💗

Rubi and I arrived at this large mansion. It's roughly the same size as my father's mansion. There were a lot of cars here, and I was freaking out because how was I going to kill someone if there were so many people here? If I kill this person, a lot of people will know how I look. I was daydreaming until Rubi knocked me out of it because she was smoking weed in the car and it was all getting into my mouth and nose. I began fanning around the car.

I snatched the weed from Rubis' grip and tossed it out the window. "What the fuck are you doing smoking weed in here? Nobody wants to smell that shit."

Rubi was taken aback when I threw her weed away. "Why the fuck would you do that, bitch? Now I should punch you in your damn wind pipe. That was really helping me calm my nerves."

I gave her a sidelong glance. "Do you really want us to walk in there smelling like weed, hoe? Now, spray some perfume so we can get in there."

She let out a sigh. She took a bottle of perfume from the inside of her purse and sprayed it on both of us. Before getting out of the car, we checked ourselves in the mirror and straightened our make-up, clothes, and hair. We both got out and strolled up to the front door in a relaxed manner.

Rubi came to a halt and began backing up. "Bitch, I'm sorry, but I can't go in there. I'm returning back to the car."

I swiftly grabbed her arm and began speaking to her in hushed tones. "Come on. We're already here, and there's no turning back. I've got you covered. Just make sure you're next to me. Simply follow me."

Rubi took a few long breaths and exhaled slowly. We took our time walking to the door, and I knocked twice. After a few seconds, the man Manny had shown me opened the door. He was a very tall man with a lot of muscle mass. I'm not going to lie but this man is sexy as hell. He also smelled fantastic. He seemed perplexed when he looked at us.

Rubi bit her lips as she looked at him sexually. "You're the sexiest man I've ever seen. Do you have a girlfriend?"

I gave Rubi a elbow on the shoulder and smiled. The man began to laugh, but he still looked at us with a puzzled expression.

He licked his lips as he looked at us up and down. "I don't recall inviting you fine ass ladies to my party, but you're welcome to come in."

We gave him a friendly grin and entered. We took a glance around and noticed that there were quite a few individuals around. Some people were dancing, while others were drinking and dancing simultaneously. When I looked at Rubi, she was going to dash off to buy some drinks when I grabbed her arms.

"Listen, you have to keep your eyes peeled for him. We can't afford to lose sight of him. Manny will kill both of us if we don't kill him today."

She had a worried expression on her face when she glanced at me. "How are we going to do this in the first place? Do you have a strategy, since I don't."

I began to think really hard till a plan came to mind. "Of course, I've devised a strategy. Just keep an eye out and don't attempt to become too tipsy.

To obtain some drinks, Rubi and I walked to the opposite side of the house. We bought our beverages and began looking for Jayceon, when I observed him conversing with a man. He then smiled as he turned to face me. He must have urged the man to hold on since he was walking directly towards me, which made my stomach hurt.

He asked for a drink, then grabbed the glass and sipped it while staring at me with his hazel eyes. "How come I've never seen you two lovely ladies before? How did you find out about my party?"

Rubi and I both looked nervous as we stared at each other. I tried to think of the best lie. "I've heard you're a pretty well-liked guy around here. Someone told me your parties are a lot of fun. I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about."

Rubi bit her lower lip as she stared at the man. "And I heard you were a fine piece of meat. I'd also heard you were single. Is that true?"

I smacked Rubi in the stomach with my elbow. We both put on a fake smile, and when Rubi said what she said, he softly chuckled.

He sipped his drink again and gently set it down. "What you've heard about me is true. Everyone in this house loves and respects me as if I were a king. See, I'm a very wealthy businessman, and every man in town aspires to be like me."

Rubi seemed perplexed as she looked at him. "Are you, however, single? That's what I'm curious about."

He began to laugh a little too loudly. "I am a single man. I'm thinking about looking for a woman to change that."

He looked at me as if he were peering into my soul. I tried to change the subject, but Rubi wouldn't let me.

Rubi wore a big grin on her face. "Well, if you need someone, please give me a call."

I began coughing so Rubi would stop talking. If she keeps doing this, she'll blow our cover. She always wants to talk to multiple men, as if she doesn't already have one. Hell, she's already got two of them. She occasionally needs to unwind with men.

Somebody called Jayceon's name before he could say anything. As soon as he turned his head, I took a pill from my purse and slipped it into his drink. Because he and the individual were still talking, the pill had time to dissolve. Rubi and I exchanged glances, then both gazed at his drink. Finally, the pill had finished dissolving.

When he drinks it, he will become dizzy, completely unaware of what is going on, and extremely weak. He and the guy stopped talking, and he smiled and sipped his drink as he returned his gaze to me and Rubi. We are now sitting and waiting for it to work.

He fixed his gaze on me. "Did I already tell you that you're a stunning woman? I adore how big and lovely your lips are. They appear to be very kissable.

I forced a smile on my face. "Yes, you told me right away when you opened the door, but thank you very much. You're a very attractive man. You have beautiful colored eyes."

Rubi rolled her eyes and pushed me aside. "How about my lips? My lips are also rather lovely. My lips aren't very large, but my booty is enormous and jiggly."

I rolled my eyes and smacked my face against the palm of my hand. "Rubi, I believe you drank too much. Don't you think so?"

She looked at me as if she didn't understand what I was saying. "Girl, I didn't even have anything to- aw, yeah, girl, I did drink a little too much tequila."

He laughed as he looked at Rubi. "I'm not even going to tell you a lie. Shorty is extremely amusing. She appeals to me. You two should come to my parties more often."

Jayceon looked at us with his eyes squinted before we could say anything. He began to move in slow motion, tripping over his own feet. That just means the pill is starting to work.

Jayceon blinked twice and held his head. "I can't feel my toes at all. What exactly is going on? Is it just me, or does the world seem to be spinning way too fucking fast? What am I doing?"

Rubi and I exchanged glances. I grabbed Jayceon and dashed upstairs. "Perhaps you drank far too much. Let us take you up to your room."

He was getting too heavy to carry up the stairs. I motioned for Rubi to assist me in carrying him upstairs. As we got upstairs, we started opening doors to see if we could find a bed to lay him on. We opened another door and found a bed. Rubi locked the door behind us as I carried him to the bed.

While I was laying him down, Rubi gave me a glance. "How are we going to proceed now?"

I started looking around the room for a safe or a hiding place where he could hide Manny's money. "Take a look around the room to see if you can find any cash."

Rubi started looking around the room. I started focusing on Jayceon while she was doing it. He snatched me from behind and piled me on top of him. "How about we have some sex?"

I gazed at him as if I were taken aback. "No. You're quite inebriated. Let's see if you can get some rest."

He tightened his grip on my arm. I gave him a puzzled expression. After taking the drug, how the fuck did he restore his strength? This is one tough dude.

He had his eyes dropped, like if he was high, as he looked at me. "I said I wanted some fucking sex."

I rushed up, grabbed a pillow, and began suffocating him. "I refused! Why don't you just die?"

I could hear him gasping for air. He grabbed my arm and almost threw me off balance, but I managed to stay upright. When I looked up, Rubi was still looking for the money.

I was having trouble breathing. "Fuck the money right now, Rubi. Please come and assist me. He regained his strength and he's attempting to pull me away from him."

Rubi ran over to me and leapt onto the bed. Both myself and her began choking him. He was squealing and attempting everything he could to get us off of him.

Rubi was attempting to suffocate him with all of her might. "Got damn, this guy is strong as hell. He must start his day with a plate of steroids."

We suffocated him for about 5 minutes more. I noticed his arms finally collapsing. I slowly lifted the pillow away from his face. I positioned the pillow on the side to give the impression that he was sleeping. Rubi and I went back to look for the cash, but we couldn't find it. We were surprised to hear footsteps.

Rubi began to feel anxious. "It appears that someone is approaching. We need to find the money as soon as possible."

When I looked inside this dresser, I discovered a large amount of cash and drugs. This is a poor choice for a hiding spot. At the very least, he could've hidden it somewhere no one would ever discover it. I gathered everything, but just as we were going to leave, someone entered the room. Rubi and I gazed at one other, unsure of what to do.

Rubi approached the man and gave him a kind pat on the back. "We just had a threesome, so he'll be sleeping for a while."

We ran downstairs after quickly passing the man. I rolled my eyes as I stared at Rubi. "Really? A threesome?"

Rubi sucked her teeth. "Did you come up with a better idea? I don't believe so."

With a gun in his hand, the man who had seen us upstairs dashed downstairs. "Someone stop them bitches. They killed Jayceon and took his shit."

People started shooting at us, which caused everyone to panic and rush to the door. We made it out and dashed to our car. We climbed into the car and drove away. While we were driving away, people were shooting at us. They ended up shooting out my back window, and my windshield is riddled with bullet holes. Manny is going to take my car to the repair stop immediately, I swear.

I instantly grabbed my phone and texted Manny to inform him that the task was completed. Rubi and I were both panting profusely. She leaned her head on the window while I glanced at her.

To console her, I patted her shoulder. "Are you all right? I know we had a lot on our plate back there."

She had a beaming smile on her face as she glanced at me. "To tell you the truth, Angel, that was a lot of fun. This is the most fun I've ever had in my life. It's as though we're in a movie. I'm experiencing a rush through my body that I've never experienced before. It makes feel excited."

I gazed at her like if she'd gone insane. "Are you serious? You think this nonsense is amusing? Are you in good mental health? We could have died back there, and you thought this shit was entertaining? We probably have a slew of people that want us dead right now. You have no idea that our lives are on the line. Manny will kill us without question if we make one mistake. As a child, I honestly believe mom dropped you on the head."

Rubi sucked her teeth and rolled her eyes. "Shit, we might as well enjoy it while we're here for who knows how long. He might never let us go in the first place."

I let out a sigh. "I promise you that I will get us out of this situation as soon as possible. You just need to have faith in me and a little patience."

We exchanged smiles and stared at each other. We took each other's hands in ours and held them tightly. I guarantee that we will get out of this mess as soon as possible. He will no longer hold us captive.

------------------------

It was around 8:00 p.m., and I was getting ready for a date with Trevante. To be honest, I'm both nervous and eager about the event. It's odd since I don't even know him and yet I have feelings for him. I'm really looking forward to getting to know each other. My dress and heels were already in my possession. All I needed to do was put on some make-up and style my hair.

💕

Putting on make-up and styling my hair took me only a few minutes. I opted to do my hair into a bob since I think it looks better with the clothing. I sprayed Prada Candy all over my outfit and neck and was good to go. I was about to walk out the room with my Christian Dior purse and phone when Rubi stormed in. She kept looking at me, and I knew she was going to ask a lot of questions.

Her arms were folded in front of her. "Where the hell are you going? You didn't tell me where you were heading out tonight?"

I rolled my eyes and walked past her. "Rubi I'm going on a date, okay? Are you happy now?"

She seemed shaken when she looked at me. "Girl, with whom? I thought you said you and Manny weren't a couple."

I grabbed the keys from the counter and was about to leave. "First and foremost, I'm not going on a date with Manny. I'll be on a date with someone else. I met him a few days ago, and he asked me out on a date. Trevante is his name, and he's a very attractive man."

She began to jump up and down. "Oh, can me & Spooky come with you? We could do a double date. That will be fantastic."

I burst out laughing at her. "Um, no, if you don't mind, I'd like us to be alone."

She gave me a sideways glance. "I don't really care. We have other plans in the bedroom, if you understand what I mean."

I walked out the door, sucking my teeth. "I'll see you later, Rubi. I'll be right back."

She closed the door behind me, and I was finally able to get into my car. I started the car and drove down the road. When I was driving down the road, my stomach began to hurt more and more. I'm hoping our date will be at a nice restaurant or something. I was thinking about the date when my phone rang. When I looked at my phone, there was a text message from Manny.

🙄

Meet me at my place now

Text sent at 8:15 pm

I didn't even send him a response to his text. I turned off my phone and drove to the restaurant. Tonight is my night, and I have no intention of selling drugs or murdering anyone. He is more than capable of waiting. Trevante is the last person I want to cancel on.

I arrived at this lovely eatery a few minutes later. You have the option of dining outside or indoors at this restaurant. I'm hoping we'll be eating outside since I'd like to gaze up at the magnificent stars while we eat and converse. I looked around and couldn't find him anywhere. I took out my phone and dialed his number. His phone ringed twice, and he answered.

"Hey, where are you? I arrived at the restaurant." In my sweetest voice, I said.

His husky voice sent shivers up my spine. "I know. Lil mama, I'm right here behind you."

I looked around, perplexed, and there he was, looking as fine as usual. In a suit, he looked fantastic. His chin hair was neatly shaved, and his hair was also neatly shaved. Both myself and him exchanged a smile. We hugged as we approached each other. He had such a wonderful scent. I just want to devour him.

💕

He flashed his pearly white teeth. "Come on, lil mama, let's go find our table."

He gently took my hand in his and led me into the restaurant. He spoke with the waiter, who then took us to our table. As I already stated, our table is outside, which I appreciate. When we got to our table, he pulled my chair out for me before I could sit down. He smiled as he walked up to his chair and sat down. I could stare at him all day if I wanted to.

Before speaking, he moistened his lips with his tongue. "By the way, you look absolutely stunning tonight."

I grinned from ear to ear. "Thank you, and you, too, are extremely handsome. In that suit, you look lovely."

While biting his lower lip, he smiled. "I appreciate it lil mama. You know ya boy try his best."

The waitress approached our table with a note pad in hand, interrupting our chat before we could go very far. "Hey, tonight I'm going to be your waitress. Let's start with your beverages."

I took a glance at the menu and immediately recognized the drink I want. "Um, could I please have a Martini?"

The waitress scribbled down what I said before focusing on Trevante. "And, sir, what can I get you?

After a brief examination of the menu, he realized what he desired. "Please give me the Moscow Mule."

The waitress scribbled down what he said and then smiled at us. "Ok. I'll be back with beverages for you guys.

We shook our heads as the waiter returned to the restaurant. We both returned to our previous conversation

I tucked my hand beneath my chin. "Can you tell me a little bit more about yourself? For example, how long have you been in Los Angeles?"

He laughed. "I've spent my entire life in Los Angeles. I was born and raised in this city. I had a difficult life growing up around here. My father was not present in my life, so I had to make quick money to support myself and my mother. I began hustling at a young age. I've been hustling since I was 14 years old, and I'm now 26 years old. I wanted to stop, but it's not as simple as you think."

I look at him with wide eyes since I had no idea he had been selling drugs for so long. "Wow, I get that, and I'm not here to pass judgment on you. It's eat or starve, you know."

He gave a kind smile. "Thank you, lil mama. I really appreciate it. Tell me a little about yourself."
