Chapter 42 Not ready to mingle
“Harden, Seriously,” Radon yelled. He rolls his eyes and looks at Maya who’s still avoiding Radon’s eyes.
“I can’t take her.”
“Radon listen to me. She’s what you need. Tender face and good moves. Don’t underestimate her, she’s fuckin great.”
“She’s fuckin shy and too nervous.” Radon exhales the smoke as Harden sighs tiredly.
“I’m not shy. I’m just being careful around you. I heard a lot of stories about you and it’s a pleasure to be standing with the popular Colorado Carter.” She smirks and raises her head to meet his eyes.
He doesn’t like her.
She’s pretty and all that but she can’t be like Elsa.
Dude! she asked you to leave her the hell alone.”
“Where are you from?”
“San Angelo. But I stay in San Francisco.”
“Have you worked before ?”
“Yeah. I worked as a bartender in a strip club. I’m not a whore sir.”
“It’s Radon, no sir. Harden, take her out. Set her first date.” She nodded and follow Harden out.
Nothing makes sense when all he could think of was her words. Tells him she doesn’t want him. And now he feels like shooting someone.
Radon dutt the cigar on an ashtray and shove his hands in his pocket.
“What’s she doing to me ?”
“Boss we’ve got an emergency at the warehouse. It’s Beta”Eugene said behind Radon
“Said shit again?” He asked not sparing him a look.
“Yes.”
He sighed and nod.
“Go, I’m coming.”
“For once favor granted. I’m shooting someone today.” Radon smirked.
…..
.
” Peter, I’m not trying to hurt you. I just want you to tell me why are you stealing from summit ? Why are you snitching about my business ?” Radon asked him.
He’s shivering and pleading.
“Peter sit your dumb ass down.”
“Boss I can explain. It wasn’t intentional. My wife…”
“That’s why men die easily. They don’t listen.” Radon walked to Eugene and stop in front of him.
“Can I lend your gun ?” He asked Eugene.
“Sir please…” Peter plead as Radon pulled the trigger at his foot.
He fall to the ground and grip to his bleeding foot.
“Will you sit or not ?”
“Ye.. yes sir. Please don’t shoot me.” He plea and try to stand up with his bleeding feet.
” If you don’t sit , I’m taking out your other foot.” Radon tell him as he watched him crawl on the floor to sit on a chair.
“Shit , you’re so slow.” He mutters.
“Boss please. I’m already sitti…”
Radon groan and shot his other foot after struggling to sit on the chair.
“We should talk Peter. Summit’s been standing for over five years now without dick faces like you. I worked hard for every shit i own. What was your motive ?” Radon asked him. Beta hands Radon a cigarette and a lighter as he light it up afterwards giving him back the lighter.
He squat face to face with Peter. He whimpers and look sideways.
“Look at me Peter. Be a good boy and look at me ..” I order.
He whimpers and sob like a kitten. He slowly turn his neck and stare at Radon’s face. Radon Puff out the smoke and bite the bottom of his lip.
“Why did you sell me out to that fuck face Malcolm?. You let him took my shit too.”
“It wasn’t on purpose. I was forced.”
“Fuck Peter , you’re lying again.” Radon said calmly and stand up. ” And i fucking hate it. Eugene can I lend your gun again ?”
” I’m willing to talk. He asked me about your underground Warehouse and how to find it. I told him nothing. And he offered to pay me one million grand. I told him the few things I know about you and summit. My wife made me say it.”
Radon chuckled and smirk.
“Wow Peter. One million Grand.”
“Please don’t kill me sir. I’m truly sorry.”
“Sure. I won’t kill you. You deserved a second chance..” Radon smirked and let Eugene hand him his gun.
“Bos…” Radon hang him out and shot his head. He hated hypocrites. The fuck! He paid his family’s bills. The underground warehouse was something nobody knows including his fuckin friend Harden. It contains every of summit’s fortunate. Things like that happens when the bank can’t contain every of one’s shit.
“Radon, it’s okay he’s dead.” Radon didn’t even notice he’ve shot him more than once. He was being paranoid and also Elsa was part of the reasons too.
“Why is she fucking with my head ?” Tss!
“Clear this shit up , Beta.” Harden said to Beta as he walk Radon outside the warehouse.
” You need a pussy?” He ask once they’re outside.
“A good one.” Radon replied and step inside his car.
It’s been five days since Elsa last saw Radon.. Five days since she told him to leave her life alone. Five days since she called him bad luck. Elsa toss her textbook aside and close her computer. She can do it. She’s going to concentrate and don’t get consumed with Radon’s dark fantasy.
It’s almost evening and it’s Friday. As usual, the frat house will be throwing a party and Elsa’d love to take advantage of it. Plus , she need to assume she’d never shared a mind blowing proper kiss with a man called Colorado Carter. Elsa walked to the kitchen to make toast. Mariana walks in with Sean as they round the counter. Sean is dressed with black rip Jean shorts and white hoodie. While Mariana wears a high waist jeans and pink crop top with straps that’s tied around the neck like a bikini top.
“Hi Elsa..” Sean greeted as she sits on the island stool.
“Hi. Hungover ?”
“Do I look hungover. I’m just fuckin tired.” She giggles. Who parties at five ?
“Absolutely not.” I smile and nod.
“My Mom asked about you Elsa” Marina said as she open the fridge to get whatever.
“Good.”
“Good ? You suck..” Mariana scoffs and sits next to Sean.
“You’re going to frat tonight right ? I mean I’ve been seeing you with Liam lately. He’s a good kid. Just be aware he just wants to use your ugly ass.” Mariana snorts and Elsa chuckle.
“Yeah. Same way Martinez used your cheap ass. You can’t afford this , I’m better than you…” Elsa mimics her.” Yet you can’t even keep a good man. Just jumping from one bed to another looking for guys who are loaded. Seriously Maria , you’re fuckin stupid.”
” What the fuck..” Sean mutters
Mariana raised her hand to slap Elsa. Elsa grabbed her hand and twist it before slamming her hand on the counter.
“Asshole.” She scoffed and turn to walk out.
” A little advise. If you don’t mind your business, I’m going to cut your fingers next time and send it to YOUR mom and also dad. Punk face.” Elsa head to her room and shut the door.
She can’t be suffering from Radon illness and also her sister’s too. she slump on her bed and throw a pill inside her mouth as she swallowed it dried. Thanks to Radon, she was finally getting over depression and no more therapy. She feel sexually frustrated and it’s unusual. Each time she closes her eyes, it’s all Radon, Kissing her at the club. Elsa on his counter wearing his dress shirt. Elsa on his shoulders on their first date. He’s just everywhere. Everywhere in her head.
Her phone pings and it’s a text message from Alice.
SMS ALICE: Want to party today ? Let’s visit tavern’s.
Elsa rolled her eyes and sigh. She needs a good sleep and also tomorrow is Saturday. She don’t have class. Liam wants her to go to a frat party with him. Elsa feel so stuck with her confused emotions. And Freddie , he said he’s sorry and she’s regretted his actions. But stealing her innocence was the lastthing to think of because he wanted her to be with him. Elsa remembered when they were in high schooll, She was also desperate too to make Freddie look at her like the way he looked at other girls.
But she will never hurt him.
Most times she’d sneak out of her room for sleepovers at his house and come back home early. She guess she was so stupid and can’t even imagine she was acting so naive. And then he’s back again asking her to take him back. Elsa sighed as her phone buzzed again.
SMS ALICE Elsa already talked to the guys about it and they are in. We’re going to tavern’s, get dressed,, and kisses.
What a childhood friend. Elsa opened her closet to put on something simple. She quickly showers and put ack jeans a White hoodie,, and nk sneakers. She brushed her hair and tie it up in the middle of her head. Elsa picked up her phone and rush out of her room making sure she locked it. For some unknown reason, She was wearing Radon’s silver bracelet and his bangle. , She hops inside Lucas’s car as he drives them to taverns.

” Hey Alice, did you break up with White?” Olivia asked drowning in a glass of whiskey.
” I got tired. I just want to be single and normal. Don’t date a boy because everything is always stupid ” She slurs and gulps her shots.
” So basically you’re single ?” Lucas chuckles.
“Yeah. And ready not to ever mingle ” She chuckles and raises her glass upwards. They click our glasses and throw their heads back to take in the drink.
