Loving Khyree (That Zaddy Collection Book #1)

Natalie

I groaned when I kept hearing my phone vibrating on my dresser. I was wrapped under Khyree and I didn't wanna move. I dunno what time we came in, Doobeys closes at three and I remember leaving, so I'm sure we came in around four or something. The vibrating stopped and it started back up again, I moved against Khyree and reached back blindly searching for my phone on the dresser. I looked at the ID and it was Bray.

"Yeah..." I said groggily. Khyree wrapped his arm firmly on my waist and I gave a smile and played with his beard.

"Nat...don't trip. Give him the chance to explain." Bray said hurriedly. I grew more alert by how frantic his voice sounded frantic. "C'mon bae hurry up..." I heard him say in the background.

What..?

"Bray...what's wrong...?" My phone beeped, letting me know I had another call. It was Andre. "Hold on...dad calling me."

"Wait Nat-"

"Hey Daddy..." I watched Khyree open his eyes and stare down at me. I leaned up to give him a kiss.

"Natalie...where are you?" He only called me by full name if something was wrong.

"I'm at Andy's, you know that...why you and Bray sound like y'all rushing?" There was a knock on my door.

The fuck is going on...?

"Yeah..?" I ain't feel like getting up. Another beep came on my phone, this time it was a group message.

Kenny: we on our way

Trace: WGCI now, I'm omw

Tracey mentioned the local TV station. It was local, but real popular. Looking at the time, it was the morning news hour. I hope no one got hurt, I know we dropped everyone off. Andy walked in and a sad smile was on her face, she looked at Khyree and back to me.

"It's ok honey..." She said. Ok now I was feeling antsy, staring at Andy I called Alexa.

"Alexa, put on WGCI morning news." I said, why I felt nervous? My TV turned on and there were two reporters. Michelle Price and Curtis Phelps.

"As a recap....a tip was received this morning, by one our producers. The bodyguard of up and coming actress Natalie Miller, has a very troubling record. There has been court dockets and police reports that has shown that Khyree Watts, was arrested on aggravated manslaughter and domestic violence of DeMarcus Olom and his mother, Carly Watts. At the time of the incident, Khyree was 12, but sentence to 25 years at just 13. This has brought grave concern for the safety of the popular social influencer, who is also the daughter of senator Francesca Simmons and State Attorney Andre Simmons. The question that is being asked is, with State Attorney Simmons knowing the story of Khyree Watts, why did he risk the safety of his daughter in his care?" Curtis said.

I was confused and looked over at Khyree, his head dropped down in shame and he slowly slid off the bed. I'm not gonna lie, my heart was beating hard. That's anybody's initial reaction, when they've heard someone they care about, committed a serious crime like murder.

"Natalie Simmons is Boston's rising social influencer who has a starting role...."

I blocked Michelle out. I watched Khyree and looked back at Andy. She knew. Dad and mom knew, Bray had some idea....Khyree didn't tell me...

"I'm sorry..." He mumbled.

I got up on the other side of the bed. The three of us on each end. I turned to Andy, I shot her my first statement.
