Chapter 917am Friday morning:Syncere's POV: At the Hospital “What the fuck is taking them so long, they were both fully alert and the bleeding wasn't bad, but they have been in surgery for four hours.” I said as I paced. My heart has been beating rapidly since we've been at this hospital. I can't believe how fucked up my life is right now. My girl got shot because of me, when we heard someone yell gun, I had no time to react before the bullet forced Jazz to slam into me. I can't believe she got shot, it all seems unreal, we haven't left the hospital since we arrived hours ago. “I don't know, but all your pacing is giving me a headache, just sit down, pacing won't make them finish any faster.” Shawn said lifting his head out of his hands. He was worried to death about Leah, she took a bullet for him. Neither of us knew how much Shawn meant to her, until now. What she did was crazy as hell, and Shawn planned on fussing at her as soon as she is up. “SYNCERE, SH
Chapter 92 Syncere's POV: ContinuedAt the hospital: I just wanted to tell them everything, to get it over with, so I started from when we saw Kymoni getting harassed by a guy at the party. I told them that, me and Shawn just wanted to go outside to make sure the girls got to their car safely. I had told them how I told Jazz and Leah to stay in the club, while me and Shawn went outside to find Essence and Kymoni. Then I told them that we didn't know when or why Jazz and Leah were outside in the first place. I told them when we got outside, we saw that Kymoni and Essence were getting attacked by the guy that was stalking Kymoni in the club, and how me and Shawn jumped in to protect them from getting hurt. I told them that when the security guards broke up the fight is when we first saw that Jazz and Leah had come outside. They were trying to get us to my truck before the cops showed up, because the coach would kill us if we were caught up in a fight that got the cops called
Chapter 93If them hospital Wall could gossip! POV:“WHAT THE HELL IS THE MEANING OF THIS OFFICER ROUNDHOUSE? WHY ARE THEY HERE? THEY’RE THE REASON OUR GIRLS ARE IN THERE FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES! THEY SHOULD BE LOCKED UP AS ACCOMPLICES TO THE CRIMINAL WHO SHOT OUR GIRLS, THEY'RE NOT VICTIMS!” “Officer sir, is this how you're going to conduct this meeting? Are you the one in charge, or is she? Because if she is, then I think me and my friend should leave and wait until another time to give our statements. Oh and by the way, you're welcome because I'm the one who made sure your daughters didn't bleed out on the streets. I'm the reason they are able to be in a surgical room and not in a fucking morgue.” Kymoni said to Mrs. Taylor who gasped and started crying at the mention of what could have happened. Leah’s mother was also crying at the mention of what could have happened. “Damnit Kymoni did you have to say it like that, why don't you think before you speak sometime.” Shawn
Chapter 94If them hospital Wall could gossip! POV: Continued “Fuck!” Shawn said getting up pacing the floor. Essence laughed. “Nah you should say, I fucked up, instead.” Essence said chuckling. She knew Syncere was staring at her, but she didn't want to deal with him either. “Shawn Haynes, you're up next.” Officer Duncan said, coming in. “Where is my friend?” Essence asked when Kiki didn't come back into the room. “She said she needed some air, and will meet us back in the conference room.” Officer Duncan said, as Shawn's shoulders slumped knowing she just didn't want to be near him. After the Officer and Shawn left it was just Essence and Syncere left in the now tiny ass room with no window. Essence got up and went to the far side of the room to act like she was reading what was on the bulletin board. “Essence, I'm sorry.” Syncere said as he came up behind her, pulling her close, bending down so their faces were close together, he needed to feel her warmth. He now
Chapter 95If them hospital Wall could gossip! POV: Continued “Now I hope that you not trying to attack my daughter, in front of the police.” A man said as he walked into the conference room as everyone stopped to see who had interrupted their meeting. “Who the hell are you?” Mrs. Taylor asked. “DADDY!” Kiki said in shock then turned to Essence. “You called my daddy?” “Yes, because I knew you lied, when I asked did you call. “Yes, she called and I am glad she did.” Kiki's dad said walking into the room confidently. “Well that makes one of us who's glad because apparently my daughter didn't think she should have called her mother to let her know she had been attacked.” As Essence's mom walked into the room followed by three tall country-built men walking in behind her. “MOMMA! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BRING THEM!” Essence said pointing at her brothers who all held a playful smile that Essence knew wasn't playful at all. “Oh god, momma why did you let Big C bring Betsy?” Ess
Chapter 96If them hospital Wall could gossip! POV: Continued “Officer there is no need to go through all that we found both men a couple hours ago. Crazy thing is once we found them they were beaten pretty bad. They volunteered to tell you everything that happened last night, if we gave them a ride to the hospital to get checked out. We agreed but they had to ride in the back of my truck with Trina, and they had an accident on the way here. I have a sign saying don't play with the turtle. Apparently, they didn't take it seriously and one ended up losing his trigger finger and the other lost a hand. We have them in a bag for you to get their prints I'm sure it will match the prints on the gun we have as well as the hand will match the one that was wrapped around Kiki’s throat last night.” Big C said as he held up a baggy with a hand and a finger in it . Everyone gasped in shock, accept Kymoni and Essence who just held their heads in their hands in embarrassment.
Chapter 97Syncere's POV: I don't know what the hell was going on. Everything happened so fast that I couldn't even process it. As soon as we walked out of the conference room, we found out what room Leah and Jazz were in and went to their shared suite. Dr. Taylor pulled some strings and got them a private suite that they are sharing. As soon as the parents entered the room they ran to the girls; the mothers were all crying, hugging, and fussing over them making sure they were comfortable. The girls loved the attention, they relished in it, me and Shawn stayed back watching the scene. I knew I was still reeling from the meeting in the conference room. The look on Shawn’s face told me that he was probably thinking the same thing. Hearing Essence and Kymoni's name brought me out of my thoughts. “I am so sorry that we couldn't make sure that everyone that was responsible for this wasn't charged. But I promise that I will make sure that they are not allowed to go back to that
Chapter 98Syncere's POV: Continued “What the hell does that have to do with me and my dinner? I didn't say anything to those young ladies, because I didn't think for a minute that they had anything to do with what happen to Jazz and Leah. I care about those young ladies as well, but I will not blame innocent girls of a crime that I don't feel like they had a part in. Especially after I saw the state they were in and the fact that they stayed behind and helped our girls. I will be saying thank you to them and not interfering with the police doing their jobs and I will expect you to stay out of it as well is that clear?” My dad said to my mother, he didn't pull any punches, especially when my mother cross the line. He usually allows her to speak freely, and because he didn't like to get into women business. But when mother questioned him, he would speak his mind bluntly, my mother knew it and cross the line. So when he made his decision clear, she simply bowed her he
Sunday Dinner: The Living room: “Before we eat, I want to welcome all our guest, I am so glad to have met everyone of yall even though it started off on the wrong foot for some of us. Mr. Jamison, I heard it is your birthday and this feast is in honor of you and the fact that you have never had Southern food before, which is a crying shame. But we are about to fix your problem, I must tell you that I am not responsible for any addiction that my food may cause you.” Momma Nelson said with a smile that made Syncere’s mother frown and had Kiki and Essence looking at each other oddly. “Please call me Thomas, and I would like to thank you for this wonderful meal. This is by far the best gift I have ever gotten, and I will walk into this addiction happily with no regrets.” Mr. Jamison said smiling like a fool. “Uh, how about let's say grace so we can eat because I don't know what is happening.” Essence said as Kiki's father said a prayer. Essence and her mother had cooked
Sunday Dinner:Essence's Bedroom:Syncere and Essence: He had only seen the bruises on her face when they were at the hospital. “I didn't say anything because I didn't want my mother and brothers to worry, and it's none of your business. You made it clear where your concerns lie, so stick with that and leave me alone.” Essence said, knocking Syncere's hand away from her, his touch made her skin burn and her body crave him. Syncere looked at Essence as she headed back into her closet. If she thought she would get away with what she said just now, she made a big fucking mistake. He thought as he went to her door and locked it, before storming into the closet to confront Essence. Syncere stormed into the closet as Essence was on her tip toes trying to reach the top shelf. She hissed again when she tried to do a little jump to reach it. Syncere reached above her easily and grabbed the tablecloth, and walked out of the closet. Essence followed with an attitude,
Sunday Dinner begins: 2pm The food was laid out across the kitchen counter all in serving dishes to be passed around. My brothers and cousins were leaving once they got their plates, so it would only be me, my momma, Kiki and her daddy, Mr. Jamison, Syncere, Shawn, Unique, and Anthony eating at the table. In my house my table was small because it was only me, but of course my brother found a folding table big enough to seat everyone, but it would be put in my living room which I didn't like not one bit. “HEY WE BROUGHT THE TABLE AND WE FOUND SOME STRANGERS WHO WERE BEGGING FOR FOOD OUTSIDE SO WE INVITED THEM TO EAT WITH US!” I Heard Big C yell as he walked in. “I know you fu…I know you lying I'm telling you C if I will punch you in the face if you bring more peop.” Essence was saying as she came down the hall towards the door but stopped dead in her tracks when she came face to face with Syncere. Her words got caught in her throat, he was so fucking fine, He had
Sunday: 1pmSunday Dinner:Anthony's apartment: Anthony and Unique “What time are we heading over to Essence's house?” Unique asked as he tied his belt looking at his self in the mirror making sure his fit was straight. Anthony came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. “I told you we are going to head over there in about half an hour. I don't know why you're so in a rush, I told you that you're not going to date Essence she’s, my friend. I will not allow you to hurt her, I can tell you she will not be ok with dating you if she knows the truth.” Anthony said as he dropped his towel, his dick rested on his thigh as he sat down to lotion is body. Unique stared at his dick and his mouth watered. Unique wasn’t gay, he was enjoying is college years with no limits. Him and Anthony had been fooling around since their Sophomore year, it wasn't anything serious he has had girlfriends and things never got messy. Anthony knows the deal and he respects the
Sunday Morning: 9amEssence's PV: “Momma we been up all-night prepping all the food, baking pies and cakes. Did you even sleep last night?” I asked as me and Kiki groaned, crawling into the kitchen. Yall my momma had woke us up this morning with gospel music so loud, I wondered why my neighbors hadn't called the cops. Then I remembered that momma had introduced and hug every neighbor that spoke to me. To her that made them family automatically and she treated them as such.. By the time she walked away from them, they were calling her momma Nelson, that southern charm is lethal. “Yes, I had a good night sleep I don't know why yall needs ten hours of sleep. Back in my day.” My momma said and we groaned, rolling our eyes not wanting to hear another story about how my grandparents head them up at four a.m. every morning to do chores before school and then came home to go to the fields and pick fruits and vegetables for extra money and didn't get to sleep until two o’clock in
Chapter 100Syncere's POV: Continued “Are you going with your dad tomorrow?” Shawn asked me while I was deep in thought. “Yea, I really want to eat some of that southern home cooking. You see what we have to eat around here, and you remember how Jazz’s food tasted. I hate to even say this but I am glad that we don't have to sit and eat none of that food she was going to ruin, burn, and not season.” I said, as Shawn grimace then laughed when I described all the ways my baby was going to ruin any food she tried to cook. “Well I am going to go and try to talk to Kymoni even though I don't think she will want anything to do with me. I am going to at least tell her how sorry I am about how I reacted to her, and how I fucked up. Essence was right I fucked up, I should have never thought Kymoni would do anything like that. The girls I use to fuck and dump were the type of girls that would do that, but she was different and I should have known that.” Shawn said, seriou
Chapter 99Friday:Essence Kymoni, and family: “Momma why did you invite Syncere, Shawn, Unique, and Anthony to Sunday dinner? How do you know we have enough food to feed everybody, you always be inviting the entire world to eat at our house.” Essence said as they finally left the hospital. She was still reeling from everything that happened earlier, she was glad her brothers showed up and caught von and his friend. Her and Kiki said that they wanted to be adults and not have to call home to our family for help, but they had to admit that they needed it. They weren't rich well known like Syncere and his girlfriend and friends’ parents, but they weren't poor like Mrs. Taylor thought she was. She was in that college on scholarship, not because she was poor and couldn't pay, if need be, but why pay for college when I could go for free. Once they had finally settled everything and cleared their names. Syncere's father came in and apologized to them and thanked her an
