The Cartel Part 2: A Thin Line

13

Flinching from the bright sun beaming into her eyes, Paris rolled over and groaned as Shane continued to slide the curtains back that covered their wall to wall balcony doors.. Going further underneath their all white Dolce & Gabbana comforter set for a moment she missed the days Shane was off handling business in the streets and not bothering her at 6 am to wake up .. She would sleep in for as long as she wanted without a care in the world ..

"The fuck is wrong with you?! I'm still sleeping .." She said, her voice hoarse

Whether it was for sex or breakfast, she was guaranteed to be woken up by 6 am courtesy of her husband for an alarm clock, Shane Carter ..

"I told you to stop letting his ass crawl in our bed in the middle of the night .." He replied as he walked his way over to the sitting area of their bedroom and proceeded to roll up a blunt ..

Paris looked down to see her son Skyler snuggled up underneath her snoring lightly .. Shane was adamant about all of their kids staying in their own beds, but his son was the one who didn't give a damn about what he said .. When Shane was out of the country he slept with his mom, and when his dad was home he'd fall asleep in his own bed then sneak in the bed next to Paris once they fell asleep ..

It got to the point where Shane would lock their bedroom door in the middle of the night to stop him from coming in, but once Paris found out she started unlocking it ..

So Shane always lost the battle ..

Smirking, Paris pulled her sleeping son closer to her and gave him a kiss on the cheek .. "Leave him alone .. they're only baby's for a little while" She said, as she carefully made her way out of the bed on Shane's side, trying not to wake him ..

"That nigga ain't no baby.." He replied

Walking into the bathroom, Paris began her regular morning ritual.. washing her face, she lathered it up really good before letting it sit while she brushed her teeth .. Any other day she would have tried to sleep in longer despite her husbands objections but today was different.. She had had enough trouble falling asleep last night, she knew she wasn't about to fall asleep on her own now that she was up. Her mind was on Kelsey, she didn't know how the day was going to end but she was certain it would be interesting ..

Smelling the loud aroma of weed, Paris finished what she was doing and came back out to sit next to Shane .. "Let me hit it .." She said reaching for the blunt

Smiling, Shane gave it to her as he sat back and exhaled the smoke .. "You ain't tellin me something, since when you wanna smoke this early ? And since when you get up this early without me having to make your ass get up ?" He asked

Smirking, Paris took a long deep pull before responding to him.. He knew her so good, almost too good .. "Maybe I'm just excited to see my sister in law.." She replied

"She won't be your sister in law for long, you better talk to her .." He said

Rolling her eyes, Paris gave the blunt back to him "Yeah, right Shane Carter .." She said, already knowing he was just trying to plant seeds in her head ..

"Yeah right what ? I'm serious .." He replied

"Shamar is not giving her a divorce, and definitely not this easy .. It's the same shit you tried to pull with me, and it almost worked .. So yeah, go try and use that reverse Psychology on somebody else .." Paris said as she stood up

"You here ain't you .." He asked with a smirk, slapping her ass as she walked by ..

Flipping him off, Paris grabbed her phone as she went downstairs .. Making sure she closed the door on her way out she dialed Kelsey's number.. Taking out pots and skillets, she took out everything she needed to get breakfast started as she waited for Kels to answer ..

"Hello .." Kelsey answered sounding confused

"What are you doin ?" Paris asked as she looked through the refrigerator for something to cook

"Paris, why are you calling me ? Why are you calling me on your cell phone at that ?" Kelsey asked

"Kelsey, there is nothing to hide anymore.. You're coming over right ?" Paris asked, already knowing the answer to her question

"But still, they could be tracking my location right now.. plus, it's 7 in the freakin morning !!" She groaned

"Well if they are tracking your location so be it, you bringing your new boo over here anyway.. He gonna know where I stay so it would be good to know where he's laying his head too .." Paris replied

Sensing some slight shade, Kelsey sighed as she sat up in the bed "So that's what this is about ? Him ?" Kelsey asked

"I'm just saying Kelsey, I don't know him .. You do !!" She replied

"And you think I would bring someone to your home where your kids, my nieces and nephews, you, and hell even sometimes my kids sleep who I wasn't too sure of? No, and you should know me better than that Paris .. I said trust me, not doubt me .." Kelsey said

"That's the thing Kelsey, I know better than that but your judgment is off a little right now .." Paris whispered as she heard foot steps coming from downstairs

"How ?" Kelsey asked getting annoyed

"By doing what you're gonna do today, knowing damn well your husband will blow this bitch up with you, me, your kids, my kids, his brother and him in it !! You know you married a psycho but you actin like you don't know .. or maybe you want him to react ? Christina has you feeling some type of way so you need to get even .. is that it ?" Paris asked as she watched SJ hit the corner along side his cousin Shamar Jr.

"Paris, I got this alright .." Kelsey said with a sigh

"Yeah, you better .." Disconnecting the call Paris turned her attention to the boys as they sat at the bar "Ya'll hungry ?" She asked with a smile

"We all hungry .." Shamar said, as he entered the kitchen followed by his girlfriend Christina and not far behind them was Shane

In Christina's hands was Kelsey's youngest daughter .. Slightly frowning, Paris pushed her thoughts to the back of her head for the moment .. wanting to keep the peace ..

"I think I liked it better when ya'll was barely home .." She responded, as she took out everything she needed to cook "Christina you can't cook ?" Paris asked .. earning a glare from Shane

Smiling, she looked at Shamar "Yeah, but your brother in law is a picky eater .. if it's not the way he wants it, he doesn't want it .." She replied

Smirking, Paris glanced at Shamar and continued what she was doing ..

Pouring her a glass of wine, she turned on some Ella Mai .. sipping, dancing and cooking her problems away while everyone sat around and talked .. watched football and played with the kids .. they all were in the middle of breakfast when the doorbell rang..

Switching the TV to the outside surveillance camera Shane frowned..

The whole mood changed as Shane and Shamar exchanged looks, the whole room instantly tensed up and Paris could feel it .. They knew something she didn't know ..

Turning their attention to Paris, Shane scooted his plate from in front of him "What the fuck is this ?" He asked
