Married to the Bad Boy

30

"Where are we going?" I asked as Sterling hopped out of the Uber.

It was an entire mission to escape the party, making me sweat and get all hot from all the hiding from the guests and my parents. Why didn't they make deodorants for these escape missions for girls? I was pretty sure I smelled like a sand pit from the amount of anxiousness I had to go through.

I thought that we were bound to get caught, especially when we had to wait outside for ten minutes waiting for the Uber to show up.

There was a high possibility of guests coming in and out. All we needed was one person to see us for the entire plan to get ruined.

"You know, you're taking the blame for this." I said as I followed Sterling as fast as I could in the heels. "If we get caught my dad may just skin me alive."

We had somehow ended up back in the city, where it was much more lively then one would think for a weeknight.

There were people dressed up walking on the footpath, some sitting puking their gut out and others leaving their dinner reservations rushing onto the next place.

I followed Sterling as he turned off the main streets onto a smaller side street, it was almost like an alleyway but it was littered with closed shops.

"We're going to get mugged." I said as I tried to fasten my strides to keep up with him. The street was slightly angled upwards making it hard for my heels to get a grip on the cobblestone like ground.

Sterling turned again, to an even smaller street with even less lighting and I just knew...that this was maybe where I was going to die.

At the end of the street were a group of guys, around there were empty bottles as they smoked something that did not smell like cigarettes.

"Relax." Sterling said as he looked towards me, almost sensing that maybe I was going to run the other way.

"I am." I lied.

"Sure." He said as he turned again, thankfully, into another small alley way, but there was not even a single light here.

"Do we have to come this way?" I asked, looking behind to see if the guys were following us.

"Yes, because the alarm will go off if we enter from the front and I don't have the alarm key, we'll go through the back and turn it off."

Sterling paused in front of a old blue door, a badly painted door that had chunks peeling off. He reached into his pockets, grabbing his keys as he opened the door, "As long as we don't touch anything, the alarm won't go off," he said as he stepped inside.

"Are we breaking in?" I asked as I followed his guide, maybe not because he had a key. I took a big step off the rough cement into the building, maybe I should have taken my heels off but I managed.

I was greeted by total darkness as Sterling closed the door behind me and I heard the sound of a lock clicking into place.

"Are you going to kill me here?" I asked. I mean it would be the perfect murder.

I go missing from a party, and killed in an alleyway and then dumped outside, they might never even find me because they would't have known I left the part.

I squealed as I felt something on me.

"Relax." Sterling said and I realised that the snake around my waist wasn't a snake after all, it was Sterling pushing me in a direction, "Walk forward."

"Are there no lights? Can we turn on the lights?" I asked, just as there was a bright light from behind me.

"Really?" I asked as Sterling's arm left my side and he started walking. "You're using your iPhone torch light?"
