Chapter 13*~

 

            “I win!”

 

            “You win?” I looked at her with a smile and stared at the paper. “How could you have won Sky?”

 

            “I got you this way uncle Justin.” Skylar smiled and pointed at the paper.

 

            “So you did, wow you’re good at this, I didn’t even see that.” I smiled and heard voices from the other room and looked up as the door opened.

 

            “Ready Sky?” Adriana asked as she peeked her head into the room and smiled softly. “Thanks Jay.”

 

            “No problem, any time she was a complete angel as always.”  I smiled and looked over at Adriana. “So has my wife finally decided to step away from the computer for awhile?”

 

            “Yeah right.” Adriana laughed and sighed.  “But if it makes you feel any better at all, she did move from the kitchen to the living room.”

 

            “Sounds like Lili.” I sighed and stood up, stretching. “Well you two be careful on the way home alright?”

 

            “We will, see you later Jay.”

 

            I smiled and watched as they left. I shrugged and headed into the living room where Aaliyah was sitting cross-legged on the couch typing her little heart out. I sat down next to her and glanced up at her face that never flinched for the fifteen minuets I stared at her. “Are you ok?”

 

            “I’m just peachy.” That should have been my warning right there that some shit was going to break out later but I decided to just ignore it and walk away from it. Little did I know that it would end up leading to one of the ugliest fights we have ever been in, in our entire life.

 

~*6:21 p.m.*~

 

            When I walked into the house and it was dark, that’s when I knew something was wrong. I knew Aaliyah was home, her car was out front as usual but I had this eerie feeling that told me to stay away from the house. Yet me being me I ignored every freaking feeling I had and just turned around and went in the house, hoping that my gut feeling was wrong for once. I turned on the lights in the kitchen and that’s when I met eyes with her. First off she scared the shit out of me. It was so dark and when I turned on the lights all I could see were her shining green eyes, staring me straight in the face. “Li...what’s going on?” I tired to stay as calm as I could because I knew that look on her face. That was the face that she had the day she pulled that gun on Matt.

 

            “I got a phone call earlier.” She pushed me against the wall and kissed my neck. “Do you know who it was?”

 

            “No...” I squeaked and could feel myself shaking. You can call me a wuss all you want but Li is definitely one crazy bitch.

 

            “Are you sure?”

 

            I nodded timidly and closed my eyes, praying to myself in my head as I heard the knife next to my ear in the wall as she traced my outline softly with it. Now I was really scared shitless.

 

            “Well anyway it was Beyonce, and you want to know what she told me?”

 

            “No not really...” I said and tried to get under her arm and felt her grip my arm tighter.

 

            “Sure you do...” She answered as she rested her head on my shoulder and then brought her mouth up to my ear. “She’s pregnant Jay, and guess who’s the wonderful father? You! Congrats on fucking up my life Jay. You just couldn’t stay away from the little heifer now could you?” Her voice was rough against my ear and I felt the knife tear down the wall in one swift movement. Shit, I was so screwed.  “But I think there is a way that we can fix all of this and make sure you never have any more kids...or I could just make you wish you never even acted like my ass was so easy to step all over. Which one? You can decide.” I watched as her eyes skimmed me and she laughed, making me more nervous than I already was. I felt her mouth come up to my ear and that’s when I heard her voice. “Don’t ever, fuck with me. Next time, your ass will be dead.”
