Chapter 2
Syncere POV:
“Yo watch out! You walking like you about to go beat somebody ass for eating your last piece of cake.” I said, as a short dark brown skin girl ran into me as I was going to the pickup line to get me and Shawn's food. “Excuse me.” The girl said stepping to look up at me. At my six feet four inches height, she was maybe five feet and some inches in height. She was barely reaching my chest.
“No problem you good.” I replied finally able to see who ran into me. She had a pretty face with slanted brown eyes that were so light it almost looked like you chould through them. For a big girl she was really pretty. “Hey, can I get by to pick up my food?” I asked, as she stared at me. Snapping out of her haze, she moved around me quickly. I smiled at how she blushed and seem embarrassed, that I caught her staring at me. “Oh yea, sorry I wasn't looking where I was going.” She responded, brushing past me like she was running from the cops. Just then my phone beeped with a text alert:
Jazz: Where are you?
Me: At the pitt getting lunch with Shawn
Jazz: smh yall always together I was trying to do lunch and spend some time with you.
Me: You should have said something earlier we have already gotten our food.
Jazz: Find I'll just swing y the pitt and chill for a few.
Me: Ok
Putting my phone back in my pocket I grabbed me and Shawn's food and started looking for him in this crowded ass place. I spotted him sitting at the table with none other then the girl who almost ran me over and another girl . She was thick and pretty too. She was a big girl with a small waist. Even though she was sitting I can tell she had a big ass and she had nice breast that she had on display for everyone to see, and I did see them, I mean they were right there. Walking up to the table I heard the shorty that ran into me gasp.
“Yo this was the only table available and these shorties said we could share it with them until another table opened up.” Shawn said as I approached and put our tray on the table. Shorty was still staring at me, I was starting to think I had something hanging out my nose. “Nah it's cool, it's the least shorty could do since she tackled me a few minutes ago.” I said with a laugh trying to break the ice, as her friend looked at her.
“So that's the dude you ran into just now?” Her friend asked. Finally snapping out of her haze. “First of all I did not tackle him, it was more like a tap.” She said with a smile. The way her face lit up when she smiled, I could tell she had a sense of humor. “A light tap my ass, that girl behind the counter had just pissed you off. So you was walking like you was about to go to your car and handle her ass. I didn't even have time to move out of your way.” I said, laughing.
“Shit I was almost on the sick and shut in list, if you would have walked any faster.” I said and we all burst out laughing. “So that's what we doing? We exaggerating now? Oh ok.” She said with a serious face but the humor was still in her eyes. “Damn Essi we haven't been in town a full day and you already committing assault and battery.” Her friend said laughing out loud. “First of all shut up, because if that were true. You just gave him ideas, I promise if I go to jail, because you giving people ideas. I would be pissed and your ass will be sleeping on somebody’s steps.” Essi said with a fake attitude.
“So where yall from?” Shawn asked. “We're from South Carolina, a town called Denmark.” Essi’s friend spoke up. It seems that she was the outspoken one of the duo. “Oh ok, I’ve never heard of Denmark. I have heard of Columbia though, is Denmark near there?” Shawn asked taking a big bite of his burger. “Yea, we’re like an hour away from there. What about yall where are yall from?” Her friend asked. “Well, I'm from York Pennsylvania.” Shawn spoke first. “I’m from Trenton new Jersey.” I said, looking at Essi, who glanced at me but quickly turned away.
“So Essi what’s your major?” I aske trying to get her to talk. “Yea, what's your major? Uh, I don't know your name.” Shawn asked her friend. “Oh my name is Kymoni, and I'm majoring is sports medicine.” Kymoni answered. “Oh ok, cool we play basketball for the school, so more then likely we will be seeing you from time to time. Your professor does hands on training sometimes, he does it as some type of project. where yall would have to work with us.” Shawn said smiling at Kymoni, which was weird because Shawn doesn't do big girls. There’s nothing wrong with them, it's just not what we were into or so I thought.
Remembering Essi didn't say what her major was, maybe they were majoring in the same thing. Turning my attention back to her. “So Essi are you a sports medicine major too?” I asked. “My name is Essence not Essi Ki-Ki is the only person who calls me that, because she couldn't say my name when we were young. But I am majoring in Business focusing on PR and Marketing.” She replied. “Oh ok, that's what's up, Essence.” I said making sure I put emphasis on her name.
“See I know already I can't deal with you and yall haven't told us your names either.” Essence said with a giggle. Her and Kimani seem to be really cool and down to earth type of chicks, unlike the majority of the girls around campus, who only care about clothes, shopping, gossiping, hair and makeup. Although Essence and Kimani were dressed nice they were comfortable, it was different then the usual females. “My name is Syncere but people call me Syn.” I answered. “And my name is Shawn.” Shawn answered.
Chapter 229At the hospital continued: Thomas was shocked by what his son said to his wife. He looked at his wife as she sobbed. “Sharon what the hell did you do? Please tell me what our son just said is a lie. You didn't help a severely injured pregnant woman out of this hospital, now knowing what she could be walking into. That is our granddaughter our flesh and blood, that you put her innocent life in danger, all because your refuse to accept them. I can't believe you what the hell has gotten into you that you would go this far.” Thomas said, looking at his wife like she was a stranger. “Thomas, I would never put our grandchild in any danger. Essence asked me to help her because she knew her family wouldn't allow her to help save her friend.” “And you agreed to it because it would mean that she would be out of our live and our son could be with the person you think is good for your image. Completely ignoring that fact that he was already happy with
Chapter 291AT the hospital: “What happened, is my wife ok?” Thomas asked as he rushed into the hospital room where they told him his wife was being treated. Syncere sat in the corner not caring about his mother’s fainting spell. Sharon laid in bed refusing to look at her son, the doctor checking her vitals gave her time to think. “Your wife is fine she fainted earlier, so we ran some test, everything looked fine although her blood pressure was slightly elevated. So we believe that along with the stress she's been under caused the fainting spell. I told her she needs to get some rest and manage her stress levels.” The doctor said as he walked out of the room. “Honey I'm fine you didn't have to come all the way down here, you’ve been shot and you need lots of rest.” Sharon said to her husband as he kissed her forehead. Thomas looked over at his son who was just sitting there staring a hole into his mother’s head. “Son what's wrong, why are you looking at your mother like tha
Chapter 290At the hospital waiting room: “What the hell is taking them so long? It shouldn't take this long to look at the footage and find out who took Essence. The longer we take to find out what happened the longer it will take for us to find her.” Syncere said as he paced. “Son, watch your language, I still say this is a waste of time, your father is down in the Emergency room with a gunshot wound. He needs our support, more than ever. I am sure once that girl realizes you're not running behind her she will come back.” Sharon said as she stood in front of her son. She was nervous about how long it was taking the director to look at the footage. She didn't want to panic so her only choice was to try to get her son out of the and intercept the Director before she told her son what really happen. Director Waters came into the room followed by her men. “I had a chance to talk to Santiago second to find out if we missed something. After the interrogation, we fi
Chapter 289Back at the hospital: “Sir we can't let you in, the director has strict orders to not allow anyone in.” The guard said to an angry Syncere. “Son why don't you calm down and think for a moment. I think you’re over reacting, and playing right into their hands. How is it that her uncles have no idea what happened and how she manage to get away. They were supposed to be watching over her but somehow, she got a way and they know nothing.” Sharon said eyeing Essence's uncle accusingly. She had to make sure that Syncere doesn't find out that she was the one to help Essence leave. “Ma'am you think we would play with my niece's life by taking her out of the hospital to what exactly? To get your son's attention? That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard. It would serve no purpose to postpone or try and get your son to not take the test. Because all he would do is take the test another day, so it would be useless to go through all that for something that ca
Chapter 288On the drive to Unique's Home-base: “WHAT?! No she didn't pay me to kill you she just told me to drop you off. Why would you trust her to send you anywhere if she wants you dead?” “Because my best friend needs me, she's the only sister I have. She rode for me know I gotta ride for her, if I don't go, she will die. I just know it, no one understands our bond we share the same energy if she knows I’m there she will fight. So I will risk getting in a car that a person who hates me provided I will do it, plus I swiped my uncles favorite gun, that’s been aimed at you since we left.” Essence said as she looked out the window as her tears fell. Aaron's eyes grew wide when he saw the gun she had aimed at him. “Well you don't need that, because I was only paid to drop you off and that's it. Once I drop you off, I hope to never see you again.” The man said shaking his head. He looked out his rearview mirror and saw that a car has been following them since t
Chapter 287Unique’s home-based “Makil, we have dug more than six feet below ground, we have to face that Kiki…” “Don't you fucking say it Kristian, don't you speak that shit into existence. She's here we just have to find her, I am not going to leave her here alone.” Makil said as he used his bare hands to dig in the hard earth. He didn't know he was crying until his tears wet the earth. He couldn't stop until he found his daughter. He knew that his life was over, he just refused to die while his baby was somewhere buried alone. He would make sure that all three of them were buried together. When the brothers got there they immediately started digging right alongside him. After hours of digging and finding nothing they were coming to the conclusion that Kiki didn't make it. “We are not going to stop until we find her, I promise.” Eula said as she knelt beside him and began to dig. She looked at him and saw a man who was broken, and desperate. The brothers
