A Gangsta Tale: Nick X Alex Enjoy, SK

Darkness, no light.

Gruff voices all around me. Where am I and how long have I have been sitting here?

"Boss, how are we going to prove we got her?"

"Should we chop off her finger and send it to those pain in the $$! handyman?"

The voices stop, then the whole room breaks out in laughter.

This is not good. Why did I have to go alone to Grandma Joels for Worick's stupid cigarettes?

I still have them, the whole box….

I guess these sicko's think it's funny to kidnap, tie-up, gag, and blindfold a helpless girl while she is out shopping for cheap cigarettes….

Hah, I don't even smoke…

A woman's voice breaks through the laughter.

"Take her whole arm. That should totally make the right impression."

"Alright, Boss."

A door slams shut, and my blood runs cold.

"Man, this girls got such a nice body, why don't we have a little fun with her first?"

"Yeah, you know, before she gets all messed-up?"

"That is out of the question! You know how the boss is about that kind of play."

So, there three of them left? I struggle against the ropes with all my might, maybe I can get lose.

"Now hold on, this should only take a minute babe."

I freeze and feel the tip of a blade being gently pushed down my neck all the way to my right shoulder.

I stop breathing, waiting for the pain, and the stock to rip through me. "No, please don't!" I cry, but the gag muffles my voice. "Someone, anyone help me!'

Crash! Thud, thud, thud!

Silence.

What just happened?

Someone cuts through my bonds and carefully takes off my blindfold. And I can't believe it.

I am staring right into the cold brown eyes of Nicolas Brown.

The smell of fresh blood makes me sick. What's left of thugs are scattered around the room. At least their end was quick.

"Nick…" is all I can say before he scoops me up and starts running for an open window.

Without thinking, I put my arms around his neck, close my eyes, and hold on for dear life.

Under a full moon, we fly faster than the wind across the wide roof tops of Ergastulum.

The soft yellow lights of the buildings dot the city like fireflies. It is so breathe taking.

I am glad I dared to take a peak, otherwise I would have never seen such an amazing view.

Nicolas doesn't seem to break a sweat as he carries me while running and jumping at full speed.

Up-close, he looks more scary and fiercer than normal. Almost animal like.

I should be worried…..

But, oh why do I always feel so safe and warm in these strong arms of his?

We arrive back at the handyman's home base in record time.

He does not put me down until we reach one of the couches.

I don't want to let go of him, but I do anyway.

He unties his long sword and places it on the table in front of us before sitting down next to me.

His steely gaze is enough to make me run for cover, but I don't flinch this time.

Before I can do anything, he grabs the packet of smokes stuffed between my breasts and lets out a sigh, as if to say: Really girl? You risked your life for this?

I sign: Nick, thank you for saving me. I did not mean to cause you trouble.

Silence.

Maybe I messed-up in the translation somewhere. Come on, don't make it hard for me Nick.

This time I hope he can read my lips:

"I did mean to…" But, before I can finish, he kisses me long and firmly on the mouth.

Without thinking, I slowly melt into him and kiss him back with just as much passion.

While his hands are in my hair, I slip off my coat and begin to unbutton his shirt.

I want more… But, all too soon he breaks away.

While flashing a softer version of his devilish grin, he signs:

I love you, Alex…..

Even though you can be trouble, dressed in high-heels!

….The End…
