Zaire's POV
I didn't want to go to sleep. I wanted last night to last forever. I just wanted to lay there and hold Lelani like this forever. I know that her losing me is going to devastate her. It's going to break her heart. But I have to do whatever I have to do to keep her safe. To keep my kids safe. I asked her to marry me right away and of course she said yeah. I just can't believe that I'm leaving her. I'm leaving my kids. She told me that the doctor mixed up her papers and she was really 8 months. My kids are coming sooner than what I thought. I wasn't going to be able to be here for the birth. For their first breathe, the first time they opened their eyes or the first time they smiled. What the hell kind of man am I? What kind of man does that make me?
I looked down at her and made my way to the bathroom. I threw some water on my face to try and calm myself down but it didn't work. I couldn't stop shaking. At the time that she needed me the most. But I need to do this. I have to do.what's best for her. I'll come get her as soon as I can.
I turned on the shower and stepped in. I had so much stuff on my mind at the time I felt like I was about to have a damn panic attack. It felt like my heart was breaking into a million pieces.
"What you thinking about?" Lani asked me wrapping her arms around my waist. I was so into my thoughts that I didn't even notice she got into the shower with me.
"Nothing, I just got a lot on my mind with the dealerships and stuff." I replied trying to come up with the quickest and easiest lie I could think of.
"What's really wrong with you Zaire?"
"Baby, it's nothing really."
"Mhm, right ok."
"Come on, today's the day. Don't be mad at me okay." I said not wanting to argue with her.
"Your right baby. Ok." She said kissing my chin.
About an hour later, we were dressed and on our way to the city hall. I know that Lani wanted a big wedding, shit I even wanted one too. But just with all the stuff that's going on right now I just needed and wanted to marry her as soon as possible.
Later that day...
Lelani and I are now happily married. She looked so beautiful in her wedding dress and she was glowing. Everything was going so good. I didn't want to leave her. Every time that I thought about having to leave her, I would get sick to my stomach. And she could tell that something was wrong. When we made it back to the house I made love to her one last time. As we were cuddling in bed, my cousin Dre called me and told me it was time. I told him that I was on my way.
"Baby, I gotta go, but I'll be back as soon as I can." I said getting up and throwing on my shoes. I was regretting this shit and I wanted to hurry up and get this shit over and done with.
"What? Where are you going?" She questioned me sitting up.
"I have to go and meet up with Dre real quick but I'll back ok." I said trying to make it seem like everything was good. When all I really wanted to do was lay back down and hold her.
"Meet up with him for what!" She said starring into my eyes. I couldn't look back at her. I wanted to tell her so bad but I couldn't.
"I love you." I said grabbing her and kissing her passionately for the last time. I got on my knees and kissed my kids. I pecked her lips one last time before grabbing my car keys and walking out the front door. I looked up to see her starring at me from our bedroom window. I knew that felt like something was going to happen. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't keep shit from Lani. There was no way in hell. She was always up on shit. Especially if it had something to do with me.
I looked down at my phone to see.that Lani was calling me. I couldn't bring myself to answer it. Then she texted me.
Lani-Bear:
If you don't amswer my next call. Ima come and find your ass!
Just then she called me. I picked up on the first ring.
"Zaire."She whispered into the phone. I could tell that she had been crying.
"Yeah?" I asked. At this point I didn't give a fuck anymore. No.matter what I did. How hard I tried, I just couldn't get my voice to change. I knew for a fact that Lani knew some shit was about to go down.
"You before I got the chance to even tell you that I loved you back. Zaire I love you with all my heart. Please come back to me tonight." She whispered before she bust out crying.
"I love you more Lani. I gotta go. Catch my heart." I told her.
"I caught it." Was the last thing I heard her say before I hung up the phone. I pulled up to the abandoned building and walked in. It was right in a dock. Dre and I had sat down at the table where his girlfriend stuck needles in our arms to remove the blood. I know that Dre said that he wasn't going to tell her, but just like Lani, she was on top of shit and she found out about our plan. If Lani wasn't pregnant I'm sure she would've been here right along with Dre's girl. But her ass would've got on the boat with us both.
Anyway, the plan was that Dre's girl was going to take our blood and make it seem like we were attacked and killed. Then after we left, she was going to take the blood and pour it into the water and make it seem like our bodies were thrown into the water and the police were never going to find it. She was also going to go back to my dealership and put our blood there too. We didn't want them to think that it was a drug deal gone bad. Then she was going to go back to my place and be with Lani until we got all this figured out. I.just hope and pray that she doesn't fumble and tell Lani about any of this. Lani has a way of finding shit out from people. Bad enough she's going to kill me when she finds out that I lied about all of this. Dre and I got up carefully. We walked towards the back of the warehouse and opened up the doors that led to the dock. When I turned around Dre and his girl were kissing. I walked out and jumped on the boat. I told the captain that we would be leaving in about 2 minutes. Right on que Dre walked out and jumped on the boat. He looked back at his fiance as the boat pulled off. She did just what she was told to do. We watched as she pulled the blood out into the water and she began wiping down the door handles with acid. I looked up and watched the moonlight make a path on the water as we sailed. The only thing that was on my mind was Lani.
Hawaii here we come...
