Encounters of Love

Part 7: Forever?

       It's been about two weeks since I first came here. My routines have been the same and me and Daniel hav gotten closer. Yet, I still don't like him. I've tried forcing it on myself but I couldn't stand it. He was really pretty but he's not the one I want.
        This morning I woke up to gun shots outside Daniels window. They told me to calm down and said that it's normal to here gun shots.
       I sat at the table eating my cereal, wondering when Luhsette was gonna call me back. It's been two weeks and she still hasn't responded. While I was thinking about Luhsette, Daniel and Rico were non-stop arguing.
         "If you weren't my brother, I WOULD'VE KILLED YOU!" Screamed Rico. I wouldn't blame him. Daniel was very stubborn and only cared about himself.
         "Well, FUCK YOU THEN." Daniel yelled back. "Pedazo de mierda." Daniel mumbled under his breathe.
         "WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Yelled Rico.
         "Nothing." He said while walking back up to his room.
          After I was done eating my cereal I cleaned up my space then washed my dish and then ran upstairs to Daniel. When I got there he had no shirt on. I couldn't help but stare at his nice abs. I looked back up at his face and saw that he was really mad. So, I didn't bother to speak to him or ask what's wrong.
         "Get your shit together. We're leaving." He said while putting a different shirt on.
         "Where?" I asked.
         "Does that matter? GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER I SAID." He demanded in his deep voice.
         I put on different clothing and grabbed my blanket. Since that was the only thing I had left of mine. Daniel put his gun in the waistband of his boxers. I thought that was weirdly attractive. I followed Daniel downstairs, to the kitchen. He grabbed some random keys and then opened the front door to leave. But before we left I heard Rico call my name.
          "Aniyah!" He said while throwing his cigarette out. "Come here."
          I went and stood in front of Rico like he asked.
          "You wanna stay here instead?" He asked.
          I looked at Daniel and he looked mad.
          "Aye. Let her choose. She's not your bitch no more." Rico said to Daniel. "Unless she wants to be." He said looking me up and down.
         I looked and at Daniel and decided it was safer just to go with him instead of staying with Rico and his gang. I heard the girls laughing.
         "Oh she wants to be with Daniel? Isn't that true love. (Laughs)" I could hear her laugh after I closed the door. It was so annoying. It sounded like a bunch of hyenas.
         "Ok let's see which car this is." Daniel said. He pressed the key so the car would make a noise. It was the red mustang that Rico kidnapped me in. Not gonna lie, I did like it, but it brought back horrible memories.
          I got in the passenger seat. As soon as we started driving, Daniel put his hand on my inner thigh. He started moving his hand closer and closer to my (you know what). I grabbed his hand to stop him. He looked at me and laughed.
         "I can tell you don't get turned on easily." He said.
         "Hm." I said.
         "So you gonna talk to me or what?"  
         I just stared at him in frustration. I crossed my arms and looked the other way. Outside my window.
          "I'm not your bitch, you know." I added.
          "Damn. I really want you to be."
          I looked at him and he looked at me and laughed.
           "I'm just playing." He said. Then he turned and smiled at me. "I want you to be my princess."
           I smiled and looked towards my window again. I didn't want him to see that I was blushing.
          "Your not like other girls I met." He said. "The other girls all looked the same. They all wanted one thing, too. That was sex."
          I turned and looked at him and stared blankly into his nice green eyes.
          "You." He continued. "You are more. Your are not an easy target. And your so pretty. I wouldn't give you up for anything, mi hermosa."
         I started blushing again. This man really knows what my soft spot is. I realized something, though. What did he mean by target. And how many other girls had he kidnapped? I thought. I brushed it off y shoulder. I didn't want to ruin the moment with my negativity.
           When we got to a stop light, Daniel pulled something out of his pocket. It was powder. He put some on his finger and snorted it. I just stared at him in disgust.
           "You want?" He asked me. Handing me over the powder.
           "No."
           "Ah. Come on. You only live once."
           He wasn't wrong. My life was getting ruined by the second, so what's gonna happen if I do one small thing?
         I took the powder and put some on my finger. I snorted it. I started coughing. Daniel started laughing. I didn't think it was funny myself. He took the powder back and snorted some more, then put it away. He then pulled out some coke. He offered me one and I took it.
         When I opened the can, a scent came out. A strong one. I took a sip and spit it out.
         "Yo! This is a mustang. Your gonna ruin it." He screamed.
         "Sorry." I said cleaning up my mess.
          "It's fine. You better finish that drink."
          I pinched my nose and started chugging it down my throat. I didn't want to taste it. It was very strong. So, I got drunk really fast.
          After driving for about one hour, we stopped at a house. There were guys sitting in the front of the house. It looked like a party. But it wasn't.
          "Aye. Qué es bueno con tú? [what's good with you?] " His friend yelled from the porch. We walked onto the grass and Daniel grabbed a big bottle of alcohol and two shot glasses.
        "Qué tal! [whats up]" Daniel responded back. While dapping up his friend.
