Chapter 25: Till I Stop Breathing

“Nyla! Baby, please listen to me! I don’t know what the fuck she’s talking about! Baby! Please, just stop for a second and listen to me!” Kari yelled after her.

“Fuck man! If I lose my family behind this stalker messy shit, I’m killin’’ everybody!” He said to himself.

Nyla tried to close the bedroom door before Kari could follow behind her, but it was no use since she still had Amiyah in her arms.

“She just sucked you off, right? That’s the story you’re sticking to? Huh! I have you every opportunity to tell me the truth. EVERY OPPORTUNITY! How could you do this to me? To us!” Nyla snapped at him with tears in her eyes.

She didn’t want to hear anything he had to say and just needed some space. She was so confused as to what to do. From Kim showing up at the baby shower to catching him and her in his office kissing and now this. Nyla didn’t know what to do.

“I need to get outta here! I can’t even look at you right now!” She tells him as she heads to their closet.

Kari walked in after her.

“Where you think you going with my daughter? You not going anywhere with her so chill that shit out! I get that your mad but I did tell you the truth! I don’t know what the fuck that girl is talking about! Ny baby, you gotta believe me! I’ve haven’t slept with another person since we been together, I put that on Amiyah!” He pleads as he watched his fiancé throw clothes into a suitcase.

Nyla stopped what she was doing when she heard him say their daughter’s name. She turned around and looked at him as tears fell down her cheeks one after another.

“Baby, I swear to you I didn’t sleep with that girl!” He tells her as he wiped her tears away. “I don’t know what the fuck is going on, but I’m gonna find out. Stay here, okay. I’ll go chill at Mila’s to give you a minute. I don’t want you out here with Miy. You mad and I get that..I would be too so I’ll give you some space. Just promise me that you won’t leave?” Kari asked.

“I promise I won’t leave and not tell you where I am.” She answered.

Kari just stared at her for a moment before he pulled her clothes out of the suitcase and walked over to where Nyla was sitting on the bed. She was still crying silently when he sat down next to her. He took Amiyah out of Ny’s arms and held her close to his chest.

“Why is this happening to us?” She asked.

“I dunno, baby. Just gimme a few, okay. I’m gonna get to the bottom of it. I promise you!” He said as he kissed her on the side of her head before doing the same to Amiyah.

He gave her back to Nyla and stood up so he could walk out of the room. Nyla just sat and cried. She didn’t know what to do. Should she stay or leave? Give up or fight for her family? Whatever she decided to do, she needed to have a clear head and with Kari being gone, she would have time to do just that.

——————-

Kari drove to his sister’s condo. He was still thrown off by what had happened earlier. He had a feeling he knew who was behind all of the drama but he didn’t have any solid evidence at this point, an only mere coincidence. He knew if anyone could help him get to the bottom of what was going on.

When he got to Mila’s door, he used his key to open it walked in. His sister had her stereo on so he yelled out to her that he was there since she was upstairs.

“Hey. What you doing here? You should be home with my baby!” Mila said as she walked over to hug her younger brother.

Kari gave her a look that she knew all too well.

“What happened now?” Mila asked.

Kari looked at her and shook his head as he sat down on the couch.

“Sis, I’m about to catch a case! Someone is fuckin’ with me and Ny..like they trying to break us up!” He said as he put his head in his hands. “I fucked up a while ago when I went out with the homies and ended up gettin’ head from this chic from the club..”

Mila hits Kari upside the head. “What the fuck is wrong with you! You trying to ruin your relationship? Nyla didn’t deserve that and you know it!” Mila told him.

“I know she didn’t and I confessed and told her the truth but now the same chic just popped up at the house talkin’ about she pregnant with my kid and that’s a Gotdamn lie!” He said.

“Just popped up out of the blue? That doesn’t make any sense! Where did you meet her?” Mila asked.

“At this club downtown months ago!” He answered.

Mila looked straight ahead. “You mean the chic in the pictures that were on Instagram?” Mila asked.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah! That chic! I ain’t never slept with this woman in my life!” Kari tells her.

Mila grabs her phone from the coffee table and pulls up her Liked list to find the photo. “This the chic you talking about?”

Kari looks at the photo and nods his head. “Fuck yeah that’s her ass! I don’t know what the fuck she on but she ‘bout to get fucked up!”

“That’s Sinnea..I just saw her like a week ago at Max’s drunk off her ass with Kim! Her and Kim are like best friends! She damn sure as hell ain’t pregnant! You sure it was her?” Mila asked again.

“YES! That was her! She showed up at my fuckin’ house today on some bullshit!” Kari snapped.

“Lil’ bro, go home and be with Nyla and Amiyah...I’ll handle this! Kim is behind this shit and she about to see me!” Mila said.

“Nah, sis! I got this!” Kari said as he stood up to leave.

He was going to handle his ex if it was the last thing he did!

——————-

When Kari pulled into the driveway, he sat for a moment and said a small prayer that Nyla was still in the house. He didn’t see her Levante in her spot which meant she could have left or pulled it into the garage. He was a nervous wreck. As he took a deep breath, he got out of the car and headed to the front door. As soon as he got close, he smelled the familiar smell of food being cooked and he smiled. He knew his fiancé was still home and hasn’t left.

“Nyla? Baby, where you at?” He called out but didn’t get an answer.

He walked through the house towards the kitchen and saw her standing outside on their deck with the grill open. “Baby, c’mere so I can talk to you.”

“I already know. I just hung up with Mila. I just want you to know, when I see her it’s in sight! The nerve of this psycho bitch to think this is cool! I should have known something was up when she popped up in the bathroom at our baby shower!” Nyla said.

Kari looked at her with a twisted face. “What you mean popped up at the baby shower? You never told me she was there! What happened?” He asked getting angry.

“I was going to tell you but when I got outside, she wasn’t there. By the time we left, my mind really was on other things. I didn’t think anything more of it until I saw her in your office. I’m still pissed about that kiss! Now with her so-called best friend trying to pull a stunt, I’m going to beat her ass!” Nyla said as she walked back into the house to check on Amiyah.

Kari grabbed her and pulled her into him. “No! I don’t need you out here getting into any shit. You just had our daughter and you’re still healing from major surgery. I got this. You just  be here and take care of Miy.” Kari told her.

“No way am I not going to be involved with checking this crazy woman!” She told him.

Kari kissed Nyla’s forehead. “Alright, fine. You can help me check her but if shit starts going left, you sitting your ass down!” he told her.

Nyla asked Kari to go check the steaks that she had just put on the grill for their dinner. She went to check on Amiyah and to grab her baby monitor to bring into the kitchen as she plated their food. She knew in her heart that Kari would never do anything to hurt her and when Mila called her, that confirmed it. She loved her man and with all of the extra drama starting to surround them because of a jealous ex, she wanted to marry him now more than ever. When Kari came back inside with the steaks on the platter, she grabbed the platter out of his hands and leaned up to kiss him.

Shocked, Kari looked down at Nyla. “You good, babe”?” He asked.

“I’m good...but I’m over the stupid drama. I want to get married now! What are we waiting for?” Nyla asked.

“Babe, you know your dad would kill me if he didn’t get to walk you down the isle. We got a planner and everything will happen like we want it to.” He said as he down at the table.

Nyla had brought over the cooked sides and started plating their food before sitting down to join her fiance’.

“What if we just went down to the courthouse? We could get married now and still have a wedding later. No one will know but us and this is what I really want. I want a wedding and all but I want to be married to you more.” Nyla said as Kari smiled.

“You really wanna be married to me?” Kari asked with a smile.

“Yes, I do! I want to spend the rest of my life with you and I don’t care who likes it!” She said.

“Okay! We will go down to the courthouse tomorrow morning and we will get our marriage license done and then go get married when we’re finished. That work for you?” Kari asked her as he dimpled.

Nyla got up from her seat and walked over to where Kari was and sat on his lap. “Yes, that works for me! I love you.” She said as she kissed his lips.

��I love you, too! We got this! I promise I will never let anything happen to you or us as long as I live.” Kari told her as looked into her eyes.

He was so in love with this woman, he couldn't see himself ever living without her. He would put his life on the line before he let anyone come between their love and he was ready for whatever was headed their way. Nyla and Amiyah’s protection and happiness were his motivation to succeed and be better than he was the day before and he was not going to let anyone or anything come in between what they had.
