RÊD FLÂGS
Red Flags - Episode 3 & 4
(Badasses•Bad•Jerks)
★★★★★★★★★
"You're sitting on my d∆ck" he muttered, and Emory's eyes widened a bit.
She became conscious of her sitting position, and she could swear she felt his boner on herself.
She quickly stood from him.
"Young girl!" Uncle Reginald scowled alarmingly.
"Calm down, uncle. He won't die" Conrad muttered.
"Next time, fox. Target my vein" Levi smirked devilishly at her.
She scoffed.
"Coming here was a mistake, you f+çking...
"Watch that mouth" Levi interrupted, sitting up on the ground.
The blood on his neck stained his shirt.
"I hope your pillow becomes wet every night, motherf+cker!" She spat ragingly.
"I get that a lot" he muttered with an unhinged calm.
Emory gave him the middle finger before storming out of the house, leaving the men in awe.
"What was that" Uncle Reginald said, moving close to Levi who's just standing.
"She's Emory Carson...the craziest girl in school" Hyce said.
"And?"
"Someone probably sent thugs to her like she said, but they obviously used Banks name" Conrad said.
"An enemy?" Uncle Reginald frowned.
"We know who it is... Bloody Chadwick. I'm breaking his f+çking skull" Levi replied and went upstairs.
"She ruined my dinner and broke numerous chinas" Uncle Reginald said.
"We can always replace the chinas, and you can cook another dinner" Conrad shrugged.
"No! I mean... maybe tomorrow, not tonight" Hyce quickly said, and the man's phone rang, interrupting them.
After a minute of speaking on phone, he picked his car keys from the couch.
"My wife is back, I have to go. Take care of Banks" he announced.
"Oh...sure!" Conrad nodded as Reginald left the house.
"F+ck! I wanna buy Emory a jet for ruining this poisonous dinner" Hyce said.
"Relax" Conrad patted him, and Hyce nodded.
"Chadwick is perfectly overstepping his boundaries" he said.
"He's getting it soon, Banks won't lay low after this, trust me" Conrad said with a crazy smile.
*
LEVI'S ROOM*
Levi is shirtless, and his madly ripped upper body is on display, his abs and pacs flexing as he cleaned up the neck and arm wounds in front of the mirror.
He remembered Emory's challenge earlier, and a cruel smile climbed his seductive lips.
To others, it's an attack, but to him, it's a challenge.
Catch me if you can, and he's all ready to do the chase.
To think he has been pretending not to see her since three years ago, and now she presented herself for sport.
Such a good little girl.
He finished cleaning the wound and slapped a small plaster on it to control the bleeding for now.
He's gonna get rid of it after it stops, he hates any barrier on his skin.
Unlike his friends, no single tattoo on his visible body, but he has a hidden one, known to only him.
He threw on a black shirt and got his phone.
Thankfully, he has Chadwick's line...He likes keeping his enemies around.
He sent him a quick text...
Levi: I saw your gift, get ready for mine.
He sat in bed after dropping his phone.
He tried to focus on something..anything at all in the dark room, but he failed, and his mind went to that miserable sentence again...
"YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN BORN, LEVI"
His eyes opened slowly, his brows rumpling as the guys came in.
They both fell beside him.
"Exit, I need to sleep" Levi said, stroking his own hair.
"When are we killing Chadwick?" Conrad asked.
"He's not in the to-kill list yet" Levi replied calmly.
"What do you f+çking mean? Dude sent his members to hurt Emory with your name! The girl you've been watching since the beginning?" Hyce frowned.
"You're not getting it, bro. He's not watching because of interest, he's watching because of duty" Conrad said.
"But...
Before Hyce could land, Levi pushed him off the bed with his feet, and Hyce landed on the ground.
"Suck my d∆ck, bastard!" Hyce thundered as he stood, leaving the room.
"What are you gonna do to her?" Conrad asked.
Levi closed his eyes, his long lashes hugging.
"Don't be scared, I won't kill her" he muttered.
"Scared? You're deranged" Conrad scoffed as he left the room.
*
VOID CLUBHOUSE*
"What the hell is taking her so long!" Rebekah complained for the thousandth time, moving from one feet to another.
She's been waiting for minutes in front of the club with the girls.
"Bî+ch isn't picking my calls" Nina added, almost smashing her phone.
"She has never been like this before though" Lizzy said worriedly.
"She could have at least called instead of making us worry" Nina said.
"Are you girls going in yet? I'm closing for the night" the huge bouncer at the small gate said.
"You know we can't go in without Emz, can you wait three more minutes?" Rebekah quickly said.
"I'm afraid I can't do that. It's 8pm already" he replied.
"Darn" Nina muttered.
"Girls!" Emory appeared behind them.
"Thank gawd!" Rebekah smiled, but the smile vanished when she saw her wounded face.
"Babe what's up with your face!"
"Emz, is everything ok?" Nina asked.
"Emory..." Lizzy narrowed her eyes at her.
"We'll talk inside" Emory brought out her phone
At the same time, they pushed their phone screens forward, showing their online tickets
"Go on girls" the bouncer smiled, opening the gate.
"We're regulars here, you should start allowing us in without tickets" Nina said.
"Soon" he replied, stucking hands with Emory.
The four entered the main clubhouse, and immediately they raised the curtain and stepped in, they screamed out before rushing to the serving table.
This place is an exclusive illegal clubhouse where drugs like coc@ine and c@nnabis are exchanged for money.
Emory got a glass of tequila for herself and gulped it, then she grabbed the slice of lime on top of it and placed it on her tongue, shutting her eyes and allowing the taste to hit as she sucked the sourness.
"Hmm...mmm" she moaned, grabbing another cup.
Rebekah quickly took it from her.
"You can't get drunk without telling us what happened" she said.
"Fine, Banks sent thugs to me, and they ruined my car" she said.
"What! Same Banks?" Nina gasped, swirling her drink in her cup.
"Of course!" Emory snapped.
"I can't believe it, were they wearing masks? What's the colour of their masks?" Rebekah asked.
"Black and white?" Emory replied.
"I knew it! Only The Titans use black and white masks and Chadwick is the leader, you should have known!" Nina shouted.
"Are you saying Chadwick attacked me with Banks name?" Emory scoffed.
"Obviously, Banks doesn't belong in any frat club so there's no way he'd send thugs" Lizzy said.
There are two frat clubs in the campus actually...
The Titans who are bossed by Chadwick, then The Vikings.
No one knows who The Vikings leader is, and they always carry out their operations low-key, so they've been concluded to be weaker.
"Banks it too gentle to do such, he's not violent" Nina said.
"You're defending him real good" Lizzy smiled.
"He's my future husband" Nina winked, and Lizzy laughed.
"Whatever" Emory grabbed her second cup and gulped it.
"Let's hit the dance floor!" Rebekah shouted over the music, and the four crossed over.
Nina started her crazy twerk on Lizzy, and Lizzy acted like the guy by rocking on her.
Emory is doing the same for Rebekah...
"Damn! This @s$!" Rebekah spanked her, and Emory chuckled, downing the third cup.
"I'll get us another" Rebekah said and left the floor.
Emory resumed dancing alone, but then the smell of a male cologne hit her when a guy began dancing behind her.
He touched her hips, and she quickly turned with wide eyes, feeling like throwing up.
"Did you just touch me? F+cker! How dare you!" She spat at his face, punching him in the nose.
The guy staggered, and Emory rushed out of the floor.
Her eyes were already turning as she tried to locate a restroom, and her stomach is upside down.
She held the walls till she found one, and she went on her knees in front of the toilet seat, throwing up all the alcohol she had.
Sweat shawled her face as she stood, staggering to the water dispenser.
A male's sudden touch on her skin triggers her, and that's why she avoids it like fire.
Uncle Fred's face appeared in her head, his sweet smile and his favorite words...
"You're so pretty, Emory" his voice haunted her like a ghost.
She held her head and mewled painfully, pouring water on her face, but it didn't work
She took off her heels and sat on the covered toilet seat, shaking as she buried her wet face in her shoulder.
"Emory!" Rebekah came in with the rest of the girls.
"I knew it" Nina said, and Lizzy quickly gathered her heels.
Rebekah pulled Emory's head to her tummy, hugging it there.
Emory hugged her back.
"You're fine, baby" Rebekah stroked her hair, and Nina sighed.
*
DIAZ MANSION*
North is currently in her room, sitting up in bed with a neck pillow around her neck as she scrolled through her phone, searching for Levi's social media account.
He has none...on Facebook or twitter or IG, he's not there, and it's frustrating.
How could someone that hot not show himself off?
It's a waste!
Or does he have a secret account only his friends know about?
"Levi again? You know Chadwick won't take it easy with you if he finds out you're crushing on him" Omar's voice said beside her, and she jumped.
"When did you even get here!"
Omar stood.
"When you were busy ogling him on your screen" he said.
"I don't give a damn...just because we're members of Chadwick's club doesn't mean he gets to control our tastes too" she replied with a straight face.
"Chadwick hates Banks, don't you get it?" Omar glared.
"No I don't, now get out of my room!" North pointed at the door.
Omar scratched his head sheepishly and nodded before walking out.
"Old for nothing" North muttered, returning to her phone.
*
NEXT DAY, CARSON'S MANSION*
Emory woke up to a great headache, and it seems to even get worse the moment she opened her eyes.
Thanks to her friends, she was able to get home last night, and she's sure she's the only one in this house right now cos according to calendar, her parents are currently on the plane for a business trip.
She stretched her hand to the drawer top and took a note she saw there.
~•~Your friends told me what happened last night, and I'm sorry about it. Yunno I'll never judge you, but can you please cut back on your alcohol intake? I don't wanna see you hurt again, I won't be able to bear it. I love you so much Em. We'll talk when i return from the trip tomorrow~•~
From your Ma.
A small smile appeared on Emory's face as she dropped it.
She got her phone and texted the girls that she'd be staying back today.
She can't go to campus with the condition of her head right now, and how is she gonna talk to Levi after what happened last night?
She's not the type to apologize, and it's not even her fault that Chadwick used his name.
And as for Chadwick, she'd meet him tomorrow, unfailingly.
She shut her eyes again, drifting into another sleep.
*
LEGACY COLLEGE*
As usual, Omar carried North's backpack as they stepped into the hallway together.
Omar behaves like a dumb junior while North took over the senior position despite the fact that she's younger.
"Walk faster!" She shouted at him, and he ran after her.
Her eyes brightened when she saw Levi coming out of the locker room with the guys, all dressed in the hockey team uniform.
The hockey game starts today, and they're on their way to the field.
"Banks!" North ran after him.
Levi gave her a "yes?" Look when she got to him, and she sucked on her bottom lip.
"I know you have a secret social media account, can you give me your handles? I promise to follow you, please" she begged.
"Step aside" Levi said with utter disgust, and she gulped at the coldness before moving out of the way.
He left with his friends, and she bit her lip so hard that she drew blood.
"See? I told you" Omar joined her.
"You shut up!" She snarled.
"What were you doing with Banks?" Chadwick appeared like darkness.
"She's the one who talked to him" Omar quickly stepped aside.
"Oh please" North scowled and made to leave, but Chadwick pulled her back and slammed her harshly against the wall, hurting her elbows
"Ah, f+ck! Chad!" She choked.
"So far you're in my club, you better follow the rules, no talking to Banks!" Chadwick seethed.
Omar smiled.
*
HOCKEY FIELD*
The cheerleaders were already cheering in unison when the boys arrived at the field, and girls began going mad over them again, Levi in particular.
They came to a sudden stop.
"What are you gonna do to Chadwick and Emory? She's not even in school today, i hate suspense!" Hyce almost shouted.
"Calm down, sucker" Conrad said through his teeth.
"I have plans tonight" Levi replied, smiling that cruel smile again before leaving them.
"That was...fast" Conrad went after him.
Hyce made to move too, but someone bumped into him from behind, and he turned to see Isaac, same department too.
"Hey, gee!" He smiled.
"Hey" Isaac returned it, and Rain joined them.
Rain is like the most quiet girl in campus too. How she became friends with Isaac is still a mystery.
Isaac left with Rain, and Hyce couldn't stop staring at Isaac till they went outta sight.
He smiled before joining his friends down the field.
*
7PM, CARSON'S MANSION*
Emory is used to being alone.
She could spend days apart from her friends and be fine, but it's different today, maybe because her parents aren't around.
She slept throughout, and when she woke up, she came downstairs and stuffed her face with apples.
She loves apples so much.
She ate several junks... chocolates, sweets, gums and all that, but it just got worse.
Her friends are stuck with a group assignment, so they're not gonna be coming to stay with her tonight.
She'd have to persevere till daybreak.
She brought her duvet to the living room and folded herself on the couch as she tried to watch a movie... Through My Window.
Immediately a s€x scene popped up, she turned off the TV and sighed, getting her phone to go online, but heck, nothing is popping.
"I might just die" she muttered, missing her girls so badly.
Her mind went to last night's scene at Levi's place, and her mouth felt bitter.
"Shit" she closed her eyes.
Her eyes stayed closed like that for minutes, and before she knew it, she already slept off.
She tucked herself deeper into the couch, and her phone fell to the ground in the process.
She fell into a deep sleep on the couch.
AN HOUR LATER*
Emory woke up to found herself on her bed upstairs!
Her eyes widened as she sat up in bed and checked the time on the bedstand watch.
It's half past 8!
How did she get here? Wasn't she supposed to be on the couch in the living room?
She immediately sensed danger, and the thick smell of cinnamon with a mix of pine hit her nose.
Someone else is in this room with her!
A bugler???
She scurried out of bed and got her protective taser from her drawer, then she rushed to the switch and turned on the lights.
Her eyes widened to her temples, and sweat broke in her cleavage and backline when she saw who's sitting beside her vanity table like a king
Levi Banks!
He's resting back on the chair, both arms on the armrests, and his head is tilted.
His outfit is totally black, defining him boldly
He looks like a newly crowned devil.
That sardonic smirk is intact on his face as he watched her pale out in fear.
She gets scared?
Good, maybe she's not the wonder woman he qualified her to be after all.
Emory tried to shoot him with the taser, but the thing won't work.
"What the...
"I don't think it works without batteries" his cold voice came, and she faced him to see him holding the taser batteries.
Fûck!
Just how long did he spend in here?
How did he even get in? How did he...
He stood tall, interrupting her thoughts.
"You have no right to trespass into my house anyhow just because of something that ain't even my fault. Don't fuçking come close!" She shifted to the wall, gluing herself there.
Being in the same room with just one guy is lethargic to her health, she might just pass out.
"You found out, is that why you didn't step the campus, fox?" He raised his brows slowly, coming close again.
"I said don't come close!!" She shouted.
"You barged into my house last night, i'm only paying back" he replied point-blank.
"What do you want?" She muttered, gulping as she felt herself choking.
Nah...this can't be happening.
"Why don't we play a bit? Hide and seek" he muttered darkly, getting a gun from his back pocket.
Emory's heart almost stopped...ok this guy is mad!
Is this a live action movie or something?
Why is she seeing a damn gun!
"It's your house, that's a bonus point for you. Run and hide anywhere, and I'd hunt you. If I get you, you do what I want, and if I don't, I leave" he replied firmly, gripping the gun.
She didn't even wait anymore before dashing out of the room, rushing downstairs.
Hell, why would her parents be on a trip tonight of all nights?
And those saying Banks is the gentlest guy in campus should be killed, no one can tell her he's not in any club.
Dude has a gun!
She went for the main door and tried opening it for escape, but it's locked, and key is not in sight.
"Urgh!" She held her head.
Well played, Banks...well fuçking played.
She could hear his steady footsteps approaching on the rails, so she quickly dashed into her dad's study
She hid behind one of the shelves, calming her breaths and hoping not to get caught by this insane guy.
"Gawd, I promise not to smoke or drink anymore, save me"
