Shemika's POV

The air in my room felt thick-like it was pressing down on my chest as Synn and I sat there, still trying to process what we'd just heard in that recording.

I strolled out of the kitchen and Synn followed, then we sat at the edge of the bed, thoughtless.

We stared blankly at each other for a while before she finally broke the growing silence.

"We can't just sit here," Synn suddenly blurted, jolting up from the bed and started to pace like she had way too much energy to stay still.

  • Wet Nights    Into The Shadows

    Shemika's POV"Yeah, a very close one." Synn added, almost laughing.Synn turned around and grabbed a glass of wine from one of the waitresses that had been walking around.While she was busy drinking, I noticed Lexi wasn't just dancing. Her moves were perfect-too perfect, but her eyes kept flickering towards the exit door like she was waiting on something, like she was expecting someone or a signal.I looked towards the exit door too, to see if I would catch a glimpse of whatever she was monitoring but I didn't see anything.I wanted to call Synn's attention to it but I stopped myself because I wasn't sure yet.When Lexi's dance ended, she didn't hang around backstage like usual. No smiling, no laughing, no fake flirting with the clients around. She slipped off stage and walked quickly toward one of the side hallways, just by the exit door where she has been staring at lately."There she goes," I immediately grabbed Synn and she didn't hesitate before dropping the glass in her hand.

"We need to track her down. Tonight." She added.I looked up slowly, my brows tightening. "Track her?" I was confused.I really don't want to involve myself in any of Lexi's mess anymore, I already had enough of her. "Yes, we have to follow Lexi. We find out exactly what she's planning and who she's meeting. We won't confront her yet-we will just watch." Synn proposed, but she didn't seem to be asking for my opinion on this, it was as if she was clearly dictating to me what we're gonna do.I h

  • Wet Nights    Before It's Too Late

    Shemika's POVI nodded slowly, my stomach twisting with guilt. Of course I knew what happened. In fact, I was what happened. I was the storm in that chaos last night.Synn was still eyeing me. Like she could see right through me."What?" I asked, forcing a small smile.She crossed her arms. "I don't know. You're acting weird." She mumbled suspiciouslyI laughed, the sound a little too forced. "I'm fine. Just have a headache." I suddenly blurted just to prevent a longer conversation.Synn tilted her head. Then her expression shifted like she had an idea. "Or are you... pregnant?" She slurred with barely open eyes.My eyes went wide."What?!" I cried, my voice shut up so high that I heard the word echo through the hallway and down the last floor of the penthouse."I'm kidding!" she laughed,Fuck, I almost lost my mind.I thought Synn had found out about my pregnancy. I really haven't decided yet, and I'm not certain about keeping the child. And my hope just dropped lower now that Mary s

  • Wet Nights    Twisting With Guilt

    Shemika's POVI didn't waste any second longer in the club, I made my way out immediately and I headed back to the penthouse.Outside the club, I waved a cab down and climbed into it with so much urgency.It was as if I was scared that Bishop would suddenly show up and as far as I'm concerned, he's the last thing I want to see.It wasn't a long ride, I could barely even clear my head in the car before we arrived at the front of the towering building. I stepped out and paid the cab driver before angrily storming away and straight into the penthouse.My heart was pounding really hard and fast, and my chest felt really tight like I had been holding in a scream-one that's driving me crazy. As soon as I stepped into the building and took the elevator to the 7th floor where my room was situated, I barely was paying attention to anything or anybody else. My mind was just too occupied and I felt empty inside.I started to slam my fingers against the elevator's button, I was hitting hard on i

  • Wet Nights    Please Listen

    Bishop's POV"Oh really? Then what was it? You holding her so gently while she cried into your chest? You two looked real cozy!" she smirked her lips and rolled her eyes."She threw herself at me! I pushed her off. She fell and I felt bad. That's it. I swear to God, Shemika." I tried to explain the truth to her, but she doesn't seem to be listening to me.She glared at me, eyes watery now. "You think I'm stupid?""No! Damn it, no! I swear on everything, Shemika. I didn't want her here. I didn't even know she was coming. Dom brought her in. She ambushed me." I couldn't believe I was already sounding like I was begging.I didn't care.For Shemika? I would do worse than begging.Of course, I would lay my pride down for her.Shemika hissed and turned around to walk into the elevator, but I grabbed her instantly, pulling her firmly into my chest. "Shemika please." I pleaded.She didn't try to listen still, instead, she tried to pull away again, but I didn't let go. I pulled her into a hug.

  • Wet Nights    Soft Hatred

    Bishop's POVIf it's the same Mary that I used to know, then I'm certain she'll never come back to me. Mary would never hurt her pride for me. "Yes Boss, she's the one." Dom responded."And she said she wants to see me?" I asked again, still shocked."Yes, boss. She insisted." Dom answered.I didn't even have time to process Dom's response before the door burst open.Mary stormed into my office like she owned the place. Her heels clicking hard against the marble floor as she made her way in. Her eyes were teary, her lips shaking like she was at the verge of breaking down. Dom reached for her, trying to stop her.I noticed her expression, she wasn't looking okay. Something was wrong."It's fune. Let her come," I told Dom, waving him off.Dom hesitated for a moment, then nodded and stepped back out, gently closing the door behind him.I stood from my seat, surprised more than anything. And definitely annoyed. "What are you doing here, Mary?" I asked plainlyI didn't even finish the que
