Love Bites

Ch. 30

Beyoncé // BeyBey

"You sure you ready for that kinda commitment?" Shawn asks as we pass the blunt around.

"Yeah, Bey, that's a serious step." Trey says. I take back the shot of Henny I had before taking the blunt from him.

"I'm ready, I'm just worried they aren't."

"They are." Daya says as she takes the blunt from me. "I see the way they both look at you."

My face heats up and a smile hits my lips as I think about them. "I just wanna get this bullshit fixed first. If we can handle Robs family, shit will be smooth sailing."

"For damn sure. They burnt down a whole fuckin business, yo. They ain't gonna stop til either they're dead or one of us is." Shawn says with a shake of his head. And he's right. The other night when Shawn called us downstairs it was to tell us these fuckers burnt down our mama's favorite business.

Everyone nods their head in agreement before Em runs into the backyard. "Yo, I think we found where they're hiding out."

"Monica and Rorrey?" I ask as I stand to my feet.

"Yeah. I got some guys staying on em, but we should move quick."

"Should I go get the girls?" Daya asks as she starts walking backwards.

"Nah." She stops walking and arches her brow at me. "I wanna do this without them."

"Bey-"

"They'll get over it."

"Do you not remember how bad shit got the last time you hid this from them?" Shawn asks with a disapproving tone

I take a deep breath and rub the back of my neck.

Fuck... he's right.

"Go get em." I say quietly to Daya who gives me a soft smile and nods before leaving. "Oh, and Z! Have Ari stay with the twins." She nods again before running inside.

Not even two minutes later Rih and Nicki were in the living room with us.

"What's going on?" I walk over and grab Rih's face in my hands.

"Em found ya moms and brother." Her face drops slightly before I hear her heartbeat speed up.

"Let's go." She says with a shrug before heading to the door.

I look at Nicki who has a sad expression on her face as she watches Rih walk out the door.

I lace my fingers with hers as we head outside behind Robyn, towards the suv.

"We let Robyn take the lead on this." I tell everyone before we all pile into the SUV since Em, Trey, and Daya are taking the other one. Everyone says an okay or nods before we get in and head out.

I pull Robyn over to me and wrap my arms tightly around her waist. She continues staring ahead, like she's stuck in a trance, never once looking at me or Nicki.

When Em's SUV stops ahead of us, we all look out the window to see where we are.

I watch as Em pops the back of his Cadillac and starts pulling stuff out. Shawn opens the back door, and the girls and I step out and walk over to the rest of the crew.

"What is that?" Nicki asks as she points to the bomb in Marshals hand.

"Its a vervain bomb."

"That'll kill us too, Em." Nicki says while blinking slowly causing some of us to chuckle.

"I know, lil mama. That's why either myself or Wayne will handle it since vervain doesn't hurt us. This gun has extracted venom from Bey and Shawn, so be careful with that one." He says while handing a dart gun to Nicki.
