One With The Ocean

28) dont do it

(Reina)

"WHAT THE HELL REINA?! DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU ARE FALLING FOR THAT ASSHOLE AGAIN?!" Keira screams at me. I sigh and hold the pillow tight as she lectures me. She paces back and forth, trying to calm down.

"Keira-" she cuts me off. "DON'T EVEN REINA! IM NOT IN THE MOOD TO DEAL WITH WHATEVER ELSE YOU HAVE TO SAY!" I scoff and throw the pillow next to me. "Wow Keira! I'm trying to tell you that Andrew assaulted me last night and all you care about is Matthew!" She stops completely and looks at my body. Once she found the faint mark she sits down next to me and holds my hand.

"Reina? I'm so sorry I'm just trying not to see you get hurt again. Clearly, I'm not doing a good job." I scoff and hold her hand tighter. "Trust me, you're doing more okay. You are the best friend anyone could ever have. I wish you were my blood sister that I never got but either way, I see you as a sister. I love you." We tear up and we both hug it out.

"I love you too biich." She mumbles into my shoulder, causing me to laugh. We eventually pull away and she sighs. "Now about Matthew. I won't say that I forgive him but I will try to make things work. Now the only person you have to deal with now is Curtis. He hates him more than I do but he does have a valid reason." I sigh and play with my fingers.

"I'll talk to him tomorrow but right now, I want to hang out with my girls. Let's go to the mall. Leilani, Sarah, you and I could all go. What do you say?" She smiles and nods. "I'm okay with that. Question is if Matthew is okay with it?" I shrug and stand up. "Oh don't worry about that, I have that handled."

(Matthew)

"No." She scoffs and crosses her arms. "Why not Matthew?! I want to spend the day with the girls! I think I deserve it after what the hell I've been through!" I sigh and put the files down. I look up at her and I could already feel myself giving in. I shake my head and look back at the file. "It's too dangerous. He could be looking for you. What if he gets you and harms you even more? You don't know what he's capable of doing to you."

She slams her little hands on my desk and looks at me. "And you do?!" I stand up and get irritated. "Yes I do actually! I spoke to one of his ex's and she told me not so good things." She scoffs and rolls her eyes at me. That's it. I grab her by her throat; not hard though and make her look at me. "Listen to me. This man has either killed his ex's or assaulted them brutally okay?! I don't know how I would react if he did either one to you. Shit, he already put his hands on you!"

Tears fill up her eyes and I kinda feel regret for yelling at her. She needs to listen to me though. I sigh and let go of her throat and sit down. I lean back and rub my eyes. She sits on my lap and hugs me. I hug her back and that's when I feel the wet tears hit my shirt. I calm her down and hold her as she cries in my hold.

"I just want to hang with my friends. Why can't I ever stay away from trouble?" She whispers. I pull away and hold her face. "It's not you that brings them around okay? You just don't notice people's intentions at the right moments. And there's nothing wrong with that. How about this? You guys could have a girls day here. They could sleep here and they could even bring the guys." She smiles and nods.

"I'm okay with that. Thank you." She kisses me and I gladly kiss them luscious lips. "No problem baby, I just want to keep you safe for now on. And if that means dealing with the everyone over? That so be it. I love you. You don't have to say it back." She shakes her head no and trails kisses down my neck. Then she trails them back up to my ear and nibbles on my ear. I groan and she smiles.

"I love you too daddy." She quickly gets up and runs out. This girl knows what she does to me. "That girl gon be my wife." I smile and finish looking at these files.

(Reina)

Everyone is now in the living room and everyone is quiet. Curtis didn't want to come but I forced him to make amends with Matthew. So far, it's going good. They are joking around with each other. "Babe?" Matthew gets me out of my train of thought. "My bad. Did you say something?" He chuckles and smiles. "It's okay I was just asking if you wanted to go chill with the girls upstairs? They are waiting for you." I smile and nod before kissing his cheek and getting up.

(Matthew)

I watch her leave the room and the guys stop their fake conversations. Curtis was the first one to speak. "So where is this asshole that put his hands on my cousin?" I sigh and hand him the file I was looking at before. "He owns so many different places. He obviously brings his victims to his house and hurts them there."

James sighs as he looks at the list of locations. That was until he lands on one. "No......." We all look at him with confusion. Jayden finally speaks up. "What you find?" James points to the garage location. "I heard about something that went down there. Apparently an anonymous person called the person called the police claiming there was a woman who was dead there. They heard something in the background before the person hung up."

He pulls out his phone while the rest of us looked concerned. Jayden scratches his head. "So he takes his victims to the garage and kills them there? How does he get away with that without getting caught?" I answer next. "The garage is located in an open field that he owns. It's far away from any other place." Curtis sighs .

"Good thing she got out of there but now he's looking for her. Who knows what he will do to her once he gets her." I ball my fists up. "I won't let it get to that far. We just have to find his ass first before he finds her." The doorbell rings and we all look confused. James looks over at me. "Did you invite anyone else over?" I shake my head no and tell my butler to let them in here and to come into the living room. There stood the abusive asshole Andrew with a smirk on his face.

"Hello gentlemen. Shall I join in on the conversation?" Curtis was about to get up put I hold my hand up for him to sit down and calm down. I grab a chair and place it next to me and James. "Sit." He sits down and smiles at the file. "I'm so excited to see that I have fans!" James growls and so does Curtis. He sighs and leans back. I decide to speak the fuck up. "What the hell are you here for?"

He laughs and stares into my eyes. "It's very simple actually. And I know it's going to be hard to do. I want Reina." And at that moment, Curtis, James and Jayden all attacked him. I just stood there and watched. This is what I love to see. That was until I heard the girls run downstairs and watch the scene as well. Reina was frozen in place.

"What the hell is going on?!" Keira screams. The guys stop once Andrew was bleeding from his nose and bruises were already forming. They back up and spit on his limp body. Andrew looks up to Reina and smiles. "Hey baby. I've missed you so much. I love you." She did something I didn't even see coming.

She pulls out a gun from behind her and points it at him. He scoffs as everyone else watches. "You're not going to shoot me love." She smiles and shrugs. "Oh but I will sweetie."

*bang*

That's all it took for his dead body to fall back down. One shot to the head. She slightly shakes as she looks at the dead body.

(Reina)

I killed someone. And I feel great. I smile and everyone looks at me like I'm crazy. Matthew walks up to me and grabs the gun out of my grip. He lifts my head up so we are looking at each other. "Babe are you okay?" I nod my head and breathe out. "Yeah I'm great actually. Now I know why people join gangs." We all laugh and Matthew kisses my head as he hugs me.

"God I fucking love you." I smile and hold him tighter.
