Scene from the book:
As soon as the door shut and I flung off my heels and threw them out the window. I untied the stack of cash and took exactly $5500 and slid it in my bra. I could just take all that money.. what was it $100,000. I shook my head. I'm better than that. I don't need anymore bad karma. Plus he worked for that, I'm just taking a small bit to pay of Miguel. If I ever get the chance to pay him back I'll do it, even though it's such a small amount of money compared to what he got. I gotta keep my morals out here, because once I loose those, I loose my sanity, and everything else I haven't already lost. I put everything back into place. I turned around to climb out the window, but I was greeted by a handsome, brown skin guy.. and he did not look very happy.
"Hey," I tried to sound calm, but he was staring right through me.
"take out what's in yo bra." that dude bird had walked in.
"Hey Roddy I see you found Sofia. I thought you guys would kick it."
Roddy looked at him, then me.
"take out what's in yo bra," he got really aggressive this time. I took out the money as tossed it on the bed next to us.
Bird started loading his gun.
"Damn Sofia, I really wish you hadn't done that. Such a shame, so much potential."
Oh my god I'm gonna die. Tears started to form in my eyes.
"Hold on Bird, I think I can handle her"
Roddy and Bird exchanged looks, then Bird walked out closing the door behind him.
Sinner 2. (The Sequel)
"Aight, baby." He reluctantly grumbled, looking down into my eyes.
"Whatever you want, I'a do it." Was all he said and I raised my eyes in shock.
"You want me to leave this shit alone, you want me to leave this game? I'a do it." He looked down into my eyes seriously.
"You hear me?"
"It's done, baby. It's over."
"What?"
"Really?" I asked in disbelief, considering he was so content last night and this morning about his initial decision.
"Yes, G."
"You want me to stop? Then it's over." He said, licking his lips and I couldn't help to smile small, feeling 100% better.
Apart of me believed him but a small part of me felt like he was just trying to make things better for the moment.
"Do you promise, Abir?" I spoke barely above a whisper now and he nodded, looking away from me.
"Yeah, ma."
"Whatever you want."
Then it's settled.
