Roses {Finished}

Part 21

"All y'all have to do is spray paint a few words, flip over some furniture, and bust one window."
"That's it?"
"Yeah, I ain't trying to do too much."
"Iight."

Few hours later
Jay POV

"Yeah man. I need those orders in by next week." I hung up the phone. My GM is sick so I had to step in and do his job today.
"Aye boss man."
"Wassup man?"
"Your wife is here."
"Cool tell her to come back."
"Iight."
Bey walked in with Blue. "Daddy!"
"Hey baby girl!"
"We brought you lunch from BBQ's."
"Aww you thought of me?"
"Mhmm." she said smiling.
"Uh no she didn't." Bey said laughing. "This little girl kept trying to sneak and eat your fries."
"Blue you was trying to eat all my fries."
"Not all of them daddy."
I shook my head, "Well here you can have some."
"Thank you daddy!"
"So what y'all do today?" I said as Blue sat in my lap eating my fries and playing on her IPad.
"We went over to Kelly's so we could discuss a patient I referred to her. Blue and Titan played for a little bit. Then we went to the mall to do a little shopping."
"A little?"
"Well..."
"Bey what's a little? Because your little and mine are different."
"Five."
"Hundred? That's not bad." I said eating a wing.
"Thousand."
"Five thousand dollars in a few hours?!"
"It wasn't just for me. We went and got Grandma Hattie's birthday present. Blue needed some new summer clothes because she can't wear the ones from last year. And we got the twins' birthday presents for them."
"Bey that's a lot of money."
"I'm good for it."
"I know but we have to save. We just took out a lot to renovate the club."
"Fine, I'll be more conscious."
"Thank you."
"So what you gone do when you leave here?"
"Just try to do some work so I don't have to come in tonight."
"That's go-"
CRASH!
"What the hell was that?!" Bey said.
I checked my cameras, shit. "Bey take Blue and go to the safe room." I said picking Blue up and giving her to Bey.
"Wait, what?"
"Listen to me. Take Blue in the safe room and don't come out or open the door until I come get you." I said grabbing her face.
"But-"
"Bey just do it."
"Okay, okay."
I walked them there and gave them both kisses. "There's a gun in the safe over there. The safety is on. If anyone besides me comes back here, I want you to use it."
"Don't talk like that."
"I'm seroius. You can figure out how to use it right?"
"Yeah, it shouldn't be that hard to shoot a gun."
I smiled, "I'll be back."

Bey POV

It's been a few hours and Jay still hasn't come to get us. I'm really getting impatient. What if something happened to him? No, I can't think like that. Blue cried herself to sleep a little while ago. I heard the locks being undone. I clinched the gun in my hand ready to shoot the person who walked in the door, but it was just Jay.
"Baby!" I said running and jumping in his arms.
"Ahh."
"What's wrong?" I said getting down beginning to worry.
"Nothing, I'm just a little sore. I'll be fine."
I raised up his shirt to see bruises on his stomach and chest. "What the hell happened out there?"
"Just some young thugs trying to prove their loyalty for some gang or some shit."
"Young thugs?"
"It's cool babe. I handled it."
"Why you holding your arm?"
He dropped his arm, "It's nothing."
"Oh it's nothing?" I put pressure on it.
"AHHHH SHIT! What you do that for?"
"What you lying for? And be quiet your daughter is sleeping."
"Okay, maybe one of them shot me."
"THEY DID WHAT?!"
"Aye, be quiet." He pulled me into the bathroom in here and closed the door.
"Jay how the hell did they shoot you?"
"How am I supposed to know?"
"Where was security?"
"I guess not paying attention. They snuck in the back way."
"I want them fired immediately."
"Immediately."
"I'm serious."
"I hear you. But one of them pulled a gun when I was fighting one."
"Well did you see their faces?"
"Nah, they had masks."
I took a deep breath, "Sit down. Let me clean you up."
"I'm good Bey."
"You trust me?"
"Of course."
I kissed his lips, "Then let me do this."
I cleaned up his gun shot wound, which was a graze, and wrapped his stomach to protect his ribs.
"What you thinking about girl?"
"Why would somebody do this to you?"
He shrugged his shoulders, "Hell, I don't know. But it's in the past now. I'm alive and y'all are okay and that's all that matters."
"I want you to come home with us."
"I would love to."
"But what?"
"I have to stay here and file a police report."
"Jay, you're still injured."
"I know. I'll be home as soon as I can. I need to help them clean up so they can open on time tonight."
"I'd feel safer if we weren't alone."
"Here." he said pulling out his card. "Go get y'all nails done and try to relax for me."
"Okay, I love you."
"Love you too."

"Mommy let's get the same color."
"Alright, which color?"
"Hmmm... Let's get red!"
"Okay, I'd like two manicures please."
"No pedicure today Mrs. Carter?"
"Not today Amber."
"Okay, come on princess. Anne will do yours while I do your mommy's."
It only took us an hour to get our nails done, and Jay said he still wasn't finished so I decided to do a pop up.
"Thank you Amber, we'll see you next time."
"Bye Ms. Amber!"
"Blue we're going to see your auntie and uncle." I said helping her into the car.
"Forreal?" she asked excitedly.
"Mhm. You can play with Alana and Julez for a little while."
"Yay!!"
I pulled out the parking lot and dialed my sister's number.
"Yes Giselle."
"You busy?"
"Well I was going to take Julez to AAU practice in a few."
"You think Daniel can watch Blue for me?"
"Why?"
"Because I need you to ride with me somewhere."
"Yeah, I'll tell him. Let me leave now."
"Alana over there?"
"Yeah she's here."
"Cool I'll be there in thirty." I hung up.

"So where we going?"
I glanced at her, "To see Dre."
"He know we coming?"
"Nope." I said popping the P.
She nodded her head, "Well this should be interesting."
A few minutes later we pulled up to his apartment and I jumped out the car and went beating on his door. He opened it looking confused. I pushed my way in mad as hell.
"What y'all doing here? Nobody told me about a sibling meeting."
I punched him dead in the face and made him leak a little bit. I was too fucking pissed. My child was in that building.
"Because it's not one." I pulled my gun out and held it at my side. "Now, I want the truth."
"Giselle what the fuck?!" Solange said shocked.
"Who tried to rob the club?"
"It wasn't me or my people." she quickly spoke up.
"I know." I turned my attention to Andre. "Joseph, who did you send to rob my husband?"
"I ain't send nobody to rob him."
"You're lying." I cocked the gun.
"Nah, I'm not. I sent a few dudes to mess the place up a little bit but that's about it."
"So them fighting him and shooting up the place wasn't your idea?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"See I don't know nothing about that."
"Who was it?"
"Who was who?"
"Who did you send?"
"Now you know I ain't no snitch."
"You wanna die or just tell me a simple fucking name." I said as calm as possible.
He glared at me, "Aye Tom and Jerry! Come here!"
I saw these two boys walk in from the back. One short dude with a black eye, who I'm assuming fought Jay, and another taller buffer looking dude.
"Which one of y'all shot the club owner?"
They looked at each other and back at Andre. "Uh hello! Speak up!" I said getting impatient.
"I did." the bigger one said. "He was choking J out so I had to get him off."
That's all I needed to hear. POW! I shot him right between the eyes. Then I shot the other one in the arm.
"Yo! Giselle what the hell you do that for?!"
"I specifically told you to drop whatever little thing you had against Jay. But you don't listen." I said turning towards him. "You lucky I didn't shoot your ass!"
"Giselle what's going on?" Solange asked.
"Your brother sent these two clowns to Jay's club and his dumb ass didn't think to check the place out first."
"Yes I did! I ain't dumb!"
"If you checked the place thoroughly then you would have known that your sister and niece were in that dam building!!" I yelled at him. His face dropped. "You would have known that not only were you about to hurt my husband but me and my daughter as well!"
"BB-"
"No! I told you I would do anything to protect my family. He attempted to kill mine, so I ended his life. I would have killed him but he took his ass whooping like a big boy. He got shot because he bruised my baby up."
"Dre why would you do that?" Solange asked.
"...."
"Hello?" she said snapping her fingers in his face.
"Look, it wasn't even supposed to get that far."
"That far? You've always been reckless which is why daddy wouldn't solely hand over the business to you."
"Dre what's the real problem you have against Jay?" Solange asked.
"Dad wants her home with us and-"
"Stop right the fuck there. He put you up to this?"
"He wanted to see how he would handle something like that. He wanted to show that he couldn't and isn't capable of protecting you."
"Y'all can both kiss my ass. Like both of y'all ain't shit."
"BB I'm just doing what he wants me to do."
"Well ole boy's death is on you because you don't think for your dam self. Call somebody to clean this up and get me his info so I can do what I have to."
"You don't run shit here."
"I really don't give a dam about what you say. Now..." I said as I got in his face, "Either you clean it up or call somebody to do it. And get me his information so I can go deliver this fucking rose!"
