"Y'all ready to do this shit?" I asked my right hand shooter, L and Slim as they sat next to me on the bench in the all black minivan we sported. All of us, plus about fifteen of our other shooters were strapped up and ready to go as we approached the one man's crib that had gave us our start and put us on the map. Losing Mitch and this deal was gone be crucial to business, but it was worth it in the end, so I wasn't tripping off the shit. It wouldn't be as easy to find a new connect that moved the way Mitch did, but I knew I could make some kinda shit happen for us.
"Nigga we ready, is you ready?" Lamar threw back over at me as he held his long rifle in his hands. I just gave a shrug of my shoulders and looked out the back window of the van, my mind all over the damn place. Nothing was to be seen, but wooded land leading up to Mitch's house. It was a nice ass place for a kingpin to rest his head at, it was too bad that he invited other niggas to the place where he laid at though, allowing this to happen, bringing death to his front door where his wife and kid was, or shit they once was.
"As ready as I'm gon' get." I responded and he nodded his head. The car soon came to a stop once we'd made it through the steel gates after entering the one special code he had assigned us for whenever we came over to his place. That had been another stupid move on his part but who was I to correct this nigga, turns out it was actually working in our favor so I had no complaints. I was just ready to get in here and get this shit over with, praying to God that Raegan was in the same condition she was when they took her.
"Good cause nigga we hea." Lamar said as he pushed at the back door to the van, opening it and hopped out. He had a big ass black duffel bag in his hands that was hiding the long rifle he had on him. I sported an all black hoodie over my bullet proof vest and had a couple of guns tucked inside of my waistband, as the two of us approached the porch. All of the rest of the shooters including Slim stayed put in the van until we made our way inside, that's IF we're able to even make it inside of the house without commotion.
We headed up on the porch and I stood in view while I rang the doorbell and waited for someone to answer it. My hand rested on the gun on my waist as I heard all of the locks turn on the door and soon a female came into view. I figured she was the second wife or some shit he had told us about back at the restaurant. I gave Lamar a sly look and cut straight to the chase, trying not to give the whole shit away by saying the wrong thing to her. I needed her to stay calm.
"Hola. ¿Puedo ayudarle con algo señor? Hello. May I help you with something sir?" The Latino woman asked as she stood in the doorway with her silk robe tied tight around her waist. Leave it Lamar to be peeking all over me to get a look at her body, this nigga was always gon be a nigga even in a serious situation like the one we found ourself in right now.
"Hola señora. ¿Está Mitch en casa? Hello ma'am. Is Mitch home?" I questioned her as she stood there in the doorway looking rather confused as to why I was standing on her doorstep out of the blue like this right about now. Had he just agreed to give her back from the beginning I wouldn't have brought this shit to his front door, but he brought it all on himself and them.
"No señor. Él no está en casa. ¿Puedo recibir un mensaje? No sir. He-he isn't home. Can I take a message?" She asked me rather nervously.
"¿Puedo entrar, es un asunto serio? May I come inside, it's a serious matter?" I told her, trying to be as civil with her as I possibly could in this situation.
"Lo siento, no puedo-. I'm sorry, I can't-" she started to say but before she could even finish bullets riddled her small frame and screams erupted from her body. I gave Lamar a look of confusion and that had all it took for a bunch of shots to be fired at us. I pulled out one of my many guns to rush into the house with Lamar right behind me. It was like we were running into war as we killed many of the workers that were gunning for our head. By then, all of our shooters had rushed into the gunfire firing back aimlessly too.
"Y'all handle this, I'm gone go look for Raegan." I told them and watched for their nod. From then I ran up the stairs with gun in hand as I looked around for anything that looked to be suspicious. I made sure to keep cover of my own back as I ran with the guns in hand down a long hall as I stepped off the staircase. I kicked in every door on the hall, seeing nothing but woman having sex with other men. I didn't even bother to kill them, it was pointless as I headed to the next room until I can't to a locked door at the very end of the hall. I kicked it open and low and behold there was Mitch sitting there in a rocking chair with little Raegan held secure on his lap.
"I've been expecting you," Mitch said as Raegan started to cry on his lap. I was frozen in my spot, not knowing how to move after this. Just to see her alive made all of my spirits soar through the roof, but the gun pointed to her head made me nervous all over again because how I knew the man holding it wasn't one to bullshit around with those guns.
"Mitch, this ain't even necessary." I told him trying to remain calm as Raegan's cried knocked some of my focus away from the situation and how it was to go.
"It was necessary for you to try and kill me though G?" He asked and then chuckled and shook his head. "Let's not even talk about necessary. Next time make sure the aim is accurate of your gun. If you're going to try and kill me G, make sure you do it next time Montana or it might just cost you, your life perhaps." He smiled. I sighed as I fingered the trigger of the gun in my hand and sighed once again.
"Had you done what I asked, none of this shit would've been necessary, but you got your head so stuck up yo own ass to just come to an agreement with me." I told him and he nodded.
"You're damn right, I do. Now I'd watch those words if I were you or the girl's brains will decorate the fucking walls in here." He said as he smiled and ran the gun all along her cheek as she cried and called my name, only setting me back another step as I watched her cry in his arms. I wanted and just kill this nigga and be done, but I didn't need him pulling the trigger and killing her before I could kill him.
"What do you want Mitch?"
"I want you dead, her dead, her father dead, and every motherfucker that ever stepped foot into my house and killed my second wife on our doorstep." He said to me and before him or I could even move a single muscle, a shot was sent through the glass balcony door, shattering it and entering a bullet right through Mitch's skull. We all watched as his brain scattered everywhere, even on Raegan's body. She cried and quickly jumped down from his lap and ran over to me, her arms going around my neck.
"I want my mommy!" She cried against my chest as she held onto my neck tightly. I held her back as I nodded my head while standing up from the ground with her in my arms. I swear it was like a weight had been lifted off of me as I held this little girl in my arms. It was one step forward in all of this shit.
"I'm taking you to her now." I said as I watched Lamar come in through the balcony doors with a smirk on his face. I gave him a one hand salute as the both of us had just headed down the stairs of the house and out of the front doors. Boy did it feel good to finally be moving in positive direction, forward never felt better right about now and I couldn't wait to see the smile on Kamille's face when I came back with Rae.

After getting that special call from Gionni telling me to come outside, my heart soared through my chest. I now stood out on the porch with my heart beating rapidly as I watched the same van pull up and come to a stop. My nerves had gotten shaky as I watched and waited. First I saw him step out and walk around the van and into the view of myself and Lauren who stood behind me. Once I spotted my daughter inside of his arms, the flood gates broke and I ran full fledge towards them both and damn near tackled him over in order to get to my baby girl.
"Oh my God! My baby." I cried as I kissed her forehead and cradled her body as close to mine as I could. Tears had already begun to fall as I held her in my arms for a first time in over a day and it filled me up with joy. I could finally breath again knowing my baby was finally back in my care and she was alright. My heart swelled with joy as I held onto the love of my life, never wanting to let go of her ever again. I swear this time around I'd go with my gut feeling about who I allowed to be in her life. Raegan was sincerely my everything in one and without this little girl life just wasn't worth it to live.
"Thank you so much G, thank you." I said with tears in my eyes as I looked at him. He only nodded his head at me as he stood back and watched the two of us. He let the van go and it was soon just the three of us standing out here in the January air crying like no tomorrow, or maybe it was just me. I was so overwhelmed as I stood with my baby in my arms and I sighed dramatically. "I can't thank you enough." I said again as I looked at him with loving eyes. This man had saved my life, literally. I owed it all to him and the big man above for this.
"Stop thankin' me Kam. That's smile on ya' face is just enough for me, aight?" He said and I nodded as I gave him another smile and kissed my daughter's cheek for the second time. I smiled and wiped away my tears as we continued to stand there like it wasn't chilly out. I held my head back and watched as Raegan lifted her own head with teary eyes that I soon wiped away.
"I love you baby girl," I said and kissed her cheek with one of the biggest smiles I could give. I was genuinely happy right now, I had my daughter back and it had to be one of the most priceless feelings to ever feel.
"I wuv you too mommy." She said and then wrapped her arms back around my neck securely. I rubbed her back as I looked over at the man that had given me my reason to live back and I couldn't help but to smile. He gave me that cocky grin back and then threw one of his arms over my shoulder, pulling me into his body. All I'd been able to do was smile and continue to look high at the sky and just thank God for blessing me like he has.
"We need to get her checked out Kam. She looks fine, but we need to be sure of it. Mitch not one of the nicest niggas out here, I couldn't put anything past him Kam." G commented and I knew he was absolutely right. We didn't know exactly what all had happened while Rae was there, so it was always best to make sure that she was okay. I cringed at the sound of going to a hospital though, I hated that place with a passion every since it was Lauren who laid in that hospital bed not too long. I couldn't take it anymore.
"I can't take a hospital right now G, can we just do all of that tomorrow?" I asked him, but he shook his head at my question and sighed softly.
"Nah, the quicker the better. I ain't a big fan of goin' to no hospitals either, I just need to make sure she's aight. Just come on, I know a place." he said as he motioned for me to come. After getting my keys from the house, we all got inside of my car and he drove us away from the house and onto the road. I had no idea where we were headed, but at this point I didn't even care. I was just happy to have Rae in my arms, it felt damn good. I just prayed to God now that it was nothing bad that she had gone gone through while she was there. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.
I cleared all thoughts from my head as I held onto my baby as we sat in the passenger seat of my BMW. I had no idea where Gionni was taking us, but I was soon to find out when we pulled up to a house and came to a stop along the street. I was confused, it was a nice big house, but I wondered who's it was. Nonetheless, I did not ask any questions what so ever as he helped me out of the car and led us up to he front door of the house.
I waited until he used a key from his pocket to unlock the front door, gaining curiosity within me but I didn't speak on it as he led me inside and closed the door. He grabbed a hold on my hand and gently tugged my hand in a direction that I was unaware of. Once we stopped at a bedroom, he opened the door and let go as we all headed inside of room. By then, I just finally had to ask because I was very confused.
"Gionni, where are we?" I questioned.
"Stay here, I'll be right back." He said as he stood over me. He kissed my forehead before disappearing out of the door, making sure to close it behind himself. I gave off a dramatic sigh and sat Raegan down on the bed. I sat her up and took note of her dirty clothes, I'd have to hurry and get her out of these things and clean again. It had been over a day and she was still in the same stuff from when she was taken.
"I love you Raegan," I whispered to her as I rubbed on her cheek and smiled. She gave me a weak smile of her own and then looked around the room.
"Mommy, I wanna go home." She whined.
"We're gonna go home pretty soon baby. Mommy just has to get you checked out to make sure you're okay. I don't want anything to happen to you, so we have too. I promise to take you home when we're done, okay?" I asked her and she smiled and nodded her head at me. I got up from my squatting position on the floor and got a hold of her into my arms. While it was just the two of us, I held my daughter in my arms and rocked her in a soothing manner.
"Thank you God for sparing my baby." I whispered into the air as I smiled and squeezed her tightly. My life was finally able to go forward again, thank God!

"Ma, I need your help. If you can't help me none other time, I just need you to help me now. My girlfriend has a daughter, you know the girl I've told you about. Well, her daughter was kidnapped and we just got her back, I just need you to check over her to make sure she good. That's all I need," I asked her in a pleading tone. I knew she wouldn't say anything, but hopefully she would do it just because I'd asked her too. It didn't always work that way though, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.
I sat there on bended knee as she finally looked over at me and just stared. I didn't know what was going on in her mind at this time, but she just gave me one of those long and hard looks like she was in deep thought. I just couldn't tell what she was thinking, but something was going on in her head. I sighed as I continued to look at her, hoping she'd just do it for me. My mother was the closest thing I had to a doctor. When she was younger it was her passion and one of her boyfriends had paid for her schooling, but she got caught up in his life and she ended up eventually not going back.
"Please," I pleaded with her for the second time. My mom got up from her seat and slowly but surely made her way out of the room. I held my head down and just sighed at her, once again turning her back to me. This all was beginning to take a toll on me. I don't know if I could take this shit too much longer without just going on my own. I tried my best, busted my ass to make life easier for her and she couldn't even do one simple ass thing I asked her to do. I just shook my head and went back to the bedroom where Kamille and Raegan was.
Low and behold, when I stepped into the room there she was with Raegan laid back on the bed checking her like I'd asked. My eyebrows rose in confusion as I sat at the door and watched as she felt all over Raegan's little body to make sure nothing was broke and everything is how it's suppose to be. For the next fifteen minutes she did so and gave us both a thumbs up when she finished and headed out of the room, brushing past me. I sighed and came closer to sit next to her on the bed.
"She still won't-?" Kamille started to say, but I already knew what she was going to ask and I answered it with a simple shake of the head before she even finished. "I I'm sorry Gionni, I wish it didn't have to be this way. I could talk to her-.." she started again, but just like the last time I stopped her before she finished.
"Nah, I want to do this on my own. Listen, I'll be back. I'm going to go and let her know we're leaving. Yall can go to the car if you want." I told her and handed her the keys as I went out of the room again. I headed down all the stairs and for the back porch where I found her off a bit under a tree, sitting on one of the benches. I took a seat next to her and just didn't bother to say anything. The both of us just sat there in silence, no words in the air as it normally wasn't. I was content with, well I was not actually, but I had no other choice but to be.
"Gionni," I heard someone say as I stared straight. The voice had sounded like one in my head and I didn't bother to respond to it as I continued to sit there and not say anything. "Gionni Amir Montana, I know you hear me boy." I heard again and this time I looked to the side of me at my mother who was staring back. I frowned up my face in confusion and spoke. Hearing her not say shit had been what I was used too so for her to say something had me thinking I was trippingz
"You talking to me?" I asked the dumbest shit ever.
"Who else? It's just me and you." She said as her eyes stayed trained on the ground while playing with the hems of her dress, not giving eye contact with me.
"I'm just surprised ma. I haven't heard your voice in years, forgot what it even sounded like." I said honestly and it did. She sounded so young, even though she was so old. I closed my eyes and blinked a couple times to make sure that my eyes and ears weren't deceiving me.
"Yeah, I know. I haven't heard my own voice in so long, it nearly hurts to even speak. I don't even know why I got the urge to talk now, but I just do." She said to me and I nodded my head. I was still trying to bring myself up to par with what was going on right now. Was I here having a conversation with my mother? Was I not the only one talking this time? I swear I had to question my damn self in order to know that this was serious.
"What you mean? Why not talk?" I asked her honestly.
"I don't know son, I had nothing to say so why talk?"
I shrugged my shoulders and sighed. "Maybe. I got one question, just one for you and that's all." I told her.
"Gionni, I .. I," she started, but I cut her off before she'd even got her sentence out of her mouth. I just wanted to know why, that's it. I think I at least deserved just a bit of damn honesty after all these long years, no matter what it was. I hadn't talked to her in years, I deserved to hear an explanation or something from it.
"No ma, I just want you to answer just that one." I said and when she doesn't say anything or protest, I just go ahead with my question. "Do you hate me that much to the point where you couldn't even talk to me for all of these years? I can't even remember the last time I heard you speak to me, but I just want to know why ma?"
"Son, I don't hate you. I never ever hated you, you are my son, it's only natural that I love you and I swear I do with all of my heart Gionni Amir. It's just that after they took your sister away, I felt like my world was over then baby. It felt like apart of me was dead and I couldn't go on anymore. I know I still had you here to live for, but you were all grown up and doing your own thing, she was my baby. I had her here with me to look after and in the blink of an eye she was all gone. I just stopped talking after that, to you and to everybody. I .. I just had nothing to say, well I just couldn't say it. I had so many words I wanted to say, but they never came out. It was almost like my mouth was taped shut and I just could not say anything even if I wanted too," she said and I just listened to every word until she was done. It wasn't a damn good excuse to me, but I guess I'd never get it.
"So many times I wanted to tell you that I loved you and that I didn't blame you for all of this, I just couldn't voice it to you baby. I even started a jar of notes, full of everything that I wanted to tell you. I just never got the courage to give it to you because I was too ashamed of myself after all this time. I'm so sorry, I know I should have been there for you because you loved your sister just as much as I did and you were hurting too, so I'm sorry. I abandoned you like you weren't even my first born and I'm sorry for it Gionni. I know I haven't been much of a mother to you for a very long time now, but I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me for all these years of this. I understand it if you don't, you should be the one to hate me after how I did you for so long. I'm so sorry baby, I don't know how else to say it." She said and cried next to me. It broke my heart to hear her say all of this, while crying into her hands. Despite all that she had done to me or didn't do, I didn't hate her.
I sighed as I lifted up my mother's chin and wiped every single tear that fell from her eyes with my thumb. I pulled her closer to me to hold her in my arms as she cried on my shoulder hard. I couldn't even feel that it too was coming upon me, but soon I too was crying in the presence of my mother and it felt foreign to me. I'd never cried since I was a kid and this shit had finally hit me. Seeing my mother cry and all of these emotions I'd held inside of me for so long came rushing out as I sat here with her in my arms, finally releasing it all.
"I could never hate you ma, even after all these years there isn't an ounce of hate in my heart towards you. I love you just as I did before, nothing changed. You all I got left of blood, so nah I could never hate you. I knew you was going through your own little thing so I let you do that. I did feel like you hated me for what happen to Gabby because you wouldn't even talk to me. I felt like I didn't have a mother sometimes because it was like I was out here by myself. I forgive you though, we both could have made better decisions, but I forgive you ma. I love you," I told her as she pulled my head into her chest before kissing my forehead while the both of us cried into one another like we should've been done.
"Don't cry baby, momma loves you too. I'm proud of you and I thank you for everything that you've done for me. I'm sorry it took me so long to finally express this to you son. I thank God every single day for you boy and I love you more than you'll ever know. I'm sorry," she whispered to me as she kissed my forehead again and held me wiping all of my tears away. I felt like a whole bitch right now, but that was cool. "Now sit up and tell me about this Kamille girl that has my little boy so love shock." She said and I chuckled and sat up wiping the last of the tears from my eyes.
"How you know her name?" I asked.
"Boy, I remember when you told me this a long time ago. I always would listen to you baby, everything you have ever told me, I always heard you even though I never responded. Believe me when I say I wanted too, I just couldn't then." She said and I nodded. I didn't see that as an excuse, but I wasn't dwelling on it.
"Ma, she's everything. I just, I don't even know how to explain it anymore." I shrugged.
"You love her?"
"Nah. I said too quickly." I was lying, well I think I was. I didn't even know if I loved her or not, I never really thought about whether I did or not. I know I felt some deep shit for her, but I wasn't sure if it was love. After Nia, I couldn't even tell the difference anymore.
"Boy, you don't have to lie to your momma. You can tell me the truth. I understand if you don't want too. Anyway, you love her alright. It's okay, I give you my blessing. She's a beautiful young lady from what I can see, I can tell she makes you happy, her and that little girl of hers." She smiles and I nod my head.
"They both do. You'll love them ma," I say and she nod.
"Well I don't want to keep you away from them both too long. I love you son, we needed this." She said and I nodded my head as I stood up. I did need to get going with them, I knew they were probably waiting on my ass in the car already. I sighed as I stood there with my hands stuffed deep in my pockets and just looked at my beautiful mother and smiled like a little boy. It felt so good to have her back, I almost didn't want to leave.
"I love you momma,"
"I love you too baby boy," she smiled and pulled my head down to kiss my cheek before she let me go." Now gone on now, don't keep the queen waiting." She smiled and I nodded as I turned around and headed to the car. I couldn't lie like today hadn't been a good day for me. I'd made a step out of my past into my present and it felt damn good too. Forward was always good, I was happy to be moving in a positive direction.
Within the next couple of hours, Raegan and I found ourselves on the floor of my living room while Kamille laid knocked out on the sofa. We'd gotten here, Raegan got her a bath, we ordered pizza and watched a movie on Netflix. Now here we were, bored out of our minds with nothing else to do with life. I sighed as I sat down on the floor next to Raegan and looked over at her.
"I'm bored Mr.G," she commented as she threw me a single glance with a pouty expression on her face.
"You can call me G."
"I'm bored G."
"Well, what you wanna do Raegan?" I asked.
"You can call me Rae." She smiled and I chuckled at how she had played that and nodded my head. I swear these new generations get smarter and smarter at all of these young ass ages. If I knew back then what all these kids knew now, I'd be the CEO of somebody company.
"What you wanna do then Rae?"
"Can I do your nails again?" She asked cheerfully at the sound of that my body shivered. I was not trying to go back down that road again, hell nah. I'd done it once, but the shit was never happening again in this life.
"Nah, not this time shorty. Nail polish is not my thing. How bout we do something I wanna do this time." I said to her and she frowned then folded her arms.
"Well, what do you wanna do?" She ask me curiously as she propped her face up on her hands and looked at me with one of those beautiful toothy grins like Kamille always gave me. I smiled and looked away, shrugging.
"Ion know. You know how to play 2K?" I asked her and she smacked her lips and gave me a funny look before she started to laugh at my question like it was the most crazy thing in the world that I'd asked, shit I was dead ass. She painted my nails, it was the least she could do.
"Girls don't play 2K, girls dance." Raegan said with a burst of excitement soaring from her body as she did a little twirl for me like she was a ballerina. I smiled and nodded my head with a slight laugh, she was right, but still. It wouldn't hurt to try it out.
"Yeah, I know, but if you do somethin' I wanna do then I'll do somethin' you wanna do. Deal?" I asked holding out my hand for her to shake on it, to seal the deal.
"Fine, deal, but we have to do whateveeerrrrrrr I wanna do G." She said with one of those devilish smirks. I was kinda scared of what I was agreeing too, but I shook on it anyway, sealing the deal. She smiled as she watched me hook up my Xbox one to the television in the living room and getting the controllers together. I gave her the second one and I got the first as I set the game up for us to play. I was about to slaughter the fuck out of this girl right now, it was bound to be a straight win.
"Are you gonna come to my wecital?" She asked as I got everything together as we sat in silence. I looked at her and shrugged my shoulders before asking.
"You want me too?"
"Yes silly!" She chuckled.
"Well then, I'm there." I smiled.
"You pwomise? My daddy said he'd come last time and he didn't show up. All of the other giwls had daddy's, but I only had mommy, uncwe KJ, grammy and papa, and TT Wauwen." She said and I sighed while running a hand over my face. It made me feel sorry of how her dad was such a fuck up and it really affected her, but it was only right that I went and played my part.
"I promise, okay?"
"Pinky swear?" She smiled holding out her miniature pinky compared to mine. Even though the size different I still found myself locking pinkies with her. When stuff like this happened, it made me think of having a kid of my own. I never really thought of having kids honestly, I was saving that thought until I hit my thirties and was out of the game but it seemed like a nice life. I just did not see how niggas could spill they seed and not put in the effort to take care of they kids. I guess all niggas just weren't built the same way, it was obvious.
In the mean time, Raegan and I sat on the floor playing 2K for less than half an hour. Within that short time, I'd managed to score like 80 points to zip. I was dunking on her ass like no tomorrow, while she let me get these steals and shit and she didn't even know it. After while I felt bad for going so hard on the girl, but shit after I'd let her paint my nails it was only right. Once I saw that she'd become uninterested and put the remote down, I paused the game and looked at her sideways.
"Wait wait, you quitting already?" I asked her in utter amusement as I looked at her face.
"This game is no fun. Can we do what I wanna do now? Pwease." She said and I sighed and nodded my head. It was her turn to choose and she decided she wanted to draw and shit. Luckily she'd left some crayons and stuff over here, so I already had the supplies. I laid them all out on my marble top kitchen counter and helped her up onto the stool so that she could draw. We did that as we sat there talking about random shit. I never knew it, but four year olds could hold better conversation than most of the females my age. It was crazy.
"G?" She called as her tongue was stuck out of the side of her mouth as she drew on he paper.
"Wassup?"
"My mommy says that when you help someone and care for them, that means you wuv them. Do you wuv my mommy?" She asked as she stopped and looked at me with the crayon still in hand. I felt like I was hearing shit so I had to ask again for clarity.
"Huh?"
"Do. You. Wuv. My. Mommy?" She laughed.
"Why?" I shot back, avoiding the question.
"Nooo. Mommy says you can't answer a question with a question Mr.G." She smiled. I chuckled and thought about the question for a moment and finally sighed.
"Can you keep a secret?" I asked and her eyes lit up.
"Yes! Yes! I wuv secwets." She say cheerfully.
"In all honesty, I think I do love your mom. I think I've loved her for a while not and it's crazy because it ain't even been that long between us. I ain't never been the type of fall for a girl like this, but here I am with your mom and it's just crazy. I don't know what it is about her, but ..." I said and trailed off as I looked next to me at Raegan. I felt stupid talking to a four year old about my feelings right now, I was tripping hard as hell.
"Yay! You two should get mawwied." She clapped. I shook my head and sighed, this little girl was wild.
"Woah, married?" I laughed.
"Yes, I want to pwan the wedding. It's-it's going to be wime gween and pink and purple and yellow and blue and orange and and black." She said in excitement and I chuckled and shook my head at her before asking.
"Why black?"
"Because you wike black remember."
"Oh yeah. You sure do talk a lot." I told her as I stood up from my chair at the counter and stretched my arms out. She gave me a shrug as she hopped down from her seat and ran back into the room with her mom. Luckily she was awake this time and that caused for Raegan to run over to her and climb up into her lap like a baby.
"Mommy, you're up!" She smiled.
"Yes baby, what were you doing?"
"Talking to G."
"Is that so, what were you guys talking about?" She asked while eyeing me. I smirked and held my hands up in defense as I looked to see if Raegan would rat me out to her mom and tell on me like I expected her too.
"It's a secret." She grinned and my smirk deepened as I watched Kamille try to tickle it out of her while she just laughed and squirmed all over the place. I stood there just watching them interact. I was happy to maker her all happy again because these last few days have been rough on her. I sighed as she kissed Raegan's forehead and she went running off to some other part in here. I didn't complain one bit as it gave me an opportunity to have some alone time with my lady. I tried to keep my hands to myself around Raegan, but I had to get mine.
"You beautiful, you know that ma?" I asked as I sat next to her and pulled her small frame onto my lap. Her arm wrapped around my neck as she pulled my face closer to hers and smiled down at me. Her lips met mine in a quick peck and she pulled away before speaking.
"Thanks baby. Thanks for the compliment and for everything else that you've ever done for me. I swear I owe you my whole life. I don't know how else to even thank you anymore. You've just outdone yourself G. I just want to know how I got so lucky." She said as she bit down on her bottom lip and looked at me. My hand rested on her ass as I rubbed circles into her skin.
"What I do isn't to be thanked, it's because I want too. The smile on your face means more to me than a lot of shit and I'll do whatever I can to keep it that way ma. It is one way that I know of that would serve as a perfect thank you though," I smirked as my lips found her neck and she pulled away from me again with that smile.
"Oh really?" She asked as she bit down on her lip, only making things so much harder than they were already.
"Yeah, I still owe you for your birthday too. Don't think I forgot about you." I told her and she smirked again as I held onto her waist tighter. Her lips met mine again. I flipped her over onto her back, her legs still on each of my sides as I kissed all over her neck and held a grip of her ass in the palms of my hands. It had been a minute since I'd let out my frustration and it was well needed for the both of us. I was just about ready to go all the way, but duties always have to call at the wrong time.
"Mommy! Mr.G! Wook!" Raegan called in an excited tone and it made me halt in my movements and sigh. I blew out a breath of air from my mouth onto her skin and proceeded to kiss on her neck one last time before she eventually chuckled and pushed my face away.
"Yup, might as well get used to this and at this point I'm thankful to hear that and have the opportunity to even go to see what she wants. Let's go Mr. I'll make sure I take care of him later." She winked at me as she kissed me one last time before she pushed me away. I sighed and sat up on the couch, watching her as she made her way out of the living room with an extra sway to her. I could only watch and wait. Like she'd said, I was just happy to even be able to hear Raegan calling. I put my sexual frustration to the side and headed behind her. We were moving forward and I couldn't be happier.
