Criminals

Chapter 2

Work ended and I had been given my pay for the day, it wasn't much but the feeling of money being placed in my hand is amazing. Maybe I can go to the mall and buy myself a perfume or a moisturizer and all those other girly products that are advertised almost everywhere.

I walked out and was greeted by Jamal who had Just gotten out of his car. Jamal was loaded. More than I first thought when we met, he has his own house that I have been to multiple times. He says his parents supply him with the money to buy things this luxurious. I don't have parents. I don't have money. And I guess I feel a little jealous when I see people afford simple to luxury things where as I can barely afford to keep a roof over my head.

"Hey Jamal." I gave him a a hug.

"Lola! You ready? Still looking good I see." He smiled.

"Jamal, I'm in my uniform. I'm always in my uniform. How can I be looking good?"

"I love you in that uniform..makes you look sexy." He whispered huskily as he brought his lips to kiss my neck.

"Jamal, that...tickles." I giggled.

"Exactly why I'm doing it babe. Anyways, come on, I have somewhere to take you." He said pulling back, taking hold of my hand and pulling into the car.

"Somewhere special?" I asked him.

"Definitely. Somewhere special. Somewhere New." I saw the smirk on his lips and it made me feel giddy inside, it made me wonder how I've landed such a nice guy, a guy who looks past my imperfections and likes me for me.

Half way throughout the journey we had reached a grassy plain with a few trees scattered about. Where was he taking me? I guess when he said it would be something new, he wasn't kidding.

"..Lola? Are you even listening?"

I snapped out of my thought bubble and faced him with a sheepish smile. "Sorry." I giggled.

"What's on your mind babe?"

"Well, I'm just curious about where you're taking me, that's all." I told him.

He let out a small chuckle. "Don't worry, we'll be there soon. Oh! I almost forgot, since its a surprise, you have to wear this."

"Wear what?" I asked, then I saw him pull out a small material from his pocket.

"Its a blind fold."He handed me the thin silk piece and I slipped it over my eyes and secured signature back of my head. I couldn't wait for this surprise!

Fifteen minutes or so later, the car came to a slow stop. Jamal was calm and collected but I was ecstatic. I wondered where we could be!?

"Are you exited?" He asked me as he lead me somewhere.

"Extremely! But when can I take this off?"

"Not just yet. Very soon." He whispered. I gave him nod and then he lead me up a few stairs. The stairs creaked beneath our weight and I wondered how old this place could be? I mean rickety steps? Come on..

I heard him open the door and lead me inside. I heard the door shut. And lock. Then I felt something I haven't felt in a while.

He pushed me.

With so much force I didn't know he had and the fact that it came as a surprise made the impact worse. I hit the floor hard that my head made a loud bang when I came into contact with the hard wooden floor.

"Jamal?! Why the he'll did you just push me!?" I screamed as i held onto my head, maintaining consciousness.

"Because that's where dirty scum like you belong." He seethed, it didn't sound like him...

It wasn't Jamal.

What the hell is going on?!"
