Protector.

14.

Few days later.

Wynter.

"Stop doing that," I mumbled as Marlo was trying to tickle my stomach. I couldn't stand it when someone did that. I pushed his hand away and pulled him onto me. He stared down at me while admiring my face, "you so fuckin' gorgeous." My small smile widened, "am I?"

He nodded slowly then placed a kiss onto my lips.

I groaned as he was starting to remove himself from the bed completely. "Don't leave me," I whined to him. He obeyed and climbed back onto me, "I'll never leave you." I giggled and kissed his forehead, "you promise?" Then he nodded his head while kissing my lips deeply, "I promise," he mumbled into them.

A loud noise suddenly came about from downstairs as if a door was forced open. Marlo quickly jumped off of me and raced to his closet trying to find one of his guns I believe. "Stay there," he whispered. I covered my bare body tightly in the expensive sheets. He finally discovered his gun and began making his way out of the door. I listened closely a bit frightened. "Get'cho bitch ass on the ground!" An unfamiliar voice shouted.

I then exited the bed with the sheet wrapped around me tightly and made my way out the room.

There were three men standing over Marlo with guns pointed at him. He was on his knees with his hands up. I covered my mouth in disbelief to keep myself from crying out loud. "Bitch I see you by dat pillar!" A voice shouted at me. Tears raced down my cheeks from fear. "Run Wynter," Marlo directed then I heard the sound of someone hitting something. Marlo groaned out in pain. I took that as an opportunity to run back to the bedroom. "C'mere bitch!" Another voice shouted then I heard footsteps chasing after me.

My heart was racing through my chest and wouldn't stop. I grabbed my phone trying to dial 911 but my nerves were so bad. There was a beating which came from the otherside of the door. "Little bitch little bitch let me in," the voice said causing shivers down my spine. The line was busy so I hung up and redialed. I pushed the ottoman infront of the door, it was quite heavy honestly and hard to move. "Or I'll huff and I'll puff, and blow yo pretty little brains out."

"Go away!" I shouted at the door.

The line was still busy once again. I decided to call Kentrell, I hadn't talked to him in a few days but he could come and help me I just knew he would. But his phone had automatically went to voicemail. "Trell please pick up," I begged then jumped as the beating on the door started once again. "GO AWAY!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

Soon as the phone started ringing the door busted open and I screamed again as the man grabbed me. He snatched my phone and threw it into the wall. "You wan' play?" He questioned pulling me towards him. He threw me over his shoulder and took me out of the room. I was screaming, kicking and trying to hard for him to drop me or put me down. Eventually he made it down the steps and threw me onto the floor. My head had hit the hard expensive tile, I could feel blood beginning to gush from the wound.

"Now where the fucking safe?!" The man who I assumed was the leader asked Marlo.

"I don't have a fucking safe!" Marlo hollered at him then the butt of the gun met his mouth. Marlo immediately spit out blood from his busted gums onto the man.

I laid there trying to pull myself from off the floor but I just couldn't. My vision was becoming blurred but I could see the red of the blood coating the floor. I whined in pain feeling more light headed by the seconds which passed. "Tell me where the safe at or this bitch gone feel this bullet in her skull," the voice demanded then I felt something cold meet the back of my head.

"No please don't touch her," Marlo begged.

"Where IS THE FUCKING SAFE?!"

"Upstairs in the closet behind the shoe boxes... The combination is 07-63-749"
