Gemini

Chapter 9

Megan's pov

I just got off work and I was heading over to see Victoria. This week has been picking up. They're officially going to arrest Imani, and I know she will get a lawyer. I need to keep Imani as far away from Victoria as possible. Her getting locked up will put a target on my back, which is another thing I must stress about.

I made it to Victoria's place, and she had R&B music blasting throughout her place. In another life she was definitely a singer. She recently gave me a key to her place since most of the time I am here anyways.

I put myself down and took my shoes off. She was near the living room dancing and singing along. She had a wine glass in her hand and in between singing she would take a sip.

I walked over to her and started dancing along with her grabbing her waste from behind. She kept her pace and knew it was me that was behind her.

She started to hum the song as it ended. Then reached down for the remote to turn off the speaker before the next song even played.

I kept my hands on her hips as she turned around to face me.

"I thought I was meeting you for date night?" she said.

"I wanted to pick you up cause clearly you decided to get your pregame on." I said.

She pulled away from my grip and walked to the kitchen and I followed behind her. "Please it is just a glass of wine. Also, I'm too grown to pregame." She rinsed her wine glass before resting it in the sink. "So you going to go dressed as my bodyguard or you brought a change of clothes?"

"I brought a change of clothes since you wanna be funny." Victoria was dressed in a very casual fit because we're just doing dinner and I told she didn't need to dress up. Even though her casual is still sexy as fuck.

"Well hurry up and change your girl hungry as fuck." I rolled my eyes cause clearly that "one glass of wine" is getting to her cause she only cusses when she is tipsy.

An hour later.

I hit decline one more time and placed my phone back on the table. I looked up and seen Victoria staring me down as she took a sip from her wine glass. She never broke eye contact as she placed the glass down. I already knew what she was about to say.

"Someone must desperately need to get in contact with you." She said. I knew I needed to keep my composure because Victoria is a pro at reading body language.

"Its just my little sis trying to get some money out of me." I said. I know that's a lie because me and my little sister was never that close, but I don't need Victoria knowing that Imani is blowing up my phone.

"Let call her back real quick" I said getting up mainly because Victoria's stare was starting to become too intense for me to keep my composure.

I quickly made my way outside and walked to the side of the restaurants to make sure I wasn't insight of anyone potentially listening.

I clicked Imani's number and just as I was about to put the phone to my ear then suddenly, I was snatched and pushed against the building. I tried to fight but one of the guys holding me put a knife to my neck "Think again bitch" he said as he pressed it closer.

"So you think you're the one calling shots around here?" Imani said approaching me. "This bitch got you distracted. So distracted that you let her get the piece of information I am paying your ass to keep hidden. Now that she knows why do I need you alive?" she said then the guy pressed the knife even closer to my neck as I tried to back away but couldn't escape the pressure that was being applied to my neck.

"The only thing keeping you alive is the fact you're a cop and I can't risk that heat, but guess who's not a cop?" She said walking closer to me. "Go ahead guess." She said as if I could talk with a knife pressed against my neck. "That sick ass mom of yours." She said with a smirk before gesturing for the guys to let me go. I fell to the ground coughing.

"Th-they're going to arrest you....tomorrow." I said as I tried to catch my breath. "You need to leave tonight." I knew I should've told her the full reason why they wanted to arrest her. She only knows that the DA uncover who her father was, but she doesn't know they want her to turn.

"And you were just going to let them." I looked up at her as I was still on one knee. "I'll make sure to pay Mommy a visit before I leave." She before she walked away.

I put my head down in defeat. I heard my phone ringing so I struggled to get up before walking over to where it fell when I was ambushed. It was Victoria. I declined it and called Toni.

"Toni, I need you to head to the hospital. I got a tip that Imani found out about my mom and she may be targeting her."

"Why would she do that? And who told you that?" Toni said. I sighed in frustration as I walked back in the restaurant.

"Look none of that matters. I would head there myself but I'm with Victoria and I don't need her getting involved. Can you do me this one favor? Please."

"Yea I got you."

I thanked her before I hung up. I made my way back to our table. Victoria popped up once she seen me. She analyzed my whole body as I sat down.

"Did the waiter come to take our order?" I said ignoring her look.

"Did the- Megan where were you because I know for sure a call telling your sister yes or no for some money doesn't take that long."

I looked up at Victoria and as soon as our eyes connected, I could feel the tears forming. Her look even softened as she was about to ask what was wrong the waiter came. I broke away and gave my attention to the waiter, but I could feel Victoria still staring at me. Even when she ordered she never stopped looking at me and it is making it harder to hold back tears.

Imani told me she knows she can never kill me because I am cop, but if she ever felt that she couldn't trust me, she would kill everyone that I love.

I rested my head in my hands and was fiddling with my napkin on the table when Victoria placed her hand on top of mind. I looked up at her and knew she would be Imani's next target.

What have I done?
