“Leave me the hell alone, Prince! I have to find my sister.” She pushed toward the door.
“We are going to find her.”
“No! I’m going to find her.” She was scratching and clawing again. I put her back to my chest and crossed her arms in front of her.
“I got you. Let me handle this.”
“I can’t lose my sister. Prince, let me go!” she screamed, but then she snapped. Through the reflection in the mirror, I saw the tears staining her face. I turned her around and pulled her into my chest. She crumbled, and we both slid down to the floor. I let her cry and wail in my arms as my heart shattered as well. Family was of the utmost importance to me as well, and I would move heaven and earth for mine.I need to call Pria.
“This shit is all my fault. I ruined our lives, Prince. What if he has her? My sister can’ t be-”
“She’s not. You hear me? She’s not. You would be able to feel that. Get up. Look at me.” I pulled her face close to mine. “What does your heart say?”
She took a large gulp and closed her eyes. “I killed somebody.”
My mind turned in a few different directions, but my body didn’t react. I was waiting for her to say something else, but she didn’t. She kept her eyes closed, like she didn’t want to see me.
“That’s vague, baby.”
“Maceo. My ex-boyfriend. He was abusive. He was attacking me one day, and he was trying to rape Nesha while I was passed out. I was in and out, but I made it to the gun, and I killed him. I thought I did.” She paced back and forth.
“What you mean you thought?” I asked, stopping her.
“Everything was moving so fast. When they were shooting, I could’ve sworn I saw him, but he was dead. I know he was. I shot him myself, and we took his money and ran. I couldn’t have.” Her eyes began to leak profusely again.
“You not crazy. If you saw him, you saw him.”
She shook her head, knowing I was right, and this shit just got a little deeper than I thought. “I need to find Nesha.”
“Nothing is more important to me than your protection right now. I can’t have you going out on your own. I need you to trust me with this. I promise I got you.”
“No, Prince this is not your fight. I see what you are doing and I don’t want you to compromise yourself.”
“I’m already compromised because of how I feel for you, but that’s my choice, and I can handle whatever comes our way. I need you to trust that. I need you to trust me. I’ll solve this for us but I can’t have you fighting against me. Just give this shit to me. You don’t have to carry it no more.”
She didn’t say yes. In fact, she didn’t say anything. I leaned back against the door. I wasn’t leaving until I got heranswer. I just had to be prepared for whatever it was. She lifted her head to the ceiling and I saw the liquid pool in her eyes. I resisted my urge to soothe.
“I don’t know how to be what you are asking for. I want to, Prince. I want to more than anything.” I wanted to stay back but my hands moved to the side of her face and brought her eyes to me.
“You don’t have to know. Just say yes. Please just let me have this shit so I can show you the type of man I can be for you. What I can be for us.”
She rubbed her lips together as her eyes fluttered closed. When she opened them I felt a rumbling in my chest.
“Okay. I’ll let you handle this. Just tell me what you want me to do.”
“Kiss me,” I commanded.
“What?”
“Right now. I need you to kiss me.”
She stood on the tips of her toes, and when our lips joined, I felt an explosion. The passion that set between us was undeniable. As I leaned against the frame of the door, her body rested completely on mine, and her hands clutched my shirt. We floated somewhere between space and the real world for minutes until we disconnected. Our foreheads rested on top of each other while we caught our breath.
The sound of her phone made her dive for it frantically as soon as she answered, I understood why.
“Nesha what the hell? Do you know what’s going on? Why the hell would you drop off like that? Chaz? Why would that be an excuse? At least you could have told me!” She was livid. Rightfully so. “It’s selfish! You had me over here readyto beat Chaz's ass, and you really just on one of your get-back missions? In the middle of the shit we are going through? I know I didn’t say anything on the phone. I was going to tell you in the morning. That’s the whole reason I said it was important!”
She looked at me and threw her hands in the air in irritation, and I leaned against the door frame, waiting for her to finish. All I really cared about was that she was found. That means it was another problem that I didn’t have to solve. All I know is that I wanted out of here and to get my woman and I some alone time. Everything would be handled. No way that Hamp wouldn’t go underground after this. He would be found for sure, and whoever the nigga that rose from the dead was he was going back in the dirt soon. My first order of business was us. She gave me the exact thing I had been looking for. As she was finishing her conversation, I zoned out, and I was already on the phone texting Remy, telling him that I needed a few more days than expected. I would make it up. I needed this time with her and I was closing in on the contract with the hotel. We had a meeting to finalize this Friday, so this small window may be our only time to take advantage of it for the next little while. I started pulling plans together for the next few days. She was willing. She surrendered to me and that was what I needed to know we were on the right path.
