College Girl Sequel

Chapter Ten

Trey
I stand and stare at Liberty in a daze as she tries to rock the crying Judiah to sleep. I listened to what she said and we quickly left of house in the suburbs to come to the Courtyard Marriot in D.C. She won't even look at me.

Putting Judiah on her shoulder and patting his back seems to make him scream louder.

"Okay baby boy. It's okay." She says growing impatient.

"Here," with my arms outstretched,"Lemme take him."

She doesn't look at me as she puts him in my arms. I lay him on my chest and walk around the room, singing a hymn from church. It's 4am and it seems like none of us are tired. Judiah quiets down and stares up at me with Liberty's eyes.

I smile,"Hey buddy,"

I avert my eyes to Liberty who sits on the bed crying. I'm confused about what's going on as much as she is. Judiah, now calm, allows me to place him in his bassinet. I guess he knows he needs to be quiet.

I sit down next to Liberty and embrace her.

"He groped me, Trey," she cries into my shirt,"I feel disgusting."

I kiss her forehead,"I'm so sorry, baby. It's okay. I swear I don't know what's going on."

"I can't lose you." She says,"Judiah needs you."

"I'm not going anywhere baby! We need to call the police to report this." I say.

My heart is pounding out of my chest. I know who's after me. It's no secret. I'll kill him myself if he comes near my family like that.

My cellphone rings showing a blocked number. I pick it up.

"Hello?"

Silence.

"Hello?" I say again.

Liberty looks at me with her confused tear streaked face.

"What the fxck do you want?" I hiss knowing who it is.

He chuckles,"Where are your manners Tremaine?"

"I been lost those since your ass decided to break into my house and touch my fiancée."

"Hmm. I only came over for a visit. Very beautiful house you have there."

I squeeze the phone and close my eyes,"I swear I'll kill you myself if I have to!"

"Woah there. No need to get violent."

"Then what do you want? I don't understand."

"You're rude and I'm just teaching you a lesson.... I can make a deal with you."

"What?" I ask annoyed.

"Let me have your fiancée for one night." He says boldly.

"You sick muthafxcking bastard. Over my dead body." I hiss beyond pissed.

He laughs,"Very well then."

He hangs up and I slam my phone on the desk,"Shxt!"

Liberty hugs me,"That was him?"

Tightly I say,"Yeah. He's not gonna give up easy."

I look at her beautiful tired face.

"What does he want?" She asks,"Money?"

"It's not what he wants, it's who he wants." I say staring at the wall.

"Who baby?" She asks while laying her head on my chest.

"You."

She tightens and pulls away from me. I grab her her arm before she could go.

"I'm never gonna let him touch you. I swear if I see him, I'm ripping his to pieces."

"Shut the fxck up, Trey," she says out of spite,"Just call the damn police."

I pick up my phone and dial 911. My soon-to-be wife and child are in danger. Liberty collapses on the bed with her eyes shut as I speak to the operator. She doesn't move until I hang up.

"Sorry for yelling at you baby,"She begins,"I'm just scared. I think we should go to Ct and live with my parents until the police clear this up."

Connecticut? I lay next to her with a groan.

"Are you sure?" I ask her while touching her cheek.

"Yeah, and my parents would love to be around Judiah some more." She says opening her eyes.

I stare at her tired face and think about Judiah. I can't put them through this crazy shxt.

"I'm so sorry." I whisper while holding back tears,"I fxcked up this time again."

"No, baby," she says whiling hugging my head to my chest,"We in this together. You did nothing wrong."

We cry together until the police show up. We tell them all that we know about Owen, and they suggest that we find a safe place to live for the time being.

"Do you have any relatives or trusted people you can go to? Your house isn't the best place to return to." The officer suggests.

"Yeah, we'll be going to Ct to live with my parents for a while." Liberty says while squeezing my hand.

"Okay, we'll keep in contact with you two about this prick." The police officer says,"We'll do everything that we can to make sure he's off the streets of DC."

"Thank you, officer." I thank.

Liberty
The police leave and Trey insists that I get some rest.

"You need some sleep, Lib," he says while guiding me to the bed.

I nod and get under the covers. Though my mind is jumping, my body begs for rest. Trey slides in the other side and turns off the lights with the click of a button. We turn and face each other in the dark.

I can still make out his facial features in the dark. Reaching my hand out, I caress his bearded cheek. He kisses that hand and pulls me close to him.

"Get some sleep," he mumbles while nuzzling my neck.

The hair from his beard tickles me and I giggle.

"Stop," I whisper while shuddering.

He stops and places soft kisses on my cheek then lips. He rests his chin on my head and sighs.

"We leave tomorrow. Okay?" He says.

"Okay."
