Forbidden Love

Chapter 11

I let myself relax as I walk through the mall, making my way around to all my favorite stores.

Shopping has always been a stress reliever for me. Although I may spend some unnecessary money, focusing my mind on buying a new outfit gets my mind off all the other craziness going on in my life.

Noticing the adorable hot pink pumps sitting in the window, I find myself wandering into a small boutique I've never been in.

Before I know it I'm at the register with three shoe boxes in my hand, I really couldn't choose my favorite out of the trio.

I pay for my shoes and walk out the store attempting to make my way to the food court. My quest is soon interupted when I violently bump into someone standing in my way.

"Excuse me, Im so sorry!" I say to the stranger hurriedly, not even bothering to look at who the person was.

"It's all good, Adrianna. It's been a while since I've seen your fine ass. What's up with you?" I hear a undoutedly familar voice say just as I was beginning to walk away.

Ugh not today..

"Hi Jerome, nice seeing you again but I really gotta go. Have a nice day" I say in a rushed tone trying to avoid all conversation with him.

Jerome was someone Chris works for and I know Chris is trying to keep everything on the downlow right now. Which means I don't need to be talking to anyone who could add even more trouble to whatever Chris has gotten himself into.

I turn around in the direction of the food court but am rudely interrupted by someones body stepping infront of me once again.

"Don't act like you can't talk Adrianna, we got some business to discuss. Untill then, you don't 'gotta go go' anywhere" he said harshly making me begin to panic.

Breathe Adri , breathe.

Mustering up all the courage, strength, and attitude I could find in my body I opened my mouth try my best to sound as confident as possible.

"I don't know who you think you're talking to, ordering me around like one of your little hoes. I am not discussing anything with you because we have nothing to discuss. I don't have time for this" I say boldly walking away quickly before he could say a word. I only made it a few steps before I was harshly grabbed by the wrist and spun around to face a very annoyed Jerome.

"Bitch, I don't know who the fuck you're talking to. I beat girls too I don't spare anyone! So you listen to me before I get somebody to blow your fucking brains out. You are going to walk with me and we are going to go to the little restaraunt around the corner to have a little talk, understood? And don't try me, I'm not one to mess with" he whisper yells, bringing the attention of some bystanders who watch closely as he made his little threat speach.

After thinking for a while I finally agreed to go with him, remembering the pocket knife and mase I carried in my purse in case he tries something.

"Okay, I will have this 'talk' with you as long as you don't call me out of my name again. I hate disrespectful men" I say beggining to walk with him to the restraunt.

Dammit , why did I go in that store!

Chris POV

"Can you make this quick, Mike? You know I'm trying to lay low for now. We need to get this over with as quickly as possible" I say following closely behind him.

"Man how long have I known you? At least 5 years so you need to chill, bruh. I got you, just keep your mouth shut and follow me" he says lowering his voice as we neared the backyard of the house.

I met Mike back in middle school and we've been pretty good friends ever since.

This plan he has going on right now is still kinda vague to me but I trust and respect him enough to just follow along. In the end, we both benifit.

Mike quickly crouched to the ground and put a finger to his lips, signaling me to be quiet. We had only gone through this plan once so the details are a little shaky to me but I think I can follow through.

Apparently, Jerome has been looking for me and is still determined that I stole from him. Luckily, Mike knows who the real theif is which is why we are in this situation right now.

The house of the thief is very lightly guarded which means we have partial easy acess to the stolen items. Mike also knows exactly where the stuff is, which means we need to move quicky and get the hell out of here before I end up in some even deeper shit.

He was here earlier today and rewired all the cameras around the house for the exact time we would arive, just in case security was on guard. They would never see us coming.

I follwed swiftly behind Mike, slipping into the back door of the house which he had purposely left unlocked.

"Its in the closet down the hall, follow me and watch my back. I don't think anyone's here, and if they are I'm positive they're upstairs" he says in a low voice. Nodding my head and pulling the pistol from my back pocket I followed him down the hall.

Soon we made it to the closet, which was more like a room. I stood by the door watching cautiosly and listening to the sound of any footsteps. Mike fumbles around in the room, making a little bit too much noise for my comfort.

"Aye, I think I heard footsteps! Hurry up man! I thought you knew where the stuff was!" I say anxiously wanting to make it out of here as soom as possible.

"I got it!" he says whispering. I turn around to see the large black duffel bag into view. I let him pass me as we headed out the closet to make our way to the door.

I heard a few more footsteps once again, but this time they were coming down the stairs. Mike must have heard them too because he darted for the door. I wasn't far behind him when I felt someone grab my arms, pushing me harshly against the wall.

"You really thought you were gonna get away with stealing from Rico house?" I heard a voice say as I felt the barrel of a gun being pressed to my temple.

Shit!

"Micheal, what the fuck you doing with this youngin'?" The man said as another man appeared behind Mike, pressing a gun to his temple as well.

"And to think I actually liked you Mike. People always gotta stab you in the back and do some foul shit. Sorry man, money is priority" the man holding me at gunpoint said.

"Say your prayers." was the last thing I heard along with the loud ringing sound of a gunshot right before I hit the ground.

The room around me seemed to fade away as i drifted off into another state. Darkness filled my vision as I struggled to keep my consciousness that was quickly fading away. Who knew so much could happen in less than 5 seconds?

And through all this chaos I could only think about one thing.

Adri......
