Back In The Game

Chapter 9

LaShawn's POV

        I don't know what came over me, but I had to. I had to kiss her. I smoothly lead her to the closest bedroom, not once breaking our kiss. I gently push her to the bed and get in next to her. We kiss and kiss, and I can't seem to get enough of it.

       After a couple more minutes of that, we both lay there out of breath. Neither one of us say a thing, instead I pull her closer to me and we both fall asleep.

        I wake up to a loud banging on the door. I look down at Marie coming out of her sleep too.

"Stay here, I'll get it," I say to her and climb out of the bed. I walk to the door and look through the peephole.

"Shit," I say to myself. Its Steven. I slightly open the door, only wide enough to stick my head out.

"Why don't you let me in, we're all friends here," Steven says, sarcastically. I roll my eyes and ignore his request.

"What do you want," I ask. I look around him. He seems to be alone but I know he's not. I know better than to think so.

"I said let me in cuz," He said and shoved me out of the doorway and stepping inside. That's when two more people emerged from around the corner, following him in.

"Okay, now that you are in, what do you want?" I ask. I hope Marie stays in the room.

"Who are you here with Shawn?" he asks me, eyeing Maries shoes by the door.

"A friend. Why did you come here?" Instead of answering my question he snaps his fingers and his two goons start walking around the suite.

"Hey! What do you want," Im yelling now.

"You know what I want, and I'm here to make sure you deliver," Thats when they both drug Marie out of the room.

"Get your hands off her. Now," I said, stepping towards them.

"We will let her go but I need what I came here to get," said Steven. He was really enjoying himself.

"I have no idea what you are talking about," I say. Steven snaps his fingers again. They take Marie back into the room and I think I hear the door lock.

"You know that deal you made with the boys in Queens," he asked me.

"Yeah..."

"I want the same thing," he tells me.

"Well I'm not the one you need to be talking to. What are they doing to her?" I say raising my voice. I can hear them laughing and I can hear her telling them to fuck off.

"Do we have a deal Mr.Price," he asked.

"Yeah, I'll make it happen. What are they doing?!" Im about to lose it.

"I need it in 4 days." he says. Four days? I can't get all of that in four days!

"Okay, okay! Just let her go," I say and rush over to door of the room.

"Nick! Drey!" he calls the boys. I hear the door click before they open it. When they do, I see Marie laying on the floor with her pants off and her shirt unbuttoned. I rush over to her and bring her head to my chest.

"What did they do to you," I ask her. I can barely understand her through her tears. She just continues to speak through her sobs and I just feel guilt starting to build inside of me. Steven knows exactly how to get to me.

"Marie...I dont mean to keep bringing you into this." I whisper into her hair. I wipe away her tears and lift her unto the bed. I wrap my arms tightly around her, pressing her as close to me as possible.
