointed to the patio where Tobias was still standing.

"Who is that??" She asked

"Tobias..." I said looking at her

She started walking towards the patio door.

"What you doing??" I asked grabbing her arm

"I got it..." she said then I let her arm go

She reached into my kitchen drawer and pulling out a gun. She opened the patio door.

"The fuck you doing nigga??" She asked him

"I was looking for Delilah..." he said scared

"No the fuck you wasn't. You was peeking inside my house like a fucking creep..." I said

"Don't you got a restraining order against him already??" Bri asked looking at me and I nodded

She looked at him and shot him in the foot. Ian  go lie that shocked me. I looked at her with wide eyes.

"Next time I won't be so nice, stay away from her and her kids. Now hop your ass outta here before I put more holes in ya ass..." she said and he nodded

He turned around, hopped over the fence and fell. Which made us laugh. Bri closed the patio door back and locked it. We turned around and Cleo was standing by the island scaring us to death.

"Cleo man don't do that..." Bri said putting her gun back in the kitchen drawer

"Who was that??" She asked as I walked up to her

"I saw Tobias roaming around the background..." I said wrapping my arms around her

"What the fuck..." she said

"Same shit I was thinking..." I said looking up at her

"Why you didn't come get me??" She asked looking down at me

"I didn't call her. She just so happen to be coming downstairs..." I said and she nodded

"Y'all alright??" She asked looking at us

"I'm alright..." Bri said going back upstairs drinking some water

"How about you??" She asked looking back down at me rubbing my ass

"I'm okay. Thanks for asking..." I said smiling

She bent down and was finna kiss me. We heard a gun shot and a bullet few across both of our heads. After that more shot came through the patio door as we both dropped to the floor. I saw Bri flying back downstairs.

"I need to get upstairs to the boys..." I said raising up a bit

"They're good. You go in the washroom..." Bri said looking at me

"I'm no—..." I said but Cleo cut me off

"It's okay just go baby..." she said looking at me

"Okay..." I said before crawling to the washroom and closing the door

I heard more gunshots. Then everything got silent. Like 5 minutes later the door to the washroom opened and it was Cleo. She reached her hand out and I grabbed it. She pulled me up and pulled me to her.

"Is everything okay??" I asked looking at her

"Yeah everything is alright..." she said grabbing my hand

"Where's Bri??" I asked as we walked upstairs

"She's outside..." she said as we walked up into my room
"Sit in here with the boys. I'm going downstairs and I'll be back up in a minute..." she said leaving out the door but I grabbed her

"Cleo what's going on??" I asked at her

"I'll tell you once I come back up. Everything is fine, okay..." she said looking at me and I slowly nodded

She grabbed my face and pecked my lips twice before going back downstairs. I turned around where I seen Rhys and Geo in the corner.

"Come here..." I said holding my arms out and they ran to me

"Mommy what's going on??" Rhys asked looking at me

"I really don't know but everything is fine..." I said looking at him

"Mommy I'm scared..." Geo said with his lil eyes teary

"Awww baby..." I said hugging him
"Everything is all better now, okay..." I said and he nodded

"You alright??" I asked looking at Rhys

"Yeah it just scared me..." he said and I pulled him into me too

I laid down with them in my bed. Like 10 minutes they had fell asleep cuddled under me. After that like 25 minutes passed and I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Cleo and Bri appeared at the door.

"They alright??" Bri said standing at the door

"Yeah they are fine..." I said
"But what happened?? I asked sitting up then Geo wrapped his little body around me

"Well when I ran Tobias off the first time, he went to get like 4 or 5 niggas and they started shooting. That's when I came downstairs and you went in the washroom. You got a good one cuz this nigga shot 2 of them. One of them got shot twice so he was left behind and we questioned him. Of course Tobias sent them. We told him to keep in contact with us to tell us what Tobias is planning or he's dead..." Bri said looking at me and I nodded slowly

"You don't have anything to worry about babe. We got everything handled..." Cleo said looking at me and I nodded

"Help me put the boys back to bed..." I said looking at Cleo

She grabbed Rhys and I grabbed Geo. Geo got in the bed with Rhys which he didn't mind. I left the door open then Cleo and I got in bed.
