The apartment complex that Rose was staying in was on a street that is always peaceful at night; which is why, most tenants from the apartments would always find a way to sneak out at night for whatever reason they got without having to be worried about getting caught as they would be alone outside anyway. Though the disadvantage was, of course, the higher possibility of something bad to happen to a person alone outside on the street.With the wind blowing her hair back, the blonde did not care about anything else (not even her wound) as she ran toward a black car that was parked in front of the apartment next door. She was excited to see the gang boss as she could only hope that no one would appear out of nowhere and stab her again like what she watched from the slasher films with her cousin.“Hey,” Dakota said with a warm smile on her face as soon as the blonde hopped on the passenger seat. “How are you?”“I’m good,” Olivia replied with a grin on her face. “I’m just really happy to
It had been a bit of a long time since the gang boss decided to bring her underboss to go get her groceries together. Since Dakota was mostly spending her time handling both of her businesses, she would often just order food from restaurants or make the chefs of her hotel cook for her while staying in her hotel as well—which is actually quite efficient since she does not have to spend plenty of money all the time for groceries.Now that the gang boss decided to care about cooking and home essentials, she finally added getting groceries to her schedule for the day that basically only existed in her head. With Knives pushing the cart, Dakota then started to pick the items that she would need without the use of a list.“Knives, this or this?” Dakota asked as she held up two bottles of tomato ketchup in different brands.“That,” Knives answered, pointing at the bottle that she was holding in her right hand.“Okay.” Without hesitation, the green-haired woman then put three bottles of ketch
Nothing felt better and worse at the same time than one’s favorite person laughing at them.For the past minute, only laughter was filling the huge silent suite. The moods of the two women were different from each other as one could totally guess which one of them was being made fun of.Again, nothing felt better and worse at the same time than one’s favorite person laughing at them especially when one was literally being serious and concerned at that moment.“Could you stop laughing? A person is serious here!” the gang boss said in frustration.“And that person shouldn’t even be serious in the first place,” the blonde replied before bursting into laughter again—this time, it was over her own statement that made her laugh even more.When Dakota arrived, she dropped all of the grocery bags that she was holding as she dashed toward the blonde whose dress was stained with something red in which she assumed to be blood. Panic was written all over the green-haired woman’s face as she kept
There was nothing better than chilling under a big umbrella on the beach while drinking cocktails with tons of ice for people who would enjoy hanging out outside on a hot day. Even with silence going around them with only the pleasant sound of waves crashing against each other from a distance, the four of them were okay with it as they felt pleased with the moment that they were currently having.The blonde threw a glance on each of them from her sides without taking her sunglasses off. Knives looked like she was sleeping though one could never know since she had her sunglasses on. Bullet was chewing on his plastic straw while spacing out. Dakota kept having slow deep breaths since she loved the atmosphere too much that she would want to inhale the good moment of it.Since Olivia stopped spacing out for a while, that was when she realized how awkward it was. When Knives and Bullet arrived, the blonde could notice the dislike that the twins had toward her. It was pretty obvious that th
Night came over quickly as none of them noticed the time until the sun was replaced by the moon. They were supposed to go back home once they reached nighttime but Bullet suddenly suggested to eat around a bonfire on the beach to not waste their chance to have the beach only for themselves for the whole day since the day had not ended yet. Eventually, they all agreed.The people who were in charge of watching the beach offered them a barbeque grill which made the night better.“Let me,” Knives said as she stood by the barbeque grill after grabbing their drinks with her twin brother.“No, it’s fine. I’m good at this anyway,” Olivia replied without throwing her a glance as she continued to grill the food.Knives was about to insist one more time when the blonde shook her head before she could even open her mouth. The raven then gave up as she went back to her seat. Less work for her anyway.Bullet had already opened one of the bottles of beer and was drinking it while warming himself up
Morning came as they decided to leave as soon as possible after eating breakfast in the hotel. The food was simple and average though they did not complain.As expected, Bullet was the only one who had a hangover among them all which made him think about how life was unfair for only making him suffer when he was not the only who drank last night. The fact that the three women did not drink the same amount of beer as him which resulted to them not having a bad hangover like him did not basically occur to him. None of them bothered arguing with him though. Arguing with a person with an awful headache would be like talking to a wall anyway.“Bye. I’m still mad not even you got a hangover,” Bullet told Olivia as they were about to separate since they drove there in separate cars.“You’re mad that I didn’t drink seven bottles last night?” the blonde responded with a playful smile on her face.“Oh, shut up.” He groaned as he turned around and climbed in the passenger seat since the sun was
It was one of the days that the blonde never expected to happen. Ever since the incident from a decade ago happened, she never dared to imagine being out with Knives to have fun doing enjoyable things together.And it unexpectedly happened after the blonde found out a dirty secret of the gang boss.Knives pulled up to a parking space as she turned the engine off.“Thanks for spending the day with me. I never expected this day to come,” Olivia said with a chuckle following after.“Yeah, same.” Knives nodded and gave her a brief small smile. “I’ll let Dakota know we’re here. She should give you an access already so you don’t have to keep depending on her.”“Well.” The blonde shrugged.After a short phone call conversation with the gang boss, the raven then turned to the blonde. “Remember to keep playing hard to get, okay? Make the boss do everything to make you forgive her. I know she’ll do that.”Olivia laughed as she nodded. “Okay, okay. Got it.”The two of them said bye to each other
“Welcome to my home.”A house in the middle of a forest was something that the blonde only ever saw in movies. She did not expect to actually see one in real life, and the amusing part was that it belonged to Dakota.“Your real house is in the middle of the forest. Wow,” Olivia uttered in awe as she looked at the house that was in dark cool tone colors.There was a black car by the house that the blonde assumed to not be in use for a long time since it would be obviously hard to drive through the forest if ever.There were outdoor lamps outside the house so that it was not dark. After all, it was already night and they were in the middle of the forest—so yes, outdoor lighting is definitely needed.“Come on. It’s dark and cold out here,” Dakota said as she held the latter’s hand and pulled her in the house.The door did not need a key but just Dakota’s fingerprint and iris. After all, it was a house belonging to the boss of a gang.The house was dull. It was obvious that a single perso
In another place. In another fate. In another universe. Dakota wakes up on her squeaky single bed. It is another day to start the day. She gets up from her bed and heads straight to the bathroom to begin brushing her teeth. Her clothes that she will be using for the day is already prepared inside her small wooden closet. If only her room is only for herself, she would have bought a bigger closet. Dakota looks at herself on the mirror one last time once she is completely ready to leave. She runs her hand through her newly dyed orange hair and lets out a sigh, realizing what her new hair color means. A new hair color means a new chapter. And the new chapter in question is a new semester. Dakota walks out of the dormitory and joins the flock of students entering the university where she studies at. Her dream is just beginning as she stares at the huge logo of her university at the gate. “Hey! What time does your class start?” She looks at the person who suddenly appears next to her
The venue that was filled with delightful laughter and loud music was now filled with screams of terror and gunshots. The sudden change was like parkour.It seemed that it was going to be the biggest war to occur in Flyve City as the two most powerful gangs all came to fight.“Dead Soul vs. Blood Trouble” was about to be included in the future history textbooks.Dakota pulled Olivia to hide behind a rectangular that was pushed down to serve as a barricade instead of a furniture to hold food. She would take a peek and shoot the enemies that she could see, while the blonde would use whatever object she finds near her to hit whoever tries to get close to them. They were being great teammates. It was no wonder they became partners in crime.“Fuck you,” the blonde hissed as she hit the man’s head with a silver pot as hard as she could which caused him to fall unconscious.Olivia was panting from the exertion as she stared at the man lying on the floor in his unconscious state. A body was s
Just when the blonde thought that she was already completely falling into the void, the light came reaching out to grab her hand. Everything that happened all at once in one night was doing more to her than devastation that it was like each of them were throwing attacks on her until she ended up on the edge of a cliff—until she lost her balance and started to fall down to the never-ending hole with no one to catch her.Until she came to catch her.Olivia felt more than a hundred times better as she let herself totally fall into the taller woman’s embrace, wishing that the latter would just hold her and never let her go forever until she becomes okay again.The green-haired woman did not speak as she just hugged her tightly and gave her gentle pats on her back, letting the blonde cry as much as she wanted to. There was nothing that the gang boss could do but to just be there for her—because that was what Olivia only needed at that moment. Someone to hold her and make her realize that t
It all started on their sophomore year in high school. Theodore and his possessiveness of Olivia.They were already teenagers which meant that they were hitting puberty. The moment when hormones are developing to a new stage.“Give me your number.”Classes had just ended and they were all leaving school when a man with a man in junior year stopped the blonde from leaving. A smirk painted on his face as he shoved his smartphone toward the girl who absolutely no interest in the guy that was standing arrogantly in front of her.“Bold of you to assume I’d give you my number,” Olivia scoffed. She was about to walk past him when he moved to stop her again, making her roll her eyes. “I said, no.”“Oh? You’re being disrespectful to your senior.” He gasped, acting shocked at her response. “Girls like you need to be taught a lesson.”“What if I teach you a lesson?” Olivia threw a glare at him. She had to look up a bit because of their height difference.“In a kinky way?” His smirk grew wider as
A week passed by quickly since that day.Even though Dakota had always been softhearted to Olivia to the point that she could overlook every mistake she does, it was a first for the gang boss to stop being clingy for a while after a conflict.Dakota was speechless and shocked after finding out about how Olivia had to do things that she did not want to do for the sake of protecting her and their two friends. Dakota knew that Olivia was a changed person, but never did she imagine the blonde to be selfless for a decade just for her.The possibility of the two of them being in more danger by being together again made the gang boss suddenly snap back to reality. They were not the main characters in a love story with a happy ending, that was the fact. Dakota loved Olivia, but she was just realizing that it was wrong even though the thought of that hurt her a lot.The gang boss drove the blonde near the café that was near the hospital after finishing their lunch which happened quickly unlike
Everything that happened seemed to be fast. It felt like the first day that the blonde started to date Theodore was yesterday. It felt like the day that Theodore first confessed his feelings for her was just two days ago. It felt like she was just suddenly brought to the future in a split second with how everything had not been done processing yet.The blonde stared at the orange soda in the glass that she was holding as she swirled it around, watching the bubbles produce because of the release of carbon dioxide from the soft drink. She was told to watch TV to kill time though she did not even bother turning it on. Her head was currently full that she could not bear to let more things enter her brain from the television which contained plenty of things.“Hey, are you okay?” Olivia looked up and saw the green-haired woman with a curious and concerned look on her face as she sat down next to her while placing their food on the table in front of them.“Yeah, I’m fine,” the blonde replied
There were plenty of eyes around especially as it was daytime and the place was literally close to the hospital. Because of that, it really had become more difficult to meet up even though they wanted to.But it was not like that would stop them.The blonde walked in the café with a blank face. She had a natural posture and a calm expression on her face as she went to order a cup of cappuccino at the counter. It was currently work hours so there were not much people in the café except for people who were either having their break time from work or were just jobless.Olivia gave the barista a brief smile as she thanked him for her coffee before walking to a vacant table that was on the corner of the room, far from the entrance. She took out her phone and sipped on her coffee as soon as she sat down.“Do you even ever get a drink other than cappuccino?” On the opposite side of the room was a green-haired woman in a black leather jacket seated at a table while facing her laptop with a cu
The blonde was in deep concentration, processing the documents that started to stack because of her absence for a week. She realized how taking leaves at work were not always fun because the happiness would only stay for a specific duration, and she would later be in hell that’s hotter than before once she goes back to work.Olivia did not even notice someone entering her office because of how busy she was with her eyes glue on the computer screen, switching from the device and to the documents that were on her desk. She nearly jumped from her seat in surprise when the person knocked on her desk, making her finally look up and acknowledge the person’s presence.“Oh, Theo,” Olivia uttered as she leaned back to her seat and took her cup of coffee to take a sip on it. It was a good thing that the latter came by to her office because that would mean that she had to stop working for a while, which means that that would be her only break. “What’s up?”“Why didn’t you tell me that you had a
What was more romantic than a dinner reservation in a fast-food restaurant with a neat table that was fixed with a candle and folded napkins? Homemade dinner that would be cooked together.The rest of the night together was supposed to be romantic with the two women cooking their dinner together at the gang boss’s home.But it was not as romantic as expected.“Am I supposed to cut them like this?” asked the blonde after struggling to have her third cut on a single piece of potato.“What does it look—oh god.” The green-haired woman pursed her lips in as she gently pushed the latter aside and took the knife from her. “You’re even holding it wrong.”“Oh! I was?” She could not believe that Olivia was genuinely shocked at her statement.“Yeah. It’s basic knowledge that knives are held by the handle and not the blade,” Dakota spoke with a smile on her face to not make things serious. “It’s okay. I’ll handle it here. Just go wash the lettuce.”“Roger.” Olivia then went to the sink to finish
