Shemika's POV

I really don't care if he ended up hurting me, I just know that I'll feel more stupid if I didn't do this-if I didn't go after him to see his face clearly and maybe challenge him.

I tripped as I rushed out of the elevator but I didn't care, nobody was around to see me anyway. The entire room in the penthouse was practically empty, everybody was downstairs, so I didn't waste much time on my knees as I fell, I simply pulled myself together and lifted myself up.

  • Wet Nights    Smug

    Shemika's POVThe drive was smooth but suspiciously quiet.Unlike me, whenever I was inside Bishop's car, I was always in an argument with him, either fighting him over the thinnest thing or just bringing up trouble for devil's sake. But it was different now, I was quiet, shockingly quiet, and scared to death.Bishop kept stealing quick glances at me while he drove but my eyes remained fixed on the road. I didn't just want to think about my own death before it happened.Bishop pulled over into his house. Of course, the biggest mansion I've seen so far. Bishop's penthouse was dim, the light warm and soft, casting long golden shadows across the walls. I sat stiffly in the car, still scared. I was now in Bishop's house, anything can happen here and nobody will even know what ever happened.If Bishop really brought me here to have dinner with him, then why can't we simply go to a restaurant to have it? Why his house? Why this big, extremely beautiful building?Bishop stepped out of the c

The entire room in the penthouse was practically empty, everybody was downstairs, so I didn't waste much time on my knees as I fell, I simply pulled myself together and lifted myself up. I didn't stop running, I kept storming towards the rooftop like I was assigned a mission there.By the time I reached the rooftop, he was gone.The wind was sharp and cold against my skin, carrying an eerie kind of silence. I looked around frantically-no footsteps, no shadow, nothing."FUCK!" I screamed out loud."Where did he go? Goddammit!" I shouted, still breathing heavily, almost finding it hard to catch my breath.I ran my hand into my hair and angrily kicked my foot forward.Fuck, I thought I could find some

  • Wet Nights    Challenge

    Shemika's POVI turned back around and looked at Synn one last time, "I'll be leaving now." I mumbled the words to her.She barely looked up at me, but she nodded her head anyway.My fingers wouldn't stop shaking as I zipped up my jacket and prepared to step out. But just as I was about to walk out of the room, loud screams suddenly erupted in the entire penthouse-echoeing down the hall and mostly at the ground floor.My hand was still on the doorknob when I paused to listen carefully to the loud screams. It was real, people were really screaming, really loud and tragically. In fact, this isn't ten, twenty people screaming, it was the entire performers in the penthouse that were all screaming."Something's wrong-people are screaming!" Synn gasped, barely catching her breath."I'm hearing it too." I said fearfully.Synn didn't even wait to ask questions. She picked her jacket and threw it over her shoulders, snatched her phone from the table beside her, and without saying any other wo

  • Wet Nights    Watching

    Shemika's POV"You really didn't see him?" I asked again, softer this time."I didn't," she said. But she still wouldn't meet my eyes.Before I could push further, my phone buzzed against the table. I picked it up lazily, expecting one of the girls from the club-or maybe Lexi wanting to make sure I was keeping my mouth shut.But the name on the screen stopped my breath.It was Bishop.He just messaged me.I stared at the screen, reading the message twice before my fingers twitched."What were you doing there, Shemika? I thought I asked you to stop prying... What were you doing there? At the club." The message read.My heart dropped into my stomach.The fork slipped from my fingers, hitting the plate with a loud clatter that made Synn flinch."What is it?" she asked immediately.I didn't answer. My eyes were already scanning the room, my neck stiff as I checked every corner, every shadow, even the ceiling."Was he watching me? Right now?" I thought.What the hell did I just read?How d

  • Wet Nights    Really?

    Shemika's POVWe couldn't stare any longer so I blinked sharply and snapped my fingers at Synn's face and she immediately jolted back to life too.I looked at her weakly, "I think I'm done here, I'm heading back home." I blurted coldly."Wait, I'm coming with you. I'm heading home too, I'm fucking tired of this goddamn suspense and shit." Synn snapped and without another word, she grabbed her bag and we both headed out of the club and back to the penthouse where we could find a little piece of our peace.***The penthouse had never felt this cold before. Maybe it was the chill from what I saw earlier on the underground floor.I couldn't take my mind off it and for some reason, I can't stop thinking about it.Synn prepared pasta and she served it at my dining table. I couldn't eat much though, I couldn't collect my appetite.I was busy twirling my fork in the pasta without tasting a damn thing. As much as I tried not to be noticed, Synn finally observed and obviously, she wouldn't kee

  • Wet Nights    Secret Hallway

    Shemika's POVHer eyes stayed wide with panic, but after a few seconds, she nodded.We stayed completely still, hearts thudding so loud I was sure whoever was out there could hear us, however, the footsteps passed-slow, steady-and then faded.When we were sure it was clear, we crept out of the hiding and peeped through the holes to confirm everything was clear before stepping out.Then without hesitation, we rushed out and made our way out of the underground shit we found ourselves.Lexi and Synn were at my front and they made their way out already, but I didn't follow them immediately. I saw something.Something really strange and it made my heart thud twice.Of course, I wasn't daydreaming, I did see it.It was someone, a man, in an apron-bloody apron. He looks like a butcher from a horror movie and then the knife. The knife he was holding wasn't just a knife, it looked strange and everything about the way he had blood all over him made it even more creepy.I tried to look away, to

So I tossed out my phone and a quick thought instantly slipped into my mind.My heart was heavy with a
