I close my eyes allowing the water to run over my face and hair while I take a much needed shower. This stress of today has been more than I can handle but now that I've gotten a chance to calm myself down I realize I could've handled the situation better than I did but in the moment it felt as if someone just pulled the rug out from under me. I allowed all the little things Lexus has ever said to Vanessa to build up and seeing them kiss was the cherry on top for me. I stop the water hearing the door open then close then I hear my keys drop onto a hard surface so  I go back to what I was doing realizing it's just him. "Rayne...baybeh?" He calls out right before he barges in the bathroom.

"What are you doing?" I stop the water once again seeing him strip down through the glass door. "You were right and I'm sorry." He takes his shirt off. I grab my towel adamant that he's not getting in here with me. I wrap the towel around my body then I step out of the shower. "I know I was right."

I detangle my curls in the mirror.

"And I hope you find it in your heart ta forgive me." He gets back down on one knee with the rings I left in my car. I don't turn around I just look at him through the mirror looking like a sad puppy. I already forgave him but I just wanna see him work for it a little longer. "I want you ta take these rings and put em on your finger and never take them off unless you around your pops." He laughs. "Please." I turn around taking the rings out of his hand and on my finger without saying anything to him.

"You givin' me the silent treatment?" He gets off his knee. I continue to comb my hair while he stands directly behind me.

I put my hands on both sides of her hips rising the towel a little every time I move my hands up then down. I'm a little tipsy and well a lot of horny. Hennessy will do that to you though. I had a few sips at the bar attached to this hotel before I came up to the room to mentally prepare myself to argue some more but that backfired. "You so beautiful." I mumble about to suck on her neck until she turns around stopping me. "Are you serious right now?"

"Boo imma be very blunt and honest witchu'." I lick my lips looking at her. "I needa have sex or somethin'." I pick her up setting her on the sink ready to put her in a damn wheelchair. "Oh. Well that's all you had to say. Do you have everything you need?" She asks I assume referring to condoms. I reach in my pocket and I set the lil box next to her. I begin to kiss her neck while I grip on her upper thigh until she begins to laugh. "You bought condoms?" She laughs until she snorts.

"Uh yeah? You don't wanna use em'?" I ask confused. "I'm allergic to latex for one and two I thought we were talking about lotion-" she laughs harder. "Because you're not having sex with me anytime soon. God, I needed to laugh." She wipes a tear from her eye before she gets down grabbing the box of condoms and throwing them in the trash. "Open your towel real quick then." I say knowing damn well she's gonna say no. Imma have to go off memory like I'm in prison.

She gives me a warning look before she exits the bathroom. I suck my teeth deciding to just get in the shower and handle my business.

Present Day

My eyes open slowly. I groan attempting to sit up but pain shoots through my body so I fall back. I begin to realize I'm at a hospital hooked up to all types of machines. I turn my head to look through the windows of the hallway and I see Rayne holding Lenoxx shocking me. Something bad must've happen. I watch her argue with Mr. Morris in the hallway. I never seen her dad look so upset before. "When were you planning on telling me? Your mother is probably rolling in her grave."

"No you don't get to say that! You don't get to bring up my mother. I need some support and all you're doing is yelling at me." She cries. "They want me to pull the plug, it's been a month. I don't know what to do daddy." I groan looking for a button to call someone. "I love him too much to let him go." Rayne cries in her dad's arms. I finally find the button and a nurse immediately comes in dropping her clipboard once she sees I'm awake. "Mr. Alsina? I'm just gonna check your eyes." She flashes a small light in both my eyes. "Give my fingers a nice big squeeze." I squeeze her fingers then she lifts the covers covering my feet. "And can you feel this?" She asks running her pen on the bottoms of my feet. I nod. Rayne comes in the room and our eyes lock.

"Oh my God. Thank you God, thank you." She whispers holding Lenoxx close to her. "Can you talk Mr. Alsina?" I try to say something but my voice cracks so the nurse gives me a cup of water. "What'd you say Mr. Alsina?" I clear my throat looking at Rayne.

"I want ah divorce."

Her face drops. "You want a what?"
