THE DEAL

Fifteen

"You're looking radiant. What did they feed you or are you pregnant?" Nina asked as she examined her best friend. Ashanti glared at her in frustration, "Must you be like this?"
Nina frowned innocently,"How am I behaving?"
Ashanti rolled her eyes and Nina laughed before pulling her in a hug.
"I missed you so much. I literally had no one to call and rant all my problems to," Nina said as they pulled away before walking roe. the hallway in search of Mikayla's and Mabel's rooms.
"This is Kayla's room," Nina said as they approached a door and walked in. Mikayla was on the bed laying down while Mabel was sitting up beside her. The two sisters looked up and immediately smiled when they saw their sister.
"Oh my God!" Mikayla exclaimed as she jumped out of the bed and ran to hug her younger sister and Mabel did the same.
"You're glowing, I love the way you're looking bright, I'm starting to get jealous," Mabel said as she studied her youngest sister making her laugh.
"Hey guys," Ashanti smiled at the two of them.
"I said exactly what you said before, except for the jealous part," Nina told Mabel. "She thought I was crazy," Nina added and Mabel laughed.
The four girls spent about an hour catching up on everything until when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Mabel said and the door opened Andrea walked in with Hailey behind him.
"Hey,Andrea," Mikayla smiled at him."Hello to you too, my lovely sisters-in-law," he said with a curt bow making them laugh.
"I hope you don't mind if I bring little princess to come and play," he said to them.
Mikayla frowned,"Who?"
Then, Hailey pushed out her head on between Andreas legs so she could see them and Nina immediately let out a squeal.
"Oh my God, she's so cute!" Mikayla ran to her and gently carried her up in her arms.
Ashanti was thankful that Hailey eased up to them. She actually thought Hailey would start panicking out of fear and run away.
"What's your name princess?"Mabel asked her. "Hailey," the little girl answered. "You have a beautiful name, Hailey," Nina said and Hailey blushed.
Ashanti just shook her head in awe as she watched her sisters and best friend gush over the little girl. Hailey couldn't stop blushing at all the sudden attention she was receiving from the women.
When the day was turning to evening, Marcel decided that it was time to leave.
"I can't wait to see you in your dress, tomorrow," Abigail said to her daughter as she caressed her daughter's cheeks. Ashanti looked at her mother with a smile.
Mabel approached Marcel and cleared her throat. "May I have a word with you?" She asked. Marcel nodded and followed to the other SUV where no one was.
"I'm all ears," Marcel said politely. "I'm giving you this respect because you're older than I am and because you're getting married to my sister. But I won't hesitate to put you in your place if anything happens to her," Mabel said to him. Marcel smiled at her threat as he took in her features.
Ashanti looked a lot like her but there was one particular thing he noticed about the three sisters. The three sisters looked quiet but had mischievous glints in their eyes.
Marcel chuckled.  "Mabel Edwards. Before you got married, you were known to be one of the best assassins in the Mafia world," He said in admiration and Mabel rolled her eyes playfully.
"I know that if I do anything that goes wrong when it comes to your sister, you'll kill me without a single thought," he said abd Mabel nodded. "True talk," she shrugged making him chuckle.
"How's your baby?" Marcel asked and she raised a questioning brow at him. "How dud you know?" Marcel laughed,"I have my sources."
"It's fine," Mabel replied and he smiled. "Let's go before they start panicking," he said and she nodded.

"Fuck, I'm hungry!" Ashanti whined as she walked into the living room. Marcel followed after her with Hailey who was asleep in his arms.
"Are you actually hungry or you're just joking?" He asked in confusion because he was sure that she has just finished eating a whole bucket of chicken on their way home.
Ashanti smiled sheepishly, "I'm actually not that hungry." Marcel rolled his eyes. "This girl is impossible," he thought to himself as he made his way to her room.
He gently placed Hailey on the bed and Ashanti walked into the room. "Thank you for today,"Ashanti said as he adjusted the little girl on the bed.
"There's nothing to thank me for," Marcel said as he stood up straight and approached. At the moment, he was standing so close to her that his scent invaded her senses to the point that she felt she could get high on his scent.
"He smells so good," Ashanti moaned internally.
"By this time tomorrow, I'll be your wife," she mumbled. She had no statement made her feel excited.
"You seem at peace with that fact," Marcel said as he placed his hands on her hips and slowly pulled her closer before drawing circles on her hips. Her heartbeat sped up as she placed her hands on his chest.
"Do you have a problem with it?" She whispered looking up at him. Marcel chuckled lowly and buried his face in her neck.
Be loved the way she smelled like vanilla. Her scent also had a touch of fruity scent and the combination was enough to drive him crazy.
He began to kiss her neck,making her shiver in pleasure.
"Do you know how to shoot a gun?" He asked her as he kissed her jaw. She closed her eyes at the sensation. "I can do more than that," she told him and he grinned. "Atta girl," he said and kissed her. They pulled away and he carried her up. She gasped as she immediately wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck.
"Are you staying with me tonight?" she asked him.
"Do you want me to stay?"
"Yes, please"
"I tuoi desideri sono ordini " he said and kissed her forehead. (Your wish is my command)
