Chapter 139 In Essence's Apartment:Third person's POV:Unique and Essence: “Oh ok cool, I promise I won't be long I just want to talk to you for a minute, but not out here all out in the open.” Unique said, trying everything in him not to snap at her. He knew it would get the door slammed in his face. Essence looked at him remembering she had to talk to him anyway. “Yea, I can give you five minutes, because I actually have some things to talk to you about as well, and it might as well be now.” Essence said, pulling her door open allowing Unique into her apartment. Before she could react, he pulled her into the door way wrapping his arms around her tightly. “Hey, man I just took a shower, I'm not trying to get sick out here. You gotta stop doing that shit it isn't cool.” Essence said pulling away from Unique shoving him, but his size meant he didn't move at all. “My bad I just missed you that's all, when you didn't want to eat with us today, I thou
Chapter 140In Essence's Apartment:Third person's POV: Continued:Unique and Essence: Sometimes when somebody from the city finds out where she was from, they would start to talk like she was deaf or didn't understand words. When she was training for her at home job, once she introduced herself and told the class where she was from, they immediately started acting weird. The instructor would tell the class something and she would automatically say shit like. “Essence if you didn't understand what I just said just let me know before class ends and we will go over it again.” That pissed her off, she's country through and through but please don't think she can't speak proper English when need be. That pissed her off, so needless to say she worked her ass off, and by the second month of working for the company she was training her own class, because bitch don't play with her. Damn it! Kiki was right she definitely had a competitive problem. Essence thought as she
Chapter 141Syncere's Truck:Syncere and Jazz: “I can't believe you made us ride in an ambulance Syn, my arm is really broken, and all you could think about was chasing that girl.” Jazz said, as Syncere pulled out of the Emergency parking lot. “How many times I have to tell you that you are going to have to start figuring your own shit out. We're not together, we're are friends and if I don't have other things to do and you need something I don't mind helping you out. But me being the first person you call will have to stop, if you can't handle that then I guess we can't be friends.” Syncere said harsher than he intended. He glanced at Jazz and saw that she was crying huddled up against the car door like a scared animal. “Look I'm sorry, I just got a lot of shit on my mind and you're not helping by acting like I am still obligated to be there at your every whim.” Syncere said, softening his tone. Jazz wiped her eyes still looking pissed. “I never thoug
Chapter 142Wednesday Homecoming 6 am Syncere and Shawn's apartment: “Why the hell do I feel like, I haven't practiced or played ball in months. Coach was running our asses today, and I don't know what the hell is going on I couldn't concentrate for shit.” Shawn said as they walked back into their apartment. “Yea me too. We have to get our shit together because if we play like we played in practice we will lose the homecoming game.” Syncere said, as they both fell on their couch. “Yea I know, Kymoni got my head fucked up so bad, and last night didn't help nothing.” “Yea, I saw you coming out of her dorm last night. I thought you were going to tell her everything?” Syncere asked. “Yea that was right after she walked out and saw me and Leah coming out of the community showers together. I was helping her to shower, because her roommate was nowhere in sight. I was just going to wheel her ass in there and come out while she showered, because the doctor had to
Chapter 143Homecoming week Wednesday:Dormitory:Jazz and Leah: “I can't believe that I might have gotten to Syncere in convincing him that, that fat bitch was just playing him. That she had been playing him from the start and messing with him and Unique. He went to her apartment last night and saw her and Unique lip locking. He came here pissed as hell, once he told me what happened I immediately started telling him that I was right all along. Although he still kept me at arm’s length and even got mad when I tried to seduce him, but I think if Unique keeps showing Syn that him and Essence is together, he will come back to me. I bet by the end of the week, we will be back together and then we can go on spring break and start over fresh. The thing that will keep us together this time is I won't even bring up none of this shit. I won't throw it in his face, it will be like none of this happened. When you and Shawn get back together you will have to be re
Chapter 144Wednesday 6p.m. 2nd competition starts: “What the hell is this next mission supposed to be? Because I promise my body parts are not touching nobody I don't know, I have reached my body touching strangers limit for the month. I already made an appointment for next week, the office was shocked when I told them I needed to be tested for everything they can think of. Shit, I'm not taking no chances, did you see them booga boos that was on that last night?” “Hell yea I saw them, that's why when I called the doctor office for my test, they all laughed because they said that my call was the second call they had that day. I am not playing no games, nobody got time to be the first to create a virus based off all the diseases that could have been on that stage.” Essence said, and her and Kymoni laughed at their seriousness about not catching a damn thing from none of them fools that was on that stage. They were weaving through the crowd, it was crowd
Chapter 145Wednesday 6 p.m. 2nd competition starts: Continues When he saw Unique grabbed her hand, he wanted to go to her and pull her away from him. He didn't know how long he could continue to see that dude all over her. He needed to talk to her so he could find out where he stands in her life. He thought once he broke up with Jazz, he would take some time to get use to the new reality that he and Jazz were no longer together. But now that Unique has made it known that he wants Essence, he realize he didn't have the time to wait. He already knew he wanted her, wanted to be with her. He still didn't know if it was love yet but he knew what he felt for Essence was far more intense than anything he had ever felt with anyone he had dated Jazz included. “Syn why do you insist on embarrassing me in front of everyone. You don't have to respond every time she says something about us being together.” Jazz said glaring at Syncere who shrugged. “ Fun fact if you keep your mo
Chapter 146Wednesday2nd competition: Continues “How far is the fucking Cafeteria, it feels like we been running at least an hour.” Kymoni said breathing heavily. “I swear it feels like it friend, somebody musta pick the cafeteria building up and moved it because I know damn well it isn't supposed to be this far.” Essence said, breathing hard as well. They had been running towards the Cafeteria, for a few minutes. After they started running Leah and Shawn came barreling their way, He was pushing Leah in her wheelchair. He had caught up to them with ease, and passed them. The men had run ahead of them to find out what obstacles they had laid out for them. But the women including Jazz was trailing behind, soon after the men came into view and with that view came the big ass obstacle they had to cross in order to get to the Cafeteria right behind it. “I know you fucking lying, who the fuck is doing all that dumb shit when we just got finished running like Flo Jo.” Ess
Chapter 233 The Hospital Showdown Continued: “Yall go ahead and stop coming this way, so just back the fuck up. Don't make me put a bullet through her chest and not her back this time. Please don't test me, because you already know what I'm capable of.” Unique said shoving Debra who cried out in shock. “Shut the fuck up bitch!” Unique said hitting her in the back of the head with his gun. Debra screamed but kept pushing the bed, she was trying not to make any sudden moves. “Please, just let my baby go, I will not try to come after you, just leave her here. She is too fragile to be going through this, I promise my family won't come after you if you just leave her here.” Eula said with her hands stretched out towards Essence praying that this man just let her go. She couldn’t bare it if he took her while they were all standing there. “Well Mother-n-law I'm afraid I might not be able to do that, because I am sure someone has called the cops and your family have
Chapter 232 Syncere and Shawn's apartment: “FUCK! WE GOTTA GO!” Syncere said rushing out of his room. Shawn and Kymoni were at our dining table eating a sandwich, while our parents were still there, sitting in their living room. Kymoni looked up at my face and saw the fear, and knew it was about Essence. She was afraid to ask any questions, she just got up grabbed her bag not bothering to put her shoes on as she went to the door. “Wait, son what's going on? Where are you going?” It's Essence somehow Unique got into the hospital and got to Essence. I knew something was wrong, I felt it when I was on the elevator, I knew I shouldn't have left. Fuck!” Syncere was saying as he looked for his keys. He knew they were in plain sight but he was so worked up he couldn't think straight. “Son, you need to calm down and take a breath. Why are you so in a rush to get back. That Unique boy is obviously dangerous, I don't think you should be going there, her family is
Chapter 231A few minutes early: “Hey isn't that Essence's nurse, I thought she was her head nurse or something like that" Kain asked as they got off the elevator, Martrice needed to check a better internet connection. He decided he would stay on the first floor because then internet connection was excellent on that first. He looked up at the nurse in question and frowned. “You're right, she was supposed to be with Essence full time. So she should be with Essence during these test. So what the hell is going on.” Martrice said as he began typing on his laptop. His alarm went off when one of the cameras he had installed on the ICU floors went off. He pulled up the footage and saw man holding his head down, like he knew where the cameras were and avoided them on purpose. A few seconds later the nurses’ station alarms went off in Leah's room. Martrice looked back at his laptop and watched as the man went into the rest room and came back out wearing different clothes.
Chapter 228Essence's room: “Alright folks we have Ms. Nelson settled and ready for her scan, you all can leave we have a special team coming in to do the test. Once we're done you will be paged to transport the patient back to her room. So please have someone on standby that can cover your patients until you're done.” The Financial manager said to the nurses. “Uh excuse me, I’m the nurse in charge of Ms. Nelson, why wasn't I inform that a special team was coming to do the test. Also I am required to stay with the patient, since I am the nurse in charge of Ms. Nelson's care.” Nancy said after the other nurses left. “Nancy there has been a change of plans, the family has requested the best people to test her. They have their own nurse they plan to use, you can head back to the VIP suites and wait for the call that the team is done testing.” “How about I wait here for the other nurse to get here, so I can pass along the notes about the patient. This is a
Chapter 229 Syncere and Shawn's apartment: Continued “Oh hey Kymoni, I didn't see you until just now. How’s your friend doing?” Briana asked with a smile on her face, she wondered why Kymoni didn't tell Shawn about their little talk in the hallway. Kymoni eyes held a comment full of cuss words, but she was trying to not let her mouth start some shit. “She’s, unconscious and they’re doing more test to find out what their next steps are. But I'm sure once this is over, she will be fine.” Kymoni said, her voice trembled a little bit as she talked, Shawn noticed and pulled her close. Susan's smile faltered a little bit, not use to seeing Shawn care for another woman. She only ever saw Shawn treat Briana with such care, so it was strange seeing him do that with someone while Briana was only a few feet away. “Shawn, I heard Syncere say he's missing a couple of games to spend at the hospital. Are you planning to do the same thing?” Susan asked, still not
Chapter 228Syncere and Shawn's apartment: “Are you sure about this, because I am not in the mood and the right frame of mind to entertain bullshit nor making the effort to be respectful when I or my friend is being disrespected.” Kymoni said to Shawn as they got out of Syncere's truck. They had called a car from the hospital, they went by Essence's house to get his truck. Syncere wanted to make sure his tank was filled and ready to go back to the hospital at any moment, if someone called them. “I know baby, I promise my mom was cool when I told her I was in love with you. She was shocked but she wants to see me happy, and me telling her you do that, makes her happy.” Shawn said as he pulled Kymoni into his arms kissing her forehead as they walked to the door. Syncere was happy for his friend, but he couldn't stomach the love they shared, with Essence laying in the hospital fighting for her life. The now familiar ache in his chest came when he thought abo
Chapter 227A parked car six miles away: “So you're the asset sent to assist me? I must admit I am shocked, seeing as though you helped the people who kidnapped my wife in the first place. Tell me why I shouldn't kill you right here and now?” “You could but that wouldn't do anything but activate the bomb that I put under your car before I got in here. You didn't think I would come in here unprepared, did you? My handlers sent me for a reason and that reason being that I'm the best. Lastly, I will help you, but you will not touch Shawn Haynes. If you do then you will have to deal with me and I can assure you, that no one you are connected to will be able to stop me.” Briana said as she sat back confidently. Unique looked at the woman before him with a smirk. He must admit he liked her confidence, and right now he can't be picky about who he hires to help him. “Ok, I can do that, as long as he doesn't come between me and my wife. If he does than you will
Chapter 226VIP waiting room: “We are going to take momma in first and give her some alone time with Essence. Next, we will come back and get the sisters, after that, the rest of you can come in.” Big C said once everyone was settled in the waiting room. Everybody noticed his voice trembled a little bit, because he didn't know what they were going to walk into. He didn't know if he was ready for it, but he knew he had to keep it together for his momma and little brothers. The family all nodded their heads a bit nervous seeing Essence themselves. “Hello everyone, I am lead nurse Nancy, before we go in I would like to go over what you will be seeing. It is better that you know what to expect, it will take the shock away when you actually go in. “So as you know there was a small piece of bone lodged in her heart, that when moved causes cardiac arrest. So in order to prevent that from happening we have strapped her down so she won't be able to move and no one
Chapter 225Parking Lot blocks away: “Debra just sent us an email, she said Essence is out of surgery and is on the VIP floor which will give us access to see her without worrying about cameras. Apparently, the cameras are no longer active because of an incident involving a celebrity getting exposed because someone sold footage of him cheating on his wife will she was giving birth in the room next to her. So the hospital makes the patients and employees sign NDA’s and the cameras were disable. She said you will have to use the secret entrance that their clients use to get into the hospital undetected. She is going to meet us at the back entrance.” Unique's tech guy said as he pulled up the plan for the hospital. “Their tech guy is far more advance than I am, so the only way I will be able to get you in undetected, is if we do it in a less than thirty second intervals for the parking lot and getting to the elevator. Anything beyond that, their tech guy will be
