Chapter 21: Sneaking Out / Interrogations / Found

Riley dribbled around the private court, avoiding his fiancée at all costs as he tried to get closer to the basket. Cindy maybe was shorter, but she was defensive enough, always blocking him with the famous crab stance. Eventually Riley spun quickly, skid around her, jumped, and shot. They both, out of breath watched the ball roll around the basket's circumference and fall away from the hoop.

"Damn!" Riley threw his hands in the air. He had been losing his touch.

Cindy sniggered. "That's four outta two, nigga. I win!"

Riley scoffed. "Hard luck. Go again?"

"Winner's need their breaks." Cindy chuckled again and walked to her towel, ignoring Riley's mumbling. She snatched her towel and water bottle on her way out, with Riley's bouncing the ball becoming distant. Out of one of the hallways, one of the maids rushed out and to the blonde, holding the phone to her chest. "It's Mr Caesar.

Cindy rolled her eyes. "Put it on speaker." The maid did that and followed Cindy as she held the phone close to her ear. "Wassup Caes?"

"Hey Cindy. Just wanted to call and say hi. Where Riley at?"

"Occupied," Cindy responded before swallowing a large gulp of water. "How are you doing, Caes?"

"I'm...grea--"

"Ming told us about your depression so don't try lie."

She heard a sigh.

"Ay...call me paranoid, but ion want you sittin' alone in New York. Why not come to L.A? You can even stay and watch our next game. Fuck hotels, you can even stay with us."

"....really?"

Cindy snorted. "Hell yeah, 'really'." She frowned when he was silent. "Just think about it, aight?"

"...fo sho."

"Peace."

"Bye."

The maid pulled her tired arm away from Cindy's ear and went back to work. Leaving Cindy to think.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Jasmine, I wasn't going to leave you in that house. You need to go out once in a while."

"...never leaving the mansion is actually kind of the point of the whole protection program."

Selena rolled her pretty eyes and made a sharp turn off the dust road, making Jasmine squeak.

Jasmine had been stuck in the mansion for a week, there was a point where she mentioned she was bored and Selena said she'd take her out. Obviously the others wouldn't agree, but fate seemed to be in their favour. Rosa was taking one of her daily naps, Rocco, Huey and some of the other men had disappeared to only God knows where. And the men who were in the home at the time we're distracted by the television.

"This is actually kind of exciting!" Selena chirped, smoothly speeding up her dark ferrari. It was a gift from her father on her sixteenth birthday. "I'm never allowed to leave without one of the guards. They're usually always following me."

"Rocco?"

Selena rolled her eyes. "Freaking Rocco." She made another sharp turn that caused Jasmine to hit her seat. "Ow! Can you slow down?!"
