Chapter 14
Grayson
The guys and I sit outside on a small stone wall.
I pull on a cigarette, tasting the ice mint flavor that goes down my throat like a snowflake, being swallowed whole.
"Dude, this guy has over twenty bodyguards, excluding the bodyguards that stands outside the entrance of the gate," RD informs us.
I turn my head to the side, loosening all the sore muscles in my neck and shoulders before blowing the smoke through my nostrils. "Cameras?"
"One camera outside of the building, four cameras all around the entry, and two cameras in the elevator," he reads from the file that was sent to us by Luke.
"This is going to be a piece of cake," Ash comments while sipping on his beer.
"No. His wife is going to be there. We can't possibly kill her," RD suggests but I shake my head.
"Weak for a woman? Don't worry about her, I'll kill her," I say while taking another pull off my cigarette.
Come on. Woman or not, I'd kill them.
I hear coughing, looking straight ahead, I see Scarlett standing next to RD, wheezing as she arches her back.
"Are you okay, love?" he asks while tapping her back, but she just swats him away.
I whistle and smile, before tossing my cigarette away.
She might act strong, but I still know that she has a problem with her chest. Not asthma 'coz she never took a pump, but her chest does get heavy around smoke.
I don't know why I throw my cigarette away. I'm still trying to kill her, aren't I? It shouldn't make a difference to me anyway.
"Scarlett will be our distraction. While you go inside, I will hack the cameras, especially the ones in the elevator. Then Ash can follow Scarlett and maybe both of you can get in the elevator together," RD decides.
Ash shifts and snarls, making me curious. Did something happen between the both? They're gone more distant than I have known.
"No. It's fine. I'll get in the elevator myself," Scarlett asserts.
I nod and look over at her again. Her green eyes are darkened because of the dark sky overhead, with thick clouds forming. Her jet-black hair is tied into a tight ponytail, lifting her face and accentuating her high cheekbones.
I stared for too long, so long that she had noticed and shrugged her shoulders at me, no doubt asking me 'what' with just a shake of her head.
I just shake my head and shove my hands into my pockets, looking down at the shape of my dick, which you can just see through my grey sweatpants. I'm bricked and it's because of Scarlett. I try to hide it but I know, I have to jerk off. I just have to, so I jump off the wall, landing on my feet, I pass Scarlett while walking to the house.
I look down while gripping my dick in my hand through my pants, as I walk to the bathroom. "What's so good about her man? Why do you love her so much?" I ask my dick, and when it doesn't respond, I shake my head and shut the bathroom door.

Scarlett
I hear the thunder rolling and the thick drops of rain hitting the roof. "I can't stop thinking of you, Casey," I start, fidgeting with the heart necklace around my neck.
"Remember when we ran and played in the rain? My mum should scold us because she didn't want us getting sick," I giggle, a tear dropping down my cheek.
"I wish...I wish you were here with me," I break down, gripping the heart between my fingers before bringing it to my lips to kiss it.
I shake my head and run my fingers through my hair, only then do I realize that my hair is soaking wet.
Mum wouldn't want me going to bed with wet hair. I hop out of bed and put on my hairdryer and just when I'm about to press the button, I see there is a white powder sprinkled on the floor, next to my hairdryer.
I sniff, my nose still running from crying. I then look inside my hair dryer and that's when I discover the white powder. I smile, drop the hair dryer down and run to the living room.
I had no time to find my slippers so I stand there, in front of Grayson, barefoot.
"What happened to you?" He inquires while taking my state in.
He stands in the kitchen with a lemonade drink in his right hand, half empty.
Half empty.
I smile. "Good try. You set a poisoned powder in my hairdryer so when I put it on, the particles will be inhaled by me, leaving me dead within seconds."
He whistles and raises his eyebrows. "You are too goddamn good," he drawled, taking another sip of lemonade.
"Oh, you think you have won? No, I'm one step ahead of you. I've noticed that the other guys don't drink lemonade, seeing that the jar was filled from the time we got here, until you started drinking it," I start, my toes begin ing to freeze on the ice tiles.
"Your point?"
"Long story short. I've put venom inside the lemonade. It will take about two minutes before your organs shut down, your body becomes numb, leaving you paralyzed, while your heart explodes in your chest. Puff!" I bring both hands out, mimicking an explosion.
I smirk."Theres always an explosion at the end, right?" I say, imitating his words.
He freezes and drops the drink, his hands start to shiver.
"You bitch. Help me now or else..."
"Or else? Looks like the guys aren't here to save you. You have about ten seconds left."
He collapses on the floor and starts to twitch. "He-help me, please," he begs.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
I hurriedly drop to his side, poking the anti-venom in the side of his throat.
God. I should have just killed him but I couldn't. I just couldn't.
After seconds, his body comes back alive and he takes in a deep breath, his veins turning back to green from blue.
"Thank me later," I sneer, before walking away from him.
I hear him coughing from behind me and I smile. I doubt that he will even think of trying to kill me again. This game is over.
As I walk, satisfaction clear on my face, I pass Asher's room. I can't stop thinking of that little moment we shared in the bathroom.
"Stop it," I whisper to myself, trying to ignore those thoughts. It was a quick fuck, that's all. That's all.
No strings attached, no feelings, nothing.
I should just distance myself from him, but I mean, how can I? Our rooms are next to each other. Oh right. I forgot to mention that to you.
The thunder roars, spitting its wrath malevolently throughout the sky. I can see it through the windows. I roll my eyes and begin to walk away from his room but I got startled by a scream coming from his room.
I rethink my decision. Will I want to enter his room and evade his privacy? No thank you. I start to walk but curiosity pulls on my shirt, pulling me to open his door. What if he's not okay?
I might regret this.
I close my eyes.
Goddammit, Scarlett.
