April
Two Months Later

These past two months have been nothing less than amazing. Mainly because Keith has been by my side and it's just like all of the stress just disappeared.

But there has been one thing that has been lingering around.

Quavo.

I have yet to tell him that I'm back with Keith. I know that he's going to flip out and I know that I shouldn't even care but I just don't want nothing crazy to happen. I'm trying to keep things as peaceful as I possibly can. But I have to tell him.

I pulled myself out of bed so that I can get ready for the day. My bathroom door opened and Keith walked out. His arms wrapped around me and he kissed my cheek.

"Good morning my love." He said.

"Good morning, I would kiss you but I have morning breath." I laughed while moving out of his grip and walking into the bathroom.

"Oh so you wanna act like this ain't the first time I've smelt your morning breath?"

"Whatever fool."

"So Baby I wanna take you out tonight, I got something important that I wanna talk to you about."

I raised an eyebrow. "And what do you wanna talk to me about?"

"You'll find out later."

"Does it have anything to do with something that goes on my left hand?" I asked while turning to face him.

He smirked. "You think you ready for that? I mean we did just get back together."

"I do but I guess we could wait a little longer before we start thinking about that. I got some other things to handle before I become Mrs. Powers anyway." I started to brush my teeth.

"So if I got down on one knee right now you'd tell me no because you got somethings you gotta handle?"

The thought of it honestly gave me butterflies. I just looked at him in the mirror but never gave an answer.

I finished brushing my teeth then washed my face. Once I got done, I slipped off my clothes from last night then I walked over to Keith and grabbed his hand. His teeth captured his bottom lip as I tugged on his jogging pants. He took them off along with his briefs then we climbed in the shower. Once the water was comfortable he grabbed my face and kissed me.

"I would love to be your wife one day. The time we spent away from each other was hard and I tried to pretend like I was okay but I wasn't. I missed you every single day and ever since we've been back together I've felt amazing. So if you bent down one knee and proposed to me, I'd say yes with no hesitation." I said before kissing his lips again.

"You will be my wife there's no doubt about it and you already know how I felt about us splitting. If I wasn't being a jackass we would've never been in that situation. But I don't wanna think about that right anymore. I just want to think about making you happy and keeping you happy."

"Well I know one thing you can do to make me happy."

"And what's that?"

I placed my hand on the top of his head and started pushing him down. He bent down and put both of my legs over his shoulders. Standing up he put me up against the wall.

My god what am I going to do with hiiiiiim!

Later On

After our little sexcapade in the shower I ended up going back to sleep. I had planned on running some errands this morning but Keith cancelled that. Once I gained enough strength I got up and got dressed then went to meet Dion and Nique to grab some food.

I also wanted to run this Quavo situation by them. Everybody was pissed that I even let him back around me. I was drunk, it wasn't even supposed to get past that night. But he thinks we're going to go back to the way we were and that's not going to happen at all.

I sat in Houston's with my babies, listening to them talk. I was so busy trying to figure out how should I bring up my situation.

"Why are you so damn quiet?" Dion asked me.

"I'm just listening to y'all ramble on about anything."

"Yeah you a little too quiet." Nique said. "Everything Good over there with you and Keith?"

"Everything is perfect...beyond perfect. We even talked about marriage this morning."

Dion gasped, being all dramatic. "Do I hear wedding bells? Are we about to plan a wedding."

"Probably not anytime soon, but most definitely one day." A huge smile peeled across my face.

"So what's going on then? I know you're not quiet for nothing." Nique said.

"Well, I haven't cut ties with Quavo and it's not like we're flirting or anything it's like he's become a good friend. But I know Keith would never be okay with us communicating and I don't know if Q thinks by being a sweetheart that we're going to get back together. I haven't built up the courage to even tell him about Keith."

"Why not though? I hope you're not trying to spare his feelings because he damn sure never spared yours." Dion said.

"I'm just trying to keep the drama down to a minimum. I've been feeling on top of the world lately and I just don't want that ruined."

"What you think is going to happen if Keith finds out you're trying to be buddy buddy with your ex, the ex that hurt you, stomped all over your heart. You think he's going to be okay with that? Would you be cool with him staying in contact with his ex?" Nique asked.

"And boo you gotta remember that Quavo knows you better than he knows anybody else. He knows that if he acts like this person that you've always begged him to be, you'll stick around. Don't be dumb April." Dion said.

Chewing on the inside of my cheek, I just took in everything they said.

"You're in love with Keith, I understand you wanna keep the drama down to a minimum but you need to let Q know what's up and then tell Keith the truth."

I nodded, while picking up my phone and texting Quavo to meet me at my shop so that we could talk.

I'm just praying that this goes smoothly

At The Shop

I sat in my chair and twirled around in it, waiting on Q to get here. I got ready to call his phone until I heard the bell that let me know the door had opened, go off. I got ready to get up and walk over there but stopped. "Keith! Uuuum, what are you doing here?"

"I was riding past on my way back to your house and I saw your car and the lights on so I stopped by. What you doing here?"

"There was a few things that I had to take care of. I should be at the house in about 15 minutes though. How about you go to the grocery store and I'll cook whatev-." Before I could finish the door opened again. "Shit."

"Who is that?" Keith asked

Quavo soon appeared.

"What the fuck is he doing here?!" Keith yelled.

"Baby, just relax." I said while grabbing his arm.

"Baby?" Quavo said. "When the fuck did that happen?"

"The more important question is why you in my girl shop." Keith snatched away from me. "She don't fuck with you bitch."

"Watch that name calling before you regret that shit."

"I ain't watching nothing boy."

I got in front of Keith and tried to get his attention but it was hopeless. "Baby stop!"

"You weak as fuck Keith and you know it! I'm here because yo bitch wanted me to be here."

My eyes grew I thought Keith would turn on me next but instead he pushed me out the way and went after Quavo. All I could hear was him going off about him calling me a bitch.

"STOP YALL! QUIIIIIT!" I yelled as I tried to pull Keith off of Quavo. He was beating the shit out of this boy! I was too weak, Nothing was working!

Why couldn't my brother be here?!

I pulled a little harder but he just would not budge, I could tell that he had been waiting for this moment to happen.

"Keith just stop! Baby please st-."

POW POW POW.

My heart dropped to the floor.

Keith's body just fell over to the side. Quavo scooted back with the gun in his hand. He looked like he couldn't believe what he did.

I rushed and grabbed my phone then ran over to Keith. Tears ran down my face, as I took off my sweater and put pressure on the two wounds.

"HEY SIRI CALL 911!"

The call connected. "911, what's your emergency?"

"My boyfriend....he was shot! Help me! Please hurry! PLEASE!"
