DESIRED (BWWM)

Call From Xavier

Elijah

I walk away from the burning building with a smile on my face and whistles leaving my mouth.

My day started off with my head between my girls thighs and ended with me blowing shit up. I couldn't be more happier.

And to top it all off, my divorce papers are being sent in the next month. The only thing bringing a frown to my face is the knowledge that she'll be going to school tomorrow.

I suck my teeth, taking my phone out and sending a text to Nick, letting him know that I handled the André problem. And by handled I mean blowing up his house while he slept in his bed.

Good riddance anyway. André was snitching to the cops about things he wasn't supposed to. I only found out because of the connection I have with a dirty cop.

Pay anyone enough and mouths start running like water. Besides he beats his woman and anyone who lays their hands on a woman deserves to be dead. I already sent his lady a couple hundred thousand dollars and she didn't even bat an eye when I told her André was a dead man walking.

I put my phone back in my pocket and get in my car. Ricky texted me a lead on who Theo and Kai was working for and even though its not solid information I still want to check it out.

Shit still make my blood boil.

I wanted to shut this pussy ass organisation down real quick. Theo laid his hands on Renée and the people he worked for are going to die slowly and painfully.

It's as simple as that.

***

I get home later than I plan, finding the lights off as I walk inside. I go to my room and take a quick shower before going to Renée's.

She has one hand across her eyes and her plump lips are slightly parted as she sleeps. My eyes travel across her body and I groan when I see she only wore a shirt to bed.

Five more days.

I mentally Remind myself before joining her on the bed. I pull her closer to me, kissing her lips and smiling when she buries her face in my chest.

She mumbles the word 'Cotton candy' and I laugh wondering what the hell she's dreaming. My phone ringing startles me and I press the answer button before leaving the room, not wanting to wake her up.

"This better be real fücking good," I say to whoever's stupid enough to call me this late at night.

"Elijah"
"Fück," I say smiling as I recognize the voice.

"Xavier what the hell man. You disappeared off the face of the fücking earth," I say to one of my best friends.

"That's funny Eli, anyway I'm back for good now. Got anything you need me to do?"
"What military didn't straighten you out?" I tease and he sighs.

"I need my mind off some shit man, and we both know I ain't went to no fücking military. I needed a break after Sara died but I'm back now,"

"Yeah man I'm glad you're back. You call Nick?" I question, remembering the Sara tragedy all to clearly.

Long story short; Sara died when Nick was supposed to be protecting her and they fought before Xavier disappeared under the pretence off enrolling in the military.

"Yeah we're good," he says and I raise my eyebrows. "You sure? I don't need you starting shit"

"I said we're good. I don't want to blow his fücking brains out anymore, that's something right?"

"Yeah that's something," I reply laughing at his idea of 'we're good'.

"So got anything for me?" He repeats his question and I shake my head, going to the kitchen and pouring myself a glass of water.

"Nah man, not at the moment but I'll call you real soon"

"Thanks Eli," he says ending the call. I stand in the staring at my phone, still not believing that this fücker actually returned to the land of the living.
Losing Sara messed him up.

Him and Nick both.

And although I'll never admit it, I missed my friend and I know Nick did too.

I return to Renée's room only to find her sitting up and running her eyes.
"Hey," I say going over to her and wrapping her up in my arms.

"Your loud ass talking woke me up," she says kissing my chest with a smile on her lips.
"I'm sorry baby, go back to sleep"

"I have to get up early for school," she reminds me and I mentally curse.
"I know I'm dropping you off," I say pulling the duvet higher over the both of us.

"You don't have to do that," she says as her eyes close and she forces them back open, she's fighting her sleep and it's fucking adorable.

"I said I'm dropping you off. Now go back to sleep Mia Vita," I order and she finally listens to me, her eyelashes kissing her cheeks as she closes her eyes. I look down, smiling at the girl I'm slowly beginning to love.

Well fück.
