Chapter 10

Tyrese-

When I got home I sent a text to Chris and Aug, letting them know I'd be at the warehouse later on. I ran upstairs and too my surprise T was in bed watching Episodes of POI eating chips and candy.

"Hey baby," I said as I kissed her lips. "Hey how was your day?" She asked. "It was good in tired as hell," I said as I took of my suit jacket and unbuckled my pants. "Chief cooked some spaghetti and garlic bread," she said as she stuffed some gummy bears in her mouth.

"Yeah, well I'll eat when I get back," I said as I grabbed a towel and my body wash. "Where are you going?" She asked. "Gotta meet up with Aug, El, Chris, and Durrell," I said as I hopped in the shower. I began lathering my body down. The hot water hitting my back felt good.

"Tyrese how come you won't tell me what's going on baby, I hate sitting in the house worrying, we're talking about marriage and you're not even trying to involve me in what's going on," she said as she came in the bathroom. I shook my head and rubbed my temples. I didn't have time for Taraji and her bs.

"Baby please don't start that shit, you already know what's up, stop worrying about it man!" I yelled back.

"What you mean stop worrying, how can I not, Tyrese I'm stuck in this fucking house not knowing what's going on. What if something happens to you, then what?" She asked.

I rinsed off and turned off the water. I snatched my towel down and started drying off. "So you gone ignore me now!" She yelled back as she followed me into the closet.

"You know what fuck you Tyrese I hate you!" She yelled. She tried to walk off and I grabbed her arm and pushed her up against the wall. "I'm tired you fucking bitching Taraji! I'm not telling you shit okay! Shut the fuck up cause you getting on my mother fucking nerve bitch!" I yelled.

I watched as her bottom lips started to tremble and tears fell down her face. "Baby, I'm sorry I ain't-"

"You wouldn't have said it if you didn't mean it Tyrese, go do what you have to do okay, I promise I won't bother you ever again," she said as she began walking away. "Baby I'm sorry," I said as I followed her. She got down in the bed and pulled the covers over her.

I shook my head and went back into the closet. I put on a pair of black jeans, a black hoodie, along with my black timberland boots. I snatched my phone and my keys off the dresser and left.

I felt like driving tonight so I hopped in my all black Lamborghini. I took the express and drove to the Warehouse. I forwarded a group message to Everybody. Warning them not to tell Taraji shit.

In less than thirty minutes I was pulling up in the gate of the Warehouse. Chris was standing out smoking a blunt. I cut the engine and put my car in park. "Wassup bro," Chris said as he gave me dap. "Shit man what's up?" I asked as we began walking inside. "Shit nun," he said.

"Yo bruh wazzum," Aug said as he gave me dap. "Shit were everybody at?" I asked. "Durrell and El setting shit up down stairs, the girls up stairs with the kid," Chris said.

"What the fuck man I said the kid wasn't gone be involved!" I yelled. "Bruh we ain't gone hurt em' this hea a way to get wad we nee'" Aug said.

"I swear if something happen to the kid-"

"Ty we ain't gone kill him we just gone threaten her," Durrell said a she came upstairs. "Y'all got the fucking evidence?" I asked. Durrell handed me a Manila folder. "Pictures, text messages, between her and Common, everything we even recorded their last private meeting in the back of an old boarded up building," Durrell said.

"Everybody turn yo fucking location services off, Taraji ain't stupid, she gone find a way to see what we doing, tell the girls to turn they shit off too," I said as I started walking down the stairs.

El was sitting near the window smoking a blunt. "Turn yo location settings off on yo phone, hit the lights," I said as I through the folder on the table. El did as he was told and I snatched the pillow case off of Jennifer's face.

We stared deep into each other's eyes. I turned the chair backwards and sat down in front of her. I took a sip of water and looked back into her face. "Thirsty?" I asked.

"Where's my son!" She yelled. "You gone calm the fuck down or I'll blow this bitch up!" I yelled as I slammed my fist on the table causing her to jump. "You been working with Common trying to set me and Taraji up?" I asked.

"Fuck are you talking about?" She yelled. I opened the folder and showed her the picture of her and Common in the alley. "This ring a bell?" I asked.

She sat speechless. "You got some information I need, now I think you already know I'm not playing games, tell me what the fuck Common is planning," I said.

"Tyrese I don't know," she yelled. I slapped the shit out of her. "Tell me what the fuck is going on!" I yelled. "I don't fucking know dammit, I told you I don't know, my only job was to seduce you. He never told me what he was going to do. All he said was he wanted to kill you and Taraji,"

"Whenever we met up, he kept telling me to try harder. I told him over and over that I didn't wanna do this, but he threatened to kill my son saying he would end up like my nephew. I want no parts of this," she said.

"When did you and Common first meet up?" I asked. "At a diner in Chicago. He asked me about me and you, our relationship. Was I hurt when you left me and went back to Taraji. I told him no I wasn't really because I honestly wanted to repair the relationship I had with my sons father. I told him you and Taraji were soul mates and that together you too would kill him. But I see Taraji isn't here," she said.

"Me and Taraji are soul mates. She isn't here because just like you I'll do anything to protect my kids if you didn't know, she's pregnant. We're having twins a boy and a girl," I said.

"Wow that's beautiful Tyrese," she said. "Thank you, that's why I need your help Jennifer," I said. "With what," she said with a confused look on her face. "Taraji came up with a good plan. That we get Common. Make him think we don't know wassup. We need you to be our inside information. With your help every time he comes to get us we'll get him, eventually he'll get tired, and if he doesn't we already have a plan in motion," I said.

"I don't know Tyrese," she said shaking her head. "Jennifer please, I have a family to protect, but I can't do that if this animal is free on the streets," I said.

"What's in it for me?" She asked. "Whatever you want, I just wanna dead this nigga and protect my babies," I said. "Alright I'll help you, but you should know, If this is going to work. You need Taraji on your side. Behind every man is a strong woman," she replied.

What she said made hella since. I had been pushing T on the burner because I didn't want her to get hurt, but maybe she was right. If we was planning on being married we needed to be partners. "I'll think about it," I said.

"But here's what you need to do," I said as I ran down the plan. Mary, Karruche, Chris, Aug, Rih, and El came down with her son and I smiled as I watched her embrace him. I'd do anything to keep my unborns safe. We ran down the plan after seeing Durrell and Rih, Aug and Karruche, and Mary and El. I decided that maybe I did need T, I mean she was my backbone, and without her I was weak
