Darkness by Marcella Smith (trending books to read txt) 📖

can I can listen around in town and probably get us pretty much anywhere. “You might not believe it but stuff like that is behind delis and supermarkets like in the movies.” Robert says.
“Really? I though that was just for movies.”
“Nope that’s how it pretty much goes down.”
“Cool.”
After that conversation I change needing a shower. I shower, shave, and washed my hair for about fifty minutes and then I get dressed. I change into a yellow tank top, sky blue shorts, yellow and blue accessories, and blue and yellow Nikes. I blow dry it and then comb leaving it its naturally wavy way going down my back. I head out of my room looking for Robert in the living room. He wasn’t there so I go to his room but I hear the shower and immediately leave. I walk back to the living room and stuff on the table catches my eye that I didn’t notice before.
I see nice smooth chunks of a lot of wood, a carving knife, and dirt. I immediately get down working knowing I won’t have time to do it tonight. When I’m done I stuff them all in the little safe and watch T.V waiting for Robert. When he gets out we walk down to the pool and just hang out. On my phone I set an alarm for six o’clock. We talk about Italy and old friends but when I said Darrell’s name his face immediately darkened. Might as well get it out of the way now.
“So why do you and Darrell wanna rip each other’s throats out?” I ask nonchalantly.
“Because the guy is a total jerk. I hate him. I fought him freshman year. He got knocked the hell out too. But you know the guy with the most money always wins.”
“Really? I always thought he was the sweetest guy ever. He was so considerate. We were gonna go out but I got abducted before we got together.
“Yeah that’s one good thing out of everything. As soon as you were his he was gonna get in your pants. If you didn’t want it he would have raped you. I was planning what to do but then they picked us.”
“How do you know all of this?”
“I over heard in the library. Him and his gang all liked you and I heard them take the bet. He said after he had you he would give you to his buddies to share.”
“Wow. Now I know why all the girls are afraid of him.” I shiver and drop the subject.
Annette and Douglas arrive and Annette and I do our little element thing. When we are done I mess with my fire flicking it on and off. We just hang out and watch T.V til about six. I go in and shower one more time before we go to Cameo. I shower for about fifteen minutes and get dressed. I wear black skinny jeans, a black and gold t-shirt, black and gold accessories, and black and gold Nikes. At a fancy sunglasses store in the Bahamas I found some black Aviator sunglasses (which are my favorite sunglasses ever). I grab one of the black and gold purse I have and head out.
In the living room Annette straightened her red hair, was wearing a purple mini dress(which was really tight), and purple and gold high heels. Robert was wearing black skinny jeans(for guys but not too tight for a guy), black Nikes, and a black t-shirt. Douglas was wearing jeans, blue Nikes, a dark blue t-shirt, and…Aviator sunglasses.
“Come on!” I complain when I see his glasses.
“Why do you always jock my style!” Douglas complains.
“No I don’t! You know I always like Aviators.”
“Take ‘em off.” Douglas says.
“No you take them off!” I say quickly.
“Amazing two of the most mature people but they fight over stuff like littlie kids.” Robert mutters.
“She’s the little kid.” Douglas says.
“No you are.” I say but I smile over at him.
After that we all head out to Cameo in a cab. We walk to the list guy and told him we have a V.I.P spot and he lets us in. I listened to the people in the line complain about how we get to go in. We drop all of our stuff in the V.I.P section and have like five drinks before we go to the dance floor we dance, drink, and laugh. We live Cameo at about three o’clock and head to our hotel.
When we arrive at the hotel Robert carried me because I was so out of it. I walk to my room bumping into every wall. I get to my room and drop my purse in the doorway and stumble to my bed. My I fall asleep before my head touches the pillow. The rest of the stay was pretty much like that in Miami. The last two days were more serious. We get plane tickets to Italy and call the guy making sure he did everything we told him to do. The last day was sad. We came back from the beach but still felt like swimming so we swam in the luxurious pool for the last time and headed upstairs.
I got out the shower and my outfit was denim skinny jeans, a short sleeved black shirt, and a red and black plaid shirt. I was taking out the stakes and when I smelt and all too sweet smell behind me. I grab a stake and whirl around to face…Terrence.


Chapter Three


“Where the hell did you come from?” I demand.
“Its not hard to find the party girl of Miami Beach just ask around. Oh the house you picked in Italy is beautiful and its in a nice quiet place."
My grip tightens on the stake behind me and I quietly set it on fire. The fire goes to my hand but it doesn’t hurt it makes me feel safe.
“Burn it much longer and it will turn to ash and trust me the stake won’t even graze me before I get to your throat. So stop.” Terrence says.
I hold out a little more and then sigh like I’m giving up. I throw the stake and at the same time I hit the wall. His lips are at my throat I feel his breath.
“Two seconds new record.” He whispers against my throat.
Suddenly, I feel like electricity passed between me and him. We both jump and back up. I slide off the wall and make a run for the door. He catches my arm.
“Don’t try it.” Terrence whispered.
I run and I hear him sigh. I run into the living room but know signs of anybody. I then run and check their room but still no signs of them. I run to the front door.
“You can’t get away.” He says impatiently.
“That’s what you said last time.” I snap.
I run at my fastest speed to my room I grab to stakes and set them on fire.. I knew he was gonna appear at the door in a second so I throw stakes at the door but he flicks them away. I run across the room but he grabs me and slams me down on the bed while he is on top of me. I build up a scream but he covers my mouth. I seriously need to gain more strength.
“You can’t win okay,” he says taking his hand away from my mouth I try to bite it but he takes it away too fast, “Get it through your head.”
I start to scream again.
“Don’t make me use compulsion.” He threatens. I stop trying to scream.
“Try it and I’ll burn your head off.” I growl.
“But you need your hands and feet to do that and you can’t get to those right now can you?”
“I swear I’ll burn your head off and laugh.”
I try to head butt him but he holds my forehead down with his forehead.
“I told you don’t try it.”
At the word try our lips brushed past each other. Just that brush set me on fire. He put his lips back on mine and his hands went around my waist and my hands went around his broad shoulders. We macked and macked for about fifteen seconds but then I pull back remembering I like Robert. I push him off me and make a run for a stake. His hands are around my shoulders and he slams me into a wall again. His body pressed to mine.
“Let’s not go through this again.” He says gruffly.
I slump down and when he releases me I walk into the living room finally giving up and collapse on the couch. Getting straight to the point I ask him a question.
“Did you use compulsion for that kiss?” I ask quietly.
“No you just pushed yourself on me like a drunken hooker.”
“No way I wasn’t rubbing on my hips jerk.”
“Please I didn’t even touch you.”
“Whatever I’m sleeping.”
“Not hard for you to do.” He mutters.
Without looking I raise my hand and give him the finger. I wake up I think a couple hours later at around seven o’clock and see Terrence and Robert staring each other down.
“What's going on.” I ask.
“This creep was in here while you were sleeping.” Douglas answers glaring at Terrence. Douglas always defended me.
“Look guys he caught us and he knows about Italy it is too late to turn back now. He has to come with us.”
“Great.” Annette murmurs.
Today was a depressing day. I needed one more party day.
“I’m going out one last time anyone wanna come.”
“I’ll come.” Annette says.
The guys shake their heads talking about some ESPN special or something. I head into the bathroom and change. I shower and get dressed. I wear a sleeveless t-shirt that has Buttercup from the Power Puff Girls, denim skinny jeans, and leather knee high Converse, a metal type chain connected to my jeans, with black and green Aviator sunglasses. I make my hair shine and let it go down its natural wavy way.
I grab a crop black leather jacket and head out with a black purse. Of course I take the longest time. I walk out and sit next to Robert. I lay my head on Robert’s shoulder as I looked at Terrence. I still felt my his kiss on my lips. I needed to get rid of it. I GRAB Robert’s face and kiss him long and hard.
“I’ll be back in the morning and if I dance with any guy its because I’m drunk.”
“I trust you don’t worry.” Robert says gently.
He stands up to kiss me. Our long kiss turns into a short mack.
“Okay time to go,” Annette says pulling me away from Robert, “Later Douglas.”
She gives him a quick peck and then we leave. While I was showering Annette made reservations. I didn’t know or didn’t care how Terrence was getting there or getting in.
“Since when were you so attracted to Terrence.” Annette asks after a while.
“Not to long wait what?!” I ask startled.
“You heard me.”
“I don’t like that stalker he is totally interfering with my fun.”
“But you don’t mind. You would grind the night away with him.” Annette says.
“So what? Are you calling me a hoe? A slut?” I demand getting on the defensive side.
“No not at all,” Annette says quickly, “I just know what goes on with you. I don’t know why but I do.”
“I hate this guy every opportunity I get to kill him I don’t stand a chance.”
We get to Cameo and walk in. People see us and call our
