10 Chapter 10: The Pas (1/2)
When Zero and I reach the room, she awkwardly sits on the bed.
”I'll be back.”
I leave the room and grab some clothes and get changed. When I come back, she's standing on the balcony reading a book.
”Hey,”
She turns around.
”Can we talk?”
She bookmarks her place and sets the book down.
”Sure, but can we talk out here? It's so nice out today.”
I join her at the table.
”Listen Zero, what did Carlos tell you about Layla?”
”Nothing really. He just mentioned that she was a part of your past.”
”And you don't have any questions about that?”
She opens her book and starts to read.
”Your business is just that. Your business, but what did you want to show me?”
I notice her hand shaking a little bit.
”Oh yeah,”
I walk over to her and grab her arm.
”I can get this ugly collar off of you.”
She looks at me with wide eyes,
”Can you really?!”
I pull out a small chip and hold it to her collar. I beeps twice and then falls off.
”Ricky,”
I looks me in my eyes and I feel my heart beat speed up.
”Thank you.”
”Yeah, don't mention it. But now you owe me.”
I turn to leave the room but she grabs my sleeve.
”I refuse to be in someone's debt. So whatever you want me to do, i'll do it now.”
”Is that so?”
She gulps hard.
”Y-yes?”
”Careful what you say to me Zero.”
She clings to me tighter,
”I know what I said Ricardo. I can handle whatever you throw my way.”
I grab her wrist and pull her back inside the room.
”You'd better stop talking like that.”
”Or what? Should I be scared of you or something?”
I grab her by her waist and pull her closer to me. She bites her lip and looks me in my eye.
”What are you doing to me woman?”
I pick her up and she wraps her legs around me. Her lips are soft and taste sweet. I grab a hand full of her hair and gently pull on it, exposing her neck.
”Mhm, Ricky.”
'Ah shit, my dick's on hard already.'
I walk over to the bed and lay her down,
”Are you ready for this? Because once I start, I won't stop.”
She bites down in her thumb,
”Y-yes.”
I take off my clothes and crawl on top of her, just as I go to take her panties off, there's a knock on the door.
”Damnit, come back later! I'm busy!”
Another knock.
”I said come back later!”
The knocking turns into a loud pounding.
I pull my pants back up and stomp towards the door.
”What the fuck man?! I thought I said to come back-”
I look up and see her. Why does it have to be her? I step out of the room so Zero won't here me.
”What the fuck are you doing here Layla?!”
She looks down at her stomach,
”Ricky, our baby needs his father.”
My blood is boiling at this point.
”Ricky, please. Say something.”
I smack her with the back of my hand and then grab her shirt.
”You're crazy Layla, that damn kid is not mine and you know it. I told you what would happen the next time you showed your face here.”
”No Ricky! Please!”
”Carlos, come up here!”
He jogs up the stairs.
”Woah, what the hell's going on? And who let her in here?”
”I'll find out sooner or later. Take her to the basement.”
She sobs loudly as he pulls her towards the elevator.
”Damn you Ricardo! I'll fucking kill you! I will!!”
I ignore her and walk back into the room. Zero's sitting on the bed looking at me.
”Shit. Did you hear any of that?”
”Every word.”
”You can't possibly have nothing to say.”
”I do,”
She walks over to me,
”I think you look sexy when you're angry.”
”Fuck, Zero.”
