Dionnis
_________

9:27pm|

Dian mood has lifted and as expected she turned into the life of the party. I always admire how brave she can be without the influence of alcohol.

She haven't had a drop of alcohol since she would be leaving at 12:30 for the beginning of her shift.

"Sup bro" Fiftie said as we dap into a brotherly hug.

"Me here just a cool on the ends" I reply and turn my gaze to Aaliyah.

"Aaliyah" i hailed.

"Dionnis" she returns but her smile doesn't reach her eyes.

Yep muma goodly hate me now but nonetheless I try to strike a conversation with her by asking "How is Jamaica treating you?".

She was caught off guard since I've never said more than two words to her whenever we are in the presence of each other; after all she's my soon to be sister-in-law that's dating my right hand man and cousin, I need to at least try to be more nicer to her.

Aaliyah gaze at me with a puzzling look before saying "Everything has been good so far and everyone I've met has been welcoming".

I nod "that's good to hear".

For some odd reason she looks a bit pale like in a sickly way or she might be pregnant but I could be wrong.

"Are you feeling okay? You look pale" I raise a concern question.

She avert her gaze to me swiftly as if she was about to snap her head off her shoulders; her eyes widened a bit giving herself away, at this point she looks guilty of something.

"I feel a little under the weather but I wanted to come and support my boss's party. I mustered up all the strength I can regain and begged Fiftie to bring me for a few hours, whether it be one or two at least I got the chance to show my face in attendance".

I nod in agreement but I can't help wondering "under the weather how, like a flu?".

"No not really, I haven't been eating properly and it's finally taking a toll on my health hence why my appearance may seem dull compared to my normal self" she explained.

"I guess you and your sister do have a lot in common. What did Fiftie do now?" I query and take a swig at my magnum.

She looked at me totally flabbergasted.

"It was that obvious?" She asked making me chuckle.

"Honestly yes since he's sitting a couple feet away from you" I voice my clear observation.

"Ah" she said.

"He wants a baby and I'm not a hundred percent ready as yet for such a commitment that serious. I have no idea as to how a child is raised, I told him I needed a year or two to decide because I wanted to devote my attention to my incoming nieces or nephews but he's not having it" she said lowering her head in defeat.

My eyes widen instantaneously "n-nieces or nephews?".

Aaliyah looks at me and starts giggling "no anéyah is not having twins, Antwaun and your cousin is having a baby".

Wah the fuck me nah hear yah tonight.

"Briana a breed?"

"Yes, she's almost five months along" Aaliyah informs me.

"Wow, I guess everyone is growing up right before my eyes" I respond in astonishment.

"Yep" she replies with a pop at the end .

"Want me to scold him for you?" Doing that would be fun since I hardly get the opportunity to do so.

"Nah not unless he brings it up to you on his own, I don't want him thinking that I'm running to others whenever things get complicated between us" the smile on her face falters as if she's remembering something that transpired between them.

The corner of her eyes turn glossy and the tears threaten to fall. I'm not a soft person but seeing her like this stirs up an unfamiliar feeling inside of me urging me to protect her as if she's my own flesh and blood.

I stretch my arm out and touch hers in a comforting way then stand to my feet. Fiftie hasn't taken his eyes off of us since he sat down, I know he isn't jealous because his expression remains solemn but after seeing me stand his gaze shifted to the dance floor to avoid my scrutinizing glare.

Aaliyah doesn't want me to mention our conversation to him unless he brings it up on his own. I am not one to betray someone's trust so I'll wait for him to say what's on his mind.

"What yuh say going on with you now?" I query with a playful smirk on my face.

"Just a cool enuh couz" he tells me.

Fiftie is just like me, we put up a wall to shut people out and if we let you in then you must be pretty damn special.

"Eeh, I see that" I reply not losing my playful smirk.

He bobs his head to the music enjoying the atmosphere and vibes it insinuates to everyone around us acting oblivious to my presence.

Fiftie glance over his shoulder at Aaliyah holding his gaze for a minute then back to the dance floor.

My brows knitted in confusion, Aaliyah had told me what happened but the man sitting across from me looks totally affected yet calm all at the same time.

He cares for her otherwise he wouldn't of been taking so much glances at her as if he's worried someone might run off with her.

"Yuh think Aaliyah would cheat on me?" Fiftie asked out of the blue.

I turn to look at him with a puzzling gaze once again "no she loves you too much to betray yuh like that" I gave my honest opinion.

He runs both palms over his face and sigh deeply then said "I could be wrong but sometimes when I am around her and Josh he looks at her with great admiration, the same look he used to give Dian when they first started dating".

Boy if ain't one thing is the fucking next.

This is what I was trying to avoid— being caught in a crossfire. I've learned from a young age to keep out of man and woman feuds because you can get burn easily. They could easily forgive each other later on leaving you with the shitty end of the stick.

In this case I'm the one leaning towards the end.

'Abort while you still can' I tell myself.

To avoid being in the center I continue playing the role of the innocent and naive subjective. With a lazy shrug I say "I wouldn't know I've never seen them both in the same setting before".

"Hmm" Fiftie hummed.

The music stops and the Dj made an announcement. A young slender shaped woman walks onto the platform to retrieve the mike; she doesn't look no older than twenty-five with light pale skin. She carries an accent otherwise I would have thought she's a bleacher. The long straight brown hair casually brushes against her waist whenever she moves.

She's dressed in a long nude jumpsuit that has a plunge opening at the front giving the public a good view of her equally paled but full breasts. My eyes trail down to her hips, slowly gliding over her perky ass that's enhanced under her clothing.

Damn

She has a nice body for a white girl.

"Who is she?" Fiftie queries turning his gaze to me and I shrug in response.

"Good night everyone, my name is Cheryl Hobson I am the executive assistant at Willet's & Sons incorporation. In the light of this event I would like to highlight the 18years that this company has been in operation and the 10 years of hard work and dedication my boss the CEO Mr Joshua Willet has put into keeping it afloat after the untimely death of his father" the crowd erupted into a cheer as Joshua head up the stairs to close off the speech.

When he was finished they cheered again and the music came back on even louder than before.

*************

Dian rest her hand on my broad shoulder to draw my attention to her. She smiles apologetically then replace it with a frown "I'm leaving now to go home and prepare for work. Thanks for hosting us, everything was beyond our expectations" she leans down and wrap her arms around my shoulders to give me a warm hug.

I rest my head on her shoulder and in my peripheral view I can see Josh and Aaliyah having a conversation, laughing at whatever they both seemed to be talking about has caught my attention which should have done the same for Fiftie since he's only an arm length away from me.

Once she let go of me, I looked across to see Fiftie's clenched jaw and curled up fists; this is the first time I've seen him exercised this much restraint.

Dian turns on her heels then walk over to the other two persons in conversation and join them, she gave Aaliyah a hug whilst Josh walks up to us and give us both a daps before leaving with his wife.

Fiftie brings the glass to his mouth and swallow the remains of his Hennessy in one gulp.

'Aaliyah you're in for a ride tonight, I hope you turn up alive' I chuckle at that thought.

Patting his back I said "it's nothing, she's just being nice since he is initially her boss".

Fiftie gives me a deadly side eye glare then avert his eyes back to Aaliyah who now has her head bent in fear.

Jah jah!

I raise my hands in surrender and shake my head.

He would never put his hands on her but I'm afraid he might do damage elsewhere.

"Go easy on her, she still has much to learn" I said.

Hopefully he listens.

"Hmm" he hummed, he has been doing that a lot tonight.

12:00pm|

"Are you okay anéyah?" Jessica shouts on the other side of the bathroom door.

Since I've eaten the hamburger and fries I ordered through room service two hours ago, this is where I've been subjected to. Jessica and I got so busy we didn't eat until thirty minutes ago.

"Yes I'm fine, it's probably the burger upsetting my stomach" I said out loud.

"Okay, I feel a little funny too so I will go lay down" she returns then goes back into the bedroom.

That's strange I've been eating from that restaurant since we arrived to Jamaica, maybe I should of rotated my venues incase someone was keeping track of my activities.

When I felt like I was okay enough to move. I stand and walk to the sink, brush my teeth and head back to the bedroom to get some rest.

Jessica was already half naked and tucked underneath the covers of the spear bed. "Drink some water, it might help" she suggests.

Taking the full bottle of water from the nightstand, with a twist of the cover the seal breaks and I lift the bottle to my lips and take a few sips.

Opting out of my clothes, I slip an oversized T-shirt over my head and shimmer my arms into the sleeves then climb into bed.

Facing Jessica she grace me with a faint smile before closing her eyes "good night anéyah" she said tiredly .

"Good night Jessica" I replied and close my eyes as well.

Unaware of when I fell asleep, my lazy eyes flew open when a sharp pain pierced my stomach. Unable to get out of bed because of the intense amount of pain, I twist, turn and groan trying my best to cope with the unexpected agony.

"Jessica!"

Soft snores continue.

"Jessica!" I cried weakly.

"I'm losing my baby" I stiffen and wailed like a baby.

"Jessi-caaaa!" I scream out as another sudden pain shoots through my stomach like a contraction.

"Anéyah! W-What's happening, you okay?" She jumps up out of her sleep in fright.

"Jessy I think I'm losing my baby" I sob.

"Baby?"

"You never mentioned being pregnant" she walks over to the light switch, flicked it on then proceed to help me out of the bed.

As she lifts the blanket off of me, she froze in place and scream extremely loud. "I'm going go to get Justin" she said and proceed to get dressed.

Jessica rushed out of the bedroom and return ten minutes after with a sleepy justin.

His eyes widen at the sight of my body laid in a pool of blood.

"Fuck! Néyah" he exclaimed.

"The ambulance is on its way" Jessica comes into the room removing the phone from her ear.

"Calm down please" she tells me as she caresses my head.

All I could do was cry, cry because I've lost yet another baby and the father might hate me for allowing it, even worst Dionnis might accuse me of doing it on purpose.

My loud weeping has gathered the attention of a few other guests on the same floor. I can hear the loud chatters outside but the pain won't allow me to pay attention to what they're saying.

The lids of my eyes got too heavy and I struggled to keep them open until they closed completely.

******************

"Ma'am"

"Anéyah"

My body is too weak to respond to whomever is trying to get my attention, I can hear them but I'm struggling to open my eyes; at this point it's okay if I die along with my unborn baby that I've been carrying for three months.

'Nothing is worth staying alive for anymore, it's impossible for me to carry another baby successfully' I thought to myself.

I'm useless!

"Ahhh!!!" I screamed inwardly.

Losing my will to survive, I allow the black hole to suck me in claiming my soul as his.
