Chapter 7

Relief filled Anika’s frame as her body sat atop the chilled porcelain toilet seat. Her nurse had her drinking so much water, she’d been rushing to the restroom what felt like every ten minutes. Standing after wiping herself, she winced some. Her cracked ribs were healing well in this fourth week of recovery, but still tender to touch. Staring at her reflection in the mirror, Anika assessed her features.

Tilting her head from side to side, she examined the scar above her head where her stitches had been removed. Her busted lip was healed, eyes still somewhat bruised, and head was banging from the concussion she received, but she was alive. For that, she was grateful. So damn grateful. Wanting to give her girl a boost of confidence, Rylee made her a bomb ass wig with a honey blonde color at the ends. It made her chocolate skin, that was getting its glow back, pop.

Brushing the luscious curls into a ponytail, Anika closed her eyes and exhaled a deep breath. The last month of her life felt like the twilight zone. Every day was so unpredictable and being on bedrest for majority of it had her drained. Being tucked in the house was driving her crazy as well, but it was for the better.

After Lano and the guys’ stunt with Tez, Corrine, and those other guys killings, shit had been hot. Sen and Juvie headed back home a day after everything went down and had no plans of returning soon. They touched down, handled their business and got the fuck out of dodge. Sticking around was much too risky.

“Knock, knock,” Rylee called out cheerfully from the bedroom door.

Lina and DeNelo’s guest room had become Anika and Lano’s room. In fact, the entire left wing of the crib was theirs now, until they returned home. Though due to unfortunate situations, Lina loved having Anika and Lano to keep her company. Days with them being there reminded her of Lano’s younger days when he’d crash at her place for days at a time just to keep an eye on her.

Walking out the bathroom, Anika gave Rylee a warm smile. “What’s up.”

“Nothing. Was just letting you know I’m about to head home. Going out with a few of my girls. I wish you could come.”

They hugged, and Anika climbed in the bed with her MacBook nearby. With modeling pushed to the back burner for a while, she found comfort in typing out her feelings while going through her healing.

“Me too. Thank you for checking on me girl. We can still go out to eat next week if you’re up to it,” Anika told her.

“I’m always down for some food, but how about I cook for you? No need to be out in the public if you aren’t ready boo.”

“Well, I’m tired of being in the damn house that’s for sure,” she grumbled.

Rylee gave her an empathetic smile. “So, dinner it is. Out of the house.”

“Yes. Just text me the day before.”

“Sure thing. You need anything before I leave?”

Anika shook her head no as her brows furrowed with recognition.
