Chapter Six:
Disclaimer: I own nothing except the extra plot and the OC
Roland's Pov
What? What the fuck was that?! I open my car door and go down to the hide out and there is Shaundi just sitting there like nothing happened. She has beautiful eyes and her dreads follow her fun loving life style, her tank top stops at her belly button and I kind of like it. I shake my head to clear the thoughts and march up to her.
"Shaundi, what the fuck was that?" I demand. She looks up and me and covers her mouth
"Boss! Your arm!" she says staring at the blood running down my shoulder
"Shaundi, I don't care about that! I wanna know what just happened!" She looks behind me and I follow her gaze to find a dozen saints watching intently. Damn, never any privacy. I motion for her to follow me and she gets up and walks slowly behind me up the stairs to my room. Once were inside I shut and lock the door.
"What happened?" I ask again. She gets up and goes to my bathroom opening drawers and cabinets. What is up with this girl? I almost find myself smirking but I push the thought away, I just want to get to the bottom of this. She comes back into the room and leads me to my bed. I sit down and look up at her. She starts cleaning up my arm.
"Luckily it's just a graze" she states. I'm tired of games. I shove her away from me. She looks at me with shock and watery eyes like she's going to cry. Fuck! I pull her down to sit next to me.
"Fuck, Shaundi, I'm sorry" I say, She manages a weak smile.
"I guess I just got excited." she says trying to shrug it off but the faint blush of her cheeks gives her away. I lean in and kiss her, she looks at me, and my only answer is a smirk as I lay down and pull her down on top of me. She falls asleep listening to my heartbeat, and I am lulled to sleep by her steady breathing.
Shaundi Pov
I open my eyes to come face to face with the boss. I roll off of him and brace myself on my elbows and look at him. He looks so peaceful when he is sleeping. His dark skin and pull lips draw me in but I stop myself. My eyes travel down his body, his shirt is now off and his muscles shine in the light that's coming from the window. I look at his abs with "3RD STREET SAINTS" tattooed across it. He shifts in his sleep, and frowns. I wonder what he is dreaming about. I get out of his bed and leave the room quietly so I don't wake him up. I run my figures through my hair as I walk down the steps. I see Ashlynn making toast and I go to the fridge and grab out some milk.
"hey" she says still watching the toaster
"Hey, wanna do something today?" I ask her, kind of wanting a girls day out, but also wanting to ask her about her brother.
"sure" she says buttering her toast and sitting down across from me. She eats it while I drink some coffee. When we finish we head to the elevator and get in my car.
"Where to?" I ask, not really sure what she is in to.
"The beach?" she asks and I nod turning the car to go to the beach.
"If you had to describe your brother in one word what would it be?" I ask and she pauses tilting her head at me then she grins.
"I'd say loyal. You likeee him don't you?" she says drawing the word out. I feel the blush rising to my cheeks.
"It's okay, I approve" she says smiling at me.
"What should I do?" I asked not sure how to tell him that I have feelings for him.
"I know him pretty well and I'd bet he already knows" I smile at this thought. We pull up and park at the beach. We get out and walk down to the sunniest spot and sit down. We start chatting about Roland and Carlos. Soon the conversation turns to the past and it looks like neither of ours are good. We get bored soon enough, so I pull out the Loa Dust I brought with me just in case. She looks at me and smiles agreeing to smoke with me again. I start it off and we pass the pipe back and fourth. Soon the colors swim and everything takes on a shiny coat. We lay back in the sand not minding that were getting sand all over us. A shadow overcomes us and we look up to see my ex boyfriend the veteran child, as he calls himself. He pulls us both up and the next thing I know its dark.
"Shaundi?" I hear Ashlynn saying my name. I can feel movement it sounds like were on a road. I hear Ashlynn moving around.
"Its.. Were in a trunk Shaundi.." She says I nod forgetting she cant see me.
"yeah I think so too" I say as the tires screech to a stop and were blinded by the light when the trunk opens.
My ex smiles down at us. He pulls us up and out of the trunk, but this time were sobering up and can fight back. We start struggling against him and he calls for his friends to help. Two sons of Samedi come out of the club and my mouth drops open. He runs with a gang now?! He shoves Ashlynn to another Samedi member and pulls me into the building with him. I look back and see the Samedi shoving Ashlynn into the back of a car and one of them get in with her. I try fighting against veteran child but he just shoves me down the stairs to the dance floor, and yanks me back up when he gets down to the bottom of the steps. He makes a call and hes pretty cocky about it. He asks me questions about the Saints and I ignore him. He gets a call and this time hes panicked about it. He yanks me up and puts a gun to my head and I panic. The door is kicked in and Roland is standing their holding two SMGs.
He doesn't hesitate to take out the sons of Samedi that are around us. He turns his attention back to us. "If you kill me you won't find your sister!" The Veteran Child squeaks out.
Roland shrugs and says "Johnny and Carlos are already on it." I breathe a sigh of relief knowing Ashlynn is getting help. "Give me my girl back you stupid fuck!" Roland tells him. My heart skips a beat. He called me his girl. I don't have time to think about this for very long. A sudden loud bang and a burst of bright light hits me as I fall to the ground. My ears are ringing and everything is spinning as I watch my ex boyfriend get a clip emptied into his body. Roland helps me up and leads me to his car. I notice it's not his usual hammerhead. He is silent the whole way back to the hide out, but I notice him looking me over for injuries as we drive.
Ashlynn Pov
I see Shaundi being taken into the club as I'm being shoved into the car. A son of Samedi gets in after me and I try to open the door on the far side but he slaps me hard across the face. I lift my hand to my cheek and feel the tears start to prick my eyes. I hold them back though. I won't give them the satisfaction. We drive to what looks like a warehouse and I'm roughly pulled out of the car and into the building. It is dimly lighted and it smells like rust. I'm led to a room that was probably once an office. I get shoved into a seat and they are quick to bind me.
No one knows I'm here, they didn't even know I went to the beach. I just hope Shaundi is okay.
"Where did the Loa Dust come from?!" A guy with black greasy hair yells into my face. I turn my head away from him. A friend of his with grayish skin punches me across the jaw so hard it forces my head back towards the first guy. He grabs my chin and I wince at the contact to my sore jaw. I hold back more tears, and try to retain some dignity.
"Where are the Saints labs!" the second guy screams at me. I close my eyes and try to block it all out but I gasp as I feel something sharp slide down my arm followed by a stinging pain. My eyes flash open and I whimper when I see my arm has been cut open.
"Where are the labs?!" He demands again. I close my eyes again and brace myself for more pain, because I can never betray the saints aside from Roland their my only real family. The pain never comes. I hear the sound of Johnny yelling as he fires his gun. I open my eyes to see him shooting up everything in his path. I see a guy drop next to me and I turn my head to see Carlos picking them off one by one. I feel my whole face light up at the sight of him. As he finishes the last guy he hurries to untie me and Johnny meets up with us after taking everyone else out.
Carlos takes his shirt off and wraps it around my arm and pulls me into a kiss. Our tongues begin a dance all their own and it continues until Johnny clears his throat and we break the kiss and let him lead the way out of the warehouse. I sit back against the leather of my loves Phoenix and close my eyes. I'm exhausted.
