Chapter 14
Kadeem
The next morning, I woke up with Saniyah’s head on my chest, and Crue was cuddled up next to her.
For a few seconds, I just laid there, staring at the ceiling, taking in the peacefulness of the villa.
There was no music playing, no cars outside.
The only sound I heard was the waves as they glided across the ocean outside.
I eased out of bed, trying not to wake them.
However, the moment I stood, Saniyah woke up.
When I returned from the bathroom, Crue was sitting up in bed, looking over the room service menu.
He ordered breakfast for the three of us and had them set it up outside when it arrived.
The balcony stretched across the entire back side of the villa with white lounge furniture, tropical plants, and a direct view of the beach below.
There was a table on the far side of the balcony where our food had been set out.
There were pancakes and waffles, fresh fruit, eggs, bacon and sausage, along with a plate of fresh muffins and croissants.
Everything was laid out beautifully, and the three of us sat around the table and made our plates.
Three different types of juices sat in crystal containers, along with coffee and creamer.
Both the view and breakfast were amazing, and when we were done, the staff picked up the dishes immediately.
Saniyah went to take a quick shower, so she could get ready to go to the spa.
She had an entire spa day planned, and I had also put together something for us to do tonight.
We had a week to be here, and no matter what was going on back home, we were going to make sure Saniyah had a great time.
I walked into the bathroom and took a shower as well before putting on a pair of hoop shorts and a beater.
There was no need for me to get fully dressed yet seeing how I didn’t plan on doing anything but sleeping while Saniyah was at the spa.
We’d had a long night last night, and I knew with what I had planned tonight, it would be even longer. So, I was going to need my rest.
I made my way in the living room to find Crue dressed and sitting on the couch. I was just about to speak when Saniyah walked in wearing an orange sundress. The way her ass looked in that dress had me wanting to take it off of her and fuck her right here.
“I’m ready,” she announced, smiling at both of us.
Crue stood up, already grabbing the villa keys and his phone.
The three of us walked out the door and made the peaceful walk through the resort all the way to the spa.
When we walked through the doors, the spa was so beautiful that I wished I would have booked a massage for my damn self.
Saniyah kissed us both goodbye and went into the back to begin her appointment.
Crue and I had just walked back inside the villa when his phone rang. He pulled it out of his pocket then looked at me, telling me it was Dez. He answered it, placing the call on speaker so that we could both hear.
“What you got for me, Dez?”
“So, I was able to confirm that the emails are not coming directly from Derrick Lawson. He was indeed in that building when it exploded.”
Crue looked up at me, clearly confused, and so was I. My jaw tightened as I waited to see what Dez was going to say next.
“Now, I’m not saying that the person that sent the email isn’t connected to Lawson, but it wasn’t him. I was able to trace the original email route, however. I’m still unsure about who it belongs to.”
“Then what the fuck did you trace?” Crue asked.
“I traced the originating server location, muthafucka. I’m still working on the actual owner behind the account.”
“How long will that take?” I asked.
“I’m not sure. It took a lot for me to be able to get the location,” Dez answered.
“What’s the location?” Crue asked, clearly annoyed.
“Miami,” Dez replied. I heard him typing on his keyboard in the background before he spoke again. “It’s backed by a server farm, so I should be able to track the method of payment. That will give me a name. Give me a day and I should have something.”
Crue agreed and ended the call. For a moment, we just stood there, not saying a word, both in deep thought.
I knew the type of man that Derrick Lawson was, and I knew that he had a lot of people behind him that would want to avenge his death.
However, there was no way anyone could know it was us. I made sure to cover our tracks.
“This is some bullshit; we need to find out who’s behind this. How the fuck are we supposed to keep her safe if we don’t even know where the threat is coming from?” Crue asked, looking at me seriously.
“We just have to wait. What we do know for sure is that she’s safe right now.
Nobody can touch her here. Dez said that we will know tomorrow, so until then, we are going to do the only thing we can do.
Wait. Meanwhile, we gon’ have some fun while we do it.
I would suggest you get some rest while Saniyah is at the spa. I have plans for us tonight.”
For a moment, Crue just looked at me. I knew he was pissed.
I was too, but I knew there was nothing we could do now.
So, we were going to save this energy for when we had a name.
I turned around and made my way to my room.
Even though I knew we would all sleep together every night, everyone still had their own room.
Stripping down to my boxers, I got in bed and went to sleep.
I woke up several hours later when Crue walked in, telling me that Saniyah was done at the spa. He let me know that he was going to get her, and I told him that I just needed to brush my teeth, and I would walk with him. He agreed, and we were out the door within five minutes.
Saniyah was at the door of the spa when we walked up, looking absolutely beautiful. Her skin was glowing, and her hair had been curled to perfection. I walked over to her, kissing her and letting her know how good she looked. She kissed Crue as well, and we all walked back to the villa.
“I’m tired as hell. I know we said we wouldn’t sleep this vacation away, but I need a little nap before we do anything else,” Saniyah announced before walking off to her room.
It was still early, and the plans I had for us wouldn’t begin until later tonight, so she had several hours to rest up.
Meanwhile, I walked down to the front desk to see if they could help me with a few things.
I wanted to make tonight special for us all, but first, I needed to make sure we would all be ready.
After having the front desk call me a car, I made my way to a store to get us all matching outfits for tonight.
I knew we had just gone shopping the day before, but tonight was different.
When I made it back to the resort, it was a little after six.
The moment I walked inside the villa, I called room service and ordered dinner, letting them know to set it up on the balcony.
Crue and Saniyah were cuddled up on the couch, watching a movie.
She stood up when she saw me, walking over and kissing me.
I greeted Crue and then told them dinner would arrive in about thirty minutes. I used that time to take a shower.
By the time I arrived on the balcony, the servers had just finished setting up for dinner.
I ordered steak and lobster, along with garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus, and bread.
Soft music played through the speakers as we ate.
The sun began to set, casting a beautiful glow over the water, giving us an amazing view.
When dinner was over, I told Crue and Saniyah to get dressed, letting them know that their clothes were already laid out in their rooms.
Crue looked at me, one of his eyebrows raised. “What you got up your sleeve, Kadeem?”
“You’ll see. Just go get dressed.”
He chuckled a bit before walking to his room.
Since I had already gotten in the shower, I was able to take my time getting dressed.
I dressed in a pair of black Balmain shorts with a matching black Balmain button up.
I got Crue the same outfit to wear so that he would match me.
I finished my look off with a gold Rolex, gold Cuban link chain, and a pair of buffs.
After putting on my shoes and spraying myself with cologne, I was ready.
I walked into the living room and went directly to the bar and made myself a drink. Crue walked into the living room about five minutes after I did. I was still standing at the bar, so I made him a drink as well.
“You gon’ tell me what we doing tonight?”
“Nope, it’s still a surprise. Just know we gon’ have a good time. You will find out soon enough, just relax,” I replied.
Several moments later, Saniyah stepped into the living room, looking like an entire meal.
She wore a black mini dress that was fitted at her breasts.
It was open at the sides and cut low in the back.
She wore a pair of six-inch stiletto sandals that accentuated her long legs.
The gold jewelry she wore set the look off just right.
I wasn’t sure what type of perfume she was wearing, but she smelled good enough to eat.
I poured her a glass of champagne and handed it to her.
This was our first night going out on the town in Turks and Caicos, and I was sure it was going to be a night to remember.
I’d ordered us a car service for the night through the front desk, and they were scheduled to be here in twenty minutes.
We mingled in the living room, sipping from our glasses and listening to music, as we waited.
The black SUV pulled up on time, and the three of us got inside, ready to begin our night.
