Falling for Marshall

Chapter 14

Leah P.O.V:
The flight just landed and I was walking down to the parking. I looked at the number plate number on the piece of paper and went looking for the car, once I found it was black jeep wrangler the 1986 model, just up Rays street. I placed my luggage in the back with the help of the airport employees. I opened the door and climbed in the car it was kinda big for me, it must have been a car that Ray used when he would go deal drugs. I started the engine which roared to life and exited the car park. It was my first time in Chicago so I had to ask a few people for directions by showing them my adress.

I parked infront of a tall building and jumped out, the neighbourhood looked...I guess ghetto in a way, it was much better then Detroit but you could still see thugs on the streets dealing, dealing in the day light? Not many cops must be around here then. I grabbed my handbag and locked the keys to the jeep. I walk towards the building and walk up the stairs, at the top there were a few mexican men, smoking weed and laughing.

"Hey lil mama.." One guy stopped me by standing infornt of me, he took his hand out to shake mine. He was fairly built and had a brown hair and dark brown eyes and was kinda hot, scratch that really hot..but you could tell he was the big shot around here with all the guys laughing and talking to him and all the girls giggling and flirting with him.

"Hi.." I smiled, all the attention was on me now with his group staring.

"I'm Alejandro, but people call me jandro..and you must be?" He asks still holding his hand out.

"Oh, I'm Leah, it's nice to me you Alejandro." I say shaking his hand, I loved the way his name rolled off my tongue.

"Likewise Leah." He smirks and kisses the back of my hand. My phone starts to ring in my coat pocket.

"Boyfriend?" Jandro asks frowning and rasing his brow, I look at the contact number and ignore him as I walk past him and up the stairs.

"Hey, pretty...you might not wanna leave your suitcases in the back of the Jeep...we have a lot of...thieves around here.." He eyes one boy in particular.

"Hey!" The boy jumps of the wall, which makes Jandro chuckle.

"Alright cousin, don't knock me down with your size now.." He chuckles along with the others. Jandro holds up his hands for me to chuk the keys at him, sighing I chuck the keys and he catches them. He looks at the key chain and stares at it for a while.

"R.A the initials...this ain't your car is it?" He says looking up R.A were Fay initials.

"Uhm, No it's a friend's." He stares at me for a while, examining me, I felt uncomfortable under his gaze for a while, he chucks the keys at his friend, a tall built mexican who examines the key chain for a minute and shoots off the wall when he looks at the initials, he moves towards jandro and hands him the keys back mumbling something.

"When did you come here from Detroit?" Jandro asks staring at me with the same stare that made me uncomfortable.

"I..wait I didn't say I was from Detroit..." He stares at me for a while. "Can I have my keys back.." No answer. "...Please." Jandro chucks them at my feet.

"Jerk." I mumble as I pick him up,

"Ay, you better watch it pretty...or when your done with me that face of yours won't be so pretty anymore.." He smirks, A few giggles go around, he wraps his arms around one of the girls, but she didn't laugh at his joke, I look at her for a few seconds but she drops her gaze to the ground. Weird.

I take a look around tne apartment once I'm in..it's actually nice. Theres a couch area with leather couchs right by the window and behind it is the kitchen area. Near the couch area is also a small dining table for four. I walk up the metal staircase, once up right on top of the stair case a single leather sofa with a table infront of it there a window infront of table where you can see Alejandro and his group smoking, there's also a small balcony where you can look down and see the couch area, I turn around and go for the first room on the right, there's a king size bed, the room was white, everything in the room was white, the whole room was really nice, I was guessing this was the guest room, it also had a nice small bathroom.
