Shemika's POV

We 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Wet Nights    Eyes

    Shemika's POVThe 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. "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
