"Awe baby you didn't have to do that." She said.
"I know----but I wanted to." He smirked stepping closer to her. Kiara couldn’t help but to bite her lip. She leaned closer to him and kissed his tattoo, kissing her way up to his lips.
"You don't know what I want to do to you." He whispered against her ear. The next thing Kiara knew she was being hoisted into the air and placed upon the counter with her panties being ferociously ripped off.
"Don't tell me---just show ME!" Her words were cut off when Dominic slammed hard into her; replacing words with mere faint moans.
CHAPTER 32 (Kiara)
Groaning, Kiara rolled over from her well-endowed slumber after Dominic had blew her back out literally hours ago. His muscular tattoo clad arm hung tightly and protectively around her waist. Her phone continued to ring as she lazily reached for it allowing her eyes to become fixed on its illuminating words; which read Asia.
"Hello."
"KIARA. ----I don't know what happened----and he's in critical condition. The doctors said he might not make it!" Asia yelled.
"What? Calm down and stop crying. What happened?" Dominic kissed Kiara's bare shoulder and questioned her about who she was on the phone with but she shushed him.
"Jordan! He got into a car accident." Asia said out of breath.
"Oh my god. When?"
"Earlier today and they’re still operating on him. I've been calling you but didn’t get an answer." She cried between every word. "I'm here with his family and----I can't even go on any more about this."
Kiara immediately began to feel guilty seeing as how she was having sex with Dominic while Jordan in damned near on his death bed.
"I'm on my way. “She jumped out of bed and began to throw on any garment that she found on the floor.
The last conversation she had with Jordan was when she told him she hated him and she didn't want him to leave this world without her apologizing and letting him know that she forgave him for everything he ever did to her.
No she didn't love him anymore but she did have love for him.
****
The baby was fast asleep against Kiara's breast while Dominic sat across from her glaring at her. They'd got into an argument on their way over to the hospital because apparently Dominic was jealous and couldn't figure out why she wanted to go visit her ex-boyfriend in the hospital; better yet he was upset that she was upset and having a nervous breakdown about a nigga that she used to fuck. Yes, he was compassionate about the fact that he was in critical condition but he just didn't want his woman crying over him.
Hopefully he pulled through but the thoughts floating around in his mind was that Jordan might end up being his competition and somewhat steal the best thing that's ever happened to him, from him. He sighed and rubbed his hands over his face. Asia's eyes were bloodshot red and Jordan's mom had already fainted twice. Things were hectic. Even Princess showed up looking a mess with a bloody nose, fucked up hair, tattered clothing, and for some odd reason she had cake all over her. Nobody paid her much attention though.
It was an even bigger surprise once Gino showed up. Despite what everyone thinks, Gino never showed up to the hospital to cause any drama. He and Jordan have been homeboys from way back. He only wanted to pay his respects. He was angry at the sight of Kiara being there with her new boyfriend playing family with his seed. He was also upset about the fact that Princess always seemed to pop up everywhere he was lately. He was still fire hot from when she showed up at his house only a mere few hours ago surprising him by sitting at his damn kitchen table.
He proceeded to sit down until the doctor emerged from the back frantically. He called over Jordan's immediate family. It seemed as if they were whispering. All that could be heard was pure silence and all you could was see the movement of their lips. Once again his mother fainted but this time it was different. They all knew but they didn't want to believe the end results. Dominic had to take the baby away from Kiara, due to the fact that she was crying so hard she could barely even hold him. Her mind was on other things; other people.
A soft pair of hands soothed her back. She looked back and she could have sworn she saw Jordan's spirit. He blew her a kiss and pointed to her heart before slowly walking away. She couldn't believe her own eyes. Kiara felt as if they were deceiving her at that very moment. Reality set in. He was really gone.
CHAPTER 33 (Kiara)
The service was wonderful. There were beautiful flowers everywhere and pictures of him from the day he was born, just about up until the time of his death. Everyone got to come up and tell how much he meant to them, and how much he would be missed. The sun was still out but it didn't matter. It was still chilly outside due to winter approaching. Jordan did always love the winter rather than the other seasons Kiara thought. A smile tugged at her lips when she glanced upward towards the sky. He's in a better place.
Exiting the church with Dominic in tow and baby ashaun bundled and buckled up into his baby stroller. Dominic gave her a reassuring look that everything was going to be alright. She kissed his cheek and he returned a kiss to her forehead.
"Thank you so much baby. You've been there for me these past few days and-----and I love you for that." She whispered into his chest as more tears cascaded down her face. She couldn't bear to see them lowering his body six feet under so they left early. She needed so rest. While she laid upon her stomach, Dominic caressed her back using small comforting circles; all the while running his fingers through her tresses.
After feeding the baby and putting him down for a nap, Dominic fell asleep right next to Kiara only to wake up and find kiara standing on the patio watching the water droplets fall from the sky.
"Feeling better?" He questioned.
She shook her head yes. "As long as I have you----."
***
It's been weeks since Jordan's death, almost 2 months. Life must go on though.
"Baby I’ll be home soon. Don't worry. I just had to stop by the grocery store really quick"
"Well hurry up, I'm horny as fuck." Dominic stated.
"I might be able to help you with that papi." She purred.
"Don't say shit like that. You making my dick harder." She chuckled at the thought.
"Boy you need to be worried about my baby. Where is he anyways." She quizzed.
"He's sleeping bae." Dominic said.
"Good. Like I said before, I will be home shortly so I'll see you then."
"Aight."
"I love you." Kiara uttered the phrase all most everyone wants to hear.
"I love you too." He said.
CHAPTER 34 (???)
"There goes that bitch right there. Go handle your business and if you handle it right I might give you extra cash."
"I changed my mind. I'm not doing this shit no more. What if she ends up hurt?” The mystery guy asked.
"Of course I want her to end up hurt. That was the plan." She yelled.
"You're fucking crazy if you think I'm going to jail over some petty shit like this." He stated only to have her take a step closer to him.
"Fuck you then. I don't need your ass. I'll do it myself."
***
"This is nice." Kiara mumbled. She and Dominic were taking a nice, hot, bubble bath.
"You just wanted to get me naked." He mumbled.
"And if I did?" She questioned.
"All you had to do was ask."
"Oh so it's that easy?" She laughed at his response.
"You want to see me naked, I want to see you naked; it's a win, win situation."
"I figured you would say that." Kiara loved his sense of humor.
"Seriously though, I've been thinking." Dominic said.
"About what? What's on your mind?" She asked.
"Us. Like this is the first relationship that I've really been in. Normally I would just fuck a girl and then never call her ass again. I realized that it was time to grow up and settle down. I don't know if we're really going to work out, but I'm praying that we do. I wouldn't mind marrying you, and having some little Dominic's and Kiara's running around alongside ashaun. I'm trying to spend the rest of my life with you. If you'd let me." Dominic declared intertwining his fingers with hers.
Kiara readjusted herself so that now she was sitting on his lap facing him. Giving him a peck on the lips she responded to his statement. "Of course I'd let you. I feel the same way. I've never had a man to treat me the way you do and for that I feel like the luckiest woman in the world. Like I've finally found the one." Kiara ended her sentence by putting bubbles on top of his freshly cut head. She had Dominic cheesing harder than a fat kid eating cake.
"You about to feel real lucky in a minute." He smirked sucking on her neck, hard enough to produce a hickey.
"How lucky?" She moaned once Dominic rubbed his manhood against her opening.
"I don't think you want me to show you." He whispered, his eyes filled with pure lust.
"Show me." She begged hoping he would end her misery.
Before Dominic could get halfway in, there was a knock at the front door. They both groaned in annoyance. "Man who the fuck is that." Dominic mumbled, adding more incoherent things to the equation. Kiara quickly dried off and grabbed her robe from the closet. Opening the door, she didn't expect to see a crying Princess standing there.
CHAPTER 35 (GINO)
"And how do you feel about that?" The psychiatrist questioned him, he didn't want to be there but he knew he needed help.
"I don't know. Stop asking me stupid ass questions." Gino said
She began to scribble things down. "And what the fuck do you keep writing?"
"Calm down. It's nothing serious. I just jot down certain things that will help me understand you more."
With those reassuring words he began to loosen up a tad bit. He was surprised at his self for the simple fact that he was sitting across from a beautiful, young psychiatrist and she hadn't even tried to jump his bones yet or vice versa.
"Now tell me about your relationship with your parents. Preferably your mother." As she peered over her clip board, across the room at him, she could see the fury in his eyes.
"I don't want to talk about that bitch. Next question." Gino said.
"No we can't move on unless you cooperate."
"Fine then, she made me and my sister do things. YOU HAPPY NOW! Next question."
"Things like what?" She quizzed.
"Bad things." He mumbled looking away.
"I need you to elaborate more Andres."
"She made me who I am today. The reason I act so vicious towards people and---the reason why I can't be a better damn father to my child is all her fault. She pushed my father away when I was about nine years old. She was a junkie and my dad couldn't take it so he left. He came back to visit whenever he could but that wasn't enough for me and my sister. We wanted him back as a full time father. About a year later my parents ended up back together but she was back to her old ways. She was smoking and shooting up all the rent money. My dad began selling drugs to support us and my stupid bitch of a mother stole from his stash resulting to his murder. One thing you never do once you're in the game---you never come up short; or that's your life. Some nights we didn't eat, and our clothes were torn and raggedy. We lived a hard life."
"So what is it exactly that she made you and your little sister do Andres?" She probed wanting more descriptive details.
"She would have random men come in the house and do things to Maria and grown ass fucking women would pay her to suck my dick. I'd have to basically let them have their way with me. I can't count on my hands how many fucking times I was pretending to sleep so that maybe they'd have some sort of sympathy and leave me alone. But it didn't work. Sometimes men would come into my room, make me get naked, and jack off to the sight of my nine-year-old body. They'd pay extra if she let them kiss me----on my dick. I HATED IT. But if we refused then she'd beat us so we had no choice. We even thought about running away." He chuckled as a lone tear cascaded down his cheek.
She handed him a tissue.
"So in order to forget everything I wanted to start over. I began going by the name Gino. My full name is Andres Giovanni Lawrence. So I took Giovanni and moved the letters around. I soon came up with the name Gino. I felt as if it was something that I had to do to cleanse myself from that old person I use to be.”
"Do you like being this Gino character?" She asked.
"No."
"Then why do you do it?" She asked handing him more tissue.
"Honestly I don't know."
She put her hand up. "OK. Repeat after me---My name is Andres, not Gino."
He did as he was told and repeated after her.
"In my opinion this Gino person sounds like bad news; you need to repeat that as often as possible so that the words can finally start to sink in. You are not him okay. Do you understand?"
