Chapter Fourteen

" How you feeling ? Do you need anything? " Osari asked Zakeyah as she went into the room to check on her . She'd been at the abortion clinic for hours and she just made it back a few minutes ago .

Kendell was in the front with the kids giving Zakeyah some time to herself to sleep off the medication they gave her and also because he was feeling some type of way about the abortion .

The baby did have a heartbeat at the consultation but Beretta gave him and pro and cons list on aborting the baby and the cons list was longer than the pros so he agreed that now wasn't the best time to bring a baby into the world .

" I'm okay ... i'm just about to go to sleep . They gave me some narcotics so i'm tired " Zakeyah said .

" Ok i'll leave you to rest but are you okay mentally ? " Osari questioned.

" I know it was the right choice not only for me but for the baby . It's a lot going on right now and when I have another baby I wanna be living good so he/she doesn't have to struggle with me like my first two "  She said.

" Love you " Osari told her .

" Did Osari Williams just use emotions ? I must be imaging this I thought love was weakness " Zakeyah said sarcastically.

" I never told Tory I loved him . Or allow myself to really love him because of that stupid love is weakness mentality I had so im
not that Osari that doesn't express emotions anymore " She said .

" Good " Zakeyah said .

" But have a good sleep . Call me or Kendell if you need anything . I'll be cooking some dinner for later " She said as she exited the room bumping into Kendell .

" How is she ? " Kendell asked .

" Good she says the medicine has her tired so she's going to nap " Osari said and he nodded . She noticed he looked sad and decided to put her ill feelings for him to the side .

" How are you ? I mean it was your baby too " She asked .

" I'm a little upset but I understand her logic. I hurt her and she doesn't think she can depend on me and I made it like that . Also we don't need to have another baby right now. Shit is about to be real ugly and we have to worry about keeping the ones we have safe and away from everything " He said.

" Do you really trust Ohaji ? " She asked him .

" I trust him more than Mike . He's the lesser of the two evils so if I have to chose between him and Mike I chose him " Kendell said .

" What if you didn't have to chose ? " Osari asked .

" What do you mean ? " He asked .

" Let's say fuck him and Mike and do our own thing " Osari whispered .

" We can't do that Osari . We have no connects , no niggas to work for us . You have a whole ass hit on your head and shit I might have one next when Mike figures out i've been playing him for Ohaji " He said .

" We can . I read a book like this . the girl daddy was a big time kingpin and these dudes who was working for his rival kidnapped her and they teamed up together and took them out and ran the best drug organization for years " She said and Kendell stared at her wondering if she was serious .

" This ain't no fucking book Osari . You need to sit your ass down you already have a fucking hit on your head " He stressed .

" Just hear me out atleast " She said .

" Aiight , i'm listening " He said knowing he still wasn't going to go for it.

" I'll tell you later " Osari said as Oryan walked by . " Stay up late and meet me in yard " She said before she walked into the front of the house.
