Chapter sixty eight The boss

A few minutes later they enter the house and Caleb spots Maya busy at work with some decorations. His mom had told him that she invited her to the wedding like everyone else, not to come over and insert herself in his family's business. What the hell did this girl want from him? And what exactly is she after? He thought walking towards her.

"What are you doing here?" Caleb demands of his pregnant girlfriend who seems to be doing ten things at once. "Easy panther, I didn't drive myself here, I took a taxi." "Why are you here this early and what the hell are you doing?" he asks annoyed. "Well I offer to help with the decorations everyone is so busy and there are tons of things to do before the wedding." She said rubbing her back.

"All of which is none of your concern, my family can handle this." He snaps. "But I want to help." She pouts then turns to Ty who had just walked over to them. "How are Janice and Tyrique doing?" She asks. "Okay for now," "She is getting big." He said pointing to her belly. "What's her name?" He asks.

"Analee Amanda Jackson." She replied with a bright smile. "Maybe you should take a break and rest," Ty suggests. "I'll do that soon but right now Caleb you need to put the video equipment in one of your cousin's cars so he can take it over to the hospital and set it up."

"I know what I need to do Maya." He snaps again because she was acting like the boss of things. Who does this girl think she was anyway? They can do just fine without her help.

"Okay, then I'll….." "The only thing you'll be going is marching over to that chair and planting your rump in it." He orders before she could finish and seeing the veins in his cheeks throbbing, she knows he was getting angry, so she decides to comply with his request and went over to the chair but what was really pissing him off was the fact that he and his friend has been digging for dirt on this girl for days and still can't come up with anything that would make his parents call off this damn engagement, great, just bloody great

"And you," He said turning to Tyler who was busy texting on his phone. "You need to get some breakfast, get a bath, and get some sleep." He orders again. "Yes sir," Ty said stifling a laugh and heading towards the kitchen.

"Was that another one of his episodes?" Keith asks in concern as Mr. Steven ran his hands over his face in exhaustion. "No, that was a panic attack brother." He answers tiredly. "What brought it on?" Keith asks. "The fact that he might still lose his wife to be and his unborn child." "Damn, I've seen the way he is with this girl, he really loves her," Keith observes. "This really can't be easy for him." Keith sighs heavily.

"Not easy, is putting it mildly brother; just the thought of losing them sends him into a full-blown panic attack, he couldn't breathe or speak, it's just so hard to watch him suffer like this and not be able to help him." Mr. Steven said.

"But you're helping him, bro, by being here for him whenever he needs you, we all wish we could do more but apart from being there for him all we can do is pray; so is he sleeping?" "Yeah, and I really wish I didn't have to wake him, but seeing as though he will be getting married in two hours I don't have a choice." Mr. Steven moans. "Alright then, let's go get something to eat first, and then we'll give him the best wedding in the history of weddings." Keith suggests.

Caleb's head was bobbing back and forth as he moved his body to the rhythm of one of his favorite Vybz Kartel's songs while he waits for Tyler to exit his bathroom; he mouths the words and spins and noticed Ty's phone lighting up, he went over and saw an unknown number flashing on the screen; he picks it up and answers it thinking that it may be about the wedding.

"I know you hate me- but please- this may be the only chance I get to call for help; please give this number to the police and let them trace it please, I need your help." She pleads in a faint voice. It took Caleb all of ten seconds to realize that it was Kayla who was talking to him and he would be damned if he was going to let her ruin his brother's wedding day, so without even thinking about it he ends the call just as Ty enter the bedroom.

"Who was that?" He asks laying his jacket on the bed and putting on his gold cuff links. "Wrong number," Caleb replied without looking at him. He was about to erase the number when the phone rang again, and he breathe a sigh of relief as Janice's number appear on the screen. "Are you going to give me my phone or just stand there and stare at it?" Ty asks annoyed. "Oh yeah, sorry," Caleb mumbles handing Ty the phone. "Hi kitten, are you alright?" He asks in concern.

"I'm fine; I'm just pinching myself because I still can't believe we are actually getting married in a few hours, I'm afraid I'm going to wake up and realize that it was all a dream." She said in her soft sweet whisper that he had grown to love so much. "Well to be honest I feel the same because never in my life have I ever moved on to another woman so fast after a breakup." He said spraying some of her favorite perfume on his neck.

"Normally it would've taken me at least a few years to get over my ex but right now I feel like if I had to wait another day to make you my wife I would literally scream." He chuckles as he slips on his sliver Gucci watch. "Okay, then I guess you had better hurry up and get here." She laughs. "You don't have to tell me twice, I love you." "Love you too, see you soon?" It was more of a question than a statement. "Very soon," He laughs and turns to Caleb. "Well don't just stand there man, let's go." He said grabbing his jacket and heading towards the door.
