"Jose stop please" stumbling to my hands and knees.
My stepfather had thought me how to read guys pretty well which was how I know Nickolai was trouble and my predictions wasn't wrong.
"Emily" Jose rush to my aid helping me up."Are you okay love"
"Nickolai shot me"
"What! He did what! Where is he?"
"Calm down Jose it is just a flesh wound" his body languishing with anger but what can he do against a man like Nickolai who carried around a licensed lethal weapon.
"But he has no right. I am going to call the police"
"Jose no okay I am fine just need help up the stairs please"
"Emily he went to far and I won't let him get away with this. I have a close friend in the police department Sgt Riggs, we could have him taken into custody before dawn" helping me up the stairs one step at a time.
"Jose just don't leave it alone I don't want him behind bars"
"Why"
"Why what?" as we climbed another almost to the top.
"Why you don't want the bastard arrested? Are you in love with him Emily?"
"Maybe" pulling away as we reached the top.
"Are you serious?"
"Maybe"
"So the wedding is still on" following me to my bedroom door and inside.
