Kidnapped Accidentally On Purpose
Character background
“The real story isn’t the plot but how the characters unfold by it.”
Bailey
Bailey hasn't had the best life possible. Her father passed away when she was young and she would do anything to bring him back. She's 18 years old and lives in Los Angeles with her mother, grandfather and grandmother. Unlike most young adults her age, she likes spending her weekends at Maggie's Cafe. Her biggest dream was to get accepted into university so that she can go and study Interior design and decorating. She's getting ready to start her life with Kevin but her best friend Pepper is worried that it's too soon to move in with Kevin. This girl can't seem to shut her mouth, she always has to try and say something smart.
Greyson (Aka gang leader)
Greyson Carr has been running from the feds for 5 years now. He became the world's worst criminal when he was 18. He recently turned 23 and lives right across the country. He doesn't fool around and gets the job done. He takes his line of work up seriously and doesn't believe in slip-ups. When a hostage irritates him, he gets rid of them. He likes playing games with girls, also the only games he plays. He doesn't believe in having friends and family means nothing to him. He became a rebel mainly because he was an orphan being moved from this family to the next. He's heartless and doesn't believe in the word love, "You know love doesn't exist, it's just some fairy tale they make you believe from the day you are born till the day you die."
Michael (Aka asshole)
He's Greyson's right hand. 22-year-old Michael Morgenstern joined Greyson's gang mainly because he had no choice to. He was shot and Greyson was the first to find him. You can basically say he's repaying the favor. He is arrogant but won't ever admit it. He likes getting his hands dirty. He lost his mother due to cancer when he was six and a year later, he lost his dad due to a firefighting mission gone terribly wrong. He was always the black sheep of the family. After losing his parents he started working for himself. "In life, I've learnt that your, the only one that's got your back always." He's somehow become cold and cares about no one but himself.
Alec (Aka rich boy)
He's always eager to do a job. 22 years old Alec Lightwood had an easy life. His parents were loving and he was a rich spoiled brat that had everything a child could ever want. That all changed the day his sister got murdered. Yes, you heard right he had a sister not many know this because he doesn't talk about it and besides, they moved to a different town straight after. When a job needs to be done his, there to do it, he doesn't like waiting to finish. He starts and gets it over with. He joined the gang because he ended up making a deal with the wrong people, this my dear friend almost cost him his life. Unlike Greyson he values family but hasn't heard from his parents ever since he left the house. Many underestimates, him but they shouldn't. He gets angry when he has to do all the thinking, he doesn't like it when people depend on him for answers.
Jace (Aka Mister Softy)
He is a soft caring person. He doesn't like hurting others. This doesn't exactly fit the gang requirements. 21 years old Jace Thompson is tested every day of his life. He doesn't like killing but when in a gang it kind of has to become your thing. He comes from Texas and grew up to be the man in the house when his father left his mother. He practically begged her to leave him because he knew his father was cheating on his mother. That's a secret he'll take with him to his grave one day. "I beg of you leave him he's no good please mama you got to believe me, that's all I could say I couldn't tell her about the other woman she'd be devastated." He worked hard every day just to be able to support his mother and twin sisters while still having to attend school. He knows what it's like to work hard and doesn't mind a little work.
Olive Evans
She's known them for 5 years mainly because her brother Liam does business with them. Olive Evans 23 years old lives in a beautiful lakeside house in New York. She's always had a soft spot for the boys but her personal favorite was and will always be Greyson. Unlike most girls Olive likes giving special attention it's her specialty. She also gets very jealous very quickly when any other girls touch or looks at Greyson. She wants to be his but he's not one that makes those types of commitments.
Liam Evans
He's Olive's brother and he's the big boss. People fear him simply because he takes care of those who don't obey his orders. He's serious about his line of work. 26-year-old Liam Evans lives in New York in one of the biggest mansions you can think of. He runs multiple drug cartels and underground fight clubs. He feels nothing for anyone and walks around with countless deaths on his hands like it's a prestigious award. He and Olive still have their parents but he lost contact a long time ago when he took over from his dad. Guess it's kind of like the pack has a new alpha and the old one is forced to see how everything gets taken from him.
Julian Sanders
He wasn't always your bad boy. Unlike the rest he was good but it got boring. 18-year-old Julian used to attend a private school in Los Angeles. Everything changed when he was sent to rehab because of the fact that he became an alcoholic. He got mixed up with the wrong crowd and ended up becoming a criminal. He disappeared in thin air leaving no trace of him even being alive. Things got a little complicated when he saw someone from his past. What will he do? Will he explain himself or is he too good for that.
1:
My boss asked me to go and deposit the money. So, I did as I was asked but stopped at Starbucks first. I had one hell of a day at the Cafe. I ordered myself a double coffee as usual before making my way over to the bank.
Not in my wildest dreams every would I imagine that my life would change in a blink of an eye. When I talk about change, I don't mean in a good way I mean in a bad way. The type of change you would rather avoid than face. It all started when I walked up to the cashier.
"(Bailey) Hi, I would like to make a deposit for Maggie's Cafe."
"(Cashier) Hi, how much are you depositing?"
"(Bailey) About $1000."
"(Cashier) Right, I'll need you to sign here please."
And that was when I heard the screams, gunshots and four men yelling at us to lie down on the ground if we wanted to still live. I couldn't identify them because they were masked but I knew that this was 100% a bank robbery.
The guns, masks and yelling men made that clear. They asked the lady that helped me just a second ago to open the door as well as the vault. She opened the door and directed two of the men to the guy that had the vault key.
He refused so they took the key and shot him right there and then. I didn't see them shooting him but I saw his cold dead body drop a few feet in front of me. Soon after the red liquid started spilling from his body. There was a bloodline from his body to my hands.
I was covered in a dead man's blood. It made me sick, to say the least.
"(Michael) Move the girl elsewhere."
"(Jace) The order was to keep the hostages secure."
"(Michael) Yes, I know but I told you to move her, can't you see the blood covering her?"
"(Jace) Fine whatever I'll move her."
The one man walked over to me and helped me up. The other guy gave him a cold glare and that made him shove me forward until he pushed me down beside an older guy. He bent down next to my ear and said sorry for shoving me.
"(Jace) I'm sorry for shoving you it wasn't my intention it's just he's so demanding."
"(Michael) Can you hurry up or do you want a hostage to escape?"
"(Jace) I'm coming."
"(Michael) I'm sure she's fine."
"(Jace)No harm done in making sure."
"(Michael) I guess not but you're a robber, not a medic!"
The other two men came back with about six bags stacked full of cash. They told us all to remain calm and to not call the police or they'll kill us one by one. Who were these people and how were they so heartless? I mean they shot an innocent man for no reason, robbed a bank and now their threating to kill us.
Three of the men made their way outside, loading the van. They returned and made sure we were calm. The first guy which I presume is the leader yelled out to grab a hostage for in case they had trouble with the feds.
Guess who was the unlucky one, me of course. Why did it have to be me? At this moment I wished they had killed me instead I'd rather die than be kidnapped by psychopaths.
"(Michael) Guess it's your lucky day."
"(Bailey) You call this lucky you're kidnapping me for crying out loud."
"(Michael) Shut up won't you, we won't kill you. We just need you."
"(Bailey) Yes, to bail you out if you get into trouble."
"(Michael) If you want to ever come back, I suggest you shut your trap."
"(Bailey) You're rude you know that this is no way to speak to someone, especially not someone that might bail you out of your trouble."
"(Michael) I told you to shut up."
I probably should have kept my mouth shut because the guy taking me towards the van is the same one that ordered the other guy to move me from the blood. Might I add he is the one that just slapped me through my face, the bastard has sure got some nerve. Who does he think he is slapping me like that?
"(Alec) That was unnecessary."
"(Michael) She wouldn't shut her trap."
"(Presumed gang leader) You could of duck taped it or held it shut. You had no need to slap a woman. Those were never the orders!"
"(Bailey) You should listen to him you know."
"(Presumed gang leader) I never told you to open your mouth and speak love so do us a favor and shut up or I can help you if it's too much of a difficult task for you."
"(Bailey) Fi...."
"(Greyson) Not a single word from you, further understood?"
At this moment all I could do was nod I mean he told me to not say another word. I was shoved into the van and accompanied by the asshole that slapped me. I swear if he touched me again, I'll kill him (need to find a weapon. I'm not leaving with these psychopaths.)
"(Presumed leader) Tie her hands and feet together."
"(Michael) Sure thing boss."
"(Greyson) ) That way you can't go anywhere love. Oh, and do me a favor duck, tape her mouth while you're at it. Wouldn't want her making a noise."
"(Michael) On it. Boy, this is going to be so much fun."
So, he did what was asked and I hated every bit of it but I could see he enjoyed doing this. He liked seeing me get furious because he was doing his job. If they asked nicely, I wouldn't run but no they had to tie me up. For what, all because they believe I would try to escape.
I'm stupid but not that stupid. I've watched enough movies to know that they kill you if you try and escape. I wasn't going to cut my life short over one stupid choice. After what felt like hours the van came to a stop and the doors opened.
The leader I presume motioned the guy next to me to grab some bags and me. After unloading the van, they opened a sewer hole. Oh, hell no there's no way in hell that I'm going down there.
First, the one guy went down, next the bags, the other two guys until only me and I guess the leader was left.
"(Greyson) Don't try and be smart the last person that did that died, friendly warning"
He picked me up and threw me down the hole. Once the asshole caught me the presumed leader closed the hole and came down. I was shocked to see that this wasn't a sewer but rather a lit, up tunnel.
It felt like we were walking for ages. Well, they were walking and I was being carried around.
"(Michael) She's heavy you know."
"(Greyson) Just put her down and loosen her feet."
He just said I was heavy and I couldn't even defend myself because my mouth was still taped shut. After a while, we reached a big white door. The presumed leader opened it and we went into a beautiful house. I was shoved in a room and the door was locked behind me. I could hear them talking.
"(Michael) Greyson what are we going to do about her?"
"(Greyson) She's a hostage Michael for crying out loud."
"(Jace) We didn't need to take her you do know that."
"(Alec) We had to."
"(Michael) No, we didn't because we didn't get into trouble with the feds."
At this point, my whole body felt numb. They probably injected me with something to make me sleep. Despite my state, I could still think, my brain was still wide awake. I realized soon after that I had the whole gang's names. Not that it would matter much longer be everything went black and I fell asleep.
2:
Greyson, Michael, Jace, and Alec. That was the first thing I remembered when I woke up this morning or I'm presuming it is morning. Not like I can open a curtain to check because we're somewhere underground.
I got to my feet and scanned my surroundings. I was actually doing this to check for a bathroom, I really needed it. When I found one, I was relieved. When inside I realized there was a window, I've watched lots of movies and it thought me one thing lock the door and climb out of the window.
I did just that. The window leads to a very long hallway. I was scared at first but I had to take my chances. If I wanted to go back home, I only had one choice and I took it even if it meant risking my life.
It felt as if the hallway just got longer and I started panicking when I heard voices. After a while I reached another door, I wish I had never opened it.
"(Michael) You actually thought you were going to escape."
"(Bailey) I had to try I guess."
"(Michael) Very dumb move. The boss isn't pleased with you."
The guy known as the arrogant asshole grabbed (Michael) me by the arm and I came face to face with the rest of his gang. They all had furious looks on their faces but there was one, in particular, that could kill me with the look he gave me and that was Greyson the presumed leader.
"(Greyson) Can you boys excuse us please."
"(Michael) What for Greyson?"
"(Greyson) You're not supposed to give out our names!"
"(Bailey) Umm sorry to burst your bubble but I heard them all last night."
"(Greyson) Impossible you were out cold."
"(Bailey) So, you thought."
"(Greyson) What!"
"(Bailey) Want to bet."
"(Greyson) Bring it on sugar."
"(Bailey) Your Greyson, that's Jace he helped me yesterday, the arrogant asshole is Michael and you're Alec."
"(Michael) I'm not an arrogant asshole!"
"(Bailey) Yes, you are."
"(Greyson) Boys please can I have a moment with her alone?"
"(Alec) Whatever, we'll be in the office if you need us."
They left and he took me by the arm leading me into a closed-off study.
"(Greyson) You know I warned you not to try and be smart."
"(Bailey) I know."
"(Greyson) But still you showed me you'll disobey my orders."
"(Bailey) And your point is?"
"(Greyson) My point is you seem to want to get yourself killed!"
"(Bailey) I'd rather die than be a hostage!"
"(Greyson) You can't complain, you're not tied up we let you walk around freely but that seems to be the wrong decision."
"(Bailey) Whatever it's not like I can go to a mall or something. So technically I'm not free!"
He stepped closer and I gave one step back. He took another step until I almost fell over a chair, he caught me before I fell. Once he let go of me, he basically forced me to sit down, while the 6.1-foot monster towered over me.
"(Bailey) You're not intimidating me you know."
"(Greyson) Is that so, I like to think that I do just admit it."
"(Bailey) I will do no such thing!"
"(Greyson) Fine, I'll bring myself down to your level then."
He crouched and looked me straight in the eyes. This intimidated me but I'll never admit it, I couldn't it would make me feel too weak.
"(Greyson) That's better don't you agree?"
"(Bailey) I guess."
"(Greyson) You could sound a bit more enthusiastic."
"(Bailey) Why should I, it's not like I like you."
"(Greyson) No one said you had to just understand my point I can't let you go you know too much."
"(Bailey) I won't say a word I swear."
"(Greyson) Sorry love no can do I've worked too hard to get to where I am and I'm not bound to lose it to some girl."
"(Bailey) Just let me go I'll keep quiet I promise."
"(Greyson) You don't seem to understand that I can't do that."
"(Bailey) You can it's easy, you just don't want to."
I stood up and was about to walk out when he got hold of my arm pulling me back into the study. He swung me around with my back to the wall.
"(Greyson) Don't ever do that again."
"(Bailey) Why?"
"(Greyson) You'll leave when I dismiss you."
"(Bailey) Who gives you the right to tell me what to do?"
"(Greyson) You're my hostage so I rest my case. Like I said don't ever do that again it makes me so furious like you wouldn't believe."
"(Bailey) Whatever."
"(Greyson) Don't be arrogant just remember I can kill you you’re of no value to me!!!!"
"(Bailey) Well, why don't you kill me then."
"(Greyson) Get out of my sight!"
"(Bailey) Where am I supposed to go?"
"(Greyson) The room at the end of the hall. Take a warm bath and get some rest."
"(Bailey) What am I supposed to wear?"
"(Greyson) I'll get something don't worry."
"(Bailey) Bossy much."
I made my way down the hall to the room. There were guns scattered around, it scared me not going to lie. I took a shower and got dressed only partly before he barged in. I stood there in the room in sweatpants and my sports bra.
I didn't hear the door but I felt his cold touch against my warm skin. He moved my wet hair, his touch felt good but I couldn't let him do this. I would look weak and vulnerable. His hands moved up and down my arms. The next thing I knew he spun me around.
I was now face to face with my kidnapper. His Emerald eyes captivated me, though they had this coldness in them. He was almost heartless but not quiet.
"(Greyson) Get dressed."
"(Bailey) I sleep this way, so I am dressed."
"(Greyson) That's going to be a problem now isn't it."
"(Bailey)Nah your, not sleeping here so why would it bother you?"
He took a step closer and I took two back. Eventually, he was in front of me again. I found myself in a sticky situation when I landed on the bed because this was the perfect moment for him to take advantage. He towered over me and leaned in whispering.
"(Greyson) This is my room where else do you think I'm going to sleep?"
"(Bailey) I don't know, anywhere but here."
"(Greyson) I'm sleeping here deal with it, wouldn't want you pulling the stunt from earlier. You might not be as lucky this time."
He got up and I kept quiet. I couldn't do anything but comply my life depended on it. It didn't leave me with much of a choice. He showered and got into bed, me being me ignored him turning my back to him.
I felt his arms around me pulling me closer to him. Did he really think I wanted to cuddle no thank you? I elbowed him and he clearly got the message because he moved.
3:
I woke up with one hell of a headache and an empty bed. Greyson was nowhere to be found. I got out of bed and went to get some coffee. They were all seated at the table talking about some mission gone wrong.
I ignored them and kept quiet. Once I had my coffee, I made my way to the room. Oh, how I longed for some sunlight but instead I was stuck with a bunch of criminals who knows where. After finishing my coffee, I wanted to get dressed but as soon as I wanted to dress, I realized I couldn't find my clothes.
"(Bailey) Boys has anyone seen my clothes?"
(Greyson turns around) No one had them."
"(Bailey) Someone must have taken them they were in the bathroom."
"(Michael) I took them and got rid of them."
"(Bailey) You're such an asshole those were my favorite."
"(Michael) What makes you think I care."
"(Bailey) I never said you did but you could show respect for other things."
"(Michael) Sorry I don't, you're not that special."
"(Bailey) Such an arrogant..."
"(Greyson)That's enough, second drawer in the room."
"(Bailey) Thank you."
"(Greyson) Do me a favor get dressed please."
"(Bailey) What do you have a problem with me walking around in a bra?"
"(Greyson) Get dressed, now!!"
"(Bailey) Geez, I'm on my way no need to yell."
"(Greyson) Listen when I speak the first time because if you do, I won't have to yell."
"(Bailey) For crying out loud I'm sorry I said I was on my way to dress geez."
I turned around and went to dress. I brushed my teeth and comb my hair. I was about to go out when Greyson came in.
"(Greyson) You're on thin ice young lady."
"(Bailey) What did I do?"
"(Greyson) Your mouth is too big, when I tell you to do something you do it understood."
"(Bailey) Yes but..."
"(Greyson) Shut up remember there's a bullet with your name on it. All it takes for me is to pull the trigger, don't forget that love."
I gave a step back when he stepped closer, he scares me. He shouldn't but he does. What he said made sense they didn't need me he could kill me anytime without hesitation. He gave me this cold glare before pulling me out of the room by my arm.
"Greyson) Alright, boys Liberty bank is up next."
"(Bailey) You’re going to rob a bank?"
"(Michael) None of your business shut up and do as, you're told."
"(Greyson) Alright, Michael easy now."
"(Alec) Can we just go and get this over with."
"(Greyson) Someone's eager to do this."
"(Alec) I'm not eager I just want to get a move on so that we can leave."
"(Bailey) Leave where to?"
"(Jace) Don't."
"(Greyson) Shut up and stop asking questions, right It's showtime. Let's collect some money."
What is it with these guys? They keep telling me to shut up do I look like a dog to them. It's really starting to piss me off. I'm not a piece of trash you can stomp on as you wish. They can be glad I'm here I'm the only thing keeping them out of jail.
Oh, how I wish to go home. I miss my job, my friends and most of all my boyfriend. Everything happened so quickly I couldn't even say goodbye, will I ever see them again? I wish I knew maybe if I play along and get on their good side, they'll let me go.
Doubt it they'll rather kill me than release me I'm too big of a risk. I know too much so I might as well get comfortable because this is my new home and life. I'll always be in hiding and I'll always be running from the cops.
Not fond of the idea but what can I do, I can't exactly run away because if they find me, they'll definitely kill me. So there really is no other option I'm stuck with a bunch of criminals. What has my life come to? One moment I was in the cafe on my way to the bank, stood in a queue just to get kidnapped.
Has no one even thought about looking for me have they just forgotten about me? Am I that invisible? We got in the van and they made me wear a mask.
"(Michael) Here put this on."
"(Bailey) No way."
"(Greyson) Shut up and put on the mask."
"(Bailey) That's it I had just about enough of you telling me to shut up, I'm not a dog."
"(Greyson) Shut up, remember our conversation from earlier."
"(Bailey yelling) Stop telling me to shut up, yes I do and I don't care."
"(Greyson) Tape her mouth shut and put the mask on. Oh, make sure to tape her hands and feet as well."
"(Michael) Sure, thing boss."
"(Greyson) If she doesn't want to listen, we'll teach her the way things are done."
"(Bailey) No plea..."
That bastard if they cut me off, I swear I'm going to kill him. Or hurt him at least can't kill him because I'll be the first one dying. Goodness life is so complicated and dealing with criminals, don't even get me started. It's one vicious cycle of never-ending struggle.
The drive felt like it was taking forever. Just when I thought it would never end the vehicle came to a halt.
"(Greyson) Right boys everyone remembers the plan right."
"(Jace) Yes, boss."
"(Alec) Yes."
"(Michael) Shall we do this?"
"(Greyson) Come let's go."
I couldn't watch them rob the bank because I was lying down flat and everything was tied up but I heard the bomb go off. I feared for my life to say the least. Who were they and why was I here? Why did they have to take me? Out of everyone they could have picked they picked me.
I officially hate life it's against me. All the bad things always happen to me. They came back and the vehicle started up. I don't know what speed they were driving but I was falling around. I bumped my head, had a blackout and that's all I remember.
Someone picked me up and laid me down on the bed. How did I know it was a bed? Simple because it was soft, warm and welcoming. Finally, my body rested and my mind drifted off.

Crayon's pov
She was a problem a big one because her mouth is too big. She always has to be smart and say something back. Little does she know that her pretty little mouth is going to land her in big trouble.
The boys and I don't need any trouble why we took her in the first place I don't know. It's not like we'll run into trouble, I'm careful and I thought the gang to be as well. I can't help it, she pushes my buttons but unlike the others, I don't want to harm her. The others ended up dead but yet she's still alive.
If I wanted to, I could kill her right now but something inside me is stopping me from doing so. I've never had a problem with getting rid of them maybe this was just a phase I was passing through.
I made my way to the kitchen to get some coffee. Come to think of it I haven't seen her around since last night. She better not think of escaping she knows what happened last time.
"(Greyson) Have you seen Bailey anywhere?"
"(Alec) No, the last time I saw her was last night."
"(Greyson) Check the rooms and tell the rest to check the halls!"
"(Alec) I'll do it now, just want to finish my breakfast."
"(Greyson) Now! Every second we waste is a second she gets to run."
"(Alec) Okay just calm down."
"(Crayso) Don't tell me to calm down, remember I have the bullets that will end you."
"(Alec) Go ahead you'll do me a favor!"
"(Greyson) Don't you ever forget who took you in and helped you when you were fed up with your perfect little life!!"
"(Alec) Fuck you!"
"(Greyson) You wish, don't test my patience."
That little bitch is really testing me, doesn't she listen. I finished my coffee and checked the study. She wasn't there, the rest reported back and she wasn't there either. So, I went to check the room, in hope that she's there.
She wasn't in the room, the last place she could be in the bathroom. I swung the door open and there she was in the shower. She got a fright and I turned around immediately.
"(Bailey) Cheese don't I have any privacy."
"(Greyson) I'm sorry I thought you...."
"(Bailey) What tried to escape. I'm not that stupid it's not like I'll get far anyway."
"(Greyson) I'm glad you realize that."
"(Bailey) Can you please get out I'm showering if you don't mind!"
"(Greyson) Trust me don't want to be here any longer than I need to be."
"(Bailey) Go!"
"(Greyson) Fine, geez I'm leaving."
Well, that was awkward walking in on her showering. I feel so stupid. Anyway, I went to the study to join the boys.
"(Greyson) Right boys, what's our plan of action?"
"(Alec) That's your job Greyson to tell us what's happening."
"(Greyson) Alec if you’re not happy with the way I do things you’re welcome to leave!"
"(Alec) Whatever I'm going to take a smoke."
"(Jace) What place we hitting up next, that's a start."
"(Greyson) None we have unfinished business in New York.
"(Michael) Unfinished business."
"(Greyson) I never told you Liam contacted me in connection with his business."
"(Jace) I don't understand."
"(Greyson) He's got a business proposition for us."
"(Michael) What kind?"
"(Greyson) Not sure he'll discuss that when we get there. We're flying tomorrow early. That's it we're done here now if you can excuse me, I have some things to finish before tomorrow."
(A few hours passed) I got up and left. I reached the room and there she was in her blue jeans and a black bra. Without noticing I found myself behind her with my hands on her warm body. She had shivers all over her spine once my hands made contact with her body.
She turned around and our eyes met. She clearly likes being a tease. I walk over to the door to close it so that we won't be disturbed.
"(Bailey) So, New York huh."
"(Greyson) It's none of your business"
"(Bailey) Well, you’re making it my business I mean you kidnapped me."
"(Greyson) Doesn't matter."
She walked past me but I stopped her.
"(Greyson) Where are you going"
"(Bailey) Away from you clearly."
"(Greyson) I didn't dismiss you."
"(Bailey) You don't have to."
"(Greyson) I told you before you leave when I tell you to. You don't leave as you please."
"(Bailey) Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know I was a possession. Some object you own"
"(Greyson) I never said that."
"(Bailey) Well, you treat me like one, you’re not my boss."
"(Greyson) Didn't say that either."
"(Bailey) Didn't have to your body gives off more than you know."
"(Greyson) That's not true."
"(Bailey) It is. Do us all a favor don't treat others like shit."
"(Greyson) You need to learn to shut up."
"(Bailey) I won't I'm a hostage, not a possession so don't, treat me like one."
"(Greyson) I treat you better than most hostages get treated be grateful."
"(Bailey) Whatever."
I grabbed her and next thing I know she was backed against the wall with me in front of her. She looked scared, petrified even.
"(Greyson) You'll leave when I say you may."
"(Bailey) Let me go Greyson!"
"(Greyson smirking) Never Bailey."
The way she said my name drove me insane. This girl sure has some nerve. I assured her I wouldn't hurt her, I'll never dare.
"(Greyson) You can stop looking so afraid, I won't hurt you."
"(Bailey) Never said you would."
"(Greyson) Just saying."
"(Bailey with a pleading look on her face) Let me go please."
"(Greyson) Why? I'm enjoying your company."
"(Bailey) Really?"
"(Greyson) Stop being a tease."
She bit her bottom lip, she thought I didn't see it but I did. It drove me crazy.
"(Greyson) Stop. "
"(Bailey) Stop what?"
"(Greyson) Stop biting your lip."
"(Bailey) I'm not."
"(Greyson) You are I'm not stupid I can see you."
"(Bailey) Well if it bothers you so much why don't you do something about it."
And I did just that, shouldn't have challenged me, love. It's dangerous to do that because I always accept. I had my hands on her bum motioning that I wanted to pick her up. Her legs wrapped around my waist when I lifted her.
"(Greyson) Can see you know the drill, probably practiced a few times already."
"(Bailey) Nope, not once."
"(Greyson) Come on love don't lie to me."
"(Bailey) I'm not lying."
We ended up on the bed, I hovered over her. Must say I've always had wondering hands. She laid there motionless, leaving me to do whatever I wanted.
My hands moved over her body and our lips met. She had soft welcoming pink lips, just perfect. Damn what wasn't perfect about her. My lips touched her neck and I felt shivers on her body once again.
"(Greyson) Mmmmm somebody's cold."
"(Bailey) Shut up."
"(Greyson) Make me."
"(Bailey) Your job not mine."
Next thing I know us kissing turned into a make-out session. I lost it I lost all control. I couldn't stop myself it was like my body went into overdrive. I've never lost control around girls before she's the first and it scares me.
"(Bailey) Someone's losing control aren't we now."
"(Greyson) Shut up."
"(Bailey) Fine whatever."
She was right but me being me would never admit that. It would harm my ego and I'm not prepared to give her what she wants. I lost it completely because by now I took off her shoes, socks, shirt, jeans. I was also bare-chested she's demanding let me tell you that she doesn't wait for anybody.
Things got more heated. If I didn't stop soon things wouldn't end well. We'll both be breathless.......you get where this is going. I couldn't help, my hands wandered to her bra strap. Damn Greyson wake up you're delusional. She's going to take everything you ever worked for.
"(Greyson) Your bad news."
"(Bailey) No, you are I'm not the on undoing a bra strap."
"(Greyson) I'll stop."
"(Bailey) Why stop now you've come so far."
"(Greyson) Don't."
"(Bailey) Don't what?"
"(Greyson) Don't dare me you'll be sorry."
"(Bailey) Uh no doubt it."
"(Greyson) Is that a challenge?"
"(Bailey) Well, is this what's going on, are we competing?"
"(Greyson) Warned you, you'll have to pay the conscious for your actions."
What she said next shocked me, I would never have imagined it.
"(Bailey) I'm not scared of a little fire, bring it on."
"(Greyson) You’re going to regret this but I warned you and you wouldn't listen."
I thought about my decision for a moment. Could I really do this? She seems so innocent. Wouldn't I feel guilty? Damn you Greyson when have you ever felt pity for a girl. She clearly wants to do this and she's clearly asking you. But I can't, no scratch that I can. I've done this before what's different about this, nothing.
"(Greyson) You sure about this?"
"(Bailey) I'm not the one that's losing control."
"(Greyson) What does that matter?"
"(Bailey) Just saying, seems your scared."
We went on kissing and that was it I was done for. She thought I was scared I'll show her I'm not I've never been scared of a little fun.
What was happening to me? I've never been this rational, ever. She was asleep but I couldn't sleep. My conscience was killing me, I felt guilty. I didn't have to but I did. She's so innocent maybe she's right maybe I use girls as possessions. No, she was right I've always miss treated them. I fell asleep after a while.
5:
What happened, happened and he feels guilty I know it. I'm good at reading people. You know what's the cold hard reality that it doesn't mean anything to him. I'm just another girl to him.
I got up and went to the lounge. I put the TV on, I heard him coming down the hall.
"(Greyson) We have to talk, may I sit?"
"(Bailey) Sure, go ahead."
He sat down and turned to me so I did the same. We were now facing one another. He put his hands on my legs and leaned in kissing my neck, he moved his hands to my waist.
"(Bailey) Thought we needed to talk."
"(Greyson) Later."
"(Bailey) No now, I'm not going with you to New York, am I?"
"(Greyson) You have to."
"(Bailey) Why, why can't you let me go?"
"(Greyson) It's not that easy."
"(Bailey) It is just set me free."
"(Greyson) You know too much I'm sorry."
"(Bailey) What about my boyfriend, friends, and family they must be worried."
"(Greyson) Not my problem you are going with us, end of the story."
"(Bailey) And if I refuse?"
"(Greyson) Coffee?"
"(Bailey) Don't change the topic."
"(Greyson) I'll take that as a yes."
He got up and brought us coffee. I drank mine and kept quiet. After I finished it, I got dressed and went back to the lounge. He was still there looking at me. I started feeling numb, I was about to fall over when he caught me.
"(Bailey) You drugged my coffee, how could you?"
"(Greyson) I'm sorry love, you gave me no choice."
"(Bailey) How, how could you?"
I was out cold, what happened in between me being out and me waking up was blank. I slept for 4 hours straight. When I woke up eventually my body was aching.
"(Bailey) What's wrong with you?"
"(Greyson) You wouldn't come even if I asked you nicely."
"(Bailey) If you asked me...."
"(Greyson) Shut up love, left here."
"(Bailey) Don't tell me to shut up!"
"(Greyson) Do me a favor please roll up the window."
"(Limo driver) Sure thing boss."
"(Greyson) Thank you."
"(Greyson) You have to learn to keep your pretty little mouth shut!"
"(Bailey) I don't listen to anyone else what makes you think I'll listen to you."
"(Greyson) I've had enough of you for one day."
"(Bailey) What are you looking for?
"(Greyson) Shit Jace never put it in."
"(Bailey) Didn't put what in."
"(Greyson) Shut up."
"(Bailey) Make me."
"(Greyson) No last night was bad enough!"
"(Bailey) Oh, I'm sorry mister I lose control to quickly!"
He turned to me and gave me a cold glare. Next thing we knew he towered over me, holding my hands above my head. I could feel his warm breath fanning my face.
"(Greyson) Don't ever do that again it's dangerous."
"(Bailey) I'll do what I want to, understood."
"(Greyson) That's it, final straw, you're on thin ice love."
He put emphasize one the thin. Like I didn't hear him. Did he think I was stupid? Where are we going in anyway?
"(Bailey) Can you let go of me."
"(Greyson) I'll do it when I decide to."
"(Bailey) Where are we going?"
"(Greyson) You ask too many questions."
"(Bailey) I have to."
"(Greyson) Why?"
"(Bailey) Who's asking questions now."
"(Greyson) Don't turn this around on me, why do you care where we are heading?"
"(Bailey) Because I would like to know where I am. Have to let everyone know where they can find my body when I end up dead."
"(Greyson) Who said you were going to die."
"(Bailey) Nobody just saying."
"(Greyson) Do me a favor and shut up."
"(Bailey) Stop telling me to shut up!"
"(Greyson) Sorry love you gave me no choice."
He took out the duck, tape and tore a piece off.
"(Greyson) No use fighting me love I'll win anyway."
"(Bailey) You're not sticking my mouth shut."
"(Greyson) Don't have a choice."
"(Bailey) I'll keep quiet if you tell me where we're going."
"(Greyson) No can do now sit still."
"(Bailey) No, you will not."
This was my chance, I knocked him out cold with a wheel spanner. The limo came to a stop and I got out. I ran for my life as fast as I could. I eventually reached a garage and asked for a phone.
"(Bailey) Can someone please give me a phone I need it."
"(Girl) Sure you can use mine."
"(Bailey) Thanks, I won't belong. Oh, and if anyone comes looking for me you didn't see me."
"(Girl) Why? Everything okay."
"(Bailey) Yeah, just some crazy ex, no biggie."
"(Girl) Are you sure everything is okay."
"(Bailey) 100%."
I tried phoning my boyfriend but as usual, he didn't answer. I was in a mid-life crisis it was a situation of life and death. I tried him once more but her airtime ran out, just my luck.
I gave back her phone and continued walking. I wasn't sure where I was going but I had to end up somewhere. A couple of miles down the road I stopped at a bar and I saw the news was on. I wanted to watch maybe they were looking for me.
"(Reporter) The masked men strike again and take yet another innocent victim. 18-year-old Bailey Watson was taken during a bank robbery. Police have been looking for the four masked men for 5 Years now. However, these men seem to leave no trace behind. We took some time to speak to the victim's mother."
Mother, why did I keep thinking they would mention about talking to my boyfriend.
"(Bailey’s mom) Please if you see my daughter anywhere contact the local police department. It's important please I just want my baby back. I'll even give a $5000 reward. Thank you."
Greyson's pov
I woke up with a hell of a headache and alone in the car. I got out and went inside to my room. Olive always had a place for us and she always welcomed us.
"(Olive) Cray you've arrived."
"(Greyson) Olive, where are the boys?"
"(Olive) No hug or kiss for me Cray. You make me sad."
"(Greyson) Olive this is important where are the boys?"
"(Olive) In the study."
"(Greyson) Thank you."
"(Olive) Why are you looking for them?"
"(Greyson) Nobody of your business."
"(Olive) Come on Cray your business is mine it's always been like that."
"(Greyson) Olive take your hands off me I'm in a hurry."
"(Olive) Cray....come on 30 minutes won't matter."
"(Greyson) It will get out of my way."
I walked off to the study in a rush. I had to find the boys most importantly I had to find her. She could be halfway to the cops by now.
"(Greyson) Boys we got a problem."
"(Michael) Where is Bailey?"
"(Greyson) That's the problem, Jace for fuck, sake get off your phone and get me a headache tablet!"
"(Jace) Fuck you Greyson, why do you have a headache anyway?"
"(Greyson) Because Bailey used a wheel spanner to knock me out, what else?"
"(Jace) Just asking no need to be rube. So, you're telling us she escaped."
"(Greyson) No shit sherlock, you don't perhaps see her around here."
"(Alec)We have to find her the first place she'll go to is the feds and we've come too far to have the feds catch us. She'll rat us out, she knows where we are."
"(Greyson) Well get on it."
"(Alec) Why aren't you helping?"
"(Greyson) I'll check the...."
"(Olive) Cray can you hear me. Go do what you have to do I'll stay here and look after him."
I was out cold, I heard Olive talking. After what felt like hours I woke up. The boys haven't returned yet with any news. Where was she? That was all I could think of, what if she rats us out? Would she even consider that, wouldn't she be too scared of us?
I got up and took Olive's hand in mine. I could see she was conflicted but she knew exactly what I was about to do, she always does. I had to make up for my bad behavior earlier.
Just like that I picked her up and went to my room. Must say she always gave me special attention.
"(Olive) It's been too long Cray."
"(Greyson) What does it matter to you?"
"(Olive) I've missed you, Cray."
"(Greyson) Don't have to tell me your body language gives off more than you can tell."
"(Olive) I see, do me a favor be gentle on me won't want Mason finding out."
"(Greyson) You have a boyfriend?"
"(Olive) Yes, but it doesn't matter."
"(Greyson) I'm going for a walk and then I'm taking a nap."
"(Olive) What's wrong?"
"(Greyson) We can't do this I won't allow it."
"(Olive) Come on Cray please I beg of you."
"(Greyson) No Olive, if you can excuse me, I must take a long walk."
I took a long walk. Things have been crazy lately and it's all because of Bailey. She's going to be our downfall.
6:
I got far but I had to stop at a hotel. I didn't know what I was expecting I didn't have any money so they wouldn't let me in. Maybe it's better to go back. No, it's not you idiot you tried to escape so if you go back, you'll surely end up dead but if you don't you won't have any place to sleep. Either way you'll end up dead.
I just had to find a tap I was so thirsty, oh and I was hungry as well. I was about to brave it to go in when I saw the guys, roll-up. I darted for the back of the hotel. There was no way I was going back with them. Not today I'm going home how I don't know but I'll think of something.
The car passed and I felt relieved. I got a fright when I heard the back door go open.
"(Random guy) Hey what are you doing here?"
"(Bailey) Oh, I'm sorry I was hiding from a crazy ex, don't worry I'll be on my way."
"(Guy) No wait you look tired. How long have you been running?"
"(Bailey) For almost a day."
"(Guy) Come inside, I'll speak to my boss. You can stay here for the night."
"(Bailey) Thank you so much."
"(Guy) Where are you heading to?"
"(Bailey) I'm on my way to Los Angeles."
"(Guy) How are you going to get there I mean you’re in New York."
"(Bailey) Well aware of that, to be honest, I don't know, it's not like I have any money on me."
"(Guy) That's a tough one."
"(Bailey) Yeah, but I'll figure it out don't worry."
"(Guy) If you say so."
He accompanied me inside and I got something to drink and eat. Thereafter I went up to my room that they, of course, gave me for the night. I needed the rest, today was exhausting. I closed the door behind me and went to lay down on the bed. My eyes felt so heavy and I drifted off.
Greyson's pov
I saw the boys roll up and went to them. Hopefully, they've got some good news. The last thing I need is them telling me she's left the country or went to the feds.
"(Michael) The study, can't talk out here."
"(Greyson) Why not Michael?"
"(Michael) Because not, walls have ears."
"(Greyson) If you say so."
We went inside to the study and closed the door. They better have good news otherwise I'll lose it.
"(Greyson Tell me you have good news, otherwise don't bother."
"(Alec)I wish we had."
"(Greyson) What don't you understand. I said if you don't have good news don't bother (hitting hands on the table.)"
"(Michael) We searched the hotel first and then any other place possible that we thought she would be at."
"(Jace) Where are you going?"
"(Greyson) To do the job myself."
"(Jace) We told you she's nowhere to be found."
"(Greyson) She can't just disappear from the face of the earth, Jace!"
"(Michael) Your so quick to shout at us but what were you doing to find her?"
"(Alec) He's right Greyson."
"(Greyson) I was passed out because I got knocked out!"
"(Michael) Who was the one that lost her in the first place?"
"(Alec) Who ordered us to grab her in the first place?"
"(Jace) Both of those were you Greyson. You ordered us to grab her and you let her escape."
"(Greyson) What does that matter?!"
"(Alec) It does because you started this whole dilemma!"
"(Michael) If anyone has to find her it's you!"
I walked out and grabbed my coat. I was going to find her if it's the last thing I do. I was looking for the limo driver but I couldn't find him.
"(Olive) It's no use, you won't find him I gave him off for the night."
"(Greyson) Why would you do that if you knew we might need him?"
"(Olive) For this exact reason, so that you can't run after whatever and do something stupid."
"(Greyson) For crying out loud Olive you clearly don't know me."
"(Olive) It's because I know you, that I did what I did."
"(Greyson) Oh really, you think you know me."
"(Olive) Yes, I do I've been doing business with you for 5 years now."
"(Greyson) You see that's where your wrong, I've been doing business with Liam for 5 years, not you. If you’re going to sound smart at least get your facts right."
"(Olive) Screw you Greyson."
"(Greyson) Wouldn't you like that now."
"(Olive) Don't test me!"
"(Greyson) Come on don't act all innocent, we both know you aren't."
"(Olive) I'm more innocent than you. Unlike you, I don't go around shooting and killing innocent people."
"(Greyson) Oh, you forgot kidnapping."
"(Olive) Whatever I'm going to bed, you should too."
"(Greyson) Sure."
I left and got in the shower. After showering I went to bed. I couldn't sleep though. She was out there, who knows where. She was in a foreign country, she couldn't have gotten far, could she?
I mean how far can one go if you don't know a place. I'm sure I had nothing to worry about but what worried me was that she was out there free to do as she pleases. I was about to go to sleep when Michael came in.
"(Michael) What about a tracking device."
"(Greyson) For?"
"(Michael) When we find her, we attach a tracking device to her. That way if she escapes again, we can find her easily."
"(Greyson) Sounds promising but where are we going to find one?"
"(Michael) Simple we don't find it we have our mechanical engineering crew build one."
"(Greyson) And how long will that take for them to build?"
"(Michael) About 2 weeks 3 on the latest."
"(Greyson) I see but before it's finished, she can still get away but I'll think about it and tell you."
"(Michael) Great. Say want to join us for movies?"
"(Greyson) No, I want to go to sleep I have to be up early tomorrow morning to go and find her before she reaches the airport and takes off."
"(Michael) Not that she can, she's got no money for a ticket and no passport."
"(Greyson) Doesn't matter she's smart she'll find a way."
"(Michael) Mind you."
"(Greyson) Oh, and we have to get her a different look. Every police department is looking for her right about now. Not even to mention us. Not that they would find us."
"(Michael) Unless she rats us out."
"(Greyson) Mind you that's also true. Well, see you tomorrow morning."
"(Michael) Yeah."
He left, I closed my eyes and drifted off.
7:
I woke up to room service knocking on my door. It was seven in the morning for crying out loud.
"(Random guy) Morning, did you sleep well?"
"(Bailey) Yes just not enough and you?"
"(Guy) Oh, I slept well, why didn't you sleep enough?"
"(Bailey) I was worried my ex would be looking for me."
"(Guy) I see, well your safe here."
"(Bailey) Yeah, but I can't stay any longer I have to leave soon remember."
"(Guy) Oh yes that's true, I can arrange for another night if you wish."
"(Bailey) Oh no I have to find a way to make cash so that I can go back home."
"(Guy) You can work here for a day I'll arrange with my boss."
"(Bailey) Won't he mind?"
"(Guy) No not at all, I'll explain your situation to him. He'll understand."
"(Bailey) Okay great thanks I'll need it if I want to go home."
"(Guy) Well enjoy your breakfast."
"(Bailey) Can you do me one more favor?"
"(Guy) Yes, anything just name, it."
"(Bailey) Can you maybe arrange for me for some fresh clothes?"
"(Guy) Yeah, I'll ask Mindy she's got a boutique just down the road from here."
"(Bailey) Great, you'll let me know right."
"(Guy) Yeah no prob."
"(Bailey) Thanks."
He left and I finished up. Once I was done, I went downstairs and they showed me to Mindy's boutique.
"(Bailey) I'll take this."
"(Mindy) Oh no love, take some more."
"(Bailey) Oh, that won't be necessary."
"(Mindy) Take some more I insist."
At the end I had a week worth of clothes. I made my way back to the hotel and they gave me a uniform. I put it on and asked for some makeup. If I was going home, I was surely going to have to make sure no one recognizes me.
I must admit I wasn't fond of my outfit. Not that I could say much a job was a job. I never pictured myself in a black one piece, why? Simple because it revealed too much. It was a body fit suite. My body wasn't the problem, I had a nice figure it was just that I didn't feel comfortable working in a bar.
If my mother had to see me now, she'd be so disappointed. All he life she'd always tell me to work hard because she didn't want me to work in a bar like she did. In this case I'd rather disappoint her then stay here. I'm doing this to go back to her, to go back home.
I went out and in to the bar. This was it this was a matter of now or never. I had no choice I could feel all eyes on me as I entered the room. All I could think was, "You’re going to fight of a lot of drunk men but your strong you'll survive."
A lady behind the bar explained the drill and what to do when men get out of control. At first, I was a bit slow but when I got the hang of it I worked faster. The lady got irritated with me because no one wanted her service they all asked for me. My shift had me up.
We had a lunch break before returning. I was already sick and tired of this shift. She started fighting with me. Honestly, I didn't have energy for this. She didn't want me there and trust me I didn't want to be there longer than I had to.
This was only part time. It wasn't like I was going to take her damn job. I was only doing this to make enough money to go back home.
"(Girl) Don't think you can waltz in here and take my job. I've been here for 7 years. What I have forgotten you have to still learn."
"(Bailey) I never wanted your job. I'm only working today to make money so that I can go home."
"(Girl) That's if you get any."
"(Bailey) I know I will, don't worry I'll be out of your way in no time."
"(Girl) Good."
I got up and stormed inside. I don't have time for people like that. She acts like she owns the place. I was about to go back to the bar when they asked me to work with the entertainment crew. Hopefully they would be nicer towards me because the next person being nasty to me will get a piece of my mind.
"(Girl 2) Hey did they send you to stand in?"
"(Bailey) Yeah, I guess so."
"(Girl 2) Good you can come in dear no need to be afraid."
"(Bailey) Okay."
"(Girl 2) You can go get an outfit in the back makeup is over there if you want to touch up."
"(Bailey) Thanks."
"(Girl 2) No problem dear."
At least someone knows the meaning of respect. Unlike that lady behind the bar. I finished up and we went on stage. I was expecting to be in the backline because I was new but no, they let me take the lead. I've always loved dancing and singing. My voice wasn't the best neither was my dancing but it also wasn't the worst.
We were up there for 30 minutes before leaving the stage.
"(Girl 2) Wow girl why aren't you a dancer or singer?"
"(Bailey) I don't know maybe because I never thought of myself being that good."
"(Girl 2) You were amazing out there you should consider it."
"(Bailey) Thank you I guess I will."
"(Girl 2) Oh, they told me that they need you back in the bar but before you go here is your payment."
"(Bailey) $1400, isn't that too much?"
"(Girl 2) No, it's our normal rate per half an hour."
"(Bailey) Wow that sure is a lot of cash."
"(Girl 2) If you say so."
"(Bailey) Anyway, thanks for the cash I best leave now."
I left and went back to the bar. It was much busier than earlier. I was serving some other people when I tall guy approached me. He looked super scary I didn't want to serve him but I had no choice. I was being paid to do a job and besides I needed the money. That was my getaway ticket.
One beer please was all he needed to say to make me freeze. It was Greyson I knew that voice all too well. I didn't look up once, how could I he'd probably know it's me.
"(Greyson) One beer please."
"(Bailey) No problem sir."
"(Greyson) Do me a favor and look up, won't you?"
"(Bailey) Why? I'm not exactly allowed to show my face to customers."
"(Greyson) Nonsense, why hide such a pretty face."
"(Bailey) Why not?"
"(Greyson) Come on no girl could ever resist me."
"(Bailey) Well seems to me you've never been rejected."
"(Greyson) Nope not once, so don't be mean and make it the first."
"(Bailey) And if I wish to?"
"(Greyson) Well, that would be a shame now wouldn't it."
"(Bailey) You should learn to deal with rejection."
"(Greyson) I don't want to. I mean look at me the ladies fight."
"(Bailey) Seems your ego is too big, here's your beer."
"(Greyson) Thank you love."
"(Bailey) It's a pleasure and do me a favor don't call me love again."
"(Greyson) You know you remind me of someone. She can't seem to keep her mouth shut."
"(Bailey) It's good she speaks her mind I have to get something so if you can excuse me."
"(Guy from room service) Hey where you off to?"
"(Bailey) I'll be right back I forgot something in my room."
"(Room service guy) Oh okay. One more thing I never got your name."
"(Bailey) It's Lily."
I ran up to my room, locked the door behind me and gathered all my things. As soon as my shift ended, I'd be out of here. After getting my things together I went back to the bar. I finished my shift.
"(Guy) Here's your money for the day."
"(Bailey) $5000 wow thanks. I guess I have to give you the tips."
"(Guy) No keep it, you deserve it after your hard work."
After getting all the money I counted it I had a total of $7400. The $1400 from the entertainment, $5000 from the bar and $1000 from my tips. I didn't do too badly for one that's never worked in the bar.
Once I finished up with the money I got dressed into my casual clothes and put the money away in a hidden pocket I found in my jeans jacket. No one was going to rob me I worked hard for that money. I went to my room to fetch my things.
"(Greyson) Glad you decided to pitch up now let me see that pretty face of yours."
"(Bailey) How did you find my room."
"(Greyson) I followed you love."
"(Bailey) I told you not to call me love."
"(Greyson) Fusty aren't we now."
"(Bailey) Look what do you want?"
He stepped closer. I can't have him find out it's me otherwise he'll take me with him and all my hard work will be for nothing.
"(Greyson) It's not polite to make a man wait you know."
"(Bailey) I'm not making you wait because I'm not showing you may face. I told you I can't show you my face, I'm not allowed your, a customer."
Great excuse Bailey. You couldn't think of anything better.
"(Greyson) Come now I won't give up and I promise not to tell."
"(Bailey) No, you have to leave!"
This was it I wasn't going home because in a blink of an eye he flicked my chin up with his index finger.
"(Greyson) Why hello Bailey. Wasn't nice of you to knock me out, neither was it to escape or to lie to me."
"(Bailey) My name is not Bailey it's Lily."
"(Greyson) Come now love don't try to bullshit me I know it's you."
"(Bailey) Prove it!"
"(Greyson) Your lips are pink, soft and welcoming. Your body is to die for I'd know that better than anyone. Those eyes make one drown and your mouth won't learn to shut up."
"(Bailey) Sounds like you have the wrong girl."
"(Greyson) No, I'm sure I have the right one. Don't make this more difficult. You decide either you come with me willingly or I'll just have to inject you with sedative, your choice."
"(Bailey) You can't make me."
"(Greyson) You give me no choice."
I wanted to run but fell over a piece of carpet. Making me trip, I hit my head and just like that I was out cold. Great Bailey you’re not going home soon. If you live to see another day, you'll be lucky.
8:
"(Bailey) Get your filthy hands off me."
"(Greyson) That's not what you said the other night."
"(Bailey) Shut up. Where am I?"
"(Greyson) At Olive and Liam's cabin in New York. Almost forgot only I get to tell people to shut up you don't have that right"
"(Bailey) Well aware of us being in New York. Says who?"
"(Greyson) Then why did you ask where you were? Says I."
"(Bailey) I asked because I woke up in so strange looking room. Keep dreaming"
"(Greyson) If you ever try and escape, I won't hesitate to kill you. You're becoming too much of a problem."
"(Bailey) I'm becoming a problem please, if you didn't kidnap me, we wouldn't be in this situation right now. So technically you're to blame."
"(Greyson) If you say so."
"(Bailey) You’re not even going to argue, what a coward."
"(Greyson) Hey I'm not a coward, I don't have to fight with you. Call me a coward once more and I won't hesitate! You’re testing my limits"
"(Bailey) Why so angry? Someone clearly doesn't have any humor."
"(Greyson) Hold still."
"(Bailey) Why?"
"(Greyson) Your injured."
"(Bailey) I can take after myself I don't need you to play the caring medic."
"(Greyson) I'm trying to be nice."
"(Bailey) Well, you sure have a funny way of showing it."
"(Greyson) I'm still learning okay. I'm a criminal being nice doesn't exactly suit me."
"(Bailey) Just leave me alone okay."
"(Greyson) Fine don't say I didn't help."
I attended to my injury before taking a shower. I'm so happy to see that he at least took my clothes from the room. So, I showered and got dressed, while I was at it, I took the time to check that hidden pocket of my jacket. Lucky for me the money was still there. I couldn't let them find the money.
I was going to escape and this was my ticket to getting home. After dressing I went and sat in the lounge. I turned on the TV mainly because I wanted to check the news.
"(Greyson) You should stop checking the news every day."
"(Bailey) And why is that Greyson?"
"(Greyson) Because you know they're looking for you why bother checking for updates."
"(Bailey) Because."
"(Greyson) Because why?"
"(Bailey crying) Because I want to know if my boyfriend still bothers looking for me!"
"(Greyson) Why are you crying about someone that doesn't care?"
"(Bailey) Because unlike you I love him."
"(Greyson) Unlike me."
"(Bailey) Yes, Greyson unlike you, you use girls. Name one you loved."
"(Greyson) ........"
"(Bailey) You just proved my point.
"(Greyson) You’re going to have to learn to shut your mouth."
"(Bailey) I won't!"
"(Greyson) You’re testing my limits little girl!"
"(Bailey) I'm not little!"
He walked around the couch and bend down. He had his hands beside my legs. I was intimidated but not completely.
"(Greyson) Now you listen to me and you listen to me carefully."
"(Bailey) Why should I?"
"(Greyson) When I, say something you don't try and have a smart comment because you might think you sound smart but you don't."
"(Bailey) Whatever."
"(Greyson) Just remember your smart comments can be the death of you."
"(Bailey) Get out of my face, for crying out loud."
"(Olive) Cray who's that?"
"(Greyson) Olive meet my hostage, Bailey."
"(Olive) Nice to meet you, hostage, huh?"
"(Greyson) Yeah, whatever."
"(Olive) She's a fusty one."
"(Greyson) It's just her mouth that can't shut up."
"(Olive) I see."
"(Bailey) Look you can have a moment later, we need to talk Greyson."
"(Olive) Sure."
"(Bailey) No privately please."
"(Olive) Fine."
He moved and I got up. We went to the room to talk. Maybe not the best option but here we wouldn't be disturbed. I was going to ask him for one phone call. I needed to make one, I had to. And I need to know what they plan on doing with me.
"(Greyson) What do you want."
"(Bailey) I need one phone call, one please."
"(Grayson) No can do."
"(Bailey) Why not?"
"(Greyson) Because you'll probably call the feds."
"(Bailey) Was planning on phoning my mother you know to let her know I'm okay."
"(Greyson) Sorry love I can't."
"(Bailey) If you have any humanity left in you, you'll give me a phone call."
"(Greyson) I said no!"
"(Bailey) Your such an asshole."
"(Greyson) I'm such a what, say that again."
He had a furious look in his eyes. It scared me, mainly because I didn't know what he was intending on doing. He could kill me for all I know.
"(Bailey) No, you should learn to listen."
"(Greyson) You know what no matter how much I threaten you, you just don't seem to care. Maybe it's time to learn you a lesson."
"(Bailey) Go ahead, kill me if you must. It'll be much better than staying hostage with you for the rest of my life."
He took his phone out, why? What was he possibly going to do with a phone?
"(Greyson) I have to go and see Liam but first I'm taking care of you."
"(Bailey) Is this the part where you kill me and end my misery?"
"(Greyson) Oh, love I'm not going to kill you, your worth too much at the moment. Remember your, the only thing keeping the feds from striking."
"(Bailey) What do you mean?"
"(Greyson) Well, we informed them at the bank that if they come looking for you or try anything you'll end up dead."
"(Bailey) What does it matter, either way, I'll die."
"(Greyson) Oh no, no, you'll live for as long as I need you and if that's a lifetime then so be it."
Who does he think he is? I don't want to spend a lifetime with him or his gang. I'll never marry, finish my studies you get the picture.
"(Bailey) What do you plan on doing with me?"
"(Greyson) You'll see, come I can't waste more time. Liam's waiting and love you never keep Liam waiting."
He took me by the arm lead me downstairs. We reached a room. I don't think so, you're not locking me in there. I wasn't going to stay in there in the dark.
"(Greyson) Don't make this more difficult than it has to be."
"(Bailey) I'm not going in there."
"(Greyson) You don't have a choice."
"(Bailey) I do and you're not locking me in a dark room."
"(Greyson) I'm sorry but you give me no choice, can't have you escaping again. Last time was to close."
"(Bailey) If you treated me better, I might work with you and not against you."
"(Greyson) You get better treatment than most hostages so stop moaning."
He wanted to push me in the room but I put up a fight. I lost of course because he injected me. I felt numb right away.
"(Bailey) Why?"
"(Greyson) Because you give me no choice. Told you not to work against me I always win."
"(Bailey) You asshole."
"(Greyson) Sleep, tight love."
I was out cold.
9:
Greyson's pov
I had to go and see Liam. It was important we had unfinished business what did she expect, that I was going to trust her after she pulled her little stunt. Sorry love but no one messes with me without being punished.
As soon as I locked her up, I went to the limo. I told the boys to meet me at Liam's mansion.
"(Limo driver) Where to sir?"
"(Greyson) Liam's mansion please."
"(Driver) As you wish."
As I was sitting there, I remembered how she knocked me out with a wheel spanner she's smart I'll give her that. The drive felt like it would never stop. I saw it just down the road, man I haven't been here in so long. It feels like a lifetime.
"(Liam) Greyson my brother it's been too long since we last spoke."
"(Greyson) It has, hasn't it?"
"(Liam) It's good to see you, how's the business doing."
"(Greyson) It's doing good except for the bump we hit recently."
"(Liam) And that is, if I may ask?"
"(Greyson) We robbed a bank in Los Angeles and had to take a hostage."
"(Liam) Why did you do that, do you know how dangerous that is?"
"(Greyson) Because I had no choice if I didn't take her the feds would have got us. I know and that's why I decided to not let her go because of the fact that she knows too much."
"(Liam) That's good, I'm glad you made that wise decision because everything you've ever worked for could be taken if she runs to the feds."
"(Greyson) Point is she won't, she's locked up."
"(Liam) That's no way to treat a lady."
"(Greyson) I've got a good reason for doing that."
"(Liam) And that is?"
"(Greyson) A few days ago, when we just arrived here in New York. She knocked me out and got away. I managed to find her at a local hotel."
"(Liam) You could be glad you found her that could have been fatal."
"(Greyson) I couldn't agree more say you said we had unfinished business."
"(Liam) Yes, we do that drug deal gone wrong. Not only am I short of men now, but it's also a chance for the feds to find me."
"(Greyson) So, what are we supposed to do?"
"(Liam) I need you to rig the place with C4 explosives."
"(Greyson) So, if I get this straight you want us to blow up the evidence from the deal that went down badly."
"(Liam) Yes that's of course if you want to do it, otherwise I'll have to get other men for the job."
"(Greyson) No, it's fine we'll do it."
"(Liam) That's what I like to hear. I'll pay the usual. Make sure it's done by tomorrow."
"(Greyson) Sure, no problem, was that all?"
"(Liam) No there's this drug deal going down tonight, I'm attending but I need security since some of my men got killed."
"(Greyson) You sure this isn't going to go down bad."
"(Liam) I'm positive, now can you do the job or not?"
"(Greyson) Yeah sure."
"(Liam) I'll pay you for this job as well as the other as soon as you're finished. You have my word."
"(Greyson) Oh, please I don't need it I've been doing business with you for 5 years now and I trust you'll keep to your word just don't disappoint me."
"(Liam) I won't, don't worry."
"(Greyson) Right, I'll get the boys and we'll get to work right away."
"(Liam) That's what I like to hear. Report back to me once you're done."
"(Greyson) Will do."
I left and got the boys from the lounge.
"We have to go home and get explosives."
"(Jace) Why?"
"(Greyson) Because that deal gone wrong is easy access for the feds to find us."
"(Alec) Are you serious?"
"(Greyson) No Alec I'm joking, of course, I'm serious."
"(Michael) We better go then before they start sniffing around."
"(Jace) He's right we've come too far to be caught now."
"(Greyson) Oh, and tonight we have to be Liam's bodyguard. He's doing a deal and if shit goes down, we're the best at handling it."
We all got in the limo and went home. The boys grabbed the explosives and I had to check on Bailey. I couldn't leave her in that closest until tonight she'll never survive. I never told Olive she was in there so she didn't have any food or water all day.
I had to take some with me there wasn't time for her to eat and drink right now we had a job to do. I unlocked the door and there she laid motionless. Obviously, the drug hasn't started working out yet, I mean if it did, she would be awake now.
"(Greyson) You can be lucky I'm letting you out earlier than I anticipated."
She was so light. It felt like I was carrying a feather.
"(Michael) She's not coming with, is she?"
"(Greyson) She has to I can't leave her with Olive she'll have her escape. Do me a favor instead of asking questions handcuff her."
"(Michael) She'll still have the opportunity to escape."
"(Greyson) No, she won't because you're handcuffing her to something, anything inside the car."
"(Michael) I see, you have the keys?"
"(Greyson) Yes, but I'm not leaving them in the car."
"(Michael) Good call. Done."
"(Greyson) Thank you. It's showtime boys."
We got out and got to work. The sooner this is over with the better. We were nearly done when I heard some motion downstairs. I doubt the boys heard it but I made sure to tell them to hurry up.
"(Greyson) Hurry up we have a lot to do before tonight."
We finished and exit the building safely. We were about 2 blocks away when I detonated the bombs. That place was history and so were their leads on us. Sorry boys, not today. I wasn't bound to rot in jail just yet.
Back at home, I laid Bailey down on the couch. How long can one sleep, it began to worry me. Then I remembered me and Michael's chat from the other night about the tracking device. She was fast asleep so this was the perfect opportunity.
"(Greyson) Michael is there a tracking device that's finished?"
"(Michael) I'll check."
"(Greyson) Hurry I'm not sure when she'll wake up."
"(Michael) Here's one."
"(Greyson) And you’re sure it works?"
"(Michael) Yeah, they tested it on a robot they built."
"(Greyson) Good how do we attach it to her?"
"(Michael) Simple we insert it in this special gun and bam when you pull the trigger it will be inserted directly under her skin. It's also invisible so she won't see it."
"(Greyson) Good."
We inserted the tracking chip. As soon as we finished, she woke up, call that timing. At six we all went to Liam's place.
"(Bailey) Where are we going?"
"(Greyson) On a mission."
"(Bailey) And I'm going with why?"
"(Greyson) Because I can't trust you."
"(Bailey) This is still about that escape attempt, isn't it?"
"(Greyson) Yes, it is, what you got a problem?"
"(Bailey) Yes, a big one because you keep throwing my mistake in my face, you've already punished me enough haven't you."
"(Greyson) I'll stop punishing you when I feel it's enough, you got me!"
We arrived at Liam's and this was it. We were playing bodyguard.
"(Liam) You boys ready?"
"(Greyson) You know we come prepared."
"(Liam) And who is this fine young lady?"
"(Greyson) This is..."
"(Bailey) I can speak for myself thank you. I'm Bailey and I presume your Liam."
"(Liam) Well yes, I am."
"(Bailey) You know you remind me of Olive."
"(Liam) That's because Olive is my sister."
"(Bailey) I see."
"(Greyson) Shall we go boys?"
It was a 40-minute drive that felt like it was never going to end. We arrived and the boys got out with Liam. I couldn't because I first had to take care of her. I handcuffed her and duck, taped her mouth. I didn't want her getting herself killed.
I made my way over to the boys. The deal took place and some idiot thought he was smart and got himself killed. As he fell, he shot me but none of the boys saw. We went home and I attended my wound. I was busy doing so when she came in.
"(Bailey) Oh, I'm sorry am I disturbing you?"
"(Greyson) No, it's fine I was just busy."
"(Bailey) Your hurt goodness gracious Greyson."
"(Greyson) What do you think you're doing?"
"(Bailey) What does it look like, I'm helping you."
"(Greyson) I don't need your help!"
"(Bailey) Stop being stubborn and let me help for crying out loud."
"(Greyson) I can take care of myself."
"(Bailey) Clearly not you didn't even clean it properly, you know that can lead to infection."
"(Greyson) I've always taken care of myself I don't need you to take over miss smarty pants."
"(Bailey) Don't ever call me miss smarty pants!"
"(Greyson) Whatever you’re not my boss."
"(Bailey) You’re not mine either but yet you act like my boss."
"(Greyson) That's different!"
"(Bailey) How's that different! There all done."
She finished up and our fight turned into me kissing her. It was about to get out of control when I stopped it.
"(Greyson) I think it's best if you sleep in the room next door."
"(Bailey) Fine."
She left and I went to bed.
10:
I was woken up by Greyson barging into my room.
"(Greyson) Get up and get dressed."
"(Bailey) Why?"
"(Greyson) Because we have to go."
"(Bailey) Where?"
"(Greyson) Can you stopping asking questions and get dressed instead."
"(Bailey) No."
"(Greyson) How dare you disobey an order!"
"(Bailey) I'm not a slave you can order around as you please!"
"(Greyson) Never said you were."
"(Bailey) Then stop treating me like one."
"(Greyson) Fine, I'll stop talking to you, happy."
"(Bailey) So, because your wrong you want to get offensive!"
"(Greyson) No, if your wish is for me to not speak to you then I won't!"
"(Bailey) I never said that I said to stop treating me like a slave there's a difference!"
He was close to me dangerously close. I could feel his warm minty breath fanning my face. I didn't like this but he found it all too amusing.
"(Greyson) You need to learn to keep quiet and do what's asked of you!"
"(Bailey) There we go again with the commands do you ever stop ordering people around?"
"(Greyson) No, I won't ever stop because that gives people time to walk over me. I've had enough of people underestimating me my whole life!"
"(Bailey) Well, I'm sorry that your life was such a mess but treating others like robots, slaves or shit doesn't make up for it either."
I got up and grabbed my clothes but he took them from me and stepped even closer closing the gap between us.
"(Greyson) You're not going anywhere."
"(Bailey) Why? You just said I have to get dressed."
"(Greyson) Well, I'm not done with you yet."
"(Bailey) And I don't care, I'm going to get dressed like I was demanded to just a minute ago, so my clothes please?"
"(Greyson) I refuse to give them to you."
"(Bailey) Why?"
"(Greyson) You ask too many questions."
"(Bailey) I do? Never noticed."
"(Greyson) There you're doing it again."
"(Bailey) No, I'm not."
"(Greyson) Yes, you are, keep quiet."
"(Bailey) W."
"(Greyson) Shhh."
He leaned in and kissed my neck gently. I wanted to stop him but I had to play along if I ever wanted to go home. This was my chance, if I could get to his heart, he'd do anything I say. He wouldn't be able to say no because he'll be too deeply in love.
"(Bailey) Don't lose control again you hear me?"
"(Greyson) I won't how do you know me?"
"(Bailey) That's exactly why I'm saying that."
"(Greyson) Whatever shut up you’re spoiling the moment."
"(Bailey) Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know we were having a moment."
"(Greyson) We were before you decided to spoil it with your constant talking."
"(Bailey) Oh, I'm sorry."
He continued kissing me in my neck. Soon not only he was shirtless but me as well. If I didn't stop this soon then it wouldn't end well. I couldn't help it though it felt so good. His kisses made my skin burn. That was enough I had to stop this we're going to be late.
"(Bailey) We really have to stop"
"(Greyson) Why stop now?"
"(Bailey) Because you told me to get dressed just a second ago. Now, suddenly you want to do this."
Just like that he stopped and stepped away. I didn't expect it to be that easy. Maybe he was trying to spite me. I got dressed and went downstairs to get breakfast. As I entered the kitchen, I overheard them talking about Liam.
"(Greyson) Boys we have to finish up we have to meet Liam."
"(Alec) I thought we took care of everything yesterday."
"(Greyson) We did."
"(Alec) Then why does he want to see us?"
"(Greyson) He, just hold on."
"(Greyson) Come."
"(Bailey) Where to now?"
"(Greyson) The study."
We went into the study. I couldn't comprehend why he wanted to be alone with me in the study. It made no sense, maybe he wanted to discuss this morning
"(Greyson) You have to stay here for now."
"(Bailey) Why?"
"(Greyson) Stop asking questions."
"(Bailey) Stop talking in circles then I won't need to ask questions."
"(Greyson) Just stay here okay."
He turned around and walked out, I was about to follow him because there was no way I was staying in here. That conversation sounded too interesting and I wasn't missing it but then he locked me in. That asshole locked me in the study what's wrong with him. Who does he think he is?
I soon realized that this was not a curse but a blessing. The study had a laptop. Meaning I could log in with my email. I could actually send my mother a message. Bingo, sorry boys but I'll be leaving soon. I got to work straight away I wasn't sure how long I had before he came to fetch me.
For some reason, the universe is against me. It just wants me to stay here. My email didn't want to work, don't ask me why I don't know. Maybe I could log in online, it was surely worth it.
I got distracted by an article about the bank robbery that took place at liberty bank. One man dead and two in a critical condition. Who were they and was I even save with them, it's only a matter of time before I end up dead.
They were ruthless, cold-blooded killers. What has my life come to? I was spending most of my time with four of the most wanted people in the world. I read a bit further down and there it was, finally I knew who I was dealing with.
Four men known as the young threats strike again. During the robbery at Liberty bank, one man was found with a gunshot to his head and two other victims are in a critical condition in hospital. Police have been trying to track these four men for years but they seem to leave no trace behind. The main question on everybody's lips is "when will it stop."
I couldn't read any further I was sick to my stomach. I closed the laptop and sat there in shock. These people really didn't care about anyone. If someone came in the way they got rid of them without thinking twice. Just then I heard the study door unlock and saw Jace coming inside.
"(Olive) You look shocked."
"(Bailey) No ummm just tired and I'm not feeling well that's all."
"(Olive) You poor thing, they haven't exactly treated you very well."
"(Bailey) I guess. Why are you even part of this?"
"(Olive) I had no choice it's, it's complicated."
"(Bailey) I see. Why are you here and not Greyson?"
"(Olive) He sent me to take you to the limo because he had to take an important phone call."
"(Bailey) How convenient."
"(Olive) Don't worry I won't do anything to hurt you."
"(Bailey) I know that. I just don't want to be part of this anymore. I want to go home."
"(Olive) I get that and I understand that but you do understand that you can't, right?"
"(Bailey) Yes, yes I do."
"(Olive) You look really sad."
"(Bailey) Everything is just too much but don't worry we got to get going."
We went to the limo and Greyson soon joined us. We were now on our way to Liam. I didn't like him very much something about him is off. Anyway, doesn't matter what I think because I'm just a hostage.
After driving forever, we got to Liam. The place scared me because it was an old abandoned factory in the middle of nowhere. What could he possibly be doing here it's deserted?
"(Bailey) What...."
"(Greyson) Don't even think about asking a question, understood. Just keep quiet and stay close to us."
He scared me when he said that but his next words scared me even more.
"(Greyson) Trust me you don't want to get lost here you might not be alive."
"(Bailey) Gotcha I'll stay close don't worry."
"(Greyson) Good you’re actually working with me and not against me."
"(Bailey) It's only because I value my life."
"(Greyson) I see, we're here to see Liam."
"(Bodyguard) Sure go on in."
Just like that, we entered the factory. I was amazed when I heard screaming coming from the inside. What was going on in here? That's when I saw it an actual live fight taking place in front of my eyes.
"(Liam) Greyson my man, thank you for coming, I see you brought the lovely lady with you."
"(Greyson) Don't really have much of a choice."
"(Liam) How come not?"
"(Greyson) I can't dare leave her alone she might try and be smart."
"(Liam) You’re scared she might escape."
"(Greyson) Yes, shall we?"
"(Liam) Of, course the next show is starting soon."
We went to sit in the top room that overlooks everything. How can one be so heartless?
"(Liam) Ah, it's about to start."
"(Greyson) Pay close attention love. It's, entertainment brought to you live by Liam."
"(Bailey) Oh, how thoughtful of him."
The fight started and it was ruthless. They were stabbing one another. There was blood, kicking, punching. I couldn't watch much longer it made me sick.
"(Greyson) Don't get up now love the shows not finished."
"(Bailey) You can watch your little show but honestly it's making me sick."
"(Greyson) Ah is someone feeling under the weather."
"(Bailey) It's not funny Greyson. Making people kill one another is sick and twisted."
"(Greyson) Now watch what you're saying."
"(Bailey) No, take me home."
"(Greyson) As soon as the show is finished now, I suggest you sit down and calm the hell down."
"(Bailey) Don't tell me to calm down! Strew you Greyson."
"(Greyson) That's it, I'll right back seems we need to talk."
"(Bailey) Let go of me! You idiot.
We were outside now.
"(Greyson) I've had it with you. We do so much to keep you happy but you seem too always be ungrateful!"
"(Bailey) Have you ever asked me what I like to do? No, you haven't. How could you think for one moment that I'd be okay with this or okay for that matter!"
"(Greyson) Seems you didn't learn your lesson when I locked you in the closet!"
"(Bailey) You don't treat people like trash and the expect of them to respect you, it doesn't work that way."
"(Greyson) Shut up!"
"(Bailey) No!"
He grabbed me by my arm and we made our way inside. I tried to fight him but he just picked me up and took me inside in any way. We were there for the whole day. I couldn't wait to leave I was so sick it wasn't even funny. I took a warm shower once I got home. I had to relax but he had to spoil it with his presence. He joined me, which made him think I was fine with this only he would know but I was too tired to fight.
"(Greyson) Shall we resume this morning?"
"(Bailey) Why did you hurt those three people at Liberty bank?"
"(Greyson) Shhh."
"(Bailey) No, stop it I want to know now!"
"(Greyson) Simple they were in the way."
"(Bailey) I said stop it! You're the young threats aren't you."
"(Greyson) Yes, what does it matter to you?"
"(Bailey) Will I end up dead like everyone else that gets involved with you?"
"(Greyson) No, that's if you learn to keep quiet."
"(Bailey) Stop it!"
That didn't stop him though it just motivated him more. We were all over each other. How do I stop my heart from falling because he won't love me the way I deserve, he'll only hurt me. Besides, I have a boyfriend or I hope I still have one at least, I mean I never know. He could be cheating on me I'm not there so I won't know. All I know is Greyson is going to be the end of me. He's going to be my downfall.
11:
I woke up still shocked from yesterday. I was trying to process what I read. Nothing made sense, everything was one big lie. Greyson came in, I tried pushing my thoughts aside bit I couldn't. It was screaming inside of me how could I possibly ignore it?
"(Greyson) Morning love, sleep well?"
"(Bailey) Why did you kill those people at Liberty bank?"
"(Greyson) I'll take that as a yes, coffee?"
"(Bailey) Don't ignore me."
"(Greyson) I'll be right back with one coffee of course."
"(Bailey) Why Greyson, why did you kill them?!"
"(Greyson) Don't yell at me."
"(Bailey) Then don't ignore me!"
"(Greyson) And we just continue. Look they got in the way."
"(Bailey) So instead of moving them, you got rid of them."
"(Greyson) Yes, I don't need complications. Do you know what complications can do to my reputation?"
"(Bailey) No, I've got no idea because you never tell me."
"(Greyson) It could cost me everything. I could get caught by the feds."
"(Bailey) What was the deal with the fight club yesterday?"
"(Greyson) What do you mean?"
"(Bailey) Why did you make me watch innocent people killing one another?"
"(Greyson) Oh, love their anything but innocent, besides it's the best way to get rid of useless scum."
"(Bailey) How dare you say such a thing."
"(Greyson) It's true they do far worse thing then my gang and I."
"(Bailey) It doesn't matter! You have no right to do that!"
"(Greyson) Oh, love we have every right they sign their life away."
"(Bailey) What do you mean they sign their life away?"
"(Greyson) They sign a contract to be part of that club they don't just get recruited."
"(Bailey) You’re so sick."
"(Greyson) No, I'm not, it's not my club it's Liam's so he's the sick one, not me!"
"(Bailey) You’re the Young Threats aren't you. That's your gang's name, right?"
"(Greyson smirking) Yes, love."
"(Bailey crying) I'm going to die. I'll never go home alive. They'll find my body buried in some ditch in the middle of nowhere."
"(Greyson) Now your overreacting love. You'll live, you might not ever go home but you'll be alive."
"(Bailey) So that's it I'll never see my loved ones again."
"(Greyson) Precise, you're too big of a risk because..."
"(Bailey) I know too much."
"(Greyson) Glad you realize that."
He turned to go and answer the door while I got dressed. I had to make peace with it, I was dragged into a mess that I didn't want to be in which led to me never going home. I run downstairs and put the TV on to check for an update.
"(Reporter) The police decided to close the case of Bailey Watson's kidnapping since there were no solid leads as to where she could be."
This was all I could listen before I turned the TV off. They gave up on me just like that. I wasn't important anymore so why bother even trying to go home. They probably all replaced me with someone else. Only one person was to blame for this. That, someone, was Greyson.
"(Bailey hitting Greyson with tears in her eyes) It's all your fault!"
"(Greyson tries to stop her) Hush, now it's going to be fine."
"(Bailey) No, it's not, you idiot nothing's going to be okay ever again. They gave up the search."
"(Greyson) Well, that's good news, isn't it?"
"(Bailey) No, you emotionless jerk it's everything but good, it's terrible news."
"(Greyson) You'll soon realize it's not that bad."
"(Bailey speaking through gritted teeth) I hate you."
"(Greyson) Now that's a strong word to use love."
"(Bailey) No, it's not."
I walked away but he stopped me.
"(Greyson) You'll leave when I say so!"
"(Bailey) Fuck you Greyson, I'll leave when I feel like it."
"(Greyson) You’re such a bitch. If you worked with me and not against me your life would be so much easier."
I walked away, I've had enough of him and his sick games. He was twisted, him and his little crew. I had to get out as soon as possible. It was my only choice, I wanted to go home. I had the money I just had to get a way to get to the airport.
I overheard them talking about Miami. Oh, hell no, there was no way I was going to go with them I've had enough of this shit show.
"(Bailey) I'm not going with you!"
"(Greyson) You don't have a choice!"
"(Bailey) I do and I chose to stay here."
"(Greyson) You're not staying here end of the story. Finish up you’re going with Liam."
"(Bailey) Where to?"
"(Greyson) Not sure he wants to spend the day with you."
"(Bailey) What for?"
"(Greyson) Stop asking questions and while you're at it learn to shut up!"
"(Bailey) Stop telling me to shut up!"
"(Greyson) Go get out of my sight!"
"(Bailey) I'll be glad to!"
I left with Liam and I was not pleased. Why did I have to go with him? Greyson was already bad enough?
"(Bailey) Where are we going exactly?"
"(Liam) To my place, can't exactly go out. They'll spot you won't they."
"(Bailey) Maybe that's what has to happen."
"(Liam) Why would you want that don't you enjoy it with Greyson?"
"(Bailey) It's not about what I enjoy and what I don't. It's about me wanting to go home because I actually happen to have people that miss me."
"(Liam) Doesn't seem like it."
"(Bailey) Why would you say such a thing?"
"(Liam) I saw the news. They closed the case, didn't they? They gave up on finding you."
"(Bailey) That's none of your business!"
"(Liam) No need to get worked up about it just saying."
"(Bailey) I will get worked up because you people seem to always but your noses in my business. Like it's your own, do me a favor and stay out of my life and my business."
"(Liam) Sure, thing sugar."
We arrived at his place and got escorted inside. I didn't miss this place one bit. It made me feel uneasy knowing that all of this was earned illegally. That's when I saw it stacks upon stacks of cocaine. Was this guy a drug dealer as well?
"(Liam) Oh, don't worry about that just a shipment that needs to go out."
"(Bailey) I see, where to?"
"(Liam) Can't tell you, it's nothing personal."
"(Bailey) Why not?"
"(Liam) Because it's my business."
"(Bailey) So, you're going to play me just like that."
"(Liam) Yes sugar, I'm cold don't forget that."
"(Bailey) I see well maybe I like someone that's cold, ever thought of that."
"(Liam) No not quite but aren't you Greyson's girl?"
"(Bailey) No, he's my kidnapper that's the difference."
"(Liam) I see, shall we?"
"(Bailey) Of course. If you don't mind, I'd like to explain why I ran out of the fight club yesterday."
"(Liam) Of, course go ahead. I'm listening."
"(Bailey) I got sick because I can't handle things like that."
"(Liam) And why is that?"
"(Bailey) Because it's sick of people to do that!"
"(Liam) So, you’re saying I'm sick?"
"(Bailey) Yes, you’re sick and twisted how could you do such a thing?"
"(Liam) Sugar I'm doing what everyone is too afraid to do so don't questions me!"
"(Bailey) I'm allowed to give my opinion so if you don't like it tough luck!"
"(Liam) You're out of line sugar!"
"(Bailey) Well, it's better than being a damn criminal!"
I had a long day with Liam and it wasn't that bad he's actually quite nice. I went home and straight to bed but of course, Greyson had to interrupt.
"(Greyson) Did you enjoy your day with Liam?"
"(Bailey) He's quite the gentleman you should take a few pointers from him."
"(Greyson) I don't have to because there's no time for girls."
"(Bailey) I see well good night."
"(Greyson) You’re not going to bed now."
"(Bailey) Good night Greyson."
12:
Greyson's pov
I woke up and got ready, she was still asleep. Laying there so innocent, she made me feel guilty. I tried remembering how it felt to be innocent but the thought felt so distant. Almost like it never existed.
After finishing up I went to get the boys. We had to be at the private yet in less than an hour. We had a 2 hour and 31-minute flight to Miami. Once again, a business trip organized by Liam, some job we have to do for a friend of his.
It doesn't surprise me that he gave us the job, we are the best. Anyway, I made coffee and took her a cup. When I got inside the room, I heard the shower water. Could only be her, I mean who else could it be?
I was about to leave the room when I heard her talking to me. I didn't have time for this right now. I still had some packing to do before we left for Miami.
"(Bailey) Morning Greyson."
"(Greyson) Morning."
"(Bailey) Wow, grumpy much."
"(Greyson) I'm not grumpy, I'm busy there's a difference."
"(Bailey) Busy with?"
"(Greyson) Packing for Miami."
"(Bailey) I'm not seriously going with you, right?"
"(Greyson) You are we've been over this before, haven't we?"
"(Bailey) Do I have to?"
"(Greyson) Yes, like I've told you a million times. You're too big of a risk."
"(Bailey) I know haven't you reminded me enough already?"
"(Greyson) I'll decide when I think it's enough!"
"(Bailey) You don't have to yell at me!"
"(Greyson) I'll stop yelling when you stop asking me to stay and go home!"
"(Bailey) You know you don't have to be such an asshole!"
"(Greyson) Oh, I'm the asshole, I'm trying to keep everything I've ever worked for!"
"(Bailey) Well if I'm such a risk just kill me!"
"(Greyson) No honey don't turn on the waterworks they don't work with me."
"(Bailey) Screw you. I hate you!"
"(Greyson) Hates a strong word, for such a weak girl."
"(Bailey) Oh, I'm weak aren't I, yet I still managed to knock you out!"
"(Greyson) That was luck love."
"(Bailey) Never underestimate me!"
"(Greyson) Offensive much."
"(Bailey) Why do you have to be so mean?"
"(Greyson) No one ever got anywhere by being nice!"
"(Bailey) You'd be much further I've you tried being nice!"
"(Greyson) You know what being nice in my line of work gets you?"
"(Bailey) No."
"(Greyson) It gets you killed!"
"(Bailey) Not if you’re careful."
"(Greyson) Oh, so you think that helps. It also gets you killed."
"(Bailey) It's pointless, useless even trying to talk to you because you always turn everything into a fight. I've never met someone like you. Do you even have humanity left?"
"(Greyson) No!"
"(Bailey) Why, what made you this monster?"
"(Greyson) My life, my parents!"
"(Bailey) How can you blame this on them?"
"(Greyson) Simple they abandoned me!"
"(Bailey) You were an orphan?"
(Bailey) I'm so sorry."
"(Greyson) Don't be, I don't care anyway."
"(Bailey) No, but..."
"(Greyson) Pack we leave in 30 minutes."
She probably felt bad but she didn't need to. I never really cared about finding my real parents. They probably didn't love me anyway so why even bother? I don't need them I've got everything I'll ever need.
We all were packed and ready to leave. I went to call her but I saw she was distant. Like he was here but at the same time, she wasn't.
"(Greyson) Come were leaving."
"(Bailey) Yeah."
She joined me we said goodbye to Olive and left. So, our 2 hours and 31-minute flight started. Everyone was chatting except her.
"(Greyson) You don't have to keep quiet you can speak you know."
"(Bailey) Do me a favor."
"(Greyson) What is it?"
"(Bailey) Just leave me alone."
My whole life if someone said that it didn't hurt or bother me but when she said it, I felt like my heart was daggered. What was happening to me? Why did what she said affect me this badly? Perhaps I was getting a cold that's all that makes sense. You know what no I won't leave her alone.
"(Greyson) I will not leave you alone!"
She took the headphones connected to the TV and put on music.
"S(Bailey) orry I can't hear you."
Why bother even trying? I'm trying my best to make this situation better but she doesn't seem to want that. She doesn't seem to see all the effort I'm putting in. I went back to the boys.
"(Michael) So why Miami?"
"(Greyson) Liam organized a job for us."
"(Jace) What for?"
"(Greyson) Not sure yet we have to meet Calum. He'll give us information regarding the job."
"(Alec) Why can't Liam do it?"
"(Greyson) Because we're not doing the job for Liam. This job is one given by Calum."
"(Michael) Is this a good decision. I mean I'm not questioning your leadership I'm just asking because we've never worked with this Calum guy before."
"(Greyson) I'm sure it's a good decision. I know you're skeptical I understand that but remember if all is well, we'll have a potential partner. Meaning we'll make double the money."
"(Michael) That's true."
"(Greyson) Everything will work out fine. We'll meet him tomorrow you know what would be nice?"
"(Jace) Shoot."
"(Greyson) A drink."
"(Jace) Your right."
We had a few drinks and soon landed in Miami. We had so much fun that I almost forgot about Bailey. She was sound asleep, I couldn't wake her, I would feel bad. So, I picked her up and got into the limo.
"(Greyson) The beachside estate please."
"(Limo driver) Sure thing boss."
Just like I remember it. There it was a beautiful estate. I laid her down on the bed in the master bedroom. Me and the boys needed a break from our busy lives. I can't remember when last, we actually had a good time.
"(Greyson) What do you boys say about us having a good night?"
"(Alec) We have to stay focused."
"(Greyson) We will it's only one night."
"(Alec) Okay well, let's do it then."
So, we took shots and drank some whiskey. She joined us and this just got more heated. At 12 we went to bed, we had to be up early tomorrow. I closed the door and came face to face with her.
"(Bailey) Hey you’re not seriously going to sleep now."
"(Greyson) I am we have to be up early."
She gave me a pout and stepped closer, before tugging on my shirt. We both knew this was wrong and that it would end badly but we couldn't help it. Ignoring what was going on between us wasn't an option.
"(Greyson) Come now I'm not tired yet."
"(Bailey) What are you doing?"
"(Greyson) Untying your shirt silly, what else?"
"(Bailey) I know but why?"
"(Greyson) Let's play a game."
"(Bailey) No, we're going to bed."
"(Greyson) But why?"
"(Bailey) Because."
This didn't stop her because she pushed me backward until I plopped down on the bed. It didn't stop there she got on top of me straddling me and my hands instantly rested on her hips.
"(Greyson) Now that's better."
I wanted to stop her but it felt too good. I enjoyed her taking the lead. Besides I was too drunk to get angry. She kissed me and that was it, things got out of control. I don't need to fill you in on the details.
"(Bailey) Hey Cray, can I ask you a favor?"
"(Greyson) Yes, love anything for you."
"(Bailey) Can I please have a phone. I need to make a call."
"(Greyson) Bottom drawer."
"(Bailey) Thank you so much."
I fell asleep to the sound of her crying. What was in that call that upset her so much? What could possibly make her cry that much?
13:
It didn't take much of me to get him to give me a phone. Just a few kisses and bam I can make a call. My mother would be sleeping by now but hopefully, my boyfriend was awake. If I could just reach out to someone and tell them where I was, I could be out of here in no time.
I dialed his number and to my surprise he answered.
"(Bailey) Hey babe it's me Bailey."
"(Boyfriend) Hey, I'm so glad to know that you're still alive."
"(Bailey) Babe I need you to listen carefully."
"(Bailey’s boyfriend) Yeah."
"(Bailey) I'm in..."
"(Random girl) Hey, baby who are you talking to?"
"(Boyfriend) Bailey this is not a good time."
"(Bailey) Who's that?"
"(Bailey’s boyfriend) Does it matter."
"(Bailey) You, asshole how could you. I was abducted by psychopaths and the first thing you do is replace me!"
"(Bailey’s boyfriend) Bailey calm down."
"(Bailey) Don't tell me to calm down!"
"(Bailey’s boyfriend) Let's discuss this like adults."
"(Bailey) You know what I hate you."
"(Bailey’s boyfriend) No, you don't."
"(Bailey) I do."
"(Bailey’s boyfriend) Where are you so that I can let the feds know?"
I turned around and gave one look at the handsome guy lying in bed fast asleep.
"(Bailey) Don't bother."
"(Bailey’s boyfriend) You know they'll be able to track you."
"(Bailey) I doubt it."
I ended the call and put the phone away. I was crying when I got into bed next to him. My boyfriend cheated on me when he was supposed to look for me and to crown it all I was in Miami with the Young Threats.
I woke up at eight to an empty bed. I was on my way to go and shower when I heard the water. So that's where he was. I guess I can go and get some coffee and breakfast.
I ran downstairs and started breakfast, ate and went outside for a swim. It's been a long time since I had time for myself. The fresh air also did me good. I got out and used the outside shower. I finished up and grabbed a towel when I felt him touching my arm.
"(Greyson) Morning love, did you enjoy the water."
"(Bailey) Yes, it was quite refreshing."
"(Greyson) You know it wasn't smart what you did."
"(Bailey) What are you talking about?"
"(Greyson) Seducing me than asking for a phone."
"(Bailey) I'm sorry but what was I supposed to do? Wait for you to give me one."
"(Greyson) That would've been smart."
"(Bailey) Look I don't want to fight, I'm not in the mood."
"(Greyson) I'm not going to fight with you I'm just saying don't do that again."
"(Bailey) I won't."
"(Greyson) Why were you crying?"
"(Bailey) I wasn't crying, what made you think I was crying."
"(Greyson) I'm not stupid Bailey. I heard you on the phone and straight after you were crying."
"(Bailey) Nonsense, you don't know what you're talking about."
"(Greyson) Bailey we both know your lying right to my face."
"(Bailey) Fine, you want the truth?"
"(Greyson) Yes please."
"(Bailey) I phoned my boyfriend and you know what happened? While he was supposed to look for me, he fooled around."
"(Greyson) Well, technically you did too because of what happened that one night."
"(Bailey) We're not talking about me right now. We're talking about him."
Next thing I know he's got me backed up against the shower wall. We had a stare off for the longest time possible.
"(Greyson) I know but just saying."
"(Bailey) Can you do me a favor and keep quiet?"
"(Greyson) And if I don't want to."
"(Bailey) Then I'll have to make you."
"(Greyson) How are you going to do that?"
"(Bailey biting her lower lip) How would I shut you up? Perhaps by doing this."
I leaned in and kissed him. I wasn't supposed to but I did. What else could I do? My heart was broken and I wasn't bound to show him that. I just wanted him to change the topic.
I would talk about what happened last night but I really didn't want to. Kissing him felt better than my broken heart.
"(Greyson) You shouldn't have."
"(Bailey) Why?"
"(Greyson) Because of you we're going to be late."
"(Bailey) You’re the leader can't you send them on their own?"
"(Greyson) I could but what leader would I be."
"(Bailey) A good one."
"(Greyson) How?"
"(Bailey) You'll learn them to depend on themselves and not only you. Didn't you send them alone when they came to look for me?"
"(Greyson) No, I was out cold so they had to."
"(Bailey) So, pretend to be sick."
"(Greyson) Bailey this is an important mission."
"(Bailey) Come now or don't you want to find out how this ends."
"(Greyson) I know how this ends there's a difference."
"(Bailey) Fine whatever leave then."
"(Greyson) Bailey please."
"(Bailey) You have a choice to stay here with me and resume this session or go with your gang."
"(Greyson) Wait here."
He left and I waited patiently. He soon returned to notify me that the gang was on their way.
"(Greyson) Their leaving."
"(Bailey) Good you listened to me."
"(Greyson) I did. Let's just not rush things okay."
"(Bailey) I'll try my best."
Things got heated not going to lie. He picked me up and walked inside.
"(Bailey) Wait we're alone, right?"
"(Greyson) Yes, love, why you asking?"
"(Bailey) Just checking that's all."
We both landed on the couch. It didn't stop there, I had to play my cards well if I wanted to go home. If I could just get him to fall for me. I could beg him to let me go and he would.
You can figure out on your own where things lead to. He was busy somewhere, while I took a shower and got dressed. I was about to go outside when someone stopped me. It wasn't Greyson though.
"(Random guy) Hey, honey. I'm going to ask you to keep quiet so that Greyson doesn't hear us."
"(Bailey) Screw you."
"(Guy) Now that's not nice. I'm not going to hurt you I just want to ask you something."
I yelled at the top of my lungs and Greyson came in. He had a gun in his hand."
"(Greyson) Love I’m going to need you to keep still."
"(Bailey) What for?"
"(Greyson) Just trust me okay."
"(Bailey) Why should I?"
"(Greyson) Just do it okay."
"(Bailey) Am I going to be alive after this?"
"(Greyson) If you do what I say yes otherwise no."
"(Bailey) I'm trusting you don't disappoint me."
"(Guy) Could you two stop arguing! Now Greyson tell us where you hid the drugs?"
"(Bailey) Drugs are you kidding me."
"(Greyson) We blew it up, let her go we can settle this like normal people."
"(Guy) You know Greyson they say if you want to bring someone down a notch you hit them where it hurts the most."
"(Greyson) What are you talking about."
"(Guy) You care about her, so since you took something from me, I'm going to do the same."
"(Greyson) Listen don't, I was just doing my job!"
"(Guy) Me to Greyson. I'm going to be in shit maybe I'll end up dead because you blew up shit that was worth millions!"
"(Greyson) Let her go she's innocent."
"(Guy) She's part of this as much as you are. You both have a deal in our problem. Don't worry you can watch me kill her and suffer but that's not all once I'm done with her, I'll kill you."
"(Greyson) Bailey love I'm going to need you to keep still please."
"(Bailey crying) Greyson please you're scaring me."
"(Greyson) Listen love it's going to be okay, trust me."
That's what I did, I trusted him. He didn't need to prove that I knew it I mean he's kept me safe all this time. What makes this time different?
Anyway, I didn't have much of a choice I didn't want to die today. I've never been this afraid and I'd surely not ever forget this day. Gunshots that's what I heard. Was I shot?
Answer to that no, the guy that held me just seconds go was dead on the floor. Gunshot to the head and as for me, I was covered in blood.
"(Bailey) What is wrong with you!?"
"(Greyson) Thank you Greyson for saving my life, it's a pleasure."
"(Bailey) Thank you for covering me in someone else's blood!"
"(Greyson) Are you okay."
"(Bailey) I think."
"(Greyson) Bailey!!!"
I fainted and all I heard was him yelling at me to wake up. He picked me up and that was all I remember.
14:
Greyson's pov
She was out cold. I eventually got her to wake up. She had to we needed to clean up this mess before the boys got back. They couldn't know about this it would just complicate everything.
"(Greyson) Bailey, love I need you to get up."
"(Bailey) Greyson?"
"(Greyson) Yes love, come we need to clean before the rest get back."
"(Bailey) You…you shot someone!!!"
"(Greyson) Okay love calm down. It's going to be okay."
"(Bailey panicking) I'm covered in blood!"
"(Greyson) Calm the fuck down!"
"(Bailey) I'm sorry I almost died and here you are telling me to calm down!"
"(Greyson) Come get up. There are buckets and rags in the kitchen. I'll remove the body start cleaning the blood."
"(Bailey) Sure thing."
She got things and started cleaning. She was making a bigger mess because of her rattling from all the shock. I could see she tried processing everything but it was too difficult for her. The body was taken care of all that was left was the blood.
"(Greyson) Love look at me you got to stay strong for me okay."
"(Bailey) I'll try."
"(Greyson) No, no, look at me don't cry it's going to be okay just stay strong."
"(Bailey) There's a man dead Greyson and I'm covered in his blood."
"(Greyson) I know love just remember that could have been us. I did what needed to be done."
"(Bailey) So, killing a man was necessary."
"(Greyson) I did it to protect you, never forget that."
I gave her a kiss on the head and a hug. She was shaking and tears streamed down her angelic face. She laid there motionless in my arms as I held her. After a while, we cleaned the blood.
I gave her a calming pill and the boys pitched up. We went to the study so that I could get the job description. I had to do something about her the boys are going to pick something up.
"(Greyson) So, what has to be done?"
"(Alec) They told us to meet them at this party tonight then they'll tell us."
"(Greyson) You want to tell me you were there the whole day just to hear you have to attend a party for more info."
"(Michael) They explained how things get done."
"(Greyson) And?"
"(Michael) Let's just say this guy doesn't fool around he gets rid of people that screw up."
"(Greyson) I see, could you excuse me for a second?"
"(Jace) Sure it seems important."
"(Greyson) I'll be right back."
I walked over to her and motioned to the room. It was still untidy from earlier. She looked tense and they were going to pick up something.
"(Greyson) Love keep it together. The boys are going to start asking questions."
"(Bailey) I'm sorry."
"(Greyson) Stop being sorry just work with me. Nobody can find out about what happened here today understood. Nobody."
"(Bailey) Yes understood."
"(Greyson) Now go and wait in the lounge and watch movies."
I ushered her to the living room and went back to the boys. We had some more work to discuss.
"(Greyson) When's the party starting?"
"(Michael) At six."
"(Greyson) It's safe to say we have to start getting ready."
"(Jace) Yeah, the limo will be here at 05:30."
I dismissed everyone and went to get her. She was fast asleep on the couch. I felt guilty waking her up but I had no choice we had to finish up for the party. She woke up quickly and I told her to get ready.
"(Greyson) Come let's get ready for the party."
"(Bailey) Party? What party?"
"(Greyson) The one we have to attend for work."
"(Bailey) I don't feel like going can't I stay here."
"(Greyson) No, it's unsafe, come."
"(Bailey) No, I don't want to."
"(Greyson) You don't have a choice."
I grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her up the stairs. We finished and I was stunned by her look. She had a knee-high strapless red dress on with black heels. Her hair was curled. She looked breathtaking.
"(Greyson) Perhaps we could stay here."
"(Bailey) Shall we go downstairs the limo will be here soon."
"(Greyson) Let's skip everything and stay here."
"(Bailey) I'll meet you downstairs."
She left and I followed. Soon the limo collected us and we were off to the party. My mind was in a million places at once. Since she's shown up things haven't been the same. She's taking over my mind, it's never been like this with any hostage or maybe it's because the rest haven't been around that long. Out of all my hostages, she's the one that remains alive the longest.
We arrived at the party and were welcomed with some drinks. We weren't really planning on drinking since we only came here to do some business.
"(Greyson) Right, where's the guy we have to talk to?"
"(Jace) At the booth in the left corner."
"(Greyson) Right boys let's get this done, oh Michael can you stay here with Bailey I don't want to involve her in this mess?"
"(Jace) Sure, thing boss."
I left her with Michael and we got to business.
"(Calum) I presume you're Greyson."
"(Greyson) Yes, that will be me."
"(Calum) I take it you had some business to attend to that's why you weren't here."
"(Greyson) That's right."
"(Calum) Anyway, I need you to do a drug deal downtown. I'll pay you half the money of what I make. Are you up for it?"
"(Greyson) We never say no to a little work. I mean it we could do with some extra cash."
"(Calum) Great I'll send you the details later, for now, enjoy the party."
We left and joined with Michael and Bailey. The night didn't go to bad so far but when they send shots around things got heated. Bailey was busy dancing and soon after I found myself joining. It took everything in me to leave her alone. Damn who knew this girl could dance like this?
She was grinding and later on our bodies joined. We were now synchronized with one another but it all ended when this one guy came up to us. I signaled the boys to watch her while I sorted out this guy.
"(Greyson) What's your problem man?"
"(Random guy) You're my problem!"
"(Greyson) You barely know me, what could I possibly do wrong?"
"(Guy) You stole our mission, the drug deal does it ring any bells?"
"(Greyson) Yes, and your point is?"
"(Guy) Keep a close eye on girly over there, wouldn't want her to get hurt. Oh, and watch your back!"
Just like that. He came up to me and threatened to hurt her. We had to leave she wasn't safe here.
"(Greyson) Come we're leaving."
"(Bailey) But I'm having fun Greyson."
"(Greyson) Bailey we're leaving it's not safe here."
"(Bailey) Why not?"
"(Greyson) You see that man over there we took over his job and because of that your life as we speak is on the line."
"(Bailey) Okay on second hand let's leave. I trust you to keep me safe (giggling)"
I picked her up, she wasn't capable of walking not in her state anyway. We got in the limo, only me and her. The boys stayed behind to check out things. As soon as we drove off, she came and sat in my lap facing me. She looked deep into my eyes and bit her bottom lip.
"(Bailey) Your so cute when you're protective."
"(Greyson) Bai..."
"(Bailey) Shhh, no talking."
She leaned in and our lips connected. We were now full-on making out, that was until we were interrupted by the limo driver opening the door for us.
We got out and locked up. I picked her up and her legs folded around my waist. Up the stairs and into the room where I put her down. This girl knew what she wanted and she didn't play let me tell you that.
She took my shirt off as we kissed. I tugged on her dress and she gave me this unexplainable look. I wasn't going to go, too far but that didn't mean I couldn't take off her dress for her. I mean we had to dress in pajamas. Could just as well help her. So we dressed in pajamas and went straight to bed we both had a long and awful day.
15:
I woke up with a terrible headache and memories of what I did. I call a shower and a cup of black coffee. Don't, of course, forget the headache tablets.
I undressed and ran the water. I stood there for a moment just feeling the water running down my body. What was I doing with my life, I was living with gang members and I might be falling for one of them?
I saw so many things that I'll never ever be able to forget. I'll need therapy for the rest of my lifetime. The hot air escaped and was replaced with cold air. I felt his presence and how his fingers moved over my skin. His touch felt good, no Bailey stop it.
You can't fall for him a criminal for crying out loud. You'll be on the run for the rest of your life.
"(Bailey) Why Greyson?"
"(Greyson) Why not?"
"(Bailey) This is going to end badly."
"(Greyson) It won't, we're just showering."
"(Bailey) Yes together."
"(Greyson) And?"
"(Bailey) I'm wasting my breath, aren't i."
"(Greyson) Absolutely."
He leaned in and our lips connected, they moved in sync. He deepened the kiss so did I. I wanted to stop but how could I? It felt too good. Even though my heart won't admit it yet but I was addicted to him. He was like a high I couldn't come down from. A drug I'll never be able to leave.
"(Bailey) Greyson we have to stop."
"(Greyson) No, we don't."
He moved his lips down to my neck. I was done for he might not know this but it's my weak spot.
"(Bailey) Greyson please, I want to finish and the boys are going to get suspicious."
"(Greyson) They won't believe me."
"(Bailey) They will."
"(Greyson) They'll think I'm in the shower."
"(Bailey) And what about me?"
"(Greyson) They'll probably think your around here somewhere."
"(Bailey) Right, I see."
"(Bailey) Greyson stop."
He wouldn't so I started bumping him playfully.
"(Greyson) I see we're playing a game."
"(Bailey) No, we're not."
"(Greyson) Then why push me playfully?"
"(Bailey) To get you to stop."
"(Greyson) That just motivates me even more."
"(Bailey) Greyson please."
"(Greyson) Damn the way you say my name, it gives me a rush."
"(Bailey) Please stop I want to finish."
"(Greyson) Come on don't you want to know how this ends?"
"(Bailey) No, because I can tell you it's going to end badly."
I still wanted to push him away but he caught my hands. His lips met my neck, he was not going to stop, was he? He wanted to test how far I would go but I wasn't going to let him. He wasn't very smart because I was thought how to escape someone's grasp.
"(Greyson) Hold still won't you."
"(Bailey) No."
I escaped his grasp and put my hands on his abs. He gave me a mischievous look. As if he thought I was giving him what he wanted. I pushed him back against the wall rested my hands on his abs and placed gentle kisses on his jawline. I felt him tense up when I did this.
"(Greyson) Why so tense?"
"(Bailey) I'm not."
"(Greyson) You are, did I hit your weak spot?"
"(Bailey) No comment."
"(Greyson) Let's just admit it I did."
Once I had him where I wanted him, I got out. I wasn't staying there the whole day. I had better things to do with my time. I dressed and went to the lounge switching on the TV. The news was showing.
"(Reporter) Still no sight of the young threats or 18-year-old Bailey. Police have led to believe that they might be in a different state or Country. Making their job even harder."
At this point, I changed the channel. They made it seem as if it was such a big problem looking for me. If I was such a burden to them, why did they even bother looking for me? I mean it's not like they’re ever going to find me these people are way smarter than them.
I heard Greyson behind me asking me why I was so frustrated.
"(Greyson) Why are you so frustrated?"
"(Bailey) Because the police make it seem like I'm a burden."
"(Greyson) Why do you even bother watching the news we both know you're never going home."
"(Bailey) I know."
"(Greyson) Besides if they don't find you soon, they'll close the case anyway ruling you as a runaway child."
"(Bailey) Geez is that what you think of me?"
"(Greyson) No just stating facts that's all."
"(Bailey) As if you're insulting me but you're too scared to admit it."
"(Greyson) Listen here little girl I'm not afraid of anything!"
"(Bailey) You have to be afraid of losing everything or am I wrong to say so?"
He kept quiet for a brief moment not saying anything. It was like he had to think of something to say that would help him win the argument. He spoke up after a minute or so.
"(Greyson) If I, were you, I'd shut up."
"(Bailey) I'm not a dog!"
"(Greyson) Don't make assumptions about things you don't know, got it!"
"(Bailey) Fine whatever!"
"(Greyson) Don't yell at me!"
"(Bailey) Can I go for a jog? Please, I'm so bored."
"(Greyson) No, because that would give you all the reason in the world to run away!"
"(Bailey) You can send someone with me if it makes you feel any better."
"(Jace) Send someone with, where to?"
"(Bailey) I want to go and jog but Greyson is scared I'll try to escape."
"(Jace) I'll go with if it's fine Greyson?"
"(Greyson) If you go, she can go but you stay with here. I don't need her running to the feds."
"(Bailey) What would it help anyway Greyson, like you said they'll rule me a runaway child!"
"(Jace) I'll change and meet you out front."
"(Bailey) Okay."
"(Greyson) You have to learn to keep quiet and to stop yelling. Yell at me once more I dare you to do it so that I can show you what I'm going to do to you."
"(Bailey) I'm."
"(Greyson) Shut up and go, Jace is waiting."
I got up and gave him a glare who did he think he was speaking to me like that? It seems to me that when we're alone he can treat me with respect but around others, he treats me like trash. Anyway, me and Jace went for a jog around the block.
Halfway back we saw a car approaching us. He told me to stay close to him just in case anything might happen. I did just that, I wasn't going to die today. The car started speeding up and the windows rolled down. Gunshots were fired and I thought I was going to die.
"(Jace) Take cover!"
"(Bailey) No need to tell me twice."
The car left and we head straight home to warn the rest. My nerves were shocked. How much more was I going to need to go through before it stopped? I was going to need therapy for the rest of my damn life. As soon as we reached the house, I noticed Jace was shot.
"(Bailey) Your hurt."
"(Jace) It's nothing, we have to find the boys."
"(Bailey) You’re going to bleed out."
"(Jace) Bailey I've been shot plenty of times before I'll survive trust me just find the boys. We have to warm them someone is attacking us."
"(Bailey) Jace that wound is serious."
"(Jace) Bailey find the boys!"
This was the first time since I met the gang that Jace yelled at me. He's usually nice to me but now seems to be different. I did what he said because if this was still his okay side I didn't want to see his angry side.
"(Jace) Greyson, Alec, Michael! Where are you guys? We're under attack!"
"(Greyson) What are you talking about?"
"(Jace) Bailey and I were jogging when this car approached us and started firing shots at us."
"(Greyson) Must be that gang from last night."
"(Michael) You think so?"
"(Greyson) No Michael I know so because after we went to see the boss for the job. That gang leader came up to me and threatened me."
"(Alec) What did he say?"
"(Greyson) Something about us that's going to be sorry for accepting the job."
"(Bailey) Then it's obvious what, you have to do. You have to cancel the job."
"(Greyson) Are you insane!"
"(Bailey) No, I'm realistic."
"(Greyson) If we cancel the big boss will kill us."
"(Bailey) Greyson for once think with your head."
"(Greyson) I am!"
"(Bailey) Fine whatever just remember my life is on the line as well as yours! You're going to get me killed all for a little cash."
"(Greyson) Your delusional if you think it's a little bit of cash. Love it's worth more than your useless life."
"(Bailey) Oh, useless geez thanks Greyson at least I know where I stand and how much my life means to you!"
"(Jace) Greyson that's uncalled for and can someone help me!"
"(Greyson) We can do more with cash Jace then we can do with her! Let's get real and be honest!"
"(Jace) Doesn't matter that's no way to treat someone!"
They continued arguing and I stormed out and into the room. I don't know why it hurt hearing those words come from his mouth. I always knew I never meant anything to him but yet it hurt. Maybe I wanted to believe that deep down he cared about me but I was wrong because someone like him doesn't care for others but himself.
He's a self-centered idiot. With tears in my eyes, I laid on the bed. I drifted away before being woken up by a window shattering. When I jumped up, I saw a brick on the bedroom floor.
"(Random guy) You've made a hell of a mistake saying yes to that job you'll regret it. So, either you stand down or die. The choice is up to you."
I stood there in shock, tears in my eyes with the brick in my hands. Greyson came running in and took it from me.
"(Bailey) Did you mean what you said?"
"(Greyson) Now is not the time."
"(Bailey) Please Greyson I'm scared, I'm going to die!"
"(Greyson) Calm down Bailey."
His two hands cupped my face as he placed a kiss on my forehead. He pulled me into a hug and whispered.
"(Greyson) I'll never let them hurt you. I'll rather die than allow that, that I can promise you. Just trust me on this one everything's going to be okay."
16:
We had been getting threats left right and center. Today was the official day of the job. They didn't cancel, they'd rather face the gang threats then be killed by the big boss. Since that night of the brick flying through the window, I haven't spoken to Greyson once. I hadn't even paid attention to him I was to catch up in everything that was going on.
I decided to go and shower before we left, my nerves were shocked. I was scared and alone. Even though he promised to keep me safe no matter what I still didn't have a solid guarantee. Life has a funny way of working out. I could get killed when he's not there to protect me.
To be honest, everything was just too much for me. I had a semi meltdown while I was in the shower. I sat there with the water running over me, crying. What else was I supposed to do, laugh? My life was in the hands of criminals and I could die any given moment, it scared me just thinking about it.
Once I finished in the shower I dressed and head to the kitchen. If today was going to be my last day I'd at least eat breakfast and have coffee. We never know what might happen you could be alive the one moment and dead the next.
Crayon came and got coffee. I didn't know how to talk to him. I mean since that night I've been ignoring him. We haven't kissed or anything. It was like we were two strangers living under one roof. The rest of the boys joined us it was a relief. The atmosphere was being to get very thick.
"(Jace) Is it just me or is there an atmosphere?"
"(Bailey) I don't think so why?"
"(Jace) You two usually argue or fight and yet you’re not speaking, neither of you.
"(Greyson) Do we have to? We're not friends Jace she's a hostage!"
"(Jace) Geez sorry, Greyson I was just asking."
"(Bailey) I rather like the peace it's nice not fighting for once."
"(Alec) I agree."
"(Michael) Have we gotten any new threats yet?"
"(Jace) Nothing that I've seen."
"(Alec) Doesn't it seem odd I mean we get threats and one the day that we have to do the job there's none."
"(Greyson) It seems rather off to me. Their planning something I'm sure of it."
"(Alec) Let's just be cautious and careful out there today. That way we'll all survive including you, Bailey."
"(Bailey) I hear you."
"(Greyson) Shall we leave to get the job done or what?"
"(Alec) Yes, let's get it done with the longer we wait the better opportunity they have to do something."
We went to this abandoned house a couple of miles away from where we stay so that they can do the job. When we reached the house, we went inside. I must admit everything seemed to quiet and even I got suspicious.
"(Crayon) Right boys check the perimeter. I'll stay here just in case."
They checked things out which left Crayon and me alone.
"(Greyson) Did I do or say anything wrong"
"(Bailey) Why would you ask?"
"(Greyson) Because since the other night you've ignored me. We haven't spoken since."
"(Bailey) I'm sorry I'm just trying to make sense of everything going on that's all."
"(Greyson) If you say so."
The boys came back and said everything was clear. Soon the other people turned up and the deal took place. While they were busy not paying attention. I was injected with something and kidnapped by someone else.
As if I wasn't bad enough already. Now I was officially kidnapped twice by two different gangs. Oh, great fun, joys of my very, very brilliant no rephrase that shitty life.
I woke up after a very long time in a very dark room. Where the hell am I and who took me? I got a fright when the door to the room went open.
"(Random guy) Hey honey, I'm glad to see your awake."
"(Bailey) I'm not your honey!"
"(Random guy) No need to get angry."
"(Bailey) Where am I?"
"(Random guy) He'll come and talk to you soon don't worry."
"(Bailey) Where the hell am I?"
"(Random guy) Stop asking questions."
"(Bailey) And why am I tied up with rope."
"(Random guy) It's the only thing that doesn't break too easily and guess what there's nothing lying around for you to use. So, you won't be able to even cut yourself lose."
There was a knock on the door and the guy left. As soon as he left someone else came in but I swear I knew this person. Their colon smelt familiar.
"(Liam) I'm so sorry we had to meet like this darling."
I remember that voice it's Liam. He stroked my face with his hand.
"(Bailey) Get your hand off me!"
"(Liam) Don't yell at me."
"(Bailey) I said get your hands off me you bastard. How dare you kidnap me!
He slapped me through my face. I've always been intimated by Greyson and I always talk back but Liam was something else. He scared me he was also the first man to lift his hands for me. Not even Greyson did that no matter how angry he was.
"(Liam) You see what you made me do. Now I look like a monster when actually I'm a very nice person!"
I moved a little bit away from him. When yelling he scared me even more.
"(Liam) Oh no, darling don't move away from me now. We're not done yet."
I looked down to the ground and he flicked my chin up making me look him in the eyes.
"(Liam) That's better don't you think?"
I was too scared to answer.
"(Liam) Answer me damnit!"
"(Bailey) I guess."
"(Liam) That's better don't make me wait I hate that and don't ignore me either."
"(Bailey) What are you going to do to me?"
"(Liam) You know ever since I've seen you you've caught my eye. You angered me the other day when we met up that's why your here or at least one of the reasons."
"(Bailey) What's the other?"
"(Liam) Greyson doesn't deserve someone like you, you’re too pure for him."
"(Bailey) And you think you're better than him?"
"(Liam) I like to think so, I've achieved far more."
"(Bailey) He's far from you, your worse."
"(Liam) I get that a lot. It doesn't affect me."
"(Bailey) What do you want?"
"(Liam) Simple I want what's Greyson's."
"(Bailey) Meaning?"
"(Liam) You of course."
"(Bailey) What makes you think you can have me?"
"(Liam) I don't need your permission or his. I just take what I want as simple as that."
He leaned in and kissed my neck. I wanted to fight him but I couldn't I was powerless. He was one hell of a good kisser I couldn't resist it. All I could do was go with it I didn't have much of a choice. His hands moved up my body until they rested on my waist.
He deepened the kiss and moved his hands so that they were still on my waist but under my shirt.
"(Liam) Don't tell me you don't like this."
"(Bailey) And if I say I don't."
"(Liam) Impossible."
"(Bailey) How do you know?"
"(Liam) I can tell from the way your body is reacting."
Just like that he stopped and left.
"(Liam) Got to run darling as much as I want to stay here, I've got things to do. See you later, just think about it I can give you more then he'll ever be able to.
He left me thinking but how could he think wanted any of this. He as trying to buy me not love me at least Greyson didn't try to buy me. Goss everything is so complicated and one hell of a big mess.
17:
Greyson's pov
When we finally finished the deal, we were ready to go. Of course, we would hit a hiccup. No job is ever perfect unless something extra happens to us.
She was gone. Nowhere to be found. I really hope she didn't try and escape because this time I wasn't going to be nice. Would she though she's scared of her life being in danger?
I told her I'd protect her no matter what yet here we are. She's gone, probably alone with who knows who.
"(Greyson) Check the perimeter, Bailey's not here!"
"(Michael) She probably ran away, you know Greyson you should punish her more then maybe she would actually listen!"
Jace came back with some information regarding our situation.
"(Jace) I don't think that she tried to escape."
"(Michael) What do you mean it's obvious she did!"
"(Alec) Michael could you please stop yelling like that."
"(Jace) The guards outside are all down. They've been injected."
"(Greyson) Can someone please tell me why nobody kept an eye on her!"
"(Jace) We were all busy."
"(Greyson) I don't care do you know what this means!?"
"(Alec) Yes, one less problem to take care of."
"(Greyson) You're all idiots their going to torture her for answers she doesn't have!"
"(Michael) Calm down Greyson."
I stormed over to him and knocked him to the ground. Who was he to tell me to calm down? She was going to get hurt because they were too stupid to look after her.
"(Greyson) Do not tell me to calm down!"
"(Alec) Let's make a list of possible people who would take her."
"(Jace) The gang that's been sending us threats."
"(Greyson) At least you’re doing something and not just waiting for me to tell you what to do."
"(Alec) What about Liam?"
"(Greyson) Why would he do something like that?"
"(Jace) He doesn't have anything against us, right?"
"(Greyson) Not that I know of. We have to go and see that other guy so that we can find out if his gang did it. If they didn't then I don't know."
So, we left the building and went to that guy. He swore high and low that his gang didn't do it. So, my question is who did? I doubt that it would be Liam. He wouldn't stab us in the back like that.
I was getting worried because I felt helpless. For the first time in my life, I didn't know what to do. My hands were tied. For all, I know she was in the hands of a psychopath. We got our payment and sealed the deal before going home.
I had to go see Liam and ask him if he hadn't seen Bailey. If he said no then I'd have to accept it. I'd have to wait for the ransom or a letter. Once we reached the house, I told the boys I was going to see Liam.
"(Greyson) I'm going to see Liam and find out if he's seen her."
"(Jace) No problem in the meantime we'll try and think of other possible people that could be responsible."
"(Greyson) Thanks."
I left and went to Liam's. He wasn't there when I arrived so I made myself comfortable. It felt like he was taking forever and I was about to leave when he came walking in.
"(Liam) Greyson so lovely to see you."
"(Greyson) Liam."
"(Liam) So what brings you here?"
"(Greyson) I needed to talk to someone."
"(Liam) About?"
"(Bailey) We did a job and someone kidnapped Bailey."
"(Liam) That's bad by who?"
"(Greyson) That's the thing I was hoping you could help with."
"(Liam) You’re not suggesting I did it."
"(Greyson) No, I know you would never do that."
"(Liam) It could be anyone, you piss off a lot of people."
"(Greyson) I know but it has to be someone that knew our whereabouts."
"(Liam) Have you checked everywhere?"
"(Greyson) Yes, that's why I was hoping that you might have seen her."
"(Liam) Why would you think I did?"
"(Greyson) The boys say they think she ran away and if she did, I hoped she'd come here."
"(Liam) I see."
"(Greyson) So, you're sure you haven't seen her."
"(Liam) Positive."
"(Greyson) Okay well I have to get going we got to keep searching."
"(Liam) See you around."
I got up and left. He was lying I knew it. Liam has never been able to lie to me because I can tell when he does. He's seen her I know it but I can't say if he's got her or not.
Back at the house, I took a long shower. Where was she? Was she safe? Did anyone hurt her? I hope not because I'll end them. Why I was thinking this way I'm not sure but I guess it's what she did to me.
I got into bed but I couldn't fall asleep my mind was too busy. A picture of her was stuck in my head.
The next morning
I decided to pay Liam another visit. If he had her for sure I'd find out. I'm going to get her back I have to-it's important. She knows too much and one wrong move can end up either killing her or ending our hard work.
I left before the boys could ask any questions. I was going to see him alone. Even though it wasn't my fault she was missing I felt liable for it. I should have told them to keep an eye on her or I should have simply left her at home but no I took her with me. Look where that got me now, she's missing.
I got to his place and once again he wasn't there. Where was he? He's always been around when we came to see him so he can't use the excuse of work. He gets people to do his work for him. I heard him coming in and hid in a nearby closet.
He was on the phone with someone. Who though? I sat there for what felt like ages before hearing something useful.
"(Liam) I have her but he's got no idea. For once I just want what he wants. You should see her a real beauty."
He walked up the stairs and I made a run for it. That bastard had her all along. I had to tell the boys. I didn't know where she was just yet but I at least knew with who she was and it scared me. Liam's known for his temper and her mouth doesn't shut up. So, if we don't find her soon, she might be dead. I phoned Jace and told him what I had heard.
"(Greyson) Jace it's me Greyson. You guys were right the son of a bitch has her. He was the one that kidnapped her or had her kidnapped at least. We all know he doesn't do the dirty work!"
"(Jace) We, told you so, we'll start working on location so long. See you soon."
18:
I was still in the darkroom. When was he going to let me go? All I wanted to do was go home I never asked to be part of this shit show. Yet here I was tied up all alone. I heard the door open and saw him coming towards me.
"(Liam) That pretty little face of yours looks sore. Should learn you not to talk back!"
"(Bailey) ........"
"(Liam) What you're not go say anything, speak damnit!"
I tried, I tried so hard but I just couldn't get the words to come out of my mouth. So once again he slapped me. My face was already bruised and sore so he decides to make it even worse.
"(Bailey crying) Please, can you stop I'm begging you? It hurts."
"(Liam) Then speak when I ask of you to speak!"
"(Bailey) I'm sorry."
"(Liam) Don't be sorry, be careful. Now have you thought about our discussion from the other day?"
"(Bailey) Yes, I have."
"(Liam) And?"
"(Bailey) I can't stay with you."
"(Liam) So, you're picking him!"
He started choking me and that was it I felt the life draining from me. Just before I passed out someone came and called him.
"(Liam) We're far from done you hear me! I'll keep you here until you accept my offer and I'll torture you if I have to!"
I cried that's how petrified I was. Where was Greyson and why haven't they come for me? My hands were sore from the rope cutting them. My face hurt like hell and I was struggling to breathe. To crown it all I haven't eaten in days.
I passed out from hunger. I right about now just wished someone would kill me and get it over with because I'd be better off dead the alive in this place.
After hours I opened my eyes a little bit up when someone opened the door. I couldn't see who it was because my body was too weak to do anything.
They cut me lose and picked me up taking me outside. The outside light shocked my eyes since I haven't been outside in so damn long. Who came to safe me and why? I was ready to make peace with the fact that I was dying but here they were saving me.
Greyson's pov
After searching for hours, I remembered we had to take this one guy to Liam at this old abandoned house. It was forgotten in the middle of nowhere far away from everything.
That was it, I wasn't sure if she was there but we had to take our chances. If we were going to find her, we'd have to search any and every abandoned place possible.
We formed a plan before leaving. Jace and Alec were going to take down the guards if there were any. I'd check the perimeter and make sure to distract Liam if I had to and then Michael would go in and check if she was there.
So, we took a 30-minute drive up to this house and executed or plan of action. He went in and came out with her in his arms. The expression on his face was soft.
Whenever he was around her, he was always nasty and cold but now he seemed worried. When he got closer, I could see why. She was beaten so badly I almost didn't recognize her. Her face was all different colors of purple. Her wrist looked sore and she looked weak.
I could see a bruise forming on her neck. When we got home, I was going to see Liam and I swear I was going to kill him. How dare he lift his hands to a woman.
Michael handed her to me in the back seat. We left and all I could do was hold her and feel the anger raging in me. Once we reached the house, I asked Michael to fix her up while I paid Liam a visit.
Honestly, I didn't know what I was expecting or how I was expecting this to go. All I knew was that it all would end in us fighting. How could he stab me in the back like that? What was wrong with him? I reached his house and went inside.
"(Greyson) Liam!"
"(Liam) Greyson so nice to...."
"(Greyson) You fucking bastard how could you? I respected you and in return, you go and stab me in the back. Do you have any idea what you did? Do you have any idea how she looks? She's fucking innocent!!!!!!"
I stormed to him and knocked him to the floor. Once he was on the floor, I punched him some more. He's whole face was bloody but all I saw was red. The guards came and pulled me off him. Thank goodness because if they didn't, I would have killed him.
"(Liam) I deserve that but it's not fair how come you get all the beautiful ones!"
"(Greyson) So, it's about looks now. I've worked with you for 5 years and this is how you repay my hard work! Huh? Tell me did you at least enjoy your time with her."
"(Liam) Yes, I did!"
"(Greyson) You better hope that all you did was kissed her!"
"(Liam) Why does it bother you if things went further?"
"(Greyson) Because she's mine Liam MINE and only I get to do that!"
"(Liam) Chill nothing happened. Look I don't want to be on your bad side we've known each other a very long time let's make amends and forget about this."
"(Greyson) You know what you can forget of? You can forget ever working with me ever again. My services are no longer available to you anymore you understand me. Don't ever call me again because you'll be sorry."
I stormed out and went home. At home, I cleaned my wounds and checked on her. She woke up and you could see she was confused.
"(Bailey) You saved me."
"(Greyson) I had a part in it but the one you should be thanking is Michael. He went in and got you just saying."
"(Bailey) Did he actually help me?"
"(Greyson) Yes, love he's not as tough and mean as he looks, he's got a soft side as well."
"(Bailey) I see."
"(Greyson) How are you feeling?"
"(Bailey) Sore, hungry, thirsty."
"(Greyson) How long ago did you eat or drink something?"
"(Bailey) The day I was kidnapped last why do you think I'm so weak?"
"(Greyson) I'll be right back."
I got her something to eat and drink. I also grabbed something for energy. She finished everything in a question of two minutes. Damn, she must have really been hungry and thirsty. Besides that, I'm glad we got her back.
She looks bad but she's a strong woman she'll recover quickly. That I know for sure she's proven it multiple times before.
19:
It's been a few days since they rescued me and the trauma has been the worst. What more does life want to throw at me? How much more can I take? I've been pretty distant lately.
Since the whole drama I locked myself in my room not saying anything, Greyson has been constantly checking up on me. Making sure I'm okay when in reality I just wanted him to leave me alone.
In times like these I shouldn't be alone because I tend to start thinking and it doesn't end well. I appreciate it that he cares about me or I think so at least but I need time to work through everything.
I got up, showered and got dressed. I have to face reality someday. I was going to walk through that door smiling, just pretending everything is okay when it's not.
"(Bailey) Hey guys."
"(Alex) Good to see your up."
"(Michael) it's rather strange but it's about time."
"(Jace) No need to be a jerk Michael."
"(Bailey) Where's Greyson?"
"(Michael) He's upstairs in the study and don't bother him he's very busy."
"(Jace) That's not...."
"(Bailey) Michael if you stop being a jerk more people will like you."
I turned around and went up to the study. The door was open so I went in and closed it quietly. I had to talk to him, alone. Maybe not the best decision because we both know what can happen. One thing leads to a next.
"(Bailey) Hey."
"(Greyson) You’re up, I'm happy to see you look better."
"(Bailey) Yeah, the swelling is gone now it's just the bruises."
"(Greyson) We'll get you some make up to cover it up with."
"(Bailey) Thanks, but it won't be necessary there starting to get lighter."
He sat with his back to me. I could see he was busy but it's rude to turn your back on someone when their talking to you.
"(Bailey) Greyson."
"(Greyson) Yes Bailey."
"(Bailey) Could you turn around please."
"(Greyson) Once I'm finished I will but I'm too busy. There's a lot to do before we can actually go to London."
"(Bailey) London what?"
"(Greyson) We got to keep on top of our game and besides it's not safe here."
"(Bailey) Yes but can't we go back to…(think) never mind."
"(Greyson) I know you want to go home and I understand."
"(Bailey) But no can do I get it can you please turn around your being rude."
"(Greyson) I'm sorry your welcome to leave."
I kept quiet and slowly walked towards him. I put my hands on his shoulders, I could feel him twitching but still he stayed focused. I was going to make him face me one way or another plus being bad might not be such a bad thing at all.
He was still not turning around so I had to take it up a notch. I moved my hands down and rested them on his lower abs. This gave him shivers all over. Don't ignore it Greyson I know I have your attention.
He stopped for a moment and I thought he was going to do something about me distracting him but he just continued. So, I did the most logical thing and swung his chair around. Now he had no choice but to talk to me.
He got up and gave me this look. I felt his hands on my waist. Now I had his full attention and there was no telling what he could do next.
"(Greyson) We can talk later I'm busy."
"(Bailey) Fine."
He thought I was going to leave, no honey I'm finishing what I started. I'm not a quitter and I'll never be.
"(Greyson) Go now I'm busy, I'm sure I heard the boys telling you that."
"(Bailey) Nope don't recall it."
"(Greyson) Don't play dumb with me we both know you’re not."
"(Bailey) You don't want me to stay because your scared aren't you. Guess you’re not so daring after all."
I turned around but he grabbed my wrist, swung me around and kissed me. I knew it, I knew I had your attention. I worked with a plan. I was going to get him to fall for me and then ask him to take me home. He'd have no choice but to do it.
For the first time in a long time, I actually wanted him to kiss me. I actually wanted this to happen, I've waited so long for this. Just before things got out of hand he stopped.
"(Greyson) We'll resume this later once my works done."
I accepted that and left. The rest of the day was really quiet. The boys were busy packing and at seven Greyson said we had to leave. I wasn't even packed how could we leave.
"(Bailey) But I'm not..."
"(Greyson) Already done."
"(Bailey) How, when?"
"(Greyson) Stop asking questions and let's leave."
We left and had a, 8h52m flight. It felt like we were flying for forever. I was relieved that we left but I also wasn't. What Liam did was outrageous but what he said hit me hard. I don't doubt that he would give me a great future but he's a criminal.
I was also only staying with Greyson and them because they kidnapped me. Soon I'll be free. My thoughts as usual ran through everything from the start until now. My mind was so busy it made me tired and I fell asleep.
Once I woke up, we were busy landing in London. Joys what was going to happen to me here. What kind of trouble was I going to run into next? Funny how I expect something to go wrong before I even know if it will? Anyway, we got off the plane and took the limo.
I couldn't wait to just go home. When I talk about home, I'm referring to the next place we're going to stay. It was kind of chilly out and I didn't have a jacket. Next thing I know Greyson's jacket is on my shoulders. I can't help but find that cute.
A criminal giving someone a jacket because their cold. Maybe he was warming up to me. Ugh why does life have to be full of mysteries. The drive took forever but it was worth it because the view I had was so spectacular. We went inside and dropped our things.
I thought it was only going to be us but someone else pitched up. Someone I knew all too well. It's a very long story though.
"(Greyson) Julian it's been to long since we've done some business."
I stood there stiff and shocked. My while body froze.
"(Julian) Who's this lovely lady?"
"(Greyson) Oh right this is Bailey."
"(Julian) Please to meet you, Bailey. You know your name sounds so familiar. Do I know you?"
"(Bailey) I…I doubt it."
They continued chatting and I went to bed. How was this even possible. Greyson came in and locked the door why only he would know. He, pulled me closer and started kissing me again.
"(Greyson) I believe we have unfinished business."
"(Bailey) I believe so."
Damn him kissing me in the neck felt so good but I'll admit I was distracted.
"(Greyson) Is something wrong."
"(Bailey) No shhh carry on."
"(Greyson) I know your lying to me what's up?"
"(Bailey) It's just all the trauma that's all. Don't stop please let's finish what we started.
He continued but eventually stopped. Why? Because I was too distracted. Maybe i just needed some rest. So, we ended up both falling asleep. I couldn't believe it I saw Julian Sanders in flesh.
20:
Greyson's pov
I couldn't help but notice that something was up. We were in the middle of something but she was distracted. She said she wasn't but I saw it. Everything started the moment she saw Julian. It didn't make sense did she possibly know him?
I got up and went through my usual routine. She seemed distant like she was thinking about something. Anyway, I went to the kitchen to get so coffee. Were, I saw Julian.
"(Greyson) Good morning."
"(Julian) Greyson did you sleep well?"
"(Greyson) Yes and you?"
"(Julian) Yes of course."
"(Greyson) That's good so any jobs the boys and I can do?"
"(Julian) I might have something but I'll let you know. So why are you here anyway?"
"(Greyson) Bailey got kidnapped and we got threats so we decided to leave before one of us got hurt."
"(Julian) I see. I seem to sense that something's up?"
"(Greyson) It's Bailey she seems distracted."
"(Julian) I see, you’re busy falling for her, aren't you?"
"(Greyson) I don't know."
"(Julian) Well don't. Take it from me she can ruin all your hard work just like that."
"(Greyson) I know. So, what if I'm falling."
"(Julian) You know why people like us don't fall. When we, do we think with our hearts not our heads and that's dangerous."
"(Greyson) I don't need you to lecture me. I can make my own decisions."
"(Julian) I know Greyson just think about it okay."
Just than Bailey entered the room in a short black dress. She looked breathtaking to say the least and the bruises on her face weren't as visible as they were just a few days ago.
She looked a lot less troubled, which made me feel better. Maybe Julian was right maybe I was falling but if I was I don't want to ever stop. She makes my day just by walking through the door.
How can someone not love her. She's so beautiful and mysterious at the same time.
"(Greyson) Morning Bailey."
"(Bailey) Morning to both of you."
"(Julian) Of course where are my manners good morning,did you sleep well?"
"(Bailey) Yes thank you."
"(Greyson) Bailey can we have a word alone please?"
"(Bailey) Sure since your asking so nicely."
"(Julian) Greyson before i forget I'm taking the boys with me to meet someone."
"(Greyson) No problem."
This meant we were alone. Only Bailey and I. She gave me this cheeky grin before turning around to leave. Just like that she left me breathless. I couldn't speak I had no words left to say.
Everyone left and I joined her. She was just lying on the bed minding her own business. She didn't even notice me coming in until I pulled her by her feet and turned her around. We were face to face just staring at one another.
"(Greyson) You shouldn't look so damn cute."
"(Bailey) Why Greyson I didn't know you thought I was cute."
"(Greyson) Hey it's not a matter of what I think, it's a matter of what I know."
"(Bailey) I see."
"(Greyson) Don't tell me you don't think your cute."
"(Bailey) You'll never know because then I'd be self-centered."
"(Greyson) What's bad about that?"
"(Bailey) Everything because it will seem like I think a lot about myself."
"(Greyson) No, it wouldn't."
"(Bailey) Yes it would believe me."
She pushed me away and got up.
"(Bailey) It's not nice to tease a lady like that."
"(Greyson) Please if someone's doing the teasing work it's you."
"(Bailey) I'm not teasing you."
"(Greyson) You are. Have you seen that face of yours not to mention your body?"
"(Bailey) Hey you’re not supposed to check me out I'm your hostage not your mistress."
"(Greyson) Well you could be both."
"(Bailey) I'm sorry no can do. It's not who I am."
"(Greyson) Is that so."
"(Bailey) Yes, it is."
"(Greyson) Oh, right I forgot I don't know you that well or very long for that matter."
"(Bailey) Precisely my point."
"(Greyson) How about you keep quiet...."
"(Bailey) No, I won't."
"(Greyson) Just hear me out."
"(Bailey) Fine."
"(Greyson) Like I was saying why don't you keep quiet and use your energy wisely."
"(Bailey) How do you propose I do that."
"(Greyson) Well, you can start by kissing me so that we can continue what we still haven't finished."
"(Bailey) Sounds fun but why should I make the...."
She was asking to many questions and I was getting tired so I just kissed her. I made the move she was shocked but soon she snapped out of it. Our lips moved in sync. It all happened so fast.
We just went with what was happening. Nor me or her tried to stop it, we just left it. Like they all say "go with the flow." What were we doing? Were we even thinking? Why were we doing this? We both know that there's no future for us. She to innocent and I'm a criminal for crying out loud.
After everything I got a phone call from the boys. Michael mentioned something about meeting up with them so that we could get the job quota. I wasn't up to it but as a gang leader it's my duty to be there.
We left and joined them. The guy said something about robbing a jewelry store. It sounded rewarding the only hiccup was that we never actually robbed a jewelry store before. We usually rob banks or do drug deals. That's our main activity ever since we started.
It was a fairly small store so it shouldn't be that difficult. The banks we robbed in the past were way bigger. I agreed to do the job it meant more money for us and potential partners. I was all for it. All the necessary information was handed to me and I was going to read through it as soon as we reached home.
So, the limo escorted us to Julian's place and I got straight to work. If this job was going to successful, I was going to have to go through each detail carefully. It took hours, I wasn't even sure how long I was busy.
Bailey brought me coffee every now and then but eventually stopped. When I finally finished, I saw it was about one in the morning. So, I cleaned up everything and went to bed. When I opened the door, she was fast asleep. She looked like an angel lying there, so peaceful yet so innocent.
The thought of me ruining that scared me. I'm not the best person. I've done some messed up shit in the past. I would never want her to be like me. Maybe but just maybe it's better to let her go but then again, it's too risky. Damn it's though.
21:
I woke up with Greyson's arms wrapped around me. I couldn't help but feel at home. He was bad for me but I didn't care. I was happy to be with him so happy in fact that I forgot I ever wanted to go home.
He's bad for me but yet I want him. Yes, I said it I want him and I don't regret it because no matter what he's always saved me. With him I feel alive. Like I can take on the world without being afraid but I won't ever tell him that.
He probably hates me. He'd find it odd or weird. He was a criminal and I was just a sweet innocent girl bound to ruin everything he's ever worked for. I need someone that will love me, care for me and keep me safe. He could do all that no doubt but I also need someone that's hardworking and he's not that one.
He gets what he wants on a very illegal way. I don't want to run for the rest of my life. Nor do I want to look over my shoulder for any feds. And besides we'll never stay in on place we'll always be over the place. Imagine what my family would say if they had to see me now.
I was busy falling for a criminal for crying out loud. Anyway, I enjoyed the moment for as long as it lasted. Who knows how long I have left and who doesn't want to cuddle with a super, hot guy? He's like off the charts hot.
He woke up and seemed shocked by the way we were laying. I moved to the other side just in case that was what he wanted. I decided it was best to get up and get finished for in case they had to go somewhere. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me causing me to land onto of him.
"(Greyson) You'll leave when i say so."
"(Bailey) But I thought that's what you wanted."
"(Greyson) I never said that."
"(Bailey) I'm sorry. The look you gave me said otherwise."
"(Greyson) I might have looked shocked but it is because I had one heck of a dream."
"(Bailey) I see care to share."
"(Greyson) Rather not."
"(Bailey) Fine, now can I get up I want to finish."
"(Greyson) Why?"
"(Bailey) Don't you have business to do."
"(Greyson) We're only going to check the store out later. By the way you have to stay here."
"(Bailey) Why?"
"(Greyson) You see love they don't know who we are because we always wear masks. You are another story if they see you, they'll know who you are."
"(Bailey) Fine whatever I get it I have to stay here."
"(Greyson) I'm glad you realize that now don't be in a rush. Lie down and relax."
"(Bailey)No I'm going to get ready. I want to get breakfast as well so sorry to burst your bubble."
He kept quiet and I proceeded. Once I was done, I went downstairs and got me some breakfast. I had a plan up my sleeve. When they go to check out the store, I was going try and change my look. You know do make up and so worth.
I was going to make sure that he wouldn't recognize me. He was going to be shocked he might even think I ran away. I'll be smart I'll hide in the room somewhere and just as he's about to freak out I'll come out.
I just want to see what he would do. If he cares about me, he'll truly be worried. The best way to figure out how I was going to handle this situation. If I knew how he felt then maybe things wouldn't be so complicated.
They left and I got to work. Might I say I amazed myself, I didn't even recognize myself. I was proud of my work. I dressed like a real bad chick. Now just to execute my plan.
I hid away and waited for them to return. I got bored and went to sit in the lounge. They soon entered and look confused.
"(Greyson) Excuse me, I think you have to wrong house."
"(Bailey) I don't believe so."
"(Greyson) Can you boys excuse us?"
"(Alec) Should we leave?"
"(Greyson) No we'll talk in the room."
"(Michael) Shout if you need any help."
"(Greyson) Will do."
He led me up to the room and locked the door. He stood in front of me, his eyes darted from my eyes to my lips. Did he even know who I was? Maybe that's why he was looking at my lips. His lips lingered over mine before he whispered sweet nothings.
"(Greyson) You can stick make up on a pretty face but it doesn't change who you are."
"(Bailey) What are you talking about?"
"(Greyson) Let's get real you might fool them but you’re not fooling me."
"(Bailey) I don't think we're on the same page."
"(Greyson) Job well done. I know it's you Bailey but this look can actually work out in public."
"(Bailey) You see I can cover up my real identity if I want to."
"(Greyson) Now you going to make me wait or what?"
"(Bailey) If you can excuse me I have to come back as Bailey so I got work to do."
"(Greyson) Yeah your right."
I walked away with my hips swaying extra just to tease him. I mean I have to it's part of my plan to get him to fall for me. Anyway, I cleaned my face and changed before joining them.
"(Michael) Real smart turning up. Has your escape attempt failed?"
"No, I'll have you know that I was outside under the tree in the shade."
"(Michael) Good, you know that we'll always find you right?"
"(Bailey) Yes I am aware besides it's not like I can go anywhere anyway."
"(Michael) It's good to know that you realize that."
"(Bailey) Whatever just shut up."
The rest of the day was pretty quiet not much went on. I was on my way to bed when I decided to check up Greyson. Since we arrived in London, he's been so busy. He was working as usual and I happen to run into Julian.
"(Julian) Bailey, right?"
"(Bailey) Yes and your Julian."
"(Julian) I feel like I know you from somewhere."
"(Bailey)Yes, you do, don't you remember we used to attend the same school a long time ago."
"(Julian) Ah yes you were the quiet girl in the corner."
"(Bailey) You came up to me and since that day we were friends. That was of course until you had to leave for..."
"(Julian) Rehab, I remember."
"(Bailey) I never heard from you, I thought.... I thought you were...."
Fight the tears and stay strong Bailey. You can do this. This was your shot to get the answers you always wanted.
"(Julian) You thought I was what.....dead?"
"(Bailey) Yes you disappeared and left me alone with everyone, I was marked a freak."
"(Julian) I'm so sorry I did that but I have my reasons."
"(Bailey) And they are?"
"(Julian) I tell you what I'll take you out to lunch one day and explain everything."
"(Bailey) If Greyson allows you."
"(Julian) Why would that be a problem?"
"(Bailey) He's afraid I might escape or get killed because of the resent events that took place."
"(Julian) I see I'll talk to him. Sleep well."
"(Bailey) You to."
He got up and kissed me on my forehead like he used to. It brought back so many memories and left me with so many unanswered questions. I went to bed straight after that and saw Greyson waiting there.
"(Greyson) See you and Julian were talking."
"(Bailey) Yes."
"(Greyson) About what?"
"(Bailey) Does it matter?"
"(Greyson) Yes it does."
"(Bailey) Why?"
"(Greyson) Because."
"(Bailey) Because why Greyson it's none of your business."
"(Greyson) Because your mine! And no else can have you not today, tomorrow or ever."
I was shocked. I couldn't think of anything to do I just stood there flabbergasted. Did he just say that I was his and that no one except him is allowed to have me, what just happened?
22:
I was still shocked from last night. He actually admitted to not wanting to share me. I was hoping that Julian could talk to him, I really wanted answers. I needed them so that i could get some closure.
I rolled over just to find that the bed was empty. Where did he go? When I got up, I want to get dressed but couldn't find any of my clothes. What was I going to do I couldn't walk around in my pajamas? That's when I saw it one of Greyson's shirts, I picked it up and put it on.
After putting on the shirt I went downstairs and got some coffee. It would be mean of me not to take a cup to Greyson. So, I made one extra and took it to him. As per usual he was so busy working.
"(Bailey) Morning Greyson."
"(Greyson) Morning Bailey, need anything?"
"(Bailey) No why?"
"(Greyson) Then why are you up here?"
"(Bailey) Am I not allowed to bring you coffee?"
"(Greyson) Of course."
"(Bailey) Here's your coffee since I'm not welcome."
"(Greyson) Thanks, that's my shirt you’re wearing."
"(Bailey) Yes, I know I don't have clothes to wear so I..."
"(Greyson) So, you thought you could wear my shirts?"
"(Bailey) I'm sorry I'll take it off."
"(Greyson) No don't."
"(Bailey) I'm confused should I or should I not."
"(Greyson) You shouldn't I like it on you."
At this point he turned around and I looked to the ground. I could feel his thumb gently flicking my chin up. This made me look straight into those eyes, they would be the death of me.
"(Bailey) Cray..."
I couldn't say anything because he pulled me closer and kissed me.
"(Greyson) I like it when you call me Cray."
"(Bailey) That only happened because you cut me off."
"(Greyson) Doesn't matter I still like hearing it come from your pretty little mouth."
"(Bailey) You didn't just say that."
"(Greyson) Yes, I did."
What was going on was me being in his shirt affecting him that badly? Must say I quite like it then. I was getting under his skin.
"(Bailey) I should probably go and shower."
"(Greyson) Leaving so soon love?"
"(Bailey) Yes Cray."
I got up pushed him backwards and left. I knew he was staring at me but chose to ignore it. It really didn't matter. I got in the shower and finished up, once I dressed, I switched the TV on in the room. There was no way I was walking in front of the boys in nothing but Greyson's shirt.
They would just have something to say especially the arrogant asshole Michael. I don't know why or what I did but ever since we met, he never liked me? He's always had something against me. Anyway, I was watching movies when Greyson came in.
He took off his shirt and tossed it on the floor. Why no one knows but he did. He soon came out of the walk, in closet with a clean one. I couldn't help but check him out he just had one perfect body. I'd never admit that though because he probably wouldn't like it.
He caught me looking at him and gave me a smirk.
"(Greyson) Like what you see love."
"(Bailey) What I was looking at the TV."
"(Greyson) And I started reading books."
"(Bailey) Really?"
"(Greyson) No love I know you were checking me out admit it."
"(Bailey) I will do no such thing."
I got up and stopped in front of him. Was probably a bad idea but hey life is filled with them so what the heck. He grabbed my waist tight and turned me around until my back was facing the bed.
We both went tumbling backwards before he kissed me. His hands moved the shirt I was wearing up uncovering my legs. The cold air wrapped around them but I didn't mind his touch made up for it.
The touch of his fingertips felt good to be honest. Maybe he was getting in my head. What if this was his way of getting me to never leave?
I wanted to stop so bad but I couldn't. I had to make him fall for me. We were interrupted by Jace knocking on the door. Just like that he left me lying on that bed alone.
I returned to my movie and didn't give it much thought. He was a gang leader for crying out loud and I was just another normal girl.
I didn't matter to him the only reason he said what he did was because he wanted me to stay here. He came into the room and gave me some of my clean clothes.
"(Greyson) Get dressed."
"(Bailey) Why??"
"(Greyson) You’re going out."
"(Bailey) With who?"
I was scared because the last time I went out it was with Liam before I got kidnapped.
"(Greyson) With Julian."
I almost fell over when he said that. Did Julian actually manage to get it right? Did he actually convince Greyson? That was the first. I couldn't help but realize that Greyson seemed kind of angry and upset at the same time.
Why though was it because he didn't trust Julian? Was it because he thought I would escape? Or was it because of our little conversation of last night?
I got dressed and left with Julian. I was finally going to get the answers I've been waiting for, for so long. I tried to focus on that but I couldn't help remembering the look on Greyson's face. Goss why did everything have to be so complicated. Why does he have to be so difficult?
I'm not his girlfriend so why worry about me going out?
"(Julian) You haven't said a word this whole ride, something up?"
"(Bailey) Missing home that's all."
"(Julian) You sure?"
"(Bailey) Why wouldn't I be?"
"(Julian) Just making sure. You know you can talk to me anytime, right?"
"(Bailey) No I don't know that Julian since you just left and walked out of my life."
That was it tears streamed down my face. I just couldn't hold them anymore I've held them for too long. He gave me a look before hugging me tight. The comfort was just what I needed right now.
"(Julian) I know I just left and I regret it everyday trust me."
23:
He regretted ever leaving. Well, that made me feel better and it made up for just leaving me without any explanation.
"(Julian) B......I've never been good."
I couldn't help but note that he had a sad expression on his face.
"(Bailey) Julian, you're scaring me. Talking like that."
"(Julian) No don't be scared."
"(Bailey) Why are you saying you've never been good?"
"(Julian) Because B I've done so messed up shit.....that you don't know of."
"(Bailey) Julian talk to me I don't understand."
"(Julian) No not here."
"(Bailey) Why not?"
"(Julian) If I remember I said we would have lunch then I'd tell you everything."
"(Bailey) Yes but I want to know now. Please Julian after everything I think I deserve answers."
"(Julian) You do and you'll get them I promise."
"(Bailey) No don't promise anything you don't get to do that."
"(Julian) B I know I messed up but you'll understand later."
We left to some expensive cafe down town. It seemed cozy at first until I realized that gangs hang out here. Not that I could expect of him to take me out into the open. I was a hostage, or until they closed the case. Now I'm just some run away teen with issues.
We went to sit in the corner and ordered some coffee. He was surely going to tell me now. I wanted answers and waiting any longer wasn't an option.
"(Bailey) Can I have answers now?"
"(Julian) Sure, where do I start?"
"(Bailey) At the beginning. Why did you have to leave?"
"(Julian) Because I....I was an alcoholic and a drug addict"
"(Bailey) What?"
I was shocked. Out of all of the people I didn't think he would be capable of something like that.
"(Julian) Look the neighborhood I lived in wasn't all that great."
"(Bailey) Why did you never tell me?"
I must admit I was hurt. What else could I feel he didn't trust me enough to share this with me.
"(Julian) Because your too fragile to hurt."
"(Bailey) Fragile that's a very big word coming from you. How dare you think I'm too fragile! Don't I deserve the truth!"
"(Julian) B don't yell. You're clearly hurt so you're acting on that."
"(Bailey) No Julian I'm not."
I'm not going to admit to him that his right. I wasn't going to give him that satisfaction.
"(Julian) I didn't come and say goodbye because I knew you'd never forgive me."
"(Bailey) I would of Julian I thought you were dead because of you just taking off. My heart was shattered."
"(Julian) B I'm truly sorry for that."
"(Bailey) You don't seem to get it do you."
"(Julian) Get what?"
"(Bailey) My heart was shattered Julian because you were the one person I loved. I loved you more than myself."
"(Julian) You loved me. Oh, B that's sweet but no one can love me not even my own parents."
He looked sad, broken, distant and maybe a little shattered.
"(Bailey) But I did, I still love you, Julian."
"(Julian) Can't be."
"(Bailey) It can you just don't want it to because you feel you don't deserve it."
"(Julian) I don't B and I don't deserve someone as good as you do."
"(Bailey) We all make mistakes Julian but that doesn't make us bad people."
"(Julian) Would you still believe that if I told you, I've robbed banks, killed people, kidnapped people, dealt with drug and hurt others?"
"(Bailey) It doesn't matter. Even though you've done some bad things I still believe you're good because under all of this there is an innocent Julian."
"(Julian) Oh B you've always seen the good in everyone."
"(Bailey) I try."
After he explained everything, I felt a little better. I at least knew he was alive and I got some answers. We sat there drinking cup after cup and just chatting like we used to do.
He asked the waiter for the bill so we could pay. It was now round eight at night. Goss we never realized how much time went by, we were so busy talking.
The ride back was quiet. We pulled up to the mansion and he opened the door for me.
"(Julian) Hey B wait."
"(Bailey) Aren't you coming in?"
"(Julian) No, I've got business to do."
"(Bailey) Oh that's a shame, I really enjoyed today or most of it."
"(Julian) I hope I gave you all the answers you needed."
"(Bailey) You did thank you."
He pulled me in closer to him and gave me a tight squeeze. I was on my way in before he kissed me on my forehead.
"(Julian) Goodbye B I'll see you later alligator. Maybe we can watch a movie when I get back."
"(Bailey) Bye Julian. I'd like that."
He got in the car left and I went inside. There was no one around so I went upstairs. As per usual Greyson was busy working again.
What was he busy with? It took up all his time. I literally see him when he gets into bed and when I bring him coffee. I go to bed with him and wake up in an empty bed.
"(Bailey) Hey."
"(Greyson) How was your whatever it was with Julian?"
"(Bailey) It was nice I got my answers. What you so busy on?"
"(Greyson) A business proposition."
"(Bailey) Oh I see. Guess I'll go and get into bed then."
"(Greyson) I won't be long."
"(Bailey) No, it's fine take, your time."
I put on his shirt from earlier and went to get some coffee. It was chilly not going to0 lie. So, I made the coffee, when I turned around, he was standing there.
"(Greyson) Why my shirt?"
"(Bailey) Why not?"
"(Greyson) Don't you have PJ's?"
"(Bailey) Yes, but why wear them if I can wear this shirt?"
"(Greyson) You're complicated."
"(Bailey) No, I'm not. Didn't you have work to do?"
"(Greyson) Yes but it can wait."
"(Bailey) Go and finish your work. I want to go to bed."
"(Greyson) Can arrange that very quickly. We are alone the boys went out."
"(Bailey) Greyson! No, I didn't mean it like that."
"(Greyson) Oh so you don't want to go to bed then?"
"(Bailey) I do but not with you."
"(Greyson) Why not it will be fun, now wouldn't it?"
"(Bailey) Greyson!"
"(Greyson) I like that but turn up the volume."
"(Bailey) Why are you smirking. This isn't funny or fair."
He took my cup put it down and picked me up onto the counter.
"(Bailey) Now what?"
"(Greyson) Now you just kiss me back that's all."
So, I did. I kissed him, his hands were on my thighs and mine was in his hair. I couldn't believe I was doing this again. Don't I ever learn. His hands moved up higher uncovering my warm legs. I felt the coldness of the counter under me but it was okay.
One thing led to a next and now I'm busy falling asleep in my kidnapper’s arms how ironic?
24:
This morning was different from all the others. I woke up next to Greyson instead of an empty bed. He looked so perfect when he was asleep. For some reason I've always liked guys with messy hair. It's something about it that makes them look extra handsome.
I was just lying there looking at the ceiling when I heard him get up.
"(Bailey) Why so rushed?"
"(Greyson) I've got work to do."
"(Bailey) Such as?"
"(Greyson) None of your business."
"(Bailey) Why so rude?"
"(Greyson) Why are you asking so many questions?"
"(Bailey) Am I not allowed to?"
"(Greyson) Don't answer my question with a question!"
"(Bailey) Look if you're going to be rude to me rather not talk to me!"
"(Greyson) What's your problem?"
"(Bailey) I don't have one you're the one that got up in a bad mood!"
"(Greyson) Don't yell at me!"
"(Bailey) Stop being rude then I won't need to!"
"(Greyson) There we go again with the yelling. Why not just wake everyone up!"
"(Bailey) You know what fuck you."
"(Greyson) Not what you said last night."
"(Bailey) How dare you!"
"(Greyson) Look love I can be very mean so don't test me!"
"(Bailey) It's pointless trying to understand you!"
"(Greyson) What did you say!"
"(Bailey) It's pointless trying...."
I couldn't even finish my sentence because he wouldn't let me. Why because he was towering over me and we were kissing. Funny how just a second ago we were fighting and now were here making out.
He had a very funny way of showing his anger. I was going to resist. He doesn't have the right to yell at me and then kiss me hoping I would forget.
"(Bailey) Cray."
"(Greyson) What Bailey?"
"(Bailey) I'm not doing this."
"(Greyson) Stop resisting and go with it."
"(Bailey) No I won't, I refuse."
"(Greyson) Then I'll have to make you."
"(Bailey) You don't have to do anything."
"(Bailey) You're wasting your breath because I'm not going to listen to you."
And he was right. I said I didn't want to do this but yet he showed me he'll go against my word. I gave him one shove and got up.
"(Bailey) I believe you've got work to do."
"(Greyson) Yes but it can wait. You really going to be this way love?"
"(Bailey) Yes, you were rude. Face it."
I got up and head for the shower. I could feel his eyes on me all the way.
"(Bailey) You can stop staring now."
"(Greyson) I wasn't staring."
"(Bailey) Yes, right and I'm not a hostage."
"(Greyson) Don't get smart with me."
"(Bailey) Whatever."
I closed the door and showered. After finishing up I heard him calling me downstairs.
"(Greyson) You ready?"
"(Bailey) Yeah why?"
"(Greyson) Good because you’re coming with us."
"(Bailey) Where to?"
"(Greyson) You'll see. It's for business."
"(Bailey) Is something bad going to happen to me?"
"(Greyson) I won't let anything happen to you I promise."
He took me by the hand and lead me outside to the limo. Why did I always have to go with them when they go and do work? Haven't I proven that I can be trusted? Come to think of it I had forgotten about the money I had.
I had to check if it was still there. Never know I might need it in the long run. We drove for what felt like hours before we arrived. I saw Julian standing off in the distance. I wanted to greet but Greyson was going to say something I know it.
"(Greyson) Julian, nice to see you again."
"(Julian) Greyson, how have you been?"
"(Greyson) Great I can't wait to finish this once and for all."
"(Julian) Tell me about it."
"(Greyson) I don't like the idea of it being so quiet."
"(Julian) What is Greyson scared of a few cops?"
"(Greyson) I've always been scared of losing everything. I've worked way too hard. If I go to jail, I'll spend a lifetime there."
"(Julian) And why would that be?"
"(Greyson) I've done lots of bad things enough to lock me up for so long."
"(Julian) I get it that you're scared but you don't have to be. Just be careful that's all."
Soon I saw the people arrive. They had a girl with them. She looked petrified. What happened to her? Did they hurt her? Or worse? Damn Bailey don't think things like that, you're scaring yourself.
I heard them talking but I wasn't sure about what.
"(Greyson) What are we supposed to do with her?"
"(Random guy) Keep her locked up until we tell you."
"(Greyson) Okay. Waiting for ransom?"
"(Random guy) Yes, she's got rich parents and besides daddy owns us now, doesn't he?"
"(Girl) ......."
"(Random guy) Doesn't he!!!"
"(Bailey) There's no need to yell at her you jerk. She's scared!"
"(Greyson) Keep quiet. You're not part of this."
"(Bailey) Don't tell me to keep quiet!"
"(Greyson) Michael tape her mouth please."
"(Michael) On it. Doesn't mean because he's screwing around with you that you can say what you want princess."
"(Bailey) How dare....."
I couldn't even finish my sentence because he taped my mouth. What is it with these people and taping things? I swear they enjoy doing it, it's like a hobby to them. After this Michael stayed there not moving a muscle.
"(Michael) Don't think I'm doing you a favor. I'm doing this for Greyson."
Whatever jerk. As if I care for who you're doing it. They took the girl and put her in the car. Was she really coming with us? That means he's got two hostages now. This guy just seems to like kidnapping people.
He came over to me and was about to take me to the car when we heard someone yelling. Everybody turned around and faced the person that was busy yelling.
"(Liam) If I can't have her then neither can you!"
"(Greyson) What are you going on about Liam? She is mine and there's nothing you can do!"
"(Greyson) Oh yeah want to bet."
That's when I heard it. A gunshot as clear as day. Everyone ducked except Greyson, Liam and I. Who was shot? Stupid question because I fell and Greyson caught me. When I looked down, I saw the red mark on my dress.
Liam just shot me in my stomach. All I could think was I'm going to die.
"(Greyson) It's okay love. You’re going to be okay it's just a little blood."
"(Bailey) Are you sure because it looks like a lot."
Liam dropped the gun when he realized he shot me and Jace got hold of him. Beating him senseless. What was going on?
"(Bailey) Greyson."
"(Greyson) No love don't say anything you're going to be okay."
"(Bailey) If I don't make it tell my loved ones I love them and it will be okay."
"(Greyson) Bailey, you're scaring me don't say that."
My eyes shut closed and all I could think of was the pain and that it would end soon. I could hear Greyson yelling at me to stay with him. How could I, my body didn't have any energy left to fight.
"(Greyson) Bailey please stay with me!"
"(Bailey) You promised."
"(Greyson) I know I'm sorry Bailey. You're going to be okay."
He broke a promise and I'm going to die. Is this really the way things should end?
25:
Greyson's pov
I really thought she was going to die. She laid there in pain and I couldn't do anything to help her. All I thought was how she was bleeding out and how I didn't want to lose her.
"(Greyson) Don't just stand there, you idiots help me, she going to die!"
"(Alec) So what she is of no value to us!"
"(Greyson) You know what fuck you, Alec! Jace help me!"
"(Jace) What should I do?"
"(Greyson) Help me stop the bleeding damnit!"
"(Jace) How?"
"(Greyson) Get the medical supplies in the car, I don't know"
"(Jace) On it."
"(Greyson) Hold on love."
"(Bailey) Am I going to die Greyson?"
"(Greyson) Not if I can help it."
"(Bailey) If I don't make it tell my loved ones I'll always love them."
"(Greyson) No Bailey I won't because I'm not letting you die today."
"(Bailey) Cray if it's your time then it's your time. You can't change faith."
"(Greyson) I can and I will watch me. You're not dying today."
"(Bailey) Give up Cray, I've made peace with it."
"(Greyson) Michael go and check where Jace is!"
"(Michael) No Cray I'm with Alec on this one. She can die for all I care!"
"(Greyson) Fine fuck you both, I'll show you."
"(Michael) What will you show us?"
"(Greyson) Oh, don't you worry."
"(Michael) You know what doesn't mean if you're the leader you get to call all the shots!"
"(Greyson) Is that so well if I recall I started this gang, I recruited you so technically I do call the shots. Remember why you're here, if it weren't for me, you'd be dead by now so show some fucking respect won't you!"
"(Michael) Whatever. Do us all a favor and stop acting so big!"
"(Greyson) Unlike you, I don't have to act!"
"(Jace) Sorry, I took so long."
"(Greyson) Finally. What took you so long?"
"(Jace) Long story. I'm going to need you to put pressure on that wound so that we can get it to stop bleeding. If it doesn't, she'll lose too much blood and we can't give her a blood transfusion."
"(Greyson) And if we can't, she'll die."
"(Jace) Exactly."
We got the blood to stop with great difficulty. We managed to save her. I had to deal with Michael and Alec now. In the world, I grew up you follow orders when there given. Even if you don't like them, It's part of the job.
I picked her up and we all head home. As soon as we got there, I put her in bed and got the other girl. She looked so scared and seemed distant. Why though she didn't have to be? After I Took her up to a room and locked her in, I went to have a little chat with Michael and Alec.
As usual, it ended in a fight and I through some punches. No one disrespects me and gets away with it. I checked on Bailey and went to the other girl.
"(Greyson) How are you?"
"(Caroline) Next question."
"(Greyson) Look I'm sorry, I never meant for this to happen."
"(Caroline) Do you really expect me to believe that bullshit?"
"(Greyson) Your choice sugar. Look don't act wise. The last girl that tried that ended up dead."
"(Caroline) What?"
"(Greyson) Want a drink?"
"(Caroline) Only if you promise not to drug me."
"(Greyson) I won't you can trust me."
"(Caroline) Fine bring it on them."
So, I went and got some drinks. She looked less scared now.
"(Greyson) Good to see you haven't tried escaping."
"(Caroline) Why would I? It's not like I can go anywhere."
"(Greyson) That is also true."
After a while, I thought it would be wise to just finish the bottle. At this rate, we're heading that way. So, I got the bottle and we drank some more. I went to check on Bailey while Caroline was showering. She looked so peaceful.
"(Bailey) Cray."
"(Greyson) You alright?"
"(Bailey) Well if you call being in pain alright then yes."
"(Greyson) I'll go and get you some painkillers."
"(Bailey) Thanks, but if I drink them now, I'll sleep again."
"(Greyson) It's okay you need to rest."
I got the painkillers and gave her some. It wasn't even long after she took them that she fell asleep. Meanwhile, I went back to Caroline.
"(Greyson) I'm back want some more booze?"
"(Caroline) How about we skip the drinking and watch a movie or something?"
"(Greyson) Or something? Like what?"
"(Caroline) I don't know use your imagination."
I knew exactly what she was suggesting. I couldn't, or could I? No that would be so wrong of me I can't sleep with Bailey, start to care and then just sleep with someone else. Would it be such a bad thing though? Bailey is only a hostage after all. Fuck it If something happens it happens, I'm not bound to stop something good from happening. No Greyson get the fuck out of there you can't hurt Bailey like that.
"(Greyson) I should go."
"(Caroline) So soon. Come on please stay a little longer."
"(Greyson) I'll see you tomorrow."
She pulled me back and kissed me. What was I supposed to do pull away? That would have been the right thing to do but no I had to give in. I had to be weak. She was one woman, how could I not handle her? I'm usually good at keeping control.
One thing is for sure is it all went down the damn drain when she pushed me backward. I fell on the bed and there I laid like a helpless puppy. Damnit Greyson get yourself together, don't do this think of the amount of pain it would cause Bailey.
Too late, she was straddling me now. How was I going to tell her to stop? She wasn't going to listen to me. She kissed me in my neck and it sent shivers down my spine. It felt good, getting all this attention at once. Her lips moved to my jawline and then to my mouth. This was it I was surely going to do something I was going to regret.
Things were getting heated and very quickly. She started tugging at my shirt. What was I supposed to do? I couldn't just back out, could I? One thing led to the next and soon we both were breathless. I got up and dressed halfway to go outside. I needed some fresh air after what just happened. So, I smoked and went inside. I wanted to get into bed next to Bailey but I felt too guilty so just went and slept next to Caroline instead.
26:
I woke up in lots of pain and an empty bed. Where was he and why didn't he come to bed last night? I got up and went to the office but he wasn't there. As I went upstairs, I saw one door, in particular, that was slightly opened.
I wish I had never gone near that door because when I opened it, I saw him lying in her arms. That bastard how could he. It felt like someone had just shot me in my heart with an arrow. Just yesterday he was going on about not wanting to lose me and now this. What the fuck was wrong with him?
I just turned around and went to the lounge. I didn't want to sleep in that bed anymore, I couldn't bare the idea of what I just saw. I put the tv on and watched a movie or the beginning because I fell asleep.
Sleeping felt better than remembering the pain I felt, physically and mentally. How could he do that? What was I expecting he's a gang leader, not prince charming? Being loyal does not exactly fit the description of Greyson. Everyone knows people like him are players.
They're ruthless and careless, to say the least. No one matters to them not even someone like me. Maybe Alec and Michael were right maybe I should have died instead. Would hurt a lot less than this? I felt the presence of someone and got a fright. Once I opened my eyes, I saw Julian sitting there with a cup of coffee.
"(Julian) You look like you need it."
"(Bailey) Tell me about it, I feel like total shit at this point."
"(Julian) Well, you are in pain so one can understand."
"(Bailey) Way to state the obvious.
"(Julian) Hey don't get fuzzy with me."
"(Bailey) I'm not."
"(Julian) You so are just drink your coffee and stop arguing."
"(Bailey) Fine whatever."
I enjoyed my coffee when Greyson came over to me. He took me by the arm and lead me upstairs.
"(Greyson) How you feeling."
"(Bailey) I'm in pain Greyson what do you expect?"
"(Greyson) Is something wrong?"
"(Bailey) No why?"
"(Greyson) It's just you usually call me Cray."
"(Bailey) And?"
"(Greyson) And you just called me Greyson."
"(Bailey) Look Cray I'm fine okay, just in pain but fine."
"(Greyson) You sure?"
"(Bailey) Yeah, positive."
I turned around and left going back to the lounge. I couldn't tell him about what I saw. I continued watching a movie and the rest left to go and do some job. The only one’s left were Greyson and I. How convenient, joys. I felt better and had no pain for about two hours now.
Crayon came up to me and gave me this cheeky look. I knew that look all too well.
"(Greyson) What do you say we do something fun, it's only us"
"(Bailey) I'm already doing something."
"(Greyson) Come on Bailey."
He pretty much didn't give me a choice because he pulled me up and we went upstairs. I really wasn't in the mood for this right now. Did he really think I was fine with this? Did he really expect me to sleep with him after what I saw earlier?
How dare he assume that I want to do this right now. I was trying my best to slow him down. So that he wouldn't reach the room but I was too late. We reached the room and he locked the door behind me. Come on Bailey do something for crying out loud. He can't just sleep with her and then you have to pretend that you're fine with it when you’re not.
I wasn't even fine with this one bit. His lips collided with mine and I couldn't resist. Then came his touch which literally had me under a spell. Damn, this guy was good, where did he learn all of this. As he placed kisses on my neck, he whispered something.
"(Greyson) I just need one taste."
One taste for what? It literally didn't make sense. My thoughts were soon interrupted with him whispering something else.
"(Greyson) One taste is enough to make one addicted. You know that's all it took one taste and now I can't get enough of you."
Finally, my plan was working, I was getting him to fall for me. All that was needed now was time. I just needed faith to take its turn. Soon I'll be on my way home mark my words that's if I to don't fall.
He proceeded to kiss me some more but somehow, I just wished that he would stop. I honestly didn't have the energy to do this right now.
"(Bailey) Cray."
"(Greyson) Shhh go with it."
"(Bailey) Greyson. What if I don't want to?"
"(Greyson) Come on love we both know you want this as bad as I do."
"(Bailey) Well, maybe you're wrong."
"(Greyson) Nonsense."
"(Bailey) Can we not do this right now?"
"(Greyson) How about we do it now, that sounds better."
"(Bailey) Well, I don't want to and you can't force me to do something I don't want to."
"(Greyson) For real now what's going on?"
My voices in my head were screaming nothing but my brain decided to tell the truth.
"(Bailey) You want to know what's going on?"
"(Greyson) Yes, please do enlighten me."
Don't you dare say it, Bailey.
"(Bailey) What's going on is you sleeping with her Greyson."
"(Greyson) How did you know?"
"(Bailey) One you slept next to her while she was completely naked. Two it doesn't take a genius to figure out what was happening there."
"(Greyson) Look let me just explain. We were drinking when she got on top of me kissing me. Then it kind of sort of just happened."
"(Bailey) You know what that sounds like to me?"
"(Greyson) No."
"(Bailey) Complete bullshit. Admit it you wanted her the moment you laid eyes on her."
"(Greyson) That's not true and you know that."
"(Bailey) I saw the way you looked at her it's the same way you look at me Greyson."
"(Greyson) What are you talking about?"
"(Bailey) You looked at her with pure lust in your eyes. I bet you couldn't wait to jump in bed with her, could you?"
"(Greyson) Listen to yourself. Do you hear how you sound?"
"(Bailey) Like a normal person!"
"(Greyson) You sound delusional. Seems like those painkillers are going to your head."
"(Bailey) How dare you!"
"(Greyson) How dare I, I'm not the one assuming fucked up shit am I?"
"(Bailey) So that's what it is just some fucked up shit!"
"(Greyson) Why does it bother you so much that I slept with her?"
"(Bailey) I see what's going on here, you're guilty and now you're spinning it around making me the guilty one."
"(Greyson) Answer my question, Bailey!"
"(Bailey) You know what fuck you Greyson you will not blame me!"
"(Greyson) Oh, you'd love to just admit it."
"(Bailey) I won't admit anything."
"(Greyson) Just answer my question, Bailey."
"(Bailey) It bothers me because I care Greyson, happy now?"
"(Greyson) You care about me?"
"(Bailey) That's what I said."
"(Greyson) I don't need you to care for me. I can look out for myself."
"(Bailey) Fine, I'll stop caring since that's what you want!"
I turned around and left. It's like every time we speak, we have to always end up fighting. Why can't he just be peaceful and kind? Why do we always have to end things this way?
27:
It's been three days since I last spoke to Greyson. After our fight the other night I just needed some time to cool off. Meanwhile, he was chatting her up. How could he think for one moment that I was fine with this?
I haven't really spent much time around the guys lately. Everyone hated me, the worst of all is I didn't even ask to be here. They were the ones that took me and now I should pay the price. The only one that probably still liked me was Jace.
I wasn't planning on going anywhere but Julian told me to get up. Did he really expect me to go out? I looked terrible and only wanted to sleep.
"(Julian) Come get dressed."
"(Bailey) Why?"
"(Julian) We're going out."
"(Bailey) Julian, I don't feel like going anywhere."
"(Julian) I'm not taking no for an answer."
"(Bailey) You'll just have to."
"(Julian) Get dressed."
Maybe going out wouldn't be such a bad idea, it's better than staying here with everyone.
"(Bailey) Fine."
"(Julian) Knew you'd give in someday."
"(Bailey) Is that so?"
"(Julian) Yes, it is."
"(Bailey) Whatever."
So, I got dressed and we went downstairs. We were about to leave but of course, Greyson had to say something.
"(Greyson) Where do you think you're going?"
"(Julian) She's going with me."
"(Greyson) No, she's not."
"(Julian) It's not open for discussion."
"(Greyson) I said she's not going she's staying here."
"(Julian) So that you all can treat her like trash, I don't think so."
"(Greyson) Excuse me?"
"(Julian) You heard me."
"(Greyson) Who the fuck do you think you are talking to me like that!"
"(Bailey) Come, ignore him."
"(Greyson) Bailey if you know what's good for you, you'd turn around right now!"
"(Bailey) Fuck you!"
"(Greyson) Wouldn't you like that."
"(Bailey) You know what I would like?"
"(Greyson) No please do tell us."
"(Bailey) I would like it if you fucked off and let me go home!"
"(Greyson) You know what I've tried my best to make this as nice as possible!"
"(Bailey) Well, you failed terrible because you're a jerk."
I took Julian's hand in mine and left. I heard him yelling but you know what screw him and his messed, up ways.
"(Greyson) Bailey get back here."
We went to the park and spent hours there. I used to enjoy parks when I was younger. It used to be me and Julian's favorite place. I remember him always taking me there whenever I was sad. After the park, we got some lunch.
He definitely knew what I needed because after our day out I felt better. We went back home and Greyson was waiting with one angry expression on his face.
"(Greyson) You room now!"
"(Bailey) No."
He grabbed me by my arm and marched up the stairs. How dare he treat me like trash and expect me to talk to him? Who gives him the right? One thing is for sure I don't have anything to say to him so he's just going to waste his breath.
"(Greyson) Who gives you the right to just run off?"
"(Bailey) Who gives you the right to treat me like trash?"
"(Greyson) Stop answering my question with a question."
"(Bailey) I'll do what I want to you're not my boss!"
"(Greyson) You seem to think you're really big!"
"(Bailey) No, I don't! Seems like all you can do is fight!"
"(Greyson) Stop crying please."
"(Bailey) No Greyson. No one’s ever treated me so poorly."
"(Greyson) Well, I'm sorry I'm not that perfect."
"(Bailey) No one said anything about being perfect!"
"(Greyson) I said stop crying."
"(Bailey) Then stop treating me like trash."
He just stood there not saying anything. Did I actually get it right to make him speechless?
"(Greyson) I'm sorry."
Did he said sorry or did I hear wrong? I wasn't sure because it came out more like a whisper more than anything else.
"(Bailey) What did you say?"
"(Greyson) I said sorry."
"(Bailey) Did you actually apologize?"
"(Greyson) Yes, is it that hard to believe?"
"(Bailey) It is."
"(Greyson) I guess I deserve that."
"(Bailey) I guess."
He grabbed me and kissed me. This wasn't how I planned things to go. So much passion went into that kiss.
Funny how things work with us. One moment we are fighting and the next we're kissing. What can I say I guess it's kind of our thing? Unfortunately, he wasn't going to get that satisfaction.
"(Bailey) Greyson."
"(Greyson) What Bailey?"
"(Bailey) I'm not going to let you do this."
"(Greyson) Why?"
"(Bailey) You can't fight with me and expect me to forgive you just like that."
"(Greyson) Really are we going to do this right now."
"(Bailey) Yes, because we have to because I'm sick and tired of this game you’re playing."
"(Greyson) I'm not playing a game so I don't know what you're talking about."
"(Bailey) I'm done."
Like before I turned around and walked away. I'd give in eventually but just not now. He had to be thought a lesson. He had to learn to respect things if it's of value. I went to the lounge and watched a movie.
The girl Crayon's been fooling around with joined me. I tried my best to ignore her and I hoped she'd get the message but she didn't, clearly, I wasn't making it clear enough for her to understand.
"You know nothing's going on between you know me and him."
"(Bailey whispers) Doubt it."
"(Caroline) If we're going to sort things out you got to speak up."
"(Bailey) Is there really nothing going on?"
"(Caroline) Yes Bailey."
"(Bailey) How do you know my name?"
"(Caroline) Firstly, it's all name Greyson uses around here and secondly he mumbled it in his sleep the first night I met him."
"(Bailey) Did he really, are you sure you didn't hear wrong?"
"(Caroline) No, I'm positive, my ears are still working fine."
"(Bailey) Look I don't want to make small talk. Let's get things straight you're here because you have to be and that doesn't mean we're going to be friends okay."
"(Caroline) Why not? I could use the company."
"(Bailey) Well I'm fine thanks. If you remember correctly you slept with the guy I slept with before and that is like stealing your best friends, boyfriend."
"(Caroline) Well, I didn't think it would be a problem it was innocent fun."
"(Bailey) Was that really all it was?"
"(Caroline) Yeah, I promise. I don't want to get cozy with him, his my kidnapper for crying out loud."
"(Bailey) He's not your kidnapper because he didn't kidnap you, he's just keeping you hostage. He's my kidnapper because he kidnapped me in a bank robbery."
"(Caroline) Fine I'm sorry."
"(Bailey) If you don't mind, I'd like to watch my movie now."
"(Caroline) Look I tried fixing things with you but you don't seem to want to."
"(Bailey) Why should I? It's not like I'm going to make an effort to get to know you."
"(Caroline) I know but it will help to thin out the unbearable atmosphere."
"(Bailey) I accept your apology now could you please leave me alone?"
"(Caroline) Fine whatever don't turn around and say I didn't try "
"(Bailey) Won't trust me."
I watched the movie and went to bed after. As per usual Greyson was working so he won't be coming to bed soon.
Get a grip Bailey why do you even want him to come to bed? It's not like everything's fine all of a sudden.
When I reached the room, I saw Julian sitting on the bed. I went in and shut the door.
"(Bailey) Unlike you to just chill in my room. What's up?"
"(Julian) I wanted to check if you were okay."
"(Bailey) Yeah, I'm fine."
"(Julian) Okay."
He got up and went to the door but turned around before leaving.
"(Julian) You should sleep well. One more thing before I go."
"(Bailey) That is?"
He walked to me and kissed me. I could feel every bit of emotion. I was shocked to say the least. I mean I kissed him once when we were little but that didn't mean anything. Yet here I was a few years later kissing him again.
"(Julian) You've got no idea how long I've been meaning to do that."
"(Bailey) Clearly not."
"(Julian) What's wrong you seem shocked?"
"(Bailey) I am but it's good. I didn't expect that."
He kissed me on my forehead and left closing the door behind him. I got into bed and processed what happened.
After my shock had cleared up, I remembered what that girl had said earlier. "He mumbled it in his sleep the first night I met him."
Could he actually care about me? I was so puzzled at this point.
28:
I woke up with Greyson sitting at the edge of the bed shirtless. What was he doing in my room?
"(Greyson) Good your awake."
"(Bailey) What are you doing here?"
"(Greyson) We need to talk."
"(Bailey) There's nothing to talk about."
"(Greyson) Bailey please."
"(Bailey) My body is aching and I don't have energy to go this right now.
"(Greyson) Well, I don't care you’re going to listen to me."
"(Bailey) Do I have a choice?"
"(Greyson) No you don't."
"(Bailey) Fine."
"(Greyson) Me and that other girl was a mistake. I never really liked her I still don't."
"(Bailey) Then why waste your time to give her attention."
"(Greyson) Because I craved attention Bailey. Anyway, let me explain what happened because like I have it you saw me sleeping next to her."
"(Bailey) Correct."
"(Greyson) So, I went to check on her and offered her a drink. Long story short we ended up finishing a bottle. When I wanted to leave and come to you, she told me to stay a little longer."
"(Bailey) Riddle me this why didn't you get up and just leave?"
"(Greyson) That's exactly what I tried doing but she got up pulled me back and threw me on the bed. Then she sat over me and kissed me. I tried not to lose control."
"(Bailey) Point is you did."
"(Greyson)Yes, and after you know, sleeping with her I felt like a coward."
"(Bailey) For once you felt guilty. Do you want a Nobel prize for that?"
"(Greyson) I deserve that."
"(Bailey) Your damn right you do."
"(Greyson) I wanted to go and sleep next to you but the guilt ate me up inside. I couldn't just lie next to you and pretend nothing happened when something did. I would understand if you never wanted me to come near you again. It would kill me but I'd understand."
"(Bailey) Why would it kill you? You were fine before you knew me what makes this any different?"
"(Greyson) Can't you see I crave you? I crave your attention you’re like a drug that I can't get enough of. One taste was all it took for me to be hooked."
"(Bailey) Well if you care like you say you do let me go home."
"(Greyson) I can't, you know that."
"(Bailey) Well then in that cause. Everything you just said was all a lie."
"(Greyson) I can't let you go. I'll be lost without you."
"(Bailey) No you won't!"
He got up and pulled me down to the edge of the bed. Then he proceeded to kiss me. Why do I always fall for that?
Am I just an easy target? Maybe it was because I'm so vulnerable. I recently came out of a relationship and one year and four months is a very long time.
"(Bailey) Greyson."
"(Greyson) Yeah Bailey."
"(Bailey) Am I an easy target?"
"(Greyson) No, you’re just very vulnerable at the moment."
"(Bailey) Is it a bad thing?"
"(Greyson) Not necessarily."
"(Bailey) Sure?"
"(Greyson) Why you asking?"
"(Bailey) I was wondering that's all."
He started tugging on my clothes. I knew what he wanted but I wasn't going to give it just yet. He had to learn the hard way. He had to wait if he wanted anything.
"(Greyson) Come on it'll be fun."
"(Bailey) No."
"(Greyson) Please."
"(Bailey) Let it go."
The lust in his eyes were so obvious. He wanted me so badly and it felt cruel making him wait but I had no choice. He wasn't going to sleep with someone else's and expect of me to just forgive him.
"(Bailey) So much lust."
"(Greyson) Of course. I want you, Bailey."
"(Bailey) To bad."
"(Greyson) Come love just a little taste that's all I need."
"(Bailey) No because then you'll have more lust. You'll have to wait that's all."
"(Greyson) I don't know how long I can hold out?"
"(Bailey) Long enough trust me."
"(Greyson) Love please."
"(Bailey) No."
"(Greyson) I won't give up."
"(Bailey) And I won't give in."
"(Greyson) Fine whatever."
"(Bailey) Thought you weren't giving up?"
"(Greyson) I'm not I'm just taking a break. This shall be continued later."
"(Bailey) You wish."
"(Greyson) No love I know. It's a fact."
"(Bailey) Keep dreaming cause that's the only place your little plan is going to work."
"(Greyson) Ouch so cold."
"(Bailey) Always been."
"(Greyson) No, you used to be a little more alive and a little less cold."
"(Bailey) Well, what can I say people change after being hurt."
"(Greyson) You know he never deserved someone like you."
"(Bailey) And you do?"
"(Greyson) I never said that. Look what I'm trying to say is if he wanted to cheat, he wasn't worth your time. You deserve someone that loves you."
"(Bailey) Like you?"
"(Greyson) Love I don't do feelings. They cause pain."
"(Bailey) And you call me cold, you're the one being cold."
"(Greyson) We're not talking about you or me anymore this conversation is over."
"(Bailey) Why because you won't face the truth?"
"(Greyson) Bailey don't go there."
"(Bailey) Why not Greyson?"
"(Greyson) Because I said so. Why do you always have to ask so many questions?"
"(Bailey) Because I'm curious that's all."
"(Greyson) Well stop being because your curiosity is going to get you killed."
He left and I just laid there even more puzzled then, before. Why was he so complicated?
I went and got something eat and heard him saying we had to leave for a meet up with the girls, father. What a nightmare come true.
While they were busy, I was stuck with her in the car. Maybe I could let her go, like have her escape. She would do me a favor.
Her door opened and there was a guy there I've never seen him before though. He sprayed something and I started feeling dizzy. Meanwhile he took her.
Once I woke up, I realized that I allowed that guy to take the girl. Greyson was furious, because he would get the blame it was his job to look after her.
"(Bailey) What are you going to do?"
"(Greyson) What do you mean what am I going to do?"
"(Bailey) You are practically going to get the blame for letting her escape."
"(Greyson) No Bailey your responsible for this mess."
"(Bailey) Why me?"
"(Greyson) You were with her in the car and you know what you were doing?"
"(Bailey) Do enlighten me."
"(Greyson) You were sleeping that's why she got out."
"(Bailey) I was sleeping because that guy sprayed something to make me sleep."
"(Greyson) Do you really expect me to believe that?"
"(Bailey) You know what I've had enough of you constantly fighting with me just leave me alone."
I got up and was on my way to the room when he stopped me.
"(Greyson) I believe you it's just I'm stressed."
"(Bailey) Well, it's not my fault you can't keep your hostages secure in one place. Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to have a shower and then I'm going to bed."
I had a hot shower and got into bed. I was still tired from that spray that they drugged me with.
29:
I woke up and saw Greyson standing with his back to me. What did he want?
"(Greyson) Good your awake get ready."
"(Bailey) What are you doing in my room? And why should I get ready?"
"(Greyson) I want you to get ready because we're leaving for Brisbane Australia soon."
"(Bailey) I know I have to get ready. You're telling me you came all the way up here just to say that."
"(Greyson) Yes, get ready."
"(Bailey) Have you found the girl yet?"
"(Greyson) No, it seems her father hired a PI to get her back."
"(Bailey) Have you gotten in touch with him?"
"(Greyson) Why would I?"
"(Bailey) Maybe someone else took her to frame you."
"(Greyson) Who would do that?"
"(Bailey) I don't know you've double crossed a lot of people."
"(Greyson) What are you saying?"
"(Bailey) I'm saying you've pissed off lots of people. Giving them more reason to frame you and take you down."
"(Greyson) Oh, okay makes sense."
"(Bailey) Anyway, got to get ready."
He left and I couldn't help but notice the puzzled look on his face.
I got ready and went downstairs. As I got to the kitchen, I saw the gang discussing the possibility of being framed.
One would think they'd worry about going to Brisbane Australia but no their worrying about that.
They fell silent when they saw me coming in to get coffee and breakfast.
"(Bailey) Oh, ignore me I'll be on my way soon anyway."
"(Julian) Bailey would you accompany me for a walk?"
"(Bailey) I'd love to "
"(Greyson) She's not going anywhere we're leaving soon."
"(Julian) It's okay we won't be long."
"(Greyson) I said she's staying because we're leaving!"
Not going to lie Greyson scared me right about now because he said it through gritted teeth making it sound like a threat.
"(Julian) Well, I since your, leaving I think it's fair to take her for one last walk. We'll only be in the park."
"(Greyson) No. Bailey are you packed and ready to go?"
"(Bailey) Yes. Please Greyson can we go for a quick walk? I'm begging you please."
"(Greyson) No go get your stuff we're on our way."
"(Bailey) It's not fair!"
"(Greyson) Well life's not fair love."
Julian accompanied me up to my room so that I could get my things. I was about to leave when he caught my wrist. I looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"(Bailey) Julian?"
"(Julian) Don't go with them, stay here with me. I can give you the world and so much more. Please I'm begging you."
"(Bailey) Julian, I don't have a choice."
"(Julian) Your clearly sad. Does he really make you feel comfortable?"
"(Bailey) That's not up for discussion."
"(Julian) He's only keeping you around for one thing, damnit can't you see that?"
"(Bailey) Yes, they need me if the feds catch them!"
"(Julian) No Bailey, he's keeping you around to use you. Your only alive because he needs you to satisfy his needs!"
"(Bailey) I only slept with him because Kevin cheated on me!"
"(Julian) B don't cry please."
"(Bailey) I have to go their waiting for me."
"(Julian) Wait."
"(Bailey) What do you want Julian?"
He kissed me and whispered "take care I love you and I'll miss you B. If this kiss won't make you stay then I can't force you."
I grabbed my things hugged him and left. I couldn't help but notice the look of sadness on his face. I knew he was hurt because I didn't stay with him but I couldn't.
If I wanted to go home Greyson was my only chance at seeing my family again. That is if they even still remember me.
Greyson loaded everything and we were well on our way to the airport.
"(Greyson) What did Julian want?"
"(Bailey) Nothing."
"(Greyson) Don't lie to me Bailey."
"(Bailey) He said nothing now do me a favor and leave me alone.
"(Greyson) He must have said something because you to were up there awfully long."
"(Bailey) Leave it."
"(Greyson) See he did say something what was it?"
"(Bailey) We're talking about Kevin my ex. Fucking happy now!"
After that he left me alone. I took this to my advantage. This meant I had a chance to get some sleep since we were going to be on this flight for 20h47m.
I woke up about 8h later to a racket. The boys were busy drinking. I made my way to the bathroom and found that Greyson followed me.
"(Bailey) What do you want?"
"(Greyson) A little of you love."
"(Bailey) How about I finish up here and I join you guys?"
"(Greyson) Fine but I'll catch you later promise."
He had a smirk on his face. Damn this boy if going to be the end of me. I joined them and we all had a few drinks.
They all passed out and I watched movies. By now we only had about 1h47m left of this flight. I was bored out of my mind. I wanted to go to a mall and shop or something.
Greyson woke up and stared at me.
"(Greyson) Hey love."
"(Bailey) Hey Cray."
"(Greyson) What happened, why's my head so sore?"
"(Bailey) You guys were drinking."
"(Greyson) We were?"
"(Bailey) Yes."
"(Greyson) Want to watch a movie?"
"(Bailey) I'm bored Cray. I've watched a dozen movies already."
"(Greyson) Well, we can do something fun if you want?"
"(Bailey) Such as?"
"(Greyson) I think you can put two and two together."
"(Bailey) We are not doing that."
"(Greyson) Come on we have 1h47m to kill."
"(Bailey) I'm going to make coffee want some."
"(Greyson) I want some."
"(Bailey) How much sugar and coffee?"
"(Greyson) No love I want some of you."
"(Bailey) Greyson stop it. Do you want coffee or not?"
"(Bailey) No thank you."
I went to the kitchen and put the kettle on. I was about to take a cup out when I felt him touch me.
His touch was gentle and left a burning sensation when he stopped. I knew where this was going and I stopped it.
"(Bailey) No Cray."
"(Greyson) Your being difficult, just give in already."
"(Bailey) No this is not happening."
He stopped and I finished my coffee. Soon the pilot let us know that we were about to land. So, we all buckled up.
I was glad when we reached the house. I went straight to bed not wasting another minute. I fell asleep quickly.
I remember having a dream about Kevin. Or say more like a nightmare. I was screaming and shaking.
"(Greyson) Hey love calm down."
"(Bailey) How could you!"
"(Greyson) How could I what, love your scaring me."
"(Bailey) How could you cheat on me!"
"(Greyson) Love wake up. You’re dreaming."
"(Bailey) Cray?"
"(Greyson) Yes, love it's okay I'm here now."
"(Bailey) What happened?"
"(Greyson) You had a bad dream that's all."
"(Bailey) Bad dream?"
"(Greyson) Yes, you were screaming and shaking. It was about Kevin, wasn't it?"
"(Bailey) Yes, I dreamt he... he...."
"(Greyson) Cheated on you. I know you blamed me."
"(Bailey) I'm so sorry."
"(Greyson) Love don't cry, shhh it's okay I got you."
I laid there in his arms. The comfort made me feel at home. I finally fell asleep again but this time in his arms.
30:
We woke up at the same time. Kind of funny right anyway I was still shocked from last night.
"(Greyson) Morning love."
"(Bailey) Morning."
"(Greyson) How did you sleep?"
"(Bailey) Well and you?"
"(Greyson) Like wise."
"(Bailey) I'm going to get some coffee want some?"
"(Greyson) No, I've got work to do. Have to find out if someone's framing me or not."
"(Bailey) You know I was joking when I said that right."
"(Greyson) Maybe but it all makes sense now."
"(Bailey) Whatever if you can excuse me."
I went downstairs and got some coffee and made breakfast while I was at it. I must say these people have class because every house we've lived in so far has been beautiful.
Big kitchen, gorgeous living room and luxurious rooms. Not to mention the bathrooms. After fixing up breakfast I went to shower.
The water felt good on my body so did his lips. Wait who's lips because no one was in here with me.
I caught myself thinking about Kevin again. Why was the thought of him crowding my mind so much?
It's like the only thing I think of ever since Greyson brought it up. I was so deep in thought that I didn't realize someone was in the bathroom with me.
It's not Greyson because he would have gotten in with me and I doubt the others will come in. They know they have to stay away from me or they'll have to face Greyson.
Who was it though? I pushed the thought aside as I continued showering. Once I got out, I saw a tall guy with black hair dressed in casual clothes.
"(Mysterious guy) And you are?"
"(Bailey) Bailey and you?"
"(Kyle) Kyle, so are you supposed to be Greyson's mistress?"
"(Bailey) Me a mistress please don't flatter me, I'm his hostage. He kidnapped me in Los Angeles while robbing a bank."
"(Kyle) I see, well aren't you pretty."
He stepped closer, dangerously close inspecting me. I was scared because I didn't know who he was. Was he another kidnapper or was he hired to find me? Of, course he wasn't hired to find me because he doesn't know my name and he knows Greyson.
"(Kyle) Why so scared?"
"(Bailey) It's... It's just I don't know you."
"(Kyle) Well to make it simple I work with Greyson, we're practically brothers but not."
"(Bailey) I see can you move back a little so I can get dressed?"
"(Kyle) Sure, I'm sorry if I scared you."
"(Bailey) No problem if you'll excuse me."
"(Kyle) Sure."
He stepped away and I got dressed. Seems like we're living in his house. Must be why else would he be here. After dressing I checked up on Greyson.
I know what you're thinking it's not my job but I can't just leave him. I feel like I'm responsible for him even though I'm not.
So, I checked on him and decided to take some coffee with. It looked like he needed it.
"(Bailey) I brought you some coffee."
"(Greyson) You shouldn't have."
"(Bailey) Why not?"
"(Greyson) Because it's not your job it's the maids job."
"(Bailey) Okay but I don't see her doing her job. She's on top of Michaels lap."
"(Greyson) Impossible, he doesn't care about anyone but himself."
"(Bailey) If you don't believe me see for yourself."
"(Greyson) Don't have time busy working."
I walked and closed the door. He needed to rest and I knew how to make him relax. Before I came along, he was serious and a workaholic.
He stared at me with a puzzled look but just continued working. I walked over to him and gently placed my hands on his body.
He gave me a look as if to say he's too busy. I didn't stop, why would I? That look gave me motivation to just continue.
I could see he was starting to get irritated with me. I lowered my mouth to his ear and whispered.
"(Bailey) What's wrong? You usually want this to happen yet you're resisting it."
"(Greyson) That's because I'm busy."
"(Bailey) Won't be for long."
"(Greyson) It will because this isn't happening now!"
"(Bailey) Okay I got a deal one kiss, if after that you still refuse then I'll leave you alone."
"(Greyson) No!"
No matter what he said we both know he wants that kiss. I can see it in his eyes. So, I kissed him on his jawline. It was his weak spot.
How did I know this? Simple because just after I kissed him there, he cupped my face and our lips collided.
"(Greyson) Damn you."
"(Bailey) No thank me because without my help you'd be a workaholic."
"(Greyson) Whatever."
He stopped kissing me and I left like I said I would. It's been about four hours since I checked on him. I wanted to go upstairs but Kyle stopped me.
"(Kyle) Bailey come and join us for some drinks in the entertainment room."
"(Bailey) Umm... I'm kind of on my way somewhere."
"(Kyle) Look darling his busy you might as well join us.
"(Bailey) Fine but only a few."
So, we had some shots and settled on beer. It was not my personal favorite but it was something to take my mind of things.
I felt really hot and my vision was blurring. How could I allow myself to do something like this? This wasn't me.
I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the boys yell out to Greyson. I saw him enter the room.
He looked cuter than usual because he was dressed in sweat pants and a tight t-shirt that showed off his perfectly gorgeous body. And he had slightly messy hair.
Did someone turn on the heat or am I just burning up from all the alcohol that I've taken in. I wasn't sure but it had to be him.
Not only did he look good in a tux but he looked good in lazy day clothes. Damn what didn't he look good in?
I put on some music and they called me over for some shots. They all looked drunk but me on the other hand I looked sober even though I wasn't.
What can I say I know how to handle my liquor but they clearly don't maybe because they don't drink as much since their always working?
"(Alec) Bailey come have some shots."
"(Bailey) In a minute."
"(Alec) Make it quick because Greyson over here needs to get drunk and quickly."
"(Bailey) What shots you serving?"
"(Kyle) Vodka."
"(Bailey) Do you have tequila?"
"(Kyle) Yes, it's somewhere, why?"
"(Bailey) If you want him to get drunk quickly, you'll have to serve tequila not vodka."
"(Kyle) Good call."
"(Greyson) No wait Bailey don't give them bad ideas."
I walked over to him and placed my hands on his abs.
"(Bailey) Shhh and enjoy."
I handed him the tequila and smirked.
"(Bailey) Bottoms up."
After 45min I had him as drunk as a girl at her first big house party.
Soon the guys started smoking and I lit a hubbly. I felt bad because he was wasted but he needed this.
"(Greyson) How are you still sober."
"(Bailey) Want to hear a secret babe?"
"(Greyson) Go ahead."
"(Bailey) I'm drunk I just know how to walk straight, that's the difference."
"(Greyson) No, you're not."
"(Bailey) I am."
31:
Greysons's pov
Kyle busted out the tequila and I knew this was the end of me. I was going to be drunk.
Kyle called her over and I was stunned by how gorgeous she looked. She had a red wine crop top on with black butt shorts.
I couldn't help myself as my eyes wondered over her body. Damn this girl looked good in anything.
"(Alec) Bailey come have some shots."
"(Bailey) In a minute."
"(Alec) Make it quick because Greyson over here needs to get drunk and quickly."
"(Bailey) What shots you serving?"
"(Kyle) Vodka."
"(Bailey) Do you have tequila?"
"(Kyle) Yes, it's somewhere, why?"
"(Bailey) If you want him to get drunk quickly, you'll have to serve tequila not vodka."
"(Kyle) Good call."
"(Greyson) No wait Bailey don't give them bad ideas."
She handed me the tequila and I took it from her.
"(Bailey) Bottoms up."
That was all I heard before I took the shot. It burnt but the burn felt good. I felt the tequila intoxicated my body.
After 45min I could feel I was drunk how did she still look so sober when she started drinking before me. It just doesn't add up.
I took a cigarette from Kyle and walked over to her. She sat by the Hubble. Maybe I should join her, you know bond with her.
"(Greyson) How are you still sober."
"(Bailey) Want to hear a secret babe?"
"(Greyson) Go ahead."
"(Bailey) I'm drunk I just know how to walk straight, that's the difference."
"(Greyson) No, you're not."
"(Bailey) I am."
How could she tell me she was drunk when I can see she isn't? Who's she bluffing.
We all decided to go and sit on the couch while the music was blasting. In the corner of my eye, I saw Bailey dancing.
"(Kyle) Don't keep all that talent to yourself."
"(Bailey) Why not?"
"(Kyle) Come over here and show us some of your moves."
She took this as an opportunity to seduce all of us. Who wouldn't fall for her she had the looks and the body?
By now she was swaying her hips and when two feet musical doodles and sex started playing it was the end for all of us.
Her hips swayed side to side as she went down to the floor. This dance mainly consisted of dirty dancing or better known as sexy dancing.
She knew how to do this and she perfected it. I was in a daze. She jumped off the table and walked over to Kyle. I saw the glint in his eyes when she went and sat on his lap.
It was unfair, I was getting jealous because she was supposed to dance on my lap and kiss me the way she kissed him.
Once she got up, he was speechless. She walked to everyone and did exactly the same but she only gave me a smirk before returning to the table to finish the dance.
At about three we all decided to go to bed. I was pissed at her for doing what she did. I saw her lying on the bed.
"(Bailey) Why so angry?"
"(Greyson) You danced on everyone's lap and kissed them all except for me why?"
"(Bailey) Because I left the best for last."
"(Greyson) What are you talking about?"
"(Bailey) You'll see."
She stepped closer and kissed me on my jawline. Oh, she's going to be sorry for that.
My hands moved up her body as I lifted her legs so that they could fold around my waist. I walked to the bed and laid her down kissing her from her mouth, down her neck all the way down her stomach.
The next step was to get rid of not only my shirt but hers. That was where this was going.
She started this so she was going to finish it. I needed this and she knew it however I was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"(Greyson) Kyle what do you want?"
"(Kyle) We've got company."
"(Greyson) Meaning?"
"(Kyle) We've got a deal to seal."
"(Greyson) Do we have to do it now?"
"(Kyle) Of, course when else?"
"(Greyson) Later today maybe?"
"(Kyle) Look we have to do it. Why not do it and get it over with."
"(Greyson) It's 3:30 in the morning."
"(Kyle) And?"
"(Greyson) And I'm tired."
"(Kyle) Yet your still awake."
"(Greyson) And your point is."
"(Kyle) My point is since your still awake you can come with to seal the deal."
"(Greyson) Look I took a shower I'm on my way to bed."
"(Kyle) You didn't shower can see the sweat on you. Go get dressed."
"(Greyson) Fuck you I'm going to bed."
"(Kyle) No, you're not now get dressed."
I shut the door took a quick shower and got dressed. I didn't want to do this I'd rather spent time with Bailey.
Kyle couldn't have worse timing, could he? Why did we have to do this now? Why not do it later like I suggested? It's not like, the guys going to run away.
"(Greyson) Got to run. I'll see you later."
"(Bailey) Yeah."
I gave her a quick kiss before leaving. Kyle was already waiting for me.
"(Kyle) See you showered."
"(Greyson) I guess I did."
"(Kyle) So, what's the story between you and that girl Bailey."
"(Greyson) She's, my hostage."
"(Kyle) I know but she's not just a hostage is she?"
"(Greyson) What do you mean?"
"(Kyle) I see the way you look at her."
"(Greyson) And?"
"(Kyle) You’re starting to fall for her aren't you."
"(Greyson) What are you talking about, in my line of work that gets you killed."
"(Kyle) Yes, but you're falling."
"(Greyson) I'm not so please drop the topic."
"(Kyle) Why are you fighting with me then?"
"(Greyson) Because I'm defending myself."
"(Kyle) Yeah right."
"(Greyson) Anything I need to know about this job?"
"(Kyle) Yes, actually it's not like the usual one's we do."
"(Greyson) What are you talking about?"
"(Kyle) We usually deal with guys well this one's a girl."
"(Greyson) Impossible."
"(Kyle) Not in this case. She's been in this line of business for 7 years now."
"(Greyson) Who's she?"
"(Kyle) April."
"(Greyson) April who?"
"(Kyle) Simpson."
"(Greyson) April Simpson, why does that name ring a bell?"
"(Kyle) I don't know you tell me."
"(Greyson) Never mind doesn't matter. How far is this place?"
"(Kyle) We're here."
This ride was surprisingly short. We went in and met April. She was a dark head with icy blue eyes. I've seen her somewhere I know it.
She brought out the papers and explained the rules and what will happen when we cross her over. Soon we were on our way back and the thought of her bothered me so much. I know I've seen her before but where though?
32:
I woke up at the sight of Kyle half naked. Why was he in my room better yet what was he doing here?
"(Kyle) Morning."
"(Bailey)What are you doing here?"
"(Kyle) Came to check up on you."
"(Bailey) I see."
Wait Bailey you can use this to your advantage. If you're nice to him he can convince Greyson to let you go.
"(Kyle) I spoke to Greyson last night."
"(Bailey) And?"
"(Kyle) He clearly likes you."
"(Bailey) Don't know what you're talking about."
"(Kyle) When I told him, he liked you and that I could see it he got all worked up."
"(Bailey) Meaning he doesn't end of the story."
"(Kyle) I saw the way he looked at you last night when you didn't sit on his lap and kiss him."
"(Bailey) Look I don't know what you thought you saw but I'm nothing to him."
"(Kyle) That's what you think."
"(Bailey) I'm a hostage that's it."
"(Kyle) Thanks for last night."
"(Bailey) Why thank me."
"(Kyle) You took entertainment to the next level. Oh, and not to talk about that kiss. I can see why Greyson is addicted. One taste is all it takes and you want more."
"(Bailey) Thanks, I guess."
He left and I went to shower. I got a fright when I stepped out of the shower and saw Michael.
"(Bailey) Geez you scared me."
"(Michael) I'm sorry."
"(Bailey) Can I help you?"
"(Michael) I wanted to talk to you."
"(Bailey) About?"
"(Michael) Last night."
"(Bailey) Look I'm sorry if you didn't like the idea of me sitting on your lap and kissing you."
"(Michael) That's just the thing. Before last night I didn't like you. You were a risk that I wasn't going to take. But after that kiss I can understand why Greyson likes you as much as he does. "
"(Bailey) So let me get this straight you like me now?"
"(Michael) Let's just say I won't be as mean to you as I used to be. I'll try and be nicer."
"(Bailey) Works for me, anything else I can help with?"
"(Michael) Thank you for showing me what it is to let go."
"(Bailey)Have you ever kissed a girl before me?"
"(Michael) Yes, lots why would you ask?"
"(Bailey) Just wondering."
"(Michael) I have to say no one kissed as nice as you."
I was shocked to say the least. I didn't expect that at all. Great Bailey now you're getting everyone to fall for you because you couldn't handle your alcohol.
But this could play to my advantage. I could use them to get to Greyson. Wouldn't that be mean though? Anyway, I went downstairs to get me some coffee.
Once I got in the kitchen all the boys started whistling.
"(Bailey) Did I miss something?"
"(Jace) Mama did you see the way those hips sway?"
"(Bailey) I'm guessing you're referring to last night."
"(Jace) You know it."
"(Alec) Never knew you could entertain like that darling."
"(Michael) And let's not forget those kisses."
"(Kyle) Why you blushing?"
"(Bailey) I'm not."
"(Greyson) Sure you're not, your cheeks are just red for no apparent reason."
"(Bailey) You can be glad I did that because that's the most fun you've had in a long time."
"(Jace) No one said we didn't like it. We're just starting the obvious."
"(Bailey) Can I just get coffee instead of being criticized about my deeds. I had some drink so I get a little crazy okay."
"(Kyle) We're not criticizing just thanking you for a great night that's all."
"(Bailey) Well, I'm glad you liked it."
"(Jace) Mama we didn't like it we loved it. Should do it again sometime."
"(Bailey) Ummmm, I don't think so."
"(Greyson) Why not?"
"(Bailey) Won't want y'all begging for more."
I grabbed my coffee turned around, swayed my hips and made myself comfortable on the couch.
I could hear them going crazy after I did that. Boys will be boys no matter what you do. Can't change them and I wouldn't try to.
Anyway, the gang let me know that they were on they’re way out and that Kyle was going to stay with me.
Seriously it's like these guys don't trust me. Mind you I did try to escape twice and almost succeeded at it.
That reminds me I have to check if I still have that money. I could really use it, that's if I'll ever have the chance to.
So, the boys left and I continued watching movies. At about two I decided to go for a swim. It was hot after all.
So, I went upstairs and changed into a swimsuit before heading to the pool. The cold water on my skin felt good.
I could have sworn that Kyle stayed in the house. Yet I felt hands around my waist. What was he doing if Greyson saw him now, he'd be dead?
I was about to turn around when Kyle dragged me out of the pool.
"(Bailey) Kyle what do you think you're doing? Kyle, you’re hurting me!"
"(Kyle) Bailey where are you?"
"(Bailey) Wait you’re not Kyle. Let go of me!"
He's grip got tighter around my body. I tried to fight him but he was too strong for me.
"(Bailey) Kyle what's going on?"
"(Kyle) Don't worry it's going to be okay."
"(Bailey) Please help me I'm scared!"
"(Kyle) Just stay calm and do what they say. I'll get killed by Greyson if you die."
"(Bailey) I seriously hate my life. Why do I have to be the one to always get the trouble?"
"(Kyle) The easiest way to get to the gang is to take something they value."
"(Bailey) And that's me I guess."
"(Kyle) Correct their keeping you hostage to avoid the feds meaning you're a valuable object."
"(Bailey) Oh, so I'm some piece of furniture now!"
"(Kyle) No, you know what I mean!"
"(Bailey) You just called me a piece of furniture!"
"(Kyle) I did not do that!"
"(Bailey) You did!"
"(Kyle) Anyway, we're not supposed to argue right now. We could die!"
"(Bailey) Yeah whatever."
"(Hitman 1) Are you guys finished?"
"(Bailey) Yes, sure kill us if you'd like since that is what you're going to do."
"(Kyle) Bailey not the time."
"(Hitman 2) Yeah listen to him."
"(Hitman 1) Shut up won't you and kill them."
What were they waiting for? Why not do it and get over with it? I just closed my eyes. I heard a shot go off and all I felt was wetness. Oh, my soul I had someone's blood on me.

Greysons's pov
We finished the job like Kyle asked. So, we went back to the mansion but upon arriving something felt off.
"(Greyson) Hey stop the car outside."
"(Driver) Sure thing boss."
"(Jace) Why can't he stop inside?"
"(Greyson) Something's wrong."
"(Alec) Everything seems okay."
"(Greyson) Trust me okay I'm the leader I know what I'm doing. Get your guns ready."
"(Michael) If you say so. We have to listen to you you're the leader I just hope you’re sure about this."
"(Greyson) Trust me I know this feeling all too well."
I've been in this business long enough to know that if have a strange feeling I should trust it.
My suspicions were correct because just outside the mansion in the driveway were cars.
To be more specific hitman were parked outside. The first thing I think of is Bailey. She's in there, how could Kyle not see this coming?
He knows people like that get hired to kill us all the time.
"(Greyson) Okay here's the plan Alec and Michael go in at the back. Jace and I will come in from the front."
"(Jace) Sounds great."
"(Greyson) And no matter what you do be quiet. Give them the element of surprise."
So, we went in and I saw her first. She looked so scared. How could someone harm something so amazing.
I know I wanted to kill her when I first saw her but come to think of it why would I want to harm a hair on her head when all she ever does is love.
We can all learn from her. She would never harm someone she'd fight them with love.
I aimed the gun at the guy holding her. I couldn't care if Kyle got shot as long as she was unharmed.
I signaled Alec to take out the guy near Kyle. We would take the shot at the exact same time. This way we avoid a shooting and people dying.
We had to move locations it wasn't save here anymore. At my signal we shot both guys and they fell to the floor.
I saw the look on her face. She was terrified. I rushed to her grabbing her tight.
"(Greyson) Love are you okay?"
"(Bailey) What do you mean am I okay?"
"(Greyson) Are you hurt?"
"(Bailey) No Greyson I'm terrified!"
"(Greyson) I know I'm sorry love."
"(Bailey) Sorry isn't good enough why don't you just let me go!"
"(Greyson) No!"
"(Bailey) So, you're just going to have me killed cause if that's the case kill me now and get it over."
"(Greyson) No, you know I'll never do that!"
"(Bailey) Then let me go I'm begging you please I can't do this anymore!"
"(Greyson) Let's get you cleaned up."
"(Bailey) Don't ignore the subject!"
"(Greyson) I'm not."
I cleaned her up and took her to the medical room. She was fighting me when I tried to inject her with something that would calm her down.
"(Greyson) Michael get in here and help me."
"(Michael) What should I do?"
"(Greyson) Take this and inject her. I'll hold her."
"(Bailey) No! Leave me please."
"(Greyson) Love don't fight me please."
Michael injected her and I put her in bed. She had to sleep and recover from the shock.
We cleaned up all the blood and got rid of the bodies. I made my way to the study to think of a plan.
We had to go somewhere more secluded where no one could find us.
I started looking for a place but it wasn't easy. We couldn't exactly rent one from a real estate agency.
That way we'd expose ourselves to the feds. They'd know where we are and that would mean all my hard work would go down the drain.
I called everyone together so that we could start thinking of where to go. Those hitmen had to be hired by the police who else would hire them?
"(Greyson) We have to figure out where we're going."
"(Kyle) I've got a treehouse not far from here. It's big enough for all of us and it's in the middle of nowhere."
"(Greyson) Well, we should get our things and leave because more hitman are probably on their way."
"(Jace) I agree. Let's get moving."
So, we packed the guns and got supplies. The cars were packed and ready. Before we left, I got Bailey. She was still asleep from the medicine we I injected her with.
I went to the room and picked her up. For the first time I could feel what it felt like to be normal.
Being a gang leader is not all that fun. Yes, sure you get guns and lots of money but you have to sacrifice so much.
I don't get to do everything everyone else does. I have to spent my whole life running from feds.
I guess I could turn myself in but then I'd have to spent time in jail. Probably for the rest of my life because of what I've done.
Anyway, I took her downstairs and handed her to Jace. I grabbed her things and through it in the car.
So we were on our way. We had just left when hitman passed us. I knew it, I knew they were on their way.
It was just a matter of time. Luckily,we were save on our way to a secluded place.
The drive was about an hour and a half. She woke up and I could see she was confused.
"(Greyson) Something wrong?"
"(Bailey) Who are you?"
"(Greyson) Wait you don't remember me?"
"(Bailey) No have we met before?"
"(Greyson) Yes, I took you hostage in a bank robbery."
"(Bailey) What bank robbery?"
"(Greyson) The one in Los Angeles."
"(Bailey) What's the time?"
"(Greyson) One thirty why?"
"(Bailey) Shit I'm late for work."
"(Greyson) Bailey, you have to look at me. You're not in Los Angeles."
"(Bailey) Where am I?"
"(Greyson) You’re in Brisbane Australia."
"(Bailey) How did I get here."
"(Greyson) Bailey, love I kidnapped you at the bank robbery in Los Angeles. I took you hostage so that we would avoid the feds."
"(Bailey) That's nuts!"
"(Michael) The shot you gave her made her forget."
"(Greyson) Will she remember?"
"(Michael) Yes, after a while."
"(Greyson) How long is a while."
"(Michael) About now."
"(Bailey) What the fuck happened. You....you shot two people. I almost got killed."
"(Greyson) Bailey love slow down. It's okay your save now."
She held on to me like never before. She seemed so afraid. Even though it happened a while ago.
We arrived at the treehouse and went to sleep it's been a long hard day and we all needed the rest.
34:
I needed new clothes. I didn't have enough so I thought of asking Greyson if they could take me somewhere to buy some.
I also needed a new look so that I wouldn't be recognized. Another thing was I had to learn self-defense if I was going to survive.
"(Bailey) Morning Greyson."
"(Greyson) Morning."
"(Bailey) I wanted to ask a favor."
"(Greyson) I'm not letting you go forget it."
"(Bailey) I don't want you to let me go."
"(Greyson) What then?"
"(Bailey) Forget it you've got an attitude I'll ask someone else."
I turned around and saw the door shut in front of me. Oh boy this was going to be one of those times where we fight or argue and them, we end up making out. We both know it's not easy staying angry.
"(Greyson) I asked you what it was so I expect you to answer me!"
"(Bailey) There we go yelling again. Spare me."
"(Greyson) I asked you something so I want an answer!"
"(Bailey) Fuck you okay!"
"(Greyson) Can arrange that if you want?"
"(Bailey) Stop being smart!"
"(Greyson) Stop swearing at me!"
"(Bailey) Stop yelling!"
"(Greyson) What did you want to ask?"
"(Bailey) Like I said you have an attitude so I'll ask someone else."
I think it's time to shut up Bailey. I could see the angry in his eyes. I was testing dangerous waters.
Waters that kill you if you don't swim. Waters that drown you.
"(Bailey) You're testing me!"
"(Greyson) And you're using my patience and I don't have lots."
Shut up Bailey. This isn't going to end well for you if you don't.
"(Greyson) That pretty little mouth of yours is going to get you killed!"
"(Bailey) It's okay I'll die if I have to. At least I won't have to worry about hitman trying to kill me!"
"(Greyson) Listen love shut up!"
"(Bailey) Make me!"
Well done Bailey now he's either going to kill you or kiss you. And if he kisses you, it won't stop until you've taken it too far.
"(Greyson) Is that a challenge love?"
"(Bailey) As you wish."
Shut up. Your mouth is going to land you in trouble.
"(Greyson) I accept your challenge."
"(Bailey) We both know that this isn't going to end well."
"(Greyson) For me it will but for you, well that's a different story."
"(Bailey) Let's make a deal I'll back away and leave you alone."
"(Greyson) What do I get out of the deal?"
"(Bailey) Peace and quiet."
"(Greyson) Not good enough."
"(Bailey) Sure, it is."
"(Greyson) Maybe for you but not for me."
"(Bailey) Look I know where this is going and no it's not happening."
"(Greyson) Why not."
"(Bailey) Because we fight or argue and end up in bed together. It's like we're using one another."
"(Greyson) So that's what you think."
"(Bailey) It's the only thing that makes sense. You can't possibly tell me that you're starting to like me?"
"(Greyson) I do like you Bailey. So, all of those nights we spent together may be meaningless to you but it means something to me."
"(Bailey) You like me?"
"(Greyson) Yes, no let me rephrase that I love you."
"(Bailey) You can't possibly love me you barely know me."
"(Greyson) But I do. You've shown me a side of myself I never knew existed."
"(Bailey) What?"
"(Greyson) It's true us gang leaders can also love. In the end we're only human."
I was shocked how could everyone know about this except me. How was I so dumb?
I'm not blonde but at this moment I seem blonde because I didn't realize the obvious.
Anyway, I just left. I couldn't face him right now. I needed to take time to think about what I just heard.
I went to the room and closed the door behind me. What is happening? All of this doesn't make sense.
This is what I wanted but yet it feels strange. Maybe this was a sign that I was starting to fall for him. Maybe I didn't want to go according to the plan anymore.
I woke up after taking a nap and Greyson was in the room. He obviously just took a shower. His hair was wet and he had sweats on. Of, course his torso had to be uncovered.
"(Greyson) Good you're awake."
"(Bailey) Yes had to rest, I was pretty tired."
"(Greyson) Did I scare you off when I said I love you?"
"(Bailey) No."
"(Greyson) Then why'd you run off?"
"(Bailey) Because I needed time to process what I had just heard."
"(Greyson) But it scared you?"
"(Bailey) No, it didn't, you just took me by surprise."
"(Greyson) You might not believe me but it scares me to feel this way."
"(Bailey) Why?"
"(Greyson) Because Bailey this isn't normal to me. Emotions in my line of work gets you killed."
"(Bailey) I know because they take the ones you love so it's easier to not feel at all."
"(Greyson) You make me feel different Bailey. Like I could actually be a normal human being."
"(Bailey) This is moving very fast. Too fast for me."
"(Greyson) I'm sorry I'll give you some time if that's what you need."
"(Bailey) Well space is what's needed that's all. Just give me space."
"(Greyson) Then that's what I'll give you. It would break me but it's obvious you need it."
"(Bailey) Thank you, Cray."
It troubled me to see him like this but it's was what was needed.
It's been a while since I saw Greyson. Kyle came in and asked me to join them. I wasn't really up for it but smoking couldn't be bad.
I mean I didn't have to drink I could smoke instead. Well, that was my plan but I ended up drinking as well.
On my way to bed I bumped into Greyson. He looked so tired and stressed out. Since the hitman story he hasn't been sleeping a lot. I don't blame him but he needed it.
"(Bailey) You need to get some sleep."
"(Greyson) No, I have to make sure you're safe."
"(Bailey) I, am now get some sleep."
"(Greyson) I don't want to."
That's it I'm making him sleep if I have to but sleep his going to sleep.
"(Bailey) Do it for me please. I'm begging you."
"(Greyson) Fine.
I saw him going to lie on the couch. This is what I wanted but it didn't feel right to have him sleep on the cold couch.
"(Bailey) I'm not letting you sleep on the couch."
"(Greyson) Where else would I sleep then?"
"(Bailey) Next to me."
"(Greyson) But you asked for space. I don't understand?"
"(Bailey) Come."
So, we went upstairs. I knew I confused him but I couldn't help it. As much as I wanted space, I hate to admit that I can't stay away from him.
We got to the room and I went to put on my PJ's. When I walked into the room, I saw his eyes on me and felt exposed.
"(Bailey) Is something wrong should I put on different clothing?"
"(Greyson) No. It's just...."
"(Bailey) Just what?"
"(Greyson) You look beautiful."
I got into bed. For once in a very long time, I felt like I was home. He kissed me gentle something he doesn't do often.
35:
Greysons's pov
It's been about two months since the hitman incident. I think it's safe to say that we made it out alive.
To celebrate that we're still alive after everything we've been through, I think it's safe to say that we can go to the Logan live music festival in Greenbank village.
We all deserve a little fun and besides were going to be leaving Brisbane Australia soon. She doesn't know this yet but if I tell her she'd bring up the story about letting her go.
As much as I would like to, she's too involved. She knows to much making her the perfect target. Police will question her as well as hitman.
She'd be forced to speak the truth. I couldn't possibly do that to her. I loved her too much.
Although I don't think she'd bring up that story because she's changed her look. She's almost completely bad.
She's wearing more, black she's dyed her hair and she's taken self-defense lessons. The change did her well she looks like a new person.
Bailey's pov
I've been training with Michael for about two months now. I had to learn self-defense and he was my best shot.
"(Michael) You're getting better every day."
"(Bailey) Thanks, I learnt from the best."
"(Michael) Well can't deny it I am the best."
"(Bailey) Don't flatter yourself too much now."
Ever since I started training, Michael and I have spent a lot of time together. We were starting to get very close.
Greyson and the rest of the gang let us know that they were leaving for supplies.
Since we were busy training, we said we would stay behind. It was safe, I mean where in the middle of nowhere. What could possibly go wrong?
No hitman has shown up in two months. I think we're okay.
"(Michael) You okay staying alone with me?"
"(Bailey) Why wouldn't I be?"
"(Michael) Wondering that's all."
Why would he assume I'd worry if we were alone? It's not like I'm afraid of him.
We practiced for another 30min before heading into the house. I got us some water since I was tired as hell.
I remember wanting to go and shower but of course Michael stopped me. I must admit I like Greyson but spending so much time with Michael made my heart unsure of what it actually wants.
I looked at him. It looked like he wanted to say something.
"(Michael) Do you want some pancakes?"
"(Bailey) Sounds great I'm starving."
I sat on the counter beside him. It was fun watching him trying to make pancakes. He wasn't bad at it but you could see he was a bit rusty. Like he hadn't made it in so long.
"(Michael) A stack of lovely pancakes for a lovely lady."
"(Bailey) Why thank you dear sir."
We both sat in silence eating our pancakes. I caught him staring at me every now and then.
"(Bailey) Do I have something on my face?"
"(Michael) No why?"
"(Bailey) Just wondering because I caught you staring at me so you know."
"(Michael) I can't help it you're just so damn beautiful."
"(Bailey) You think so."
"(Michael) No, I know so."
"(Bailey) Why thank you. You know since we've been spending time together, I've seen a different side of you a side I never knew existed."
"(Michael) Well only few see this side. When I let you in that's when you see it."
"(Bailey) You know you don't always have to be so cold."
"(Michael) Bailey in my line of work it's the only thing keeping me alive. If I show anyone mercy, I die simple."
"(Bailey) I know what I mean is be cold when you're on duty but more chilled when you're not."
"(Michael) I am chilled now, aren't I?"
"(Bailey) Yes, but you should do it more."
"(Michael) Look I'll try okay but I'm not promising anything, you finished?"
"(Bailey) Yeah."
He took my plate and washed the dishes. I got up and headed towards the room when he grabbed my waist.
For a split second I looked puzzled. I was confused as to what was happening. Before I could process what happened our lips collided.
Many will call me names after this. Everyone knows that if you're sleeping with one person you shouldn't be kissing another but I couldn't help it.
It reminded me of the time I sat on his lap and kissed him. It's been so long yet his lips taste so familiar like I'd been kissing then every day for the past two months.
It felt good kissing him. He woke something up inside me that was dead for so long.
Greyson was a good kisser but Michael was amazing. He sent shivers down my spine and gave me the whole damn zoo.
What was I doing? What was I thinking? I was being rational. It's like that moment when you do something in the moment.
It feels good but you don't necessarily think it through. All I knew was if Greyson had to see me now, he would be furious.
He'd never speak to me again yet alone Michael.
"(Bailey) Michael."
"(Michael) Yes Bailey."
"(Bailey) What are we doing?"
"(Michael) I don't know but it feels good."
"(Bailey) It does but we could get into serious trouble."
"(Michael) It's not like we're going to sleep together."
"(Bailey) I knew but..... No what screw it this is pay back for Greyson sleeping with that other girl."
"(Michael) That's my girl."
Things got heated. I took off his shirt and he took of mine. He also continued to deepen the kiss. I could feel the want.
I could feel that this wasn't just another meaningless kiss but that he meant it. He meant every moment of this.
He'd probably been waiting a long time to do this. To be fair this was the first time in two months that we were completely alone with no one around.
He broke the kiss placing his forehead against mine.
"(Michael) If it weren't for Greyson being so possessive I'd have taken you for myself a long time ago."
"(Bailey) Yes, he sure is possessive."
"(Michael) I know but it's because he thinks he can have everything because he's the leader."
"(Bailey) Doesn't work that way you guys work hard. You deserve something to."
"(Michael) Tell that to Greyson."
He cupped my face and kissed me once again. Must say I've been getting a lot of attention since I've been here. Not that I'm complaining it feel great.
After he broke the kiss, I got my shirt and went to shower before the rest got back.
36:
Greyson didn't know about the kiss between Michael and I. I just couldn't tell him. I didn't have the heart to so I decided to do the obvious and keep it to myself.
I know that wasn't the right decision but what could I do. I really want to tell him because I feel guilty.
I got in the shower and had the hot water run over me. It helped me relax and took my mind of things.
The heat escaped the shower and I knew someone was in here with me. When I turned around, I saw Greyson. The very person I was trying to avoid.
"(Greyson) Morning love."
"(Bailey) Morning Cray."
"(Greyson) What you thinking about?"
"(Bailey) What would you do if your girl kissed someone else?"
"(Greyson) Well why you asking?"
"(Bailey) Don't answer my question with a question."
"(Greyson) Okay, okay depends. If we're serious or not."
"(Bailey) Serious?"
"(Greyson) Love did you kiss someone else?"
I wasn't sure whether to tell him the truth or not because he clearly picked up on something.
"(Greyson) Look who was it?"
"(Bailey) ..........."
"(Greyson) When did you kiss them?"
"(Bailey) ......."
"(Greyson) Bailey just tell me. Be honest I won't be angry."
"(Bailey) So, if I did kiss someone you wouldn't punch them?"
"(Greyson) Depends."
"(Bailey) Meaning?"
"(Greyson) Depends who it is."
I leaned in and kissed him. I have to tell him but I don't want to spoil the mood.
"(Greyson) Don't kiss me just to change the subject."
"(Bailey) So, you don't like a kiss now."
"(Greyson) I do but come now you have something to tell me."
Do It, it's now or never.
"(Bailey) Can't recall it."
"(Greyson) Maybe this will make you remember."
He moved him lips to my neck. Damn you Greyson. Now I have to tell him because his got me at my weak spot.
"(Greyson) Who was it?"
"(Bailey) Michael and I kissed."
"(Greyson) When?"
"(Bailey) Yesterday."
"(Greyson) When we went and got supplies?"
"(Bailey) Yeah. Greyson I'm sorry."
"(Greyson) It's okay love lots of guys have kissed you but you're still mine."
"(Bailey) So, you're not going to punch him or yell at me?"
"(Greyson) No."
"(Bailey) Unbelievable how are you so calm right now?"
"(Greyson) Because I know I won't lose you. You're mine no matter what they say or do."
I was shocked how was he so calm about the whole situation. If it was me, I'd be yelling and screaming at him.
He got out before me. I wanted to stay a little longer just to relax some more plus the water felt really good on my skin.
Once I go out, I dressed and saw Michael in the room. He looked confused.
"(Michael) How'd he find out?"
"(Bailey) He kissed it out of me."
"(Michael) Why's he, so calm about it?"
"(Bailey) He said he doesn't care because I'm his so no matter what happens nothing changes that."
"(Michael) I see."
Greyson called Michael downstairs for business.
Greysons's pov
"(Greyson) There's a change in plans."
"(Michael) What do you mean?"
"(Greyson) We, would of gone to Darwin but I decided that we'd go to Ohio instead."
"(Jace) Why?"
"(Greyson) Not my orders. Just following instructions."
"(Alec) Well Ohio it is then."
"(Greyson) Great everyone's dismissed, Michael can I have a word with you?"
"(Michael) Sure, what's up?"
"(Greyson) Do me a favor and stay away from her."
"(Michael) And if I don't want to?"
"(Greyson) Then I'll make you."
I wasn't going to punch him I was simply going to warn him. She's mine and I'm not about to let him take her away.
Bailey's pov
I heard their plan and I wasn't sure what to think. Look on the bright side I'd be a little closer to home. So, if I wanted to escape, I'd have a great opportunity.
Not that I would do that because I'd be dead if they catch me. Anyway, I was snapped out of my thoughts by Greyson.
"(Greyson) We're going to a music festival tonight so put on something pretty."
"(Bailey) Which festival."
"(Greyson) You'll see all I can say is it's a live music festival that it."
He wasn't going to spoil it. That's all I got. How was I supposed to dress nice if I didn't know what kind of festival it was?
I'm the kind of person that dresses according to the occasion. He didn't even tell me how late I should be finished.
At four I saw him coming up to dress so I decided to dress as well just in case we had to be finished soon.
I curled my hair and did some light makeup. I wore black heels and a wine-red mini dress with red lips of course.
I was just about to go downstairs when Michael came up.
"(Michael) He warned me to stay away yet he sent me to come and fetch you."
"(Bailey) That's what makes him so complicated he doesn't know what he wants."
"(Michael) You look gorgeous."
"(Bailey) Thank you, Michael."
We went downstairs and got in the limo. Greyson gave me a look as if to say he was impressed with my outfit.
It wasn't long before we got to the festival. I was so excited and you could see everyone there was having a good time.
We made our way through the crowd. By now you're probably wondering how we haven't gotten caught it's because all of us look different.
You can say we're wearing costumes. Well, that's basically what people do when they go to festivals.
We were right up against the stage. The music was loaded and there were drunk people everywhere.
After a while the boys said we should go and get drinks. So, we went to the alcohol tent. Everything was going pretty well until a shot was fired.
Seriously what was it with us and trouble. We soon realized that it wasn't aimed at us. It was in fact someone that shot in between the crowd where we had just been standing.
However, Alec held on to the side of his body. They boys thought he was joking but I knew he had been shot.
Just as I was about to tell them he was shot he fell to the floor.
"(Alec) Don't fucking stand there help me for crying out loud!"
"(Greyson) Bailey get behind me you could get shot!"
"(Bailey) Fuck you Greyson unlike you I'm trying to help him."
So, Michael helped me so that we could get him in the car. We rushed home and helped him.
After fixing him up I went and got into bed. My nerves where shot.
"(Greyson) How dare you disobey my orders?"
"(Bailey) I, did it because I kept one of your guys alive. So, I'd like to think that you would thank me!"
"(Greyson) He would have been fine so I don't have to thank you!"
"(Bailey) He, would have died he was shot in his side for crying out loud. I'd know because I was shot in the exact same spot remember!"
"(Greyson) That's it I've had enough of you and your big mouth."
He pointed the gun right at me. I was terrified. He always threatened me but this was taking it too far.
"(Greyson) Bailey."
"(Bailey) Leave me the fuck alone. No Greyson stay away from me!"
I ran out of the room crying. All of this was getting to much for me. I ran into Michael and he looked at me with a puzzled look.
"(Michael) Darling what's wrong?"
"(Bailey) Greyson......"
"(Michael) Darling stop crying what about him?"
"(Bailey) We were arguing and he pointed a....gu... Gun at me."
"(Michael) Okay you're not sleeping there. Come."
We went to his room and he told me to sleep there. He was planning on sleeping on the couch.
"(Bailey)No please stay with me."
"(Michael) Greyson won't be happy."
"(Bailey) I don't care please."
"(Michael) Only till you sleep."
"(Bailey) You can sleep next to me. Please I'm begging you."
"(Michael) Okay fine but I'm getting up early so that it looks like I slept on the couch."
"(Bailey) Deal."
I fell asleep in his arms and it felt good.
37:
I didn't sleep much at all. Just as soon as I fell asleep, I replayed what happened.
I can't recall ever seeing the look he gave me. It was the first time I saw it.
It was built up anger but then again if I kept my mouth shut, he wouldn't have lashed out at me.
I ended up sleeping in Michaels arms for most of the night. It felt good sleeping in someone else's arms for a change.
He was so nice to me but I must admit it felt strange waking up with him beside me.
I know he said he would wake up before me but I decided that I'd go and lie on the couch.
He didn't have to take the fall for me. I could stand up for myself. He's gone through enough trouble for me already.
I head downstairs it was about five in the morning and I was still tired so I decided to sleep some more.
The couch was so comfortable I fell asleep right away. Of, course the events of Kevin and Greyson had to play over and over again.
I had such a fright I woke up crying. How much trauma could I survive? When was it enough?
I got coffee and went outside. Some sun would do me good. I had to get away from all of this. It wasn't good for me not even one bit.
I heard someone or something in the woods and went into full attack mode.
Good thing I learnt self-defense. I put down the cup and listened. As soon as I did that someone grabbed me from behind.
Sorry buddy today is your, not so lucky day. I loosened his grip and twisted his arms. He dropped a gun.
I wasn't going to shoot him unless I had to. So, I kicked him and grabbed the gun.
"(Bailey) If I were you, I'd put your hands were, I can see them."
"(Hitman) You're not going to shoot me."
He was right but he doesn't have to know that. I aimed the gun higher. As I did that, he pulled out a knife. Oh, this fucker was smart but I was smarter.
"(Bailey) Go ahead stab me and get yourself killed!"
"(Hitman) Good idea but I'm here for them not you!"
"(Bailey) Well, you'll have to go through me first."
"(Hitman) Won't hesitate!"
He swung the knife at me and made a small cut on my arm. And that's when it happened. I pulled the trigger and shot him in the head.
Oh hell no. I killed someone. I didn't want to do that to begin with but it was reflexes.
I immediately ran inside. Not only was I covered in my blood but his as well. What was it with me and blood?
As I got inside, I saw Greyson. I instantly froze. I didn't have time to face him right now.
"(Greyson) Pack we're leaving, I'll tell the boys."
"(Bailey) Can I just help myself I'm bleeding if you haven't realized!"
"(Greyson) I don't care pack!"
"(Bailey) Fuck you."
"(Greyson) Oh, but honey you did more than once."
"(Bailey) Go to hell!"
"(Greyson) I will once I die so it's inevitable."
I cleaned my wound and packed. I put the gun in my bag underneath everything. I turned into one of them. I was becoming a killer.
"(Greyson) Are you done?"
"(Bailey) Yes."
Everyone was staring at me and Greyson now. Did no one have anything to say about the fact that I had killed someone?
"(Bailey) So, we're just all going to ignore the fact that I killed someone."
"(Greyson) Not now Bailey!"
"(Bailey) When then Greyson, when?"
"(Greyson) Not today!"
"(Bailey) So, we're just going to pretend that it never happened?"
"(Greyson) Yes, it's better that way!"
"(Bailey) I killed someone Greyson, I shot them in the head for crying out loud!"
"(Greyson) And?"
"(Bailey) Shouldn't the body be buried or something so that no one finds it?"
"(Greyson) If you have the gun then there's nothing to worry about!"
"(Bailey) So, I should just pretend that I didn't just take someone's life?"
"(Greyson) Precisely."
"(Bailey) You know you can thank me I saved your life. He wasn't here for me he was here for all of you!"
"(Greyson) So....."
"(Bailey) Save it I'm tired of you and your attitude. I've had enough of you treating me like trash!"
I turned around and left. My things were packed in the car and I kept to myself.
He tried talking to me but I just shot him down. Why did I have to talk to him if he treated me the way he did.
I could see in his eyes that he just wanted to kill me and get over with it. At least then he'd be rid of me and my big mouth for good.
We reached the airport and boarded the plane. We had an 18h51m flight ahead of us. I was mostly going to sleep.
The less I saw of him the better it was. We were about 7h in the flight meaning we had 11h51min left. Michael came and sat with me because apparently, they decided to have a party.
I'm the one that's supposed to have a party because I'm the hero here I saved their asses.
"(Michael) They decided to have a ball out there."
"(Bailey) It's okay I don't want to join."
"(Michael) Me neither can I join you?
"(Bailey) Sure, I could do with the company."
So, we sat and talked. We only had 5h51m left. I was honestly bored to death. There wasn't much to do since we were on an airplane.
I was enjoying Michael's company but the rest started annoying me so I went to quiet them down.
"(Bailey) Could you guys please keep its down."
"(Greyson) And who the fuck made you the boss last time I saw I was the leader around here!"
"(Bailey) I never said I was the boss I just asked you guys to be a little softer. I don't want to hear what you're talking about."
"(Greyson) Then shut the door!"
"(Bailey) You're, real smart when you've had some drink, aren't you?"
"(Greyson) I like to think I'm smart all the time. How about instead of yelling at me you come over here join us and you know dance a little. I mean we could do with entertainment."
"(Bailey) No, you're drunk."
"(Greyson) Never stopped you before."
"(Bailey) Whatever."
I turned around and left I just had enough of him and his drinking already.
38:
After I left Greyson and them I locked the door. No way in hell was I going to listen to their noise.
Michael looked at me with a mesmerized look on his face. You would think that after what happened that one night that I'd learn my lesson.
"(Michael) You're brave let me tell you that."
"(Bailey) Well, someone had to do something it was getting to much."
"(Michael) I mean he could of....."
"(Bailey) Killed me yeah I know but I had to risk it."
"(Michael) I wouldn't have."
"(Bailey) Well, I guess that's the difference between you and me. I'm not scared of taking chances."
"(Michael) You can say that again."
"(Bailey) I'm so damn bored and we still have 2h51m left of this flight."
"(Michael) Tell me about it. I want to do something but there's nothing to do."
"(Bailey) Not like we can do much. I mean we're stranded on a plane."
We sat there just exchanging looks. Just like before I could sense the lust he had.
How could one want someone so much? How did he manage to keep calm?
I leaned closer and our lips collided. Like before it sent shivers down my spine and it made butterflies explode in my stomach.
We could have this spiral out of control or we could stop it now. Why would we though it feels so good.
He woke something up inside me that I missed. I craved this feeling.
He lowered his lips down to my ear and whispered.
"(Michael) I crave you ever minute of every day."
"(Bailey) I can sense that. How far is this going to go?"
"(Michael) As far as you want it to go."
Did I want to take this far? Did I want us to end up in bed together or not? I mean would it be wrong?
I decided to let faith made the choice for me.
"(Bailey) Let's have faith decide where this goes."
"(Michael) I like that."
So, things moved fast. We ended up on the bed. He was hovering over me. His lips moved down to my neck.
Everywhere he kissed went numb. On one had ever had such an effect on me.
We never ended up sleeping together. We landed before things could get out of hand. We swore that we wouldn't let things go that far again.
That was so close. We could have slept together. Could you imagine what Greyson would say about that. He'd never forgive me or Michael and he would surely punch him.
It never felt so good to be closer to home yet still too far. It made my work easier if I were to decide to try and escape.
I just wanted to go home already but even I knew that was never going to happen. He wasn't going to let me go.
If I wanted to be free it meant I would have to die. That's the only way he'd let me free.
So, we got in the limo and went to the safe house. It was near a river side. Not a modern as all the others more like cozy.
I was so glad to finally arrive at the house. This meant I could go and rest. I was so tired after 18h51m of flying.
It was the next morning. I went and got coffee. The boys were all sitting at the kitchen counter not saying a thing.
Why were they so quiet? They’re usually talking about some job they have to do.
"(Bailey) Why are you all so quiet?"
"(Greyson) Keep quiet!"
"(Bailey) Listen here if your hungover it's not my fault. Every action has a consequence."
"(Greyson) Keep quiet!"
"(Bailey) No, I won't it's not my fault you can't handle your Alcohol."
Like once before he pointed the gun at my face. But this time I wasn't scared I grabbed a gun that was laying on the counter and pointed it at him.
"(Greyson) So this is how it's going to be!"
"(Bailey) You seem to forget I killed someone!"
"(Greyson) Should I be scared?"
"(Bailey) No just watch your mouth. I killed that guy without thinking twice!"
"(Greyson) Are you threatening me?"
"(Bailey) No, I'm simply warning you!"
"(Greyson) Look love just keep quiet."
"(Bailey) I won't!"
He lifted the gun higher but I wasn't scared. I walked around the table and pointed the gun at his chest.
"(Bailey) I'm not scared don't test me!"
"(Greyson) You should be. Get lost!"
No one speaks to me like that. Seems to me he doesn't take me seriously. So, I moved the gun quickly and shot him in the arm.
"(Greyson) Why the fuck did you do that?"
"(Bailey) Because you didn't take me seriously!"
"(Jace) What the fuck Bailey!"
"(Bailey) Oh he won't die I barely hit him. I took shooting lessons so I know where I can and cannot shoot."
They all looked at me with scared expressions. They probably thought I was joking but I wasn't. I had to make them respect me.
I went and got the medical supplies. I put it down on the kitchen counter and stitched his arm.
"(Bailey) Next time don't point a gun at my head!"
"(Greyson) Read you loud and clear."
"(Bailey) Glad we're on the same page."
After fixing him up I went and cooked some food. I needed to eat something else rather than toast all the time.
After eating I went to take a shower. The hot water felt good it calmed me down. I just shot Greyson in the arm.
After showering I went and checked on Michael. He had to be awake after that shot because something like that would wake me up.
"(Bailey) You up?"
"(Michael) Yes, who shot who?"
"(Bailey) I shot Greyson."
"(Michael) Where?"
"(Bailey) In his arm."
"(Michael) Why?"
"(Bailey) Because he pointed a gun to my head so I showed him I wasn't scared."
"(Michael) That's my girl. Bet he was shocked."
"(Bailey) Beyond believe. They all were shocked."
"(Michael) Damn girl why'd he point the gun to you?"
"(Bailey) Because I asked why they were quiet. Ends up they were hungover. When they asked for me to keep quiet, I refused."
"(Michael) So he was going to shoot you because you made noise and he's hungover?"
"(Bailey) That's correct."
The rest of the day was pretty boring. Nothing much happened. I was on my way to Michaels room but Greyson pulled me into his.
39:
Oh hell no. He can save his sorry and just let me go.
"(Bailey) What do you want?"
"(Greyson) I saw you slept on the couch last night."
"(Bailey) And?"
"(Greyson) I wasn't very happy about that."
"(Bailey) Not my problem."
"(Greyson) You could have slept here."
"(Bailey) Oh, so that you could point another gun at my face?"
"(Greyson) I wouldn't have."
"(Bailey) Look it's clear that you have anger issues."
"(Greyson) I don't."
"(Bailey) And you're possessive."
"(Greyson) I am not."
"(Bailey) Then why did you do what you did?"
"(Greyson) Because."
"(Bailey) Because what?"
"(Greyson) Because you just wouldn't listen you think you're, real smart."
"(Bailey) You don't want anyone near me and if I don't listen you get super angry."
"(Greyson) Listen to yourself you sound delusional!"
"(Bailey) I'm delusional. For once in your life just admit that someone else is right and you're wrong!"
"(Greyson) I won't admit anything because I know myself better than you do!"
"(Bailey) It's not a sin to be wrong you know. It's okay to make mistakes it's part of life and being a human being."
"(Greyson) Look mistakes get me killed. There's no place or room for error."
"(Bailey) Look at you. You act all tough. You're like an emotionless robot."
"(Greyson) I'm the robot. I'm not the one still hung up over my ex that cheated on me!"
I didn't know what to say. I had tears in my eyes. How could he bring that up? He know how much it hurt me?
I rushed down the stairs and out of the house. I just needed some alone time.
I was probably stupid to sit outside because it was late at night and it wasn't really safe.
I went inside at about one. I'd been sitting at the water the whole time. I just wanted to go home.
My life has become one emotional rollercoaster I've almost died a couple of times and a gun was pointed to me.
I started to doubt him ever feeling anything for me. If he did why did he want to hurt me?
Nothing made sense anymore. I was all over the place. Now was my shot to leave and break free. It's clear he doesn't need me or want me.
Once I got inside, I locked everything up and grabbed me a glass of wine.
It started with wine but even that wasn't strong enough for me. So, I found a bottle of vodka. Soon Kyle and Michael joined me.
This party was getting wild maybe a little too wild but why would we care? We're young and dumb. We're drinking and smoking because inside our hearts are choking.
So, we put on some music and like once before I started dancing but it gets better the rest joined in.
"(Bailey) Isn't there a party we can go to I mean I'm tired of being in this house 24/7?"
"(Kyle) My buddy is throwing one we can go if you want?"
"(Bailey) Great I'm just going to get changed."
I put on a black cocktail dress and heels before making my way towards the car. The drive wasn't that long and before we knew it, we arrived.
You could see all the drunk people with their red cups scattered around. We parked and went inside.
It was a battle getting through the crowd but we managed to get to the kitchen.
"(Kyle) Is beer, okay?"
"(Bailey) Isn't there any vodka?"
"(Kyle) No but I could ask my friend for some."
"(Bailey) Please I'd really appreciate it."
He left and returned with his friend and a bottle of vodka. Come to mama.
"(Kyle) Bailey this is Matt. Matt this is Bailey."
"(Matt) Please to meet you, Bailey. May I add that you're looking fine."
"(Bailey) Thank you, Matt you're looking good yourself."
"(Matt) Thanks."
"(Bailey) Where can we dance?"
"(Matt) Right over there."
I pushed through everyone and went to the dance floor. I had to beg the boys to join me because they kept making up excuses such as they have to protect me.
Me being me wasn't having it. They were going to dance with me whether they wanted to or not.
"(Bailey) Come now join me please I'm begging you."
"(Kyle) Michael can join you I'll be on look out."
"(Bailey) I'll be fine come here please."
"(Boys) Fine."
"(Bailey) Yayyyy."
I was grinding and twerking while they were keeping the drinks coming. Over all I'd say we had lots of fun.
We left at five. Once we got home, I went and laid on the couch. I was so tired from all the drinking that I didn't even realize that Michael picked me up.
It was now eight o'clock. I was one of the lucky ones, I didn't get hungover from drinking.
I went and got coffee. Everyone was staring at me like I'd commit a crime or maybe they remember what happened just the other day.
"(Greyson) Where were you last night?"
"(Bailey) None of your business."
I grabbed my coffee and went back upstairs. After finishing my coffee, I took a shower.
It was nice and relaxing. I could hear the door of the room closing and I know who it was. Greyson was probably going to fight with me again. It seems to be our thing lately all we do is fight.
I got out dressed and stepped into the room.
"(Bailey) So we're going to fight again, aren't we?"
"(Greyson) No, we're simply going to talk."
"(Bailey) About?"
"(Greyson) Where were you last night because you weren't here?"
"(Bailey) I went out to a party."
"(Greyson) What party?"
"(Bailey) One downtown."
"(Greyson) With who?"
"(Bailey) Michael and Kyle. Before you go blaming them it was my idea."
"(Greyson) Thank you for your honesty."
"(Bailey) It's a pleasure I guess."
"(Greyson) On to more serious business."
"(Bailey) What business?"
"(Greyson) I've made a decision. It was hard and I had to think about it for a long, long time."
"(Bailey) What decision. You're not making any sense?"
"(Greyson) I've decided to let you go."
"(Bailey) Why?"
"(Greyson) The feds aren't after us and you're a risk when it comes to Hitman. Since you've been with us there's only been trouble. It took up lots of unnecessary time that we could have used, to finish work."
"(Bailey) I told you a long time ago to let me go but you didn't listen to me. I'm grateful for you finally deciding to let me go. I'll be packed and ready to leave when you want to leave."
"(Greyson) Good I'll get the boys because we have some work to do as well."
I packed my things and put it in the car. I was shocked to say the least he let me go after so long.
The flight was tough but I made it. We were on our way to my house. I realized they all were quiet throughout the drive.
Could it because they have grown fond of me? I pushed the thought aside as I saw my house approach. I've never been so happy in my life before.
The car came to a hold, Greyson handed me my things and I waved goodbye before going inside.
Finally, the nightmare ended and I was home. I couldn't even begin to describe the look on my family's face.
We had a big family dinner with a roast and vegetables. I haven't had a proper meal in a long time.
There were tears of joy and I was happy to be home. I truly missed them.
40:
2 years later:
I had to get up and finish for work. I was lucky when I got back that Maggie kept my place otherwise, I'd be left unemployed.
Anyway, I was on my way out. I had to open up today.
"(Bailey) Morning Maggie."
"(Maggie) Morning Bailey how are you?"
"(Bailey) I'm doing better."
"(Maggie) Today's 2 years."
"(Bailey) I know. That reminds me I've got an appointment with my therapist."
"(Maggie) How late?"
"(Bailey) At 12."
"(Maggie) No problem I know how important it is for you to go."
"(Bailey) You're the best."
After returning I had to see a therapist to deal with the trauma. It's been two years since I last saw him or any of them for that matter.
The nightmares got less but the memories never faded. No matter what I did I kept remembering.
The scar from where I was shot was the worst reminder. Knowing that I would forever remind me of my time with Liam.
The day went on and work was pretty boring. Of, course we were busy but everyone kept reminding me of what today was.
Them saying sorry made it worse. Honestly, I just wanted to forget.
I haven't loved anyone since Greyson. It felt so wrong to move on. I know what you're thinking I should have come over him by now but truth is I can't.
This whole situation hurt me physically and emotionally. I left at 11:30 to go to my appointment.
I went in at 11:50.
"(Danielle) Morning Bailey."
"(Bailey) Morning Danielle."
"(Danielle) And how are you today?"
"(Bailey) Well, I'm doing better."
"(Danielle) That's good. So today is two years."
"(Bailey) It seems so."
"(Danielle) How do you feel about it?"
"(Bailey) I don't really know."
"(Danielle) Has anyone reminded you that this was the day you were kidnapped?"
"(Bailey) Yes, pretty much everybody."
"(Danielle) How does that make you feel?"
"(Bailey) Honestly I just wish they would stop reminding me."
"(Danielle) Does it upset you?"
"(Bailey) Yes, because it's like they’re the ones dealing with the trauma."
"(Danielle) How have the nightmares been?"
"(Bailey) They’re getting less and less but the memories they kill me."
"(Danielle) Would you like to open up a little bit about some of the events that took place?"
"(Bailey) I guess I have to."
"(Danielle) I'm asking you because I know how much it hurts."
"(Bailey) They treated me well. They never tied me up or hurt me."
"(Danielle) So, they gave you your freedom?"
"(Bailey) Yes, they fed me well, gave me a warm bed and kept me company."
"(Danielle) So, they treated you like they would treat one another?"
"(Bailey) Pretty much."
"(Danielle) Anything else you want to share?"
"(Bailey) I had to learn to deal with threats?"
"(Danielle) From them?"
"(Bailey) No threats sent to them. Well, there were a few times when they threatened to kill me but it was to get me to shut up."
"(Danielle) Do you know why?"
"(Bailey) Mostly because my mouth was too big."
"(Danielle) Did it scare you?"
"(Bailey) No because I was their only ticket to staying out of jail."
"(Danielle) Would you ever turn them in?"
"(Bailey) No, I don't think so."
"(Danielle) Why is that?"
"(Bailey) Their smart they'll escape."
"(Danielle) I see. Care to tell me where that scar came from?"
"(Bailey) I was kidnapped by one of the men they worked with because he was wanted me and he couldn't have me. So, when they rescued me, he shot me."
"(Danielle) Terribly sorry do you want to share anything else?"
"(Bailey) I can't I have to get back to work. I have to deposit money for Maggie."
"(Danielle) Before you go doesn't it scare you to go to the bank after everything?"
"(Bailey) It does but I'm dealing with it one day by a time."
"(Danielle) Well I look forward to our next meeting."
"(Bailey) Me too."
I left to go and get the money from Maggie. Since it was Saturday, we closed at 01:30. My appointment took an hour so all I had to do was go back because by the time I got there she'd be closed.
She waited outside for me and gave me the money. I took it and went straight to the bank. The que was long. Not what I hoped for because I wanted to go in and get it done with.
It scared me to be in the bank. Each time I went in there I remembered what happened that day.
I could remember every single detail. From the time they came in and told us to get on the floor up to the guy that dropped dead in front of me.
I wanted it over and done with. After what felt like forever, I finally reached the front desk.
I recognized the woman. It was the same one that helped me two years ago on this day. The day this bank was robbed.
"(Cashier) Morning how can I help you?"
"(Bailey) Morning I'd like to make a deposit for Maggie's Cafe?"
"(Cashier) How much?"
"(Bailey) $10 000."
"(Cashier) Check or cash?"
"(Bailey) Cash?"
"(Cashier) Put the cash in the silver tray please and pass it over."
I did as she asked. Since the day of the robbery, they made the place more secure. To I guess control robberies. I'm not really sure.
I was on my way out when a gunshot went off. I fell to the floor right away.
I remembered those eyes and that voice. It's the voice that's been haunting me for the past two years. The voice I've feared.
"(Greyson) Everybody on the floor now!"
"(Alec) Open the vault!"
"(Michael) Nobody move!"
"(Jace) I'll grab the money."
"(Greyson) Great call move it. We don't want the feds to show up."
"(Jace) Great point."
They came out with bags and bags of cash. More than the first time.
I had to stop them. They'd listen to me. I know them or do I. I mean people change.
I had to take my chances I'd never know if I didn't try. I got up and made my way over to him. I could hear everyone whisper.
"What's she doing."
They wouldn't understand even if I explained it to them. They didn't know these guys like I did.
"(Bailey) Please stop. I know you better than this. You don't want to do this."
"(Greyson) You think you know us you don't!"
"(Bailey) I know you better than anyone else. I've seen your good side I know you can be a nice person."
"(Greyson) Look get on the floor!"
"(Bailey) No stop this!"
"(Greyson) Get on the floor."
I leaned in and kissed him. He looked puzzled for a moment.
"(Bailey) For these past two years I've never stopped loving you. If that isn't a good enough reason for you to stop then I don't know."
"(Greyson) What are you talking about?"
"(Bailey) Like I said. I haven't loved anyone after you. Remember when you said you loved me?"
It was more of a whisper than anything else.
"(Greyson) I do but that means nothing! "
At that moment I saw Olive walking in. She stopped in front of me and kissed Greyson. This shuttered my heart.
That's when I heard it. Another shot was fired but who was shot though? That's when I felt it, pain.
I was the one that was shot. I fell forward and landed in Greysons's arms. He gave Liam a puzzled look.
"(Liam) I had to!"
"(Greyson) Why?"
"(Liam) She loves you but I love her and if I can't have her, you can't."
"(Greyson) So, this is all about you having feelings for her?"
"(Liam) Yes!"
They were arguing while I was dying. I put pressure on the wound but the blood was too much. I could feel my body dying down.
So, I got Greysons's attention.
"(Greyson) I'm sorry I never wanted this."
"(Bailey) It's okay."
I touched his cheek. He looked at me and put my hand down.
"(Greyson) You should keep it on the wound."
"(Bailey) I'll always love you Greyson remember that."
"(Greyson) Don't say that you're going to be fine."
Another shot was fired and Liam dropped to the ground. His lifeless body just laid there while all the red liquid spilled from his body.
"(Bailey) ......."
"(Greyson) Bailey. No don't leave me. Stay with me you're going to be fine. Bailey!!!"
And that was it I saw the white light. I never got to say goodbye but it was my time.
Bonus chapter:
I'd lost her as soon as I found her. The whole idea behind letting her go was to keep her save but, in the end, I can't help but blame myself.
It was my fault that she died in that bank that day and to be honest I'll never be able to forgive myself ever again.
I'd never before gotten attached to someone but she didn't make it easy, did she?
I miss her I'll admit that. It's been a year today since she passed away. And today of all days for some reason I needed her more than ever before.
I needed her to kiss me, hold me, tease me and love me. I needed her to fight with me for not wanting her to be free.
I wanted to let her go in the first few months but I couldn't. I couldn't let her go because I was selfish and greedy.
I never wanted to share her with the world because she had something that tamed my wild side. Something so rare that you'd be stupid if you let it go by just like that.
Not even Olive could tame, my wild side and she knew me far longer than Bailey. Olive helped out with my needs and pleasures but Bailey she cured my pain. She healed my heart.
She made me feel like I belonged and that I to was a good person. She helped me see the light in me that I thought had died a very long time ago.
She made me believe that everyone still had a choice about how they’re future will be.
The shower calmed my thoughts. Because today out of all days they felt like raging oceans. My mind and heart were at war and the only person that could help is no longer with us.
After getting ready I went downstairs and discussed the day's work with the boys.
They were all too eager to do the job and get it done.
"(Greyson) So KeyBank in Seattle is our next target. Word on the streets is that their sitting on a gold mine."
"(Alec) How tight is security?"
"(Greyson) Michael please fill us in."
"(Michael) They got a few guards but nothing we can't handle."
"(Jace) We'll have to make sure they don't press the panic button. Because if they do well have, I'd say about two minutes to go in get the money and get away before the feds arrive."
"(Michael) If that happens, we just take a hostage simple as that."
"(Greyson) No we agreed not to do that anymore."
"(Michael) No Greyson you agreed because your still hung up on what was her name again?"
"(Jace) Bailey."
"(Greyson) Don't you dare ever mention that name again!"
"(Michael) It's time to get over her she was only a hostage after all. If you had killed her when you should have then we'd not have this issue or conversation."
"(Greyson) Fuck you, Michael. Who are you to tell me what I have and shouldn't have done? Last time I checked I call the shots around here not you!"
"(Michael) Well maybe someone else should take over because your judgement is clearly clouded by that thing!"
That was it I walked over to him and knocked him clean on the floor. He grabbed hold of his jaws, rubbed it and got up.
"(Crayon) If you ever speak of her again. I'll make sure to end your useless life. I don't need you, give me hassles once more and I'll replace you just like that. It's time you show some fucking respect! And that goes for all of you innocent or not. Get ready we're leaving soon."
They all nodded and off we went to rob yet another bank. This lifestyle got rather boring and so time consuming. Not to mention tough.
We went inside and I yelled at everybody to get down. And to not push the panic button. And if they did well, they'll meet death early.
So, Michael and Jace went and collected the cash while me and Alec were left keeping the hostages under control.
There was this one girl that looked just like Bailey and it pained me but I knew it wasn't her.
She could never be as beautiful as Bailey. And that's when I got snapped out of my thoughts by Michael yelling to move.
The guy behind the counter had pushed the panic button. So, I did what I do best I got rid of the problem.
Once he dropped to the ground, I made my way for the van. The feds had already showed up. And as I ran to the van one of them shot me.
We had gotten the job done without one of us getting killed. But I got shot and the blood was covering my shirt as well as the back seat and my hand of course.
"(Greyson) How far are we from the hide out?"
"(Michael) About 10 minutes. Why?"
"(Greyson) I'm going to need you to step on the gas and make that 10 minute, 5 because some idiotic cop shot me."
So, Michael did as I said and stepped on the gas. We could be lucky that we didn't get caught because we would have spent our lives in jail.
We haven't broken just one law but several. So, once we reached the house, I yelled at Olive to bring me the first aid kit.
The blood just didn't seem to want to stop and I knew if I didn't treat it soon, I'd die.
After she patched me up, I took some pain killers and went to take a nap. I dreamt of her again like ma my nights before.
Why couldn't I just forget her. I slightly opened my eyes and I could swear I say Bailey but after a while I realized it was Olive.
"(Olive) It pains me that each time you see me you think of her. When will you ever leave the memory of her behind?"
"(Greyson) Never Olive she was my one true love I guess."
"(Olive) I honestly can't put up with this anymore, I'm done."
She got up and was about to walk out before I said something.
"(Greyson) You always thought of us more than we were. Me and you we've always only been friends Olive. We use and abuse one another. So don't blame me for loving her because what she gave me was more real than you could ever hope to give me."
I saw tears falling before she turned around, whispered goodbye and left. Little did I know that I might not see her soon.
