Serendipity

Cleo[43]

The next morning Delilah called someone to put the windows from the patio door back in. Once they were done I swept up the glass. Bri took the boys out for a fun day and to get ice cream. Delilah was sitting on the couch on her phone. I sat beside her and she looked up.

"You alright??" I asked looking at her

"Yeah just last night was a lot..." She said leaving her head back

"Yeah I know. Probably never experience nothing like that before, huh..." I said and she nodded
"Everything is going to be fine. Long as I'm with you, you're safe..." I said looking down at her

"Awww..." she said grabbing my face and kissing me

"I just can't believe he popped up here at 3. Then he was standing in the dark looking into the house. Ain't no telling what he was gone to do if Bri and I didn't see him..." She said

"I don't know what made him do that. He know he can get locked up cuz you already got a restraining order against him..." I said shaking my head

"I just don't get why he's so obsessed and determined..." she said

"Of course he still wants you. Then he's upset that I won't let him see or be in Geo's life. Us being together is a add on so he's salty..." I said

"Yeah that makes sense. He don't gotta be a fucking stalker and weirdo. The shit he's doing is fucking creepy..." She said

"Well as long as I'm here he will never be able to do anything to you or the boys..." I said pulling her closer to me and kissed her forehead

"I need to go home and get some clothes..." I said

"I thought you was going home today??" She asked looking at me

"I was but after what happened last night. I need to stay to make sure y'all are alright..." I said looking at her

"Bri's here, I'm sure we'll fine. You said you needed to go home today so go home. I'll call if something feels off. I'm sure Sunny and Reese misses you..." She said

"You sure you don't need me to stay??" I asked

"I'm sure. Get a few days at home then come back..." she said smiling

"Alright but if something feels off, I'm coming back..." I said

"That's okay..." she said

Delilah and I sat in the front room just talking. After like a hour later Bri and the boys came back. I stayed for another hour then I went upstairs. I started gathering all my things and Delilah walked in the room with a smile.

"Why you smiling??" I asked looking at her as I sat my duffle bag down

"Nothing. I'm going to miss you..." she said wrapping her arms around my waist

"Imma Miss you too Baby..." she said looking down at her smiling

"When you tell Geo you bout to leave he gone fall out..." she said making me laugh

"I know. He's gotten so comfortable with me..." I said smiling

"Well I'm bout to head out..." I said grabbing her face and pulled her in

Our lips connected and we instantly started tongue kissing. I put one hand on each side of her face and pulled her closer. She started to pull away but I pulled her back. Honestly I could kiss her all day everyday forreal.

My phone started ringing and I pulled away. We both were breathing hella hard. We were looking in each other's eyes as I got in my phone outta my pocket. I looked at the caller ID and it was Reese. I answered it.

"Hey wassup..." I said

"A man brung a package for you. Did you order anything??" She said

"No, how did the man look??" I asked

"Has a short hair cut with a facial hair..." she said

"Alright. Don't open it I'm leaving Delilah's house now..." I said before we hung up

"What wrong??" Delilah asked as I grabbed my duffle bag

"Tobias been to my house and dropped off something..." I said

"How he know where you stay if you been here??" She asked

"I don't know but I need to get home..." I said as we made downstairs

I said bye to the boys and Bri, I gave Delilah her last kiss and I headed home. While on my way home I noticed that a black car was following me. Each move I made, they did too. I took my gun out the glove compartment and sat in my lap just in case whoever this is try to do something. I drove for a hour and a half just hitting random corners and blocks. I finally lost them and I got back on track to the house. I made it to the house, put the gun back in the glove compartment, grabbed my stuff and went in the house. I put my key in, opened the door and went in. I didn't see Sunny and Reese so I assumed they were in their room.

"CLEO THAT'S YOU??" I heard Sunny yell

"YEAH..." I said then I heard her coming downstairs

"How was the week??" She asked

"It was good. We had fun. She took me out and I was planning on taking her out one day but something came up and I ended up doing it another day..." I said sitting in the couch

"So I remember you saying you got to fighting at a store. What the fuck happened??" She said sitting on the couch also

"Okay so Delilah and I went into the store. I was getting stuff for us to have a lil picnic at the beach. So we went to the register but I had to go back to get something. I came back to the register and it was one of the boys who helped Tobias rape me. He gone have the nerve to ask me how was the baby. Before I knew it I jumped ova the register and whooped his ass..." I said

"What was Delilah doing??" Sunny asked

"She was shocked. She ain't know why I did what I did and she wasn't expecting that. But when the nigga got on top of me she pushed him off me..." I said

"I like..." she said while nodding her head

"Bro last night some shit went down at the house..." I said looking at her

"What happened??" She asked turning towards me

"Bruhh it was in the middle of the night and I heard a fucking gunshot, so I instantly got up. I went downstairs to see what's going on. They said that Tobias was in the backyard peeking through Delilah's patio door. Delilah's cousin Bri shot him in the foot and sent him back over the gate..." I said

"Oh Bri a gangsta..." Sunny said looking at me

"Mane she raw..." I said
"So after they told me everything, Bri had went back upstairs while Delilah and I were still in the kitchen. Bruhh before we could even kiss I just seen a bullet go pass our face. We dropped to the ground and we heard more shooting. Bri flew downstairs and told Delilah to go in the washroom. She handed me a gun and we just started shooting. I shot 2 niggas then she shot one of the niggas I shot and he dropped. Bri and I went to him and of course he was with Tobias. Bri told him he had to keep in contact with us and let us know what Tobias got planned or that's his ass..." I said finishing it off

"Damnnnn..." she said and I nodded
