15 : Are you in love ?

I screw on my silencer and I put out my blunt. We're waiting for Chris to arrive. When there's a knock on the door, I reach for the handle and wave at the others to hide. I open the door but frown. There's no one there.

"Yo what the fuck is going on ?" Sam grumbles.

"Ion know bro."

I check in the hallway.

"Did someone knock ? You might have just misheard."

"Maybe."

I try to close the door but something blocks it.

"Sam look."

I take the object before realizing it's a smoke bomb.

"Shit !"

We run away from the object before it explodes. A thick smoke overwhelmes the living room. I use my t-shirt as a mask to avoid breathing the releasing fumes.

"The windows !" I scream.

Another man helps me open the windows. The smoke slowly fades. We turn around and face a group of armed man. We aim at each other.

"Who's Chris ?" I ask.

A man steps forward.

"Wassup Dorian ? I knew you had sum shit going on, I expecting it from you." He smiles. "Come on brotha we both know she needs some vacation. Oh by the way... Did you change the sheets ?"

I frown, "The fuck is you talking bout ?"

"She didn't tell you ? I guess we all have our little secrets."

"I'ma fuck you up !"

"You liked that necklace huh ? Man she was CRAZY bout it. She's lucky she found a nigga like me."

I shoot one of his men. I'm losing my composure.

"Damn nigga !" Chris laughs, "Who would have thought a girl would be your biggest weakness ! A grown ass man like-"

"Man shut the fuck up you runnin yo big mouth like a bitch." Sam interrups. "You've made the biggest mistake of your entire life. We coming for your boss."

"Well as you see, we're expecting you. I was born ready boy you ain't built for that."

"What the fuck do you want ?" I ask, losing patience.

"Right now I just want London." He shrugs. "You're in my way."

"Well she ain't available. Fuck off."

Chris takes the time to light his cigarette. I start to think. What is he saving time for ? I briefly eye contact at Sam, who immediately reads my mind. He cocks his gun, making everyone in the room do the same.

"If your men shoot, mine will follow. You want London to clean up the mess ?"

Another ten men step at the door. Chris is a stupid ass nigga. Coming in MY building, in MY appartment and thinking you can end me just like that ? He's a rookie.

"Aight aight." He nervously smiles. "I'll leave. But we will meet again, Dorian Robinson."

"Fuck you man."

They finally leave. I smack my lip. Anger is just growing. I'm mad as fuck for everything he just said. I will personnally kill this nigga.

"I know you mad bro." Sam says. "But at least she's still safe."

"We gotta leave. We can't stay here."

"Go to your other place downtown."

I head to the bedroom to pack some clothes and London's belongings. She starts to wake up.
