Chapter 69 No Letting Go
BIG KAI
I moved the side of my index finger to her nose.
She is still breathing.
Somehow I felt relieved.
I took off the cuff on her legs and her hands, making her body limp in me.
I leaned down and picked her up bridal style.
She weighed like a leaf in my arms, so light and soft. I rested my eyes on her face, feeling my heart race.
I felt the need to caress her cheek.
Fucking crazy.
I walked towards the bed and placed her on it. I covered her with the duvet as I stared at her.
A part of her hair covered her face. I moved it away and gave in to the urge to caress her cheek.
Dried of tears.
Those tears don't move me.
But the need for her grows stronger.
I can't believe I almost lost her to the fucker today.
Even if she does marry him, I'm gonna take her ass anyway.
She is mine.
She got me fucked up.
I wanna be fucked up forever.
I ain't letting her go.
Never.
In a week, I am giving her what she wants.
A fucking wedding.
A fucking grand wedding.
She just has to be patient.
Patience, baby.
Patience.
NEXT DAY........
CLARISSA BOUTIQUE......
I stared at myself in the huge mirror dressed in a black shirt that hugged my muscular body, its first three buttons left open, showing off my chest and golden chain, and white trousers.
Perfect fit.
"You look good, Big Kai." Ms Clarissa, one of Bricktown's finest designers complimented with a bright smile.
She is a black queen in her early fifties but everyone said she lied to us about her age.
She thirty.
Cause when I say a black queen, shii our women don't age.
Forever Beautiful as fuck.
"Thank you, girl."
She chuckled. "Girl?"
I turned to her and shrugged.
"You can't deceive me with that age. As far as I know, you're my age" I said, making her laugh as I turned back to the mirror.
"You silly child, you left Bricktown but Bricktown didn't leave your ass."
I chuckled
"Now where's your pretty lady? Oh there she is," she said, making me turn around.
I saw my shawty with two female salespeople who are holding a lot of bags.
She is all dolled up in the exact outfit I asked for.
"There you go, Big Kai. Mini jean skirt, white off shoulder crop top, black heel boots, hair done, nails, and a little makeup."
My eyes followed Ms Clarissa's description of my shawty's body.
Her body is more than tea and I wanna do more than sipping right now. The skirt is out of this world, her legs in the boots, damn.
Tiny belly, the crop top that packages her tits, her flawless skin, gorgeous face, and hair.
She looked at me momentarily, rubbing her arm nervously.
Damn, this white girl is everything.
Fucking gorgeous.
The outfit is exactly how I imagined but sexier than I thought.
I never thought this skinny white thing would drive a nigga nuts someday.
Shiii, this nigga has lost it.
"That look confirmed my good works, doesn't it, Big Kai?" Ms Clarissa said.
"It sure did," I said, handing over my credit card to her without looking away from my shawty.
Ms Clarissa chuckled as she collected the card from me.
I took steps towards my shawty. Her heels barely raised her to meet my height.
She is staring everywhere but at me.
I took her hand where she has my ring and I kissed her knuckles.
That didn't attract my eyes.
I reached for her chin, turning her face to mine gently.
Her eyes locked with mine.
I rested my eyes on her gloss-filled lips.
They are fucking inviting.
Damn, I could eat her up right now.
"Your card, sir." Ms Clarissa said.
I took it from her and put it in my pocket without looking away from my shawty.
"You sure the stuff you got is enough for you? Aren't you gonna take more?" I asked.
She didn't respond but lowered her gaze.
"I believe they are more than enough, Big Kai. Your lady seems shy." Ms Clarissa said.
I chuckled, making my shawty flick her eyes at me.
"She ain't my lady," I said.
"Oh."
My shawty looked at me.
I smirked. "She ma fiancée,"
"Wow," Ms Clarissa squealed a bit. "Really?"
I looked at her. "I will send you an invite to our fucking wedding."
"Oh, that will be awesome. I can't wait."
"Yeah. Spread the news, girl. Big Kai is getting married in a week." I said, moving my gaze to my shawty.
She is looking between me and still rejoicing Ms Clarissa.
"Let's go," I said, taking her hand and heading for the doors.
"Have a nice day, Big Kai. You and your pretty queen." I heard Ms Clarissa sing as we headed out of the building with her salespersons following us with the bags.
I pressed my key button, making my car beep and the boot open. I took my shawty to the passenger seat and opened the door for her. She was about to enter the car but I squeezed her hand, stopping her as the girls put the bags in the boot.
My shawty looked at me.
"You want me to force a smile on your face?"
She didn't respond but stared at me.
I squeezed her wrist tight, making her react to the pain.
"Be a good girl, shawty. I fucking mean it." I released her hand and caressed her hair.
She lowered her gaze, massaging her wrist.
"You look stunning."
She kept massaging her wrist.
"Get in," I ordered.
She obeyed.
I closed the door, tipped the girls two huddles of them dollar bills, earning a happy thanks from them as I walked towards the driver's seat, got in the car, and drove us off.
KINCAID REAL ESTATE COMPANY......
With my dark glasses on, I took her hand and we headed towards my company's entrance doors. We walked into the building and I found a slightly busy place.
I didn't respond to greetings as I headed for the elevator.
We got in and it took us up.
I looked at her.
She is staring at the floor.
Which seems interesting to her.
Or is it her feet?
I didn't let go of her hand all through.
Why the fuck should I?
She's ma girl.
Ma doll.
Ma fiancee.
Mine.
My phone vibrated in my pocket, making me bring it out.
It was a text from Caleb.
He is asking after my whereabouts.
It is almost one pm, right?
Oh, past one.
Shit.
Well, CEOs are never on time, are they?
The doors beeped and opened.
We walked out and I led the way towards the left.
I found Caleb and two familiar people in my team standing close to the boardroom door.
I approached them as I stared at Caleb whose back was facing me.
He is operating his phone.
Maybe trying to call me.
I was about to call him but the boardroom door opened, revealing Imani dressed in a red dress.
"Caleb....Kai," she called, making everyone look my way.
"Sir," Caleb called, looking relieved.
I didn't let go of my fiancée's hand as I stared at them.
Imani is stunned to see me.
Actually, she is staring at my fiancée right now.
I moved my eyes to Caleb.
"Are they here?" I asked.
"Yes sir. They refused to start without you." He said.
I rolled my eyes, moving them to Imani who is still staring at my fiancée.
Now, her eyes are on our hands.
"Imani, what happened to you organizing the damn meeting? Aren't you supposed to be my second in this fucking business?"
She looked at me. "Well, sometimes the CEO is needed more than anything, don't you think, Kai?"
I averted my eyes from her and moved them to the other two in my team.
"Let's get this thing over with then," I said.
They nodded.
"Caleb," I called, looking at my shawty. "Take my fiancée to the garden where she loves best,"
"Fiancee?" Imani asked, making me look at her.
She is staring at me with furrowed brows.
"I didn't stutter, Imani," I said, moving my eyes to my shawty.
I held her chin, making her look at me.
"Them lilies are there. They are all yours. Have fun. I'll come get you when I am done. Caleb," I called.
"Yes, sir. This way, ma'am." He said to her as I took steps towards the boardroom door.
I sensed Imani standing there, staying with Caleb and my shawty walking away.
"Imani,"
She looked at me.
"Come on. What you standing there for?" I asked, walking into the room
AN HOUR LATER......
I moved my gaze to the huge windows for the umpteenth time, staring at my shawty as she explored the garden.
It's been an hour since the boring meeting started and Joe, my team leader has been explaining things on the fucking projector.
I knew the meeting was going to be boring.
I didn't think it was going to be more boring than I fucking thought.
Actually, it is the second meeting with the damn team. Most of the guests have left already.
The meeting took only forty-five minutes. The deal was signed and sealed
Now this boring one but with one of the guests still present.
But my shawty is helping a lot. And she doesn't even know it.
I moved my swivel chair as I watched her reach for a lily, finally taking out one. She has been preventing herself from taking out any.
I wonder why.
I specifically told her they are hers.
I watched as she sniffed the lily, expecting her to put it in her hair.
That's gonna be.....
A touch on my hand took my attention and I locked eyes with Imani who is seated next to me.
She leaned closer. "Can you focus on the meeting and stop looking at the window?"
"I can't. The meeting boring." I said, attracting the guest's attention.
I gave him a tiny smile.
The moron smiled as well and faced the projector.
I rolled my eyes as Imani leaned closer again.
"That white bimbo. Why did you call her your fiancée? Are you fucking serious?" she whispered.
I didn't respond but stared at her.
"I thought her ass was gone. How come she is with you?"
I leaned closer to her.
"Imani,"
"What? Answer me," she whispered.
"Call her a white bimbo one more time and you gonna lose your position as my fucking second in this damn hole."
Her face twitched.
I relaxed in my seat as she frowned. I averted my eyes and moved them to the window.
My shawty had the lily in her hair as I expected.
I couldn't help my tiny one-sided smile.
I turned my head to the other side and gave Caleb, who is standing close to the door a head sign.
He walked towards me and leaned close.
"Go get her."
He nodded and headed out.
I moved my eyes to Joe who was still explaining things. I felt Imani's eyes on me but she is the least of my problems right now.
Not long later, the door opened and she walked in with Caleb behind her.
The lily was in her hand not on her hair and her gaze was on the floor as always.
I couldn't help but stare at her again from head to toe like it's the first time I am fucking seeing her.
Like I didn't take her to the damn boutique.
She is a fucking turn on.
I want her right now.
I looked around the full table.
All are my staff except the single guest.
Hmm.
Fuck it. They have signed the damn deal anyway.
"Everybody out!"
All eyes fell on me.
