Zaire's POV
Last night was crazy as hell. I finally told Lani about the shit that was really bothering me. My mom hated me to be honest. Even though she says that she doesn't. She will never be able to forgive me. I killed the person that she loved the most in this world. He was gone like that. In the blink of an eye. I killed my own father. The man that made me. My own flesh and blood. But I had to do it, he was going to kill Lelani. I couldn't let that happen. Just like my mom was his world, she was mine. She was pregnant with my kids. I had to do everything in my power to protect the one that meant everything to me. She was and still is my world. My rock. My other half. Shit she my better half.
I woke up the next morning and looked down at Lani. She was sleeping so peaceful. It was cute. I put my hand on her stomach. I can't wait until my kids het here man. Then I'll have my family and I'll really be good.
"What are you starring at?" She questioned me stretching.
"I thought you were sleep." I said.
"No I was waiting for you to wake me up, but I guess you weren't." She replied.
"Baby. I know you told me to wake you up before I go to work, but I just wanted to let you sleep. I know how tired you be." I whispered leaning down to kiss her.
"Right." She pushed my face back and stormed into the bathroom.
Damn, I'm really not beat for one of her little mood swings this morning. I have way too much shit in my mind right now. I followed behind her. She turned on the shower and stepped out of her clothes. She rolled her eyes at me before she jumped into the shower.
"Why do you have an attitude." I yelled walking towards the glass door.
"You might wanna hurry up before your late." She chuckled.
This girl is crazy as hell. You see what these babies are doing to her.
"So your just going to ignore me?" I questioned ".
"Not right now Zaire." She mumbled.
"Ard yo." I said storming out of our room and into one of the guestrooms.
I decided that I was going to take a nice hot shower. This girl really do be stressing a nigga out.
"Are you mad at me?" Lani whispered trying to hug me from the back.
"Ye-no,baby I'm not mad at you." I replied turning around. I couldn't stay mad at her no matter what the situation was. All she had to do was put on that little puppy face and make her voice all soft and shit. She had a nigga weak as hell. I don't care what nobody says, she my baby and always will be.
"Better not be." She smiled, pecked my lips and walked out the shower.
"What am I going to do with you!" I yelled out after her.
"Just love and fuck me." She chuckled.
{Half-hour Later}
I jumped out of the shower and threw on my clothes. I brushed my teeth and my hair. I threw in some cologne and went downstairs. I just knew that Lani made my ass breakfast. Well I thought wrong. She was on the couch knocked out. I grabbed the blanket that was on the back of the couch and put it in her, grabbed my car keys, kissed her lips and was out the door. I wanted to go and checkup on my car dealerships. Just make sure that everything was going right.
"Mr.Howard, you have someone waiting for you in your office." My receptionist Gina told me.
"Ard Gina, thanks." I replied very skeptical.
I walked towards the back and grabbed my gun out of my briefcase. I slowly walked into my office and pointed the gun at my.cousin Dre. What the hell was he doing here? Was I this easy to track down?
"Dre, what the hell are you doing here?" I questioned him.
"Man, I came to tell you that they after you bro." Dre answered sitting down.
"What you mean they after me? Who?" I yelled getting pissed off.
"Malko and his crew. They been trying to find you for a minute now. They want to take you out. I've been looking for your ass for a long ass time." Dre replied trying to calm me down.
"Damn, so what I need to do is leave the states. Huh?" I said thinking out loud.
"Yeah, just until I get rid of these niggas." He said.
"Ard, well I'm bout to go and get Lani together. Meet me at the bar right in Hollywood and Vine." I said getting up. (Btw, I just made this street up)
"No, you can't bring her." He yelled.
"What tf you mean I can't bring her. She carrying my kids Dre. She my life. Did you forget about that." I said pacing back and forth. Now I was pissed tf off forreal.
"Bro, it's toi risky. She need to stay here and stay safe. We gotta throw them off. My girl gonna stay with her, keep her safe. She can't know about this and I'm not gonna tell my girl. We need to get you out of here quick and then we gonna come back for her, I promise." He said walking towards me.
"So what am I supposed to do. She know me too well. I can't just up and leave her." I whispered rubbing my head.
"You gonna have to fake your death and disappear."Dre said handing me a manila folder with documents.
"Damn man. When do we start?" I asked.
"Two days from now." He answered.
"And how do I know this ain't a set up." I replied grabbing my gun.
"Zaire, please trust me in this. I never told or did you wrong." He said.
He was right. I just didn't want to leave Lani. How could I? This can't be happening. Whatever I had to do to keep her safe I will.
"Ard bro, don't forget to meet me tonight 10 o'clock sharp." I said unlocking my car doors.
"Ard one." He said dapping me up.
"Aye Dre, it's never really over is it?" I asked him.
"It will be soon. I promise." He replied hugging me and then getting into his car and pulling off.
Damn, what did I bring Lani into???
