Page 36 of Raven's Daggers
That has my interest piqued.She just sent this twenty minutes ago.So I quickly shoot her a reply back.
Me- Wait, back up! Who the fuck are we fighting?? I was asleep, but I’m awake now because it's too quiet in my house.
Naomi- Bitch there’s a girl here ?? The guys keep pushing her away but she’s not getting the hint. So, I’m about to fight her for you.
Me- Hell NOOO. I’m on my fucking way and don’t say a goddamn word!!!!
Naomi- Oooop they all about to learn today.
Fuming, I close the thread and run upstairs to change clothes. I don’t even care about how I look right now. Slipping into some black jeans and a sweatshirt, I twist my hair into a braid and call it good, adding my dagger holster to my thigh. Going back downstairs, I put on my Converse sneakers, snatch mycar keys off the counter and walk out the door.This is why I don’t do feelings. Am I overreacting? Maybe. Do I give a fuck? Absolutely not.
Pulling onto the highway, I give my car all she's got. Sirens closes at 2, and if I pull up to what I think I’m about to, I pray for that girl if she’s still hanging on my guys.What the fuck? When did they become ‘my’ guys?Running my hands down my face, I push all those thoughts to the back of my mind, my irritation growing. I crank up the radio, drowning in the music.
Walking into Sirens, I see Naomi grab Eddie’s arm from the corner of my eye trying to get his attention. Looking around, I spot all three guys sitting at the bar, completely ignoring the blonde bimbo that’s hanging all over Reyes while they talk to Sierra. Whatever calm I managed to gather on the way here, fucking gone. Hearing Naomi and Eddie call out for me, I ignorethem and storm over to the guys. Luis is the first to notice me and his eyes go wide. Damien notices right as I’m walking up and his face lights up with a mischievous grin.
Grabbing the cunts hair, I yank her head back far enough for her eyes to meet mine.Poor girl looks so confused, and maybe a little pissed off, but I give no fucks.
“Didn’t anyone ever tell you not to touch what doesn’t belong to you?” I seethe, making everyone look my way. She looks up at me again while trying, and epically failing, to look back at the guys.
“Who says one of them isn’t mine, bitch?” She snaps back. Letting go of her hair and spinning her to face me, I grab a dagger from my thigh and bring it to her neck, applying just enough pressure that a drop of blood seeps from under the blade.I could slice her throat right now, and not even blink twice.
“I say. Because he’s mine!” I spit in her face as she tries to turn her head to look at Damien and Luis. Looking over at them, they don’t even make eye contact with her, their eyes are focused on me.
“They're mine too, bitch. Wanna try again?” I mock. “If they already told you once to back the fuck up, don’t you think you should run along and fuck right off?” I add, since apparently she is at a loss for words. Luis gets up and walks behind me to whisper in my ear.
“Let her go Princess, she’s not worth it. We only want you.” He tilts my head, giving the bitch I’m holding onto full view of him as he starts kissing down the side of my neck. Her eyes never leave his face as he traces his tongue across my skin. Reaching his hands in front of me, he grabs my hand and slowly pulls my dagger from her throat, making me take a step back with him.
“You know, you’re one crazy bitch.” She replies back, trying to walk away but I grab her arm.
“Wanna repeat that? I promise, you haven’t seen me crazy yet!” Fuming, I let go of her arm and watch her head towards the door with her friends, but not before Naomi grabs her and says something I can't hear. She looks over at me one more time before Naomi points at the door and she walks out. Hearing laughter from behind me, I turn and look to see Eddie, Zeke and Marco trying and failing to hold it together.
“So, she’s sweet and a psycho. I think I’m in love.” Damien chimes in. Turning and looking at him, I roll my eyes.
“You wanna test that theory?” I take a deep breath to gather myself.
“Baby Girl, we did tell her to back the fuck up. Obviously telling her no wasn’t good enough, so we just started ignoring her.” Reyes shrugs, trying to convince me. I believe them, but apparently I have grown way too protective of them though. Walking over to Eddie and the rest of them laughing, I stop in front of them and raise a brow.
“So, anyone going to fill me in on what’s so funny?” I ask jokingly. I know exactly why they are laughing, but I wanna hear what they have to say. Probably because none of them have ever seen me lose it over a guy, or in my case, three guys.
“Well, we were just talking about how if you were here you’d lose it. To see some random girl all over them. They can tell me you aren’t in a relationship all they want, but I see how they act around you. More so, I see how you are around them.” Zeke cocks a brow and gives me a sly grin. Well so much for keeping my emotions to myself. Apparently, I show them more than I thought.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever. Don’t tell them that, it’ll go straight to their ego.” Rolling my eyes and pointing at the guys over my shoulder. That just makes them all chuckle again.
“Don’t worry kiddo, your secret is safe with us. We’ve noticed how happy you’ve seemed for a while now and it’s okay to behappy, Raven. That’s all I have ever wanted for you.” Eddie chimes in.Am I happy? Is this what happiness feels like?Wanting to change the subject, I start to pry.
“So, what did you need to call the guys here so late for anyway? I’m only wondering what was so important it couldn’t wait until tomorrow.”
“So, the person sending the texts is using an encrypted number. As far as following you, we’ve pulled the feed from here and the gym. There is definitely someone following you, but they always have their jacket hood pulled down over their face so we can’t get a good look. Naomi said you had the feeling you were being watched. Why didn’t you tell us?” Zeke questions, the worry and concern etched on his face.
“Well, like I told her, I chalked it up to my paranoia. Now I know not to ignore it. Look, I wanna do whatever we need to catch this person. He already told me to get rid of the guys or he’s going to do it. The guy at Sinful knew our names. So like what… the... fuck?” I sigh in aggravation. Definitely feels like the same guy but why?
“Who could it be? Do y'all have rivals anywhere? Someone in the trafficking business we missed? I just don’t understand.” I throw question after question, trying to think of anyone.
“We don’t have any rivals that we are on bad terms with, not like this. As far as the trafficking, hmm, we could look more into that. Run through our system on who we’ve taken down and their links again. I don’t know Raven, we’ll figure it out though. We won’t let anything happen to any of y'all.” Eddie reassures me, running his hands through his hair. This is stressing him out just as much as me, I guess. Nodding my head in agreement, I sense the guys coming up behind me.
“Well, let me know what I need to do. I’m going to head back home. Don’t let the men handle it for me, I’m a big girl.” I snide,putting my hands on my hips. The guys all huff out a breath while Zeke and Eddie let out a deep laugh.
“You got it, boss.” Zeke retorts back mockingly.Asshole.
