Sarai's POVDurk parked and hopped out his car with ease as if nothing just happened...no murder...no high speed chase...just nothing

I on the other hand walked behind him into the hotel on pins and needles from how nervous I am...I feel extremely out of place, I'm no criminal

"Aye, I'm about to check us in...just let me do all the talking aight?"

"Okay..."

"Huh?"

"Okay"

We continued walking up to the front desk and my anxiety was steadily climbing

"Good evening sir, may I help you check in? Do you have a reservation?"

"Nah um, let me just book the biggest suite y'all have"

"For just one night sir?"

"Yeah"

"and how many guests?"

"Just the two of us" Durk said looking back at me as I stared at the floor

"What is your name sir?"

"Demetrius Boldon"

Him using a fake name caused an awkward expression to appear on my face but once again I just minded my business...I'm not trying to get him or I into any unnecessary trouble

As I held my head down and stayed put the receptionist directly asked me "and your name miss?"

Before I could respond Durk looked back and gave me an aggressive look.......so I'm guessing he wants me to lie

"Ummmm my name is Serenity Farmington?"

"What?"

"Sa— Serenity Farmington"

"Okay.....................I have a 1 King bed suite with a pull out sofa, that's all I have left for tonight"

"That's cool" Durk said sliding $2,000 on the desk

"Uh sir the room is only $39 a night plus tax and fees?"

"Consider it a tip, can I get the room keys now?"

"Uh uh uh uh uh uh here you go" the receptionist smiled with a look of pure joy

Durk doesn't understand how money like that can really help the average person

"Come on" Durk said grabbing my arm and my stomach did backflips again but I played it off

He pressed the up button in between the elevators and finally let my arm go

As we stepped in the elevator he said "you keep acting like that they gon think I'm human trafficking yo ass or some shit"

"Sorry..." I mumbled as we listened to the elevator music in silence

The doors opened to the 7th floor allowing us to finally get out and find the room

He stuck the card in the door revealing a decent looking room

"Ladies first" he gestured for me to walk in front of him

I walked in and stopped to stand in the corner because I didn't know quite what to do next

I mean...I'm in a hotel room with Lil Durk who just murdered someone for me...this is something I'd listen to him rap about

Next I know it Durk was taking off his shirt in front of me so I hurried to turn around and cover me eyes

"Fuck wrong witchu?" he laughed "I know I don't look that bad now"

"Oh no...I just..........was giving you your privacy..."

"You can turn around, a nigga just gettin in the shower"

I turned around and he had one of the hotel robes on now and was back on his phone

"You just gon stand there? I know yo ass is tired from all that damn walkin you was doing" he said out of nowhere...seems like his mood is changing or he's fed up with my behavior?

"Oh...sorry" I apologized sitting in a chair in the other corner of the room

He gave me a confused look and I sat in silence not moving as he continued to do whatever he was doing on his phone

"What kinda music you fuck wit? Imma play somethin while I'm in there"

Geez...what is he going to ask me next

"Oh ummm.........."

"Take you that long to say what music you like? You like rap don't you?"

"Rap is cool" I slightly smiled trying not to aggravate him

"Who is your favorite rapper?"

"Mmmm I used to listen to Lil Wayne a lot so maybe him?"

"Wow, you fake as hell"

"What?! Oh I'm sorry I mean...I thought if I said you that you would think I was just saying that!"

"Nah don't change your answer now, it's cool"

"Durk really, I love your music"

"Mhm"

"Seriously"

"What's your favorite song that I made then?"

"Hmmmmm...I mean Home Body is a great one"

"Damn so you just be acting innocent, you really like listening to that—

"No no no no it's the beat I like and well..."

"You good" he said turning Home Body on as he plugged his phone into the speaker and he proceeded to go towards the bathroom

Ugh how come everything I say never makes sense, maybe I'm just more shy than I thought 

I heard him slide the shower curtains back and I felt myself calming down until he spoke again

"Shit, AYE CAN YOU BRING ME A TOWEL TO WASH UP WIT?" Durk yelled over the shower water and I panicked

How would I hand this to him without you know...I wonder if he's...nevermind stay focused Sarai

I stood up and then sat back down and then stood up again to find the towels

"AYE YOU HEAR ME?"

"Yes I'm getting it..."

"YOU HEAR ME??????"

"YES HERE I COME"

I grabbed a face towel and slowly cracked the bathroom door open letting a bunch of steam out

I heard him singing his own lyrics and had to hold back my laughter because he does not sound how he does on the actual song right now

"BABY WHEN I ... PUT YO BACK IN IT—

"Ummm Durk?" I whispered and his head popped out from the other side of the curtain

"You gon bring the shit over here or what?" he asked irritated

I hurried to hand him the towel and he ripped the curtains back disappearing again

I quickly left out the bathroom and felt like I wanted to cry

If I don't stop acting weird he's probably going to kick me out

Well I could continue to stand here or just make use of my time

I looked to the left for ideas and ended up grabbing the ice bucket to get some ice

I went in my purse to get some change for a vending machine if they have one

I crept out the room and slowly shut the door behind me

I returned about 15 minutes later after I finished eating my Hot Cheetos down there

I opened the door quietly and Durk was walking out the bathroom as soon as I walked in

"Where you go?"

"Oh...I just went to get some ice and to the vending machine to get a snack"

"and you ain't bring me shit back? Look like you had some damn Hot Cheetos too"

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"Oh I'm sorry—

"Nah you good...but ummm I'm bout to hit India to make sure she good"

That sort of bothered me for some reason hearing him say that but I ignored the feeling

Why would I not expect him to check on his girlfriend who he has a child with...

I'm out of my mind thinking Durk could even like me in the slightest bit

I didn't respond to him and just put the ice down and walked into the bathroom to prepare to take a shower myself

I lightly shut the door and I heard him start speaking so I pressed my ear to it to hear what he was saying

📞"You don't need to be worried about me I'm good.........I'm the one protecting y'all remember?............I'm staying at Von house tonight, we workin late in the studio.................I ain't respond to yo texts because I been workin tryna make sure y'all eat......................nah I'm not mad at you.........I don't be sucking on yo neck like that India..................okay then they came from me.....................shit I miss you too..........yea I want us to work I told you imma make you my wife soon.................aight love you too, maybe we can go out tomorrow or some shit.......aight bye"

Hmmm...I wonder why he lied about where he was at and what he was doing?

I guess he just wouldn't want there to be any way of her finding out he was with me

As I showered tears formed in my eyes and dropped down my face

I just want my old life back........I miss my friends and especially Herb and my parents of course but that's another story for a therapist

After about 25 more minutes I turned the water off and threw on the other robe that was hanging up

I washed my face and brushed my teeth and finished off my self care by fishtailing my hair

I threw on the same black set of pajamas because I haven't been able to buy any new ones yet and walked out to where Durk was

"You hungry?" he asked laid back flipping through the channels

"No, I'm fine" I responded walking into the living area

I noticed the couch was pulled out and the bed was made for me to get in it

I wonder what made him do that...

"Aye—

I jumped up when I heard his voice and he gave me an annoyed look back

"I was just coming to say that we can't go back to the house together, you gon have to just act like you came back and want to be hired again, I'll make sure India good with it"

I scoffed at what I just heard because he's treating me like I'm worth nothing

As if I'm just going to do as he says, lie and go back to living there being their maid and watching their disobedient children...I don't think so

I was about to respond but I thought about it...I can barely do what I'm doing right now because of him

This money will run out quick and I can't just leave Bryson and Olai behind forever so I somewhat have no choice but to go along with this

"Okay" I responded with a blank face and before I could turn off the lights he said

"You good?"

"Totally fine"

"Seem like yo mood changed"

"No I...just tired...so am I walking back to your house or..."

"I'll drop you off in the area so you safe, when you knock on the door you and I never seen each other today alright? No way I can have my girl finding out about this."

His girl?!?!?

What has gotten into him? Seriously?!

"I understand" I chuckled accidentally...

"Ion see what's funny"

"Nothing...I always laugh when I'm super sleepy" I said as nicely as possible turning off the lights

He went back to the bed and I finally shut my eyes as soon as my head hit the pillow_____________________The next morning...

I woke up abruptly to a fully dressed Durk standing over me

"Time to go" he said with no good morning or anything

I slowly sat up and glanced at the clock on the wall seeing it was 10:43am already

Ughhhh Bryson is probably going crazy wondering about me so I better get back as soon as I can

Durk left out the room and I put the denim shorts he gave me  back on with the black shirt I'm already wearing, did my morning hygiene and packed my backpack up

30 minutes later I walked on the side where Durk was and he looked upset

"A nigga been waiting like a hour" he said angrily brushing past me

I don't know what's gotten into him honestly...it seemed like he really cared but now I feel like a burden to him

Unfortunately, I walked behind him and followed him to the front desk area once again

He slid the room keys back to the receptionist and walked right out the front door

I continued to follow behind him and hopped in the passenger seat as he pulled off before I was fully even in the car

I barely shut the door and began to cry in my hands as he was speeding

He turned the music back down and asked "whatchu cryin for?"

"..............I ... I — I — I — I just don't know ........... what I did to upset you......." I said in between tears

He stared at me and then back at the road for a few minutes before responding

"Stop crying...you ain't do nothing, I just got a lot on my mind...I'm sorry"

Hmmm...I'm shocked he apologized but whatever...it doesn't even matter

I didn't respond to him and just stared out the window as he continued "you want me to get you somethin to eat before I—

"No thank you" I responded as my stomach started growling

He turned the music back up and continued to speed for about 30 minutes until I noticed we were back in the area he lives in from all the nice cars driving up and down the road

"Aight imma drop you here" he said stopping in front of a mall

I was about to open the door to jump out until he locked it saying "you comin back ain't you?"

I shook my head yes but he didn't seem convinced

"Aye, look...when you come imma get y'all cellphones and give y'all some money to go shopping for clothes over here aight?"

A smile appeared on my face and a smurk appeared on his now

I turned back towards the window so he wouldn't see me blushing ughhhhhhhhh frihdgtrhniyyh!!!!!!

I looked back at him and he was looking down at his steering wheel with the same expression

"Thanks Demetrius" I joked

"Huh? Oh..." he laughed

"That was the fake name you gave the receptionist"

"You right you right"

"You always use that name?"

"Nah I usually use Daniel but I decided to switch it up Serenity"

"Well that was the best I could think of on the spot...criminal activity is new for me"

"We gon make that the first and last time you even involved in criminal activity aight?"

"Okay friend" I smiled and he gave me a weird expression

"We friends?" he asked

"Ummmm...is that okay?" I asked confused

"Shiiiiit I mean...you gon stop acting so damn awkward around me?"

"I'm warming up to you" I smiled and a smile grew back across his face as if that was good news

"Good because my kids like you and from the looks of it we may become family if Zayden keep his shit up with yo sister"

"Don't remind me" I laughed opening the car door "see you soon Durk"

"Aye this stay between me and you?"

"Of course" I said with a little sadness...I can't help but feel...I don't know...used?

"Aight I'll see you at the house then"

Bryson POV"Excuse me you didn't clean any of the cars yet?" Henry said on my case again

"Imma get to it nigga damn..." I responded adjusting this stupid ass tux they got me wearing

These damn shoes extra shiny and squeaky as hell when I walk

I can't wait to get my ass out of here and find Sarai, she was right all along...I can't continue to do this shit, especially without her. Why would she just leave like that?!

Olai won't stop asking me about her and think she left because of her or Sarai dead or some shit

I told her quit the dramatics and we will find her soon ... although I'm extremely worried my damn self about her

I finally walked outside to they big ass garages and I saw they G Wagon was on and running but I didn't see anyone in the driver seat

I walked up to see what was wrong and I couldn't believe what the fuck I'm seeing and hearing, them damn moans sound like a seal 🦭 giving birth

"UNR UNR UNR OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH" I heard echo and busted the fuck up laughing

Durk girl back there gettin it in wit some nigga that is definitely not Durk

"Ahhhh shit..." I said to myself running back inside

Ain't no fuckin way I just seen that shit

What the fuck do I do?! Do I tell him or just mind my fuckin business...

Nigga prolly wouldn't believe me no way, who know how long her ass been doing that shit

I contemplated my next move before the garage door opened and I saw India standing there like she just went through it

"Uhhhhh" I stood awkwardly

"Were you just out there?" she asked with both her hands on her hips like she finna do something

"No?"

"HE SAW YOU, DON'T LIE"

"Who saw me?" I asked raising my eyebrow 🤨

"Uhhhh — ugh — that's not important, DON'T SAY SHIT OR I'LL HAVE YOU FUCKIN KILLED"

"You ain't scaring nobody"

"Okay look please!!!!" she said batting her eyes now like I give a fuck 🥺

"I'm sure y'all got security cameras...what if I just tell that nigga Durk to check the footage because I saw something suspicious huh?!"

"No, please!!! He will kill me!!! What do you want, anything?!"

"I want my sister back and I want y'all to help us get on our shit and you to be nice to her. My sister has the biggest heart and she gone now because of you."

"Okay fine I'll get her back and help you all, and I'll be the nicest person you ever met as long as you don't tell Durk one word about this"

"Aight cool, I want her back within 24 hours"

"Say less"

Durk's POVI finally pulled back up to the house and saw this dumb ass nigga Bryson outside washing the cars

"Aye Bryson" I yelled jumping out the truck and this nigga acting like he nervous

"Wassup man?"

"You good bro? These cars lookin good, I appreciate y'all"

"I mean I'm worried about Sarai but other than that it's all good"

"Don't worry" I said walking past him and into the house

I heard him saying something else but I really don't give a fuck, he'll see his sister soon

Plus I still wanna kill his ass for that chokehold shit but I won't for the sake of Sarai's......feelings?

I walked in the house and saw India making breakfast with all our kids sitting around the corner

"Hey bae, I'm making your favorite...chicken and waffles"

"Thanks" I said kissing her lips a few times and picking up my baby Willow

"Dada I miss you, where you been?" she asked hitting me in the head with her doll

"Daddy been working, whatchu been doing baby shark?"

"Nothin, looking for you..." she smiled and I felt Bella hug my left leg and Skyler hugged my right

"Daddy's girls miss him huh?" I asked running my fingers through Skyler's hair

"Yes daddy can we do something fun today?" Skyler asked

"Like what?"

"Disneyland"

"Nah we won't have time for that, maybe we will have family game night again"

"Okay daddy"

"Zayden, Angelo, Mier...y'all ain't gon speak?"

They continued staring down at they iPads with they little rude asses

"Aye dad I need to buy Olai an iPad so we can text" Zayden said out of nowhere

"Boy have you lost—

I stopped talking when I heard a knock at the door, that must be Sarai

I put Willow down to go open it but India ran in front of me before I could...fuck

"I got it bae I know you tired" she smiled disappearing in the distance

She really wanted to open that door before I did mmm

I heard Von loud ass so I had a sigh of relief

"I'm surprised you here and y'all been working in the studio all day and night yesterday" India said continuing to cook as Von followed behind her

I gave Von a go with it look and he said "ahhhh yeah me and bro made some shit yesterday, can't wait for y'all to hear it"

I laughed as we dapped each other up

He started looking around and that made me wonder why he was even here in the first place

"Yo, where that new shorty you hired?"

Before I could respond there was a knock at the door again

"I got it" I said to India so she wouldn't try to open it again but she looked nervous

I jogged to open the door seeing Sarai's pretty ass standing there looking awkward as hell...but what's new

I just smiled at her and then remember I gotta speak

"Uhhhhh hey"

"Hi?"

"You—

I stopped talking when I heard feet behind me and it was India looking relieved, I thought she would be pissed?

"Oh Sarai I'm so happy to see you!" India smiled pulling her inside and I was confused as hell

"Ummm..." Sarai said just as confused as I am

"Look, I was so wrong for firing you like that...we would really appreciate you joining the team again. You guys have become like family now. Durk and I will help you and your siblings get on your feet. Durk honey I think we need to get them phones so we can all stay in communication?" she said facing me now

Something ain't right........
