Only Fools Fall For You

Part 17

Yemi Wilson

It's been, three days and nothing. We have people looking for them in every state, possible. I couldn't sleep too long but I ate everything, not because of the baby. I usually eat when I'm stressed. Derek has been here for me, taking care of me, sleepless nights and he goes to work and come back and repeats. Right now, I'm with my sister. "Come on, let's get some fresh air in here." She opened my windows.

"Close them."  Was all I could do. I was too weak to stand on my own and I'm too scared to try. "We will find them, Derek and Marcus won't give up, I won't give up and neither will you. If you say that Bentley won't hurt them then they're fine." I really hope so.

"Isn't this fun?" I asked them as we went on another kid ride. They were so distracted by fun. "Mhm, this candy taste really good." Zamia commented. "Where you guys wanna go now?" They stood there with their tiny hands on their cheeks. So cute. "We want food, then we wanna go get pretty clothes."

"That's great and after that, we'll go to another country and have fun there." They gasped. "Where are we going?" Zamia asked. "Australia." Zania clapped her hands squealing. "I wanna see a koala!!" When they smile all I see is Yemi, it pissed me off but I didn't wanna show it, they were having so much fun with me. Everywhere we went, I took pictures and put them in a box. I'll send them to Yemi.

That same night I woke up to the girls laughing. "Yeah mummy, we're fine, daddy took us to Paris." I ran into the room and grabbed the phone from them, hanging up. "What do you think, you're doing?" I yelled at them.

"We were just talking to mummy, daddy." Zania whimpered, bending her head. "Dammit!!" I started packing our clothes. "Time to go girls." I grabbed them, getting into the car as we drive to the airport. "Daddy I wanna see mummy, I miss her." Zania said, looking sad. "But we're having fun." I grit my teeth together, trying not to yell at her.

We boarded the plan with ease, thank God. "When can we go see mummy?" Zamia asked me, looking out the windows. "Yeah, I wanna see Derek!" She smiled at me. "Why do you wanna see Derek?" I looked at my daughter. "He's fun to play with and he makes us comb his long hair." They giggled.

That Bastard

I cried in his arms as he contacted the police in Paris. We finally found them. "What do you mean?" He shouted into the phone and then he hung up. "What happened? Didn't they find him?" He sighed. "He got away. He had already left the country before they could get the word out." I held my stomach, breathing in and out. "Relax, I won't give up, I have a plan, don't worry."

I hope he was right, I can't take this anymore. My sister and her husband, stood in the room with us. "We'll find them, don't you worry." Nina hugged me in her arms. I was losing hope slowly. I know that I shouldn't but it was only so much that I could take.

"Can we call mummy now?" I rolled my eyes at them. We were on the streets of Australia, buying them some clothes. "In a minute." A shoulder, bumped into mine. "Oh sorry there." I looked up to see a man, smiling at me. "It's fine." I was about to turn and walk away but he stopped me. "An American, nice! I'm from Cali, moved here a couple years ago." I nod like I actually gave a rat's ass.

"That's cool." He looked at the girls. "Oh these are your daughters? They're precious." He waved at them and they waved back. "Thanks but I'm in a hurry so-" The guy nods his head and pat my back. "Sorry to bother you, take care, girls." He walked away. That was strange. People could be so friendly sometimes. I held the girls' hands as we crossed the road. 

"Look, daddy, that's you!" Zamia smiled, pointing the screen. Oh shit, this is bad. 'Wanted man, if seen, please contact the authorities. Kidnapper and murderer.' Dropping my head, low, I sped walked to a shady area and sighed. "Stop walking so fast, daddy, you'll fall." Zania scolded. Just like her mother.

"There he is!!" I turned, seeing the man from earlier and police. "Daddy, what's going on?" She asked in a scared voice. I held them tight, running off to my car. I'm not getting caught. Looks like we are gonna cut things short. I threw them in the car and got in, speeding off.

"Daddy, please slow down." Zamia cried. "Shut the fuck up!!" I swerved on to a dirt road driving, until the sirens were gone. "Daddy we wanna go home now." Ignoring them, I got out of the car and went to the trunk, pulling out my gun. Going to the backseat, I pulled them out the car. "Daddy what are you gonna do with that?" 

"I'm gonna send us to a place where they can't find us." Taking their little hands, I took them into the woodsy area. "Daddy, look! A koala bear!" The girls looked at the creature in amazement. "Doesn't it look pretty?" I said, removing the safety on the gun, pointing it to their heads. Tears ran down my face as I placed my finger on the trigger.

I can't do it.

Dropping to my knees, I cried. I cried for my marriage I fucked up, I cried for my kids, I cried for myself. I knew that I couldn't back out of this now, it's too late for that. "Don't cry daddy, we'll see mummy soon. I promise." Zamia was such a sweet child, they both were. 

"How about camping out here for a few nights? Then leave? Does that sound fun?"

No turning back.
