Redemption: Chapter 26

~Varo P.O.V.~

I showed up at the trap and headed inside. I looked around and didn't see either Ginot or Sweet Cheeks at first so I began to look around. I stopped when I heard the sound of a box drop on the ground and followed the sound.

I came to a room and saw Sweets sitting on the ground with her back to the door as she continued to fill the box. I quietly walked up behind her and grabbed her left hand, sliding the ring back on her finger and then wrapping my arms around her.

"You dropped somethin'." I said into her ear just before kissing her cheek. "I went too far, I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I take back saying 'Fuck you', I didn't mean it."

"I love how you always keep in mind that I'm a visual person, I really do." This wasn't a case of Sweets taking a situation too far or being a drama queen. She was showing me I went too far instead of just telling me. Hence why I love she understands that I need to see things, not just hear it.

"Always remember I'm your fiancé, not just another fellow gang member." She turned around and wrapped her around my neck. "We're all going through this, it's not just you. All I was trying to say was, you shouldn't be talking like you're already accepting defeat."

"I'm sorry, it's just it kills me to see this shit happening to IRG. Been through hell to get this gang here and now it's like everything is crumbling, I need to work on my anger, I can't lash out at you." I need to really stop lashing out at her... I don't mean to lash out at her but it's just in the heat of the moment- Nah no excuses. It's my fault and I'm gonna fix it.

"It'll be okay Varo. Just remember I'm never going to leave you, I don't care how many times I toss the ring at you or if I say I'm never coming back, I'll come back." She said with a small laugh. "But come help pack up this stuff."

"I love you Sweets." I gave her a big sloppy kiss and laughed when she returned the favor with a mean mug. "You love my sloppy kisses, stop frontin'." I pinched the top of her cheek before letting her go to grab another box off the table in the room.

"No I don't because they're sloppy." Her laughter bubblng through her voice. I just nodded my head as if actually agreeing with her. "Nigga I mean it."

"Female, you love it. Hush up or I'ma make you hush up." She cocked a brow at me with that 'nigga I'd like to see you follow through with that empty ass threat' look. "Fix that face too."

"You're on thin ice." Again her laughter making her all the more adorable opposed to threatening.

"I'm about to be in the sheets waiting for you." Nice save on my end if I do say so myself. "We could make a box house right now if we wanted to. These boxes are big enough." I said staring at the boxes.

"Can we?"

"We might as well since we got all these boxes here." I said with a shrug. "I'ma work on our room, you wanna start the front door?" She nodded her head and got up to grab another box. I needed to take my mind off of this gang bullshit for just at least an hour... then go back to being pissed the fuck off when we get back to Oakland.

"Make it big Varo, I like space."

"I already know." She snuck over to my side and gave me a kiss before retreating back over to her side. "Oh you think you're cute huh?"

"I'm adorable."

"Okay that is true but I'ma get you back for sneaking onto my side." I said with a laugh. "Best believe it too."
