The Case (BWWM)

49.

Before reading, not trying to force anyone but if I'm getting a lot reads on each chapter, it would be nice to comment as well.....

Kylie ~

It's now official that Issabella's case has been postponed and I can say from this that it's the best thing to happen for her right now. That was a close motherfucking call and I don't want her to rush into testifying again, ending up on a hospital bed and dying the next time.

I decided to leave to fly of to New York to finally re open Kayden's case properly and get the correct information they failed to ignore the first time round. I was quite surprised that Carter wasn't coming with me on this one, I really thought he would have my back for this case but looks like he got caught up with work........all of a sudden.

I was staying at my girls' house, Terry which was good for us both at the same time because we could get to catch up on everything that we've missed, but that was only really at night after she finished teaching and I mostly worked at home. I'm thankful at least that Ty isn't around because to be hearing them two getting it on, will make me start thinking of Carter and wishing he was here to fuck me senselessly.

I decided to wear a light brown long sleeve off the shoulders top with dark blue jeans with heels to prepare myself to come face to face with Hakeem after thirteen years of living of not seeing him. I know right, a little too fancy but hey I gotta try and look professional. I left my hair in it's curly state as it sat on my shoulders, checking the mirror to see everything was put in place before I snatched my bag of the table, ready to leave out.

•••

I made sure they told Hakeem someone was coming to visit him today but I didn't want him to know it was me or he would definitely oblige to it. To be honest, I don't even know if he has hate for me or not, it's just that imagine if I was in his shoes, imagine if people you thought you called family believed the justice system over your own brother's bestfriend and didn't come to visit you or write letters, nothing?- I would be pretty pissed of as well.

I made my way into the jail facilities and just to know, it was my first time seeing what an actual prison would look like. I was way too comfortable clinking in my five inch heels with the jail mates having visitation chats with their loved ones.

Only to come across a certain green eyes looking in my direction with a smug smile on his face was when my heart dropped. There he was, he sat their with his arms cross proceeding to get up and walk away- and this is why I wanted to face him instead of Carter.

He looked well put together, not saying he should be scruffy since he's being put in confinement, put damn the quick glance I got from him really made me realise how fine he is. He didn't wear his overall properly so his toned arms were visible to show as he was wearing a white t-shirt that showed the imprint of his perfectly defined abs. His hair was kept tamed neatly with a nice fade. His Carmel skin was left unscratched, but what would I know, if I came up close he might have a huge amount of tiny scares that I wouldn't be able to see from a far view from where I was standing.

'Are you okay miss?' I snapped back into reality as a security officer approached me

'Um- I er- yes' I nodded 'I'm look for Hakeem Williams........Family friend' I explained

I knew where he was, I didn't need guidance but I gotta be polite.

'Right this way ma'mam' he spoke to me as if I had higher authority than him

He guided me to where Hakeem was as the guard sat him into his seat several times, probably not wanting to see me and I couldn't blame him. I stood there dumbstruck on how I was going to start the conversation as his green eyes meet with my hazel eyes for the second time. I watched his eyes scan my whole outfit- he probably thinks I'm a fucking sellout by the way I dress.

'Hmm.......I'll sit......' he said still with his eyes on me as he made his way to his seat

He sat down with his legs wide apart casually as he stretched his veiny arms out with his hands resting on the table. I placed my bag on the table slowly before taking a seat my own self.

'Kylie Amber fucking Scott, I didn't think I see you again.........' he let out a sarcastic laugh

'I didn't expect to see you too' I admittedly told him as he gave me an unreadable expression on his face

It was like his whole world crashed when he took another good look at me, staring into my eyes. I grew uncomfortably but my gut told me not to look away as he might be trying to tell me something else.

Was it tears that were swelling up as his green eyes glistened? I felt a massive knot form in my throat, not wanting to look further as this was highly my fault just as well as other people that got him in the system for no fucking reason.

'I'm sorry.......' I struggled to get out as I too started to form tears in my eyes

'Why it gotta take you thirteen fucking years to see me man?' He sniffled as a lone tear escaped as he quickly wiped it away, trying to avoid my gaze

'I don't know..........' I couldn't come up with a better reason as I shrugged my shoulders in embarrassment and guilt as a tear fell down my cheek

'You don't know?........' he slouched back into his seat as he licked his lips, nodding his head in dissatisfaction

'Well I didn't know what to believe back then-' I sniffed through my tears '-like my mother told me one thing, your mother told me another, I couldn't wrap my head around the fact why you would kill my brother' I looked into the white plastic table in front of me as I watched the puddle form on the surface

'And you still believe that now?' His hoarse voice made me look up at him

'No, not now, I stopped believing what my mom said a couple years a back. Just growing up in Manhattan before I moved to go college, I saw a lot of police brutally and I knew you couldn't just up and kill my brother like that' I told him 'I'm really sorry I didn't come to you sooner- I really am' I told him again

'I know you are......' he cracked a small smile even though I could still tell he was hurting

'Sooooo.........how have you been holding up?' I asked him trying to move away from the subject

'Well, I could say I've been doing pretty good, pissed my pants a couple of days but I got used to it, made some friends, you know......' he openly stated as I laughed knowing that he's alright 'I feel better now that I've got to see you. Look at you- looking all fine and shit, who been treating you right?' I saw his eyes lower at me as he licked his lips

'Me, I've been treating myself good-' I told him

'Really........you meaning to tell me no man has swept you of your feet as yet- if I weren't all caged up I would've wifed your ass time ago' I rolled my eyes playfully at his slick talk

'Boy shut up!' I laughed at his remark

The laughter seemed to soften as his eyes came back to meet mine- why the fuck do we keep on doing that? '.....For real though I really missed you' he confessed

'I missed you too Hakeem' I smiled lightly at him, wanting to get his touch for some random reason

'You know the first thing I thought about getting into these jail cells was you, you know. I could picture how fucking confused you were, lost......sad- sad at the fact Kayden was gone, I wasn't even here to tell you everything was okay and I never even got those moments with you before I was locked up for good. I would beat myself about what would've happened if none of this didn't take place back then, I was waiting to get a visit from you..... A letter and I never got any of that. As the years would go by, I would think about what you were up to even though I didn't want to. Yes I finna get sappy again, but my heart broke when I had to tell myself that I was forgotten in your memory. I wanted to have this sort of hate for you but I couldn't- I didn't even know what I was fucking feeling. I felt like I was in love with you, then I felt like I hated you.......'

'You felt like you were in love me?' I asked him cocking my brow in confusion

'Yes, that's how I felt, I couldn't get you out off head and I wanted to hate you for coming back thirteen years later but I just couldn't'

Ohhhh long chapter......

So what do you guys think of Hakeem????
