"Even after two years I still know you like the back of my hand Kevin." Violet says licking her lips looking at me. I couldn't even be mad at her no more. Letting the garage down I get out, grab her and pull her into the driver seat. Dropping my pants to the ground I turn her around.
"Bend over." I say rubbing the arch in her back.

Walking  up the stairs I find a knocked out Violet, sliding on my shirt I head out. I was out the game but I had to go see my old boss one last time. Leaving Violet asleep I jump in my partner jeep of course I walked a few blocks away from the house. Rule number one is never use your real name. Rule number two never let them know where you lay your head. Rule number three never take your own car when fooling with dirty business. I didn't have to trap I just did it to make a name for myself in the streets while my siblings took the business world on. No one knows about the double life I'm living, only Violet.

"Well done Kane. That problem is no longer a problem. Here is your last payment." Boss said tossing me a bag of money.
"Thanks boss, but keep the money. I don't need it." I say placing it on his desk.
"Always so humble. The rest of these niggas could learn from you. So tell me. Why have you given me back every dime I've tried to give you?" He says laughing.
"I lived this life thrill not for the money, but now my girl is back and we are expecting."
"Oh I see. Well take it as a congratulatory gift. I won't take no for an answer." Nodding I smile.
"Yeah sir. Ima still check on ya, ight'?"

"How the hell do you drive a Bugotti?" Boss said scratching his head.
"I started a business right out of high school and it's doing well I guess." I say chuckling.
"I knew you were smart. Good lucky with life boy. I'm proud. You are like a son to me. I really planned on passing everything down to you know."
"You to sir, I feel honored but I just got my mom back and I'm starting a family with the love of my life. Thank you. I'll see you around." With that I walk out and close the door behind me.

Getting dropped off a few blocks away from my  home. After going into the building I wait until the car pulled off. After changing I slip through the back door and head home. Hopping in my truck I drive to an ally where the homeless usually sleep. Hopping out I wake them up.
"I want you all to get up and go check into a motel and enjoy you money. Please spend it wisely. I don't want to see y'all back here again." There were four of them and they each got $125,000 cash. Hopping in my truck I back out and go home to my babies.

"Your home early." I hear as soon as I open the door.
"I ain't do nothing I just talked with Boss." I say climbing into the bed after kicking off my shoes.
"Mhmm," she says looking at me. Rolling over she lays on her back.
"What you doing up anyways?"I ask kissing her forehead.
"We was hungry." She says rubbing her belly flipping through the tv channels.
"Why didn't you call me or text me I would have brought you something." I say hovering over her.
"I didn't want to interrupt you." Violet responded looking away.
"Look at me Vi. Yo you the only thing I'm worried about ight'?" Nodding her head she kissed my lips before starting to watch her show.

"Yes."  Violet says two hours later when I'm half asleep.
"Yes?" I ask sitting up.
"What you ask me earlier?"
"You gone marry me?" I ask.
"The other thing." She says looking at me.
"What?"
"Yes, I'll be your girlfriend Kevin." Violet says smirking at me.
"Aw shit, what you smirking for?" I ask pulling her on top of me smiling hard.
"Because your eyes lite up." She says chuckling.
"You just don't understand how much I love you." Dropping my mouth and opening my eyes wide I freeze. I can't believe I said that shit out loud.
"Mhmm. Don't get quiet now." Shaking my head I close my eyes.
"You love me! You love me!" Violet sings loudly in my ear.
"Shut up Vi. That ain't nothing new." I say slapping her butt as we drift off to sleep.

The sound of  Violet throwing up woke me up, sliding out of bed I go make sure she's alright. Pulling her hair back I tie it back, before rubbing her back. Pulling out my phone I google was to help pregnant morning sickness. I hate that she was sick like this and I couldn't do nothing for her but comfort her. After awhile Vi stops throwing up and leans back against me.

"I hate you right now," she croaks leaning her head down before vomiting again.
"Have you been to the doctor yet?" I as placing my phone on the counter.
"Mhmm. I go to the OBGNY on Friday. Found out I was pregnant at my check up last week. Started throwing up I thought I had the flu or something." She mumbles out tired. Picking her up sat her on the toilet and hand her, her tooth brush. Turning on the shower and I strip. Lifting Violet when she is finished I step into the shower. By the time I'm done soaping Violet up, she's half sleep. Lazily she stands clinging to me as if she hasn't slept all night. Oh my god! I bet my Benz she was up as soon as I left waiting for my return! Damn it!

"Vi wake up doll." I say chuckling as she laid her head on my chest.
"Shhh." She says putting her legs around me forcing me to pick her up. Shutting off the water I carefully step out, rapping us in my robe I trail off to the bedroom. Drying her off I deposit her in bed and slip in behind her.

"I know you stayed up after I left you here. It's coo tho, you ain't got to worry about that no more. You gone be ready for me to leave." I say cuddling her while kissing her neck. The side table clock read 5:30am.
