middle console in the car and grabbed her hand as I tried to pull her back towards me.
I saw a slight glimmer under the car next to me and realized Candy dropped her gun. He continued to pull her ankle, which caused me to hit the cement. I could feel the skin on my legs tear instantly but I couldn’t allow this man to pull her to the van that had my car blocked in. I looked at Candy as she stared back up into my eyes and mouthed the words ‘let go’. I shook my head vigorously, getting pissed off by the second. Everything was happening so fast, I didn’t know what to do. Looking at the gun again, I quickly let go of Candy and rolled towards the other car.
I got the gun just as he was dragging a kicking Candy across the cement towards the van. I aimed the gun at him, closed my eyes, and squeezed the trigger over and over until it made a clicking sound. I heard tires screech and I still didn’t open my eyes. It wasn’t until I heard a light chuckle that I opened them up one at a time. Candy was slowly trying to stand to her feet while laughing. “Bitch, how you think you gone shoot somebody with your eyes closed?” she asked and smiled while she made her way to me.
“Who was that?” I asked as I completely ignored the fact that she found anything about this situation comical. She could have been kidnapped or worse!
She shrugged her shoulders, “I didn’t see his face,” she answered nonchalantly. “You did good though. You saved me. Thanks,” she said and extended her hand to take her gun before helping me up. Both of our legs were bleeding but her arms and side were also bleeding, and her dress was ripped.
“Rashard!” I yelled as I suddenly remembered he was just there. I ran around to the side of the car to find Rashard laid out on the passenger side of my car. He was knocked out but breathing with a gash on his head. I shook him as hard as I could as I tried to wake him up, but he didn’t make a single noise.
“Ya’ll ok?” I heard a smooth deep voice ask as people gathered around. I looked up and my breath got caught in my throat. I wanted to respond but I’d never seen a man that rendered me speechless by looks alone. This man was tall, muscular, light skin, he had perfect teeth and grey eyes!
“Tamia, is he ok?” Candy asked, which snapped me out of my trance as she limped her way to me. She almost fell but Deuce caught her in the nick of time.
“Aye Brandon, help me get my boy up,” he said to the light skin Greek god that stood before me. “Ya’ll hop in Tamia’s whip and follow us,” Deuce demanded. He shoved me lightly so I could move out of their way, so they could pick Rashard’s body up. Candy tapped me lightly as she gestured for my keys. I tossed them to her before I climbed into the passenger seat. Looking down at the floor by my feet, I thought about Armani while looking at her fingernails.
Rashard
I need to hurry up and get this picture to Tamia, get her home, and get the full story of what happened. I know Tamia isn’t going to vent to Candy and I know Candy isn’t going to ask what’s going on, so this is something that I have to do. I checked the outside cameras and couldn’t find Michelle or Tiffany anywhere, so hopefully they decided against the dumb move they were about to make. The faster I got to Tamia, the faster I could get to Chardae to see what’s going on with this pregnancy.
“Yea?” I answered the phone.
“Aye I’m out, you good?” Rafael asked.
“Yea, be easy,” I said and disconnected the call. I made sure everything was in order before I checked each camera one last time. Everything was clear so I hopped on my elevator to get the other elevator, so I could ride it down to the club floor. Walking out of the door, something seemed off but since I’ve been feeling like this for the last hour or so, I don’t really know what to think at this point.
It’s bad that I had to put a rush on this thing with Tamia, so I could get to
