The family

Part 18

The promise.

(Savannah & Pierre)

Savannah and I are having lunch out on the terrace, Liz served us and gave Savannah a dirty look as always, those two just can't get alone for shit. Savannah asked me how things are going, I told her it's been six months since we got Chandler, all is right with the world at least for me having my son's together, but I'm not so sure about James.

Pierre, do you think James is cheating on you, I told you it's okay to be a father, but take care of your man. Savannah said as she scarfed down another chicken wing.

Savannah only you would think that our sex life is shaky and it's fine, but James isn't cut out to be a house husband, he spends all of his time with the kids, like right now he took them to kid's world with Dyland. But my man needs more than just being a father or a husband, he doesn't say it, but I think he wants to go back to work.

 Shit Pierre you know what James did for your family, and it could put your family in danger if he goes back to that, give him five million dollars and tell him he can do what he wants with it, as long as he doesn't spend it on another dude, James looks like he'd fuck the shit out of some ass.

Girl please, money isn't on James's mind doing something is, Savannah told me we need to get away just us and let Liz watch the kids, and for me to fuck some sense into James, I did it before.

Savannah! is that all that's on your mind is money and sex, you haven't heard a word I've been saying.

Baby boy I heard you loud and clear, I guess it's different for females, I give my man sex, and he gives me money remember I've never been rich like you, and by the way your girl is pregnant, and I'd have my man's baby if he wasn't rich. Pierre called me a bitch and got up and hugged me.

Girl it's about time, I'm happy for you and by you saying that you're really happy with Devon, Savannah said she is, but back to me, I better think of something to keep my man from thinking about going back to that life, shit fuck James in the ass maybe he wants dick. I told her stop with the sex stuff, and help me think of something, she asked me other than killing folks what else has James ever talked about doing.

After she said that, I guess it's always been about me, I really don't know what my man wanted to do with his life, that's fucked up. The twins came running outside, they said hi to their auntie Savannah, I asked them did they have fun with their dad and uncle Dyland.

PJ said they did until there dad had to leave and they stayed and played with uncle Dyland, I asked where Uncle Dyland is, Chandler told me he dropped them off and he left too. Liz came out and told the boys to come take this medicine for their stomachs she's sure their dad let them have junk food. They went into the house with Liz, Savannah asked me am I sure James doesn't have a sidepiece, after all he couldn't even stay with the kids, maybe he is getting that dick wet.

I told her to stop, James isn't like that, she said than where is my man, and Dyland didn't even bother to come in, he knew I'd ask where James is, I called bae his phone went to voicemail. Savannah said from the look on my face he didn't pick up so maybe he has his dick in someone's ass and can't answer the phone.

Liz came back out and said oh she's still here as she took the plates, she told me she knows a secret about my husband, she got it from the boys' she went back into the house. Savannah said that old bitch is always full of shit, why the fuck didn't she just tell me what's up.

I got up, Savannah asked me where I'm going, I told her to talk to the boys they know where their daddy is, I went into the house, Liz told me don't ask her no questions she's not telling, and don't bother to ask the twins they won't tell me. I told her if it's something that could hurt the family, I think she should tell me.

 First of all, Mr. Pierre if it were something that would hurt this family, I'd tell you, you'll just have to wait until your husband comes home and let him tell me, Liz said as she walked out of the room. That damn Savannah has me thinking crazy, I went back outside, she asked me did I find out what James is up to, I told her no and I'll just wait until he gets here, he'll tell me.

Savannah said she'll wait with me she's got to know what's going on, I told her if she stays no more talk about James messing around, she said fine we can talk about her being a mother, she's not going to be like her mother the old bitch. Savannah talked for a half an hour, but my mind was on James I do wonder what he's up to.

(James)

I called Dyland and told him to meet me at the motel 6, he knows which one, and don't ask any questions, just call me when he gets here. I hung up, I told her he's on his way, Ruth said good let her freshen up she doesn't want Dyland to see her like this, she went into the bathroom.

Ten minutes later there's a knock on the door, thinking it's Dyland I just opened the door, it wasn't him but four men, they pushed their way in, and we fought, Ruth came out of the bathroom and one of them said Mr Spider sent them, he shot her, I was hit on the head.

I came to, and saw Dyland standing over Ruth, he looked at me and asked did I kill her, I told him no some men came and we fought and one of them shot her, he knows I wouldn't do anything to hurt him or her. Dyland said he believes me, I never lied to him, promise him I'll find Ruths killers and kill them all.

I told him he knows I don't do that anymore, he said for him promise him, I couldn't say no, so I made that promise. Dyland said he called the police I better get out of here, before they come, I told him I don't want to leave him, he said just go he'll be alright he's an Alexander, just keep my promise.

I told him as soon as this is over come and see me, he said he will, and I left, by the time I got to my car the cops showed up and I drove away. I have a family now how can I do what Dyland asked me to do, but Dyland is my family too, and I promised him I'd take care of Ruths killers, she already told me who's after her, why did I answer the door without checking that's a rookie mistake and I know better than that.

 I stopped off and got Pie some flowers, I can't tell him what happened and what I'm going to do for my brother. After I got the flowers, I called the Top restaurant and got us a table, I just want a special night with Pie, if I don't get who killed Ruth, they could come after Dyland or even my family sense they saw me, I want Pie to have as much time with me as he can.

I got home and Pie and that nut case Savannah are sitting in the living room, she said flowers I'm guilty of something men bring flowers when they did something. I said hi and bye to her, Pie told her he'll call her later and Liz put Savannah out, she said don't worry she'll take care of the kids just do our thing she left the room.

Pie asked what's she talking about, I told him the twins must've told her I'm taking you out on a date, just us, I want some time with my husband so go and get showered and changed we have a reservation at the Top. restaurant Pie said so that's why the boys wouldn't say anything there just like me closed mouthed, he kissed me and took the flowers and went upstairs.

I called Dyland, he said the cops questioned him and he told them what he knows, just do what I promised him he hung up. I went up and showered with Pie and we got dressed and said bye to the boys and we left, I made sure Pie didn't know how I was really feeling inside about all of this.

After dinner we got a suite in the hotel and I made love to my man, I just hope they'll be more nights like this.

A few days later Dyland had a private funeral ceremony for Ruth, she's buried with the rest of her family. Dyland said he'll cover for me just get Ruth's killers, I told him he can never tell anyone what I'm going to do not even EJ, he said I promised him I'd get Ruth's killers, and he'll promise me he'll never tell what I'm about to do. He'll take care of my family; we hugged and went our separate ways.

I promised my brother that, and I'll keep my promise.
