Lucky Rose

Chapter 10

Seven's POV

I pulled up to Rose's house and let myself in. She was still in the kitchen. It looked like she was getting dinner started. It was Wednesday; so she had late classes. She always started her dinner early on Wednesday.

"Hey," I said to her.

She turned around and smiled. "Hey, Nick. What's going on?"

"I need you by my side. I need to know if you'll ride with me and never cross me up."

I was rambling but I was about to risk it all for her. If she agrees to be my girl, then shits gonna hit the fan, and her life will be in danger.

"Nick, what's going on?" she asked again.

"Look, I want you. I wanna be with you. Things with Ashton was not what I thought it would be. She lied to me. She wasn't pregnant. It was fake. She set me up. A lot of my product was stolen. Almost 350 thousand worth of drugs. I'm about to go to war. I need a safe place to go."

"I got you. I swear," she said.

I walked to her. I wrapped my arms around her waist. I picked her up and sat her down on the counter.

"I love you girl, and I promise I'ma gonna protect you with my life. A lotta muthafuckas are gonna come at you because of me, but I'll train you to shoot. If anybody threatens you or me, you shoot on site. No questions asked"

She nodded her head in agreement. I kissed her. She tasted so sweet.

"Shits about to get real now. I hope you're ready. I don't trust anybody else; so tonight after your class, I'ma take you down to the trap and train you on everything."

"Okay cool," she said. "I got four hours until class. I got a pot roast and vegetables in the slow cooker. I'm finna take a nap. By the time I wake up, dinner will be ready."

"I'm finna come lay with you."

I know I got Ashton in my trunk and I don't care. She was gonna be used for target practice tonight. That's the price you pay when you double cross me.

I followed Rose to her room. I watched as she got undressed and then laid down. I know she's tryna sleep, but I wanna lay inside of her so bad.

"Stop staring, Nick," she laughed.

"Damn, baby," I pouted. "I can't stare at you?"

"No," she smiled. "You better come lay down. I'm finna go to sleep on you."

I wasn't even mad. I undressed down to my boxers and got in bed with her. I held her by her waist and pulled her closer to me.

"I love you too, Nick," she said. About ten minutes later, I heard her snoring.

Rose's POV

"Aye, Ma." I felt Dominic shaking me awake. "You gone be late for class. Get up."

Ugh! I so didn't wanna get up for class. I got up and went and took a shower. I put on some white skinny jeans and a red Polo shirt. I wore my the leopard Red Bottoms that Dominic got for me.

"Damn, baby," Nick said, "you look good."

I was still getting used to the fact that the guy that I had the biggest crush on when I was 12 years old is now my boyfriend. I blushed and held my head down. OOPS! Why did I do that?!

"I saw that," he laughed. "You lucky I don't feel like getting outta this bed."

Oh thank God! His spankings hurt so bad! "I gotta go," I told him. "I'll be home around 8:30."

"Alright," he said. "I'll be at the trap. I gotta handle something down there before we go out there. When you get home, I want you to changed into all black."

I rolled my eyes. I have absolutely nothing black! That color was so dead to me! I have to live my life in color.

"I don't own anything black, but my underwear," I told him.

"That's aight. I'll have something here for you by the time you get outta class."

I grabbed my keys and my phone, and I headed to class. On my way to class, I kept thinking about what the hell I was getting myself into. I mean Dominic was a high profile drug lord. I'm studying to be a criminal lawyer. How the fuck is that gonna work out?

Then I thought about him and Ashton. How could she pull some shit like that? And even worse, he's with me now and I can't give him a baby. Then it made me wonder. If he wanted children, would he go out and make them with somebody else?

My mind was all over the place and now I'm sitting in class so unfocused. Right now I'm sitting in my calculus class. I was catching on at all. Good thing I had Dominic at home because he was a math genius. He was a genius anyways. He just graduated with a degree in Chemistry. That was one subject I couldn't handle....anything dealing with science.

After my math lab which ended at 7:50, I drove home. I didn't see Dominic's car so I figured he was at the trap. I knew he would be here soon. I walked into my room and on the bed was a bag from Gucci. I pulled out the clothes and it was some tight black leggings with a black V-neck crop top and a black jacket. There was also a bag from Converse with a pair of all black low top converse.

By the time I was showered and dressed, Dominic was coming through the door. "Hey, love, you ready to go?"

"Yeah," I said and followed him out the door.

Once we were in the car, Dominic started coaching me on what was about to happen.

"We're having target practice tonight." He said to me. "How do you feel about a human target?"

"Whoa! What?" I pretended as if I was scared.

"If you don't wanna do this, tell me now," he said focusing on the road.

"Dominic, I've never even held a gun." I lied. "And now you want me to practice shooting a real person."

"I know it's hard for you, but I need you to ride with me on this."

I don't know what compelled me to agree, but I said, "Okay. Whatever you need from me." Then I started thinking, "Who's the target?"

"Ashton."
