Gangs

Chapter seven

Atom sighs and I follow him to my brother an JT, they are waiting by the door. Atom gestures for me to get in a car, it’s a Lamborghini. I have wanted one of these cars forever. He gets in and backs out. As soon as we get on the road, he’s going over 300 miles. Damn do not kill us please. Brandon and Jt are lost in the dust. He laughs and takes my hand.

Hey hands on the wheel show off

I have been driving forever chill out

Oh ya, you got skills?

He laughs “wanna demonstration?” He raps his arm around me and pulls me onto his lap so i'm Stradling.

We die I blame you

Trust me

He leans in and our lips meet, his hand raps around my waist pulling me into him. I smile, we are a bad combination. I wrap my arms around him moving closer if thats even possible. His hand slides under my shirt up to my bra and then he pulls away.

What?

I do not wanna go too far with you

What is wrong with me?

Are you ready for that?

I do not know

Exactly, i'm not going to push you into something you are not ready for

Thanks

I am not a d**k

Are you positive?

Most of time

I was kidding

I laugh and kiss him; he kisses me back while he is still driving.

Get back in your seat

Okay?

We are slowing down, and your brother is catching up

Oh, you have not told him

He is my partner, and we are not exactly on good terms

What for

He is mad cause he cannot figure out why I have not killed you, cannot please that man

Nope, never could

Does it run in the family?

I do not know; you will have to find out

Fantastic

Wow

Ill love you either way no worried

You love me?

Nah, I was just joking

Figure

I do

Really

Ssssh keep it down and get off my lap

Or what

He starts tickling my side, I laugh and slap him. He holds my hands against the steering wheel and keeps tickling me. I slide off his lap and he jerk the wheel, I scream, and he laughs.

You really do not trust me do you

I do, I promise 

Good

            Brandon pulls up next to us parking, Atom follows then we get out.

You too can just goof off I guess long as you say close

Alright

            Atom starts walking and I follow him around a corner, and he takes my hand. I smile and lean my head on his shoulder. People shy away when we pass, they know we are from the gangs.  My family lives here, I hope they do not see me. happy with the gangs? Killed people? Music? I have not been over here in too long. I grab Atoms hand and pull him into the dance room.

Lina!

            Jarrah and Kennedy run up and hung me knocking me to the floor. Miles, Tyler, and Dylan come over and pull us up laughing

My God Lina you are alive

Yawls have so little faith in me

Let us go Lina now

Do we have too?

You cannot tell anyone that we are here, do you understand

I love you

Ya better

Chad here?

Hey L’z

            He raps me in his arms, slower and softer but more meaning full. I wanna cry, I have not seen them in so long.

Let us dance?

Atom?

Go for it

            Tyler flips on the music and Chad spins me around to him. We used to compete, our crew, it was my favorite thing.

I am gonna be so off, I have not danced in a year

Keep up

No Chad

            He throws me up in the air, I flip and land in his arms. He spins me out and we go into an advanced version of tango. I had to learn to trust him and now I still do. Its effortless, everything comes back, and I feel free again.

Come with us

I cannot

Both of you

Atom nods and Jarrah grabs my hand, we race to the dance hall. Country music playing loud, we hear it from a block away. When we walk in people smile at me, Chad and I owned this place. I pull Atom onto the dance floor.

can you swing dance?

Ya

He swings me around and we start swing dancing, he is good damn. He picks me up and flips me, soon we are the center of attention.

Lina?

Uncle?

Is he forcing you?

No, he is not

Why are you here

Damon wants to test her

Ah, Lina I want you to come home

I cannot

I am not asking

Atom pulls me back protectively and there’s shock in my Uncles eyes

Damon’s son?

Yes sir

Lets go Atom
