Chapter 17

Charm's POV

I grabbed my backpack and went downstairs to meet Gigi watching TV in the living room.

"Where you going smelling so good and looking all cute?" He rose a brow.

"Jeffrey's house." I turned to him with a little smile.

"Who's Jeffrey?" He scratched his head.

The door bell rang and I quickly opened the door."He's here."

"Aye! Don't be opening doors like that. These human trafficking niggas been getting bold nowadays." Gigi quickly got up.

"Who are you?" Gigi stared Jeffrey up and down.

Jeffrey looked very different. His wild hair was now cut low and his glasses were gone.

"The-the guy from the library..I-I told you Charm was at Ruben's house." Jeffrey stuttered.

Gigi gave him another look."Bring ha back by 6." He leaned forward and told Jeffrey something,that made his eyes widen.

Jeffrey gulped and nodded his head."O-Okay.."

I furrowed my eyebrows and walked out the house,but I was pulled back by Gigi.

"She'll be out in a minute." He said before closing the door on a shaking Jeffrey.

"What is it G-" He held my throat and pulled me into a kiss,forcing me to go on my tippy toes.

"Remember your brass knuckles." He rubbed my butt and slid something in my pocket.

I smiled in his face and rubbed his arm around my neck."Bye Gigi."

I gave him a peck on the cheek and left the house.

"Giovanté is kinda scary." Jeffrey confessed.

"Yeah..but,he can be nice." I said in a small voice.

"I don't think so..anytime I see him,he's just-"

"Mad." We both said and laughed.

"Charm..what about your parents and stuff?" He asked.

"My parents...?" I rubbed my head. "I-I don't..remember.."

I started thinking a little harder. I have no memory of any male or female who took care of me in my earlier life.

"Like amnesia?" His brows furrowed in worry.

"Amnesia..?" I rubbed a spot on my head.

"Don't you remember anything?"

"I wanna.." Tears were on the verge of falling. My head was hurting. "I need to go home."

"Oh- sorry Charm..I'll get you home right away." I heard the keys jingle.

Giovanté's POV

The door bell rang,then there was a knock right after.

"I'm comin!" I was annoyed.

I opened the door and Charm attacked me with a hug.

I looked up and stared Jeffrey in his eyes."What did you do?"

"A-all I did was ask about her parents." He answered.

"Get to stepping." I pointed to his car and he scurried away.

I closed the door and put all my attention on Charm.

"Charmy.." I played in ha hair.

"Hmm?" She looked up with tears in ha eyes.

I scooped ha up, gaining a giggle and took ha to my room.

We both sat on my bed,facing each other.

"What's wrong?"

"I..I don't remember my parents.." She confessed in shame.

I sighed." I don't remember mine either..ain't no shame in that."

She looked up at me,but looked down once again."But Gigi..it gives me a headache in a spot."

"A spot? Let me see."

She pointed and I saw a purple like bruise in ha scalp.

"Who did this?" I mumbled to myself.

"What if them niggas who we took her from..kidnapped ha from ha parents?" Orion gave an idea.

"That could be it." Danny nodded his head,looking at me for an answer.

"We going to raid they house and get some fucking answers tonight." I slammed my hand onto the table.

"I'm game." Zeke shrugged.

"Ight,let's load up then." Kolie smirked.

"This is gonna be fun." Orion smiled,nudging Danny.
