Are you ready?!
Because I'm not ready!
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I'm scared as shit right now.
Who knew that I'd be in a literal life or death situation.
Who knew my best friend would turn out to be one of the most feared gang leaders in the world.
Who knew her parents would be the second most feared gang in the world.
Who knew we'd be at battle with my best friend's parents.
"Aspen stay near Thunder at all times" Carolina demands with a serious tone
I nod my head as I turn to face Charlotte. She hands me a handgun and a dagger.
"Use those wisely" She says
"Do you know how many people we're going to be fighting?" I ask with a worried tone
She turns and faces me when she hears my worried tone.
"A couple hundred" she says honestly
"Charlotte, I'm not ready" I say as I hold out the weapons for her to take
I don't think I'm ready for this.
What if we get caught and end up in jail?
What if I got killed?
What if Charlotte got killed?
God, I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
She means too much to me.
"What do you mean you're not ready?" She asks as she grabs the weapons from my hands and places them on the ground beside her
"I'm not ready for this lifestyle, there's too many dangers and risks" I say as she stares deeply into my eyes
"But isn't that the point of life, to take risks" She questions with a smile but I don't return it
"Yeah, but Charlotte, this is serious shit," I say as I point to the giant building
"If we make one wrong move we'll all be dead" I say which makes her press her lips together in thought
"You're right, but if you keep your guard up you'll be able to predict your targets next move" She says matter of factly
I look at her and sigh before grabbing her hands.
"I'm still terrified of what could happen us, what could happen to you" I say which makes her smile
"I'm going to be fine" she says reassuringly
"How do you know that?" I ask her seriously
It happened so quickly that I didn't react at first.
She quickly lets go of my hands and places her chilled ones on my cheeks before leaning in and placing a firm kiss on my lips.
Our lips slowly move in sync as we share a passionate kiss.
It made me feel warm and tingly.
Those are the best types of kisses.
We pull away from each other with labored breaths.
"I don't know, but I'm willing to take that risk as long as you're by my side" she whispers as our foreheads rest against each other
"I'll be here for you, forever and always" I whisper back with a smile which causes her to smile too
