The Love She Always Wanted

Chapter 12

Jennell POV

"I don't know. Are you sure this is gonna work?" I asked him as he approached at a stop light. "She saw your car. She knows it's you."

"Baby, relax." He said as he grabbed my hand and kissed it. "That's my sister. She would never rat me out, no matter what." He leaned over to kiss me. "Your makeup wipes are in the glover compartment. Wipe that shit off, baby. I don't like seeing you like that."

I smiled as I opened the glove compartment and got the wipes to clean the makeup off and reveal my bruise free face. Nelson continued to drive once the light changed.

He and I have been secretly dating for the past six months.

"How do you know we can trust this undercover cop guy?" I  asked as I continued to clean my face. "What's his name? Isaac?"

"You gotta call him Smoke, baby, we can't blow his cover." He said making me sigh. We stayed quiet until we pulled up outside of this house. We got out of the car and he walked over to my side. I looked down at his feet as he grabbed my hands. "You trust me, baby?"

I looked up at him. "Yes, more than anything." I said making him smile and kiss me. Even though I've seen how Jordan treats Marianna, Nelson told me about all the things he's done not only to Marianna, but to so many other families. I just can't look at him the same way. "Where are we?"

"Come on, you'll see." He said as he held onto my hand and led the way. We walked to the end of the block and then across the street to make a left. We walked halfway down the block until we got to this house. He knocked on the door and a white women who looked about 30 answered the door. Nelson nodded three times and she smiled and let us in. He led the way into the basement and there was a guy down here. "Smoke." Nelson says as he daps him up. Oh, so that's him. He's actually really cute.

Smoke pulled Nelson away from me and started whispering to him. I could still hear. I'm guessing Nelson didn't tell him about me.

"Who the hell is she?" Smoke asked him. "Why the fuck you bringing her up in here?"

"Chill, that's my girl, Jennell. She can help us a lot." Nelson says, which only made Smoke mad.

"Jennell? As in Jordan's sister?" Smoke sighed as he rubbed his face. "You must don't wanna take this nigga down, do you? He killed your mother, your father, and he beats your sister's ass and you bring his sister in here?"

Then Nelson whispered something to him that I couldn't hear which seemed to make him relax. He nodded and then he looked my way.

"Aight, man, I'ma trust you." He said before dapping him up. He made his way over to me smiling. "I'm sorry I wasn't very welcoming to you. I'm Smoke, it's nice to meet you." He held his hand out and I shook it. "My man, Nelson trust you and I can trust him, so you're always welcome and again, I apologize for not being welcoming."

Looking into his eyes was a mistake. They could manipulate any women into doing anything he wanted. I smiled and then let go of his hand. He motioned for us to sit on the couch. Nelson grabbed a hold of my hand and we sat on the couch together.

Smoke sat in the chair across from us and began to talk. "Alright...,"

Marianna POV

I was in the living room folding the clean laundry and Armani was playing with her toys on the floor. Jordan should be getting off work soon. He said he had good news.

After I folded the laundry, I walked into the kitchen. I decided to make chicken and bacon bagel sandwiches. Once it was finished, I placed them on a plate and sat it on the island.

"Mari!" Jordan yelled as soon as he walked in. He walked into the kitchen and kissed my cheek.

"How was work?" I asked him as he picked up a bagel sandwich. He grabbed my hand as he bit into the sandwich. We walked into the living too and he sat down then pulled me into his lap.

"It was good, baby." He said while smiling. I slightly laughed as I looked at him. He took a bite of the bagel sandwich. "This is good!"

"Tell me the good news you had, baby." I said while smiling. He finished chewing before he rubbed my thigh.

"So, you know how aunt Patrice was having me work part time and go to school so I can finish getting my degree?" I nodded. "Well, I did it and a law firm in North Carolina offered me a position. I'll still have to finish law school but, they're gonna pay my way and pay me more to work."

I don't know why but I'm not that happy about this. Yes, I was very happy for Jordan but I'm not too crazy about the idea of moving from Atlanta to North Carolina. I never went to college and here is he, a fucking felon and he's gonna work at a law firm.

"What's wrong?" He asked as he caressed my face. He was so happy and this is good thing. Not only for him, but for our family especially since I'm not working and he didn't selling anymore.

"Nothing! That's great, baby. I'm so happy for you." I said before kissing him. "Have you accepted it yet?"

"I wanted to talk to you about it first, but if you—"

"Baby, you definitely should accept it." I said while smiling. "When do they want you to start?"

"The sooner the better but I wanna start within the next three months." He said, dropping another bombshell on me.

How the hell am I supposed to pack up our lives, sell this house, and move to North Carolina within the next three months?

"Whoa, that's fast." I said as I stood up. I can't be selfish right now though. He was so excited. I stood in front of him and grabbed his hands. "Let's do it, baby." I said making him smile.

"Are you sure?" He asked and I nodded. "I love you." He said before kissing me.

"I love you, too." I said as I watched him pick Armani up.

"We're moving to Charlotte, baby girl." He said to her which made her kick her feet while laughing. He kissed her cheek.
