I remained quiet cause I didn't see the need to answer that question. This dude would just be doing whatever he feels like and expect me to understand."Tiffany," Luciano called again and I shook my head. "Why did you do that, Tiff? Why did you steal my gun?"I sniffed back the tears and wiped my eyes. "I just didn't want the father of my child to be sent to prison."My voice wasn't as clear as I wanted because I was crying. "Tiffany," he scoffed and sighed audibly. "We don't even know if you're pregnant yet," he blurted. He looked at me in fear, care, and surprise. There was this look on his face that I have never seen before and I don't know what to call it."That was so fucking risky, Tiff. What if they searched you? What explanation would you have given for holding a gun? Don't do that ever again. Is that clear?"I gave a small nod even though I knew that I was only helping him. "Now give it back," he ordered and I raised my shirt. I brought out the gun from my belly and han
LUCIANO'S POVWhat if someone comes to take her?What if she get strangled in her sleep?Yeah, tiff is a very heavy sleeper and that creep. I wasn't feeling comfortable so I stood up and walked to Tiffany's room. I opened the door gently and walked inside.I stood there for some minutes watching her. Her eyes were closed and she laid on the bed gently. Her hands were placed under her head and her legs curled softly. I could tell that she was already dreaming because of how calm she looked.Mere looking at her made me regret the thing I said to her today, especially when I told her that out love making was a mistake. I swear I love Tiffany but we are family!Staring at her made me recall beautiful moment and it hurt that I won't have them again. Tiffany is the only person I had loved this way abd I will never forget her. I will love her forever!Shit! I can't afford getting hard for her again. I need to respect her and give her the best.I swallowed hard after watching her for a f
I could have screamed but I swallowed the loud cry that almost left my throat. In shock, I stared at her, still pointing the gun to her face, she looked terrified but she too, like me, was engulfed by fear.I taken aback when I felt the unusual tap and that made my hand instinctively reached for the gun tucked under my shirt, ready to defend myself from any potential threat and I could have pulled the trigger, killing her instantly. She wouldn't have survived it.It was a close call, and I was relieved that I hadn't pulled the trigger. Something told me to hold on and not pull the trigger. What if I hadn't been so calm to see the face of the intruder, I could have killed her! Breathing heavily, I relieved myself of the unexpected shock and sat back on the couch. With all the anger and fear and shock in me, I looked at her,"Don't you dare, don't you dare come close to me if I'm asleep again, don't you dare." I warned.She was looking at me like I wasn't speaking English."The lab has
The call from the hospital made a wave of absolute relief washed over me. I didn't know how I'd feel or think if the results had been positive, I literally will pull Tiffany away from everyone then figure how how to deal with the whole issue. More relief washed over me as I realized were already home, it made me feel slightly more at ease.I didn't release the news to her yet, I wanted her to freshen up before breaking the news to her. I also needed some rest. As I walked to the kitchen to get some juice, she was trying to make dinner.I walked to my room after seeing she was doing all other random things. I took a quick shower and had a change of comfy clothes. When I decided it was time to reveal the news, I took a deep breathe. It's about time to let the cat out of the bag.Finally getting the nerves to speak, I made my way to Tiffany's room. I didn't bother to knock because I was used to doing that, however, what I saw when I entered took me by surprise and I averted my eyes imme
My hands were flipping the pages of a vital document I was reading, I wasn't totally bored but it felt like there was something else I should be doing. I haven't yet discovered the key to making me get my mind off the whole issue, particularly what my father told me days ago. "Kill or be killed?" I said suddenly "is he kidding? I don't think so"Do I?I took a deep breath and looked out the window, I was sitting in the cozy sitting room, surrounded by the trappings of a luxurious lifestyle. Tiffany was nearby, also sitted nearby, diligently working on her assignments, if this was one thing she does diligently , it was her assignment. I studied her intensely, very happy she wasn't going to be a mother soon. I chuckled loudly without knowing and she caught me looking at her."Hey, why're you staring?" She asked, her gaze was fixed."Oh, it's nothing. You do your thing."She looked at me for a while not believing then she went back to her assignment, then suddenly she posed a question
I was in the midst of doing random things, checking out all the corners of my room for cobwebs. I was determined to make my room so clean, my mind was still preoccupied with scattered thoughts.It was then Tiffany came in, she didn't say anything as she saw I was doing the cleaning but I knew she was amazed. She just smiled and went to sit on my bed."How are you doing?" She asked then didn't wait for my reply, she spoke again. "The weather is good today, good for a picnic and swimming, what do you think?""It's good for seeing the movies, not picnic." I answered coolly."Movies, you say. Well, what movie? I mean what kind."I thought of one random movie I knew she hadn't watched, it was a slasher movie. "What about Scream?""Ooh, that movie! I've watched the last season but not the new one.""You should watch it." I said, not caring to give anymore details.Just when I thought she would leave, she mustered the courage to voice her deepest fear - Her words hung in her throat, heavy wi
My heart raced as I opened the door to find two police officers standing on the doorstep. The racing continued but I steadied my palpitating heart, I couldn't allow them know I was scared, still I was wondering what could have possibly brought them here. Trying to remain as calm as ever, I asked, "Can I help you officers? What brings you to my house?" Even as the words came out, I could only imagine they noticed my fear.They wasted no time in getting straight to the point. "We need to question you and search your house, Mister Luciano," one of them replied sternly.I could feel my heart sink as I realized the seriousness of the situation. They wouldn't just come without any information they got from someone. "Is there a reason for this? May I have your search warranty. " I asked, my voice trembling slightly."Let us in." The one I think as the boss said with authority."But then, can I see the warranty you've got to search my house." I repeated, maybe they didn't hear me.They push
The phone rang for the second time in a roll but I ignored. I didn't quite know what to say to my father, in the midst of everything that was happening, I couldn't bring myself to speak to him. There were more pressing matters at hand. I ignored his call, not interested in his speech today.I pulled a stop in front of the mall and watched Tiffany get down, she didn't even care if I followed her. I knew she would have called me, but didn't just want to show she cared. We entered the groceries store, the atmosphere vibrant and energetic. I headed to the fruit section, while Tiffany moved towards the vegetables section. As she moved through the room, she handled her tasks efficiently and I knew she'd make a scrumptious meal for dinner. Regardlless of how I was trying to fit in and not act so cold, my mind was preoccupied with thoughts of yesterday and the encounter with the police. It had been a close call that would have added to the problem at hand, but luckily, I had managed to sl
