Last night I realized I didn't know much about Tanya. "Hey Tanya you never told me your birthday". "Oh it's October 31'st". "Your birthday is on all hallows eve"? "Yup it's actually kind of nice besides the fact that people think I'm cursed".
"Oh... and what's your descent"? She didn't say anything. She turned me and in my chair and put her foot on it so it wouldn't roll away. "Why do you want to know about me"? "I'm Roman and Mexican".
She pushed my chair and left the room. Did she not want me to know about her. And if not why? I spent the day a bit suspicious of her. "Do you want to meet my mom", I asked her.
"Your mom"? "Yes I think she might actually like you". "I'm covered in tattoos and look like a drug dealing, thuggish, stripper". "But you believe she might like me"? I laughed at what she said.
"On Saturday I'll scheduele a dinner with her". "But how about today I take you out for drinks"? "That sounds nice". I took Tanya to a club uptown and we spent the night dancing and drinking. I was trying not to get very drunk so I could drive us home.
"Hey you see that guy, I hear he's famous and rich". "You should totally go get him", girls were whispering. Suddenly I felt Tanya grab my chin and kiss me. "Seems like you heard them", I said. "Had to let them know that you were mine".
I grabbed her waist and started to kiss her more. "How about we go home", I asked. "Sure", she said grabbing my hand. "Are you drunk", I asked. "No just a bit tipsy", she said getting in the passenger seat.
I pulled into the parking garage of our apartment. When we got inside she went and took a shower. When she came back into the room she was wearing read lingerie. I went and took a shower and came out wearing nothing but a pair of grey sweats.
None of that mattered because as soon as I got in the bed our clothes were off. She was asleep so I got up and went to my desk. I looked up Tanya to learn more about her. There were about 3 mugshots of her. Attempted murder, arson, and theft.
How was she not in jail? I started to search more about the cases. She set a house on fire, tried to kill a man, and stole a diamond. Yet someone spent thousands bailing her out. "Are you watching something bad", Tanya asked.
"No just looking at some articles about me". "Can you go get me some water"? "Sure", I said leaving. While pouring the water I realized I forgot to exit out of the tabs. When I got into the room Tanya jumped from behind the door causing me to drop the glass.
All she had on were her lingerie, a fur coat, and heels. The glass was broken and I stepped on it cutting my feet. She smacked me with her gun and everything went black. I felt like it was all a dream but it wasn't.
(Tanya POV)
In'ko was searching stuff about me and I couldn't let him figure out about my past. I put on my heels and coat and stood behind the door. I was going to shoot him but I didn't have the guts to. I smacked him with the gun and he was knocked out.
I ran and got into the car. I know where I was driving. I drove to the docks and stopped the car. I held the gun to my head but eventually threw it in the back seat. "Fuck"! I felt something wet running down my cheeks. I looked in the mirror. There were tears. I loved In'ko and what I had done was worse than evil. But he would have left me if he figured out the truth.
But we had killed for eachother many times before. What made this any different. I awoke to the sound of knocking on the window. I looked to see In'ko. He showed me his phone that had tracked his car.
I let the window down. My mascara was dried onto my face and I looked rough. "I'm so sorry", I said staring him in the eye. I grabbed my gun from the backseat. "Are you going to hurt me"?
He shook his head. I threw the door open and hugged him. I squeezed him hard. "What's going on Tanya talk to me". "Can we please go home first"?
(In'ko's POV)
I had used my phone to track Tanya and found her out the docks. We went home and sat on the couch. "What I have told you is true", she said. "I'm Roman and mexican". "I was born October thirty-first 1998".
"I was born in downtown Mexico and raised by thugs. My dad left my mother when I was about 6. I was stubborn and spoke nothing but spanish and my mother couldn't comminucate with me". "We grew apart". "I grew up stealing and shanking people to survive".
"When I was fourteen I started listening to my mother and by the time I was 15 I spoke spanish and romanian so my mom and I were on good terms". "But when I was 16 she sent me to be illegally immagrated to America". At 17 I was a prostitute and at 18 I was a stripper". "I sold my body and looks in order to live".
"At 19 I went and got my diploma and got scholarship to a low quality college". "Then at 23 I met you". I motioned for her to come to me. She got up and stood infront of me. "What are you gonna-".
I grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto my lap. "It's okay, I still love you". "You live me", she asked. I realized that was the first time I told her I loved her. "Yes I love you".
I love you too In'ko. I sat there for some mintues and let her cry on my shoulder. But then I realized something. "Tanya, if you had no one... who bailed you out of jail those three times". She slowly wiped her tears, got up, and grabbed her gun.
"I was raised by a mexical drug and firearms cartell". "I was born a criminal and killer, but if you tell anyone you'll die". "Which cartell's was it"? "The Sinaloa and and Los Zetas". "They are highly dangerous".
She was raised by two of the biggest cartells in Mexico. Scary. Still though I loved her.
