"She's home boss," Dave heard through the phone. Rex was giving him an update on Naala.

"Keep her there Rex, I'm gonna be home soon," Dave ordered.

"Her sister is in there with her, I doubt they're leaving," Rex informed him. They wrapped up on the phone and hung up.

"Checking in on wifey?" One of the women in his section asked.

"Get off me," Dave mugged moving her hand. "Priest we gotta go man,"

Priest huffed and pushed the girl on his lap off. He leaned down and kissed her before him and Dave left the club together.

"I was enjoying her," Priest grumbled when they got into the car.

"I can tell," Dave nodded. "You're cheating on Bri?" He asked looking at him.

"Brianna never stops fucking whining," Priest complained. "She's always comparing herself to some other bitch, like why you can't do that for me," Priest mocked her.

"I'm happy Naala is never on shit like that," Dave shook his head.

"Cuz you spoil the shit out of her. If she didn't want to be with you no more, she would have to leave behind all the things you do for her," Priest answered.

"Y'all need to stop with this narrative. Naala has her own money," Dave defended her,

"But she'd rather use yours. There ain't nothing wrong with it nigga but that's why she stays with you," Priest held his hands up.

"You don't know shit. Carry on cheating on your wife and stay out of me and mines business," Dave spoke angrily.

"Whatever man, you too damn sensitive," Priest mumbled.

"Shut the fuck up. Matter of fact, find your own way home," Dave replied. He tapped Chris and told him to drop Priest off at the hotel.

"You a bitch," Priest mugged Dave,

"I'm a bitch that's about to leave you," Dave chuckled bringing out his phone. Chris sped to the hotel and waited for Priest to exit the vehicle so Dave could head to the airport.

"Bitch," Priest said getting out of the car and slamming the door.

Dave nodded and dialled Naala's number, she answered on the last ring.

"Hey," Naala spoke lightly. "How was the show?"

"It was alright, I'm back at my hotel now," Dave lied looking out of the window. "You okay?"

"Mmm, I miss you," Naala sighed, there was more to what she wanted to say but it would be too much over the phone.

"I miss you too baby, how you getting ready for tomorrow?" Dave questioned,

"I'm not. I hate birthdays, you know that," Naala replied.

"Love, are you sure you're okay? You want me to come home?" Dave said with concern. There was a long pause on the phone before Dave's ear was filled with Naala's light sniffles.

"I need you," Naala cried lightly. "But I don't want you to leave because of me,"

"What's going on? Baby stop crying," He said looking at the time. His jet was ready to leave anyway but now he was worried.

"I'm having anxiety," She answered through her tears. "I don't feel safe here without you and I'm not comfortable. My mom came by and took the kids and now I'm on my own,"

Dave asked Miani to take the kids for the night and the next day, to give them some time together alone.

"Rex and Mason are with you." Dave reasoned with her.

"You're not listening to me," Naala muttered. "I'm going to stay with my sister. You've left me in this big ass house all on my own and you're telling me Rex and Mason are with you," Naala fussed.

Dave scrunched up his face, she went from crying to cussing him out in 0.5 seconds.

"You're an idiot Amir, get off my phone," Naala hung up making him more confused.

Dave called back and Naala picked up,

"Naala what's the matter with you? I'm working, you knew I was gonna be away," Dave started on her,

"I'm not gonna take you being rude to me for no reason. You can go by your moms or stay with Naleli, I haven't locked you in the house," He finished.

"Stop shouting at me," Naala cried out, "All I mean is that I miss you and you're not here. I don't want my mom or Naleli, I want you,"

Dave started to feel bad but he didn't let that show. Naala constantly switched on him for no reason and it was becoming more prominent over the past few weeks.

"I'm your wife and I feel alone can't you just understand that?" Naala sniffed.

"I'm trying baby but I have to work," Dave answered. "You got your period yet?" He asked dropping subtle hints for her to get a test.

"No, stop trying to change the subject. Don't even bother coming home Amir, I'm serious." Naala said lowly.

"Whatchu mean? So now I can't come home?" Dave mumbled as they pulled up to the hanger.

"You clearly have something better to do. Whatever bitch your fucking out there, I hope it's worth it," Naala said, her voice breaking.

"Don't start accusing me of shit Love," Dave shook his head. "I'm about to hang up if you keep on,"

"Whatever Amir, leave me alone. Don't call me tomorrow or any day after that." Naala said hanging up once more.

"Fuck me," Dave grumbled putting his phone in his hoodie pocket.

"Princess is a handful huh?" Chris laughed unlocking the doors.

"It's like having another baby," Dave said getting out of the car.

"I won't tell her you said that," Chris chuckled. He gave the keys to the men at the hanger and then escorted Dave to the jet.

Back in Manhattan, Naala and Naleli were cuddled up watching Scandal. Naala's head was in Naleli's lap as she ran her hands through her hair.

"It's your birthday in a few hours," Naleli spoke to Naala, her eyes still on the screen.

"I don't care," Naala mumbled with her eyes closed. "And stop saying yours, it's ours," Naala added

"I've never liked birthdays, it's not my thing," Naleli replied with a shrug.

"It can be our thing," Naala answered, "We can spend the day together,"

"Is this your way of avoiding him?" Naleli questioned playing with Naala's hair.

"I keep disappointing him Leli, the one thing I'm meant to do, I can't," Naala expressed. "With Hassan it was so easy, Samar came so easily but now I can't do it,"

"When the time is right, it will happen for you both," Naleli advised. "There's no rush, stop being so hard on yourself. You're literally superwoman,"

"I'm not," Naala sighed. This was weighing on her heavy and she still hadn't gotten the results back from Dr Reece.

"You've been through enough La, if he doesn't understand that you need some time then he doesn't love you like he says he does," Naleli continued. Naala nodded and held onto her sister tighter.

"Yeah, you're right," Naala agreed. "What do you want to do tomorrow?"

"I've never done this before," Naleli said awkwardly. "We've spent our birthdays apart for most our life, I don't know what you want to do,"

"Maybe a spa day?" Naala suggested,

"You have a spa downstairs, there is no need for us to leave the house for that," Naleli laughed,

"Let's go to Cabo," Naala sat up. "I want to go to Cabo, for the day,"

"Dave said no travelling La," Naleli reminded her. Everywhere was still hot for them and travelling would draw unnecessary attention.

"He doesn't rule my life," Naala frowned deeply. "I've got the jet, let's go now,"

Naala was behaving impulsively, a sign of her being off. Probably because she was having issues with Dave.

"I'll go wherever you wanna go but talk to him first Naala," Naleli suggested. The last thing she wanted was for Naala's husband to blame her for them leaving the country.

"I'm not talking to him about nothing, we're going," Naala said firmly standing to her feet. "I'm gonna pack," She spoke leaving Naleli in the movie room.

"Do I call him or not?" Naleli mumbled to herself. "Leli do the right thing," She coached herself dialling Dave's number.

"What's happened? Is she okay?" Dave bombarded her with questions.

"Calm down weirdo," Naleli said playing with the hem of her shirt. "I was calling to tell you we're flying out,"

"To where? She doesn't need to be leaving the country Naleli," Dave responded,

"It's our birthday and she wants to spend it on vacation, I can't stop her," Naleli said carelessly.

"What country?" Dave asked. His jet hadn't left the tarmac so he would simply meet them there.

"Cabo, don't even think of turning up. She needs a break from you," Naleli ordered.

"What have I done now?" Dave huffed,

"What haven't you done? We won't be gone for long, just a night or two," Naleli shrugged standing up.

"Naleli you can't take my wife to a different country, I can't let you do that." Dave spoke. "Is she there? Lemme speak to her,"

"She's my sister, I can do whatever the hell I like," Naleli laughed.

"I'ma see y'all there because I don't know what you think this is," Dave replied. He had already signalled to the pilot and the destination had already changed.

"Why are you so irritating?" Naleli complained hanging up. Now she was regretting calling him.

"Lala," She called out leaving the movie room,

"I'm all packed," Naala said out of breath, Mason was behind her dragging all her bags.

"You were already packed," Naleli raised a brow,

"I was going, with or without you," Naala said softly, she felt like she needed this break too.

"Why do you want to go so bad?" Naleli questioned her.

"It's our 30th birthday Leli," Naala smiled brightly.

"I may have told your husband where we were going," Naleli spilled, there was no need for her to lie. Naala stopped walking and turned around.

"Why would you do that?" Naala said angrily. "You're the one always telling me to live my life and stop letting him rule me,"

"Because you're submissive. You literally let him tell you what to do." Naleli responded, with a blank look.

"No I don't. I wanted this one thing Naleli," Naala huffed dropping her bags, she didn't even want to go anymore.

"You do. He wants to move to Brooklyn, you do it. He wants another baby, you kill yourself —"

"Don't do that," Naala spoke quickly. "You know how that makes me feel, don't bring that up,"

"You need to grow the hell up Naala. I'm your sister and I love you but you can't keep expecting people to baby you through life. You are not a victim anymore, snap out of it," Naleli snapped at her.

Naala tucked her lips in and nodded, "I'll be in the car," She said walking away.

"Now I'm the bad guy," Naleli lifted her hands up in anger.

"Am I taking you home?" Mason asked Naleli opening the door for her.

"Just quickly," Naleli mumbled getting into the car beside Naala. Naala didn't even budge when Naleli sat beside her, she carried on staring out of the window.

"It's room 203 boss," Mason informed Dave on the room Naala checked in to.

"Thank you," Dave said before pressing for the elevator. "Book out all the rooms on that floor and above it," He instructed Mason.

"Will do sir," Mason nodded just as the elevator doors closed. Dave had arrived in Cabo about 2 hours after the twins. He meant it when he said he was meeting them there.

Dave knocked on the door lightly and waited for her to open it. When she didn't, he took the key out of his pocket and swiped it across the door, letting himself in.

Naala was asleep with her back to the door, hence why she didn't come to the door when he knocked.

Dave focused on getting himself ready for bed, stripping out of his clothes and taking of all his chains.

When he was done, he climbed into the bed beside her and put his arms around her waist, bringing her closer. He kissed down the back of her neck softly, rubbing his hands up and down her thighs.

He shuffled down the bed and under the comforter, getting in between her legs. Kissing her thighs, he tried to wake her up slowly.

"Love?" He spoke poking her stomach. Naala stirred but she didn't wake fully.

Dave shook his head, he had no other choice. Tugging at her panties, he got them down and used his finger to trace her slit.

Naala shivered in her sleep and began to wake up, mostly in fear because she wasn't expecting anyone else in the room.

"It's just me," Dave said kissing her stomach. "Happy birthday," He added licking his lips at her.

"Stop it and get off me," Naala muttered sitting up. "Why are you here?"

"Because it's your birthday, I wasn't not going to spend it with you," Dave expressed before continue to kiss her thighs and play with her clit.

"Mmhm," Naala moaned pushing his head away. "You can't bribe me with sex,"

"So you don't want me to?" Dave asked rubbing himself against her. He pressed himself onto her but didn't go all the way in, teasing her.

"I do," Naala nodded through a moan. "Hurry up before I change my mind," She spread her legs further out.

"I wanna take my time," Dave smirked. He slid into her properly, making both of them suck in a breath.

Dave made sure to go slow but hit her spot repeatedly. "Wait," Naala moaned throwing her head back into the pillows.

"Ain't no waiting today," Dave smirked speeding up. Naala held on him with her legs wrapped around his waist tightly.

"Still got that attitude?" Dave asked holding her hands up above her head.

"No Mir I don't," Naala panted. Her eyes were rolling to the back of her head.

"I think you do," Dave answered lifting her legs up so they were on top of his shoulders.

"Oh my God," Naala cried out, tears springing from the corner of her eyes. "I'm sorry," She added.

Dave leaned down and kissed her, slipping his tongue into her mouth. Naala moaned into the kiss, before looking down to see him going in and out of her.

"You're close?" Dave asked when her legs started to shake and her moans got louder.

"Yes, right there," Naala gasped breathlessly. Dave slowed down and then sped quickly sending her into a frenzy.

"You love me?" He taunted tightening his grip on her thighs.

"I love you so much," She moaned before she came for the first time that night. Dave carried on pumping in and out of her while she came.

"Let me get on top," Naala breathed out getting up. Dave laid back and let her do her thing. At her own pace, Naala planted her feet on the bed and slid down on him, pausing to adjust herself.

"Mmm," Naala moaned using his thighs to balance on. Dave started to match her strokes but slowly began overpowering her. Naala didn't like that, she was never in control.

"Stop," Naala panted before she started to roll her hips faster. Dave didn't stop her, he let her take control until he realised she couldn't cope any more.

He flipped them over and laid her on her back, using the head of his dick to tap against her clit before sliding back into her.

"Amir," Naala whined clutching onto the sheets beneath them. He leaned over and pulled her nipple into his mouth, gently sucking on it.

Naala felt herself growing wetter as he carried on thrusting her while paying attention to the rest of her body.

"Shit," Dave mumbled to himself. Naala could feel that he was reaching his peak from the feeling of his dick grow inside of her.

He leaned down and placed kisses all over her face moving to her ear. The mixture of his strokes and touch, caused Naala's moans to intensify.

She heard him curse in her ear before they came together, her orgasm running through her entire body.

"Happy birthday," Dave repeated kissing the side of her face. Naala smiled and brought his face down towards her,

"I still haven't forgiven you for the way you spoke to me," Naala spoke, her voice was hoarse because of the excessive moaning.

"I'm sorry," Dave told her rubbing her ass. "I didn't want to ruin the surprise. I was always coming home,"

"It made me upset," Naala stated the obvious, tracing his tattoos on chest. "Especially because there's something I need to tell you,"

"Talk to me," Dave said tiredly,

"I've been seeing Dr Reece and she's been giving me hormone pills. My egg count is low, too low to have babies naturally," Naala summed it up for him.

Dave listened carefully rubbing her back soothingly as she spoke.

"I took a pregnancy test yesterday and we're still waiting for the results. I didn't tell you because I know how much you wanted this," Naala finished closing her eyes.

"You thought I would be mad? I'm mad that you went through all this on your own. We're meant to go through shit like that together," Dave answered before yawning.

"I've got you Naala, no matter the result," He added. He kissed the top of her head repeatedly making Naala smile lightly.

"You're tired go to sleep," Naala said after hearing him yawn once more.

Dave nodded and pulled her in closer, his face nestled in her neck. "I love you," He spoke kissing her neck.

"Mmm, I love you too," Naala replied adjusting herself on his chest. She waited till his breathing slowed down,

"Bae," Naala whispered tapping his face. She tapped him several times and when she was sure he was asleep, she got out of his hold.

"Pussy put his dumb ass to sleep," Naala mumbled reaching over to grab his phone from the nightstand. She unlocked it and sat beside him, going through his messages.

Naala saw a few messages between him and Trinity, mainly her complaining that he doesn't see Mariah enough.

"Girl," Naala straight faced the screen when she read through their messages. His phone started ringing and Naala panicked.

"Hello?" She answered quickly putting the phone to her ear.

"Oh you answer his phone too," Chanel's shrill voice rang. Naala rolled her eyes and moved further away from Dave.

"What do you want?" Naala asked with attitude,

"To speak to my brother," Chanel replied with the same attitude.

"He's asleep, I can take a message?" Naala asked with fake concern.

"Y'all finished fucking and now he's sleep? You really don't respect yourself," Chanel chuckled. Naala heard background noise meaning she was with her pet, Brianna.

"Yep and when he wakes up I might fuck him so good he buys me an estate," Naala said glancing down at her nails.

"Bitch give my brother the phone," Chanel snapped at her. Naala laughed and hung up on her,

"Why hasn't he done it yet?" Naala said lowly grabbing her own phone to send Kyle a message.

"Put my phone down," Dave mumbled making Naala jump. "I thought we were working on trust," He spoke opening one eye.

"I needed it for something," Naala lied locking it.

"Sure, you not tired anymore?" Dave asked putting his arm over her waist.

"Nope," Naala said softly. "I wanna have sex," She added moving her hands down to his dick.

"Not now Love, get some sleep," Dave said closing his eyes again. He had a long day of performing and all he wanted to do right now was sleep.

"Hm," Naala huffed laying back down properly. "It's my birthday though," She turned her head to look at him.

"It's also past 3am," Dave pointed out. Naala blew out a breath and threw her hands down in anger.

"But I —" She was cut off by his loud snore filling the room. She mugged the side of his face for about 2 minutes till she realised he wasn't going to wake up.

Out of frustration, she closed her own eyes and forced herself to sleep.
