Chapter 102: Go to sleep baby

BIG KAI

MINUTES EARLIER

The familiar sound of my ringtone pierced slightly into my ears, making me open my eyes.

The ceiling greeted my eyes as I felt the weight of my fever lessening but my taste buds were a bit sour.

I felt a weight on my chest and belly, making me lower my gaze.

A feminine hand on my body. I turned my head to the left and I saw dark hair.

What the...

Sharp dizziness struck me, making me close my eyes and rub my forehead.

"Fuck."

My phone rang again.

I reached for it lazily on the nightstand and took the call without looking at the dialer.

"Who the fuck is this?" I barely whispered.

"OG," Reeko's familiar voice came through.

"Reeko," I breathed, still feeling dizzy as I closed my eyes.

"It's them Marcel boys."

I opened my eyes.

"What?"

"They entered the hood a few minutes ago. Destroyed another mall and some properties in the hood as well."

I gritted my teeth as I rose and put my legs down, earning a addition to my dizziness and a movement on the bed too.

"We caught quite a number of 'em but you know how relentless them Marcel's boys are," he said as I rested my eyes on the IV catheter inserted in my wrist and connected to the empty IV drip.

"Some ran to the abandoned underground car park at Winfield and you know today begins the hood's racing season." he reminded me.

Fucking morons.

"I don't mean to disturb, OG, but only you can set them niggas straight. Marcel been trippin' lately."

"Where the fuck are you?" I asked.

"At the club. Still handling the motherfuckers we caught."

"Send the boys to the fucking park."

"I already did that."

"Good," I took off the IV catheter. "I'm on my way."

"OG."

I hung up, getting on my feet.

"On your way?" Brenda's familiar voice took my attention.

She is sitting up and looking at me with furrowed brows.

What the fuck is she doing here?

"Where are you going to be at this time? And you are not supposed to be standing right now. You are unwell." she said, sounding concerned.

"Why you....." My phone beeped, taking my attention. A picture of Marcel's boys appeared on my screen. They looked battered and lifeless.

They better be fucking lifeless.

I headed towards my walk-in closet.

"Kai," I heard Brenda call as I walked into my walk-in closet.

I put my phone in my pocket as I grabbed my black tank top and threw it on.

I grabbed my black leather jacket and headed out.

Brenda is standing close to my bed, staring at me.

"Kai," she called as I took notice of what she was wearing.

The fuck?

"Are you really going out?" she asked.

"Is that my fucking shirt?"

She looked at her body and then at me.

"That's my shirt, girl."

She shrugged. "It smelled so nice. I couldn't help but put it on."

"Excuse me?"

"Look, you can't go out, Kai. It is late and you are still recovering."

"The fuck you mean it smelled so nice?"

"Kai.... "

"And why you even in my fucking room? What the.... You know what, I don't have time for this right now." I walked towards my nightstand and took out my gun and car keys.

I put the gun in the back band and headed for the door.

"Kai, wait, "

I was about to reach for the doorknob when she hurried and stood between me and the door, closing it in the process.

Was the door open?

I rested my eyes on Brenda.

She looked up at me.

"What's this?"

"I can't let you go anywhere. Not like this. You are still unwell. Your eyes look weak right now."

I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples as I felt dizzy again.

"See?"

"Brenda, I need to..... "

"No, Kai. Go back to bed." She ordered.

"Just step aside, Brenda," I muttered, reaching for the door.

She attempted to block me. "Why are you stubborn, Kai? Get back to..... "

"Get the fuck outta ma fucking way," I snarled.

Her face twitched.

I scowled at her.

She moved aside slowly.

I grabbed the doorknob and opened the door.

I didn't move but returned my eyes to her.

She is staring at me.

"Take ma fucking shirt off and go to your fucking room. Don't try this shit again. You feel me?"

She kept staring at me.

I averted my eyes from her and walked out of the room.

I wonder what the fuck got into her head.

Wearing my damn shirt and sleeping next to me in my fucking room?

I don't know what the fuck is going on but I have something much more important to do right now.

I will deal with her later.

Fuck, my head.

I shook my head while walking along the hallway.

I put on my jacket as I got to the stairs. I descended then and was about heading towards the entrance when a sound from the kitchen stopped me in my tracks.

I fixed my jacket while staring at the kitchen.

I walked towards it and I found a familiar person dressed in black pajamas, long blonde hair, standing at the end of the kitchen and reaching for something in the top shelf.

I smiled as I felt my heart light up.

Shawty.

Now, this what a nigga wanna see.

My legs moved before I could give the order, walking quietly towards her.

She's busy with whatever she's doing to notice me, huh?

I got closer to her and wrapped my hands around her tiny waist.

She jumped and turned around.

I chuckled as she stared at me with surprise.

"Sup, shawty?"

"Big Kai,"

Fuck, I love it when she says my name.

"What are you......are you supposed to be..."

"The stutter sounds like fucking music, baby." I retorted, smirking.

She stared at me nervously.

My eyes moved further to her pajamas. It's my first time seeing her in those.

"You look fucking sexy despite being covered up in pajamas," I said, reaching to caress her face but she moved away instantly, making me furrow my brows.

"Don't touch me, please." She said, looking everywhere but me as she folded her hands and let out a sigh.

"What's wrong?"

No response.

I walked towards her and grabbed her arm gently.

"Shawty...."

She moved her hand out of my hold.

Gently but it felt cold.

The fuck did I do?

I stared at her as she kept staring away.

"Tell me what is....." I trailed the minute my dizziness picked up.

"Tell me what is wrong, shawty."

"Nothing. Just go to your room and to your girlfriend and...."

I furrowed my brows.

"And leave me alone." she completed.

"What the heck are you talk....." I paused, feeling my head banging.

If I talk too much, it might get worse.

"You know what, shawty. Just go to sleep. I will see you later." I said, placing a kiss on her hair, and headed out.

I walked towards the entrance and then out of the house.

I pressed my key button as I descended the stairs. The car parked in front of the stairs beeped instantly.

Glad I don't have to walk all the way to the parking lot.

Caleb will still need to explain to me why the car is here and not in the parking lot at this fucking time.

I walked towards the driver's seat, opened the door, and entered.

I started the car but noticed a movement from the corner of my eyes.

I looked in the direction.

Shawty was descending the stairs worriedly.

Damn, girl.

I thought I told you to go to sleep.

"Big Kai," she called as she got closer.

I pressed a button and the passenger seat window lowered.

"Sup, shawty?"

She leaned on the window.

"What are you doing? Where are you going?" she asked worriedly.

I can't find that malicious look anymore.

Interesting.

"I need to take care of sumthin' real quick. I'll be back soon."

"What?"

"I said I need to....

"But you are sick. You can't go anywhere. You haven't recovered yet. Look, your eyes look like they are dropping. What is wrong with you?"

Damn.

I rubbed my temples slightly. "Forget about my eyes, Shawty. Please go to your room. Go have some sleep. Daddy will be back soon, okay?" I winked.

She scoffed.

"I gotta go, baby, really."

"Go where?"

I heaved a sigh. "I will be right back okay? Go inside."

The next thing she did took me out.

She opened the door and got into the car.

"What the...."

She threw me a bold look.

I raised my brows in absolute surprise.

"It is either we go in together and you go back to bed or I will go with you to wherever you are going. Make a choice, Big Kai."

Damn.

Now I am turned on.
