"Please baby, wake up,” I mumble. The sound of the door opening causes me to lift my head.
"Who the fuck are you and what are you doing in here?" a voice yells that I don't recognize. Turning around, I stare at a woman who is breathtakingly gorgeous with long dark brown hair and pale skin, which is flawlessly dressed.Is she the woman from the bar?I stand, place another kiss on Austin's head, and take a step closer to the woman as anger boils up in me.
"I can ask you the same thing."
"My name is Natalia, and I'm D's girlfriend. And I'm not going to repeat myself. Who are you and what the fuck are you doing in my boyfriend’s room?"
Without saying a word, I take my seat back beside Austin and grasp his hand, but not before running my hand through his unkempt hair.
"Ohhh. You must be the bitch that has D's attention for the moment." She laughs, and I take a deep breath, trying to calm my anger. "Sweetheart, he always comes back to me, and you’re nothing but the whore of the hour."
"I suggest you take your ass out of this room now before I have you thrown out," I say without looking back at her.
"If I can't have him, nobody will! Do you hear me? This is your final warning. He's mine! Get the fuck out of here!"
I continue staring at Austin, running my hands through his hair. “Whatever the fuck your name is, I’m not going anywhere. And if I find out that you had anything to do with him being in this bed fighting for his life, I promise you on everything that I love, you will pay.”
“Whatever bitch, he’s mine and always will be! His life, as well as yours, is in my hands. Like I said, if I can't have him nobody will, and you will be next!"
"I suggest you get your affairs in order."
I turn around at the sound of the door opening.
Razor enters, grabs her by the arm, and drops everything he is carrying on the floor. "Get the fuck out.”
"Remember what I told you. You fucking bitch, he's mine!"
Taking a deep breath, I stand up once again, place a kiss on Austin’s forehead, and wipe the tears from my eyes. I lean over and whisper in his ear, pleading with him. "Baby, you have to be strong and heal. I need you."
I place a hand on my lower stomach, walk over to the window and pull out my phone. On the third ring, he answers.
"Mjombo ni Austin."Uncle, it's Austin.
"Je, yeye ni hai?"Is he alive?
"Kwa kawaida, alipigwa risasi.Barely, he was shot.
"Sema mdogo tena. Niawaona asubuhi.Say no more niece. I’ll see you in themorning.
"Asante mjomba. Nitawapeleka anwani."Thank you, uncle. I’ll send you the address.
I end the call as soon as Razor comes back in. I walk over to Austin, take my seat back next to his bedside and text my uncle the hospital’s address. I place my phone on the bedside table and grab his hand once again.
“It was her, Razor. She did this."
"Here Kira, you need to eat something and let me handle her." He hands me a takeout plate. "I gave instructions for her not to be allowed near him."
I open the plate of food and begin eating. "Thank you, Razor."
"How do you know she did it, Kira?"
"She said if she couldn't have him, no one could." I place my food down on the bedside table, and he pulls up a chair beside me.
"She’ll pay for this, Kira. If she has anything to do with this, I’ll take her life myself."
"I know she will, Razor. I’m not worried. Uncle is on the way."
"Oh shit!"
