Levi picked on the third ring."Jake wasn't expecting your call so soon. And if I remember correctly, we were supposed to call you and not the other way round.""Yeah well, change of plans. I need to go out. Now." He had to get it over with before his senses would come back and he would realize how terrible what he was about to do was. The adrenaline was pumping through his blood, it was all he needed but Jake wasn't stupid, he knew that all hormones wear out with time. Including adrenaline."Unless you mean going to a business, then I am afraid that this is not your driver's number," Levi said."Come on man. You know exactly what I mean, now I gotta go right now." "Why right now?" Jake sighed. He should really learn how to hide his emotions. Maybe he could take lessons from Amanda if she will be willing to teach him."Because I really need the money. A friend of mine is in the hospital and it's kinda Amanda's fault. Her parents have threatened that if I don't pay the hospital bills,
"When we get in there," Levi said, "allow me to do all the talking, and please try to not show any signs of fear. Betty thrives on that. She will wear you out till you become weak.""Betty?" Jake asked. "Like a woman.""She may look like a woman but she is far from being that." Levi ended the conversation and walked away from him.The was something different about this clubhouse. The lights weren't as bright, the crowd was not as wild and the bouncers appeared meaner. Chills ran down Jake's spine as they walked into the club. A persistent ringing grew in his head, and he shot his eye severally to get rid of it but to no avail. No one else noticed the distress that Jake was in. No one except Maverick who turned a blind eye to it. For all he cared, the man could fall down and die. He was going to do it after all. Betty was a tricker drug dealer. She never made any sales without trying to play with her seller's or buyer's intelligence. She loved the thrill of it, she lived for it. And s
"Wow, straight to the point. I like that. Let's see what you have in the bag, pretty boy?" Jake brought out a stash of the drug and passed it to Betty. "May I?" The woman said while holding a pocket knife in the air."You can. But you will have to buy that bag once you open it.""And does it still go for the same price?""If the same price is $150? Then yes it does.""You're kidding right?" Betty forced a laugh."I wish I was but I'm not. The price, unfortunately, has been increased. But then again, so has the quality of the product."Betty threw the stash down. "I'm paying $70 for each and that's the highest I can go.""Well, then." Jake took the stash from the table and placed it into the bag. "I guess I'll just have to tell Levi to pass the information of you doubting his product to the Chairman. Have a lovely day, Betty. It might be the last one," he said and stood up to leave."Wait!" He heard and smiled to himself. He turned around and saw Betty giving him the look he wanted.
Her lips were silky and soft and Jake would have kissed them forever if he could. He traced her face with his hands and the action caused Amanda to moan. She melted into his kiss like heated chocolate. Her hands explored his back, defining how strong his muscles were. The heat that radiated from him was mind-numbing. In a split second, Jake had her back on the wall and she wrapped her legs around him. She had never been more aroused. All her senses were heightened and she could feel her body dancing in the rhythm to his. They moved wonderfully and their lips created sparks that exploded in her head. "What?" She said in between breaths as Jake trailed his lips down her neck."I want you. I want you right now," his breath was ragged as he spoke and his hands had found their way to her nipples. He caressed it and Amanda moaned in response."Jake," she said softly. The sound ignited a flame in Jake and he hasten his actions, massaging her breasts till her head was thrown back. He then l
"Okay, I can't think of anything," Amanda admitted. "We are going to see Sasha today," Jake said and ignored the look of pure dread that was seen on Amanda's face."We?" She dropped the cup of coffee and asked."Yes, we. Look, Sasha is a nice person and I am sure that you guys will get along perfectly. And you can use this chance to apologize." The smile was still on Jake's face and nothing annoyed Amanda more. Did she ever tell him that she wants to apologize to him? "I'm not going." She looked into space, avoiding his brown eyes. She felt like she wouldn't be able to stand her ground if she did. After last night, she felt an overwhelming attraction to him. Everything he said was everything she wanted to do, just to make him happy. Her mother wouldn't be happy about it."Why not? Amanda, look at me. Why won't you be going?" "Because Jake I am not ready for any more drama with that girl. There is this big history between you two and I don't want to come in between that.""What big
The room went dark as Sasha tried to run away from Amanda. Amanda didn't say a word, she enjoyed watching her tremble in her presence. She stayed mute and allowed Sasha to run around in fear. The young lady sprang from her bed when the nurses didn't hear her deafening screams for help. Amanda was careful to not touch her, she followed her movements with her eyes. It would be so easy to kill her in this state. But she couldn't, Jake would know that she did it and jail would become her new home.Sasha frantically found her way out of the room. She didn't turn back to see if the witch was following her. All she did was wrong, she ran like her life depended on it and it did. The one minute she turned to observe if the woman was following her, she stumbled into a hard chest."No! Let go of me!" She screamed while beating the owner of the body."Sash, calm down. It's me, Jake, calm down." Jake tried his best to calm the woman but she insisted on inflicting bodily harm on her capture."I sai
Jake heaved a sigh as he looked into the room where Sasha was battling for her life again because of him. He didn't deserve to have her as a friend and worse, to be so close to him. He was starting to see that all he brought her was pain. Even in their high school days, it would always be because of him that she would get into trouble. Often than not, she took full responsibility and was always punished for his crimes. She was the best friend any man could ever ask for. He had hoped that when he had enough money, he would take care of her and not send her to the hospital, twice. He had to start doing right by her. It was past time."She is going to be alright babe," Amanda offered her pointless words of encouragement but they didn't matter to Jake that much. What he wanted to know was why Sasha would say such things."What did you do when you went in there?" He asked with a sceptical look on his face."What are you talking about? You're the one who told me to go say hello to her and s
"Doc, please tell me that you have good news for me?" Jake said as he hurried to meet the doctor."Mr. Swanson, I think it will be best if we discuss this in my office." The doctor's voice sounded pale and weak, Jake had to fight back the tears that threatened to fall."Is it that bad?" He asked."Please, come with me," the doctor insisted and motioned his hand in the direction he wanted Jake to move. Jake turned soberly to Amanda and noticed a shimmer in her eyes. His face immediately contorted to a look of confusion. Amanda couldn't actually be happy that Sasha was in this mess, could she?"Babe, can you stay with her while I go meet the doctor?" "I can't go in there again." Just the thought of seeing the woman made her stomach turn. She couldn't spend a minute with her and someone Jake wanted her to stand by her side. She didn't think so."But babe, who will watch over her?""God. Yes, I said it! Jake, that woman thinks I want to kill her again. If I go in there, she might develop
