The Lyon Lie (Hakeem Lyon Love Story)

Chapter 32- Commit

~Cartiér's POV~

"Jamal We Gotta Talk" I Said Coming In Our Room.

Jamal And I Still Hadn't Moved Out Of The Condo. It Was Just So Comfy To Be Outside The City.

"Wassup" He Was Laying On The Bed Watching T.V.

"Did You Know Hakeem's Leaving Empire?"

"He Mentioned It, But I Didn't Think He Was Going To Go Through With It"

"Jamal This Is Perfect. Hakeem Isn't Talking To Your Dad Anymore, Neither Is Andre, And Neither Is Cookie. Empire Is Open For Grabs. It's Just Us" I Said Smiling.

"Haa It Is"

"You Want To Celebrate?" I Asked

"When?"

"CreedMoore Is Throwing Hakeem A Party This Weekend"

"Sounds Perfect" He Smiled.

Jamal And I Were Headed Straight To The Top. I Could Feel It.

Jamal And I Were Just Chilling And Watching Tv When My Phone Vibrated. It Was A Text. From Hakeem.

From: Stupid Ass👊😒

I Want To Take You Out.

To: Stupid Ass👊😒

No.

From: Stupid Ass👊😒

Please... I Rented Out This Whole Restaurant. It's A Really Fancy Italian Spot. We Can Dress Up And Go All Out. Like Tonight Is All Us Bby😘

To: Stupid Ass👊😒

Why?

From: Stupid Ass👊😒

Please Just Go.

To: Stupid Ass👊😒

Fine.... But No BullShit Bruhh

I Decided To Go. I Had To Hear Hakeem Out. But The Minute He Started Talking BullShit It Was O.V

~Hakeem's POV~

I Decided After The Last Conversation I Had With Cartiér That I Was Never Letting Her Walk Away Again. I Was In Love With Her Crazy Ass. She Was The Only Woman I Wanted In My Life. FOREVER. So I Decided We're Going To Get Married.

I Went To My Jewler And Picked The Ring With The Biggest Diamond. It Had Two Pink Diamonds Next To It. I Had My Jewler Put A Rush Job On The Scribe For The Ring. It Would Say "Mrs.Lyon". She Would Finally Be Mine.

I Rushed To The Restaurant To Make Sure They Had Everything Set Up Right. It Was Perfect. I Was Never The Type To Do Cheesy Stuff, But Cartiér Has Me Acting All Types Of Brand New.

I Went To The Back Room To See If My Suprise Was Starting Back There. I Had My Dad Call In A Favor To Some Of His Old Friends. I Didn't Tell Him Why I Just Told Him I Needed Them.

I Had My Father Call Jagged Edge And Get Them To Perform Their Classic Hit Let's Get Married. Tonight Was Going To Be Perfect. I Could Feel It.

I Looked At Myself In The Mirror. I Had On A Dark Blue Pin Striped Suit With A Blue Bow Tie. I Felt In My Pocket And Found The Box With The Ring In It. Tonight Was The Night.

I Loved Cartiér. She Was The Only Person Who Wasn't Trying To Shape Me. She Let Me Be Me. And I Felt Comfortable To Be Myself Around Her. At First I Didn't Even Know Who I Was. My Dad Told Me I Was One Thing, Camilla Told Me I Was Another. But With Cartiér I Just Felt So Sure Of Myself, She Helped Me Embrace The Real Person I Was. I Know It Sounds Corny, But It Is What It Is.

I Heard The Door Open. I Looked Back And Looked At Cartiér. She Had On A Long Gorgeous Dress. She Could Make A Brown Sack Look Sexy. She Looked At Me. And I Seen It In Her Eyes. She Still Loved Me.

We Sat Down At The Table. It Had A White Table Cloth, A Crystal Vase Full Of Roses, 2 Glasses Of Water, And Our Silverware.

"This Is Nice" She Said Taking A Sip Of Water.

"You Look Breath Taking Cartiér"

"Thank You. You Look Nice Too Hakeem"

"Look, I Just Want To Apologize. I Know I Hurt You. And Everyday I Wish I Could Take It Back. Cartiér I'm In Love With You."

The Waiter Came Over.

"Could I Start You Two Off With Something To Drink And Maybe Some Soups Or Salad?" He Asked

"Can We Have A Bottle Of Your Finest Champagne. And I'd Take A House Salad With Ranch"

"I'd Like A Ceasar Salad" Cartiér Said.

"Okay. Those Should Be Out In A Few Minutes" He Said And Walked Back To The Kitchen.

"Hakeem Did You Love Her?" Cartiér Finally Asked After Minutes Of Silence.

"I'll Be Clear. I Had Love For Her. Like Over Time I Cared About Her And I Had Love For Her. I Wasn't In Love With Her"

"Then Why Are You Going To CreedMoore?"

"It's Not The Fact That I'm Upset Camilla And I Are Over. I'm Just Tired Of My Dad Not Letting Me Make My Own Decisions. I'm An Adult And I Want To Make Decisions Like One"

"Hakeem Why Did You Treat Me So Foul"

"It Wasn't Meant To Be Foul. I Just Felt Like I've Hurt Enough People. You, Tianna, Cookie, Jamal, Andre. I Just Didn't Want To Add Anybody Else To That List. I Knew The Moment I Looked In Your Beautiful Eyes I'd Be Right Back With You. Honestly I Wasn't Ready For That Big Of A Commitment, So I Went Back To What Was Comfortable Which Was Camilla. The Idea Of Loving You More Than I Loved Myself Was Scary For Me, But Cartiér I Would Do Anything For You. I Know You Won't Be Able To Forgive Me Yet, But I'll Do Whatever To Help You Start Opening Up To Me Again."

"I'll Try" She Said Softly

"Well Cheers To Trying" I Grabbed The Champagne And Poured It In Our Glasses.

After We Ate It Was Time For Jagged Edge To Come Out. I Sent A Text To Tell Them It Was Time. I Grabbed Her Hand And Took Her Over To The Stage. The Beat For The Song Slowly Played Softy.

"Cartiér I Know I Fucked Up A Whole Lot, But I Know I Will Do Better. Watching You Walk Away From Me Is The Hardest Thing I've Ever Done. And I Never Want To Do It Again. Cartiér I Want You In My Life Forever. I'm In Love With You. You Are My Eternity. These Past 3 Weeks I've Spent Without You In My Life Have Been Empty. I Can't Live Without You" I Grabbed Her And Softly Kissed Her Lips.

The Band Started Singing The Song. I Grabbed The Ring As They Started Singing The Chorus.

"Meet Me At The Altar In Your White Dress.

We Ain't Getting No Younger We Might As Well Do It

Been Feeling You All The While Girl I Must Confess

Girl Let's Just Get Married, I Just Wanna Get Married"

I Grabbed Cartiér And Turned Her Around. I Bent Down On My Knee.

"Hakeem" She Said Tears Falling From Her Eyes.

"Baby Let's Get Married" I Sang Softly.

~Oh Shit.... So CarKeem Is Back On....Should Cartiér Say Yes?

~I Been.Waiting To Writing This Chapter For Like Weeks Since.I Got This Idea.

~Also I'm Thinking Of Giving The Book A Big Finale. And Then Make A Sequel😘
