Storm's house had one bedroom so i didn't know where i was going to spend the night that night. I showered then changed into one of his shirts and stood there wondering where i was going to sleep.. he came from outside and stood behind me watching me for a while then walked past me and i looked at him pretty much still stranded and he smiled then pulled a duvet from the bed.
Me: where am i sleeping?..
Storm: you can afford to sleep when people are after you?..
Me: are you telling me this place is not safe?.
Storm: if i sleep beside you i can guarantee your safety.
Me: no thanks, i will take the couch in the living room..do you have blankets?..
I asked grabbing a pillow from the bed and seeing how serious i was, he decided to let me sleep on the bed and he would use the couch instead.
Me: or maybe we can both sleep on the bed as long as you maintain your end of the bed..
He smiled.. almost like telling me he knew i couldn't resist him..the truth is storm was hot.. Handsome well built and the mare look at his body was giving me goosebumps and he knew he was irresistible.
That night i was so tempted. I thought to myself, 'what was i to loose when he was just someone I wasn't going to be with for long', it wouldn't be so much a crime to enjoy myself that night because I had planned to run away the following morning. Whoever storm was, I didn't want to be associated with him because the bad boy in him reminded me of how i ended up in prison with bullet wounds..
* * * * *
That night after i was shot in the back, i felt someone pull my leg and drag me from the place i had fallen and after that it was total darkness until my head was raised after the lights went on and i saw two Police officers with one pointing a gun to my face..
Officer: she is wounded but still alive. Call the medics.
The other officers signalled the medics who had just gotten out of the ambulance and they hurried towards me.
I watched the officer pull a gun off my hand then when i was put on the stretcher. I thought i saw someone that looked like Debby lying not so far off from where I had been lying but everything was blurry. She had been shot too but I heard the medics confirm that she was dead. I couldn't understand what had happened, why did i have a gun in my hand and why was Debby lying there lifeless. Was she part of the mission or the people we were going to take care of and where were the rest of my team, did Debby shoot me from the back?
All those questions were racing through my head as the doctors were busy trying to keep me alive. I was a criminal as far as the the cops were concerned and why did they have to save my life when i was dead anyway. I wanted to die because i feared what would happen if i made it out of that alive...
* * * *
I got into bed and Storm threw a duvet over me before he switched off the bedside lamp and got into bed..we both looked to different direction and I told him goodnight but he didn't respond..
Storm: can i ask you something?
Me: yeah sure..
Storm: how did you end up in this mess?
Me: i trusted people i should never have trusted amongst them my best friend.
Storm: what did she do?..
I couldn't answer that because i didn't really know what transpired that night. Debby was involved in some shady criminal activities but it wasn't like i was a saint especially after we both met at the same mission only that i didn't know what we were both to do there or how she ended up dead.
The silence gave storm the impression that I did not want to talk about it and he did not ask again...
Storm: you can only talk about that when you are ready, meanwhile this is the safest place you can be and you can stay here as long as you want..
Me: thanks...
There was a bit of a silence then i heard him turning and my body had some reaction that i couldn't explain..i wanted him, i wanted him to make love to me because in prison, i had to survive and you can imagine how hard that was especially with the fact that i was very sexually active before i was locked up..
Me: can i ask for a favour?..
Storm: yes.. what is it?
Me: can you have s*x with me?..
Storm: huh!
I also turned to look at him..
Storm: ummh!.. i hope I didn't give you the impression that you owed me s*x did I?
Me: not at all... I'm a bit on edge right now and i kind of need you inside me. Its been a while..
Storm switched on the bedside light on his end and the room was partially lit. He turned to me and leaned on his elbow watching me then he extended his fingers and traced my face then leaned in for a kiss and that kiss ignited the fire in me..
We kissed as he caressed my body gently especially my thighs that were barely covered by his T-shirt. He pulled the t-shirt up my chest and kissed my belly all the way up as i gently massaged his back and kissed him on the neck as i pressed myself towards him and within no second it was already so hot that I had to pull off the t-shirt and throw it on the floor.
Storm's touch felt so good as he was so masculine and his kisses were so passionate. He knew exactly what I needed and he did it just perfectly. I felt him grow harder and harder the more we kissed and the more i caresed his body, butt and every place i knew that could turn him on...
Storm: are you sure about this?..
Me: yes..
I said in a soft tone in between our Kisses and he stretched his hand to reach for a drawer and he took out protection and let me do the honors....

At the club it got so busy that the evening came and just as i was winding up, i saw Rex walk in yet again with my boss and a few minutes later he called me to their table and asked if i wanted to make like five thousand shillings on top of what i had made on that day..
What was going on between my boss and and Rex, i had no idea but because i needed the money, I agreed. My boss paid us three thousand in a day plus the tips weren't bad as I could make four thousand on a good day just from the drunkards who wanted to tap my ass, buy me a drink..or just thank me for serving them well. I was good with customers and every customer i served, wanted me to serve them over and over again.. not that i slept with all of them but i understood customer service and i also understood that they were the guys who were paying me..
Rex was all smiles as my boss fold me to wind up and Go with him. This time, we were not going to book a room in the club but he was taking me somewhere else. I thought for a moment that i had hit the jackpot as Rex looked like he was interested in me and also interested in spending his money on me... With all the hustle from the ghetto, what else could i ask for?....
When changing i called Debby and told her i was not going to go home and she was pretty much okay. I still wasn't over the gun issue and I didn't want to go home late in the night again. I couldn't help but think that Maybe she was warning me because she was worried that her gang that terrorized people in the hood would bump into me in their operation and kill me.
See the thing about gangster life is if someone recognizes you in an operation, you kill them regardless of who they are.. be it a sister a brother, cousin, a father..you kill them so that you don't get exposed and i think that was her worry.. if her gang met me and i recognized who they were, they would kill me so that I would not tell anyone.
Rex and i left the club and that night, we spent in a nice hotel room and he gave me alot of money but again, we didn't sleep together or rather we slept in the same bed but he never touched me..
Me: i really feel like this is beginning to feel very weird.
Rex: what?..
Me: this thing you are doing. What do you want with me really?..
Rex: i like you..
Me: but not enough to sleep with me but you are still paying me, what's your end game?..
Rex: i don't have an end game. I like you alot and I just don't want you sleeping with other men so i would rather pay you and have you spend time with me..
Me: wow, you are really sick .you think i can be bought?.
Rex: I'm not buying you . I'm just..
Me: forget it..
I didn't have anything to say to Rex after he told me his mind but lay on my side of the bed and I didn't know what time he slept but i remember waking up to sounds of gunshots outside our room and we Both jumped out of bed and he quickly got his gun..
Me: what's going on?
I asked trying to find a weapon but i could not see anything so he gave me another gun. He had two.
Rex: i don't know.
I looked at him as if suggesting he ought to have known. Why did he take me to a place he knew wasn't safe.
I checked for the bullets then c****d the gun and followed Rex towards the door. He peeped and immediately started shooting towards the direction that had stairs and lifts..
I got out too and shot back as i ran towards a corridor that wasn't far off from.where we were and shot back at the guys.
Rex: be careful..
He shouted as i peeped and took down one man then after the guy died, the rest opened fire on me and i ran back towards the room dodging the bullets then turned and shot back at them and after i shot another of their guys, everyone else took off and I went after them again shooting abd trying to get a face and as they went down the steps, they shot back at me but they eventually left. I rushed back up to see if Rex was okay and he sure was...
Rex: are you okay?
Me: yeah but i can't sleep here..
I got in and picked my bag and told Rex if he was not going with me, i was going anyway...
He picked his stuff and we checked out before the police got there...

The following morning I woke up and Storm was not beside me. I quickly got up, pulled off the sheets from the bed and washed them in the bathroom before taking a shower. I was feeling funny after what happened between me and storm and for a minute i thought he would think i was a cheap ass but it didn't matter.
I got dressed, wore the same clothes i had then carried the sheets down in a bucket and found him in the kitchen preparing breakfast and our eyes met in an awkward stare..
Storm: good morning?..
Me: morning.. where can i air these sheets?..
Storm: you washed the bed sheets?..
Me: yeah...
Storm: you are the first to do that..
Me: huh!. How many more are there, just out of curiosity..
He smiled..
Storm: check out the airing lines at the back of the house..
I did and aired the sheets and we were set for breakfast in a few minute..
Storm and i talked about alot of things during breakfast then he said he was stepping out to do a few things and an hour after he did, i grabbed my cap, wore it and left the house...
Morgan got some beeping sounds in his laptop and when he checked, he saw that Davina had resurfaced and he called his voice who still wanted her killed on sight but Morgan insisted that she could still do the job..
I was waking around looking everywhere just incase of surprises and i quickly checked into a boutique to buy some more clothes and i took a while in there fitting and stuff..
I fitted the last dress and when i came out of the fitting room, Morgan was standing there with a guy I didn't know and he pulled his coat a bit so that i could see the gun on his waist..
Morgan: you must ve very stupid trying to run away then end up here knowing so well we put a tracker on you.
Me: did you?..
Morgan: don't be cute with me Davina, for your information I'm very pissed off and you don't want fo play games with me.
I looked around and realized there was nothing i could really do about his catching up with me.
Morgan: you know what you have to do.. one stupid move and I won't have a reason to leave you alive... I will pay for the clothes..
He grabbed all the clothes i had chosen and he led the way to the counter as i followed with the other guy behind me...
Morgan paid for the clothes and when we got outside, he told me to get in the car and i did without question.. how could i not have destroyed the tracker on the cape.... I landed right into the same thing i was running away from...
