The Lyon Lie (Hakeem Lyon Love Story)

Chapter 40- Thinking

~Cartiér's POV~

Hakeem Stood Up And Looked At Me. Then He Turned Away. Then He Started Pacing.

I Wanted To Say Something. Anything To Keep Him From Leaving Me, But Words Failed Me. Karma Was A Bitch. A Big Bitch.

"I Can't Do This" He Said After Pacing The Room For 5 Minutes.

"Hakeem I'm Sorry"

"There's Nothing We Can Do. We Just Have To Wait"

"I'm Gonna Lose You Aren't I?" I Asked. Finally Voicing My Biggest Fear. "This Is Gonna Be What Finally Breaks Us?" I Asked My Voice Breaking.

"I-I Don't Know. But I Believe If It's In GOD'S Plan For Us To Be Together Then We Will Be Together"

"When Did You Get All Spiritual?"

"I Been Talking To Andre About GOD And Stuff, And He Said GOD Has A Plan For All Of Us. He Said If We Just Believe That GOD Is Working, And If We Stick To The Plan. We Will Receive What GOD Wants Us To, And We Will Fulfill Our Destiny." He Grabbed My Hand And Looked Into My Eyes. "Cartiér I Believe You Are My Destiny"

"Hakeem I Can't Lose You" I Said.

I Collapsed And Cried Into His Chest. I Had Been Holding In These Tears For A Couple Of Days. I Didn't Know What To Do. I Wanted This Baby To Be Hakeem's So Bad, But If It Wasn't His I Don't Know What Would Happen To Us.

"Hakeem I Really Can't Lose You. I Love You. You're The Only Man I Want. Hakeem Your Mine. I've Seen You With Somebody Else, I Never Want To Experience That Pain Again"

"You Won't Lose Me. Baby I Know We Can Get Through This. I Know We Will. You're My Wife. We Made A Covenant With GOD. Til Death Do Us Part Baby"

I Smiled At Hakeem. He Leaned Over And Kissed My Lips. I Pulled Him Down Over Me And Deepened The Kiss. He Picked Me Up And Took Me To His Bed.

"Isn't This How We Got Into This Situation?" I Smiled.

"Isn't This How We Fell In Love" He Said Kissing Me.

"Touché"

I Was In The Studio Working On My Song "Make It Like It Was" When Jamal Walked In.

"Can We Have A Minute?" Jamal Asked The Producer.

The Producer Left The Room And I Came Out The Booth.

"I Haven't Seen You In A Little Minute. Did You Move Out?" I Asked.

"No. I Just Been So Busy. Being The Head Of A Multimillion Dollar Company Is Hard" He Smiled.

"Oh. I Missed You. We Have Hella To Talk About"

"Meet Me At Leviticus Later. Right Now I Have To Talk Business"

"Aight.. Wassup?"

"First Thing, When Are You Thinking Of Dropping Your Album."

"I Don't Know Yet. I Still Have To Select Which Songs I'm Using. I've Recorded 15 Songs And I'm Only Using 12 For My Album."

"Well When You Figure That Out Let Me Know. The Hype From Roar Is Dying Down. That Means It's About To Be Primetime For You To Drop Your Album"

"Alright. I'll Get To You When I Narrow It Down"

"Also, Cookie Had A Good Idea"

"Oh Lord" I Rolled My Eyes Mockingly.

"Stop. It's A Really Good Idea. Cookie Thinks You Should Host A ShowCase Of Your Sound And Your Music. We're Thinking Something Small And Intimate"

"I Don't Know. I Mean It Sounds Good."

"Just Think On It. Okay?"

"Alright. Well I Gotta Get Back In The Studio. So Hit Me Up So We Can Go For Drinks? Aight"

"Cool." Jamal Left The Studio.

After I Wrapped Up The Song I Went Back To The Condo. I Was Laying Down On The Bed Rubbing My Stomach Thinking. Suddenly There Was A Knock On The Door. I Got Up And Looked Out The Peep Hole. It Was Damon.

"Wassup?" I Asked Opening The Door.

"My Mom Wanted To Know If Malani Could Stay Over For A Couple More Days"

"I Don't Know. I Miss My Baby"

"Please. My Mom Really Missed Her"

"Well Who's Fault Is That?"

"I Thought We Were Over That"

"We Are. I'm Just Saying When You Come Up In Here Bringing Up The Fact That You're Mother Hasn't Seen Her GrandChild. Well That's Kind Of Your Fault"

"Whatever" Damon Said Sitting On The Couch.

"So. Is There Anything Else You Want?"

"There Kinda Is" He Said Twisting His Hair. A Clear Sign That He Was Nervous.

"Why Are You Nervous?"

"I Want Another Shot"

"At What?" I Was Really Fucking Confused.

"At You. At Us" He Said Rubbing The Back Of My Hand.

"Look Damon" Was All I Could Get Out Before He Kissed Me.

"Damon Stop" I Said Pushing Him Back. "We Can't Be Together Like That Anymore"

"I Just Want Another Shot. I Know I Promised I Wouldn't Do This, But I Really Miss You"

"Damon I'm Married, And I'm In Love With My Husband. I'm Pregnant Damon."

" I Know... And The Fact That You Told Me Before You Told Your Husband Shows That You Still Care For Me"

"No It Doesn't. I Felt Like I Was Going To Die Holding That Secret In; I Had To Tell Someone"

"We Can Be A Family. Your Husband, Or His Brother, Can Come See The Baby"

He Was Saying All The Words I'd Been Waiting To Hear. The Old Me That Is. I Wasn't That Stupid Little Girl Anymore. I Wanted Hakeem, And I Wasn't Going To Do Anything To Jeopardize That.

"Damon Our Time Is Up. I Closed That Door A Long Time Ago, And I'm Not Opening It Up. If That Means I Lose You Out If Malani's Life, Then So Be It."

"Just Think About It"

"I Have Thought About It. For 2 Years I Thought About It. About The Hurt You Caused Me"

"Please. Just Give Us A Shot."

"No. Damon I Love My Husband. And I'm Going To Love This Child. I Can't Go Back To Being The Old Cartiér. She Doesn't Exist Anymore. I'm A New Woman." I Got Up From The Couch And Opened The Door. "Damon I Think You Should Leave"

"Fine. But Not Until This." He Said As He Got Up From The Couch And Reached In His Pocket, And Pulled Out A Ring.

"This Is The Engagement Ring I Was Going To Give You. That Is Before I Found Out About You Doing The Creep Creep Behind My Back. I Never Got Rid Of It. I Know You Say You're Happy And You Don't Want To Be With Me, But I'm Not Giving Up That Easy. I'm Going To Give You This Ring, And If You Give It Back When I Drop Malani Off Then I Will Never Bother You Again. I'll Cut Off All Relationships With You Other Than Malani"

"Okay" I Nodded.

He Leaned Down And Placed A Soft Kiss On My Lips.

"I Love You Cartiér"

I Closed The Door Without Saying It Back. These Past Weeks Have Brought Me So Much To Think About. I Really Didn't Know What To Do.

~I Know This Chapter Is Hella Shitty... I'm Just A Little Off My A Game. So Much Has Been Going On I Just Feel Like Breaking Down... But I Have You Guys That Are Looking To.Me To Bring You A Beautiful Love Story.... You Guys Give Me Hopee..
