But Still I Hold On

#10

When i woke up Carlos wasn't home but i had to be at the gym in a hour so i didn't worry about it. I got up and took a shower and changed..... After i changed and stuff i called an uber and headed to the gym Timothy said he had to talk to me about something.

I arrived at the gym. Timothy Milo and Damien were there.

"Hey guys wassup?"

"We need to talk. Did Carlos invite you to the ball thats going on tonight?''

"Yeah why?"

"Some shit might go down there and we can't stop you from going because we don't want Carlos asking questions."

"Right so instead we gone give you 2 guns."

"Yall do know i'm wearing a dress right i can't have two guns."

"We have that figured out ma'am."

Milo showed me this gun holdster i could wear under my dress.

"It goes around you waist so that it can be comfortable and hidden. When you need it and you will all you gotta do it grab it."

"Okay seems easy enough."

"Do you know how to shoot a gun?"

"Yes Timothy i know how to shoot a gun i used to hunt with my dad."

"Awesome well lets get to training and we'll talk more about this before the ball."

"Alright." After that we boxed and they taught me how to easily and quickly grab my guns if i need them. I spent almost 4 hours doing this. The ball wasn't until 8 tonight. Timothy was gone meet us at Carlos house i had to pretend i didn't know him so Carlos wouldn't ask to many questions.

After i left the gym Milo took me home. I went in the house and went upstairs to shower. Carlos wasn't in the living room i thought he wasn't home until i heard him talking to somebody. He must have been on the phone because i only heard him talking.

When i got out the shower i cleaned up my room and looked at the time to see how long i had before the ball it was only 6pm i had 2 hours.

I layed across my bed looking at the dress i was going to wear tonight. I wasn't scared or hesitant but i was thinking about the fact that i had to be on high alert all night without making Carlos ask questions. I'm an amazing lier that wasn't the problem. It was that i had to keep lying to Carlos i wanted to tell him the truth but i guess it's better if he doesn't know.

I want downstairs because i haven't seen Carlos all day.

He was in the kitchen doing something so i went in there and sat on the counter.

"Whatcha you doing?"

"Looking for something to eat."

"Cool." i sat up there swinging my little legs back and forward.

He walked over to me and stood between my legs. That instantly made me nervous he was so close to me and i liked it more then i should have.

"So are you going to save me a dance tonight for what?" He got closer to close the space between us. He reached his hand over to my face and moved a piece of my hair behind my ear. I smiled because i was nervous.

"Carlos you can't dance."

"I mean if your just scared that you wont be able to keep up with me then that's fine." He put his hand on my thigh while he was talking to me.
