Don't Play With Fire

Chapter Five

"Woo!" Ross cheered as we all climbed out of the van, Flower holding the door open with a smirk since we singlehandedly survived this shit because of her and her driving skills.. "Man that rush was unmatched, we were this close to getting our asses caught by that police officer."

"Don't doubt me next time Rossy," As soon as I climbed out, I jolted when I felt a hand smack my ass. I turned my head back and saw Flower grinning innocently and looking in the van like she didn't just... okay.

"Alright alright, settle down." Martin said once we walked into building, the boys mainly acting like monkeys, jumping all over the place. "Toss me the bags please." We all gave him our bags filled with jewelry and he nodded. "Wow.. great job guys, great job. I'm gonna get this counted and set up but for now.." he pulled out a gold necklace and raised it up. "Who wants this one-"

"I do!" I said loudly and they all looked back at me since I was known to not really shout out but it was a pure gold chain. "I uh yeah can I have it?"

He simply smiled and tossed it to me. "Okay, we've got some earrings in here.."

I held the slightly heavy chain and admired it happily. All I ever wanted was a gold chain as a teenager.. this was surreal.

"Here," I looked over as Cindy scooted towards me, her hand reaching for the chain. "Let me put it on you."

"Thank you." I handed it to her before turning around. She then pushed my hair to the side, clipping on the necklace. "I've never seen you that excited." She teased. "What, you haven't stolen any chains?"

"Believe it on not, no." I looked down at the necklace as it laid on my chest. "The people I targeted never seemed to wear necklaces, only watches. That's why I've pawned like ten Rolex's over the years." She hummed. "I'd never pawn a gold chain."

"That faithful huh?" She patted my shoulders once she was done and I pulled back with a smile, nodding. "Good to know." She added and looked up when her name was called.

Martin was standing at the stairs, his eyebrows raised. "Can you come here for a moment? I wanna talk about some stuff."

Cindy sighed from next to me before raising up and smiling, then following him up the stairs. I watched them disappear into his office before a hand waved in my face. "Yo, you coming tonight?" I looked up at Carter who looked down at me as he tossed up a tennis ball repeatedly.

"Coming where?" I questioned.

"To Ground Zero." My hands and eyebrows raised when Flower made herself comfortable in my lap. "It's a nightclub, code only so it's not super crowned with pretentious hard asses." I looked up at Carter with a cocked eyebrow but he raised his hands with a shrugged before backing away. "You should come. Gotta see if you're as smooth as you say."

I chuckled under my breath before letting my left hand drop to my side, the right lightly resting on her waist. "I may be able to show you a thing or two." She leaned back against me and looked up with a smirk, eyebrows raised. "Maybe."

"Maybe?" Her tongue poked out and dragged across her top lip, then she nodded. "Okay, we'll see." I watched as she pushed herself up, her hands using my knees as leverage but she wasn't slick. I knew what she was doing. And I followed her figure until she rounded the corner too.

"Shit." I heard, the spot next to me sinking slightly when Stef say down. "You opening a can of a whole lot of crazy right there."

"Nah," I shook my head and leaned back, lifting my left leg and resting it on my knee. "Just flirting, nothing serious."
