Eli and two of his close friends walked the streets of Los Angeles, taking in the city.
Eli got bored about twenty minutes ago but didn't bother saying anything since he knew his friends weren't going to let him go home.
As Eli's eyes wandered around, they fell on a beautiful girl with brown skin holding a camera. He slowed down his pace as he got closer to her.
The gorgeous girl frowned at the camera, took a step forward, but squealed as she tripped over her own feet. Eli's eyes bulged as he moved quickly towards her and caught her mid-fall, then and only then did he notice her huge belly.
He stared down at her as he held onto her until she regained her balance.
"Whoa, sweet baby Jesus," she gasps, holding her stomach. She looks up and freezes as she takes in the tall, handsome male that helped her.
Eli tilts his head at her comment.
"Thank you, that would've been embarrassing as hell," she says, looking up into his eyes. Eli nods, taking a step away from her. "Bye"
'I need to figure out where I'm going to keep my weapons' she thought to herself as she waves, walking away fast.
Eli watches her as she speed-walks down the street, tripping over nothing in particular. She catches herself every time though.
'She's beautiful' he thought to himself turning around catching up with his friends
"Eli, Ti ho visto con lei. Chi è la ragazza?"
(Eli, I saw you with her. Who is the girl?)Elijah shrugged glaring at him, he answered "I don't care what you have seen Angelo"
"Chi è la ragazza?" Angelo asked again
(Who's the girl?)"I don't know, I just caught her before she fell"
Angelo nods in response.

"How long does it take for the sun to go down?" Lauren groaned.
She sat impatiently in the midst of a garden blooming with roses. Throughout the day, her thoughts lingered on the charming man who had rescued her from a fall.
With determination, Lauren pushed herself up from her seated position on the ground. After a few failed attempts, she finally rose to her feet.
At that moment, the sun began its gradual descent. Retrieving her camera, she captured several snapshots until the sun vanished from the sky, making way for the moon.
"Alright, let's grab a bite to eat and then head home. Sound like a plan, baby?" She hummed, flashing a smile, her hand gently caressing her belly.
"Aye, shawty!" a voice called out from behind her. Lauren chose to ignore it, assuming no one would take an interest in her, especially since she was pregnant.
"Ma, I know you can hear me!" the voice persisted.
A smile crept onto Lauren's face as she caught sight of the sign for her favorite Italian restaurant. As she made her way into the parking lot, she was suddenly pulled back by a forceful grip.
Falling to the ground, she held herself protectively. Confusion clouded her expression as she attempted to rise, only to freeze upon seeing a gun aimed directly at her face.
'Imagine being an assassin and got lacking' her first thought caused her to snored holding her head
"I called your ass twice," the gunmen hiss. "I should shoot your dumbass since you can't hear when folks are talking to you!"
