Kay smiled like she had just found her Misses right. She had so many things going for herself. She was well educated and successful. That was already a step above the gangster Dick Dyke Nore. She didn’t really know her but the little that she did know she really liked. She was really interested in her, and instantly fell in love with her personality. “What about you Miss Diamond are you seeing anyone of significance?” Tiree asked. “I just recently got out of a long relationship with my first love. It’s completely over now” Kay clarified.
“Are you sure that it’s over?” Tiree asked. “I am 200 percent sure. I’ve never been so sure about anything” Kay informed her. Tiree could see the certainty in her face and hear it in her voice. She didn’t want to force the discussion so she changed the subject. “So what do you like to do for fun?” Tiree asked. “I like to travel, exploring new and different things, and to live in the moment” Kay responded. “So do I” Tiree added.
They cuddled up in bed talking and laughing all day. They felt so comfortable with one another. It was almost as if they had be friends forever. They really enjoyed each other’s company. Kay hadn’t smiled so big in a long time. It was pure happiness.
Before they knew it, it was time to get ready for the awards show. “Shouldn’t you be going so that you can be ready for tonight?” Kay asked Tiree. “I have my things in the car” said Tiree. “Oh really how did you know I was going to let you into my room?” Kay asked. “It was written all over your face last night” Tiree replied. Kay laughed “I guess it was. I can’t deny it” she said.
Tiree went into the car to get her things. They took showers and got dressed together for the big event. Kay was still going to go to the event solo until Tiree insisted that she ride with her. They got into Tiree’s Ferrari switching lanes driving 100 miles per hour. They pulled up to the front of the event and hopped out. The paparazzi were having a field day snapping pictures of them.
Once the awards show started they separated and went to their seats. They watched the performances and the Celebrities giving their winning speeches. They kept trying to find one other in the packed house. They flashed smiles, flirted, and eye fucked from across the room.
At the after party Kay was standing and speaking with a group of women. They were admiring her dresses. They were inquiring about having their own personal dresses made. In the middle of her conversation Tiree snuck up behind her. “Pardon the interruption ladies. May I speak with Miss Diamond please?” Tiree asked. The ladies all paused but didn’t utter a word. “Please do excuse me ladies” Kay announced.
“What may I do for you Miss Tiree?” Kay asked. “Come home with me. I’ll cook us a wonderful meal” said Tiree. Kay looked at the gentle woman and just couldn’t resist her charming ways. She gave the ladies her information so they could contact her for business. She apologized that she couldn’t stay and network. They then turned and left the party together. She turned her phone off and enjoyed the pure bliss shared with Tiree.
Tiree set the table with candles, champagne glasses, and flowers all around. She prepared them a steak dinner with corn and mashed potatoes. Kay was very impressed with her cooking ability. Nore never did anything romantic. She thought spending money was considered being romantic, but Tiree was different. She actually knew the meaning and didn’t mind teaching it to her.
She enjoyed every minute of being pampered and catered to. Every second she amazed her. Every minute was better than the last. It was like she was in a real life romance movie or a fairytale. After dinner they made sweet passionate love until moonlight turned to sunlight. She spent the rest of her days in California with Tiree. She showed her around the city. Kay didn’t want to go home, but she knew she had to get back to business and face the music.
Once Kay got onto the plane the whole situation started to play over in her head. She didn’t understand how she could be so in love with Nore, and hate her so much in the matter of minutes. It’s a very thin line between love and hate which both Dru and Nore had crossed. By the time she made it to her car rage started to fill her heart.
While she was on her way home she turned on her phone to see if Tiree had left her a message. The first message she heard was from Nore she erased it. The second message was from Dru. The next one was from Twan. She decided to listen to Twan’s message. “Get at me shorty” he said in a serious tone. She called him to see what was going on. She was lost because she had extended her stay and left her phone off for the remainder of the trip.
Twan answered the phone on the first ring “Damn Shorty where you been? I’ve been calling you for the last couple of days. Listen, some niggas hit up one of the spots” he said. “Where are you going with this? Tell me what happened Twan” said Kay. She felt a sudden rush of panic. “They wet it up man. Dru and Nore was in the crossfire they got hit” he said. She couldn’t believe her ears. “So what are you telling me? Are they ok? Tell me they’re ok Twan” said Kay. “They’re gone” said Twan.
She couldn’t cry any tears. She was too in a state of shock. “Where were you?” Kay asked. “I was on my way there, but when I got there it was too late” He said. “When did this happen Twan?” asked Kay. “Three days ago” he replied. “Three days ago what did the police say?” Kay asked. “They didn’t find any evidence or anything. They just labeled it as another drug related robbery gone badly” said Twan.
“So they don’t know who did this?” asked Kay. “Not from what I heard on the news and on the streets” Twan replied. “Where are you?” Twan asked. “I was on my way home” Kay replied. “Well look why don’t I come over and we can finish talking about things. You don’t need to be alone at a time like this” Twan suggested. “Ok sure” Kay agreed.
When she got home all the emotions hit her at once. She still couldn’t believe they were gone. How could they have been dead for three days? She thought. Everything was happening so fast. She walked around the house full of pictures and memories of the happy times of their relationship. She then looked in the closet filled with Nore’s clothes and shoes. She nodded her head in disbelief.
She heard a car pull up outside and wished it was Nore coming home. She knew she had to face the harsh reality that she was never going to see her again. She started to think about their last conversation. She thought about how she would never hear her voice again. She then regretted deleting her messages. Twan rang the doorbell and waited for Kay to open the door.
She opened the door falling into his already open and inviting arms. Her eyes were red and full of tears. That was right up his alley. He held her soft body tight indulging in her sweet perfume. They walked into the house and sat down next to one another on the couch in the living room. “Are you ok?” he asked in such a sincere tone. He held her close to him taking advantage of her vulnerability.
“I have to see the bodies. I just can’t believe that this is happening. I won’t believe they’re gone until I see it with my own eyes” she said. Twan took a deep breath “They got shot up really bad it’s going to have to be a closed casket. Their faces are shattered” he said. Kay turned her head away trying to fight back her tears, but was unsuccessful.
She knew if this was true she had to pick a funeral home and a church for the funeral. She also knew that it wouldn’t be easy. She and Twan fell asleep on the couch together. They had stayed up for hours crying and reminiscing on past times. For the moment she had forgot about what they did to her. Although they had put a big dent in her heart she still loved them both very much.
The morning after she and Twan went to start the painful process. They picked out the caskets, obituary, tuxedos, tombstones, funeral home, and church. She was happy to have Twan standing right by her side. He offered her the support she needed to get through the situation without having a nervous breakdown. They were closer than they’d ever been. Going through this tragedy had bonded them together.
Twan stayed at the house with her every night leading up to the funeral. They were each other’s support system.
She had always saw Twan as a brother. He was now showing her his more sensitive side. Getting dressed for the funeral Kay looked in the mirror at herself as everything she’d ever loved faded away. Twan and Kay shared a limo. There was complete silence the entire way there. Kay couldn’t believe she was burying them as silent tears rolled down her face.
The funeral was a huge turnout. People which she had never seen all showed up to pay their last respects. She walked up center stage to say a few words on their behalf.
“Nothing I say or do will ever bring them back into my presence. There’s nothing on earth that will ever fill the emptiness in my heart. They were my everything and more. It’s going to be beyond hard to find a way to continue on with life without them by my side. Hopefully with strength from the man above there has to be a way. Thank you all for coming out to give your love and support. Regardless if they crossed your path in a good or bad way I appreciate you coming. They had the kind of personalities and charisma that made you want to be around them. Although I can’t see their faces or touch their bodies physically, when I close my eyes the memories will forever live on inside of me. Thank you all once again for coming” she said before returning to her seat.
Twan held her in his arms as they returned to the limo for the burial services. At the grave site Kay tossed flowers in their graves. She cried a river as they were lowered down into the ground. Twan was right there to wrap her up in his arms and provide comfort. Their tombstones read R.I.P for you are only sleeping and will live on forever in my heart. After they left the burial grounds Kay went on to sulk in her bed for the remainder of the day.
She looked at her phone to see that Tiree had called her multiple times. She couldn’t find the strength to talk to her. She was just too broken up about everything to talk. Twan had left to handle some business and she was all alone to think about everything. She held onto her pillow tight thinking and missing her brother and lover until she cried herself to sleep.
Twan returned the next morning with a moving truck. They were going over to Dru’s house. Kay didn’t want to do it, but she knew it had to be done. She had to pack up all of his things. All of his assets were in her name being as though she was the only legal one of them all. He had over a Million dollars spread across her accounts. They had packed up his things and put them in the truck.
She took all his Jewelry valuing at One Million dollars itself and kept it with her just in case she wanted to liquidate it. She had gotten a storage for all of his and Nore’s belongings. Twan went on to unload the truck at the storage while she went home to pack up Nore’s things. She went into the safe Nore had up in the attic. Nore didn’t know she knew the combination. She just never had the urge to go inside of it until now. She anxiously turned the knob on the combination lock to the numbers of the code to unlock it.
There was $500,000 in cash, jewelry, and something she didn’t expect to find. She found a damn pregnancy test. She pulled the test out of the safe and turned it around to see the results. They were positive. Her emotions immediately switched from sad and depressed to rage. Finding that positive pregnancy test provided her with the closure she needed. It reminded her of their secret love affair.
She felt a weight being lifted off of her shoulders. She emptied the safe and put $400,000 and the jewelry in the trunk of her car. She tossed all of her pictures, clothes, and shoes in boxes. Twan and the other guys loaded the things up in the trunk and took them to the storage. She felt so much better knowing the truth instead of living a lie.
Once Twan made it back to the house she was in the guest bedroom sleeping. She had taken a shower and laid her mind to rest. Twan rang the doorbell awaking her from her sweet dreams. She slowly picked her body up from the bed to answer the door. When she opened the door all she was wearing was her robe.
“Hey” she said wiping the mucus out of her eyes. She then turned to walk back into the bedroom. “Do you mind if I lay with you?” He asked. “I guess not” she responded. She crawled underneath the covers and said goodnight. Twan scooted up behind her and placed his fully exposed erect penis on her ass. As soon as she felt it she jumped out of the bed. “What the hell do you think you’re doing Twan?” she said with anger.
“I was hoping maybe we could try to make things happen between you and me” Twan said boldly. “Twan look I got love for you as a brother, but I like women. I’m a lesbian! I don’t like dick. Look its $100,000 cash in a bag on the couch. It’s yours. I don’t want this crush you have on me to ruin our friendship. I want you to be that brother to me that I need. You’re all I have left” she said crying.
“Alright Shorty” he said in a disappointed voice. She walked up to him giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. He turned around with shattered dreams and slept out on the couch. Twan thought with Dru and Nore out of the equation she would give him a chance, but boy was he wrong.
Dru and Nore had called a meeting between the three of them. They wanted to let Twan know that Nore was getting out of the game. That was going to make him and Dru the two top dawgs. Nore and Dru waited at the trap house for Twan to arrive to give him the good news. When Twan arrived they said “It’s about time nigga what took you so long?”
Their eyes lit up when they saw what he was holding. He was toting an AK-47. Before they were able to react he let off multiple rounds. He sprayed the entire room with bullets shooting them in the face, head, and chest. He was aiming to kill. Once he executed his mission he heard police sirens and fled the scene. With him being the only man left standing he clenched the number one spot on the streets.
He was now the head honcho, but his plan with his main objective failed severely. He had done them dirty, but he felt like they deserved it after what they did to Kay. He didn’t trust them anymore. He didn’t know what they were capable of after they betrayed Kay. If they could do that to the most important person to them that made him wonder what they could do to him. His chances at being with, Kay was zero. He struck out in that field, but hit a homerun in the game.
Kay went Downtown to her Boutique to check on things. Payton had done a good job with the inventory and managing the operation in her absence. During her tragedy she had totally neglected her business but it was left in good hands. That showed her that Payton was capable and trustworthy. She let her know she was going to put her house up for sale. She was moving to California.
Payton’s hard work had finally paid off. Kay told her she was leaving her in charge. She was going to be flying down frequently to check on things. Kay also told her that for now she was just going back up for a week. She needed a vacation after all of the current events that had taken place. She told her that she would be back to take care of all the special orders.
Kay booked a first class flight to California. She had been ignoring Tiree for weeks. After all that she had been through she was in dire need of some tender loving care. She hoped that Tiree hadn’t forgotten about her. After all the unreturned phone calls and failed attempts of contacting her she just gave up. She planned on looking for her a new home. With both of the houses being prime real estate she knew it wouldn’t be hard to sell them.
She just needed to get away from her previous life and move forward. She took a cab to Tiree’s house. She didn’t call to inform her that she was on her way. She was afraid that she might tell her not to come. She paid the cab driver and told him to wait until she got inside before pulling off. She walked up to the door nervous and anxious. She rang the doorbell with hopes of her being home and alone.
After standing at the door waiting for a little over five minutes, she turned around to walk back to her cab feeling disappointed. She stopped as she heard the sound of locks turning and the door opening behind her. Tiree stood there with her locks flowing down her back. She was wearing a wife beater, Gucci shorts, and Gucci flip flops. “Damn” Kay said to herself she looks even better than I remember.
They both stared in each other’s eyes without saying a word. “Well aren’t you going to invit
e me in?” Kay asked breaking the silence between them. Tiree moved over to the side creating space for her to walk in. She walked into the house and Tiree closed the door behind her. “We need to talk” Kay said. They walked outside to Tiree’s tinted screened in patio overlooking the beach. They sat side by side in the lounge chairs. They listened to the sound of the water beat against the shore and watched the moon lit sky above their head.
“First of all let me apologize for ignoring you. It’s just that so much has happened in my life within this short period of time” said Kay. Tears started rolling down her face as she struggled to speak of the tragedy. Tiree consoled her holding her tight in her arms. “Take your time” she said. Kay explained to her the entire situation. All Tiree had to say was “I would’ve been there for you if you would’ve let me.”
Tiree licked her sweet tears as she provided her with an ear and a shoulder to lean on. Kay told her about her plans to relocate up there. She asked if she would help her find a house. “You’re more than welcome to make a home right here with me” Tiree offered. Kay felt so at home in her arms, but wasn’t ready for that kind of commitment so soon. Tiree was everything she wanted and needed in a woman. She was almost perfect.
