Read an Excerpt from Inescapable
“Jess. Jess, what’s wrong?”
I turned to Steph, not realizing the fervent whispers of, “Oh no, oh no, oh no,” were not in my head, or that Steph had been calling to me while I stewed in fear. She still didn’t know. How I envied her ignorance.
So used to seeing the face frozen in a shy but sexy smile, a face that had visited me every night for a week, it took me long seconds to place the intense glare in the article with the one from the nightclub and Steph’s altercation. Mr. Fantasy’s government name, Giorgio Oliveri, and face also belonged to Mr. Menacing. I blamed the lighting at the club. How else could I explain not recognizing the similarities between my nighttime visitors?
If the article wasn’t messed up enough, my traitorous body had lost its G-D mind. This heifer acted like we were still in my dream and the guest star wasn’t a freaking criminal. She tried to come at me with, “He was only implicated.” If any part of that article were true, Steph and I were in deep fudge berries.
I exploded off the couch, breath erratic, mumbling the random thoughts passing through my panic-riddled brain.
“Jessie, what’s wrong? Please calm yourself. You’re scaring me,” Stephanie beseeched, arms held out to calm me.
I faced her and took a deep breath to calm my nerves. What we did next would either save us or seal our short-lived fate. “Stephanie,” I spoke as though talking to a mental patient. Ironic, I knew, considering I had been the one talking to myself, walking around in circles.
“I need you to hear what I’m about to tell you and not question me. Okay?” After Stephanie nodded, I continued. “The guy from last week, the one you flipped out on… well, he’s in the news.”
“What? Did he die or something? You don’t think they’ll suspect me? I only broke his finger, but after what he did, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.”
“Stephanie, shut up for a second.” I demanded, sweat dotting my brow. “I need you to let me finish. No interruptions.”
I rubbed sweaty palms on my skirt. “Okay. That guy… He’s bad news. Like gangster-mafia-murderer bad news. They think he killed the governor’s son over an insult. An insult, Stephanie! What do you think he’ll do to you? You dislocated his finger and flipped him on his back in a club full of witnesses.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah, oh as in, ‘Oh fudge berries! What are we gonna do, right?’” My words hit Stephanie with rapid-fire truths.
“Do we have to do anything?” she questioned, ignoring the severity of our situation. Because downplaying my panic was her usual reaction. My eyes must have bugged out because she persisted. “I mean, we aren’t famous. How would he know who we are and where to find us? We should be fine.”
I understood then. Our survival was up to me.
