ASSASSIN'S SANITY

CHAPTER 14

Past

Tami took a sigh as she walked out to the fresh air. She opened her clutch, happy she had held unto it and that she had brought a pack of cigarettes with her. She pulled out a stick of cigarette and her lighter. She held the clutch in the space between her body and her hand, arm pits. She brought the stick of cigar to her lips and lit it up with her lighter. She took a swig of the cigarette and let out the smoke.

Nicotine rush was just what she needed, thirty minutes of being light headed and nonchalant would calm her down. She would not have minded standing outside till the party ended but Jeff called her phone endlessly. The fact that she did not answer obviously aggravating him.

“Hey” She said putting the phone on her ear finally.

“Where the f**k are you?” Jeff asked, he was pissed like she had expected “Are you okay, I am f*****g worried.”

“I just stepped out.” Tami replied

“Where are you?”

“Outside.”

“Get back inside now Tams!!” Jeff ordered. “Now!!!”

“Why you yelling at me?” Tami asked getting pissed also “I am leaving”

“Tami” Jeff said taking a deep breath “An assassin is after you.”

“What?” Tami's eyes widened in fear, surprise, so many emotions. “I am coming in now.”

“Don’t worry.” Jeff replied “I already found you.”

Tami turned to see Jeff coming to her he was angry. He grabbed her by her hands and pulled her with him. He was quiet all along the way. They met up with Cod, Klaus and Steve who were standing beside a silver Toyota. Klaus tossed Jeff some keys which he caught.

“Jeff.”

Jeff turned to the person who had called his name. It was Pedrov.

“Get in the car Tami.”

Tami obeyed as Cod opened the door for her.

“Jeff, Jeff” Steve held unto him but he pulled his hand out as he made his way to Pedrov.

Tami looked at the scene before her, it was like they were all scared to stop him, even Klaus who was the biggest did nothing to stop Jeff as he punched Pedrov twice and the older man fell to the ground. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at Pedrov.

“Jeff” Klaus called “don’t be f*****g rash.”

“The bastard sent a f*****g assassin after my Tami” Jeff said his hand was shaking as he held the gun in Pedrov's face. It was not shaking due to fear, it was due to anger.

"She would just hold you back” Pedrov said. “The last thing I want is to lose my best man all because he believes he has found love” Pedrov seemed unfazed by the gun to his head. Jeff pressed the barrel of the gun to his forehead “You are insane and that's what makes you my best. You know she won't last.”

Jeff's hand lingered on the trigger, he moved the gun and shot Pedrov on the thigh.

“Jeff” Klaus moved closer to stop him

“Touch me and the next bullet goes through Cod" Klaus stopped, everyone was trying to protect their lover tonight.

Tami had never seen Jeff angry all she had seen was the jovial, player part of him. The part of him that lit up a whole room with his smile. The fearless killer part was a chapter of his book she had heard about but never read and now as it played out before her, she wished she had never seen it.

“Put the gun down Jeff” Cod and Steve spoke simultaneously “Put it do... “

"Jeff" Tami's voice pierced through the atmosphere “Get in the car.”

Jeff ignored her as he continued to stare at Pedrov. “Get into the car” Tami shouted but in her eyes you could see the plea “We are leaving”

Everyone watched in awe as Jeff turned to Tami. The anger and look of death and vengeance disappeared from his eyes. Jeff let himself lower the gun and walked towards the car. He got into the car and the drive began. He took deep breaths.

“Jeff!” Tami began in an attempt to break the disturbing silence.

“I want to turn back and kill him” Jeff cut through as his hands held tightly unto the steering. “Tell me something to take my mind off it”

Tami ran through her mind for something to say or do "I like your suit. I should have complemented it earlier"

“Anything not relating to tonight damn it” He punched at the staring.

Tami sighed “je t'aime”

“What's that?” Jeff asked

“Ponder on that” Tami replied as she lay back resting her head on the chair. She had never been so scared in her life. She looked at Jeff who looked away from her gaze. He avoided meeting her eyes.

On getting to their hotel room Tami went to bath. She stood in the bathroom letting the hot water release her tension. She dried herself up and threw on a big brown t shirt. She walked to the room and saw Jeff in the living room of the suite he was sitting on the couch with his head bowed.

“Jeffery” Tami called as she went to him. She squat to his level and put her hand on his comforting him.

“I'm sorry T” He began “I did not know he had hired an assassin to kill you until Klaus told me he overheard his conversation”

“Its okay” Tami replied “I am fine aren't I?”

“I should not have left you with him” he sighed “You should have let me kill the idiot.” He shouted, then his voice became low but the legality of his words did not change “I would have made him beg and grovel till death would be his only escape.”

Tami backed away and sat in the opposite couch. The way the words kill and death came out his lips was like he had created those words.

“You enjoy it don’t you.” She bit her lip "That's why you don’t want to leave" taking a deep breath she continued “It’s not because they would kill you, judging by today's acts with Pedrov, you are not scared of anyone or anything. You love your job.”

Tami ran her hands through her hair. What had she gotten herself into? What scared her the most was that she was still madly in love with Jeff? It’s like the deeper she got, the more intoxicated she felt and all she wanted to do is drown in him.

Jeff looked up at her, he could see that his brave little pearl was scared now. However beneath that fear he could still see love. A love that he was sure she was beginning to loathe.

“I am scared of one thing.” He breathed that you would leave me, that you would decide that I am not suitable.” He chuckled, it came out as a scary rumble than an actual laugh. “I am scared that, you are with me because you are scared. I am scared that if you leave I might kill us both"

“You are a f*****g psychopath!” Tami's mouth stayed parted as she watched him “But I love you. f**k I love you so f*****g much. It hurts. I would hide a body for you. Jeff I would kill for you. I will jump into fire just because you are in it. I might as well be damned to hell for you.”

“You are the psycho” Jeff laughed as he looked at her, the shirt she wore swallowed her upper body but left her thighs bare. He wanted to run his runs on her beautiful brown skin. He knew she would do anything for him and he will kill for her. This life wasn’t what he wanted for her, it could get better or get worse but either way her life would always be in danger. “You can leave. I won't stop you”

Tami stood up from the chair discarding her clothes till she stood naked before him. Jeff sat up straight looking straight into her soft brown eyes. She climbed atop him so she was straddling him as she fumbled with his belt and briefs. She lowered herself on his finally free man hood throwing her head back as his length invaded her walls. She moaned as she began to move up and down slowly.

“f**k!” Jeff breathed grabbing unto her hips as she moved on him slow and steady. She was teasing him.

“Je t'aime” She moaned "Te amo, Is breá liom tú" She kissed his lips “I can say I love you in ten different languages and I will learn more just so I can't tell you I love you in many ways.”

“Tu es mon soleil (You are my sun)” Jeff stated in French. It was hard to talk while she rode him like that. “Mon étoile et la lumière à mes ténèbres et ma santé mentale. (My star and light to my darkness and my sanity)”

“You sly dog” Tami said “You speak French”

“Yes.” He smiled “Je t'aime encore plus(I love you too even more)”

He kissed her deeply as she continued to ride him. Their tongues caressed each other till she broke the kiss to moan out loud. Jeff took his lips to her neck and began to kiss and bite into her skin.

“I will protect you. I swear it”

“Make me c*m first” She replied looking into his eyes.

☆☆☆

Present:

Tami sighed as memories of the past filled her head Jeff was her everything. She loved him despite all he was but now that she knew she was pregnant, the baby had to come first. The door to the room flew open with a loud bang as it hit the wall with such a force. The little boy opened his eyes and held on to Tami in fear.

“Apparently your man is here to save you.” Nadia said with venom laced on each word. “Get up I am moving you both.”

“Alone?” Tammy asked

“Yes, don't get any ideas” Nadia said pulling out her gun and pointing it at Tammy “If not I will kill the kid.”

Tammy nodded as she stood up, she was still in pain from before, when the Nadia had beaten her to a pulp but she could do nothing because she was tied up. She wished Nadia would try again without tying her up.
