🚨Surprise POV🚨 Let's see what is really going through Brandon's head🥺

My thoughts run 100 miles per hour as I pull up into my yard, not knowing what to do about the shit with Drummer. He's my nigga, true enough, but I can't believe it was so damn easy for him to tell me to throw my life away. Brushing my thoughts away, I walk into my house and see bags of clothes sitting on the floor.

"CHANEL! CHANEL!!! Where you at?" I yell as I jog upstairs and see her packing. "Where the hell you think you going?" I ask, snatching the clothes from her hands and putting them back into the drawer.

"I'm leaving. I don't think we can continue to live together and act like we're in love when you're actually in love with my best friend and won't even admit it! We haven't talked about it since the night Drummer mentioned it! I wouldn't have even known if he didn't say anything."

"Okay, Chanel, I admit it! I do love Milani, but we'll never be anything more than friends. You know I love you and want to be with you! I've had a long day and I don't want to argue."

Chanel ignores me and continues to pack her bags then carries them downstairs, grabbing her car keys.

"Chanel, can you sit down so we can talk? I really need to explain what happened at Drummer's house. It's serious as hell and you need to know about it because it involves you."

Without a word, Chanel tries to walk out of the door, but I close it and stand in front of it. "I'm tired of babying you, Chanel. Sit yo ass down and listen to what the fuck I gotta say right fucking now."

Chanel bucks her eyes as she walks over to the couch and sits down, crossing her legs and folding her arms. "What do you want to talk about, Brandon?"

"I know I'm probably going to lose you after this, but you have to know the truth. The person blackmailing Drummer forced him to take care of his first baby mama, Princess. She was staying at his house and kept coming on to me. While we were having sex, Drummer and Milani came home and caught us. I felt bad and Drummer explained that when he got arrested in Vegas he made a deal with a shady lawyer. He had to either agree to testify against me in court or go to prison for almost killing the nigga Milani slept with. He came up with a plan to save his ass, but what he wants me to do is fucked up. I lied and told him how I understand what he did, but I don't. I'll never understand how he can betray someone so easily. If he can do it to me, he can do it to anyone."

"Y-you cheated on me?" Chanel asks, her voice cracking as tears roll down her face. She quickly wipes them away, trying to be strong, but I know she's heartbroken.

Nodding my head, I avoid her gaze by looking at the floor. "I'm sorry, but that's not the point of all this. The point is that Drummer wants me to lie and confess to killing Tony because the blackmailer said they'd go public with what we did to Tony and his boys if he didn't take care of Princess. He wants to tell the lawyer bitch a story about me killing Tony and the three of you will testify against me. The lawyer already has evidence about me selling drugs and shit so I'm going to prison regardless."

Hopping up from the couch, Chanel wraps her arms around me and cries into my chest, confusing me.

"Why are you crying?" I ask, making her look into my eyes.

"I just feel so bad! Drummer is literally manipulating your abandonment issues and making you think you deserve to go to prison for sleeping with his baby mama. That's not true at all. You deserve so much more, baby. I'm so pissed at you right now, but this is killing me. I don't want you to go to prison! I can't let you do that to yourself."

Wrapping my arms around Chanel, I rub the back of her head until she calms down. "Listen to me, if there's one thing I don't deserve, it's you. I'm not worth your love and I've made my mistakes so I have to deal with that. I know exactly what Drummer is doing to me and I've never wanted to cut ties with him until tonight. Something about the way he wants me to give up my life so he can survive doesn't sit right with me. Milani came up with a better plan that I'll tell you about later. I think we've talked about enough drama for the night. Please, just stay the night with me."

"I forgive you for cheating, Brandon, because I need you to forgive me for something too." Chanel says lowly.

"Tell me, baby." I say, getting worried.

Chanel bites her lip nervously before blowing out a hard breath then speaking, "I'm the one blackmailing Drummer. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. I even had my cousins help me. I let them call his phone with tasks. It took months to plan it all out. I paid people to do research on him then paid them to keep quiet. I made sure to gather all his deepest, darkest secrets and work towards making him pay for his shitty behavior. When he mentioned your new car, he was right. I had my cousins fix it so it could be driven and let them shoot at Drummer. I don't want you to tell him it was me, but just know I'll never go public about what we did. I only said that to make him take care of Princess because he fucked her life up real bad. I've met her and she's a sweet girl. She didn't deserve what he did."

My mouth drops open as I cover my face with my hand, slowly spinning around in a circle and mouthing "wowwwww". This shit is the shock of the motherfucking century.

"Say something, Brandon. Please! Don't be mad! I know I had him do some terrible things and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made him shoot Hazel, but I knew that would be the only way, he'd fall out with his dad. After I paid a few people and asked around about Niyah's death and Princess's addiction, I knew her parents needed to know the truth so I made that happen. I also found Princess on the streets and paid her to do what I said which was go to Drummer's house at a certain time. I was watching and didn't know he'd shoot her. I couldn't reveal myself so I let him handle it. I've watched him do every task. That's why I've been acting so weird, sneaking out at all times, and leaving the room to take phone calls. I never wanted you to find out." Chanel mumbles, barely loud enough for me to hear.

"I can't believe this shit. There has to be another reason why you did it. Why would you go out of your way to sabotage him?" I say as I sit down on the couch.

"Honestly, I did it because he deserved it. He deserved everything that happened to him because he's a terrible person. All he does is hurt people and gets whatever he wants. He manipulates you and everyone around him. You're too amazing of a man to be treated that way by him. I was sick and fucking tired of him acting like he's the boss of everyone. He thinks he can treat people any kind of way and not get it back in return. It's like everyone is blind to his manipulative tricks, but I see the truth. The person he has fooled the most is Milani. She's so in love that she can't see how bad he is for her. She'll never prosper in life with him around so I tried to destroy him for your sake and hers."

Thinking for a minute, I realize that Chanel is right about Drummer. Every time I thought I was making up for my mistakes by helping him, he was manipulating me. He's never been a friend to me and I hate I didn't realize it sooner.

"Brandon, are you mad at me?"

"Nah, I'm not. You did that shit for the right reasons and that's all that matters to me. You made Drummer realize that his actions have consequences. I just hope he learned his lesson and doesn't hurt Milani more than he already has. I won't be around to find out though because after tonight, I'm done fucking with him. I put that on my mama. The only person in my corner is you and Ima always ride for you, baby."

Grabbing Chanel's hand, I walk her upstairs with me and kiss her lips.

"So what now?" She asks, joining me in bed.

"Now we pin the blackmailing on Ariyah to keep them from finding out it was you. Once we do that, all I'll have to worry about are my drug charges."

"Oh, don't worry about those. I'll handle it."

Bucking my eyes, I start to ask about how she's gonna do that, but I hold my hands up in surrender; not even wanting to know the truth.

"I love you, Chanel. Thank you for everything. I promise from here on out that I'll never cheat again. I'll be all about you forever. You still wanna marry me?"

" I love you too, Brandon and hell yeah. We've been through a lot of shit, but we'll get through it all. We can get married as soon as all the drama has died down. For now, let's just worry about how we'll pin it on Ariyah."

Nodding my head, I pull her into me and kiss her lips passionately; holding her face in my palms. She moans then leans her head to the side giving me access to suck and softly lick on her neck. She stops me to pull her dress over her head and I do the same with my shirt.

"Mmm. No bra?" I smile and she shakes her head side to side.

Chanel plunges her hand into my pants as I suck and nibble on her breasts, kissing down to her panties then pulling them off with my teeth. My breath fans against her other set of lips as I spread them open, revealing her budding clit.

"That shit so pretty, baby." I moan as I pick her up and hold her over my face. "Ride my face." I demand then stick my tongue out.

She grinds her clit onto my tongue and thrusts her hips around, reaching out to grab my head as she moans loudly; her juices running down my chin.

"Mmmm yessss! Fuck!" She groans as her body begins to shakes and she orgasms all over my tongue.

I quickly lay her down on the bed then we get into the 69 position. Her warm mouth slides down my dick slowly as I devor her pussy, tongue fucking her forcefully. She moans loudly and I grunt hard as she massages my balls while sucking my dick.

Our moans and grunts fill the room as we make each other cum then I make her stand up on the floor, touching her toes. Stroking my hard dick, I rub it up and down her wet slit until she's moaning.

"Tell me you want it." I demand, slapping my dick against her clit.

"I WANT IT!!! GIVE IT TO ME, BRANDON!"

Granting her wish, I ram into her as she braces herself, grabbing the bed and holding on. I thrust my hips upwards, making my balls slap against her thighs and my dick hit her g-spot. The two of us moan loudly as we talk each other through our orgasms. By the time we're finished, Chanel is walking like a penguin and I'm too tired to go shower. We both lay in the bed and I pull her to me, kissing her forehead before letting her bury her face in my chest.

"I love you, baby." I whisper in her ear.

"I love you more." She whispers back before drifting off to sleep.
