A Surprising End

   After a crazy fun night, the two women wake up from a deep peaceful slumber. The sun is glistening through the window, hugging the bed and window pane. Even Sixx is sound asleep in his little bed. Each grab for their phones to see if they missed any calls, text messages, or emails that could be important.

   "Damn! We must've been tired as shit! What time is it?" Shanell asks.

   Mel looks at the clock and it reads a quarter after two. "Well there goes our morning. Bitch it's after two!" Both women slide out of bed and walk to the bathrooms to freshen up. Feeling minty fresh they carry on light conversation, recapping their night they had before. They start taking out dishes and begin prepping to cook a quick meal.

   Gypsy starts to fry up the turkey bacon as Mel gets the eggs ready to scramble. Seeing that his mommy is having fun, Sixx tries to cut in. He brings his raw hide bone to her feet.

   "Aww! You want mommy to make you breakfast too?" she asks.

   "Bark, bark!" The let out a laugh as Sixx begins to bounce around. Mel goes to the pantry and pulls out the Beggin' Strips so that it looks like they cooked him some food as well. After enjoying their brunch, they head back to the room to get ready for the surprise event.


-


   "It is now fifteen minutes til five and the show starts at seven. Finally dressed, they're ready to walk out the door. "Sixx get in your house." Shanell motions for him to get into the carrier. She zips the front halfway closed and they are off to the Convention Center. Thirty minutes late, they pull up at the door leading to where the models were. Mel puts her bags down and starts to set up shop so she can get the models make up ready. Shanell is escorted to her seat and served two Appletinis with cherries and bits of sour apple. Wondering who's fashion show this was, she lets Sixx out of his carrier and places him into her lap. Little did she know, there was a bigger surprise in store for her.

   Moments later more people begin to show up and light banter begins to fill the room. Now minutes til showtime the announcer begins to start as the lights are dimmed:

"Ladies and gentlemen. Get ready to be dazzled by a fantasy 

so great, you wouldn't want to leave.....!"

   The music cues and to Gypsy's surprise she heard her own voice! While the first set of models begin to walk the runway, "Hit the Stage" was playing. Still in shock, she starts to scan the audience to see their reaction. To her surprise they LOVED it! As the show progressed, she heard more of her music played for the models to walk to. On a musical high, she begins to dance and mouth the words. 

   It was now time for the designer to be introduced and to her great surprise "So Good" was the song chosen for that moment. The audience clapped for joy and excellence. The show was epic! The clothes and her music were getting great reviews and became the talk of the night. Walking towards the back to get Mel, she already saw Mel was packing up the car.

   "So how did you like the show?" Mel asks.

   "Liked? I LOVED it!" Shanell exclaimed. "But how did they get a hold of my music to play for this event?"

   "Well I might have slipped them a track or few" Mel motions her hands from side to side. They share a quick embrace as they get into the car and hit the town for dinner. With their bellies full, they decide to call it a night. The driver drops them off at Shanell's house. As they walk into the house, they place their things near the base of the stairs.

   "Thanks again Mel."

   "No problem girl! You deserved it, plus you needed to clear your mind" Mel gives her a big hug. "Well I got to go. I have to fly out tomorrow morning"

   "Aww, okay! Have fun in L.A., I will be there soon!" Gypsy walks Mel to her car and watches as she drives off safely. Getting ready to turn around and head back into the house, she sees a mysterious car parked across the street. Trying to think nothing of it, she continues back into the house.

-

   The next morning, Gypsy woke up feeling better than ever. She let out a big yawn and stretched her limbs as far as she could. She plopped back into the bed to lay for a few moments before deciding to feed her growling stomach. As she hits the last step, she notices that the front door is cracked open. She goes to close it, but looks confused. 'I could've sworn I closed it last night' ran through her mind. She goes to open the refrigerator and decides she just wants a cup of orange juice and an apple. However, that quickly turned into a cup of orange juice and a hand made fruit salad. Finally prepared, she takes it back to her room for some morning bed and breakfast. As Gypsy goes to open the door, an unexpected visitor was sitting on her bed.

   "We meet again...!", the woman starts. It was Alyssa, the woman from the hotel room. She gets up from the bed and takes a few steps towards Shanell.

   "How the hell you got in my house?! Who are you?!" Shanell yells as she backs up a few paces.

   "Don't worry about that. Just know I'm here to get my revenge!" She tries to take a lunge at Gypsy, but misses. "You think I didn't know about the party, and that you still kept in contact with Pretty Boy?!?! I told your ass to stay away, and you just couldn't listen!" she lunges again but Gypsy dropped her food and put her into a choke hold. 

   Coincidentally, Mel pulls up in the driveway. She forgot her make up kits at the bottom of the stairway. Hearing the commotion as she got closer to the front door, she rushes in while dialing 911.

   "Bitch, I haven't seen him in MONTHS!!!" she throws Alyssa to the wall and begins to stomp her. Alyssa gets stable and catches Shanell's foot to pull her down. Just then, Mel comes up and grabs Alyssa by her hair and slams her head to the floor. She then quickly puts her into a full nelson as Gypsy throwing blows. During this, Alyssa passes out and they tie her to a chair using rope and duck tape.

   The sounds of police sirens begin to grow as they quickly pull up into the driveway. Pulling out their guns, they rush into the house. They begin to yell "Atlanta Police!" as they ran sack the house.

   "We're up here! Hurry!" They yell to get the cops' attention. When they see the girl tied up, they put their guns away as Shanell begins to tell what happened.

   "This heffa broke into my house and went postal on me! Thank god my friend Mel showed up-"

   "Yea, I'm the one who called you guys." Mel interjects.

   As they escort her out of the house, the chief policemen walks back into the foyer to have a brief word with the ladies.

   "We've been looking for this woman for months now. Good work ladies." the officer starts.

   "Thanks but I'm just happy she's in custody now." Shanell replies.

   "Yea, we got a tip on her whereabouts. So we decided to stay in the area until she showed up"

   "A tip?" Mel asks.

   "Yea, some woman and guy called in and told us that they believed she would be in this area because she had a grudge against someone who lived near here." he began to share.

   "Hmmm. Well thanks again officer." states Shanell.

   "Not a problem ladies. Have a nice day." Mel and Shanell shake his hand as he leaves back out the door. Within minutes, all of the squad cars were gone.

   The two decide to go upstairs and clean up the mess that was made from the incident.

   "Man, I can't believe that stale ass chick actually got into your house!" Mel starts as she picks up the broken glass.

   "I know! But what I can't believe is that someone called the cops prior. Like as if they KNEW she was going to break in here" Gypsy replies, as she picks up the fruit and tries to wipe up the orange juice. Once they get the room and upstairs hallway cleaned, they head to the office to do some work. Hoping to get their mind off of what just happened.

   A few hours go by and the ladies are hard at work. Gypsy checks her emails and begins to reply to them in order of priority. She sees an email from Mercedes and goes to open it. She reads it and responds back in joy. Suddenly, her phone rings. She picks it up to see who it is, and to her surprise it was Pretty Boy........

Sorry For The Wait !!

Heyyyy Gypsies and Genies!!! It's been a LONG time since an update on the crazy adventures of our Gypsy Queen Shanell, but I'm currently working on this next chapter. I promise it will blow you away!! So much has been happening and with the anticipation of Nobody's Bitch coming out, I haven't been able to sit down!! By the end of this week, a new chapter shall be posted! Thanks for all your support and feedback via twitter!!!

Ch. 20 Bittersweet

Few weeks have passed and Shanell has been nonstop with the promotion of her mixtape expected to drop this summer. Between radio appearances and shows in different cities across the nation, it's been really busy for the Gypsy Queen.

Feeling so good after the last radio interview, she's began dancing her way to the car as if she's in her ''Its The Beat'' video.

Suddenly Shanell hears a soft voice whispering her name. She turns around and she sees a shadow, but no ones there.

Feeling a bit spooked, Shanell hops in the car and yells for her driver to drive off.

Just as the driver drives off a young lady appears. "We will meet soon my sweet Shanell, and thats a promise.." she says to herself.

Shanell motions for her driver to turn up the radio as she hears the sounds of ''So Good'' on the radio. She instantly does a conference call that consists of Mack Maine, Lil Wayne, Birdman and Slim. "Turn it to hot 97" Shanell says to her fellow bosses. They all get excited to hear ''So Good'' is playing.

"We are proud of you Shanell" says Birdman. Mack says, "Thats Luv!". Lil Wayne sings, 'Baby our song is on the radio'. Slim says, "Belee dat your on your way babygirl!!"

Shanell chuckles, "Thanks guys ill catch up with y'all later then hangs up the phone."

Shanell Dances and sings along to her song. In no time Shanell arrives to Atlanta. Finally, home at last gypsy yelps out. Driver gets Shanells bags and carries them inside the house. Thanks a bunch hun. Shanell tips her driver. No thank you for the kind tip, Shanell lets off a little smile, Then sees him out the door.

As she turns around to go back in the house she hears that same voice calling out her name once again, This time Shanell looks around and still doesnt see anything so she continues to walk into the house and locks the door behind her. Behind the bushes hid the same girl from earlier.

Gypsy's phone rings, Its just so happens to be her driver. Nelly, Says Shanells driver. i just realized something, Oh Yeah? Whats up? I dont know if you noticed or not but there was a white car that followed us with a female in it. What are you saying? said Shanell, well i noticed that car was parked on the side of your house so be careful. Good looking out pimp! No doubt says the driver before he hangs up.

Shanell heads to her kitchen to make some apple martini's as Mel arrives she notices some chick in the bushes, Mel yells out bitchhhhhh, What are you doing in the bushes?

The girl gets shocked and runs off, she trips over a branch and lets out a stale fart. Mel laughs, Damn bitchhhhh you funky.

Shanell hears all the comotion and heads towards her door. Girl come in what are you tripping off of? says Shanell. Some chick was hiding in your bushes. Shanell stops in her tracks, Some what? Yeah Nelly the bitch ran off farting and shit with her stale ass. They both laugh. Nigga where your bodyguards at? Mel asked. I gave those niggas a day off. I get tired of having them around, Its for your own safety Mel explains. I know girl but it gets annoying sometimes replied Shanell.

Well im gonna stay the night over here with you anyways, I got a surprise event i want you to go to. Im all for it says the gypsy. Lets get these apple martini's popping. Giiiirl you know thats the gypsy drink. The girls sit back relax and knock back a few martini's.

As the night wines down its getting late. Shanell decides to head off to bed. Make yourself at home Mel, You know where everything is.Your welcomed to use my guess room. Mel thanks Shanell. Goodnight sis.They both head towards their rooms and instantly fall fast asleep.

Shanell tosses and turns then she jumps up out of bed after hearing sounds coming from the kitchen. Shanell heads to her closet and grabs her brother's baseball bat.

Shanell walks slowly towards the kitchen. Shanell leaps out into the kitchen, As Mel turns the lights on. They both let out a loud scream running around the kitchen. Its me Nelly, Mel yells out. You scared me to death Shanell yells out to Mel. You were about to knock my damn head off with that baseball bat yells out Mel.

They both get a drink to calm their nerves down. Thats enough scares for the day Mel Says What time is it Gypsy askes Mel its 6AM.



“Man, today has been a crazy day! First I ghear my song on the radio then I gotta watch my back from some psycho chick!” Shanell starts.

“Im saying! And it’s a stale one at that!” Mel and Gypsy burst out in laughter.

Gypsy starts to think to herself about the incident from before when she was dating Pretty Boy.

"Mel, you don't think it could be that one crazy chick from a while back...do you?" Gypsy asks.

"Chile boo, ain't that crazy. Plus you and Pretty Boy not dating anymore" Mel took a sip of her drink as she replied.

"True.." Shanell let's out a sigh. She looks at the oven clock and the time is now 6:48am.

"Oh shit! I need to take my ass to bed if I'm going to make it to the event!" Shanell downs her drink and puts the cup in the sink.

"Yea, me too! This rockstar lifestyle ain't easy!" they lightly laugh as they clean up the small mess and leave the kitchen.

Light banter follows them as they walk up the steps to their rooms. Deciding to comfort her friend, Mel spends the night in Shanell's room along with Sixx. Little did they know, the woman had returned. This time she was in her car parked right outside the house.

"Yes, my dear, our meeting will happen sooner than you think..."

Interlude

It's been a LONG, LONG, LONG time since you guys got an update on the story. Here's a little something to tie you over until the next chapter. We got a little busy, but we're back! Get ready to see the crazy adventures that our Gypsy Queen, Shanell, get into.

Gazing at the water, it seemed like all her cares and worries had become nonexistent. This moment made up for everything Wayne did. Pastel shades of orange, red, and yellow filled the sky as the sun began to set.

 Feeling like Déjà Vu Shanell turns to look at Wayne. He was too busy soaking in the ambiance; she gazed back at the sea as a small smile crept onto her face.

 "This place is breathtaking." she looks at him and begins with a calm, relaxing tone.

 "Yea, it is..." she then faces her.”...but nothing compares to you" he grabs her hand and softly kisses it.

 He looks up at her and seizes the moment. They draw closer as their lips gently touch while sharing a romantic embrace. Lost in the moment, Gypsy leans back letting her back touch the sand as they continue their moment of passionate kissing. The waves begin to collide into their bodies.

 'I can't believe this is happening' ran through her mind. He began to kiss her neck. Moving further down, leads a trail of kisses from her neck to her shoulders. Right before going further, she heard her name being called.

 "Shanell, Shanell...!" it sounded like Mel Hunter, her friend.

 "Shanell! Wake up, we're about to leave the studio" Mel began to walk to the door as she watched her friend get ready.

 "Yea, I'm ready." Shanell gets up and heads toward the bathroom to wash her face. She looked in the mirror as she tried to gather her thoughts. This was the third time she had that dream. Walking out she grabs her purse and heads for the door.

 "Aye, you ok?!" Mel asks

 "Yea, why u ask?"

 "I don’t know man. Seems like your has been in the clouds ever since u got back from your trip." Mel begins to look at Gypsy as if to figure out what was going on.

 “I’m fine. How about we figure out where we're going to get some food from" both girl leave laughing and taking.

Ch. 19 Second Chances Pt. 2

Ok so yea, it took a while...BUT I finally finished the second part to this chapter. I hope you guys like/love it!! Leave a comment for feedback, I want to know how you guys are feeling!!!!




Pt. 2

Moving closer, their lips collide into one another. Lost in the romance, those few seconds felt like an eternity. Hearing faint barking in the background, the Shanell and Wayne snap out of their trance. They backed up as a feeling of awkwardness seeped in.

“What time is it?” Gypsy asks, trying to divert the awkward moment. Wayne looks at his watch and sees its seven fifteen.

“Damn, we gotta get ready for dinner!” They quickly gather their things from the shore. Casual banter followed as they headed back to their villa.

Wearing black straight leg pants, a nice long sleeve collar shirt, and a pair of vans, Wayne was ready for their special evening. An hour later Gypsy walks out wearing all black leggings and a silver black white & gray crop top. She topped it off with some Christian Louboutin ankle boots that were white with black and gray accents. The time is now eight thirty and their dinner reservations were set for nine o’clock.

“You look amazing!” Wayne compliments her as she does a pirouette.

“Thanks, you look good yourself” she replies and they walk out the door.

Walking through the lobby, they stop when they see Koyana standing there. She escorts them around the main pool area to their restaurant. She sits them at a table that has a perfect view of the ocean’s final sunset. She hands them their menus and tells them their server will be with them shortly.

“This place is breathtaking!” Gypsy starts.

“You know how I do. I do it big, or not at all. Plus, I knew you would love this place for an apology gift.” He answers.

“True, even I was going to accept it whether you did this or not. But hey, at least I got a free vacation out of it!” they both let out a small chuckle as they begin to scan the menus to see what’s enticing.

“Do you know what you want to order?” He asks hoping her decision would help him to decide.

“I think so. The Mahi Mahi special sounds good!” he wasn’t in the mood for fish. Just then, a tall light skinned man walked up to their table.

“Good evening! My name is Ashton, I will be your waiter for tonight. Can I start you off with some drinks?” he pulls out his pen and pad.

“ Yes, I would like a glass of water, and for the lady-“ he points to Shanell to order for herself.

“I want a glass of Moscato, please.”

“Nice choice”, the waiter states. “I will be back with those drinks and to take your orders.” With quickness, he vanished into the distance.

“Still don’t know what you want?” she asks him.

“Depends on what you’re talking about.” Gypsy looks up at him, but he continues to look at the menu as she shows a sarcastic grin. Just then Ashton walks up with their drinks, ready to take their orders.

“ Have you guys decided on what you want to eat?” the waiter asks. Wayne nods for Shanell to go first.

“Yes! I want to try the Mahi Mahi. I want steamed vegetables and the Creole sauce.”

“Wonderful choice! That’s one of my favorites. And for you sir?” he turns to face Wayne.

“I guess I will have the Beef Back Steak. I want the sautéed vegetables and pepper sauce.” He closes his menu.

“Awesome! I will take the menus out of your way and get these orders in! I will be back to refill your glass ma’am.” Grabbing the menus, he darts to the bar. He comes back and places the bottle of Moscato on the table for future refills.

Gypsy takes a sip of her drink and savors the taste. There was Caribbean music playing softly in the background. She looks out to the water and sees the waves crashing to shore. It felt like she was in a dream. She’s loving every minute of her mini vacation.

“So what made you decide to come here?” she was curious.

“I haven’t been here before. Plus I figured it would be quieter and away from all the cameras” he answers.

Moments later, their food comes. Ashton puts the big tray down to steady himself as he serves the hot plates. The aromas began to tease their noses as it sat near them. Grabbing their napkins, he waiter places them in their laps

“Is there anything else I can get for you two?” he asks as he places his towel in his smock.

“No, I think we’re good for now.” Gypsy answers, scanning the table.

“Ok, well enjoy your food. Let me know if you need anything.” With the blink of an eye, he was gone.

They both grab their utensils and begin to dig into their food. For about 15min or so all you could hear were the forks and knives hitting the plates.

“So how’s your food?” Gypsy asks Wayne, seeing half of it is already gone.

“Juicy” there was a slight pause then they both laugh. “Pauz on that”

“No comment Wayne.” She shakes her head and takes another bite to eat.

“How’s yours?”

“It’s good! I love it.” she replied.

“I see. Girl, you put a hurtin’ to that fish!” Shanell shoots him a sarcastic smirk as she finishes her previous bite. Casual banter fills the table as they finish their plates. Gypsy’s phone begins to vibrate.

 “Excuse me.” She goes to check it. She doesn’t recognize the number and lets it go to voice mail.

“Who was it?” Wayne asks. Gypsy quickly shoots him a look.

“My Business!” she answers.

“True, ok.” Wayne laughs and nods his head. Looking for Ashton, he waves for him to come to the table.

“How’s it going?” he asks

“Everything is going excellent! Do you guys have a desert menu?” Wayne asks.

“Yes, we do.” He hands Wayne the menu. Not really understanding the language, he closed it.

“Ok, I want to order two of whatever you think we’d like.” Him and the waiter laugh.

“Ok, I will have them to prepare this strawberry dish. It’s really good!” Ashton answers.

“Thank you, and could we have it packaged to go?” Shanell asks.

“Of course!” he answers.

“Ok, thanks!” Ashton had disappeared into the back once again. Moments later, he returned with their deserts in hand. They paid for their evening and prepared to leave the restaurant. They held a light conversation about their evening until they reached their villa to retire.

The next morning Shanell wakes up feeling refreshed. Realizing Sixx was in a tight, she opened the door to the lanai so he could handle his business. She went to check for Wayne, but he wasn’t in his room. She scanned the kitchen and bathroom, he wasn’t there either. No longer worrying about it, she went to finish the leftovers from the previous night. As she went to grab her box she saw a note:

Hey Ms. Gypsy Queen,

I didn’t want to wake you, but I have some last minute errands to run.

I hope you enjoy your Spa Day.

-Weezy F.

She closed the note and placed it on the counter. Sixx finally comes back in and sits on the floor near the couch. Gypsy heats up her food and heads to where Sixx was. Just as she went to turn on the television there was a knock on the door. ‘I wonder who this is’ ran through her mind.

“Hello, are you Shanell?” the lady asks.

“Yes” she answers hesitantly.

“We’re here for your private spa therapy.” The lady said.

“Oh yes! Come in!” she opens the door wider to let them in. They wheel in all the equipment and begin the setup.

Her phone begins to ring. Thinking it's Wayne, she tries to go answer it. By the time she reached her phone, she saw that she missed two calls. They were both from that same unknown number as before. This time they left a voice mail. She goes to check it, thinking it was Wayne:

Hey Shanell, this is Justin.

Some of your umm, gypsies, have been hitting my mentions. They're saying that we'd make a cute 'couple' (he laughs). If you could call me back, I'd love to chat and get to know you. Bye.

She begins to blush as she listens. She saves the message and goes back to start her day of pampering. Walking back to the living area, the room was filled with different types of facial, massage, and aroma stations.

"So where do you want to begin, Shanell?" the masseuse asked.

"Ummm, I think I want to start with my face and work my way down." Gypsy answered.

"Nice!" the masseuse motioned for her to sit down as the began to work. The aroma of different exotic oils began to fill the room as she moved from her facial to her deep tissue massage. With each caress, a calming feeling ran through her body. Just then, Wayne opens he door to see her enjoying her private session. Not wanting to disturb her, he kissed her cheek as he made his way to his room. Seeing this was their last night of their weekend getaway, he wanted to make sure she enjoyed every minute of it. He turned on the television and watched ESPN until he fell asleep.

It the morning of their last day and Wayne wanted it to be special. He attempted to cook breakfast, but didn't know the villa didn't have cookware. With a quick call to one of the chefs, his dream was made reality. Keeping it simple, Gypsy woke up to turkey bacon, grits, eggs, and toast lightly buttered. He also prepared a glass of mimosa and place the entree on a tray that was placed at the foot of her bed. It also had a rose and a note that read, Hope you enjoyed yourself as much as I enjoyed your company.

The aromas tease her out of slumber land. She goes to sit up and sees the tray and she lets out a small smile. 'Wayne is too sweet!' ran across her mind. She pulled it close and began to enjoy her meal. Just then Wayne walks in and sits next to her with his tray in hand.

"How's your breakfast?" he asks.

"It's good! Thanks Wayne." she answers.

"You're welcome, even though I didn't make it. I forgot to get the pots and pans" 

"Well either way, I love it." she smiles as she takes a bite of the eggs and bacon. They turn on the television and finish their food. Moments later, they begin to pack their bags and check out. Heading to the lobby Shanell stops him.

"Thanks for everything. This was a nice little vacation." she gives him a big hug.

"No problem, I'm just happy you enjoyed yourself." They both headed to the lobby and stepped into the taxi van. Twenty minutes later they were at the airport getting ready to board their flight. They reminisced on the weekend and talked about going back soon. On the way back they all slept a little more than before. Even Sixx seemed very relaxed from his weekend retreat. A few hours later, the plane landed in Atlanta.

"Well I guess it's back to work now, huh?" Shanell says to Wayne.

"Yea, money stops for no man. Or woman in this case." he answers jokingly.

"True, well thanks again." Just then an attractive, young woman pulls up in a all black Bugatti. It was Dhea. Wayne looks back and sees her. He gives Shanell a long, tight hug.

"Thanks for accepting my apology. I really enjoyed my weekend with you." he says softly in her ear.

"No thank you!" They end their embrace and go their separate ways....

CH. 19 Second Chances Pt. 1

OK SO YEAAA, IT TOOK A WHILE FOR ME TO WRITE THIS CHAPTER BUT I FINALLY FINISHED !!! WELL, PART OF IT ANYWAY {lol} I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY IT!!!!



   She sees it's Wayne and decides to let it go to voice mail. Walking back to her closet, her phone rings again. Sixx quickly turns his head and lets out a soft growl. Clearly it was cutting into his peaceful nap. Gypsy lets out a sigh as she sees who it was - Wayne. Reluctantly, she answers it.

    "What?" she answers coldly.

    "Are you still mad at me?" he asks.

    "What do you think?" Shanell answers in a sarcastic tone.

    "Look, I'm sorry for what I did. But you needed to see the truth." Hearing that made her upset, as she crossed her arms and sat on her bed.

    "You're kidding right...?"

    "No, I'm not." Wayne's heart began to race. "Dat nigga wasn't right for you, he ain't even trust you -" Shanell interrupted.

    "How do you know that?!" her voice became elevated.

    "I'm not about to go back and forth with you Shanell. I just want you to see that I truly am sorry about how I hurt you, but I am NOT sorry for what I did." Gypsy was quiet after he said that. She didn't know what to say.

    "I only want the best for you, and I'm sorry but he just wasn't it.  Give me a chance to make it up to you, I really do love you." his voice was vulnerable. It shocked Shanell. She's never heard him sound that that before. Her heart began to warm up a bit.

    "Fine, how are you going to make it up to me?"

    "Open the door to find out." he smiled as he said it.

    Gypsy's face grew confused when he said that. Heading down the stairs, she slowly walked to the door. As she opened the door, there he stood with a bouquet of white and red roses. She notices he has a bag in his hand, handing her the bouquet. Her heart melted, She's never had a guy do that for you.

    "How long have you been standing there?" she motioned for him to come in the house. He walked over to the couch.

    "For about thirty minutes or so" he said as he made himself comfy. She walked into the kitchen to place the flowers in the vase. She placed the vase on her coffee table as she sat right beside him.

    "Why didn't you knock or ring the doorbell?" she asked.

    "Would you've answered the door if I did?" he looked and her and let out a small laugh.

    "You got a point" she laughed as well, as he passes her the bag. "So what's in the bag?" she asks as she ruffles through it.

    "Just go and put it on. I have a surprise for you." he smirks.

    Shanell goes upstairs to her bedroom, with Sixx and Wayne right behind. Shanell stops, turns around, and looks at him.

    "What are you doing?" she chuckles.

    "Well I have to see if it fits right" being sarcastic. She lightly pushes him out the doorway.

    "You will see when I get out." Wayne sits in a chair that was in the hallway. A few moments later, she opens the door and models the YMCMBGC shirt and basketball shorts that he signed. They both smiled.

    "How do I look?" she does a three-sixty turn.

    "Beautiful." he says softly as he walks over to her, and hugs her. "I really do love you, Shanell. I know I fucked up, but I only had your best interest at heart." he holds her close, the kisses her forehead.

    Hearing Wayne say that sent chills down her back. For the first time ever, she viewed him in a different way. Gazing into his eyes, she kisses him on his cheek.
chan
    "I know you do" she ends the embrace, excited to hear about the rest of her surprise. "Enough of this mushy stuff, what's next?"

    "Let's pack a few things so you can find out." They both head into her bedroom. Wayne takes a deep breathe, and let's out a sigh. He was happy she accepted his apology. A few bags later, she was finally ready for the rest of her surprise. They hopped into his car, with luggage all packed in the back, and drove off.

    Arriving to the airport, they check their luggage in and board the private jet. Once situated, she places Sixx's crate down alongside her purse. Wayne follows suit, sitting next to her. Moments later, the plane takes off and their off in the air.

    Shanell lets Sixx out so he can stretch his little legs. He snuggles on the couch after running a round from the front of the plane to the back. For the first hour and a half, they rode in silence and slept. They experience some turbulence and that's when they woke up.

    "So where are we going? You never answered me earlier." Gypsy was getting nervous.

    "You will see" Wayne laughs, but she didn't find it to be so. Wayne  changes the subject and they talk about other things for the remainder of the trip. Once the plane lands, Sixx jumps to the window, he was excited to see land.

    They gather their things as they walk off the jet. Gypsy begins to smile as she hears the soft Caribbean music playing. The water was clear blue and the lush greenery was seen for miles on end as they reach the port. They were greeted by a tall, dark, muscle bound man.

    "Welcome to St. Maarten! Hope your flight was comfortable." he holds the door open to the Rolls Royce Phantom. Her jaw dropped when she saw it. "My name is Jeremiah. I will be your chauffeur for the remainder of your stay here. Are you guys ready?" he asks. He helps Gypsy into the car.

    "Yes, I am!" she answers with excitement. Once Wayne's in the car, they head for the hotel. Twenty minutes later, they arrive at their destination. A speechless Gypsy couldn't believe her eyes; the hotel was beautiful. Jeremiah help them out the car, and they walked into the lobby.

    "Hello, welcome to La Samanna. My name is Koyana. How may I help you?" a young, medium built woman stood stood at the front desk.

    "Yes, reservations for Dwayne Michael Carter." he pulled out his black American Express card. She searches the database.

    "Yes, I see you're staying for three days two nights, correct?" she asks.

   "Yes" Koyana gets the room keys ready and hands them to Wayne along with the receipt.

    "Alright, here go the keys, go down this hall, and make a left. The villa will be on your right."

   "Thanks" they say in unison, before walking to their villa.

    Finally reaching the villa, Wayne opens the door and motions for Shanell to enter first. As she walks in,she places her purse in a chair. Sixx jumps out of her arms and runs to the lanai. He enjoys the gentle breeze through his fur as he wags his tail. Gypsy follows him and just stands their in amazement. She's been to all over the world, but never seen such beauty in one place.

    After getting all the bags unpacked and everything situated, Wayne walks out and embraces her from behind. Surprisingly, she didn't show signs of resistance. Shanell rested her head back onto his chest as she soaked in her environment. Their villa faced the clear blue ocean. A slight smile swept across her face.

    "Thanks for everything. This place is beautiful." she said softly.

    "It's only the beginning love." he replied. The word 'love' made her quiver on the inside. She didn't know how to feel about that because she was still trying to rationalize everything that has up until now. After a few moments, she turns to face Wayne.

    "What's the plan for tonight?" she was curious.

    "Well dinner later on, but right now it's whatever you want" he answers.

    "I want to hit up the beach"

    "Cool, let me go get ready"

    "Ok." They both walk back inside and get ready for the afternoon by the beach.

   A few moments later, they were ready to walk outside. The beach literally sat behind the villa, as if it were their backyard. As they find a spot to sit, Sixx dashes off to play in the water. They look at him and let out small laughs as they shake their heads. Feeling a slight awkwardness begin to enter, Gypsy decides to have a talk with him.


    "Can we talk?" A nervous Wayne looks up and nods his head yes.

    "This is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. I can't thank you enough." she starts.

    "No need to thank me. The pleasure was all mine."  he replies.

    "But I don't want you to think that this excuses what you did, I mean-" Wayne interrupts her.

    "I know that, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it up to you 100%. I know I was wrong, but when you truly and deeply care for someone it's hard to always channel your emotions in a positive way. Sometimes, I get carried away and from now on I will work harder on letting you run do you." he answers, trying to keep the mood uplifting. Pleased with his answer, she sits back in her chair as a small smile came across her face.

    "Ok, as long as you know..." Quickly, Gypsy grabs a hand full of sand and throws it all over Wayne. "...that I had to get my revenge at some point." She begins to let out a light laugh as she watches his surprised expression on his face.

    "Oh word?" He leans down towards the towels and pretends to wipe his face off. He comes up with two fists full of sand and starts to chase her. Not long after, they were both covered in sand from head to toe.

    "Ahhhh, you got it in my hair!! Do you know hard it is to get this shit out??" She tries to shake it out, but it seemed hopeless.

    Just then Wayne gets an idea. "I'm sorry Nelly, let me help you with that." He walks towards her. With a blink of an eye, Wayne had swooped her up and was running full force into the water. The two are now soaking wet. Gypsy gets up and starts to splash him in the face.

    Wayne grabs Shanell and throws her into the water. Instead of getting up, she decides to swim under him to make him fall in the water. Coming up for air, she laugh even harder at the look on Wayne's face. He resurfaces and wipes his face off.

    "Awww, poor baby! I'm sorry, but you had it coming." She walks over to make sure he's alright.

    "It's ok, because I'm sorry too" Gypsy's face grew confused. He splashes her in the face.

    "You're an ass for that!!!" They both were laughing. They started a splash war and continued to enjoy each other's company for what seemed to have lasted a couple hours.

    Sixx decided to sit the festivities out, seeing he already enjoyed the ocean waves prior to his mommy. Seeing that the sun was setting, they stop their child's play and to gaze at the horizon, filled with splashes of red, orange, and yellow streaming through the sky.

    "I've never really taken the time out to watch the sun set. It's sooo beautiful." Shanell says.

    "Not as beautiful as you Shanell." Just then Gypsy looks up and their eyes lock. He softly grabs her and brings her close. Slowly, they feel their magnetic forces being strengthened as they draw closer. It was like they were in a trance.....
