Down For You

DANTE
"Do whatever it takes to protect who you love"

I walked into Starbucks Cafe and sat in one of the booths. I don't really fuck with this place because all them crackhead white girls be all up in this bitch all the time. The only reason I'm here is to meet with this lawyer that tryna get Kayne out of jail. I can't let Kayne out of jail yet, shit ain't safe out here for her.

I watched the lawyer come in and she sat down across from me in my booth. I needed to set shit straight with her and she seemed like a bitch who wouldn't back down so I really gotta put in work.

"Listen I know you're the punk ass nigga that got Kayne in jail and I don't know why you tryna meet me. I have nothing to say to you" she said giving me the look.

"First of all I'm not no punk ass nigga. Get that shit straight. Second of all I have my reasons on why I put Kayne in jail and I heard you tryna get her out. Listen I need you to drop the whole case that's why I called you." I snapped back

"And what reason is that?" She asked amused

"That's none of your business. Just know that I want you to keep her in that bitch" I said getting up and throwing three stacks on the table before leaving.

I can't have nobody trying to get Kayne out of jail. I'll pay them anything they want just for my baby's safety. Kayne knows that and I hope she don't resent me for putting her in jail. I know she's probably confused on everything and she probably hates me but everything will be easier to explain when our enemy is dead.

FLASHBACK

Kayne picked the lock on the door of the mansion and she opened the door slowly. She scoped everything out before giving me the signal that it's clear. Kayne went to go look for a safe as I crept upstairs towards his daughters bedroom. This nigga killed my moms and dad and I had to get revenge on him. My mom was everything to me and her dying broke the shit out of me. That was probably the first time I've ever cried since my diaper days.

His daughter was sleeping peacefully in her bed and luckily so was his wife. I put my silencer on and shot both of them, coldheartedly. I knew I was starting a war that would probably go on forever but I didn't care. I'd fight this battle any day for my moms and pops. I closed the door and walked back downstairs to see Kayne zipping up the black duffel bag that seemed stuffed with money.

"That's all?" I asked her.

"I took all of it, yes" she said. She looked like she had something on her mind.

"Come on. We gotta go before he comes home" I said grabbing her free hand and walking outside to our black SUV.

"You killed his wife and kid Dante. This is wrong. So wrong." She said shaking her head.

"Kayne have you forgotten that he killed my moms and pops. Shut the fuck up, man." I said annoyed. "Who's side are you on?"

"You know I ride for you Tae. But I don't know about this. I feel you started some shit we can't handle" she said putting her head back.

"I got you baby. I won't let nothin happen to you alright?" I said rubbing her thigh.

She looked at me for a little before smiling. I smiled back and kissed her quickly before going back to driving. I'll do anything to protect my queen.

**

My phone buzzed and I saw it was a text from Kalin, Kayne's brother.

Don't get shit twisted, I hate you. But I need you to go tell Kayne that our moms died. Her seeing me like this'll make it worse and this ain't no over the phone convo.

He knows damn well Kayne will not want to talk to me. She's gonna kill my ass in that visitation room. This shit gonna be hard on her though, she loved her mom with all her heart.

I sighed and u-turned so that I was in the direction of the jail Kayne was in. I'm gonna do this anyways. I know how torn she'll be if she finds out later than today. I arrived at the visitation room 30 minutes later and sat down at the table.

5 minutes later she came in the room and when she saw me sitting there she tried to leave but the guard whispered some shit in her ear that made her turn back around. She came and sat across from me but not before I noticed here baby bump.

"You're pregnant?" I asked dumbly.

"Obviously nigga I'm pregnant. Why're you asking that dumb ass question when you know the answer" she snapped.

"Someone in here raped you?" I asked again.

"Dante get the fuck out my face" She decked me super hard in my face and I stared at her in shock.

"I deserve that" I mumbled as I looked at the guards who acted like they ain't see nothin. "But chill out, for real."

"Don't tell me what the fuck to do nigga. You're not my fuckin dad. Why the fuck you here anyways" she rolled her eyes.

"All those times you called me daddy while I was hitting that shit. Shut the fuck up" I said chuckling slightly.

I could tell she was trying to hold back a laugh. She was a stubborn ass girl but still my stubborn ass girl

"Come here" I said scooting my chair back to give her access to my lap.

"Nigga who the fuck you think I am. I'm not just gonna hop in your lap after you did some foul shit to me."

I grabbed her out of her chair and sat her on my lap but of course she got out of my grip. She sat back down in her seat before resting her elbows on the steel table.

"What do you want Dante" she asked impatiently

"Listen I don't want to put stress on you in here with the baby but Kalin wanted me to tell you this. I need you to be strong for me alright."

"Okay... What?" She asked getting annoyed. I knew she wasn't ready for this and I knew it would hurt her so bad. But she had to know.

"You're mom died" I mumbled. Her eyes quickly began to tear before she looked down.

"Kayne I-" She quickly stood up and left the room.

I could tell it really shook her.. She was strong and brave so usually she would rock it out but this time I don't think so.
