Deadly Desires

Chapter 13

Unable to sleep, I can't do anything but think about how much my life was changing right before my eyes. I went from living life as Breonna's doormat to a life of bliss and unconditional love with Shawna. For some strange reason I feel like there's some bullshit heading our way.

"Babe, someone is at the door."

Squinting from the sun shining in my face, I looked at the clock.

"Who the fuck is at our door at 7:38 am?"

I grabbed my robe and headed for the front door. It was Tiffany.

"Hey Cole" she said cheerfully.

"Bitch?!, Why the fuck you came over here so damn early?" "We're still in bed!"

"Yea, I know, but Nicole you need to get out and get some air. You're always in this house. Ugh!"

She followed close behind me back to the bedroom.

"Hey Shawn."

"What's up?"

Not noticing that I caught the look she gave Shawna, Tiffany rolled her eyes.

"So what's up are you gonna kick it with your bestie today or what?"

"Yea, we can meet up later I got to take Shawna to the doctor later."

Sighing loudly, Tiffany got up from the foot of the bed and grabbed her purse.

"Alright, later!"

Laughing to myself I laid back down beside Shawna. She was staring at the wall in deep thought.

"Baby, are you ok?"

"Yes baby." She rolled over and put her hands on my cheek. "Nicole, you that I love you and I would never do anything to hurt you." "But there's something I think you should know about me...."

My cell phone interrupted her sentence. It was an unknown number.

"Hello"

"You better tell your bitch ass girlfriend to stay strapped, we're gonna finish what Bre started......"

The look on my face must have scream trouble, because Shawna snatched my phone.

"Who the fuck was that Nicole?" "I heard that shit, who the fuck was it?"

"Shawna I don't know"

"Get your number changed today and I fucking mean it. Where's my phone I need to call Marley and Alley."

"Was sup", Marley answered.

"It's time to do that, come through," Shawna instructed her.

"Really Shawna"

"What?"

"You're gonna end up getting killed over this bullshit or going to jail?" "When will this shit end? I'm tired of this shit, I can't keep wondering what you're doing in these streets Shawna!"

"Look Nicole, I'm trying to protect my home. I do what I got to do to make sure you're good. You're the only person I got besides Marley so if it means kill, steal, or go broke for you I'm gonna Kill Steal and Go motherfucking broke." "I grew up in the fucking streets, I'm gonna die in these streets. I love you, and I'm afraid to lose you. I won't lose you. Not over no bullshit, so just trust me alright."

I knew Shawna meant well. I just have this gut feeling that some shit is about to go down.

"Shawna, what do you mean you're gay? I didn't raise a faggot in my house all these years." I was scared to tell my mother and this made it worst. I didn't know what was next. I never knew my father so I didn't have him to protect me.
