ROMA

Meet me for lunch at the cafeteria x
I stare at the text Charisma has sent. My sister never eats lunch in the cafeteria because she's a paranoid person.
By paranoid, I mean keeping-two-guns-and-a-knife-in-your-pocket paranoid.
That's a thing, trust me.
I sigh as soon as the lunch bell rings and pocket my phone, standing up.
I love Charisma but lunches with her are as fun as chasing a snake.
As I walk down the hall, something doesn't feel right.
It's like....someone's watching me.
But I can't hear any footsteps.
I put my hand subtly on my thigh to feel my small knife.
My father raised us Tchaikovskys to not leave home without a weapon, considering we have enemies everywhere.
I'm about to turn around and look when a hand roughly pulls me into a classroom.
"What the fuck?!" I hiss and Richard clamps his hand over my mouth.
We're chest to chest. Shit, he smells incredible.....
I mentally smack myself. This is the man your sister despises. She might as well castrate him someday.
Richard pulls his hand away and I instantly miss his warmth.
"There's people stalking you, princess" He whispers "We need to hide. Fast"
I look around and something catches my eye just as footsteps echo down the hall.
I gently shove Richard towards the closet, my arm still in his grip and he locks it from inside.
The classroom door is shoved open.
"Don't. Breathe" I say so quietly I'm surprised he hears it.
He gulps in a breath and I do the same.
Minutes later, we hear a desk falling.
"Where is the bitch?!" A male voice spits.
"Must've gone somewhere else. It's lunch time, Asher" A woman's clipped tone chimes in.
"I heard that her sister eats outside of school grounds" Asher grunts and Richard eyes me cautiously
"Maybe she's there?" The woman says.
"It's worth a shot. Literally" The man says and the woman huffs.
"Come on, Marie" He says and their footsteps fade as they walk out of the classroom.

Richard lets out the breath he was holding and I do the same when it's obvious the coast is clear.
"Fucking hell,woman" He says "How many people are after you all?"
"Almost everyone in the mafia or cartel" I sigh.
"Well,fuck"
I realise he's not got out of the closet and neither have I.
We're in close proximity right now.
He brushes a piece of hair from my face and I shiver at his touch.
"Roma" He growls and reality hits me as the lunch bell rings.
Shit. Charisma is going to kill me.
I walk out fast and he follows me.
Unfortunately, the universe isn't on my side today since I bump into Kaia.
Her mouth drops open as she stares behind me.
I am mortified.
The asshole behind me is not.
Kaia stares at us, gaping like a goldfish as I secretly curse fate.
Why do I always end up in these situations?!

A/N; this is a filler ffs-
