A Woman's Worth II (Book #2)

Chapter 6: Empty Space

Jamaica

The sounds of doors slamming and plates shattering awoke me from sleeping peacefully. The sun was held up by the sky which was a bright shade and the faint clouds were a thick white color. A beautiful day about to be ruined by an ugly soul. Sometimes I regret moving this far along with her. That ring she sports, she don't deserve it. Ahayah does. But aye I made this decision it's on me.

Kimora burst through the room stomping like she was a marching soldier picking up bags and carrying them outta the room. Me being Jamaica Brooks I laid back down and watched. I laughed every time she came back cause she looked so serious and she actually think ima let her leave! Amora soon started to squirm and grunt as she slowly awoke. I laid her on my chest and we both watched her mom.

Tears staining her face, she sniffed loudly and came to an abrupt stop at the foot of the bed. "Jamaica I haven't been honest with you." She mumbled, her eyes slowly falling to the floor. "Speak." Whatever she says right now cant hurt me more than I already hurt. "Just go down stairs and see." She mumbled. Hm.

I wrapped Amora up in her blanket and held her in my arms making our way downstairs. "Wussup you must be Jamaica.."

Ahayah

This morning I woke up feeling exuberant! The sun all big and beautiful and on top of that I have a blind date. Lately I've been moping and sick and decided I need a change so Analaa and Kellita set it up.

After my shower I put on my long sleeve all white Chanel dress with all gold jewelry and 6in gold Giorgio Armani pumps. My hair curled up and out, light make up on. I grabbed my all white gold shimmer Chanel clutch, my keys, and wallet then headed out the door to my awaiting impala.

"Hiii I'm here for a reservation under Kelly." I told the host as she stood there barely acknowledging me. "I'm so sorry ma'am. Right this way." She walked me to my seat and I couldn't help but smile when I saw who was sitting there.

Javielle Kelly... "This is so weird you actually wanted a date with me... And it actually happened." I shook my head and sat down In the chair Javielle pulled out for me. "Just notify this as a business meeting. I have a proposition." The sound of her voice sounded so cynical so conniving but I wanted to hear every word..

A sinister grin spread across her face which let's me know we fina be doing something sneaky. "Wussup?" I asked adjusting in my seat with the same smirk she had plastered across her face. "Well there's this girl that I've been dealing with for about 5 years now. But all of a sudden she wound up pregnant and engaged to another stud." She spoke. I choked on the water the server brought out and shook my head.

"Kimora?" She nodded her head up and down slowly. No longer choking my smirk slid right back on. "Before we get into detail about how you plan on getting her back tell me what's in it for me." I spoke letting her know ima need something outta the deal. "You get what you want." "I dont want Jamaica." Her eyes widened but settled.

"Well then ima kill her." That slap in the face just then hurt the hell outta my heart. Naaaw I can't do this. "Ummm on second thought count me out. There's other ways you can go about getting her back. But hurting Jamaica is outta the question. I'm out." I slammed my water glass on the table and slowly made my way out. "Oh and if Jamaica get hurt that's 3 to ya." And with that I snapped my head back to the front of me and marched to my car. Worst date ive ever experienced..

Jamaica

I wrapped Amora up in her blanket and held her in my arms making our way downstairs. "Wussup you must be Jamaica.." "Maybe Maybe not who the hell are you?" I asked the stud that was standing in my foyer. She cleared her throat and looked past me. "Kimora yeen tell your girl about me?" She asked shoving her hands in her pockets. I looked her up and down noticing she had on a Black Giorgio Armani suit with all black loafers. Hm.

"Jamaica this is Javi... My ex wife well my wife." I shook my head and smiled hard. "Thats funny as hell. Be forreal!" I laughed stepping back. Kimora showed me a ring that she had in a box which made my heart drop. It was waaaay bigger and better than the one I got her..

"Jamaica I never meant to fall for you. Just like you, when Javi went to jail I was lost and hurt so I looked for something to play around with and wound up loving you. Just like with me except you want me not Ahayah." I'm glad she think I want her that bad! "Thats fine. I ain't pressed bout no female. If you leave give me my ring back, my baby staying, and lose all contact." I snapped walking further into the house.

I watched Javi smirk at me and carry some bags out the house. "So you just gone leave your newborn baby. Just like that?" I asked anger finally rising. "Sorry. But yes. Its something I have to do I'll sign over all the rights. I can't not be with Javi. She's my life. And she won't accept Amora. Soo yeaa." with that she slid my ring off her finger and sat it on the table. One last inhale and exhale she left out the door.

"Can you please come over Ahayah? I really need someone to talk to." I spoke into the phone holding back tears.

"You okay? You don't sound so good.." she replied.

"I'm not okay I need someone right now.. My baby needs someone too. Can you please?"

"I was kinda busy but I'll be there. And I have to tell you something too. Something you need to hear."

Her words kinda made me feel a certain way but I pushed that to the side, and hung up continuing to feed my baby. "Everything gone be okay. As long as you got me you won't need anybody." I whispered to Amora who just sat there staring up at me. I hope my words stick to her cause I'm being dead honest.

20 minutes later the doorbell rung. I made no hesitations to get up and answer it either. "Wussup?" I asked stepping back letting Ahayah into the house. "Your wife ain't gone pop up and beat me up is she?" She chuckled taking off her coat and shoes. "No ma'am." We both walked back into the house and sat on the couches of course she took Amora from me.

"This baby is gorgeous. And she kinda look like you especially them fingers. Y'all created a master piece. Speaking of where is she?" She asked looking around. "She left me for some stud she in love with." Her mouth dropped open and she shook her head.

"I told her if she hurt you she was gonna have to answer to me. She smart." She whispered while burping the baby. "Who Kimora?" "No ew. Javi. Thats what I had to talk to you about. She was the person I went on the date with. Well blind date. And she was like it's not a date think of it as a business opportunity. All in all we were supposed to get you outta the way so she can get back with Kimora and she planned on killing you so I said I'm out." Ahayah explained.

"So you had a blind date with an ex criminal." "Jamaica there's no time or space for jealousy. You was just engaged chill. I'm tryna have fun in my life." My eyes narrowed and I huffed. "What about the baby?" She finally asked breaking the silence. "She's all mine. Kimora don't want her." Ahayah once again dropped her jaw holding Amora closer. "Whatever. Anyway I'm fina take a shower. Don't hurt my baby."

Moments later I came back down seeing Ahayah and Amora both asleep across the couch. It was cute in ways I couldn't explain. If you didn't know it you'd think these two were mother and daughter. Not the looks the immediate bond. Amora didn't even lay with Kimora like this. She's always laying with me if not she's grumpy as hell. I guess you can tell a good person from the jump.
Not wanting to wake either of them I made a 4a.m bottle, checked Amora's diaper, and made me a pallet in front of the couch they laid on. Right now my feelings are exploding with happiness. I feel complete and bashful. I feel like can't nobody remove this bliss I feel in my heart. Smiling hard I laid down, prayed, and went to sleep. And of course I prayed for Ahayah to come back.
