Dangerous

Chapter 12

SHAWN POV

Looking at Megan as she makes dinner since it's her and Gloria's night to cook. I admire her. Her curves, her fluffy hair that I definitely enjoyed pulling. I chuckle to myself at the memories. But also a wave of sadness covers me as I think on how we got here.

Sadly if this hit wasn't on Kellon's head we wouldn't have seen her again or met Aylani. And that bothers me everyday.

I make my presence known making them both turn around and smile at me when I tell them good morning. I earn it back from them and I quickly take a seat at the island watching them.

"You know since you up early you could help us" Gloria says holding a spatula towards me

I grab in as she goes take my seat leaving me to stand next to Megan flipping the salmon filets over.

I elbow her as I jokingly tell her to not burn the broccoli. She giggles rolling her eyes.
"You don't burn my fish nigga!" I hear behind us making me slowly turn to Gloria

"Alright Glo..." I say and turn back around plating some of the salmon filets that are cooked

I look over and see the rest of the filets on Megan's side. I ask her for it and she passes it to me. Our hands touch and we let it linger for a bit.

"...sorry" she says
"No I'm sorry...we gotta get your nails done I see. It has been a little over a month now"

"Oh we love an observant man..." Glo says behind us making me chuckle as Megan rolls her eyes

"That I am. Don't worry your nails gonna be done too Glo. Just making sure you all are taken care of...especially Aylani. She's so smart" I say

"That she is. I know she talk to you all the time. So you probably know that she reads. She's advance" she says

"That she definitely is...you did a wonderful job Meg..and I grateful that you're letting us be apart of her life"

"Thank my mama for that. Cause I didn't want to..but it's not about me it's about her"

"Well I thank her and God for it. Cause that gives me both of y'all in my life...." I say staring at her

I watch her take a deep breath then nervously scratch the back of her neck. I bet she want me just as bad as I want her right now.

It remains quiet as we continue to cook.
"Do I make you uncomfortable?" I ask her

She stops taking another deep breath and turns looking at me.
"Shawn. I-I don't know. It's like I allowed y'all in to everything of me. I shared things about myself with y'all. And my gosh I freaking slept with y'all multiple times...and I didn't know y'all. Y'all kill people...just like y'all killed that woman on the boat...Y'all lied to me and; yeah it just makes me uncomfortable...and as much as I shouldn't I want to be with y'all so bad..." she mumbles out the last part

I turn seeing that Glo left us alone in the kitchen, so I grab her by her waist; "I know this is awkward and not at all what you envisioned your life to be. But know that just as much as you want us; we want you. In those days we vibed and enjoyed each others company and when we left it hurt us to leave you the way we did. But we had to. We're bad people...and in that moment we weren't bad. We were just regular people and it was good to escape the life we live but we hurt you in the process. And for that I'm sorry for. But know that not a day went by and we wasn't thinking on you..." I say
