At the hotel, the woman and Passion layed together and just held each other. Passion sat up, "When this is finally all over, can we go somewhere far away? Just me and you?" The woman rubbed her face, "Of course babe, we can go wherever you wanna go". "Yesssssss, I'm thinking an island, somewhere like - -", a call came in from Stank. "Ughhh, what does he want!" "You gotta answer, we can't risk getting caught". "Ugh fine". "Hello". "Yo, where you at girl? A nxgga hungry as hell. You making dinner or we going out?", he asked. "I'm handling some business, I can stop by the grocery store on my way back, what you want?" "It don't even matter, a nxgga hungry though. Hurry yo axx up". He hung up and Passion threw her phone. "I don't wanna leave you!", Passion grabbed the woman. "Before you know it, we'll be together. Until then let's keep this plan going". They kissed each other one last time and headed to the door. The woman looked out into the hallway. "Go ahead, wait till you get 15 minutes down the road and let me know so I can leave".
Passion did as the woman said. As she turned the burner phone off, a call came through on her main phone. It was the doctor. She answered. "Hello Natalie, sorry to bother you but could you come by the office? I have something I need to discuss with you". "Ugh, what's wrong now?! I'm on my way".
When she arrived, the doctor led her to his office. "Uh, Ms. Simone came in for a visit with the nurse today. She told her she think she found the right family to adopt. Said she the baby will be close. She also requested to take the baby right away. She doesn't want any interaction". Passion let out a long sigh, "Nothing seems to be going right anymore!" I swear I gotta do everything". "One more thing, she has requested a different doctor to deliver". Passion became very angry. "I tell you what, if either of you wants to get paid in full, you better figure out a way to be in that delivery room and make sure she keeps that child". She turned to leave but stopped in her tracks and turned back sharply, "Where is the nurse anyway?" "Oh, she left early, she said she had something to take care of", the doctor answered. Passion left the office, slamming the door behind her.
She arrived at the grocery store. She walked down the aisles trying to decide what to get. She pulled out her phone to text Stank and ask him what he wanted. Just as she sent the message and looked up, she ran her buggy into another. "Oh my, I'm so sorry", she said but then she saw who stood in front of her. It was Pete. "Time to be messy since she wanna ignore me", Passion thought. "OMG Pete, wassup! I haven't seen you in forever. How you been? Oh congrats on the baby by the way", she said as she reached out to hug him. "Wassup Passion. What baby you talking bout?" "Oh Cinnamon didn't tell you yet??? Opps, she said she was going to". He became so pale. "Cinnamon pregnant for real?" "Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. It was good seeing you though Pete", she tried to hurry away. He grabbed her arm, "Passion wait, my phone in the car. Please get my number and send me Cinnamon's number later. I gotta talk to her". She put the number in her phone. "I sent a text letting you know it's me. Just let me know when you're ready for it". She continued down the aisle with a devilish grin on her face.
Cinnamon sat on the couch flipping through the channels. She still was ignoring Passion. She didn't leave out the house much anymore. If she needed something she would ask Luke to bring it. He was on the way with her food now. A call from Stank came in. She rolled her eyes and silenced her phone. She thought for a moment and decided to answer anyway. "What do you want?" "Dxmn girl why you acting all stank?", he laughed. "I'm not in the mood, what do you want for real?" "My bad, I was around the way. I just wanted to come check on you, make sure you okay". She rolled her eyes once more, "I don't care".
About 10 minutes later, Luke arrived with her food. He told his right hand man to stay in the car, he wouldn't be long. He called and told her he was outside, and she told him come in. When he walked in the door her face lit up with excitement. She took the food and hugged him, "What a life saver! I could just kiss you!" "Whoah, let me get my lips right first", he joked. "Boy please, I don't know know where them lips been! How much I owe you?" "You and my stepson good", he laughed. "But seriously, how you holding up? Everything straight?" "I guess I'm okay. I haven't been talking to Passion. I'm still upset. I did tell the nurse I was thinking about adoption and requested a new doctor for delivery, just to throw her off". "Good move, but you can't ignore her. She gone know something up then". "I guess you right. You sure I don't owe you?" "Positive. Look i can't stay long, my boy waiting outside. Reach out to her. Remember keep them enemies close but stay one up". She walked him outside. "Thank you so much Luke. I owe you". "Anytime, anytime. Just call if you need me". Just as she hugged him, Stank pulled up. "What the fxck", he said as he watched them hug. He got out and proceeded to the door. As he got to the porch, him and Luke made eye contact. Luke just stared him down and got in his car and pulled off.
In the car, Luke's man asked him, "I gotta know, how you feel tryna get with this chick knowing you had her pops killed?" "She don't know that. Ain't like I want her for the money or nothing. I been after her for years. OG woulda never approved. Hell she don't even know he dealt drugs. That's why I became her weed man, to pursue her. Besides, that punk axx boy that was just there not gon be able to care for her and that baby like me". The guy sat up, "Wait, Stank her baby daddy?" Luke nodded. "So the one that ordered her pop's death tryna be step daddy and the one that helped kill him, the baby daddy??" "Stank was who took him out?", Luke looked to him. "No, but I sent him as extra muscle". Luke stroked his chin hair, "Well all is fair in love and war". "Um, um, um, the poor little girl. If only she knew".
