Learning to do something and then applying it, are two different things. It may seem simple at first but it is usually more complex than you think. On the ride over to the Lodge Warehouse Lorenzo agreed to drive so that I can explain to Adrianna the basics on using a gun. She nodded in confidence after each step and in the end claimed she was fully capable of defending herself, but I begged to differ. I still couldn't believe that I had allowed Adrianna to come along and was mentally smacking myself for it.This could either go really bad or good, and I'm not ready to find out.
Nearing our location, we all parked a mile away to prevent anyone knowing about our whereabouts. So far it was quiet and no signs of movement were found. The only sound that went on for miles was the faint breeze. Half the men split up, in order to to get the whole perimeter surrounded.
As were walking, Lorenzo pulls out a blunt from his pocket and a lighter seconds later.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are almost to our destination thank you for riding with us and if anyone would like a last minute hit don't be shy to ask." This is Lorenzo's traditional hit before each mission. He does it every time without failure.
Once the blunt is placed between his lips, Lorenzo lights it and then takes a long hit. Seconds after he opens his mouth for air, exhales, and then offers if anyone wants some. Instantly the smell hits me and brings me to take an even larger whiff. Invading my nostrils and into my lungs, the all too familiar musky scent brings me to a quick euphoric state. Oh, how I miss the taste.
Before I can allow myself to think about it any longer I turn away and pull out my gun to ensure its ready to go, a distraction. Some of the men go at it while we continue to walk over, until eventually it gets around to Adrianna and everyone stops. Straight away, Adrianna shakes her head and pushes the blunt away from her. "No thanks," she says while scrunching her face at the strong scent. I could imagine, that for her everything surrounding her, now smells vile and brings her to disgust. At first the smell isn't pleasurable.
"Come on," Lorenzo starts. He stops in front of her and traps her between the blunt and himself. "When are you going to get this opportunity again, just one hit won't hurt you. Come on, have a little bit of fun."
Glancing over at Adrianna, I find that she is continuing to remain in earnest and shakes her head no.
Lorenzo throws his head back and then swings his right arm around her. Adrianna flinches at his gesture but refrains from pushing him away.
Loudly whispering, Lorenzo inches closer to Adrianna and says, "Look, I'm not trying to peer pressure you, but your a little uptight right now and thats killing my vibe. So do me a favor and take a quick puff. It's not like anyone is going to know, that's your concern right?" Focusing on the blunt, Adrianna seems to be weighing her options. She looks back and forth between the object in Lorenzo's hand and at him. Even though seeing Adrianna take a hit would be entertaining, I kind of hope she won't. Yes, I have said on multiple occasions that she needed to let loose and open up, but smoking isn't for her. That's a whole new world that her pureness wouldn't be ready for. Seeing her become lost and clouded under all that smoke crosses my mind and disappears quicker than the thought came. She is someone I hope to never see go down that path. The path that I followed, knowingly.
After not speaking for some time I aggressively say, "Lorenzo that's enough, she doesn't want it then she doesn't want it." Shrugging his shoulders Lorenzo loosens his grip on Adrianna and is about to take another hit, until a hand reaches out and snatches the blunt away. Before anyone can say anything Adrianna takes a small puff. She holds it in for a few seconds while stepping closer to Lorenzo and then blows all the smoke directly into his face. As the grey cloud begins to fade away and dissipate into the clear air above, nobody says a word. I too have been left in surprise. Adrianna holds the blunt between two fingers and stares at Lorenzo with pride. Her eyes bore into his dazed ones and give her a dominating persona.
