Knock

Who can that be? Nobody besides Sudan knows where I am, not even Mydi my best of friends. No one, so who could that be? The real question is should I answer it or not? Other people are in this motel maybe it is the people next door. If I don't answer maybe they will get the message. After 3 minutes the knocking continued, this person is not going away why? Can't they get the idea that I don't want to see or speak to them. I think I really should answer it you never know why.

"Eve open the door before I break it down!" Malikai yelled piss off

Malikai! Shit! Shit! Shit! What the hell is he doing here? I sure ain't on his good side. I open the door and there he stood in all his sexiness. He looked and glare then walk into the room, I closed the door and stood by its silently not saying in case I say the wrong thing.

"Did you kill Celeste?" he finally spoke

I can't believe this, he actually think I would kill this woman. Why would I want to kill her? At the time she was murdered I had two beautiful children to live for, and going to jail is not on my bucket list.

Because she was Malik's latest fling before I came back I would want to kill her? Well too bad because I actually have a life and killing a low life such as Celeste is not my style. With him keeping me up all sort of hours what time will I get to go and kill Celeste? Not to mention she was murdered in the morning and at that time if I was up I would be having morning sickness.

"You really think I kill her huh? Malikai I do not believe you, even if after we were back together and you decided to leave me for Celeste I would not have killed her. So you give me one reason why I would want to kill her?"

"I just asked a simple question."

"Malik why did you came here? To accuse me of doing something I am not guilty of?"

"After all that love making you wouldn't get no time to leave when we finish you were always tired."

"WOW! You think."

"Then who would want to frame you?"

"I have no idea."

"What were you doing at Celeste place?"

"What?"

"I said what you were doing at Celeste's place."

"Great."

"Yeah you think."

"She invited me there." So maybe I lied when I said that I've never been to Celeste place.

"What, why, when?"

"She invited me there, she told me not to tell you because she don't know how you would feel about it. When I reached she asked if we can be friends and that it is okay that you are back with me because it was only until a matter of time, with me being back and the kids you were bound to come back to me and that it was fine with her and If I could forgive her for the way she behaved."

"When that did took place."

"Around two weeks ago, we even had lunch the day before she died. She also told me not to take any risk and I should go to the hospital and get a checkup."

"You two were good friends?"

"Yes, No, we were but I still was not too fond of her."

"We need to make a move now."

"To where?"

"Hampton."

"Hampton?"

"Yes Hampton, I have a house up there nobody knows i have it. I cover my track on my way here and the car that I have waiting outside will take us there safely without anyone picking us up on the traffic cams, I have this all planned out."

"When do we leave?"

"Now."

"What about the kids?"

"Your mother and my mother are going to take care of them until your name is cleared."

"How long will that take?"

"I don't know but let's go."

We left the motel and now we are on our way to the Hampton and I feel like I want to cry, this is my first time that I am going to be away from Malika and Cree for so long. Who knows how long it will take to clear my name and what did I do to deserve this. We drove in an uncomfortable silence and I can feel the anger radiating off of him and I know I am the cost of it, but I don't have to make him know that. I can just act like I don't know.

"Why are you angry?"

"Because the minute the hair sample turned out to be yours you should've found me and tell me what was going down, I had to hear in from Buddy and Sudan. I wanted to hear it from you."

"The hair sample turned out to be mines."

"I wanted you to tell me before Buddy did."

"Well sorry."

"Sorry is not going to calmed me down right now I just need to think."

I decided not to talk because I don't want to get him upset and after all his right he is my partner both sexually and business like so I should have tell him. If it was him I would want him to tell me first. I just panicked I did not think before I acted. I was not expecting this and nobody and I have a problem that they would want to frame me.

I was the last person I expected this to happen to. What if my name doesn't get clearance what is going to happen to my babies? I am pregnant and I don't even know what to do right now. Tell him or don't tell him? The last time I didn't tell him what was going on, look what that got me. so telling him is the smartest thing to do. I just did not want to tell him like this. Back at the motel I took a pregnancy test to confirm it and it was positive.

"Schatje I need to tell you something."

"Go ahead I am listening."

"How about you pull over for a minute or so."

"Why?"

"Please."

"Okay." he pulled over "What now?"

"I am pregnant."
