About that Night

Chapter 15

I smile and turn around. “Grayson!”

Because of what the Benjamin family did and Rosa’s testimony, not to mention Grayson’s proof, the judge didn’t take a second to listen to them. Zac got four years in state prison, another twenty years for first-degree kidnapping and he'll be eligible for parole after five years. A fine of 5,000 dollars and the rest of the family got twenty years for first-degree kidnapping and another year for harassment. I was ecstatic, I got to rest, and Grayson did too. All we need to do is talk to my mom. 

“How do you feel?” I smile, asking Grayson and Rosa. Rosa shrugs and gets in the car.

“I feel like going for another round at home.” I open-mouth stare at Grayson as he smirks and puts Micah in his car seat.

“Gray-,”

“Chae Young!” My mom comes running towards me and hugs me. 

“Nado dangsin-eul ilh-eumyeon eotteohge hal ji moleugess-eoyo,” (I don’t know what I’ll do if I lost you too). I hugged my mother back. 

This is the first time since, of course, dad died. Talon and Zaro walk out of the courtroom, and again she rushes to them and hugs them. 

“O mai, nae aideul!” (Oh my, my children!)

She cries as Grayson comes over to me. “What happened?”

I shrug and smile. “She’s showing her feelings.” 

Grayson smiles at me. “I bet you’re happy.” 

“Very, I think my older brothers are here. Why don’t you go back home and spend time with the kids?” 

Grayson shakes his head. “Hell no, take Micah with you. I’ve spent enough time with him.” 

Grayson takes Micah out and hands him to me as I laugh hysterically.

“Thank you.” 

I gave him a peck on his lips and walked away before he could ask me why. I don’t know the answer. He makes me happy, and that’s something to be thankful for.

I love him.  

*Some random restaurant*

“How are things going with Grayson?” Oliver says, playing with Micah as Benjamin makes coco faces. 

I raise an eyebrow. “If you guys love kids so much, why don’t y’all try for more?”

I joke as Talon, Zaro, and Nessira snicker. Benjamin and Oliver look up at me with the iconic “f**k you.” face, and I laugh. 

“Boy, have I missed that face.” Talon smirks, and fist bumps Zaro. 

Mom smiles at all of us. “I’m sorry.” She whispers, catching all of our attention. 

“What did you say?!” Benjamin asks. 

“I thought she said sorry for a minute.” Zaro chuckles.

“BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT I SAID, i***t!” 

Zaro sinks back into his chair as mom sighs. “I’m sorry, I wasn't a good mother when your father died.”

I shake my head. “We know-.”

“No.” She cuts me off. “You shouldn’t have to adapt to me. I am the mother, and I should have forced myself out of it. But I just can’t help but think every time I love someone, they get hurt or die, and he wouldn’t have-,” Her voice breaks as we all stare astonished at her.

“Your father wouldn’t have died if I hadn't done anything to Ji-Wo.” 

She inhales as Benjamin hugs her. “We’re still here, aren’t we?” He smiles. 

“Besides, it was amusing to get in trouble and see your reaction.” Oliver adds as we all laugh.

“You and Mr. Joon took me in, and because of that, I could never be mad.” Nessira smiles and holds onto my mom’s hands. 

“Yea, you would always be so happy to see and give me, um,” Zaro hesitantly smiles. 

“Nice haircuts.” 

Talon and I snicker and shake our heads.

“We still love you, most sociopaths kill people, and we would have been the first on your list.” Talon shrugs, and I raise an eyebrow.

“Not all sociopaths.” 

“Most.” 

We eat and talk and get drunk, and I have to call Grayson to get Micah so I can stay a couple more hours.

*Apartment*

When I get to the apartment, Grayson helps me in.

“I am watching you, Grayson.” I say cautiously.

He laughs, flashing his pearly whites. “Why?” 

“Because last time I was drunk, you f****d me.”

Grayson raises an eyebrow. “At your consent, you told me to f**k you.” 

I squirm away from him. “And you listened?! Aren’t you supposed to be older than me?!” 

Grayson furrows his brows. “Aren’t you supposed to be younger than me? Letting older men f**k you, what's wrong with you?”

I open my mouth speechless as Grayson laughs at me. Grayson lifts me up and takes me to the bedroom. 

“Since you think I’m going to do something, I’ll wait for you to take your clothes off outside.” Grayson scoffs and closes the door behind him. 

Me being the stupid person I am, I open the door and pull Grayson back in.

“I changed my mind. Help me change.”

Grayson chuckles. “No, you know what that will lead to.” 

I shake my head. “I don’t. Why don’t you show me?”

Grayson sighs. “You are so dirty for a 23-year-old.”

I scoff loudly. “You got married at 18 and had a child the same year!” I laugh. 

“Via surrogate, we didn’t have s*x for it to happen.” 

I purse my lips. “Grayson, you know married couples be doing the do. You know you were not celibate at 23.”

“Speaking of which, you were still a minor.”

I shrug. “AND SO? What does that have to do with me wanting you?!” Grayson smiles. He’s playing with me, and he knows what I want, and he’s doing everything in his power to keep his d**k from ravishing me. 

“Go to sleep.”

I shake my head. “Grayson, you know what I want, and the kids are asleep.” 

“Yea, no, not trying for another kid until Micah’s old enough to take a shower himself.” 

I furrow my brows. “I’m not having babies eight years apart.” 

Grayson shrugs. “Cry about it.”

I scoff. “You cry about it, Grayson!”

I grind against him to find out he’s already hard. 

“I knew it, you sneaky bastard, f**k me!” 

Grayson groans. “You-, never mind. I’m not even going to stop now.” 

He grabs my legs and pulls me closer for a quickie.

Pounding me, hard, quick, and deep, I c*m in minutes. But Grayson’s not done, and I orgasm four times more. Then he cums finally, and it comes in like a jet. All the excitement rushes through me.

I know tomorrow, once I remember this, I’ll slap myself for letting him c*m inside me when we have a seven-month-old, not even a year old. Ugh.

*Five months later*

Today is Micah’s first birthday. I’m excited, and since we just had Christmas, we’re planning to go to Universal Studios Jurassic Park. Micah adores dinosaurs, which is weird, but whatever he wants, he’s the youngest and my only biological child.

“What are we doing for Micah today?” 

Grayson asks me, stroking my hair. 

“Grayson, I thought you wanted us to go to Jurassic Park.”

“I do, but it doesn’t mean we can’t get him a birthday cake.”

I pick up my head and look at him. “Micah hates cake. Is Rosa putting you up to this? I already got her some cake for Micah’s birthday.” 

Grayson snorts. “No, it’s just, I wanted some too.” I laugh. “Plus, you forget that Micah eats anything that’s chocolate or marshmallow.” 

I smile as I remember my pregnant days. “Fine. I just wanted to lay on you all day, but then I remember the kids.” 

I groan and get up. 

“That’s not my fault-.” 

“You better stop while you can, Grayson.” 

Grayson chuckles. “I was playing.” I glance back at him.

I’m happy. He’s happy. Micah and Rosa treasure each other, and they’re definitely pleased as well. What I did to get here, I’m not glad, but I’m here, and I’m happy. I have my mom, sister, brothers, and Nessira. And I’m engaged with a surprise; I rub my stomach secretly.

I smile at Grayson as I throw Rosa a sandwich. 

“Are you ready?” I take Micah from Grayson and hugged/choke Rosa.

“Ok, ok, I get it. You’re excited.” Rosa gasps for air as I laugh. 

“I actually feel like going to Red Lobster.”

Grayson narrows his eyes at me as I smile sheepishly.  

“You-, let me keep quiet.”

I laugh as Grayson starts the car.

*Nessira*

I look at my pregnancy test. ‘Positive,’ it reads. 

“Oh shit.” 

Zaro comes into the bathroom. “Girl, I heard your ‘oh s**t’ from the other side of the apartment.” 

Zaro takes a look at what was in my hands. “Oh shit.” 

I look at him with teary eyes. I didn’t want to lose another baby; I couldn’t, wouldn’t be able to handle that.

Zaro hugs me. “You’re twenty-one, you’re a strong woman, and you’re beautiful. Nothing’s going to happen.” 

I look up at him, tears streaming down my face. I laugh. “s**t’s bound to happen. Winston just told me she’s pregnant again.” 

Zaro stands, leaning on one leg, and covers his mouth. “You guys are pregnant at the same time?!” 

I laugh. “Zaro, stop acting so dumb. Why are you standing like that?!”  

“I’m tryna make my baby laugh. Plus, we’re about to graduate and get our degrees, and we’ll be able to take care of this baby.” 

I smile as he kisses me. “Nessira, stop smiling and let me kiss you.” 

I snort before kissing him back. 

*Talon*

I walk into the room where Ken was working out. 

“Hey, babe.” I smile, holding a pregnancy test behind my back. He looks at me and smiles. 

“Since when did you call me babe?” I walk up to him, straddling him. 

“Since I found out, Dori will be a big brother.” Ken furrows his brows before catching on. 

He laughs. “I don’t know what to say. I’m happy. I hope it’s a girl this time.”

I stroke his face. “I’m so glad I’m with you. I love you.”

Ken waves me off. “It’s nothing. You know what I mean.”

I cross my arms and get off him. “I was planning to do a little something, but you wanna act like this-,” 

“Babe, I was just playing.” He says as he turns me around, hugging me from the back. He takes the pregnancy test and puts it on a treadmill. 

“Let’s have a little fun before it’s too late.” 

I moan softly. “I might like that.” I turn around to face him. “You know, Winston’s pregnant too, and so is Nessira.”

Ken chuckles. “Triplets from different mothers.” 

I giggle as he turns me around yet again, this time pressing me against the wall.
