CHAPTER 8 - DON'T MAKE IT A HABIT

NICOLE'S POV

"Is that a joke?" He sat down beside me. "You know that's impossible right?"

I know I shouldn't ask this of him but I don't have a choice, I really need to call my contact outside.

"I really need to make a call."

"Which is okay by me but you have to use the prison phone and you know it. It's against the law and I can lose my job if they find out, in fact everything I do with you can make me lose my license if words get out."

"I am sorry that I am putting you through all of this, I know it's against the law and asking you to do it anyways is me being selfish but I really need it. The prison phone is being recorded and it's not safe for me to make the call with it. I promise you, I will be very quick and no one will know." I assured him.

"This is wrong Nicole." He lamented but I can tell that he will give in eventually.

"I know and I am sorry but it's important." I said urgently as I saw that I have less than ten minutes to go.

"Fine, two minutes." He brought out his phone, unlocked it and handed it to me.

I quickly inputted the number and dialed it as I got up from the couch and walked to a corner of his office for a little privacy.

"Hi Mike, it's me." I said immediately he picked up... Mike is my trusted head of security and he is my eyes, I trust him with everything and he is the one watching my brother.

"Oh boss, everything okay?" He asked as soon as he realized that I am the one talking.

"Yes I am fine, any news about the gang?"

"No boss, the gang leader is nowhere to be found, it's like he is completely off the grid but for the people that where trying to take you down, I have handled them apart from one and I already have leads on him." He informed.

"Okay, do everything that you can as soon as possible, I want to get out of here." I informed.

"Okay boss, I will handle everything."

"How is my brother?" I asked curiously, I haven't seen or spoken to him in months.

"He is doing great boss, your best friend is taking really good care of him, he is in a safe hands."

"Alright thanks, handle everything but don't call back, I will call you myself and please look for the gang leader, he is out there somewhere and if he happens to be dead, I need proof, is that clear?"

"Of course boss, I will find him." He assured me and I believe him. We found the rest of the gang members together, so I am confident that he can find their leader.

"Alright, I have to go." I hung up the call and I deleted the number before returning the phone back to Asher.

"Thanks so much my hot doctor." I teased as I straddled him and kissed him.

"You can't make this a habit." He pointed out, I will definitely call again but I won't make it a habit because I can obviously see how difficult it was for him to do this, he acted like he was breaking a law, well maybe he was but that's what he gets for making me his girlfriend.

"I won't." I assured him while smiling at him.

I leaned forward and kissed him passionately, he took charge of the kiss as his tongue danced with my tongue and it sent chills down my spine... I haven't had sex in months and I love sex, I really do.

I pulled back because I might not be able to stop myself and I have less than five minutes to go... I got up from him and I sat beside him .

"So you have a baby huh?" He asked all of a sudden and I completely forgot that I said that when he came visiting me.

It was a stupid and unnecessary lie but I just panicked and I thought telling him that I have a child will scare him off but I was obviously wrong.

"No, I... I." I was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Fuck."

"Kingston 42, your time is up."

"Sorry, we will continue text time." He got up, gave me a quick hug and a kiss before I left for the door but before I opened it, I mouthed "I love you." To him.

I don't know why I said that but I did and it made him really happy if I wanted to judge by the huge grin on his face. I turned around and opened the door before he could say anything.

"Damn." I cursed as I made my way back to the cell, the worst thing about Thursday is always leaving him, I wish I could stay for as long as I wanted.

But the most painful part today is the fact that I was unable to clear the air about this whole child issue but I guess there is always another day.

"Hey Nicole, someone looks happy." Ruth said as soon as I got back to the cell.

"Yes I am, Thursday is always a great day." I said before plopping on her bed.

"So it's official, you guys are really dating?" I mean I trust Ruth but if this gets out, Asher will lose his job and license and I can't let that happen, so as much as I would have like to let Ruth know how happy I am with Asher, I can't really tell her.

"Well, not exactly. I am his patient and we can't date but that doesn't mean that I can't flirt with him." I explained to her.

"That's too bad."

"Why is that, I am actually having fun."

"Yes but he really likes you and it's obvious that he wants more." Well I know how he feels about me but how did she know.

"How are you so sure?" I asked curiously.

"He was so worried about you when you were injured, it's actually very obvious." That's not good, we can't afford to be so obvious especially when his job is on the line.

"He would have reacted the same way if it was another of his patient, so it's not about me. Anyways, did you get that stuff?" Before I left the infirmary, I decided that I must have my revenge on Shelly and her minions and there is no way I can effectively have my revenge without a weapon.

So I asked Ruth to sneak out a knife or any shape object for me since she works at the kitchen, I tried to get something from the infirmary but my room was completely void of anything that can be used as a weapon.

It has also been very difficult for her to get something from the kitchen as well, they usually count every item given to the inmates in the kitchen before and after cooking, so it's been pretty challenging but I am really desperate, especially now that Shelly is f*e again.

"Well it was very difficult but I finally got something, it's under your pillow." I immediately got up from her bed and I lifted my pillow to see what she found.

It was a makeshift shank, it looks like a flat broken piece of rod that has been sharpened and the other end was wrapped tightly and neatly with a piece of cloth... It's perfect for the job.

"Wow Ruth, this is perfect. How did you get this?"

"Nevermind, it's not important. Anyways are you sure you want to do this because if you get caught, you won't be able to get out of here." She explained but I already know all the consequences.

"I won't get caught, don't worry." I already have everything figured out.

I was so bored in the infirmary and I had enough time to think and strategize, I know exactly where to carry out my plans. I know all the places that doesn't have cameras and that's exactly where I will go but as for Shelly, she won't escape me.

"Alright, if you insist." She gave up because she knows she can't talk me out of it especially now that I have the weapon.

She has been trying to convince me to change my mind since the first time I told her my plans but I didn't give in then and I certainly won't give in now.

"Don't worry, I will be very careful. You don't even have to be there, I can handle it alone." The last thing I want is to get her mixed up in my mess, I have killed a lot of people already, so this is not my first rodeo besides I am not going to kill her.

"It's fine, I want to be there." She said confidently.

"Well good, it will be a shame for you to miss the fun. Shelly will be in maximum pain and it will be so damn fun." I said before hiding the weapon inside my pillow.
