Youngblood

Chapter 16

Six months later.....

Traci

            I was lying in a bed at Bayfront Baby Place, holding my new son.  He was about two hours old.  "You are so gorgeous!"  I said kissing him.  He just laid there in my arms sleeping.  I looked at my husband and daughter as they entered the room.  "Hey Mommy."  Kenny said kissing me.  "Hey Daddy."  I looked at Kelis who was sleeping also.  "How are we doing?"  He asked as we swapped kids.  "Very well, just exhausted."  He smiled at me.  "Is Rachel, with you?"  "No, she wasn't home."  "Where the hell is, she?  Her phone is going straight to voice mail.  I'm so worried about her.  She was just so sad all the time.  I see no progress at all."  "Baby, give her time.  She lost the love of her life.  You don't bounce back from that right away."  "It's been three years."  "Let her take as much time as she needs."  I looked up as Rachel entered the room.  In her arms asleep was Maryah.

 "There you are.  I've been calling you."  "I'm here.  Where's my nephew?"  She asked peeking into Kenny’s arms.  "Oh, my goodness!  You're so beautiful."  We traded children.  "What's his name?"  She asked.  "Tyrel."  She smiled at me.

 "Rachel, where were you?"  "Home."  "Why weren't you answering my calls?" She looked at me annoyed.  "I didn’t want to talk."  "You need to talk. The psychiatrist said it's very important to talk about our feelings, especially you."  She laughed. That made me instantly angry.

  "Rachel, look," "No, you look.  Yes, you have been right here with me going through this with me, but until your husband and children dies over some senseless s**t, you don't get to tell me to talk about my feelings! Or having to wake up, every day with our surviving child and miss them so much you want to die.  You can't tell me how I'm supposed to feel because it's not you going through it."  I watched her hug Tyrel closer to her as her tears uncontrollably flooded out.

  I smiled at her.  "I see you living for your daughter."  "She looks like Mario sometimes."  "She looks like both of you.  She's beautiful."  "I miss my boys so much.  He reminds me of them when they were born."  "Nope, don't do that.  His head isn't anywhere near as big as Robi or Roni's."  We burst out laughing.  "It's close though."  "f**k you, Rachel." I said laughing as I slid over so Rachel could lie next to me.

“It’s okay to miss them Rachel.”  She nodded her head.  “I do.  I miss them all the time.”  I smiled at her.  “This reminds me of when you had the boys.”  I said making her look at me.  “You finally had them and then Mario sent David to Lois Burgers to get food.”  We laughed.  “Yes, I ordered the whole restaurant.”  “Yes, your greedy ass!  And where’s my food?  You know bringing this beautiful child in the world was so hard!  I am hungry!”  She laughed as she looked at me.  “I bought you a nice juicy steak, with a baked potatoes and Caesar salad.”  “Where is it?”  My mouth was beginning to water.  “I was hungry, so I ate it outside your door and then walked in.”   “b***h!”  I yelled making her die laughing as I shoved her off the bed.

Kenny

I had just walked outside the hospital to meet Cameron who had just pulled up.  I slid inside with him.  He looked in my arms at Maryah and then me.

 “I know you did not just steal this baby and then get in my car with her.”  I couldn’t help but laugh.  “So what?  Are you scared now?”  “You damn right!  At least if I go back to prison it’s because I chose to go and not because your retarded ass did some dumb shit.”  He said making me laugh.  “No, this is Rachel’s baby, Maryah.”  He looked at me.  “Oh, she’s here?”  I laughed again.  “Yes, she’s here.”  "She's a cutie."  He said looking at Maryah.  “Dam. she’s into white boys?”  He asked making me laugh.  “What?”  “She looks mixed.”  “She is.”  He stared at her a moment before returning his attention back to me.  "Speaking of which, congratulations."  "Thank you."  "We need to go to Puerto Rico tomorrow.”  “Already?”  I asked.  “Yes.”  “So, there’s nothing left?”  “Kenny there’s always something left.  But we are dangerously low.  I can handle it by myself if you want.”  “No, man, I’m there.”  “Just take some time with your new baby man.”  I looked at him.  “Cameron, do you know how dangerous that is?  I told you I’m coming.”  He shrugged his shoulders as he glanced in the back seat at Tasha who was sound asleep.  “Okay.”

            About an hour later we all were home.  I was helping Rachel tuck the girls into their beds in our five bedrooms, three bath houses.  We had a pool, basketball court, and a game room.  We combined the game room with the playroom to give Traci her nursery.

I stopped Rachel from leaving by stepping in front of her.  I closed the door behind me and walked over towards Rachel, as she sat on Maryah’s bed.  I sat across from her on Kelis’s bed.  “So, Cameron has been on a rampage taking over and stuff.  He’s been bringing in good money, but I’m worried he’s not being careful.  He offered to go to Puerto Rico by himself tomorrow. What do you think?  Am I being paranoid?”  She stared at me long and hard for a moment thinking.  

“Rachel, think out loud.”  I said sitting next to her.  “Cameron doesn’t seem like the careless type.  His reputation speaks for itself.  For as long as he’s been in this business he’s only got popped once and that was because he gave himself up for his dad.”  I stared at her thinking about what she just said.  “Okay.”  I said nodding my head.

A few minutes later, I was in the refrigerator when Rachel walked by, as if she were a zombie.  I felt really bad for her.  I watched her walk outside and sit down in a patio chair.  "You think I'll get cussed out for going out there with her?"  I nodded my head.  I looked at Cameron as he watched her.  "Man, that's just something she got to get through on her own.  Do not push her.  She'll come around in her own time."

Melina

            I was sitting in the living room watching TV.  I couldn’t sleep because I needed s*x!  Not some boring lame s**t either but the good toe curling I’m going to Mars for a while s*x.  I felt like I was going into heat.  How was I ever going to survive another year of s*x with my husband if I didn’t find someone on my level to take away my frustrations?

            I looked at the front door as Kishawn walked in.  He closed and locked the door then sat next to me.  “What’s wrong sis?”  He asked.  “I need to f**k the color out of someone!”  I admitted.  He slid away from me making me laugh.  “That’s not funny.  The last b***h that said that to me ended up pregnant.”  I looked at him as he pulled out his cigarettes.

  “How do you have a baby and I do not know?”  I asked as he lit it and looked at me.  “Are you crazy?  I killed the b***h so she wouldn’t have it.”  I shook my head as I looked away to keep from laughing.  I glanced back at him and realized he was so serious.

 Oh my God, I thought looking away.

 “You need a female.”  He said making me look at him.  “Excuse me?”  “If you f**k another man, eventually Thaddeus will figure it out and all hell will break loose.  If you f**k another woman, he’ll probably figure it out when he’s dead.”  I stared at him   waiting for him to explain further.  “You’ll get some of your frustrations out without getting pregnant.  Plus, that might get you in the mood to sleep with his ass again.”  I stared at him in shock as I wondered if whether or not he went crazy or not. “I got you sis.”  “Wait, what?”  I asked as he jumped up and pulled out his phone.  “Kishawn!”  I called as he exited the house.

 Should I be worried?  I thought turning back to the TV. 

About fifteen minutes later he walked through the front door followed by a woman I had never seen before in my life.  I stood up as they stood before me.  She stared at me before looking at him.

 “Get to work.”  He ordered making her jump.  She rushed over to me and pulled my robe off.  “Kishawn?”  I said as she pulled me over to the couch.  “I’ll be out here.”  He said walking out the front door. 

She pushed me down on the couch and pulled my underwear down.  She flung my legs open and kneeled in front of me.  My curiosity made me watch her tongue disappear inside me.  I was so shocked that I felt so much pleasure as she worked her tongue around my drenching insides.  I fell backwards allowing my legs to open more as she noisily slurped making me squirm under her powerful jaws. 

Everything stopped as Kishawn opened the door.  He angrily stared at the girl striking fear all throughout her body.  “Do better.”  He said making me look at her as she nervously nodded her head.  He looked at me and winked before closing the door back.  She took a deep breath and let it out before looking back at me.

She smiled as she pulled my night gown over my head.  I watched her slide up between my legs, so she was face to face with me.  I held my breath as she leaned into me kissing my past five lives!  I lost myself in that kiss as she removed her shorts revealing her neatly shaved parts.  I gasped for air when I felt her cool tongue fighting my hardened n*****s.  I closed my eyes and let her fingers enter into my overflown womanhood as her hardened n*****s bounced against my stomach with each stroke of her magical fingers.  I held onto her and wrapped my legs around her making her beautiful lips travel back to mine.  I rocked my hips to the beat of her fingers making my sensitive hard n*****s fight with hers.  I moaned for air as she watched me squirm and beat against her fingers for more and more.  That’s when she licked my n****e making my overwhelming sensation burst on her fingers.  She kissed me to muffle my screams of pleasure.

I hugged her as she continued kissing me.  “You like me, don’t you?”  She asked nibbling at my n*****s as she held my hips.  “I think I love you.”  I admitted making her laugh.  “You will after tonight.”  I moaned as she flipped on her back with me on top of her.  I kissed her as we grinded our hips together arousing the dead.  I felt her hands roaming everywhere sending chills to my toes.  She slid down under me, so I was sitting on my knees with her head between my legs.  I closed my eyes and held onto the back of the couch as she began Thanksgiving dinner.  I felt her reach up and taunt my perky n*****s as she devoured my offerings.  I let out a moan of defeat as my build up release all over her face. 

Oh God Bless you!  I thought as she came up for air.  I rested against the couch as she leaned over me grinding her wet lips against my cheeks as she kissed my back.  I shivered under each kiss letting her wonderful hands roam all over my breasts. 

“Do you love me now?”  She asked nibbling my ear.  I nodded my head as I lost myself in our satisfaction.  “How much?”  She asked running her dripping wet tongue down my back to my cheeks.  I trembled as she held my hips from behind.  I felt her spread my cheeks apart allowing her tongue easy access.  I collapsed over the back of the couch in pleasure.

 “How much?”  She asked again slapping my cheeks sending pleasure shocking through my body.  “A LOT!”  I moaned out hugging the couch for stability.  “That’s not enough!”  She said slapping my other cheek as she buried her tongue deeper inside me.  I screamed out in pleasure as I hugged the couch tighter.  “How much do you love me?”  She asked again kissing my cheeks as she held them apart waiting for my answer. 

I looked over my shoulder at her as she stared at me.  “I love you so much that you are not allowed to leave.”  She smiled at me.  “You are mine now.”  She said staring at me making me nervous. 

That’s when her face disappeared inside of me making me turn around and clutch the couch again.  “Say my name!”  She ordered continuing to devour me. 

I don’t know your name, I thought as I enjoyed her fulfillment.  I felt her slap my cheek as her finger entered me making me want to pass out from pleasure.  “Say my f*****g name!”  I attempted to look at her, but my eyes began to cross.  “I don’t know your name!”  I moaned as she held my hips with her free hand and increase her pressure with the other.  My entire body was shivering like I was having a seizure.  “My name is Helena, now say it or I will leave.”  She growled making me reach my peak.  “NO!  HELENA DON’T LEAVE!  STAY PLEASE!”  I felt the juices in my brain leak out of me and on to her fingers.  That’s when she dropped and began devouring everything from behind making me go insane.

My moans advanced into a pleasurable scream as I rolled my hips over her tongue. She continued to go deeper and deeper until I burst all over her face again.  This time she didn’t come up for air.  She kept eating like she hadn’t eaten for the last decade making my scream louder and burst again her face again. 

I looked at Marquan as he stood half asleep in his doorway.  I waved him back in the room as the woman sat next to me.  He quickly closed his door as I collapsed in Helena’s arms.  I was so exhausted I couldn’t move.   I looked at Kishawn as he smiled at me.  “Feel better?”  He asked trying not to laugh.  I managed a nod before I passed out.

Cameron

            I watched Rachel stare up at the sky for a while.  "How'd he die?"  I asked Kenny.  "What?"  "Her boyfriend.  You never told me how he died just that he did."  "Wrong place at the wrong time."  "Oh.”  Whoa, I thought looking at him.  I nodded my head.

 I knew that loss, that emptiness she felt.  Putting on a brave face for the world to see, falling apart when you’re by yourself.

Somehow knowing that made me feel closer to her.  I wanted to go to her, but I knew the outcome would not be good.  I held myself at bay by just watching her lost in her thoughts. 

As if sensing me she looked at me with a blank stare.  Hypnotized by her stare I sat there mesmerized by the beauty of her soul.  Staring into her eyes made perfect sense to me.  In that moment of clarity, I discovered she was the one that was meant for me.  She was distraught over a man that was not for her only because she didn’t know I was the man God created for her.

 I only wish that she could feel me and know I’m here.  The love you think you lost and will never find again is here waiting on you ready to be taken.  Know that if he was not of you, he could not continue with you, and I am of you.  I am the dream man you have dreamt of and will love you like a dream. 

“Cameron?”  Kenny said breaking my stare as he bit into his sandwich.  “What?”  “Stop drooling.”  “f**k you.”  I said making my sandwich.  I glanced back at her as she began to drift to sleep.

About an hour later Kenny and I were on the basketball court playing one on one.  So far, we were tied.  “So, you are getting tired?”  I asked shooting the ball over his head.  We watched it sail into the net. “Lucky shot!”  He said as I looked around him at Rachel, who was walking toward the pool.

            “Is she awake?”  I asked watching her walk through the gate to the pool.  “Rachel?”  Kenny called as we stepped towards her.  That’s when she walked right into the pool.

 NO!  I thought running towards the pool with Kenny.  It felt like each step we took was forever as we ran full speed to the pool.  I watched my love helplessly and slowly sink to the bottom as the air escaped her lips through bubbles.

Panic filled my lungs as I reached the gate. I jumped over the fence and dived in the pool as she continued to sink to the bottom.  I swam to her as fast as I could and grabbed her hand which was floating above her.  I pulled her into me as I raced to the top.  I emerged with her first hoping she would get air as soon as possible.  Her long, beautiful hair drowned as her body lay limp over my shoulder.  I fought through her hair while trying to swim with her to the edge. 

 “Is she breathing?!”  Kenny asked franticly as he helped me get her on the pavement freeing me from her wet mane of hair.  I took in a few deep breaths as I pulled myself out the water.  “She’s not breathing!”  He freaked out making me fly to my queen’s side.

Rachel

            I couldn't believe I was staring into my heart's desire's eyes.  "Hey, bae."  Mario said as I sat up.  He laughed as I hugged him with all of my strength.  "I missed you so much."  I said crying hysterically.  "Bae calm down."  He said wiping my tears.  "Calm down, look."  I looked around him at my beautiful boys.  "MOMMY!"  They screamed running into my arms.  I hugged all three of them as I cried.  "Bae, we can't stay."  He said pulling away from me.   "No, please don't go."  I said pulling him into me.  "We're always with you."  He held my tear-soaked face in his hands as he kissed me.  "Rachel, live your life.   We don't want you stuck, not being able to get over the past.  Live for you and Maryah, not just her. It's starting to take a toll on her.  Choose to live.  We are here with you every step of the way."  "Yeah Mommy, stop being so sad all the time.  We are always here with you."  I smiled at Robi.  "Tell Maryah we love her."  Roni added.  "If you continue like this you will die.  Then she'll be all alone for real.  How you think that'll make her feel?" I nodded my head. "Live baby, just live."   “Please don’t leave.”  I begged as they smiled at me.  That’s when I felt so sick, I began vomiting.  The force of me vomiting made me close my eyes and let it all out.

            When the force subsided, I opened my eyes.  I tried to make out the blurred figure holding me on my side and rubbing my back. 

Cameron?  I thought as he stopped rubbing my back.

"Are you okay?"  He asked as I sat up.  I looked at his clothes, which were dripping wet.  "What happened?"  He helped me up and into a chair.  "You were sleep walking.  You went into the pool and almost drowned."  I looked at Kenny as he stood over us panicked.  "I'm okay."  “Rachel, I can't lose you."  He said wrapping a towel around me then hugging me.  I looked at the red and blue reflections bouncing off the house.

 That’s when I felt Cameron push my hair out my face.  He tried to hide his fear behind the smile he flashed me.  Instead of smiling back I buried my face in Kenny’s chest.  The thought of Mario and my boys being right there and then at the blink of an eye gone again sent my tears pouring out again.  I felt the lost all over again.
