Carter 2

IX

Carter can't believe what his eyes are seeing, the woman who was taken from him for so long & now she is in front of him Onika the love of his life, wife & best friend.

All she can do is cry staring at the man who stole her heart, felt in love with & still has that same love for. He slowly touches her face pulling her into him holding her in his arms.

"Carter" she says softly, he lifts her head up with his finger kissing the woman he loves with everything he has. Her legs go weak he catches her carrying her to the couch laying her head on his chest "I promise I won't ever let you go" she looks up at him "I never wanna leave you I never planned too" she kisses him again.

She feels a tear from his eyes fall she feels the pain he has held inside for so long finally escaping his mind & soul. She holds him tightly "Everything will be ok I'm here I will take care you, you don't have to worry anymore".

"U fuckin wit royalty nigga..... den u gotta get u a blood diamond"

"Who dis?"

"Nigga dat don't matter nxt time u fuck wit royalty I'll kill u pussy ass bitch"

"Ok lil nigga"

Jaylen knows exactly who that was he ignores it, paying attention to the #1 lady beginning to wake up "Hi..." He smiles at her kissing her softly.

She cuddles up next to him he kisses the top of her head. "Ur brother through he was threatening me" he laughs "What?!.... I swear to g......" He kisses her to stop her from talking "Don't worry about it he ain't true to his word if he was he would've done it by now".

She sits up holding the blanket to her chest "I want you here with me" he looks directly into her eyes she blushes "I can spend the night if you like me too" he holds her hands "I don't want you to just spend the night I want you here with me permanently".

Her eyes get wide "You want me to move in with like live here with you" her mind is everywhere just the through of actually moving in with him.

"I don't wanna rush anything I'll give you time to think about it & when you feel it's the right time to give me an answer then you tell me what you wanna do.... No matter what you do you always got me here with you. I love you girl I always tell you I do" he kisses her & gets up "Ima go find something to make us, what you in the mood for gorgeous?" She thinks for awhile "Chinese food".

She watches him leave the room, she lays back on the bed not noticing the unused condom on the night stand.

"Thanks for the ride" she places her purse in between her legs "No problem you got my number why you ain't just call me, if you was gonna get off this late? You know I would've came to get you" he tells as he stops at a red light turning his face to her "I didn't think you would've responded to me".

"Roe, you bout to be slapped no funny shit why would I leave you stranded?
