Love At First Sight

A/N: Only 10 chapters left!!! 😱

Sarai's POV"Von, DO NOT get any closer to me."

"Stop playin—

"I'M NOT PLAYING WITH YOU! WHY DO YOU NEVER TAKE ANYTHING SERIOUS?!?"

"Quiet yo ass down, you keep yelling you just getting more and more attention on us."

"Us?! Are you crazy???"

"About you I am, I don't know what the hell it is but...

"But nothing Von, you are not only disrespecting Durk right now but you are also disrespecting me......like you always do!!! You know how Durk gets when he's mad, wait until he finds all this out!!!"

"So? I don't give a fuck! Imma go after what I want and what's mine regardless. You playing hard to get right now but I be seeing that look in yo eyes. I know yo ass remember when I first took you out. You had on that little ass black skirt and shit."

"There's absolutely no look in my eyes, this is becoming funny at this point. I remember you playing with my emotions, taking me home and making me think you wanted something when you didn't—

"I did, I'm a man up about it and tell you that you just gotta teach me how to do better. I might get distracted but you brought out another side of me no other female has."

"Well I'm sorry you feel that way but I'm dating Durk and he's all I'll ever want."

"You say all that now but you ain't ever experienced having something real with me. Just look at me Sarai, in my eyes. You need a real gangsta, a protector, you would never have to worry about anything with me."

"BECAUSE there was nothing real Von, you yourself made that VERY clear! YOU wanted Asian and that's who you need to be professing your feelings to right now."

"I reacted like that out of ... out of—

"Von, you know what......just get away from me! I'm having a hard time controlling my anger with you right now. I don't know what's taking Durk so long to come back."

"Stop thinking about him, just focus on me. I like when you get mad for some reason, so be as angry as you want. I coulda been doing anything tonight but I went out of my way to come with y'all for this very reason."

"What reason? You're starting to seem delusional to me you know that? You'd say all this and Durk is your best friend?! Or better yet, your so called brother!!!"

"It was worth the risk. Just let me hold you one more time and you tell me how you feel. If you want me to stop I will."

"NO NO NO NO NO NO!!! I've been wanting you to stop since this started! I'm about to scream for Durk to come back out here in a second."

Von didn't say anything else and proceeded to grab both my arms and pull me towards him.

"STOP— I began to yell but he coveted my mouth with his right hand. I bit his hand but he didn't budge and pulled me even closer to him by my chin and wouldn't let go.

"DURK!!!" I attempted to scream with a few tears falling down my face but Von just tightened his grip.

"You doin too much, just calm down." Von whispered inching closer to my face but I'm just not risking this coming off the wrong way to Durk.

"Back the hell up!" I screamed in Von's face right before I slapped him in his mouth as hard as I possibly could.

"What the fuck is going on?!" Durk yelled running over to us after witnessing what just happened.

"Babe, he was trying to get me to cheat with him—

Before I could even finish my statement, Durk swung on Von with the quickness and they broke out into a fist fight.

The pizza that was being delivered to our table flew in the air and landed on the customers that were sitting behind us.

I saw a few people pull out their phones and start recording and I was so embarrassed and nervous all at the same time.

I've had one too many different experiences at this pizza place. But being here is what changed and saved my life...and now here I am standing here in a dress and heels powerless not able to break them up.

Crazy how now people rather pull out their phones and record nowadays when something bad happens rather than try to actually help the situation. Then again they are both celebrities so this is expected, people were staring at us the entire time we were here anyway. I'm just glad no one asked for a picture like usual. 🙄

"DURK stop they'll call the police on you!" I cried trying to pull him back by his shoulders but I couldn't, he's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy stronger than me.

"IF YOU GENTLEMEN DON'T STOP WE WILL BE FORCED TO CALL THE AUTHORITIES!" an employee yelled out from the kitchen with a phone already up to his ear.

There were people running out the restaurant now and they looked just as terrified as I was in this moment.

"DURK PLEASE FOR ME JUST STOP!" I yelled again and he finally listened. He turned around to face me and he was definitely still enraged. 😡

"ONE OF Y'ALL NEED TO TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED RIGHT THE FUCK NOW!"

"I was trying fix shit with her bro." Von finally spoke up as he got out the booth.

"That required you sitting right the fuck next to her as soon as I get up and leave?!"

"It was a personal issue and I wasn't tryna have everyone in this bitch hear what I got to say."

"AIN'T SHIT YOU GOTTA SAY THAT CLOSE TO MY FUCKIN GIRLFRIEND! SARAI YOU JUST LETTING THIS SHIT SLIDE?!?"

"NO NOT AT ALL DURK, I was screaming for you to come back — you know what Von tell him what you did and said now before I do."

"I was talking things out with you like you wanted." Von added...

"I didn't want shit from you!"

"Sarai ain't even like that nigga quit fuckin lying. When I came out the bathroom she slapping you in yo face for a fuckin reason?"

"Aight bro I was just testing the waters. Loyalty test and she passed, Sarai a keeper." Von continued but he looked disappointed. Maybe he really did like me after all...

"I ain't ask you to test her loyalty stupid ass. I don't have a reason to even question Sarai's loyalty." Durk responded

"No you don't Durk and you never will. Von was trying to convince me that he had something with me before you did. He cornered me in the booth and when I tried to move he put his hands on me so I had no choice but to slap him because I didn't want you to not believe me Durk!!!"

"Sarai I believe you, you ain't gotta worry about that. Von been a thirsty ass jealous ass nigga over you from the start."

"My bad bro I was wrong—

"Yeah you was and this why me and my girl not having you around anymore. Save all the bullshit because I got things to do, come on Sarai." Durk extended his hand out to me and I felt so relieved that this didn't go the wrong way.

"Nigga it ain't gon happen again— Von tried to say but Durk wasn't having it, as he shouldn't.

"I know it won't, you won't have the opportunity to do no goofy ass shit like that again."

"Let's just forget this shit even happened." Von keeps trying but it'll be awhile before Durk lets something like this go.

"Nah, fuck that. I'm cool. Find another ride home nigga."

We left Von inside and I slid in the passenger seat next to Durk as he sped off.

"My feet hurt from these heels..." I spoke up to break the awkward silence.

"I'll rub them when we get home."

Great, so he's not upset with me...

"Thanks...I'll rub something for you too." I said as I grabbed his 🍆 while he was driving.

He glanced over at me and a small smile appeared on his face.

"Every since that night at the beach you just keep tryna show out."

He stopped at a red light so this is my time to go crazy...

"Well a lot just happened in there so maybe this will calm you down..." I said the same thing he said to me when the elevator in his house broke down because him kissing me for the first time really did calm me down.

I pulled him out his pants and got to work, it wasn't as easy with all the stopping, going and turns but I got the job done and it's all over my face. 🤪🍆_____________________The next morning...

Durk's POV"Aye whatchu doin bae?" I asked Sarai rolling her on top of me on the couch she was laying on.

"I'm reading...along with using that $50,000 you gave me to start up a business."

"I spend that shit at the dentist."

"Are you still planning to get your diamonds out soon?"

"Yeah, I think I need a break. Why you gon miss em?"

"They do look nice on you...they feel pretty good too when...you know..."

"See, there you go tryna be sneaky again."

"How?"

"I already ate you up 5 times today and you still want more huh?"

"Noooo, I mean of course but I was just saying the diamonds in your mouth feel reallyyyyyyyy good down there..."

"Yeah okay...but aye I wanna ask you something before I go to the studio."

"What?"

"Well I wanna see if you cool with this or not."

"What is it?"

"So......at the party India came up to me and was—

"You invited her?"

"Nah, she came with Dugg."

"Oh, well who invited them?"

"Baby did, that's his artist."

"Okay..."

"So, she basically was asking if she could come over and we try to get on speaking terms for Willow. Dugg would be with her and you could be there with me for the entire conversation."

"Ummm..."

"I told her I'd only agree if you was cool with it."

"I see..."

"I think it'll be good for not only Willow but she'd probably drop the case she filing against me too."

"I don't like it Durk...she not only tried to kill me, she tried to kill you and your kids, put us both in prison and had sex with my brother?!"

"You right about all that but look at it from my point of view, that's still Willow's mom."

"Well it seems like you already have your mind made up."

"Not without my babygirl's approval first."

"Durk I haven't even talked to Bryce in a month. How am I going to be with you to forgive India and I haven't even forgiven him?"

"So we set up a time for you to make shit right with him and I'll be with you since that's your brother. The nigga will always be on my hit list though."

"See that's just not right, India is your child's mother and Bryce is my actual brother. If you want me to be on cordial terms then I want you being cordial with Bryce."

"For you, I'll do anything."

"I want the best for Willow so I'll support you but she needs to know there's boundaries and what I will and will not tolerate as your girlfriend."

"You mean wife?"

"Of course."

"Anything else you gotta say?"

"Well.....................one more condition since we are making amends with people."

"What?"

"You're okay with my friends coming over here to fix things."

"Who?"

"I have five main ones, you haven't met them yet."

"Okay so what's they names?"

"Leslie, Vanessa, Cadence, Tamia, Herb and some of his friends..."

Sarai acted like she didn't really want to say that last name. I swear I heard her say that fuckin name before too.

I thought about it for a minute while she was back to looking nervous.

"Did you just say his? Ain't that the nigga you said you used to fuck with or something? The stupid ass one you showed me you and him in a picture when we was in my movie theater?"

"Yes that's him but he's in a relationship now, we were all in a mutual friend group that's why he would be there."

"So you have male friends now? I should be the only one."

"He's not really a friend—

"But you mentioned him?"

"He is in the friend group that's why, with other guy friends as well it's not just him."

"Something seem off about that shit, I'd be a goofy ass nigga allowing the girl I plan on marrying to meet up with a nigga she told me she used to fuck with."

"It was like a stupid childhood crush Durk, I have no feelings for him whatsoever. Plus, you'd be right there with me. Just how you want me to be there when you make up with the girl you've had a whole baby with. I don't really like that either."

"Aight do what you want then fuck it."

I got up to leave before this situation escalate and I put my hands on Sarai because she pissing me off. She using my situation to defend her making up a reason to see this bum ass nigga.

"Where are you going Durk?" she asked following me

"I need some space, I'll talk to you later on."

"So in the middle of us talking you just get up and leave?!"

"What it look like?"

"Fine do what you want, I don't even care."

"Cool, I'm out."

"Stay out."

"Nah this my house remember? You just living in it."

"Then why don't I leave it since you need space from me and I'm just a guest here apparently?!?"

"Don't raise your voice at me Sarai, it won't be good for you."

"Are you threatening me?"

"Nah I..."

"Excuse me..."

"Wait Sarai don't leave."

"I don't feel comfortable right now, I don't know what you meant by that."

"I was just being fuckin stupid. I'd never put my hands on you."

"Okay Durk, well I'll let you go to the studio now. Glad you got to ask me about India coming over...seems like that was really important to you."

"You important to me and so is my daughter, that's why I wanted to ask you."

"K."

"Seem like you mad at me now? I'm sorry Sarai I shouldn't have said that shit to you. You know this yo fuckin house just as much as it is mine. I gotta work on my anger issues, you said you in this shit for the long run right?"

"I'm not mad, I understand......."

"You sure?"

"Mhm..."

"Okay, kiss me then."

"You're too far away."

I stepped closer to her and held her face in my hands "Now you ain't got no fuckin excuse."

She was barely looking at me and act like she ain't even want me around her anymore.

"That wasn't my normal Sarai kiss."

"No more......."

"You want me to buy you something to cheer you up?"

"Sure."

"Like what?"

"A car."

"What kind?"

"Surprise, doesn't have to be anything special I just want a way of getting around."

"You have a driver?"

"True but sometimes I just want to do normal things like go to the grocery store."

"It's whatever you want baby."

"Okay........I'm going to go make breakfast now."

She hurried around me to leave out the room and I felt hella bad.

"Aye I lo—

Nevermind, she already gone._____________________Later on that day...Sarai's POV"Hey Muwop..."

"Aye what's wrong? Durk here?"

"Yes, is—

"Hello" India said walking past me with Willow crying in her arms.

I'm already seeing how bad of an idea this is. She's walking in here as if this is her house still, I don't think so. Following behind her came Dugg and I almost didn't see him walk in.

Benjamin followed in next and I was hoping there would be no more guests. He is joining this meeting since he was there with us when all the drama happened in San Diego and Bora Bora.

"Hey, how you doin Sarai?"

"I'm doing alright, long time no see!"

"Yeah, we all so fuckin busy all the time."

"I know, Durk should be coming up from the studio now if you guys want to wait for him in the first living room."

"Aight cool" Muwop and Benjamin both said in unison.

I followed behind them and Muwop slowed down to walk next to me.

"How you been holding up? Durk treating you right?" he asked

"He always does, he's my favorite person in the world."

"That's good, the nigga can be an asshole most times."

I ignored his last statement because I'm not talking shit about Durk. Even if I am somewhat mad at him right now...no relationship is perfect at all times so it'll be okay.

"Excuse me Henry I'd like to order steak and lobster." India said out of nowhere.

"You aren't here to eat our food." I snapped immediately, I've already had a long enough day.

"Excuse me?" India said a little louder

I laughed before saying "I'm not sure why she's so confused?"

"Yeah cuz we ain't come over here for that." Muwop said finally defending me for once.

"Thanks for having my back Muwop." I smiled in his direction. "Oh and Henry don't make that food please."

"No problem Ms. Bloom." Henry said before running off. I feel like running to my room too...

"I guess they gotta be stingy with they food tuh..." India said under her breath.

"Could Dugg not afford to feed you before you came over?" I asked sitting directly across from them.

"Oh my man feeds me well thank you." India retaliated

"I was just trying to understand why you thought it was okay to come in my house and order food like this is a restaurant."

It's hard for me to speak up like this but I know that's what Durk would want me to do.

"Oh I didn't know this was your house now, I thought it was still in Durk's name..."

"Yeah so therefore it's my house because it's in my mans name. You were there yesterday, didn't you hear him say Sarai Banks?!"

"Mhm and he's called me India Banks many of times, doesn't mean much, he'll never wife you. All you are for Durk right now is a distraction because I'm gone."

Benjamin and Muwop were both looking back and forth between us like they were watching a damn movie now.

"Are you sure about that? This ring on my finger that Durk gave me indicates that he will marry me. Where's yours?"

"She don't need no damn ring because I'll buy my baby anything she want. Y'all need to chill the fuck out now." Dugg responded and India looked pissed.

"Yeah you over doing it right now India, I've seen how happy Sarai makes Durk. He was miserable without that girl." Muwop said and I was shocked...where is all this energy coming from?!?

"Thanks Muwop...I really appreciate it." I said high fiving him and I saw Durk walking out the elevator out the corner of my eye.

"Since when y'all cool?" Durk asked confused joining the inner circle.

"Well if that's yo new girl, gotta make that shit right. Me and Sarai are homies now."

"Nah you and Sarai ain't shit bro."

"Hey Durk" India smiled at him and he just nodded his head back.

Willow ran up to him and Durk was extremely happy to see her.

"Alright so let's get this damn conversation going, ion have all day." Dugg said

"Alright so here is my offer Durk. You get Willow on Friday, Saturday and Sunday." India said

"That shit ain't gon happen, most of my performances and shit be on those days." Durk responded

"Okay so what do you think will work then?"

"Willow can stay here Tuesdays and Thursdays" Durk offered

"That's it?" India said with an attitude

"Yeah, I got other kids, a career, a relationship."

"You put your relationship before your kids now? That's new..."

"He didn't say that, you keep getting out of line and I don't like it." I interrupted

"Yeah bro India was wildin saying you don't even fuck with Sarai all like that for real and you won't marry her before you came up here." Benjamin said

"India you not about to be in my house disrespecting my girl like that, you just my baby mama."

"Okay Durk you say all that now—

"I say all that because that's what the fuck I mean, understand?"

Awwwww now I just want to really forgive Durk and ride him until the sunrises...🥺 he stood up for me and put her in her place like I knew he would.

Durk continued "Drop the case India and quit yo shit. Put some respect in yo tone when you speak to me, my girl and my brothers. I gotta be around for my kids including Willow and don't have time to be dealing with no extra legal shit right now."

"Okay Durk.............." India whispered

"You hear me?"

"Yeah I heard you..."

"You ain't got shit else to say for yourself?"

"I'm sorry to all of you for all the crazy shit I did...sometimes breaks up make you do wild things but I'm in a happy relationship now."

She looked down at Dugg and he slid off the couch when his feet finally hit the ground and swung her around in the air.

"Aight y'all squash that shit, time to move forward." Dugg yelled

"I don't want to leave mommy." Willow cried

"Willow can spend the night, I'm about to go pick up the rest of my kids anyway." Durk said

Hmmm...I didn't even know Durk was going to do that but we haven't spoken much after our first little argument today...He's just been in the studio and didn't really come out.

"So we are cordial, friendly, all that?" India asked walking over to Durk as my eyes shot out imaginary fireball lasers beams. 😡 She better not try to give him a hug or touch him whatsoever.

"We good."

"I'll always respect you Durk...I'm sorry again."

"Yeah ummm and if you wanna communicate with me about Willow you need to talk through Sarai so make sure you have her number."

"It's that serious Durk?"

"Yeah me and you don't need to be in direct communication."

"Oh okay then? Dugg and I have things to do so I'll be back to pick up Willow."

"You don't even have to do that, I'll send her with a driver."

India looked even more taken back by Durk's disposition but I'm loving it. I can't wait to thank him later.

"So y'all niggas staying at my house while I leave out?" Durk said turning to Benjamin and Muwop as Dugg and India walked out.

"You kicking us out now too bro?" Muwop answered

"Nah y'all can come with me if you want." Durk responded still not acknowledging me yet...☹️

"Aight cool" Benjamin said jumping up to follow Durk out the door.

Wow...so he's just going to leave and not even say goodbye. That hurt._____________________Almost 1AM...

Durk's POV"Sarai, wake up..."

"Babe..."

"You fell asleep on the couch."

"Is she dead?" Zayden asked me as he tugged on Sarai's hair to wake her up.

"Don't pull her that hard son."

"You're so stupid Zayden." Skyler yelled at him and Sarai started waking up.

Me and all my kids was surrounding her and she jumped back when she fully woke up.

"What are you all doing?" she asked and sounded sad and tired.

"I was just telling you I was back."

"Oh, okay..."

"Aye all of y'all go put yo shit in yo rooms. First one to have they room clean get $1,000."

They all ran off after I said that so it's just Sarai and I now.

"My baby is tired huh? You couldn't even make it up to the room."

"I guess not..."

I cuddled up next to her on the couch but she wasn't all over me like she usually would be.

"Did I do okay earlier when we was all talking?"

"Mhm."

"Can you and I talk?"

"About what?"

"Us."

"What about us?" she asked facing me now.

"I'm sorry for the shit I did earlier. I was just being mean, yo friends can come over."

"I appreciate your apology."

"You sure because you don't sound like you do."

"Well I told you earlier I was over it but you pretty much ignored me the entire day. You left without saying goodbye."

"I thought you wanted yo space?"

"Why would ever want space from you?"

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay, we had our first mini argument and it wasn't too bad."

"Well we will have plenty more to get through but I know one thing that's not gon change."

"What's that?"

"I ......... let me ask you this."

"Okay?"

"Do you believe in love at first sight?"

Her eyes lit up when I said that because she knows what's coming next.

"Of course."

"That night I came over I saw what you had wrote down in yo journal or whatever about me."

Her face turned bright red and she tried to hide her embarrassment but I didn't let her.

"Durk, you're not supposed to read those things!!!!"

"You not supposed to leave em out to be read either. It's fine though because I feel the same way and I wanna tell you something I've been feelin for a minute."

"What?"

"I've always felt a need to help you and protect you...I felt a connection with you, and now you mine.......and now I love you."

"Awwwwwwwwweeeeeeeee Durk I love you too!!!"

"I always will too."

"I love you more my love."

"Impossible."

Bella and Skyler interrupted the moment running over to me saying "Can we put makeup on you daddy?"

"Hell nawl"

"Come on daddy just let them have fun?" Sarai asked with them now "right girls?"

"Yes we really miss you Sarai you're the best!"

"Y'all can do one little fucking thing that's it, just to make y'all smile."

"Here I'll help you..." Sarai said to them grabbing what looked like a black marker

Sarai leaned over me as they laughed and started doing some shit to my eyebrows.

"That shit hurt!"

"It's just an eyebrow pencil, relax Durk..." Sarai laughed

She finally finished this shit show and my daughters were happy and laughing so that's all that matters.

"Aight y'all have fun?" I asked after I looked in my camera and wiped the shit off.

"Yes, Sarai can we put makeup on you?" Bella asked

"Yes, I'll be in you girls room in a minute."

They ran back again thankfully and I held Sarai on my lap.

"You know, you've always acted as a mom towards them. I could see you being a great mom to our child in the future."

"Thanks babe, I love you and will always be there for them like they are my kids. I promised them and you that."

"I love you too, you wanna come with me to pick up Doom?"

"Where is he?"

"I had to drive another direction to get him so I dropped them off first."

"It's late so I'll just stay back to watch them."

"Aight I'll be back in a minute then."

"Okay, you can't leave without kissing me or saying goodbye ever again!!!"

"I don't plan on it."_____________________30 minutes later...Sarai's POV📞 "Hello?!?"

"Aye you up?"

"Yes, it's super late for you to be calling me what's wrong?"

"My grandma just died and you the only one I can talk to."

"Of my gosh Herb I'm so sorry!"

"You alone right now or?"

"I mean..........Durk just left......"
