Alysaa's pov.
As we entered the building, I started receiving stares that seemed threatening, I never minded them and neither do I now.
"Damn…, you're really popular"
"Hmm"
I rolled my eyes as I started calling him a jerk in my mind. This dude seems to be of importance so I don't need my head on a killing list. As we started walking to what seemed to be a private elevator to the top floor, I heard a bunch of gasps, and whispering.
"Who is she?"
"She's hot"
"She has some nice curves"
"How does she know the CEO"
"Did she sleep her way up"
"Yea right, our CEO hasn't put his hands on any girl, he always pushed them away"
"Plus he's known to be cold to everyone"
Geez, this guy sure has a reputation… Once we entered the elevator, I felt my phone buzz, I ignored it because it couldn't be important. It was 2:30 PM(14:30), I didn't really receive any important calls at this hour except for scams. I simply ignored it and moved on. As we reached the top we entered his office, we sat down on opposite sides. That's when things started getting serious.
Ian:'' Alright, I don't love you, and i never wanted this to happen, this is only business, so don't get your hopes up princess."
What?
Does…. does he think I like him, even worse love him. What a joke. I sat there frozen from shock, but not for long.
"Pfft, hahah, man you're hilarious you know that"
Ian:" this isn't a joke, I am serious"
"Bro…. I don't even know who the fuck you are. Plus it was supposed to be my "oh so beloved sister", Roselle. I don't like you even worse love you alright. Yeah you're hot i'll give you that but no thanks."
He sat there frozen as if he'd seen a ghost. I guess he's used to everyone liking him.
"Look, most people kiss your ass, but not me. I get it, you're higher and richer than me, I get it, and I don't care."
I was going to continue but then I got frustrated by the continuous buzzing of my phone. Out of annoyance I grabbed my phone and answered without looking at the caller ID.
"What?!"
"Yo! It's Lila! We ran into some trouble and Carl got shot. He's in xxxxx hospital, hurry up and get your ass over mensa(idiot), and next time I call you pick up dumbass!"
And with that she hung up, leaving me confused and desperate.
"Son of a bitch!"
Ian:"what happened?"
"My friend got hurt, do you have a car I can take?!"
Ian:" I'll take you, let's go"
He left no room for argument and neither did I. We rushed down and as soon as we got to the underground parking lot, I started picking up the pace.
"Yo! Let me drive!"
He was hesitant at first but still gave me his keys. We got in the car, I buckled myself in and turned the car. When i turned to Ian he was just getting in the car, I got frustrated and pulled him in the car and buckled him in.
"Hold on princess this is gonna get bumpy!"
I raced out the parking lot breaking the parking garage monitor. I heard the tires screech, and damn that's gonna leave a mark… I sped through streets, swerving every car that passed our way. I started honking to get the cars to move before they got hit. After 2 minutes I heard sirens behind me, and damn the rush I was feeling was phenomenal. We made it to the hospital in 10 minutes. I parked the car somewhere I just didn't bother looking. When I turned to the side I saw that Ian had a terrified face, I wanted to laugh but I had to hurry up and get beside my best friend.
"What?, never gone that fast princess?"
I said as I rushed out the car and into the hospital. I got the entry things finished and headed up to Carl's room. Carl was one of the kids in the orphanage so me and Lila always hung around him. He was only 8. We took a liking to him because of how quiet and simple he was. He always stayed true to himself and never changed for anyone, and me and Lila liked that.
"Aye! What happened I thought ya'll only went to the park to play a little"
L:"we did but then, Ricky and his gang showed up. They were looking for you. He said to meet him at that park by xxxxx street, and if you don't show up he'll shoot up the orphanage…..!"
"Yo wtf?! How did Carl get shot though?"
L:" He said to take it as a warning…."
"If the motherfucker wants to meet me and to start trouble, then he gets it. I'm gonna meet him tonight."
L:"bitch I'm not gonna let you go by yourself, 'stas loca!(you're crazy)."
"Duh, I know that, we both swore on it."
"No matter what problems we face, Las dos juntas lo hacemos(both of us face it together)"
"When can he leave?"
L:"once he wakes up, they said it didn't hit him in any vital parts, so he should be fine"(not irl, you'd need at least 2-3 days in the hospital depending)
"Look he's waking up..!"
L:"joder(fuck) Carl, you scared me!"
C:"I-i'm sorry…."
"It's ok, I'm gonna ask the orphanage if I can steal you for a night or two okay?"
C:"r-really?!"
L:"You know if she says something, she means it"
C:"o-ok… when can I leave…?
Doctor:" right after we take a couple test to make sure you're stable"
L:"damn foo, you scared me, don't do that… knock next time…."
Doctor:"A-apologies, could you please step out, while i run the tests"
Me and Lila stepped out of the room, and started talking.
L:"so, how you gonna take care of him tonight, we gotta go meet ricky, and we got the race to go to"
"Don't worry I got that covered…." i hope….
