?Karmic ending?

? 18 ?

"I been grown what you talking bout" she grumbled before getting up and going to the kitchen.

The tension that was there before filtered back in. Once I gathered the courage to look up at him I almost choked at the intensity of his eyes.

"What?" I asked curiously.

He lowered his fierce gaze and shook his head.

"He didn't hurt did he?" He asked and my chest tightened at his question.

"Whatchu you mean?" I asked knowing exactly who he was referring to.

"Just be careful" he said and before I could say anything else Chloe came around with drinks in her hand.

"Here. I know you must be thirty. I know my uncle fine as hell" she said and the man choked on air.

"Count on you to embarrass anyone" I mumbled taking a sip of the opened green apple flavored smirnoff.

"So when can we start?" Chloe asked her uncle, completely ignoring me.

"Today would be good"

✴~~✴

It was now nearing the evening hours of 4 pm. Chloe and I just stocked up and tapped a few boxes of items, labelling them.

My phone buzzed for the thousandth time today.

"Girl ain't you gone answer that or text. Looks like whoever is contracting you ain't quitting" she said scratching her raised brow.

"It's whatever" I muttered sweeping out a few loose papers on the ground.

After a few minutes we closed up with the key he gave us and we took a cab back to the hotel.

"Hey I'm gonna go talk to Killian he sent me a text" Chloe said and I raised my brow at her.

"Y'all on texting basis and you ain't tell me. What happened to telling each other everything?" I narrowed my eyes as we exited the elevator.

"This is different" she said fanning me off.

"Amma snatch that weave off ya head. Bout some this is different" I muttered once we parted ways.

Once I opened the room door I took in a long breath feeling the air conditioning hit me full force.

I switched on the lights and gasped, holding a hand on my chest.

Arthur sat legs up on the bed, an unlit blunt between his lips.

"Why are you on the bed with your outside clothes?" I asked crossing my arms.

"Where were you the whole day?" He asked coolly running a hand through his hair.

I looked at his brow to see a band aid over it.

"Are you my daddy?" I said more than asked.

"Just answer me" he said with a steal like glare.

For a second I had to look behind then back at him wondering who the fuck he was talking to.

"Excuse the fuck outta me" I mugged him with my hand on my hips.

"Your excused" he said fighting off a grin.

"I was busy. Was out the whole day with Chloe" I replied.

"Oh really?. Then why did she tell Killian she had no idea where you were" he said standing up on his feet.

A smug grin appeared on my face.

"What's with all the questions. You like me or something?" I asked taking a few brave steps towards him.

His eyes shifted from mine for a moment before returning with a cold like glint to them.
