When it was finally time for lunch, John, Gio and I left the school and headed to taco bell. We did all the time and since we were now seniors, it was fine for us to leave campus. When we arrived at Taco Bell, we all ordered our food. When it was finally ready, we grabbed our food and picked a table to sit. We all eagerly began eating the tacos, hungry for that delicious wrapped meat.
After taking a bite of my taco, I saw Gio and John looking at each other. John whispered something to Gio, making him frown and shake his head. They then both looked at me in observance. As if they were searching for the answer to a question they wanted to ask. I ignored them and kept eating my food. When I could still feel their eagle eyes watching me, I sighed and gave up, allowing them to ask me what I know they eagerly want to know.
“What?” I said in a deadpan voice, knowing full well, this was about Chasity.
“Do not act like you do not know why we are staring at you,” John said with a grin.
Gio took a sip of his drink and grinned as well, anticipating me answering the question they both were about to ask. I wiped my mouth with a napkin and sat back in my seat, at the same time my two nosey friends leaned forward.
“Why were you talking to Dawson?” John asked, while he wiggled his eyebrows.
Gio snickered “Is there love blossoming in the air my friend?”
John laughed and added “Is it ‘cuffing season’ already?”
“What is cuffing season?” asked Gio, getting slightly distracted.
It was moments like this, that reminded me that Gio is a not from America. It was always funny whenever he got confused by a slang or phrase we would say.
“It is like a phrase that means people start becoming couples,” explained John.
“Ahh,” said Gio, making an understanding motion with a nod of his head.
I quickly replied with a lie “I wanted to ask her if what type of Oreo’s does, she like?”
“Are you serious?” asked Gio, not believing my reply to John’s question.
I nodded my head, trying to quickly back up my lie “Very. There are many types of Oreo’s and even though the original is my favorite, it is not the only one that is the best.”
John and Gio looked at me with an expression that showed they clearly didn’t believe me. I went back to eating my taco before my food got cold.
“I do not believe that you are being serious,” Gio said before he took a sip of his drink.
I shook my head, then replied “I am very serious,” as my right pinky tapped on the table.
John leaned back against his chair and crossed his arms. He then looked at me with amusement, as he scanned me with his eyes up and down, as if the truth is written on my face “Did you know that you are a bad liar?”
I inwardly scoffed; I am not a bad liar.
“I am not a liar, nor am I a bad one,” I replied. Then stood up to go throw my trash away.
John raised his eyebrows then scanned me with his eyes as I came back to the table “The truth always eventually comes out Bandit.”
I then grabbed my phone and looked at the time. Seeing that it was time for us to go. I stood up and grabbed my bag.
“It’s time to go back,” I said, changing the subject.
Gio laughed and teased in a singing tone “You are changing the subject my friend.”
I rolled my eyes and walked out the door ignoring their protests of leaving.
“How do you know he is lying?” Gio mumbled to John.
If he was trying to be discreet, my foreign friend was doing a horrible job.
“When he is lying, all his fingers stay still except his right pinky. It will always tap against something,” John said with a grin.
I inwardly scoffed, I guess I am a bad liar.

CHASITY DAWSON P.O.V(MEANWHILE BACK AT SCHOOL DURING LUNCH TIME)After class I headed towards the school cafeteria for lunch. Seeing my friends already sitting at our usual lunch table with their plates, I quickly got mine and headed towards the table. I put my lunch tray down and sat down in my seat. Quickly digging into my plate to eat.“Did you do your math homework?” asked Maddie, as she looked at Payton and I.Lucky for me, I did my homework with Payton yesterday at her house, so I knew I was going to be fine. Math was not Maddie’s best friend, nor was it mine. Payton on the other hand, was a genius at almost everything. We all went to Payton when we needed help. So, when she was looking at Payton and I; I knew the question was meant for Payton. She was the genius of the group, and very pretty as well; with her long dark

Chasity Dawson P.O.VBy the time my last class had finished and the bell had rung. I headed straight to my locker to wait for Payton. Luckily her locker, and Maddie’s locker, was right next to mine. When I reached my locker I grabbed my other text books and stuffed them into my backpack, to do my homework later at Payton’s house. I was so focused on what I was doing; that I did not hear the two other guys behind me.“Hello,” said someone behind me.I turned around and there before me, stood John and Giovanni. My eyes widened in surprise, because I have never spoken to them before either. Even though they haven’t said anything else yet, I had a hunch that they were here to get info from me on why Joe approached me. I closed my locker and turned around fully to face them. I was not nervous to speak to them, because although t

Chasity Dawson P.O.VThe man with the envelope started to turn, to walk in the direction of the house, but suddenly stopped. He quickly turned towards me, as if he sensed someone watching him. Which made me freeze for a second at being caught. When he saw me, he turned and quickly dashed back to his black car, jumped in and drove off before anyone else saw him. When I ran towards the road to catch his license plate before he got away, it was useless. There was no license plate on the back of the car.That must be the person leaving the photos, I thought to myself.I knew this was groundbreaking, since the culprit had finally been seen by someone. Even though, I may not have been able to see his face clearly enough to identify him. At least I was able to see his car, and the way he was dressed. It was a tiny

Joe Bandit P.O.VI snickered to myself after sending the text to Chasity. Truth be told, this was not the first time I caught her watching me from the window at Payton’s house. She is not the quickest person to disappear, when it came to hiding after being caught. It made me assume that maybe she had a thing for me. I thought it was cute and it puzzled me on why she had never tried to talk to me, if I was correct and she did have a thing for me.“Move over,” shouted Gio.I looked up at my two best friends fighting in the theater room for the middle seat in the front row. I rolled my eyes at their childish antics. There were at least nine other seats for them to sit on. Then again, I might have argued for that seat too. It was the best place to sit, when it came to watching a movie.

Joe Bandit P.O.V“What are you kids up to?” said John, as they saw Chasity and I together alone in my room.Damn, I really thought the movie would have kept them occupied, I thought to myself.Chasity and I jumped away from each other.“Is this what Americans’ do when they have friends over? Sneak a girl up to their room?” Gio rhetorically asked, turning towards John.John shook his head and touched his heart dramatically as if appalled “No, we do not.”I cleared my throat, while she looked down, using her hair like a curtain to cover her face. I walked away from her and towards my two, currently bothersome friends and pointed my index finger towards the opposite direction they were facing. Signaling for

Joe Bandit P.O.V“What is that you have in your hand son?” asked my father, even though he could clearly see it was an envelope with photos.“Dad,” I replied in a panicked tone.I quickly stuffed the photos back into the envelope. My father walked quickly towards me and snatched it out of my hands. He opened it and his eyes went wide when he saw the pictures. He ripped the whole envelope filled with the creepy photos and threw them against the wall. He looked at the photos as they fall to the ground with an angry expression. He then fiercely turns to me and stepped forward my way.“Where did you get this son!?” he pointed to the ripped photos on the ground “Where did you get the envelopes with the photos in it!?” asked my father, as he put both his hands on my shoul

Chasity Dawson P.O.VAfter getting home and cooking dinner, I was finally ready to take a shower and get some sleep. I felt so nice and squeaky clean after my bath. After getting out of the shower, I headed towards my room. I slipped on my fuzzy plus colorful socks and smiled because of how soft it felt. I then laid down on my bed and put my head on my pillow. With a smile on my face, ready for the next day.Ring!Ring!Ring!I groaned in irritation when I heard the sound of my phone ringing. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 10 o’clock.“Whoever is calling me, better have a damn good reason for calling this

Chasity Dawson P.O.V(Fifteen Minutes Later) “Why did we go out to get milkshakes?” I asked, as we left the McDonald’s drive thru.I took a small sip of my chocolate milkshake while Joe’s was still in the brown paper cup holder. He did not want to drink it while driving, even though it was not alcohol. We were on our way to the beach, and I am still sort of processing the fact that I snuck out at 10P.M while my mother was sleeping, to go out and get milkshakes with Joe and talk about whatever serious info he has yet to tell me.“When I was younger, my dad would take me out to get milkshakes whenever I was sad or mad. He would park his truck at the beach and then pull the truck’

Speak To Me Epilogue
Joe Bandit P.O.VI felt like someone punched me in the gut and I couldn’t breathe. When Gio told me, what happened to John I almost joined him in destroying the house. That didn’t happen, only because Chasity heard Gio throwing things and came running downstairs. When I told her that John died, she threw her arms around me and hugged me tight as she cried her eyes out. My eyes flooded with tears, and I tried to keep it at bay but it was useless.If John saw me crying right now, he’d tell me, “Only girls cry Joe.” Then I’d push him and say “You’ve cried before too! So that makes you a girl!” We’d laugh and head to the theater room to watch a movie. It pained me to know that we would never get to do that again.When the exchange for my mother had been made after my dad signed the documents that would give James complete control of my father’s company, shots were fired. Andr

Joe Bandit P.O.V“You want to know what’s so funny?” I laughed out loud at the sudden thought.Gio and Chasity looked at me. “What?” they asked in unison.I shook my head, “Earlier I could have sworn I saw Payton, as we were coming down the elevator.”Gio’s fork dropped from his hand and onto his plate in shock. “You saw Payton? Here?” He rushed out, looking around in alert.The smile that was on my face fell.“Well, I think I saw her.” I said starting to feel uneasy. “I could be wrong. Why? Is that not a good thing?”Gio stood up and shook his head.“The call that I just had, was from one of our men. He said that he found videos of Payton meeting James Cotton last week and was at your house today while you and your parents were out. She was there when your mother was abducted. Your mother didn’t se
Speak To Me Chapter 71
Joe Bandit P.O.VI looked at Chasity’s eyes and couldn’t believe how lucky I got to have this girl in my life. Our situation is weird, considering the fact that her dad tried to kill my parents, but I’m still grateful that one of the results is something that led Chasity into my life.Not wanting to say this, but needing to come clean I tell her my secret, “Chasity, I knew that your dad was alive.”Her eyes widened. “Why didn’t you tell me?”She didn’t pull away from me, so this was a good sign.“My father advised against it. We argued so many times, because I wanted to tell you and he didn’t feel like it was the time to do it.”She looked down, “I heard you guys arguing one time in the office. The door wasn’t fully shut. You were screaming at each other and one of the things you said is something along the lines of, a girl having the right t
Speak To Me Chapter 70
Joe Bandit P.O.VThe whole car ride to the safe house, was spent in total silence. No one spoke and no one needed to. I didn’t know that my dad had a safe house. Did my mom know about it? If she did, why didn’t she tell me? It was now an hour and we still weren’t there. We were heading to the mountains and the deeper we went I saw less and less proof of civilization.An hour later, Gio finally spoke up, “We’re here.”I watched as he pulled into a lane that led to a small shack.“You’ve got to be kidding me Gio,” I couldn’t help but say. “I don’t mean to sound spoiled but my father is a rich man. I assumed that he would have bought a bigger safe house.”Gio got out of the car and smirked at me. “Your father is a very rich man indeed.”I raised my brow at the way he spoke. As if he knew something I didn’t.Gio went to Annie to help her walk,

Joe Bandit P.O.VI watched as the man my father brutally beaten groaned from the immense pain he was feeling. His face all bloodied up and bruised, he looked almost unrecognizable. Then again, I’m sure any man would if they were beaten the way Andrew was.“So, what now dad?” I asked, as I watched him pace back and forth.He looked at John instead of me, “I want all the men to be at Owls Tower at eleven. We are meeting James at midnight. He wants me to sign over the rights to my company.”“Yes sir,” nodded John.This is so weird seeing my best friend acting this way. As Andrew was getting a beating from my father, John confessed that my dad hired him as my body guard. John’s family are a part of a secret organization that protects very wealthy men. It doesn’t matter if the person is good or bad. If the money pays well, then the bodyguard the client receives will be even better.

James Cotton P.O.VI smile as everything that I’ve waited for fall into plan. I accept the call, and watch Belle as I pick up the phone. I put it to my ear waiting for the onslaught of threats I know I will receive. If ben is calling me then obviously that idiot Andrew Dawson failed. No matter, I always have a backup plan anyways.“Hi Ben!” I greeted with chipper.“WHERE IS MY WIFE!?” shouted ben from the other side of the line.I cringed and pulled the phone away from my ear.“GIVE ME BACK MY WIFE!!!” he continued to shout.“BEN!!!” Screamed Belle.“BELLE!” shouted Ben, when he heard her voice.I put the phone back to my ear, holding it a bit away because I know he wasn’t done yelling.“You know how this is going to go ben,” I drawled. “We’ve watched enough movies to know what happens here.”&ldq
Speak To Me Chapter 67
Belle Bandit P.O.VI groaned in pain as I start to wake up from my sleep. My head is pounding from a serious migraine and my ears are ringing. I’m sitting on a chair with my feet tied with ropes and my arm tied behind my back to a chair. I feel like I got hit my Muhammad Ali in a fight and lost.Feeling Clueless as I scanned the room that I was in, “Where am I?”I was in an empty room with nothing else, but the silence to fill me. My mind tried to recall what I was doing last. Ben had already left for work, and Joe had left to pick up Chasity for school. I was the last to leave and as I was heading to my car, I turned around when I saw a reflection of a man approaching me from behind. They knocked me at the back of the head before I got the chance to turn around. Next thing I know, I wake up here.“Someone please help me!” I shouted as loud as I could, knowing that there’s a chance no one might come.

Joe Bandit P.O.VAndrews eyes widened and he smiled widely. “Ben!” he shouted in fake delight and arms open wide in gesture. His smile then dropped, “What a pleasant surprise,” he sneered.“You should have never came back,” growled my father. “Joe, get my son and Annie out of here.”“Ben,” Mrs. Dawson got ready to argue. She shook her head, not wanting to leave.I looked at my father, not wanting to leave either. Is he stupid!? If he let his guard down, Andrew will kill him.My father looked at me, knowing I was ready to argue. “Go you guys. Now.”John held the gun to Andrew, and backed away slowly. Making sure Mrs. Dawson and I were at the door before him.Hoping John will listen, I look at him with a serious look, “Stay with dad.”He nodded his head, accepting my order. I then turned to Mrs. Daw
