22. Nearly Drowning.

[Ace]

My jaw dropped to the floor as soon as Emily walked through the front door, I'd just finished bending Olivia over and I was fuming because I couldn't finish with her and the pent up release was killing me.

Normally I had a rule not to fuck a bitch more than once but I'd fucked Olivia twice by mistake since I couldn't recognize her then so now the rule seemed pointless.

She'd orgasmed twice and was about to cum the third time before I pulled out of her in annoyance, my mind wasn't just in it and it was frustrating me.

I was changing and that change was frustrating me, I no longer enjoyed the things that I used to.

I now craved for something that I couldn't have, something that would be right if I had.

Emily looked effortlessly beautiful and I think that was what fucked with my head so much, she was wearing a fucking sexy black dress, I frowned and the ugly green monster reared it's head when I saw that fucking douche talking with Emily.

"Man, where have you been, we're about to play poker." Fin tapped me and I turned to him, scowling angrily.

"Poker?"

"Yeah, the sexy kind." He said and tapped me on the shoulder. "See why I always talk about attending the juniors party, there's always a flow of cash and girls." He chuckled loudly.

"Drugs?" I asked, I looked back and saw Emily walking away with that guy, the jealousy hit me hard and I clenched my fist tightly, I just needed something to make it all go away even for a little while.

"Drugs, Fin." I yelled at him as I snatched my eyes away from Emily's alluring back, I just wanted to feel her skin with my fingers.

"I've run out, Ace, I'm sorry."

"What the fuck do you mean?"

"Calm down, man, these junior, they're crazy junkies, all the stuff is gone man, all of it."

"Really?" I looked at him in shock. "That was three hundred grand worth of product."

"Yeah man, between both of us, I even made something extra on top."

"That's great, I hope you can pay up the money you owe now."

"Yes, brother, if I don't squander in all in poker." He joked.

"Hey, that's not funny, the gang will come for your head and I'll not be able to save you this time." I frowned thinking of all the troubles I'd encountered because of him.

"I know, I know, that's why I'm betting on your games, come on, let's show these amateurs who the real Ace of poker is."

"Fuck." I groaned as he pulled me into the secret room.

"Fold." I smiled smugly at the junior who was playing with me.

I'd won three times in a row and they were still betting with me.

Foolish juniors.

They thought they could win my money back but they never would even if we played from this moment till the next week because they just lacked the Ace up the sleeves that I had.

"Shit, you won again." The junior slammed his card on the table and stood up.

"I guess he's done." I smirked as I packed all the chips to myself.

"Way to go, man." Fin tapped my back and grinned widely. "I bet my entire earnings on your game and you've tripled my income man." He laughed happily.

"Fin." I shook my head at him, he would never change. "We got lucky this time, you have to be careful next time Buddy."

I was in high spirits after winning the game, poker was a very relaxing game for me and I just loved the dejected looks on the faces of those who lost to me.

"Cash these chips, I've got to get some air." I told him as I stood up from the table, I just had a rather sudden urge to see Emily.

This was a very popular party, everyone knew that many gang members usually attended high school parties like this.

"Man, you gotta come see what is happening." Dale, my friend came into the room laughing, he was almost out of breath.

"What's happening?" I frowned because I knew if he was laughing so hard then something bad was happening.

"Oh, you know how much I love girl fights." He said and continued laughing.

"What is it, Ale?" I frowned at him, it had to be two girls I knew if not he would not be here telling me about it.

"Oh, it's that Olivia bitch man, she's torturing dear old virgin Mary, man that bitch us a psycho talking 'bout how you're her man and all."

"What the fuck?"

"Where?"

"The pool, man, someone's about to take a dive." He said and I didn't wait to hear more.

I doubted Emily knew how to swim and just the thought of that turned my blood cold.

***

"Where the fuck is she?" I rushed to the pool but Em was no where in sight.

Olivia was grinning along with her friends like the mad hatter and they were staring into the pool.

"Oh, Ace, you should have seen, she nearly clawed me with her fingers." She held my arm and pretended.

"What did you do to her?" I grabbed her arm roughly and twisted it.

"Shit, you're hurting me but I love it, it turns me on." She said huskily and I let go of her arm immediately, shoving her away from me, Ale was right, this bitch is a fucking psycho.

"You," I glared at her blonde friend, I didn't really know her name. "Where is she?"

"There." Her voice shook as she pointed into the pool.

"My God." I saw red immediately. "Why hasn't she swam up already."

I dived into the pool immediately and opened my eyes, it was dark under the water and my vision was very blurry but I could still see someone struggling under the water and theany bubbles.

I rushed to her and grabbed her, her eyes were closed and it seemed like she had swallowed a lot of water.

"My goodness, I didn't know that she's couldn't swim, she tried to attack me and I just shoved her in, I thought she would swim out immediately." Olivia pretended to be sorry as I hurled Emily's unconscious body unto the tiled floor.

"Shut the fuck up." Dave yelled at her as I took deep breaths

"Emily, how is she?" He knelt down beside her and checked her pulse, like the fucker knew what he was doing.

"You're a fucking monster, Olivia." He hissed.

"How was I supposed to know that she can't swim." Olivia cried.

"You better pray nothing happens to her or it's over for you." I glare at her and she shut up.

"We need to make her vomit the water." Dave said beside me and he tried to touch her.

"If you still have use for your hands, I'll advise you to keep them with you."

He swallowed visibly and he moved back but he still did not get up.

I turned Emily on her side and tried to pump her stomach so that she would vomit but nothing, I tried shaking her but it was also doing nothing.

By this time, a crowd had already gathered.

"Oh my goodness, Emily." Her friend broke through the crowd with tears flying out of her eyes.

"Who did this to her." She touched her friends cold body and her eyes turned red with anger.

"It was you wasn't it, you knew that she can't swim and still you deliberately pushed her into the water." She jumped up and launched at Olivia.

"You need to give her mouth to mouth." Someone advised as her face started to turn blue.

How the fuck did I not think about that? I mentally scolded myself for flunking school.

I knew how to give emergency CPR, I'd done it before, I even knew how to take out a bullet and stich up wounds but in this moment with Emily laying lifelessly in my arms, I felt so useless.

My hands shook as I lowered my mouth to hers, I held her nose close as I blew air into her lungs.

I came up the first time but she still hadn't responded, I was shaking in fear as I lowered my mouth to hers the second time and the third time.

Third time's the charm I guess because she coughed rapidly and pushed my face from hers weakly as she turned on her side and vomited all the water.

"Emily, thank God you're okay." I pulled her into my arms and hugged her.

"Emily." Her friend left a battered and beat up Olivia and rushed to her side immediately.

"Oh my, best friend, thank God you're okay."

Emily began to sob quietly as she hugged her best friend.

"Let's go home." She croaked out.

"I've got you." I told her and carried her into my arms.

"No." She refused and I frowned.

"Dave will take me home."

Wait, did she get hit on the head.
