Bonnie and Clyde

Chapter 3

--Cat's POV--

I gasped. What kind of question is that. I looked at him wide eyed. He chuckled and looked down.

"I'll take that as a no."

I nodded.

"Well then I'll have to teach you." He said walking away from me

He disappeared into a room, leaving me there confused. I sat down on the couch. Why am I attracted to him? He's bad for me, but I have no choice but to stick with him.

"Hey Cat?" he called from his room.

"Yeah?"

"You're not afraid for guns are you?"

I swallowed hard.

"Kinda."

"Well we're gunna have to get over that."

"What are you-" I said turning around, then pausing in mid sentence.

Zayn stood behind me, with a handgun pointed at me. I stayed still. I felt like I have to prove that I wouldn't be scared at what ever was about to happen. I stared down the barrel of the gun pointed at my forehead. He cocked it, still I stayed frozen. I looked up at the now bare chested man in front of me. He smirked.

"Bang." he said

I stayed still.

"I like you. Your fearless."

A smile spread across my face.

--Zayn's POV--

"I-I'm not use to staying over at a strange mans house." Her voice was quite.

"I'm not a strange man Cat. Think of me as a business partner." I said making up her spot on the couch.

"Well I'm not that type of girl."

I smiled at her remark. I won't lie Cat was a strikingly beautiful girl, from her thin legs to her short bob haircut, I thought she was perfect. But I won't let myself get attached, not again.

"Zayn?"

"Yes love."

"Can you stay up with me?"

I smiled and nodded. I sat down and patted the spot next to me. She walked over to me and sat down.

"How do you rob a bank?"

"It's easy. Cat have you ever acted before?"

"Yeah I've done a few school plays."

"Well it's like acting."

Her face crinkled up in confusion.

"You'll see tomorrow."

"Zayn"

"Yea?"

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

I took in a breath and held it. I felt her hand on my knee. I looked at her to see her looking down. She got her answer. I put me arm over her shoulder, surprisingly she didn't retreat. I brought her into me chest.

"I won't hurt you. I'll protect you. We're a team."

"Like Bonnie and Clyde?"

"Exactly."

--Cat's POV--

"Is that bacon I smell?" He said reaching for a piece

He thought I didn't notice but I did. I grabbed the knife next to me and quickly spun around stabbing the table in the space between Zayn's fingers. He paused and stared at me. A smile crept across his lips.

"Wow. Where did you learn that?"

"Working in a gas station in Jamaica at night, you tend to learn a few things to defend yourself."

"That explains why you didn't flinch when I cocked my gun." He said smiling

"Exactly." I winked at me.

I honestly feel good about coming out of my day by day tradition.

"what bank we robbing today?"

He grabbed a glass of orange juice and walking into his room. Moments later he came back with a large map. He rolled it out on the coffee table.

"Here." He pointing at the map.

I looked closely.

"42nd street. That's H&R Block right?"

He nodded, sipping his juice.

"Go get in the shower."

"Zayn I have no clothes."

"I do."

"Why?"

"Don't question it please just go."

I nodded and walked to the bathroom
