Independent In Love

Chapter Ten

Janetta stood there staring into Marcell's handsome face. She wasn't expecting to find him on the other side of her door. They had talked briefly at the hospital and she had told them where she was staying. She had no idea that he would actually show up.

"Are you going to let me in or stand there and look at me like I'm going to disappear." He smiled revealing his perfect teeth.

She finally got her bearings together and let him enter. The cologne he was wearing did something to her. He always smelled good and looked good. She turned around to find Marcell sitting back on the love seat as if he belonged there.

"Come and have a seat, sweetheart."

Janetta walked over and took a seat. She couldn't understand why she was so nervous. Maybe it was because she was alone with him. It wasn't like he was a stranger. To be honest it was hard to even explain. Her a 44 year old woman was a ball of nerves looking at Marcell's fine ass. He didn't look a day over 40. He still had his lean, muscular build with his dark wavy hair. When he smiled the corner of his eyes crinkled.

Marcell put you in the mind of Blair Underwood. The only difference Marcell was a little darker. She turned and looked at him. "What are you doing here Marcell?"

"I came here for you, Netta. You don't know how I have missed you. Day and night I thought of you. I chose the wrong one just as I know you did. When you up and left here, you took my heart with you," he reached and grabbed both her hands in his.

"Mar-"

"Netta I love you and always have. I feel like this was God giving us a second chance. I just hate that it was under these circumstances, but I feel like it's our time, love."

She sat there staring at him blankly. She didn't know what to say. To say she was stunned was and understatement. "Marcell I don't know what to say."

"That's fine because you weren't expecting this, but rest assure that you will be mine and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it."

Before Janetta could say anything Marcell had attacked her lips in a soul-shattering kiss.

Two days later.....

Jade was sitting up in her hospital bed looking out the window. She couldn't believe that she had almost lost her life. She could only imagine what Ante was feeling. The door to her room opened and in walked her gorgeous husband. He was rocking a pair of sweats and tee with a pair of his many J's. Destinee was dressed in some lil' leggings and cute baby J tee with her lil J's.

She burst into a fit of giggles when she saw Jade. "Mwummy, she squealed.

De'Ante brought over to the bed and placed her on Jade's lap. Destinee wrapped her chubby lil arms around Jade's neck. Jade hugged her back with so much love. Ante watched the scene and it warmed his heart to see his two favorite people. He bent down and place a linger kiss on her lips.

"I love you, Jade. And I was so scared that you was gon' leave a nigga. You my world girl. You and my baby girl." He smiled revealing those perfect ass teeth.

"I love you too, De'Ante. You are my world too. We have somethings th-"

"Jade let's not discuss that right now. Just know that I was wrong and as a man I can admit that."

Jade nodded and played with Destinee. De'Ante walked around and got on the other side of Jade. They sat there and enjoyed there moment. No words needed to be exchanged because the love could be felt from a mile a way. Destinee had feel asleep on Jade's chest. She rubbed her curls gently.

"When you are released I have a surprise for you. A surprise that I think you are going to love. Your husband got some things planned. You just gotta trust a nigga."

Jade looked at him and wanted to say something. Instead she just nodded her head. Whatever it was that De'Ante had up his sleeve, she hoped that it wouldn't do anything to put more of a strain on their marriage. Although she had been in a accident she didn't forget what happened before she left either.

Blu refused to eat or talk to anybody. She was only 24 and she was paralyzed. Blu had so much she wanted to do and now things were limited. Not only that no man would want her. Hell if Jayden didn't want her before he definitely wouldn't want her now. She was so frustrated and depressed because she couldn't do anything for herself. Just as she suspected her parents' didn't even come.

Her parents not coming hurt her more than anything. Really she shouldn't be surprised because things had been off with them for years. She at least thought that this situation would be different. Running her hands over her messy hair silent tears fell. She felt all alone and she felt like no one loved her.

In the midst of her thoughts her door opened and in walked Jayden. They stared at each other and he knew instantly that she was crying. His heart and soul ached for her. "Why the hell are you here?"

"Blu don't do that. You know why I'm here." He walked further into the room.

"Do I?" She challenged.

"How are you feeling?"

Blu glared at him like nigga really. "How the hell do you think I feel, Jayden? Here I am laid up in hospital bed and I can't even feel my legs. I can't walk. I can't do a damn thing and you stand there and ask me how I feel. You can walk and feel your legs, Jayden!" She yelled as angry tears slid down her cheeks.

He knew that she was hurting, but he couldn't even imagine what she was going through. He felt like shit because he wish that it was him lying in that bed instead of her. No matter how much she gave him hell and took her anger out on him, he wasn't going anywhere. He was going to be with her every step of the way because he loved Blu .

"Blu you can scream and yell at me, but love I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to be with you every step of the way."

"Why Jayden? Don't tell me because I need you 'cause I don't need your ass. When I needed you, you were busy chasing them ragged ass ho's. So you can do me a favor and leave me the fuck alone!"

"I'm not leaving you alone, Blu. And in all truth Blu  I need you. I need you more than you know. You can fight me at every hand, but you won't win because I'm not going no damn where." He grabbed her face and kissed her ending all discussion.

The journey was going to be a long one for all of them, but with love and patience they would get through all. Prayer and having undying faith in God would surely get them all through the trials and tribulation. It was only going to make them stronger, better and so much wiser.

Merry Christmas Again!
