Look What You've Done

Chapter 27

DESTINY.

It has been two months, three weeks and two days since Drew has been gone and it's been pure hell. Everyone has been moping around and depressed. Simone has been acting out and Dre just stays quiet unless he has to. Camilla decided that it was best that we moved in together so we bought a house together. Mama and Pops are doing fine but, mama still has her moments where she breaks down. Since Drew went to rehab he choose to cut communication off with everyone. The kids use to wait by the phone when they got home now they just don't even care. As for Shawn we have grown distant since my priority is mainly on the kids. I walked into the kitchen to see the kids eating breakfast,

"Good morning my babies." I said giving them a kiss on the cheek. They ignored me and continued eating their food.

"Morning Des."

"Morning, are you dropping the kids off today or am I?"

"Can you I'm running low on time."

"Sure. Come on Dre and Simi." They grabbed their bags and we headed out to the car. We got in and I started heading towards their school. "What do you guys want for dinner tonight?" The car was silent. This seriously can't go on any longer. When pulled up to the school I parked in the parking lot. "I don't know what's going on between the two of you but, it needs to stop. We do nothing but love both of you. Ya'll better change your attitudes before I change them for you. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Now give me a kiss." They both gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"I love you both and I want to see a good report on you folders. I might take you to go to the park afterwards if you have been good."

"Can we get ice cream too?" Simone asked.

"Of course baby. Now have a good day." They got out the car and watched as they crossed the street. Since I didn't have anything to do I decided to go to the nail salon then get my hair done. I walked into the nail salon and picked out my color. As I was getting my nails done I heard a couple girls talk about me.

"Yeah that's her I heard she go with Pharaoh and Ace."

"Word around the street she the reason why Pharaoh got locked up. Shit I don't know why they even entertain her she ugly any way."

"Guys she isn't ugly just basic." I turned my attention to the three ratchets that were talking shit about me.

"Excuse me ladies you should really work on whispering because I can here. As for me and mines don't worry about it. What you need to worry about that benefit check that is helping you pay for your busted ass weave." They rolled their eyes and went back to another conversation. I returned my attention back to the lady doing my feet. After I was finished I went to the mall to pick out a couple of cute clothes. As I walked in I saw Shawn talking to a couple of guys. His hair had grown out and his arm looked like it had fresh ink on it. He showed his million dollar smile that instantly made me weak. One of his friends tapped his shoulder and he turned his attention to me. I instantly felt butterflies flutter in my stomach. I didn't even realize he was in front of me until I felt his hands wrap around my. I took in his scent while I nuzzled my head deeper into him.

"I missed you love." His deep accent filled my ear.

"I'm sorry Shawn."

"Don't be it's cool ma. I know that you needed your space."

"I need you right now. I'm going crazy and I have to be strong for everyone. Cam is a total wreck, the kids... Simone is just acts out and Dre doesn't talk. They started talking to me a little but, it's temporary and I can't." Tears were rushing down my face as I was struggling to catch

"I got you ma. Where your keys?" I reached into my purse and handed them to him. He tossed his to the boy I faintly remember. Shawn grabbed my hand leading me outside to my car. We hopped in and he drove off. I could my body start to shake and jerk. "Destiny calm down ma." He grabbed my hand then my heart started to calm down a little. The next thing I knew I blacked out. I woke up in a bed with a shirt on that I wasn't wearing before. I looked over to see Shawn staring at me with his arm securing my body.

"I'm sorry,"

"Stop saying that I got you." He grabbed my hand intertwining them. I looked over at the clock and saw that it was four.

"I need to go." He grabbed my hand pulling me back.

"I already called you sister she has them and the kids are safe."

"I still need to get ready,"

"Camilla called Stasi to run it for the next few days. Now relax and lay with me." I snuggled back into him as he played with the ring he got me.

"Thank you."

"I told you if you need me I'm here."

"I know but, you know I'm used to picking up all the pieces. I'm always left to deal with everyone's drama. It only got worse when Drew left."

"I'm here now. All you got to do is let me do my job and take the pain away. You ain't gotta be alone because I'm here. As for that nigga fuck him. I'll do everything for Simone and Dre that he won't. Hell Simone is mine even though we ain't blood, she is still mine."

"I love you but I can't ask you to do that. You have your own problems." He smiled showing his perfect teeth. I couldn't help but start laughing. "Why are you smiling?"

"Because you said you love me."

"You're so goofy."

"But you love me though."

"Yeah whatever." He kissed my lips. I grabbed his thick hair bringing him closer to me as he rubbed tongue across my bottom lip asking for entrance. I opened my mouth letting him in. He climbed on top making sure there were no gaps between us. I started sliding his shirt up, as I was pulling it over head I stopped him. Mine and Simone's name was tatted on his rib. "When?"

"I missed ya'll. It hurt being without you and my little bit so I went to get it. I love you so much and you don't even know how much you mean to me." I grabbed his hands kissing both of them. I kissed his lips again while pulling my shirt off. I reached for his pants and started unbuckling them. He helped me get undressed as he trailed kisses all over my body.

"I need you Shawn." I whispered as he entered inside me.

"I'm here for you ma." The rest of the night we made love to each other.
