Chapter 5

FIVE YEARS LATER

ATHENA 'S POV

Ella sat on the table infront of me .she was in her shorts and crop top .she was going out by the way she was dressed .she had gained a lot of weight in the passed years

"And where are you going all dressed up .?" I asked 

"I am going out and you are coming with me " 

"Nop...I am busy " I honestly hated going out because it reminded me of memories of Rosie and mark 

" Oh come on Athena, you just turned 16.there is no need to act like your over 40, always concentrating of the heists.."Ella  wouldn't stop bugging me,she had been pressuring me to go out .

" Not interested"

"Okay,i will just go to the twins and tell them that you said you wanna join them on their science projects"she said innocently

 over the passed years , we built a crew of homeless kids. Those that needed our help, that's  how we came across the twins.they love science so much. In the house I had found when I was eleven ,we lived at the a total 80.  We shared the rooms of course.

we filched  food, money, jewelry and every that could be useful for us . 

They all gave me a nickname of *TIGRESS* . It was because of my temper. I was the boss in there.

"You wouldn't dare"I threatened

" Wanna bet on it"

I knew she would definitely do it just to get on my nerves .

" Okay fine , but on one condition ..I don't change" she looked at me as if I have grown horns 

" in that?" pointing at me. I was wearing sweatpants and a hoody 

 "yes ,take it or leave it "

 she signed "fine ,let's go"

I got up and put everything in order .

"Okay , come on " 

She hugged my shoulder and guarded me out .

We strolled all the way to the park in the city . 

"You know athena , I always wonder what will happen to all of us if something were to happen to you..." She said as we took a seat under the tree

"Nothing will happen to me Ella ,"

"But what if it does, have you thought about it?" 

"If something were to happen me,there is enough money to help you all ...it in the safe " I said looking at the clouds.

She was right , anything could happen. I witnessed and experienced it when Rosie and PAPI died.

"A safe ????" 

"Yes ...it in the living room under the carpet , exactly under the coffee table ." I explained 

"Wow ,never knew we had a safe ...wait is there a pin code?" 

"No" 

"Mmmh..okay then " she rested against the tree. 

We sat in peaceful silence .

"Athena ???"

"Mmmm??" 

" Haven't you wondered how it would be like to have a boyfriend"

"Honestly yes..I have." 

"The first kiss, how he would touch you and you first time having sex " 

" stop" 

"OMG YOU ARE BLUSHING" she laughed

"no im not" I defended

"What kind of a guy do you want ?" She asked with interest

" I want a man that respect a  woman , a man that is fearless ,a man that is a looks dangerous " I said honestly 

" well you could go for Sam he is always looking at you,plus he is hot" 

" so if he is hot as you say then keep him...he all muscles but a wimp " 

" NO WAY ,HE IS -" she was cut off by a cleared throat 

We turned our heads to look at the owner of a cleared throat. My eyes almost popped out at who was infront of us. standing infront of us was a man that we robbed his shop and threw eggs at him months back .

In his hands was a belt . He had backup of hulk boys . 

,I gulped

" oh shit" 

"Now let's see if you can still laugh after I'm done punishing you for what you did to my shop....or maybe I will just have some fun with your bodies "he said looking down at me smirking,

He was an excellent explanation of the words ugly, disgusting,every bad word ever existed.

"How are we going to get out of this one ,we are trapped"Ella whispered lowly that I almost missed it..I turned to her and gave her a *they-are-stupid* look, luckily she understood

" FUCK... ITS THE COPS"I said waiting for their mistake which I knew they would make and I was right ,the moment they turned their heads to look ,we took off . 

"GET THEM " 

" Ella go straight to the house I will hold them off , I need to teach them never to disturb a lady's day out "

"But -"

"GO..." I cut her off angrily ,she knew never to test my patience even though I would never hurt her..I stopped and watched her till she was out of sight.

"Well well well,looks like your friend ditched you"ugly said

 "Do you know it's inappropriate to disturb a lady's day out ??" I asked looking at them..

" Do you also know it's inappropriate to steal in someone's shop ??" He shot back 

" Yes , unless he is a douchebag"  

" You fucking bitch will pay for what you did to my shop ..GET HER " 

"Do you know who TIGRESS is ??" 

"who doesn't know about her!, what? she is your sister? You are not gonna fool me again girl ,GET HER" 

They came running like fools they are towards me . 

Kicking the first one on the stomach and stumped on his knee  breaking it .

The  second one tried to punch me but I dodged .I took a hold of his arm and  dislocated it from his  shoulder

The third one ,past out with just a punch and a face kick.

"to answer your question,i am tigress'"I said smirking, walking towards him

He charged first ,I gave him an angry butterfly kick on the head,and he was out

"fucking pussy, didn't even last long"I said spitting on his face

"Just what I was looking for"I turned to see a man leaning against the wall ,damn that's hot

"boss is definitely going to reward me " walking towards me

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME...I AM NOT IN THE MOOD "I yelled ,not that I was afraid but because  I was fuming in anger. I felt like killing someone,

"No can do , little mouse"trying to touch me,out reflexes I punched him on the face ..he stumbled back . I used that as an opportunity to strike but he front kicked me , sending me back to the ground

" YOU FUCKING BITCH"giving me a hot slap .

He did know how to slap because my cheek hurt alot
