Red Velvet Rope

11:23 PM

Michael stepped out of the limo with Jasmine following behind her. He went up to his driver with money," Here you go. Thank you." he smiled at him and went into the house with Jasmine. Hastily, they moved up stairs to Michael's room. They didn't even think of turning on the lights. The moonlight shined through the white silk like curtains on them. It was at a good point in the sky. Michael closed the door behind him and took off his shirt. Jasmine was sitting on his bed watching.

She stared at his stomach....

There... she thought. He came up to her and started kissing on her neck, undoing the back of her dress with one hand, holding her shoulder with another hand. When she was just in her undergarments, Michael slowly pushed her down on the bed where her back touch the sheets completely. He went to kiss her.

At Tito's house

The girls were in the guest room, talking about random things and laughing. Then Nicole suddenly stopped talking. " Guys?" she said. Shauna stopped giggling and looked at her friend," Yeah?" Nicole looked them each in the eye.

" I think Michael's in trouble..." she faintly said. Hearing that made Sasha's stomach turn, she asked her alarmed," What? I'm not understanding." Nicole looked down and back up again.

" Well... When I went to the restroom earlier before we had to come here, I guess Jasmine had accidentally left her phone there. She had got a message and..." she trailed off. Sasha waited for her to continue," and...what?" Nicole cleared her throat," it had said.. Kill Michael tonight along side with the girls... something like that. I don't know." Shauna stared at her for a minute with a serious look.

" Are you sure it wasn't just someone messing with her about something?" she asked. Nicole told her," Who would mess with someone like that? Come on now, it's obvious someone wants us dead. Including Michael, why? I really wish I knew."

Sasha butt in," You think he knew about this?" Nicole answered," I don't know that either. But, the way Jasmine's been treating us, something ain't right..." she trailed off again. The girls sat in the room, thinking for a minute. Shauna sprung up from the bed and said," We need to go get Michael." They looked at each other. How could they go help their friend when they are miles apart.

Michael was hovering over Jasmine, kissing on her, and holding the woman tighter. Then he stopped, he had to look at his lover in the eyes. He smiled at her and she smiled back. Jasmine told him," Wait a minute, I have an idea to make this a bit more exciting..." Michael smirked at her and moved away. She got up and grabbed something out of her purse, handcuffs with red puffy fur around them. Michael rose both of his eye brows.

" Sit up." she commanded him. He obeyed right away. She moved behind him and pulled his arms back and handcuffed them. Jasmine pushed him back on the bed, she reached for a blind fold and wrapped it around his eyes. Finally she sat on top of him, leaned over and started kissing him.

_____________________________

The girls ran to Tito's bedroom door and started knocking on it.

" Tito! We want to go back to Michael's! Please!" they shouted out. No answer, so Shauna busted into the room. Tito was laying in bed asleep, he didn't hear a word they were yelling at him. Sasha barged into the room, looking around. Nicole said in a shouting whisper," Sasha come on, he's not awake!" Sasha ignored her friend and kept looking around and went to his mirror dresser, feeling around. She had found his keys and left the room, Shauna closed the door gently.

" I got his keys." she told them. Nicole frowned," Yeah but we can't drive." Shauna thought a minute and then reached into her back pocket, grabbing out her learners permit.

Nicole asked her," Do you carry that thing everywhere? Forget it, I'm glad you have one." They all ran for the back door, then Nicole stopped before they got there. She told them," Tito's famous right? He has to have a gun somewhere to protect himself." She began searching everywhere for one, with the help of the others.

They finally had found one in the kitchen drawer, ran out the door, got into the truck and drove off.

__________________________

Michael whispered out," I love you." Jasmine froze a minute and sat up on him, telling him," I'm afraid I can not say that back to you..." Tears began to sting her eyes as she reached down into her purse again, grabbing a big knife. Michael was still blind folded, unaware of what was happening, he thought she was playing with him and said," Aw why not?" She rose back up again, and just when she was about to speak, Michael's iPhone started vibrating on the nightstand, she stared at it.

___________________________

Nicole asked Sasha," Is he answering??" Sasha hung up," No, he isn't and I'm getting worried." Nicole looked out the window and told her," Try calling again." she dialed his number once more.

Shauna slowed down a little. Nicole grew irritated," Why are you slowing down?" Shauna looked around at the 3 way road," I forgot which way to go!" Nicole looked out in front of her," Darn it!" Shauna just went left.

_____________________________

Jasmine waited for the phone stop buzzing. Michael asked her," Who was that?" Jasmine looked down at him and said," Oh, no one. It wouldn't matter anymore, anyway." Michael was confused at that statement, he asked," What do you mean?" Tears fell down each cheek on Jasmine's face. She responded," That doesn't matter anymore either." Michael frowned," Girl, you're not making any sense."

Jasmine rose the knife with her right hand and moved down to his lower abdomen, making him smile, biting his lip. With her left hand, she moved his blind fold up, and told him," I don't have to make any sense, not anymore!" His eyes widened," Jasmine!" But it was too late, she had already stabbed him in his stomach, causing him to cough up blood. She took out the knife and stared into his eyes. Never in her life did she see so much pain in one's eyes in her life. When she saw the tears build up in his eyes she clenched the knife and stabbed him again harder in the stomach, his mouth opened but no sound came out, she closed her eyes and more tears came down. He cried out silently,"...why?"

She ignored his cry and got up, put her dress back on, grabbed her purse and left out the door. Not even going to take the hand cuffs off of him. Michael coughed again and more blood came up, his wounds were becoming an unbearable pain for him. His phone began to buzz again, slowly he turned his head towards the night stand.

Jasmine casually walked down the stairs, and saw a car pull up. She whipped the tears from her face, still having Michael's blood on her hands, she accidentally put it on her face as well. She then heard the familiar voices outside, it was the girls... They had come back... " They're smart.... but," she continued to herself," they're pretty stupid at the same time." She went to the kitchen and grabbed Michael's gun from the drawer, and waited...

.....

Nicole, Shauna, and Sasha opened the door and ran in, yelling for Michael.

________________________

Michael was still laying in that painful bed, now filled with horrible memories. He was crying to himself, how could she do this to him, he thought she loved him too. Then he thought, it was those people he were working with, wasn't it? But which ones? The good, or the bad? This made him furious. Trying to move, sharp waves of pain went down to his stomach area. He was losing too much blood, making him lightheaded. Suddenly, there was a gun shot from down stairs, and familiar screams.

" Girls..." he faintly whispered. The taste of his blood sickened him.

_________________________

Jasmine had shot the gun at them, but luckily she missed, but only by a little. Nicole shot Tito's gun at her and ran behind the couch. Sasha and Shauna ran with her. Jasmine walked up to them carefully, Shauna looked up a bit and Jasmine shot a bullet again, she quickly ducked. " She's coming!" she squealed. Nicole told Shauna," Sasha and I will distract her, go run up to Michael's room and check on him." Sasha looked at Nicole like she lost her mind or something. Nicole grabbed Sasha's shoulder," For Michael...?" Sasha closed her eyes and then nodded.

Jasmine was standing on the other end of the couch, far from Shauna, so she got up and ran for the stair, and as soon as Jasmine saw that, she pointed the gun at her, but Nicole tackled her when she shot up, making the bullet go up to the ceiling. Shauna stopped for a minute and looked back, then headed up the stairs again.

Sasha got up, and grabbed the closest porcelain lamp she could find, and hit Jasmine on top of the head with it, breaking it, making her scream. She grabbed Sasha's legs and pulled her down to the ground.

.....

Shauna ran into Michael's room and the smell of blood filled her nose, she saw her friend laying helplessly on the bed shirtless. She was going to cry but she knew she had to be strong. Shauna walked up to Michael slowly, he was staring right at her. She looked into his eyes and saw them losing light. Even though he was in so much agony, he managed a smile at her, she smiled back at him. That smile on his face then faded away, and he didn't move.

" Michael!?" she quickly touch his chest, looking for a heart beat. There was one, but it was really faint. She paced herself over to his night stand and grabbed his phone and speed dialed 911. " Just hang in there, Michael. Please stay with us." she saw that he was handcuffed and undid them, and held his hand.

.....

Jasmine managed to get up from Nicole and Sasha's grasp. She headed for the door, for she thought this was enough for her. Just then, Nicole shot the gun at her, hitting her shoulder. Jasmine yelped out, held her shoulder, and turned around. She lifted the gun up at Nicole and said," You little..." Nicole tried to shoot again but there were no more bullets in the gun and it worried her.

Then police and ambulance sirens were sounding outside the house. Jasmine looked out the window, and just ran out the back door. The police and a stretcher came in and they ran up stairs.
