Dax pulls away “I don’t want to catch what you guys have. Love no thanks”

The guys laugh and Tarek moves away like we were sick “Same.”

Cole shrugs “Maybe she will be the first wife of the future WAGS”

“What the fuck is a WAG?” Rhet inquires. I play with his fingers.

“Wives and girlfriends of a club” Cole says calmly.

I look back at RHET “I’m like the first lady of the WAGS. I like that. But?”

Jasper eyebrows frown “But what?”

“That means, you guys will have to get girls of your own.”

They all stare and me, then look at each other and begin to laugh.

“Can we please get back to the listening party.” I ask, still amazed that Jasper Remington is a best friend of Rhet.

Rhet takes my hand and leads me back to my seat. He sits and pulls me onto his lap.

Jasper and his band continue to perform. Life in this moment feels perfect because it is. I have my favorite singer in front of me, my family beside me and my man holding me. I take it all in. I look back at Rhet.

“Thank you for everything, baby.”

He kisses my nose. “I love you, doll face.”

“I love you too.”

RHET

Ihave been wearing tuxedos since before I can remember but today in this church, it feels tight. My senses are on high today. I can smell the beeswax candles and floral arrangements in the church. Even the wooden pews look extra shiny today. I can hear the guests chatting below us. I just want everything to be perfect.

“Could you please sit down, you will wear a hole in the carpet,” Dimitri says. I instantly stop because I didn’t even realize that I was pacing.

I exhale and turn to the only group of men I can truly trust. We are all are stuck up here in the balcony in the choir section. Tarek is leaning over the rails, looking at the guests come in. Cole is leaning on the wall near the door with his arms folded. His eyes are closed, I think he is sleeping as he stands. He had an event that he was speaking at last night and he flew in this morning.

Dimitri is sitting on a chair, acting like a supervisor looking at my every move. Dax is on the phone in the back talking to God knows who. Then there was Draven, typing on the phone.

“Draven did you deliver the gift to Zeeta?” I ask, while moving my neck from side to side.

“I gave it to Penny to give to her,” Draven says as he scrolls through the phone.

I straighten my neck and I stare at him “You did fucking what?” I can feel the rage awakening in me.

“My friend it’s a church.” Dimitri says with his hands up in the air.

“I gave it to Penny. Zeeta will get the gift when she is done,” Draven doesn’t even lift his head up to answer me.

“I’m going to fucking kill him.” I advance toward him Dimitri jumps in front of me.

“Move,” I said push my body forward to Dimitri.

“Drook, he gave it to Zeeta. I went with him,” Dimitri turns to Draven “Do you have a wish to die or something?”

Draven finally looks up pieces of his dirty blond hair falls into his face. “I mean if it can be done painlessly by all means. Seriously though I gave the bracelet to Zeeta. Chill.”

I released a breath I didn’t even realize I was holding, “Did she like it?”
