Ready For Love (Drama/Romance)

♱🗡 Chapter 10 🗡💋

"Uncle Kenji might have wanted Tony dead," I told Simon. No, he didn't, unless... Kenji always had strange intentions. My dad couldn't figure it out and neither can I.

He would always ask for something in return for his help, which never sounded genuine. To me at least, at the time, it always sounded like he wanted something from us, or dad alone.

Simon and I were going to the courthouse to meet with a prosecutor. I rubbed my hands together, and they were wet with sweat. Wiping them on my shorts, I looked at Simon, who kept telling me that It'll work out eventually.

How can I trust that statement, Simon? Will it be okay? What if they decide to close the case again? Then what?

We wait for the prosecutor to come out. It takes a while, and when he finally does, he looks at us and says, "Hello, you must be Simon and Lashay. Please come in."

Two chairs sat there for us in the room. He sat in front of us, and opened a file, and said, "I have some questions for you, but first, I want to apologize for the delay."

"It is fine. We understand, you have a busy schedule," I replied. He had dark curly hair, and a nice smile. 

 The hallways, as they were empty since all of the students are in the gym. I couldn't hold it in and excused myself to go to the bathroom. Me and my bladder really....

As creepy as the halls are at this hour, I spot Myra on the phone and overhear a word or two which sends shivers down my spine. The moment she sees me she walks down the hallway, her back turned to me. "I'll get it done, babe"

Simon was here.... Why would... In an instant, I realized something. Kenji and her are... "Oh my god," To say it was horrifying would be an understatement.

I went to the bathroom and came out, to follow her without her knowing that I was there. I just need to be careful. 

 From a distance, I watch as she takes something out and pops my car tire. Is this what she meant?

We introduced ourselves to the handsome prosecutor, and he explained what was going to happen. "Since the case is going to trial again.... There will be some things... unpleasant memories of your past that have to be brought up."

I nod in understanding and say, "Whatever will help to get us to the truth. I'll go along with it if it means this will bring down my Uncle"

 We arrive back at Simon's house a little later than planned and mostly stuffed with the snacks we ate while talking with the prosecutor. "Did your parents go out?"

"I guess they did.... Let me check my phone." He opens his message app and sees that Mr and Mrs Waverly notified him before leaving the house. "They are at the movie theater."

"What movie is it?" I ask. "Romance?"

"Could be... Let them enjoy and we can enjoy..... This place to ourselves..."

"You don't mean," I start and he confirms. 

Resting my head on his shoulder, I close my eyes and listen to his heartbeat. And the show we have on the tv. It's peaceful... Pure peace and... A loud knock.... It keeps getting louder.

"Who is that?" I ask, and look at him.

He shrugs and then says, "Advertisement?"

"At this hour? It is odd don't you think?"

"I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE.... I HAVE A GUN AND I CAN SHOOT YOU AND HER RIGHT NOW! SO OPEN THE DOOR!"

That voice.... It sounds like....
