The Gangster & The Good Girl [ Part 6]

As Raqualita sat there in the bedroom on the bed in shock she starred at the door, replaying that moment when Michael told her about his life.
Compared to hers his life was more painful and harder to live with than hers.
She laid down on her back as she stared at the white ceiling, she somehow couldn't help, but feel sorry for Michael and think about him.
It was as if she was starting to develop feelings for him that she didn't have before when she got here but then she shook her head and rubbed her eyes roughly as she thought to herself " what the heck am I thinking?!? He's a criminal! A thug!, a killer! I cannot possibly think about him like that! And besides we're too different. He's tough and hardcore, and cusses like a sailor and if I said or did any of those things he does my mother would slap the taste out of my mouth!" She then sat up as she said to herself " I should really apologize to him though..." she sighed as she got up and walked down the stairs to see all of the other guys except for Michael in the living room, she then sees Michael's best friend and assistant as she walks up to him and says " hey Greg, do you know where Michael's at?" then the man looks at her and says " I'm Reggie!, Michael's in the basement arranging the guns...." Raqualita then said " oh ok thanks..." Reggie nodded as Raqualita was making her way towards the basement she heard one of the members yell " Aye yo! boss bout to get some ass ya'll!!!" everyone laughed as Raqualita rolled her eyes and said under her breath " ugh men...".
As she entered into the basement she saw Michael sitting down with his back turned as he was polishing a AK 47.
She exhaled sharply as she said softly but loud enough for him to hear " Michael?..." Michael didn't answer he just kept polishing his gun as Raqualita walked a little closer towards him as she said " about earlier...." Michael then said in a low tone " what about it?...." His tone made her stop in her tracks as she said " I'm sorry about what I said it was very insensitive of me and I didn't mean to make you mad--" then Michael cuts her off as he said " Babygirl I ain't mad trust me if I were mad you would've been dead by now..." Raqualita was confused as she said " then why did you leave like that?" Michael then said " because you made me upset" Raqualita then said " soo I made you mad?" Michael then said " no you made me upset "
Raqualita then said " which is the same as mad?".
Michael then said " listen just shut the fuck up aight?..." Raqualita immediately pressed her lips together and kept quiet as Michael then turned to look at her from the corner of his eye as he got up and put the gun up on the wall as he sees Raqualita smiling at him as he then says " what?" Raqualita walks up closer to him as she said " I saw you staring at me at that gang acceptance thingy" Michael quickly looked down at his feet as he said " I don't know what you're talkin about..." Raqualita laughed as she playfully hit his arm and said " yes you do!" Michael looked at her with a crooked smile as he said " ok I was staring at you" then Raqualita said " ha! I knew it" Michael then said " well how can't I stare at yo fine ass?".
Raqualita, rolled her eyes as she said " oh please I'm not that attractive..."
Michael raised his eye brow as he said " you're fucking with me right?...."
Raqualita shook her head no as she said " no, I don't think I'm all that..."
Michael then laughed as he rubbed the back of his neck as he then sighed and said " sit down..." Raqualita looked at him with question as Michael then said " sit down girl!"
Raqualita sat down in the chair quickly as Michael then said " look I have never said anything like this to a girl before but..." he stopped as he got close to Raqualita so close she could feel Michael's breath on her lips as he continued saying in a soft whisper " you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my mother fucking life...." Raqualita looked into his eyes for a couple of seconds as she bit her bottom lip and softly said " thanks..." Michael then said " your welcome..." slowly as he licked his lips while staring at her mouth then backed up as he cleared his throat as he picked up another gun and said " um...I'm gonna get back to doing this...um stuff..." he cleared his throat again as Raqualita smiled and got up and said " well can I help?!" Michael laughed and said " you with guns? Hell no!" Raqualita then said " aw why? They're not loaded are they?" Michael then said " hell yeah they are! plus I'm not gonna let you shoot my ass just because I'm not gonna let you go and besides where I come from a man does his own work"
Raqualita nodded as she just watched Michael then Michael looked at her and said " can I help you?"
Raqualita then asked " how old are you?" Michael then said " why do you want to know?" Raqualita then said " because you know everything about me..."
Michael then said " and?..."
Raqualita then said " and I figure I would like to know how old you are"
Michael then said " 23 years old" Raqualita looked shocked as she said " really?! You're so young!" Michael then said " yeah I know...." Michael then puts down the gun as he looks at Raqualita and says " look I'm about done here so you wanna go check on the guys and see what they are doin' or you gonna stay here?" Raqualita then quickly walked with Michael and as they were walking out of the basement she began noticing his physical features as she thought to herself " wow he's so good looking...his cheeks bones are so cute and high and his eyes are so deep and piercing! and oh lord his hands are so big!! his fingers are so long too...and his lips look soft I just want to kiss....wait! What the heck am I thinking!?! He is a criminal!, a leader of a gang! He's holding you hostage for god sake! You shouldn't be feeling this way about him!"
As they walked into the living room it was filled with cigar and marijuana smoke in the air as the guys were drinking and smoking as one of them spoke to Michael and said " aye boss come join us we got a seat and drink here for you..." Michael laughed as he said " so ya'll chose to start without me?!" as he sat down Reggie handed him a glass of whiskey as Raqualita stood next to Michael feeling out of place as she watched the men laughing and having a good time.
One of the members, Fernando a Puerto Rican man spoke as he said " aye boss since the new guys are gonna come we were gonna probably have some chicks dance for us and shit, you up for it?"
Michael had a big grin on his face as he heard that he then said " aw shit! really!? Hell yeah its been a long time since I've seen some ass man...."
Snake who was clearly drunk sat up in his chair as he said " hey boss, maybe the little hostage can dance for us too and take us upstairs for a little somethin', somethin' extra if ya know what I mean?..." Snake laughed as Michael swiftly turned his head towards Snake's way as he then suddenly pulled him up from his seat by grabbing onto his neck and then pinning him against the wall and choking him as said softly but coldly " no..."
As he looked into his eyes with a dark and penetrating expression in his dark brown eyes.
He then looked at Raqualita as he said to her " Raqualita, go upstairs and don't come out for the rest of the night..."
Raqualita looked at him with question as she began to say " but--" But Michael cuts her off as he says " but nothing girl! Get ya ass upstairs! Do as I say!"
Raqualita then walked up the stairs as she said " dang, what was that all about?" as she went into the bedroom and locked herself in.
