Deception

Tatiana POV

I woke up to go check on Savi, and Riah at their rooms. As I was walking in the hallway, I bumped into Nikki Bitchy, Bitchy Nikki.

"Oh, i'm so sorr--"

"Stay away from my man, hoe. Oh, and tomorrow at the beach, I'll have my eyes on you." Nikki threatened.

"Hoe? I don't know who you think I am, but I am not a hoe. Get your stank attitude away from me. And you better keep your eyes safe and secure to YO self, otherwise you won't be coming back with em." I quickly said as I rolled my eyes, and went to Savi's room.

*knock knock*

Savian POV

"Good mor--"

"YOU CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT THIS BITCH JUST TOLD ME!" Tati started.

"Whoaaa, chill. What happened?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes.

"Nikki bitchy, just told me to stay from my man, in which she referred to as her man of course. Then she called me a hoe, like WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, BITCH YOU HAVE SLEPT WITH SOOOOOOO MANY GUYS, AND I HAVEN'T SLEPT WITH ONE, WHO IS THE HOE HERE?!" she exclaimed.

"Damn, calm down." I said.

"Calm down? You telling me to calm down when this trifling ass heffa, is trying to take MY man??" she retorted.

"Tati...." Savi whined.

"Hell to the no! I will not calm down!" she exclaimed, "The fuck you think you is?" she said under her breath.

"Someone with some better grammar, and temper bitch." I said rolling my eyes as I got dressed.

Tatiana sat down and stared around without speaking another word.

After Tatiana calmed down a little, we went over to Riah's room, then to the mall.

Tatiana POV

After a successful shopping spree, we were getting ready to head back and..

"Oop. Looks like Kevin wants ya girl to come ova." Riah said playfully as we chuckled.

"Oh, yeah, Jac wants to meet up about some confession.. y'all know what that's about?" Savi asked.

"His love for you.. duh.." I replied.

"Doubt it." she retorted.

"Nah, I think Tati might be right." Riah stated. "See y'all." she said as she left the mall.

"Bye Tati." Savi said as she also left the mall.

"Bye y'all." I said as I sighed, walking outside to call an Uber.

Savian POV

Well, Jac wasn't specific on what I should wear, so I'm gonna be kinda casual this evening.

-outfit below-

After about 15 minutes of dressing up, a knock was at my door.

"Hey, you ready?" Jac asked as I opened the door.

"Yep, I'm all ready." I said as I locked my door.

As we were making our way to the elevator, Amara happened to be entering as well.

"Oh, hey." she said as we entered.

"Hi." Jac and I replied.

"Where y'all going?" she said with more force in her voice.

"Just some place quiet, why?" Jac questioned.

"Oh, well can I come? You know I'm bored here by myself.." Amara said with a smile.

"I wish you could," I said with sarcasm under my breath, "but as Jac said, we want a place that is quiet and I don't think that would be the situation, I mean, if you went." I said in my head as I looked away.

She looked me up and down as she stared at Jacques with pleading eyes. He awkwardly looked around the elevator not saying a word.

Luckily the elevator opened as we all exited.

We finally made it to this beautiful restaurant. We got our seat and soon were served.

"This is nice." I said.

"Eh, it's okay." he chuckled nervously.

"Confession?" I asked, looking in his eyes.

"Well.." he chuckled again as he looked down.

"SAV, there you are, I've been looking everywhere for you!" Lucas said as he entered the restaurant making all eyes turn our direction as he approached our table.

Jacques looked up at me with a face full of hurt and confusion.

I looked back and sighed as I closed my eyes and dreamt that Lucas hadn't come.

"Wassup bae?" Lucas whispered into my ear.

"What is it that you want from me? Didn't I tell you to leave me be?!" I whisper-yelled at his face as I continued to close my eyes.

"Bae.. I gotta tell you somethin.." Lucas started.

"Looks like the two of you need some space to sort things out. See ya, Sav." Jacques said as he got up and left a check. He grabbed his coat, got his keys and left the door.

"No for real, people are looking for you." Lucas said nonchalantly.

"Jac.." I pleaded silently as I sighed again and watched him leave.

"Listen to me, bitch, I'm not lying." Lucas said as he pulled my chin towards his direction.

I looked away again.

"Suit yourself." He said.

Jac: I'll be in the car, I can't leave you here with him, let me know when you two are done.

I felt so bad. I didn't get to hear what he had to say, he went through this whole effort to do this for me and Lucas and his crew had to come and screw it all up.

"WHAT?!" I finally said as I zoned in again.

--

Two seconds later sounds of gunshots surrounded the area. Screams filled the restaurant as everyone ran around and hid for their own lives.

"SHIT." Lucas said, as he pulled me underneath the table.

He left me under the table and said, "I love you, Sav." He tried to kiss me, but I dodged. Eventually he gave up and left with his gun.

From the peek of underneath the table cover, I could see strange men running around as if they were looking for something, or someone. I closed my eyes and prayed a prayer I hadn't prayed in forever.

God please save these innocent souls. Take me if it's the price that needs to be paid.

The gunshots died down so I took out my phone to text Jac.

Sav: are you okay?? I just heard gunshots

No response.
