Black (Drugs, Love&Money Book 3)

Chapter Seventeen: Fortunate (1Year Later)

"You good with those shoes baby?"

"Yeah babe, I'm good."

I was lying. These pumps Zion had me in were murdering my feet. But it's her wedding so whatever she wanted she got.

It was amazing seeing both my father and Zion smiling and happy. I even seen my father shed some tears. She looked beautiful and I know my father is beyond ecstatic that she's his. Well she was already his but it's nothing wrong with making shit legal now-a-days.

It was time for them to do their first dance as husband and wife. All week I was wondering what song they used but Zion wouldn't tell me. When "You're All I Need" by Method Man starting playing I couldn't help but smile. My father and I used to sing this together all the time. They rapped and lip singed to one another and bopped to the music. This is how I wanted my father to be. Carefree and enjoying his youth.

"They look happy, don't they?"

Malachi brought me a drink then sat next to me. I smiled at him, loving to see his face. I never expected any type of happiness to ever happen to me. From a young age it's just been bull shit after bull shit, I didn't think I deserved it to be honest. But he showed me I was wrong. He showed me that it was okay to smile and laugh and be free. I leaned over and kissed him.

"What was that for?"

"Just because."

He smiled at me then we turned back to watch my parents dance.

By the end of the reception my feet were literally barking. I took off my shoes but it seem like as soon as I did, Zion was coming towards me with her hands on her hips.

"I thought I told you to keep those on all night."

"Ma, please. My feet are about to fall off."

Another song came on and she grabbed my hands trying to get me to dance. At this point, her getting what she wants is about to run out. I lazily let her lead me onto the dance floor.

"Can I cut in here miss?"

Malachi came next to Zion and me and she smiled and let him take my hands. She winked at me then walked over to Robyn and they started doing some old school dances that I didn't want to see anybody ever do ever again. Malachi and I laughed then he pulled me in close to him.

"I say after this is over you pack you a bag, come to my house, let me run you a hot bath with some scented oils, then massage your whole body. How does that sound?"

"Sounds like I'm ready to get the hell out of here now and do all of that and then some."

"Why are you so amazingly beautiful?"

I blushed and looked down. He cupped my chin and made me look back at him.

"Do you love me?"

I was taken back by his question.

"What?"

"Do you love me? Yes or no?"

I thought about all we have experienced since I've met him. The way he challenges me and I do the same for him. The way he looks at me in a way that makes me melt. The way he touches me that gives me chills. The way he cherishes me like I'm the only woman he will and has ever needed.

"Yes, I love you."

He took a deep breath then slowly got on one knee. I heard some gasps then the whole room got quiet.

"Malachi get up off the floor. What are you doing?"

I began to cry. I looked around me and Zion was crying too standing next to my father who was smiling from ear to ear. I looked down at Malachi and he looked back at me with unconditional love.

"I told you before I wasn't done dealing with you and I never will be. Jade, will you marry me?"

At this point I was sobbing which is something I never do in front of people but I didn't care. I loved this man and I only want to be with this man.

"Yes, yes."

He slowly got off of one knee then pulled me close to his body. He softly placed his lips on mine and everybody started clapping and cheering. He released my lips then looked me in my eyes and I saw that look. The look that tells me he wants to claim my body as his.

"Take me away." I said to him biting on my lip.

He grabbed me by my hand and we snuck off to the back of the venue. We found a bathroom and he pulled me inside, first checking if anyone was in there. No one was.

"In here baby? What if somebody walks in?"

"Then they'll just have to see that glorious ass of yours."

He picked me up and placed me on the counter and hiked up my dress. He got down on his knees and buried his face in my pussy. I smiled blissfully, starting my surrender to this man.
