Streets and Streets IV

9. Moving

Sloane's Pov

It was freezing when I woke up with Emerald in my arms and the baby in his play pin. It had been three hours since we both passed out meaning I was super late for my pop up visit on Adrian. I slid from under Emerald's sleeping body to check on the baby before getting in the shower. Khalil was the best baby ever. As long as he had food in his belly  and a dry diaper he was able to sleep peacefully and make himself laugh.

As much as I hated to be home I finally felt safe. Here I knew every possible threat that could arise. My family was back in the home that we built together in our city. I was able to move around in the dark with out making too much noise.

"Baby." Emerald sat up covering her chest. I grabbed a towel before responding.

"Shh baby go back to sleep. I'll be back." She was sleeping so peacefully I wanted to skip out with out waking her. She stood up taking the sheets off the bed to change them. Emerald place the sheets in our laundry basket and went to grab a new set.

"Shower with me." I walked up behind her as she compared one of the 2500 sheet sets we owned. I placed my hand on both sides of the linen closet blocking her in.

"Don't you have to go?" She said sarcastically. She turned around looking up at me. There was a slight staring contest.

"I'm already late." She took a deep breath allowing me to grab her hand.

"Just a shower." She dropped the sheets in the bed as we walked.

The warm water graced our body's as the tension grew. I kissed her forehead before moving to her neck. The both clubs have been bringing in more money than I could imagine even with Sean's naively making moves. But the fact that I was becoming more and more hands off was a problem.

"Mmmm." She moaned as I inched my way closer and closer to her nipple.

"You have to go to... to the club." She said trying to remind me that there was no time for round 2.

"Erica still coming over?" She mentioned it earlier and time was ticking away. The smell of lavender
Filled the air.

"She will be in like an hour." I stooped down licking her pearl once just to see her reaction.

"What happened to a quick shower." She places her hand on my Head pushing me deep in her sweet being before the baby started to cry.

"So much for that." I returned for my feet. We quickly washed up and got out of the shower.

"Pass me my shirt." She still slept in my high school jersey no mater how tattered it was. She slipped it over her head and jogged to Khalil. I could get her talking to the baby while I dried off and put on the white button up I left out when I got home.

"Look at Daddy." She stood in the door way bouncing the baby. The closer she stepped to me the more he reached out for me. I couldn't resist his little smile and scooped him up.

"My baby is one I'm a few weeks." She kissed his chubby cheeks. Everything for the baby's party was set to happen on the west coast which wasn't a bad thing.

"Why don't we stay?" I looked at her. While I waited for a response I continued getting dressed with my free hand.

"Stay here? You just opened..." I paused her.

"We... we just opened a strip club in the middle of Las Vegas that runs its self. I plan on sending Adrian out there for a little bit too." I mumbled the last part walking to find my pants.

"You what?" Emerald realized that I had peen planing this for a while.

"I had to come out here to check in on the house anyway. It was just going to be a few weeks from now. Plus I had had plans to renovate the club." I announced the first part of my plan. She was getting more and more pissed that she was just finding out about this.

"Adrian would stay in the condo for a while while she whipped Sean in to tip top shape. Maybe we can work in a restaurant but I want to do it here." I stared to rambled on and in about the possibilities. I sat the baby down while I finished getting dressed.

"Ok." She said simply helping me tie my tie.

"Ok?" I questioned.

"After the baby's birthday. So many people have ordered plane tickets and booked rooms." I shook my head in agreement.

Two hours later...

"The Hennessy bottle special is going well I see. Great job." I read the reports I had drafted. I didn't know what I was getting in to when I bought the club but everything is definitely paying off.

"Thank you. I admit since you opened the second club and dealing with Devin I didn't think I can do this. But honestly its second nature." Adrian said almost shedding tears. We were open so it was time to show her the options I had for her.

"How would you... Are you open to traveling." Her eyes lit up.

"I'm supper open to it. I rent an apartment with my friend Lacey and I need my own space. How far can you send me?" I zoned out after the name.  I ran my hand down my face.

"Lacey?"

"I'm sorry I know that she... let's just say she told me what happened." I decided to let it go.

"Vegas. The manager I hired needs help. You tell me if he can take it or if I need you out there for a few months." I handed her the keys to our place in Vegas.

"When you and Devin come out for the baby's birthday party I would like you to stay. Think about it." I stood leaving her in a state of shock.
