I’ve heard of people mentioning how someone was breathtaking, and how they took their breath away and I had never experienced it. I’ve never had a moment where my breath was stolen from my body unless it dealt with grief.
When Blair turned down the aisle as my parents brought her down to me. My breath was taken, and the tears had a mind of their own. I couldn’t breathe and debated on going to get her because she was the only way the breath would return to my body.
Flawless.
I was caught between Meer singing his heart out because he knew what this song meant for us. He made me that promise and kept his word and sang it as my bride made her way to me. There was never a time in life that I thought I would have ever have a wife.
Now I had a family.
A son that needed me, because life had failed him, and he knew that failure stopped with us. He knew that we loved him like we created him ourselves, and that I would never let anything happen to him.
I took on a lot of guilt, even for things that I couldn’t control. There was this part of me that had guilt for what happened to him, even though I didn’t know him and wasn’t there. I wanted to hurt everyone that was involved.
I would hurt everyone that was involved.
I watched my wife on the dance floor, dancing to bounce music with Capri as she held her dress up and started throwing her ass. Whenever she heard bounce music, it sparked something inside of her.
Her hair was sweated out and she had removed her makeup the minute I carried her inside. She was laughing and having the time of her life as she shook her ass while Capri was trying to keep up.
I laughed because bounce music was Blair’s domain and where she got down. Capri was Caribbean, so once reggae came on, she came to life. My baby could keep up with her, but they both did their thing with their favorite genres. Soon as the DJ mixed that reggae, Capri went crazy. Ryder got on the floor, and she showed her how to do the dutty wine, barefoot, with her dress hiked to her knees.
Aimee got on the dance floor and followed her moves, as Capri damn near threw her neck out while dancing. Blair was laughing as they both held hands and did the same dance they did when we were in Italy.
I nursed my drink and took her in. Happiness was something that I hadn’t felt in a long time, and even with all that was going on back home, happiness sat at the center of my chest. Elijah started breakdancing with CJ as the women danced around him.
Capri pulled her mother onto the floor and Mama Jean was shaking her hips, showing her exactly where she got it from.
The kids cleared the dance floor as the women shook ass and got down. Zoya got on the dance floor and got right down with Capri and Blair as they laughed and shook their bodies to the beat of the music.
Jo got on the floor and started dancing with Jean. She rushed off the dance floor and then pulled my mom onto the floor with her as she danced. Capri took my mom’s hand, and they were dancing together.
My mother’s bun she wore for the wedding had been taken down, and her hair hung down her back as she danced with Jean. I knew it probably reminded her of old times. My eyes were on my wife as she tossed ass, and I abandoned my drink, making my way onto the dance floor, coming in right behind her.
She felt me pushed against her, and she looked back. The exact reason she had my baby inside of her. It was the fuel she needed to go in, as I held her hips as she was working double hard. I couldn’t slap her ass like I wanted with the kids around, but I held her and then felt Meer behind me holding me up.
“She bout to break you… you gonna let that happen?” He joked as he held me up, Anjo was going crazy.
I looked across the room and Syn had Havoc’s ass about to fall with the way she was moving. She was on her toes, giving that nigga a dub because he was so much taller than her. I knew he didn’t have his ears on because of the music that was pumping on this beach.
Meer let me go, and I spun my wife around as she smirked. “You out here being fresh, my love, hmm?”
Recommendation: Listen to Long As I Live By Jaheim
She roped her arms around my neck and kissed my lips. “We really did it.”
“You made me the happiest man, my love.” I kissed her lips as everyone started to clear from the floor.
“Wait, where is everyone going?”
“I have a song request for our first dance… we never spoke about that.” I kissed her lips as she held onto me, standing on top of my shoes because she had been barefoot all day.
The music changed and Elijah ran onto the floor, placing his little hand in mine. “We’re doing our first dance together.” She smiled.
“The three of us until number four joins us.” I kissed her lips, and she held Elijah’s other hand as the song started, and she stared at me. “Your karaoke song, and Capri’s gender reveal song.”
I remember when I listened to Jaheim crooning through the speakers at Capri’s gender reveal. Standing on that dance floor with Gams, holding Beretta, until Blair came over and danced with me. The last time I listened to this song, I didn’t have a family, and now I do.
I’ve never been happier and prouder of my brother, witnessing him become a husband, and a father for the second time. Seeing Capri get everything she ever wanted and needed in the perfect man. I watched them feeling that yearning of wanting that same thing for me. Something I had once had, that I lost.
When I felt Blair come over and hold onto me, I stared into her eyes and felt something I hadn’t felt in a long time. I always knew I wanted her, and that I was in love with her. It was that moment that told me that I had to have her.
There was no other option.
I sang to her as I looked at Elijah and smiled at him. “I promise not to let you both down… I’m always gonna be here.”
I kissed her on the forehead and then kissed him on his. “The Infernos, right?”
“Right.” Blair smiled down at him, and kissed me, then kissed him on the cheek as we continued to hold hands and dance. “Sing to me, baby,” she said, as Elijah let our hands go and went to find Ryder.
I sang to my Queen while kissing her. “I love you, Queen Inferno.”
She pushed her lips against mine. “I love you, King Inferno.”
The music switched and then Capri came back onto the dance floor with Meer, and Erin was leading Capone onto the dance floor as she danced on him. Kobe and Syn both were dancing together. That was all Blair needed, because she spun around and started throwing it back on me, as I slapped her ass.
Gams and Augusta took the kids in the house as we all got on the dance floor. Goon led Zoya out as he danced, and she tried to keep up. I laughed because he was gonna give her a run for her money.
When Des and Jean got on the dance floor, Champion by Buju Banton came on, we started hyping them up. “Yo, that’s my mother!” Cappadonna yelled.
“Boy-Boy, she was my wife first.” As Des spun his wife around and Jean started dancing on him while their kids covered their eyes.
I rubbed my baby’s stomach as we danced and watched them. Everything about this pregnancy had me both scared and excited. I couldn’t wait to see her waddling around and having cravings. I wanted her to cry because she couldn’t see her feet and call me for everything.
A nigga couldn’t wait for her to run the house and me. Tell me what the fuck she wanted, and I was gonna do it. If she wanted me to drive to Texas for something, I was doing it.
“I can’t wait for it to become bigger.” I whispered into her ear, and she kissed me. “I want you swollen and fat.”
She laughed. “You still gonna think I’m cute?”
“The cutest.”
