The Cartel Part 2: A Thin Line

39

They were given 24 hours for Blake to draw up the documents they needed to go through with their plans. Which was basically 24 hours to spend as much time with their kids as possible.. Blake agreed to help only if they found a new lawyer after he presented the documents, because he knew if Shane and Shamar found out that he helped them with their plan in any type of way he would be dead ..

Her mind deep in thought, Paris jumped as she felt Shane's lips connect with her neck ..

"Shit you scared me.." She said as she glanced back at him, she was at the stove cooking up Shane & SJ's favorite..

Smiling, Shane leaned against the counter by the stove ..

"What's wrong with you ?" He asked

"What you mean ?" Paris asked back, not making eye contact with him she focused on the task in front of her instead ..

"You got stupid drunk last night at the club, came home and turned into a damn certified porn star which I ain't complainin about by the way ..This your third time cookin today .. You got up at 7 this morning with a hangover and cooked a fuckin 5 star breakfast, just to turn around and cook everybody in the damn house exactly what they wanted, now you cookin chicken spaghetti, and all this other shit .." He replied with a chuckle "I mean, I appreciate it .. but just because I may be goin away soon don't mean you have to be slavin yourself .. come relax with me .. that's all I want right now .." Placing his arms around Paris' waist he placed soft kisses on her neck ..

"I will in a minute.." She said as she lightly removed his arms ..

She couldn't even look him in his eyes, Shane had a way of reading her and she knew if she made one wrong move he'd be down her neck like white on rice ..

"I smell food !!"

They both heard a voice coming from behind them, which Paris noticed as Shamar's ..

Turning around, she watched as him and Kelsey made their way into the kitchen..

"It's almost done .. " Paris said with a smile, grabbing the bottle of wine on the counter she headed outside as quick as she could .. She could also feel Shane's eyes on her ..

Once outside she heard the balcony door close, followed by the sound of stilettos ..

"What ?" Paris asked as she turned around to face her sister in law

"You alright ?" Kelsey asked

"No, I'm not fuckin alright Kelsey .." Paris replied as she took a swallow of her wine from the bottle .. She sat down on one of the pool chairs..

"Well you need to get it together.." Sitting beside her, she glanced towards the house to make sure they weren't being listened to .. "We have discussed this.. you have options .." She said ..

"I know, it's not prison I'm worried about Kelsey .. it's lying to him about it that's driving me insane .. he's gonna be so fuckin mad .." Paris said as she shook her head ..

"Well, good thing you won't be here to feel it .." Kelsey laughed

Smiling, Paris chuckled too ..

"Just enjoy today.. and we'll help each other get through the rest .." Kelsey replied ..

Nodding, Paris agreed..

Feeling her phone vibrate, Kelsey pulled out her cell.. frowning as she read the text message her change of mood didn't go unnoticed by Paris ..

"What ?" Paris asked

Sighing, Kelsey locked her phone "That was Blake, the documents have been sent over .. he said it's possible the feds will be here tonight if not in the morning .." She said
