“No, you can’t die on me. Wake up, Chad.” I say as I sob. I shake his body, but he seems lifeless.
There is so much blood pouring from his head that I don’t even see the wound.“Ma’am, are you okay?” I hear someone’s voice call from the side of the car.The car isn’t too banged up, for it only climbed up the sidewalk and almost hit the entrance of a small cafe.There may only be scratches and scrapes on the paint job.“Can you hear me?” The lady asks me again and I finally look to her.She walks towards the door and opens it for me, but then she releases a small gasp when her eyes land on Chad.Her hands fly to her mouth as she looks in shock.“He’s going to be okay, right?” I ask the lady as if she knows.She looks at me with a look of pity and then she extends her hand to me, helping me to get down from the vehicle.I feel so numb. It’s like I’m in a dream and all this isn’t real.“II swiftly try to reach for my dagger, realizing with regret that I didn’t wear my leather jacket today.Which means that I am weaponless. “Crap.” I say under my breath.“I said hands where I can see them!” The security guard yells at the top of his lungs.“Now that’s enough.” Everyone turns towards the voice that speaks.It’s my uncle, Charles.“She’s my niece, you guys can get back to work.” He says authoritatively as a small smile lingers on his lips.He looks so glad to see me.I walk towards him with a stony look and the security guards walk past me and enter the elevator.In a couple of seconds, the entire floor is cleared. I am now alone with Charles.“I’m so glad you decided to see me.” He says and I scoff.“You bailed on me concerning my proposal for a dinner.” He starts to say but stops.He then studies my facial expression. It must be the puffiness in my eyes that g
Charles is right. My picture would definitely be placed in the newspaper and on social media by tomorrow.I have to stay low-key. I can’t avenge my best friend if I am thrown in prison or at worse, sentenced to death.“I hear you.” I tell Charles as I nod.“I’m being serious, Jen.” He says as he looks at me. I study his face.He looks truly concerned, but what confuses me is that how could he be? Howcould he be concerned about me when he just met me a few days ago?I know I’m his family and all, but I don’t want to be used as some way for him to redeem himself from the terrible choices he has made in his life.“Charles, you’re not my father.” I tell him with a straight face and he recoils.“What? I never said I was.” He says, and I can tell that he’s hurt by what I said.“I do hear you though, I truly do, but I just need you to back off a bit.” I say. Somehow I feel triggered and images of my
“Don’t look too surprised, miss Davis.” The driver says as he watches me. He seems amused.I gently angle myself back into the car and I close the door. I turn to him with a straight face and he gulps.“How do you know me?” I ask him.“I—I.” He stutters and I click my tongue on my teeth, making a small sound.“Look here, buddy. If you don’t tell me how you know my name, you will not be leaving here alive.” I threaten him and he chuckles nervously.“You’re all over the news.” He says in a matter of fact tone.Something about the way he speaks and his body language tells me that he knows more. “The news was just aired a hour or more ago. I highly doubt that you watched the news in this cab.” I tell him and I can see that he’s getting really nervous.Beads of sweat begins to form on his forehead, causing him to wipe it with the back of his hand.“I can’t do this. It’s Robert, he’s the one.” He says and no
The guard who is known by the name James falls to the ground and instinctively reaches for his nose, which is now leaking blood.It is clearly broken.“James, what the hell?” Robert speaks to him in anger and shock.“Among all the people I hired, you were the one I least expected to do some crap like this!” He adds.His chest heaves up and down as he speaks. Man, he is really angry.I am fully expecting James, the guard to speak but he only gets up from the ground and wipes the blood from his nose with the back of his hand.The same stoic look lingers on his face, but a hint of regret can be seen. Robert walks away from him and walks towards me purposefully. I watch his every step, playing in my head, what he may do when he reaches me.And believe me, I am not scared or nervous a bit.“And you.” He says between his teeth when he reaches me. His fists are balled up and he looks like he is going to burst
His words are like melted chocolate on my taste buds.His chest is strong and firm. I can even hear the steady beating of his heart.He suddenly rolls over, causing me to fall gently to the bed. I giggle and he hovers over me. He holds himself up with his two strong arms as he stares into my eyes.“The things I want to do to you.” He says in a husky tone and then he bites his lower lip.I gasps light at his words.“You like it when I talk like that, huh?” He lowers himself on me slowly as he kisses my jawline.“Robert..” I say, trying to get him to stop, but failing miserably.His manly scent turns me on more than I can describe. The light stubble on his face rubs against my skin, causing me to moan.“Yeah, baby, moan for me.” He says as his face travels down in between my bosom.“Robert..no.” I beg for him to stop, but he is deaf to my weak attempts.He continues his actions and I push my body
I gently jerk my arm from his grip and he folds his arms on his chest.“It’s nothing, I got hurt in a car crash.” I tell him casually and he looks at me with unbelief.“Jen, what the hell?” He speaks in a worried tone.He tries to take my arm in his grip again so he can get a better look at the wound, but I don’t allow him to.He lets out a sigh.“Tell me what happened then.” He says like a parent, and I fight the urge to laugh.“I was involved in a car crash with Chad a few hours ago.” I say, my voice breaking slightly when I mention my best friend’s name.“Oh, Jen.” Robert says as he tries to pull me in for a hug, but I push him away.“Where is Chad now?” He asks me, avoiding the fact that I just pushed him away from me.“In the hospital.” I say in a small voice.“I should have been the one. I should be the one in the induced coma right now.” I say and I can’t hold back my tears anymore.
“Jennifer Davis.” The person says my full name.“What are you doing here?” I ask her as I narrow my eyes at her. It’s Naomi, Chad’s ex that he was engaged to.“I could ask you the same.” She says with a playful shrug.“Enough of the chit chat, we need to talk about Chad.” She says and I study her.Is that really why she’s here to talk? I don’t trust her a bit. I hear the shower stop and I instinctively close the door in Naomi’s face.“Who were you talking you?” Robert asks me as he walks out of the bathroom with a towel only covering his lower body.“Uh..no one.” I say as I pretend to be combing my hair with my fingers. “I’m pretty sure I heard another person talking.” He says as he walks towards the closet to find something to wear.“You know what? I will be right back.” I say as I open the door of the room. He watches me as I leave the room and I do so smoothly.I then close the door shut and I see Naomi sitting on the floor next to the door.“Wh
“Robert, you just took a shower!” I continue my protests, but he doesn’t listen, causing me to laugh.I swear this guy is crazy.After he has removed his clothing, he dances his way into the shower to me, but I keep hiding my naked body from him.The funny thing is that we have had sex before, and he has obviously seen me naked. But I don’t know, this is just different.I won’t say I don’t like this, I am all giddy like a school girl in here, but I have not done this with a single soul before.“What if I want to take another shower with my baby?” He says as he raises one of his eyebrows. He is now completely naked and he walks close to me and wraps his arms around me. The water from the shower continues to wash over our bodies.“Turn around.” He whispers and I chuckle.“Robert...” I say his name in attempt to warn him, but my own warning voice is filled with glee.He holds my shoulders and gently turns
