New Beginnings

Man in the Red Jacket.

“What’s going on?”

Tariq turned around.

“It’s nothing mamas. Go back to sleep and I’ll be in there in a minute to explain.”

Leith looked pissed.

“Did he put his hands on you?”

“Why is it any of your business?”

“Because I-”

He took a breath.

“Because I am worried about you and your safety. And your babies.”

“Well I am fine. And so is my child.”

“Don’t lie.”

“Leith just leave. I really am fine. He was just being aggressive because that’s how we are and it freaked me out because I wasn’t expecting it. My best friend calmed me down and made it make sense and I am fine. So you can leave.”

“We need to talk about the details about the dinner.”

“I’m coming to your home and making dinner for us and your mother in three days. Until then, please just stay away.”

“As you wish.”

He left and I turned to Tariq.

“Hey.”

He smiled.

“Hey baby.”

I walked up to him and gave him a hug. He kissed my forehead.

“I am so sorry baby. I really didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“I know. Camilia realized that and made sure I knew that.”

We walked into the room and he didn’t let me go. He picked me up and laid down on the bed so I was on top of him and his hands were on my hips.

“I shouldn’t have done that. I shouldn’t have hurt you or scared you or-”

I leaned down and kissed him.

“It’s okay.”

I laid on his chest and he just held me for a while before we got up and went to bed. He rubbed my waist, hips, stomach, lower back, and my butt trying to get me to fall asleep. We fell asleep and it was peaceful. I woke up a few hours later and got up then got in the shower. I wanted to do something for Tariq, just get away from everything for the day. 

I finished my shower then walked out of the bathroom. He was still asleep so I quietly changed into a pair of jeans and a white tee shirt. I got on his lap and started kissing his face softly until he woke up.

“Good morning sleepy.”

“Good morning mamas. You’re already ready for the day?”

“I took a shower and got dressed if that’s what you’re asking. I want to spend the day together. Leave our phones here, only worried about what we are going to do next. So, get up, shower, get dressed and I will tell them that we are leaving our phones here and heading out.”

“That is a deal.”

He leaned up and started kissing me. He kissed my neck then I got off him. He got up and went into the bathroom then I finished getting ready. I took a few painkillers then put my brace on before my socks and shoes. As he was getting out, I was brushing my teeth.

He walked out with a towel wrapped around his waist and water still all over his upper body. He noticed that I was staring so he chuckled and took his towel off and threw it at me.

“Hey-”

I slowly looked him up and down as he walked away, completely naked. 

“It’s not nice to stare mamas.”

I bit my lip then he got dressed. I finished brushing my teeth and I sat on the bed as if I were mad. He was about to put a shirt on but walked up to me.

“What’s the matter?”

“Tease.”

“I’m the tease? You showered and I didn’t get to watch you get dressed but you got to see me.”

I rolled my eyes.

“Don’t be like that.”

I looked back at him.

“Like what?”

He grabbed my chin softly and made me lie back. He started kissing me then my neck. I softly moaned as he started giving me love bites.

“Not right now.”

“Fine.”

He kissed me again then walked away to put his shirt on. I texted everyone and told them that we were going to spend the day together and leave our phones at the hotel and they all said okay. He finished getting ready then I took our phones and put them in the drawer next to my side of the bed. We walked out into the street and headed over to a small restaurant for breakfast. 

We each had a sandwich and a cup of coffee then we walked around town window shopping. I spotted a jewelry store and decided to go inside. The clerk saw us and she started smiling.

“Hello.”

“Hello, what can I get for you two today?”

“I don’t know just yet. Something called for me in here.”

“I understand completely.”

She smiled at us then I looked around. Something caught Tariq’s eye so he took a picture.

“What’re you looking at?”

“Nothing. I saw something my mom would like.”

The clerk chuckled so I looked up.

“Your mother would love that.”

He smiled. I was utterly confused so I ignored it but I saw a necklace behind her that caught my eye. It was a Sapphire necklace and it was stunning.

“May I see that?”

“Of course.”

She took it off of the display and walked around with it. She put it on me and handed me a mirror.

“It matches your complexion and your eyes perfectly. Your eyes are, strange.”

I chuckled.

“It’s not everyday you meet someone with grey eyes.”

She chuckled.

“Well where I am from, no one has grey eyes. You are the first.”

“Thank you. This is beautiful.”

“It is two hundred dollars. The chain is silver and the diamonds are real along with the Sapphire.”

I looked at Tariq.

“What do you think?”

He smiled.

“Perfect.”

I started blushing.

“I will take it.”

I took it off and handed it back to her. I pulled my card out of my purse and handed it to her. She put it in a case then into a bag for me. We did all of the paperwork then she handed me the bag.

“And the ring?”

He looked at her.

“I’ll come by later on and get it for her.”

She smiled.

“Alright. Have a great day you two.”

“You too.”

We walked out and he grabbed my hand.

“Where to next?”

“No clue.”

We walked for a little while longer before he saw a shop that he wanted to go into. We walked inside and it was a tattoo shop.

“Tariq.”

“Yes?”

“Why are we here?”

“Matching tattoos?”

I rolled my eyes.

“This is where I draw the line. Nothing impulsive.”

“And that necklace wasn’t?”

“The look in your eyes said it all. I wouldn’t have gotten it if you didn’t give me the look you did.”

“What look was that?”

“Like a five year old on christmas morning.”

He started laughing.

“Come on. Something small.”

I rolled my eyes. I looked at the tattoo artist and he smiled at us.

“So, are you going to cave in? Because he doesn’t look like he’s going to give up.”

“Oh he will. He’s wrapped around my pinkie.”

Tariq c****d his eyebrow.

“Oh really?”

“Boy don’t even pretend like you don’t do everything I say. You have to because I am your boss.”

“And before you are my boss you are my girlfriend. Please?”

I sighed.

“Let’s see what you have in mind. I don’t like it, I’m leaving your ass here in Scotland.”

He chuckled.

“Fine.”

We walked up to the artist and he chuckled.

“I knew she was going to cave. You were very determined.”

“Yes sir. I was thinking about something like this.”

He started showing the artist a ‘K’ and a heart underneath it and a ‘Q’ with a heart under it. Meaning ‘King of Hearts’ and ‘Queen of Hearts’.

“Where would you like it?”

“The side of my wrist and hers. That way when we put them together, they match.”

“Alright. Let me sketch out a design and then we can get started. First I need to see some identification.”

We handed him our fake IDs then he chuckled.

“Mariana? I’ve heard your name before.”

Tariq got a little mad.

“You’re that girl that beat her boyfriend in a game of pool.”

I chuckled.

“This must be that boyfriend. I was there last night so I watched it happen.”

“Yup. He can’t play to save his life.”

He looked at me.

“You were cheating.”

“I was not. I was taught how to play by a few of my uncles who never lose. Taught me their tips and tricks that I’m going to teach our child so you lose to them too.”

He rolled his eyes then I started laughing. The artist looked at me funny.

“You’re carrying a babe?”

“Yeah.”

He smiled.

“How far along?”

“Not very far but we are excited.”

“Well I wish you two the best. Here is my sketch.”

The sketches had ‘King’ and ‘Queen’ on it with a heart underneath them and a crown on top.

“I love them.”

Tariq looked at me.

“Please?”

“Fine. They do look amazing.”

He smiled then we all walked over to the desk. He started doing Tariq’s first then I took my card out.

“How much is this going to cost?”

“A hundred and forty total.”

I looked at my cash and saw I had a few twenties. I counted it and it was one hundred and eighty so I put my card back and paid him in cash. He finished Tariq’s and it looked really good then he started mine. After a few hours he finished both of our tattoos and they looked perfect.

“There you are.”

“Thank you so much. Here is your money.”

He counted it then looked at me.

“We have to finish the paperwork then you are good to go.”

We got up and we signed the papers then headed out. We walked around for a few more hours shopping and hanging out together before we wound up at the loch. We walked over to the dock and sat there for a little while until we decided to head back to the hotel to drop everything off and get food.

“Baby.”

“Yes?”

“Do you want to marry me? Not just because I asked but because of your feelings.”

I looked at him.

“I don’t know why you even have to ask that. I must be doing something wrong if you have to question that.”

He took a breath.

“That’s not an answer.”

“Yes. I want to marry you and only you. I want you and I am never letting you go. It’s only you and always will be. As proof, I am literally carrying your baby.”

“Have you ever thought about leaving me? For someone with more power and money and better-”

“I swear to God if you say better looking I am going to slap you into the next millennium. Baby, no one comes close to you.” I stopped walking and grabbed his hands making him look me in my eyes. “You are absolutely perfect. I have never once even thought about leaving you for someone else. And I never will. We will get this bag together, get more power together, build our family together, and be happy together. It’s always and forever going to be us together and I could nor would ever change a thing.”

I kissed him then he pulled me closer.

“I love you mamas.”

“I love you too baby.”

We walked back to the hotel and dropped our things off. I checked my phone and I saw that my friends blew up my phone so I called Mirza.

“Hello?”

“Oh thank God.”

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s Jordan. He’s losing it.”

“What happened?”

“Well he went to your house to see if you were still here. He saw a few guys going in and out bringing your stuff to a truck so he tried talking to them and they told him off. He didn’t take it too lightly and tried fighting one of them.”

“What happened?”

“He’s in the hospital.”

I hung up and called Elijah.

“Hello-”

“Who in the hell put Jordan in the hospital?”

“He started a fight with me because we were moving your guys’ things out. I wouldn’t tell him where you two were moving and I told him to leave and to leave you alone. He didn’t like that and tried swinging at me so I checked him and well, I should’ve taken it easier on him.”

“You think?”

“Look, we have it taken care of. I will pay his medical bills and everything and apologize to his family.”

“Lord have mercy on all of us. I can’t leave for a week without s**t hitting the fan.”

“It’s all taken care of.”

“Fine. Get Frankie to deal with Mark Voss’s issue with the dealer. Send him to Mark’s home to get the details because it’s the only thing keeping him from leaving. We will be home in four days max.”

“Alright.”

I hung up and told Mirza that everything is going to be taken care of then I took a breath. Tariq wrapped his arms around my waist.

“I can’t leave for a few days without s**t hitting the fan.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Jordan tried fighting Elijah because he wouldn’t tell him where we were moving to.”

“Seriously?”

“Now Jordan is in the hospital.”

“Well damn.”

“Yup. So now my friends are freaking out and I don’t know what to do because I’m in a different f*****g country.”

I turned around and sat on the bed and put my face in my hands. Tariq squatted next to me and put his hand on my knee.

“Just remember, you have one year left and you are gone. You are finishing school online, you won’t see them anymore. We are going to have a family, get married, work our asses off to get this bag and more power in the game, and we are going to be happy.”

“You promise?”

“I promise.”

He kissed my forehead then we left again. We walked down the street and sat down at a table. A waiter walked over and handed us each a menu. I got soup and bread and Tariq got a sandwich. We finished eating then walked around for a little while longer before my ankle started hurting.

“Babe can we head back? My ankle hurts.”

“Yeah of course.”

We started heading back but I saw someone suspiciously turn around at the same exact time we did and tried their hardest to make it not look suspicious.

“Ten o’clock. Red jacket.”

I said it with a smile on my face so the guy didn’t think I noticed then Tariq played it off like he was looking at the store.

“I saw him at a*****e then while we were eating. I didn’t think anything of it until now.”

“I saw him too. Let’s see if he really is following us or not.”

We walked past him and walked into the store. He walked in after us and he kept glancing at me then Tariq. I eventually got close enough and pulled my gun out and pressed it against him.

“We are going to walk outside and to the alley slowly. Any fast movements and I will shoot. You understand?”

“Yes.”

We slowly walked outside and Tariq followed behind making sure no one saw us. We got to the alley and I pushed him to the ground.

“Why are you following us?”

“I was hired.”

“Let me guess, Leith Voss?”

“Yes.”

“Well you are terrible at your job. We spotted you multiple times and your jacket makes you stand out. Why did he hire you?”

“To see what you do throughout the day so he knows what to talk to you about. The foods you choose to eat, what clothes and jewelry you like the most, what you don’t like, everything.”

“Well he doesn’t need to hire someone to stalk me to find that out. He could ask.”

“Well I am curious as to why you carry a gun around with you.”

“Situations like this. I’ve had a few stalkers so I carry a gun to protect myself.”

“Nah, I already know. From the way you walk, handle yourself, the way you watch every movement around you, how you pressed that gun against me, you’re in a gang.”

“Have you already reported this to him?”

“Wouldn’t you like to know.”

“Well that’s not a yes which means you haven’t. The trick of trying to deceive someone who does that for a living is to seem as cocky as possible. Your hands are shaky, you keep looking for a way out, and your eyes said it all when I asked.”

He shook his head.

“You’re good.”

“I’ve been around the block a few times. Now, what am I going to do with you?”

I pulled my phone out and handed it to Tariq.

“Call Cam and get him and Cole over here to take him to the warehouse and tell them to dispose of him.”

“Okay.”

I hit him over the head with my gun and put it away. Tariq called Cam and he said they are on their way to us. I made sure he was knocked out when they got to us. They pulled up in a truck so we put him in the back and they left. We walked back to the hotel.

As soon as we got inside Tariq picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He locked the door and carried me to the bed.

“All I could think about all day was how good you looked and how badly I wanted to rip you clothes off and f**k you.”

I immediately got wet and started kissing him. I pulled his shirt off of him then he got up. We took our shoes off then he pulled my shirt off and undid my bra. He got back on top of me and started slowly going down my body. He took my pants off then my panties. He started giving me love bites then started playing with my c**t. I went to push his head down but he grabbed my hand.

“This is about you right now. So don’t touch, try to push my head away, anything. Just tilt your head back and let me please you.”

I bit my lip then I did what he said. He started eating me out and it felt so good. I was about to c*m so he stopped. I looked at him.

“Why’d you stop? I was about to cum.”

“I know mamas.”

He pulled his jeans off and I could see his print so I bit my lip.

“Tilt your head back.”

He went back eating me out and he fingered me while he sucked my c**t which made me squirm.

“No running mamas.”

He tilted my head down so I looked him in his eyes and he rolled his tongue inside of me which made me grab the sheets. I went to tilt my head back but he grabbed my chin and made me look in his eyes as he played with my c**t with his tongue. I came but he kept eating me out and making my legs shake uncontrollably. He pinned my legs down and kept going until he noticed that I was shaking a lot.

“How badly do you want me mamas?”

“I’m craving you daddy. I want you bad.”

He chuckled then started kissing my stomach and bare torso. He started giving me hickies on my neck then kissed me softly. He pulled his boxers off and slowly put it in. I wrapped my legs around his waist and pulled his face closer to mine. He started kissing me as he did slow thrusts which made me get loud.

“Faster.”

“You sure mamas?”

“Yes.”

He started going faster which made me get loud. I started scratching up his back and shoulders until he grabbed my hands and pinned them on either side of my body. He started going deeper and got a little more rough.

“Do you want back shots?”

“Hell yes.”

He chuckled then pulled out. I got into arch and he started giving me a booty rub. He put it in and started going a little fast. He pulled my arms behind my back and held them with one hand and used the other to slap my ass as he f****d me. I started getting loud and I came again as soon as he started doing that. 

He noticed that I came again so he slowed down.

“Did you just c*m again?”

“Y- Y- Ye- Yes.”

“Good.”

He sped back up and he let out a loud, deep moan. We went like this for a while before he came and pulled out. He laid down next to me completely out of breath and chuckled.

“What?”

“You just get better and better every time. It shocks me.”

I smiled.

“Well same because I cannot handle it.”

He chuckled.

“I’m going to start the water for you.”

“Thank you.”

He kissed my forehead then got up. I sat up and saw the mess that we had made.

“Holy hell.”

He walked back in and saw it.

“Oh damn. My bad baby.”

“It’s fine. I just wasn’t expecting it to be this messy.”

He chuckled.

“Well, I don’t think we are going to have too many problems making baby number two.”

My eyes got wide.

“I haven’t even had this baby yet and you’re already thinking about another? I’m seventeen!”

“And I’m twenty.”

I then realized that our relationship was illegal because I am a minor.

“Oh no.”
