Don't Tell; It's Our Secret

Chapter 30

Tommy

The SUV pulled up to a mall. I saw countless cars, countless people, and so many police officers my head was spinning.

"Let us out first, Vinny," Wu called.

I felt my heart racing. My hands were clammy, and ears were ringing. When was the last time I was outside? What day was it?

"Yes Boss," the kid answered as he parked the car in front.

Wu got out first, then slammed his door shut.

I jumped instinctively as he pulled my door open and held his hand out. "Come," he beckoned.

I reached out my shaky hand and he grasped it firmly. Without another word, Wu yanked me from the car. My legs were shaking as I stood tall. Wu still towered over me, but I didn't care. I was outside...for the first time in God knew how long. Even if it was just a mall...

"Let's go," Wu put his hand on my waist and guided me closer to the building.

My eyes widened at the sight of San Francisco Centre...I had always wanted to go, but had never been able too...how did he know?

"Are you happy, baby?" I cringed as he called me Baby, but I was in no place to run. He had his hand on my waist, and I knew he was packing heat...he always was.

I just shook my head and gave him a fake smile.

"Good," he smiled back. "Come," he guided me into the building itself.

My mouth gaped as I stared into the shininess that was the interior. It was like heaven...gay heaven. I heard Wu laugh beside me and I jerked my head toward him.

"You're cute," he laughed some more as he guided me toward one of the fancy stores. Jewelry lined the display windows, as did expensive clothing and accessories.

"W-What are-," I tried to speak, but my voice couldn't go above a whisper.

"It's a surprise," he whispered in my ear.

"Vinny!" He called, and the kid came running up from behind us.

"lǎobǎn? (Boss?)" Vinny kept his voice low.

"Tell Old Lady Jiao that I am here and I want my orders. Also tell her to bring out her silver bracelets." He eyed me as he spoke.

Apparently the English was for me, as he usually spoke to Vinny in...Mandarin, Bei-Ye called it. I guessed that was the Chinese language's real name.

"Shì de (Yes)," Vinny smiled brightly and rushed into the store.

Wu kept his arm around me as he peered into the display window. In the corner of the window, I could see the faint reflection of a TV. It was on the news and there was a banner on the bottom of screen.

My heart rate quickened as I read it.

"STILL NO NEWS OF THE DISAPPEARANCE OF HOMOCIDE WITNESS, TOMAS SOUSA, AGED 17, DARK BROWN HAIR, DARK BLUE EYES."

Wu must've seen it too, as he causally pulled me with him into the fancy store.

"Jiao!" His voice turned chipper and again my head whipped back. I didn't know he could sound like that.

"Luómǎ!" The woman with grey hair shined as her eyes fell on Wu.

I raised an eyebrow at her. I couldn't understand what she said.

"Wèi nǐ, (For you)" she passed him a bag. "Zhèxiē shì shǒuzhuó (These are the bracelets)," She set down a tray in front of Wu.

"Yǒu chéng duì de ma? (Any pairs?)" he leaned over a bit, bringing me a bit down with him as he peered at the bracelets.

I moaned at bit at the pain in my back, so he casually dropped his arm from my shoulder and took my hand in his own. He pulled it up onto the table and placed it beneath his chest.

"Wǒ xǐhuān zhèxiē (I like these)." He pointed to a pair of silver bracelets.

"Hǎo de! Hǎo de! (Good! Good!)" the old lady smiled widely at him as she picked them up.

"Hey look at them..." whispered caught my attention. "Do you think they're...you know?" My eyes turned to see a couple of girls nearby, staring.

"What?" The other snarled, "they can't be!" She waved her hand, "just look at them!"

"I think they are..." the other eyed Wu and I as he spoke in Mandarin to the woman.

"Xièxiè Ni! (Thank you!)" he stood up straighter and bowed slightly as he put his arm back around my shoulder. "Bebeeeeee," he nuzzled me.

"I TOLD YOU SO!" The girl from before spoke louder than she meant too, grabbing Wu's attention.

His eyes snapped toward them and the girls cowered underneath his iron gaze of fury. They ran off as he turned back to me and smiled. He leaned in close to my ear, "you've been such a good boy..." he cooed, "I might as well reward you." He suddenly kissed my head and I felt my hands ball up.

"Y-Yes," was all I could manage to say as the lady brought back another box, which Wu took into his hands.

"Let's go home, Bebe." He cooed as he led me out of the fancy store.

Vinny reappeared then; he was covered with bags.

"Where'd you go?" I asked without thinking.

"Oh...uhm...I had some shopping to do too," he laughed a little as he walked up to the suç and waved his foot.

The trunk opened and he unloaded his bags in the back.

"Vinny," Wu called.

Vinny didn't speak as he closed the trunk and raced up front, unlocking the doors.

"You first," Wu smiled at me as I climbed into the SUV.

He was quick to follow me as slam the door.

"You're such a good boy," he repeated as he grabbed my ankle and yanked me downward.

My heart beat quickened again.

"What're you doing!" I cried quietly.

"Giving you a reward for behaving," he kept smiling.

"What reward?!" I panicked as he climbed on top of me.

"You know..." his jewlery covered hand went to my pants.

"W-Wait!" I grabbed his wrist.

He raised an eyebrow. "Hm?" He vocalized.

"We're in public!" I stressed.

"So?" He kept going.

It was just my luck that I attracted the attention of a Chinese gang leader who, apart from being bipolar, was also a voyeur.

"No!" I begged.

"Why?" He asked with genuine wonderment.

"I-I'm shy..." I tried to make puppy dog eyes instead of fear filled ones.

"Oh..." he laughed again. "My Bebe...so shy..." he kissed my forehead, then leaned down and took my lips into his mouth.

He kissed me with fiery passion for what felt like forever...my breath stalled a bit and I had to grab at his shoulders to get him to pull back from me.

He was smiling like an idiot as he rose up and opened the door.

"Vinny!" He shouted, "dào fángzile! (To the house!)," he slammed the door shut again.

"Sit," he cleared his throat as I raised myself up into a normal position.

My neck and back ached.

Vinny hoped in The drivers seat and sped off into the city again as my eyes rolled over Wu. His face was a bit flushed, and he was trying to conceal the face that he was horny as hell.

As I started at him covering himself a bit, an unimaginable thought crossed my mind...

Had Wu stopped...because I asked?
