Morana's POV:

"I need you to do something for me" I said as I sprayed cologne around my collar. "What can I do" Sophia replied. "I need you to go down to the club with me tonight, i have a very important meeting with some very special guests" "oh and yes, wear your red dress" I added. "I'm not doing that" Sophia refused. "Oh I wasn't asking sweetie" I said as I picked up my gun from the dresser and put it in my coat pocket. "See you tonight" I winked as I left.

Sophia's POV: I slipped on the red dress which hugged my waist perfectly. I brought my hands back down as Morana helped me with the zipper. "All you had to do was ask" Morana said as she put her hands in her pockets. I looked at Morana through her reflection in the mirror. She was dressed in an all black suit. I held my hair with my hand while she clipped on the diamond necklace around my neck, without breaking eye contact. Intense tension was felt between us and a suspense of silence filled the room as we both admired each other. Morana leaned in towards me and her breath gently brushed against my cheeks. We were really close but I wanted to be closer. My lips began to reach for hers.



Morana stepped back and put on her black coat. "Uh, we should get going before we get late" Morana said with a slightly short smile.



Morana's POV:

I wanted to kiss her but I couldn't. I promised her that I wouldn't touch her. Besides, she wouldn't fall for someone like me. She looked so elegant yet sexy. Her long wavy brown hair smelled like strawberries and blossoms. The red dress fit her perfectly, exposing her prominent collar bone and chiselled face. I wanted to wrap my arms around her waist and kiss her rosy pink, plump lips but I knew it wasn't the time.

I grabbed my keys and drove us to the club. The drive was awkwardly quiet. "Was she upset with me" I asked myself.

Sophia's POV:

We walked up the stairs of the really loud and busy club, which led us to a VIP room. I sat next to Morana and the waiter brought us some drinks. I didn't really like the taste of alcohol so I just had a glass of coke while Morana downed her glass of whiskey, before three men along with an under dressed woman were allowed in by the bodyguard. They sat in front of us and Morana looked over at me. "Just do as I say and stay close to me" Morana ordered. I smiled at them as I moved closer to Morana.

Morana and the men were occupied with their conversation for a while. Throughout the whole conversation, one of the strange men kept giving me an uncomfortable stare. Morana noticed it so I was a bit at ease. "What about an exchange to settle the money" one of the men suggested. The woman walked over to Morana and began taking Morana's coat off and started kissing her neck. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A fire lit inside me and all I felt was rage. I shoved the woman aside and she fell to the ground. I got on Morana's lap and I kissed her lips, my body began rocking on hers. Morana broke the kiss and whispered in my ear to pull out the gun from her coat pocket that was laying next to her.

She took the gun from me and shot the man that was staring at me. I covered my ears and my body began shivering from the gun shot. We hastily made our way to the car and drove off. Silence filled the air. I didn't know what to say to her, I felt embarrassed that I just kissed Morana in front of all those people but I was also still scared. "A-are y-you angry with me, I'm sorry about what I did" I broke the silence. No reply. "Fine but answer me this, why did you kill him?" I asked.

Still no response. She just kept driving.

We got home and she was still silent. I didn't know if she was angry with me or if she even hated me at that point, I was overwhelmed with confusion and anxiousness. "Please say something" I said. Morana threw her jacket on the bed and closed the door. She walked over to me, staring at me like I was her prey. She pinned me to the wall. "You wanna know why I killed him?" she laughed. I nodded nervously. She leaned in and began kissing me. I held onto her collar, pulling her closer as she continued kissing me. She let go of me and brushed her hair back with her hand. "Because no one is allowed to look at what's mine" she replied. I blushed really hard at her response. "Now, answer my question" Morana ordered. "Why did you push her off me" Morana asked. I kept quiet and looked down at the floor. "WHY" she yelled. "Because I was jealous" I replied while walking away from her. She grabbed onto my hand. "Why were you jealous" Morana asked.

"Because I want you to be mine and only mine" I replied.

"What about the promise" Morana asked.

"It's not a promise anymore if I want to be in your arms" I replied.

"Did you make me promise you that because you were scared of me?" Morana asked.

"Yes, but I'm not scared anymore" I replied.
