Her Beef 7: Better Days

Chapter Twenty-One

Desire

"Sasha!" I yelled pushing Aubrey off me running to the door. When I got outside Sasha was laying there in a puddle of her own blood gasping for air. I sat there holding her begging her to fight for her life. I know that Sasha and I have had our ups and downs, but I never want anything to happen to her and I don't want her to die on me.

"Aubrey! Call 911 please!" I yelled at him. He called 911 as tried to get Sasha to stay with me. I can't call Shakeya's parents and tell them that Sasha died on my front steps. I can't even tell Key that. Carlos was upstairs making sure his children were okay. I was crying and praying and asking God to spare Sasha's life.

"Des make sure the babies are safe. Make sure my sister makes it back home to her kids. Tell my parents that I love them and I am sorry for any pain that I have caused them." Sasha said in between breathes.

"No you better hold on don't say goodbye. Its not your time to go Sasha cause we just got in a good space and I need you here." I told her trying to fight back my tears. The paramedics pulled up and instantly went to work on Sasha. They had got her stable enough to move her. As the y pulled off rushing Sasha to the hospital Detective Newman and some other officers arrived on the scene.

"Are you okay? What the hell happened here?" Detective Newman asked. I guess he was a little to comforting for Aubrey because he cleared his throat which made Aaron back up. He looked at me in the way that I haven't seen a man look at me since that night in Costa Rica with August. This man was looking at me the way a man looks at a woman he is in love with.

"We were about to have a family dinner. Sasha said she needed to get something out of her truck when we heard gun fire. When it stopped I came out here to find Sasha on the ground and my husband instantly dialed 911. I don't know who would do this or who even knew where I lived. I literally just moved into this house." I said wiping away my tears.

"Do you think this has anything with Santino being back in the states? I know he has a vendetta against Shakeya. I actually told her when you were in the hospital that he was spotted on US soil." Detective Newman said. Now I know how she found out he was here.

"Wait that muthafucka Santino is around?" Desire did you know about this?" Carlos asked me. I didn't know what to say or what to do. I couldn't betray Sasha's trust by saying anything and I wasn't going to incriminate Shakeya by saying she was after him.

"I don't even know who the hell this man is! All I know is that my best friend in the whole world my sister her sister has just been rushed to the hospital. My babies are upstairs including my niece's and nephew's I could care less about a fucking Santino." I said.

I might have been laying it on kind of thick but I was telling the truth. I really didn't know shit about this man or who he was but I did know that my family was hurt and no matter what we take care of family.

I watched Aubrey get on the phone and get his people on the move and that's when it hit me hard. Everything that me and this man has been through from me fighting bitches, killing people, being shot multiple times and kidnapped this man is always ready to ride for me and my family. That was one of the things I really loved about him.

Was I really ready to walk away from this marriage? Was I really over Aubrey?
