*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
I turned to look at Zion who sighed and stood up to go answer the door. Clarence walked in first the followed by Tahj.
"he's here" Tahj said
Last night Dylan called Tahj letting him know that he would be picking us up today to take us to a warehouse type place. That's where Emerson, Lucas and I will be tomorrow while the others are at the pentagon. He still hasn't said what exactly Tahj would be doing which has him anxious and worried.
"I can't believe we're dead ass doing this shit" Clarence said
"for some reason I still think this is all a dream"
"a dream? more like a nightmare"
I zipped up my suitcase that was laying down on the bed and put it on the ground. I looked around one more time then began to head out of the room, the others following. We met up down at the lobby with Emerson, Damien and Lucas.
We all had the same look on our face—well besides Lucas who didn't know what the hell was going on. I'm still confused as to why he's here with us. Couldn't he have been left with his mother or something.
"this is it...selling our soul to the devil" Emerson said
"I still think we shoulda killed him when we had the chance" Damien whispered
I kissed my teeth and rolled my eyes knowing damn well he know's he's not about that life.
"come on let's go" Tahj said before beginning to head outside the hotel
Zion and Emerson went to the front desk to give in the keys real quick before we all followed behind Tahj. There was a Chevrolet Suburban parked right outside the hotel. This nigga got the car that's used in every crime/spy movie with the fucking tinted windows and shit.
He didn't even have to honk or step out for us to know that it was his car. We walked towards it and the trunk opened automatically. Damien stood there and began to organize our bags and stuff in it while we went to go sit inside.
Dylan was sitting in the drivers seat smiling as we got in. fucking creep.
"hope you all slept well last night" He said
We all ignored him and took our seats. Zion, Lucas and I sat in the very back while Emerson, Clarence and Tahj sat in the middle leaving Damien to have to sit in the front with Dylan.
"I never got the chance to ask Tahj, how was meeting your father?" He asked while beginning to drive
"I don't know...he ever showed. his son was sick so he says"
The ride to our destination was pretty long and quiet. at one point I didn't even think we were in Virginia anymore. We were in the car for about an hour and a half, probably even 2 until we arrived in front of an old building.
"you're insane if you think I'm sleeping here, even for one night" I said once he stopped the car
"haven't we already established that I am though?"
"the sun doesn't even shine here, and it was up three minutes ago"
Damien sighed and got out the car making his way over to the back. Soon everyone followed realizing there was no winning when it comes to Dylan.
"Tahj you can stay inside, you're coming with me" Dylan said once Tahj began to get out of the car
"what? for what?"
"we have some errands to run together, plus I said you'd have a different role to play throughout all of this. you're finally gonna find out what it is"
"nigga he's not going anywhere with you alone" Clarence spoke up
"I don't recall me asking—especially for your permission. I'm pretty sure you've heard about me, try and stop me if you want"
Everyone was pretty much quiet. It sucks that he thinks he can get away with anything, pretty much knows he can and it's true. we're all scared because he thinks five steps ahead. it's like he's already calculated every possible outcome in his head.
"...I didn't think so. for the rest of you I set up some beds, there's also food. do not leave under any circumstances. Emerson the whole computer system and surveillance is setup. I recommend you get familiar with it before tomorrow. Zion, I need to talk to you privately"
I turned to look at Dylan then Zion who was looking at me and shrugged. What was there to talk to him about?
I walked over to the back where Emerson, Damien and Lucas were to get my stuff. I couldn't help but to look at Dylan and Zion trying to figure out what they could possibly be talking about.
Emerson got the last bag out then grabbed onto Lucas' hand before starting to walk over to the building.
"why'd you bring him here of all places?" I asked almost immediately
"there was no one to watch him, and my parents still don't know about him"
"what do you mean? Cierra can watch him"
"Cierra is not...sh-she's not—"
"she's not what?"
"she's not in full health to care for him. she's been in the hospital for a couple of weeks now. her dude left her and her mom isn't willing to take on Lucas so I had no other choice but to bring him. he'll be safe here with you though"
"what's wrong with her?"
"I don't really wanna talk about it, just hoping she get's better soon"
"not Cierra, her mother. that's her grandson"
"yeah well she thinks I'm just tryna get out of taking care of Lucas. I can't really tell her I'm off to do something illegal so my only other option was to bring him. I don't trust nannies and shit"
Damien closed the trunk then began to walk over to the building as well. I waited for Dylan to finish with Zion before following them as well.
"what'd he want?" I asked
"nothing worth listening to"
"what do you want with me?" I asked once Dylan got back in the car
"for starters to get to know you, maybe go on a date, see where that leads us. I know that won't happen though"
"I'm glad you know"
"but I do want to talk to you though, seriously"
"about?"
"your boyfriend"
"what about him?"
"when are you gonna leave him and get back with Emerson?"
"excuse me?"
"come on, you know you don't love the dude right? He for sure loves you but you don't put half as much into the relationship as he do. You just like the feeling you have when he's around. As I much as I wish we had a chance I know where your heart belongs and that's with Emmy. otherwise I woulda kidnapped you and kept you for myself, but for some odd reason I'm actually interested in you that I want you to be happy. which isn't gonna be with me and certainly not Clarebear"
"my relationship is none of your business, and I do love Clarence so suck my dick"
"yeah keep telling yourself that, and I already have. on a more serious note though, Emerson ain't gonna find another person for himself. It's been a year since y'all broke up and the nigga hasn't seen anyone. hasn't had any pussy, no head, nigga hasn't even kissed anyone. the most he's done is go on one date which didn't even go so well. and before you ask yes I've been stalking him. point is he's been drowning himself in work to not think about you, and you over here with a nigga you don't really care for. might as well get back with the dude you actually do care for"
"since when did you become a relationship expert. shouldn't you be planning who you gonna kill next or how you're gonna ruin Adonis' life yet again?"
"nah, after tomorrow he's free from me. you'll all be free from me"
"hmm, sounds too good to be true"
"speaking of tomorrow. I'm gonna have to do something to you, that trust me I really don't want to happen to you, but I have no other choice. just remember that"
"if you're gonna kill me just tell me now, I don't have time for these silly ass games"
"why do you guys always think I'm here to kill you. name a time I actually killed someone"
"Casey, Johnathan, the doctors who preformed Adonis' surgery, the dude you used to fake your death, shall I continue?" I asked sarcastically
"exactly, yet never have I killed anyone of you. believe me Damien and his father would've been the first one's on my list. I'm glad my brother gained some brain cells and left that dude"
I reached over to the radio turning it on and putting it on blast. Doesn't matter how sexy the nigga is or how much he's growing on me, I'm tired of the bullshit. I just hope what he's saying about being out of our lives tomorrow is true because I'm ready. I'm ready for a Dylan free world.
