The Plot

Caught Up

"That sounds like you'll be the reason i'm late"

"I gotta go bae or imma really be late" I whined

"Alright baby. Call me when you get out of class"

I was the first one out the door today. Zavi left early so there was no point of lingering around. I had a couple of appointments today that I really enjoyed. I was definitely going to add facials to my list of services.

I held the phone up to my ear as I waited for my man to pick up. We agreed to some plans before hanging up. I put my playlist on shuffle before hanging up. Even though it was the end of the day, I felt my much better. I actually missed Justin. I couldnt wait to be wrapped up in his arms. I was in deep thought as I drove down the highway. The 45 minute drive felt like a quick trip.

"Hi doll. You're late I was expecting you this morning" Cindy stepped from the back with a smile on her face.

"Hi Cindy! I know" I looked over at Justin as I lightly chucked "I was running late this morning. Im sorry"

"No problem. Since little girl, you always show up when you want" She laughed her hands together as we shared a laugh. "I'll be back"

I dug through my purse with no luck. I was supposed to give her the return ticker but there wasn't a ticket in sight.

"You gotta get it together baby" Justin smiled slyly as he held up the brown return ticket

"Boy when did you get that" My eyebrows knitted together as I looked at him.

He carried our clothes to my car, laying them on my backseat. We shared a kiss before departing to our cars. He followed behind me to my house. I left on him on the bed as I got ready to go out with him. My stomach was in knots. I had no idea why I just felt different. I hovered over the toilet as I gagged.

I sat on the toilet for a few before getting up. I blew out a shaky breath before stepping into the shower. Lord whatever Im not seeing please reveal it to me. I don't know why i'm feeling like this but Im trusting you will guide me to the answers. Thank you. Amen

"Justin baby wake up" I stood in front of the bed watching him sleep. His eyes popped open immediately. He was such a light sleeper.

"Damn bae. I didnt even know I fell asleep. You look mad good though" One of his eyes was squinted as he looked up at me. I bent over placing a kiss on his lips. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me down on him.

"Thank you baby. We gotta go, i'm mad hungry"

I pulled out some pots as the dryer went off. I looked around and smiled. All my hard work will pay off I thought. I was finally inside of the famous Valentino family house. The house we lived in in jersey was a pebble compared to this I was finally living the life I was born to live. The perfect house, the perfect family, rich as hell. To think she took all of that from me. In the end it looks like I got the last laugh.

I took the clothes out and began to fold them one by one as I listened to the slow jam station on the radio. I put the folded clothes on the bed and returned to my previous spot at the kitchen island. Opening the macbook I went straight wellsfargo's website to transfer money into my off shore account.

"Hm, a good fifty thousand. He shouldn't notice" I said to no one particular. After transferring the money I logged out the accounts and cleared the history. I took out some things to make dinner with.

I put the lid back on the pot as I tasted the food. I cut the stove off and went upstairs to the master bedroom. I looked in the mirror and smiled brightly. Being in this house was a confirmation to myself I am who I thought I was.
