Good boy, Badass boy Chapter 44 Enticing Revenge
"Nothing much. Just make this last few minutes bearable for me." She nodded, forcing herself to keep mute. Percy used the opportunity to look her over, he couldn't deny the faint stirrings of familiarity that had been gnawing at him since he first saw her but he couldn't quite figure out where he had met her before. "Do you have a sister?" He suddenly blurted. She looked at him, a brow raised. "Yes. Why?" "Do you dislike her?" He asked again. He was suddenly restless. "Very much. Again, why are you asking?" Percy stared at her some more before realization dawned on him. His eyes popped out. "Rosetta."*Rosetta watched his reaction amusedly, "Is my name that enticing?" He quickly shook his head, composing himself. How could he not have remembered her? "You're acting strange." She commented, picking up her wine glass. "Tell me" He began, curious and intrigued by this sharp mouthed, beautiful, classy woman. She had really grown. "Tell you what?" Rosetta thought Percy's looks
Good boy, Badass boy Chapter 45 Just one car racing
"The car is too quiet" Percy finally broke the heavy long silence, "What's up?" She shrugged. He was the one driving though she had offered to take him home, it was easier than him giving her directions. "You are not the only one that feels strange. We spent over three hours talking, I guess we have a connection after all." She glanced at him and an idea suddenly popped into her head. "I want revenge." "Revenge?" "On Domenico. Spend the rest of the night with me."*Percy was stunned. "There are a few bars open and parties going on. We could pop in one. Don't worry, I'll explain to Luna if she misunderstands." His first instinct was to object but Rosetta wasn't ready to back down. "Please." He hesitated. What could possibly go wrong? " Fine" He sighed, "Where?" Rosetta beamed. "Reverse. I have the perfect spot." ° Early Sunday morning, Luna was the first to wake. She appeared puzzled at first. What she was lying on didn't feel like her bed neither did the air smell like h
Good boy, Badass boy Chapter 46 Shattered
"I had good company." There was a slight smirk on Marino's face. Domenico shook his head. When would his friend ever change?He remembered his earlier promise and made a phone call to Rosetta. It rang and rang but no one picked. Percy took Luna home afterwards to wash up and then they headed to church, nothing seemingly wrong with them. But even though they had each other, both of them still found their minds drifting back to the events of the previous night. It was just one car racing, one evening of fun but it changed everything. Nothing was ever going to remain the same.*Percy wasn't one to dabber in uncertainty. He didn't like feeling unsure about anything especially not about the relationship he cherished so much. He wanted to marry her, he loved her, his Luna; but now, after the previous evening, he found himself second guessing. Not second guessing neither was he unsure. It was nice that things had happened this way. He himself had known that he would have to eventually clear
Good boy, Badass boy Chapter 47 Change
"What!" She gasped out, "you two are breaking up!? No way! No way, Luna! You fight for him! Don't you let him go!" But Luna was pulling off the engagement ring already. It flew the short distance to Percy but never made it, it hit the tiled floors with a clang. A clang that shook Percy and Gertrude to the core. Luna was never violent. A bang not a clink this time had Percy jumping to his feet in realization of the damage he had caused. Gertrude flung the hot water jug in her hand at Percy. He dodged just in time to not let its hot contents touch his face. The glass jug, like a sign, shattered to pieces.Five years later... •Our selfishness is our downfall. •It's okay to not be okay but it's not okay to blame others for not being okay. No one is your heart or soul or mind and hence, no one controls it. You do. You are the master of all your actions. •It's okay to make mistakes, what matters is rising up from them and apologizing to those you wronged. •We blame our problems/mist
Good boy, Badass boy Chapter 48 Incompetent
"You look like a promising hardworking engineer and it's a pity to see you waste your talents on such a worthless company that can't take good care of it's workers. I mean, look at you. If you won't take my offer this instant then get out and never return." Domenico bowed respectfully with a forced, "Thank you sir." before walking out. The whole short bus ride and eventual walk back to his company; because he has exhausted all his cash and he hadn't been given transport allowance; he practically hid himself in the walls. Did he look that bad?*"Two! Just two out of five contracts! How useless are you! So incompetent! How can I let you work as an engineer when you can't do the simple work of a marketer! Useless! Get out of my sight!" Domenico trudged tiredly to his home some one kilometer from his company. He had no cash on him for transport and he had left work with his salary deducted, again. He could envision his empty cupboards and fridge. Even the wine he longed to drink was t
Good boy, Badass boy Chapter 49 Family
"You won't find the right one because you'll chase her away with your disgusting attitude." "Don't scare me." Marino chuckled. He suddenly jumped up. "Let's head downtown, your house feels so gloomy." He laughed but didn't protest, "Drinks on you." "Sure."*Domenico sat in a cafe two days after his and Marino's late night out. It was late in the evening but he wasn't ready to report back to his boss. That day was a mass failure, no contracts. He had a dreary feeling he would be fired. It would be so much better for him. He would go back to his home town and live with his family and perform whatever odd jobs he could. He looked down at his empty coffee cup. He was deceiving himself, he'd never be able to face the pity looks he would get. He'd go back to them alright but when he had made something of himself. The cafe door opened and a lady entered. He froze, his heart rate palpitating. The tall brunette looked too familiar, too famil... He sighed, relaxing when he saw her face. Ho
Good boy, Badass boy Chapter 50 Luna
"Don't cry" He passed her a tissue, "It's my choice. Don't blame yourself." "Bro Nico, we'll send you food everyday! You have to be as fat as I am!" Mario said firmly in his little voice, his look stern, "you mustn't let mama cry." He smiled, patting his little nephew on the head. "Will you?" Andrea asked, now calm. "What?" He picked up his fork again, catching Marco's glare. "Will you let us send you foodstuffs every two weeks? Please, Nico. Let us feel like we're helping out." He sighed. "Ok... Plus my favourite homemade sausage." They laughed. Family was home.*Six days later, he watched her walk up to him in the same cafe. It seemed they had a thing for meeting in cafes. Luna. She was as always dressed simply but with an air of elegance. She looked more mature and very much more beautiful and she still had that air of innocence that surrounded her, that aura of goodness. Just as she made to sit opposite him, the church bells rang. She seemed disoriented for a second befo

He stared out the window; his emotions conflicting and clashing. She was sincere in her apology and he definitely forgave her... and his best friend, Marino. To think Marino had harboured the secret for years. He shook his head. He had been the fool all along, the fool who couldn't see what was right in front of his nose. He should have known; he should have sensed it. "Domenico." He looked back into her nervous eyes. "Its fine, I forgive you but it'll take a bit more time for the wound to heal." "You need space?" She was sad. He smiled, "You've given me enough space. We'll move on." Her downcast face lightened into a smile, broke into a giggle then widened in relieved laughter. They'll move on.*He didn't hear any of the insults his boss threw at him nor mind when he was denied salary for the month. It was okay now. His past was clear. He met Rosetta waiting at his door, decked in a red pant suit, high heels, a designer bag hanging stylishly from her left arm and her now lon

"Rosetta...""Alright, alright, I'll let it go," She grumbled and pulled away."You are angry," He turned to her.She switched off the gas before the pancake on it could get burnt."We'll shop later, together, I promise," He said."I am not angry," She said casually, "Can we eat now?"She watched the muscles on his back flex as he took off the pancake from the pan and made coffee for them. He was a good man and he seemed too sincere for her, perhaps that was why she gave in to her want to sleep with him but there was just something... off?*Rosetta laughed at a joke Antonio made as she filled two glasses with cherry juice."That was not funny," She rolled her eyes as she handed him his glass."But you laughed," He teased, pulling her close by the waist."Antonio, we are at work," She giggled, biting her lip."I decide when we work and when we don't," He nuzzled her cheek.The door to his lunch room suddenly flew open and she jumped. He held her down. It was the guard that always stoo
Good boy, Badass boy Chapter 62: Something... off?
Rosetta did indeed believe that she could fall for Antonio Galdo but watching it happen over the weeks they spent brooding over architectural plans and planning the building structure over lunches and late-night dinners, she felt easy. How could a man, no matter how rich and handsome and well-mannered he was, just admit his attraction to her and she was head over heels for him? It was too easy, too too easy. Everything was going too smoothly, he was too good to be true. She brushed off the thought as she walked out the doors of her firm. The more she thought about him, the more she grew attracted to him. She instead filled her mind with thoughts of the cool bubble bath and the N*****x movies she planned to binge watch all night long. It was the weekend and she really wanted to spoil herself rotten. Preparations for Nico and Luna's wedding were also ongoing and she was one of the bridesmaids. She smiled, unlocking her car. There was nothing that forgiveness could not accomplish.She ha
Good boy, Badass boy Chapter 61: Marry me
"Luna?"Her eyes widened as they met with Domenico's blue ones. When did he get into the garden?Alessandro turned around. "Ah," He smiled, "Your date," He glanced at her and winked, "I'll leave you two alone."She waited until Alessandro was out of hearing range before she faced Nico "Can I help you?""I love you," He blurted out and she gasped. He closed the space between them and grabbed her by the waist, "I love you, Luna. We are not mere friends."Her heart leaped high in her chest as he slammed his lips to hers.*Her arms moved of their own accord and entangled themselves around his neck. She was high, high on love, high on happiness.They came up for air and he peppered kisses all over her face, their breathing rough and hot."What took you so long?" She breathed out, "Why did you take so long?""I'm sorry," He kissed her again and again and again until they had to pull apart for more air."I love you too, since Colland maybe."He grinned and pulled her into his arms. There wa
Good boy, Badass boy Chapter 60: Kisses
How far gone was he? Too far, too too far, or else he wouldn't be chasing her all over the place. He accused her of not admitting her feelings for him at the hospital but he was the real hypocrite; he was the one holding them back from crossing the friendship stage because he was scared she'd reject him. After all, she was a rich heiress, she could get any man she wanted."Quite far," He admitted, glancing at Pietro."And?"He looked at him now. "And?""And what are your intentions towards her? You didn't come with her all the way here for fun, did you?"*He blew out a breath, "I want her to be my girlfriend... first. We have never tested that terrain, never given into our attraction. Then... then I'll like to marry her if she's willing."Pietro nodded his head and he seemed to be gauging his words."But I want to get stable first," He added, holding his ground, "She is used to a good life, the best life, I don't want to give her less."Pietro smiled, "You better don't."*"What was h

She decided then that he was worth having as an acquaintance."Your food is getting cold," She commented and picked up her fork."When will I see you again?" He asked when they had finished eating and he had paid the bills."You gave me your card, remember?" She rose."And you gave me no assurance of your visit." He rose also."I can't pass on some billionaire's money," She winked, "You'll see me when you see me."She strode out of the diner with her head held high. She, Rosetta Verona D'Armani, attracted the attention of a tycoon. Wasn't she too elegant?*Luna breathed a sigh of relief when she walked out of the station. The night had been hell. She hadn't been able to sleep a wink. All she could think of was if the stalker found Domenico's house and if they were in danger, and she panicked at even the slightest sound. Even worse, she was critically aware of the man that was sleeping in the bedroom.She got into the passenger seat of her car. Since Nico had volunteered to take care o

"Looks like we were destined to meet again," He smiled."It is rude to sit without invitation," She said harshly."Sorry, but I had a feeling you'd say no and I don't take no for an answer, especially when it comes to getting what I want."She raised a brow, "Your pride stinks."He shrugged, "I want to get to know you. What is prideful about that?"She stared at him. He was rich, attractive, classy, and exuded manly confidence. It wouldn't be so bad to indulge him.She relaxed and watched him over the rim of her glass."I am Antonio Galdo," He introduced, stretching his hand.*She eyed it, "I still haven't approved your intrusion."He chuckled and called on a waiter. "Do you want anything to eat or you are just here to drink?""I'll have the peppered chicken barbeque and the pasta to go with it," She answered.His lips twitched. "Same, please," He said to the waiter."Is that a flirting trick? Order the same with the lady so she thinks you are interested in her."He chuckled, "I guess

He laughed. A nice one, she noticed, admiring his pearly white teeth."I am not looking for any of those," he spoke, amused, "neither am I married. Can we just chat and try to be friends?"She rolled her eyes, finishing off her glass."Not interested."She rose, dropped her bills, and sashayed out. She sighed when she was safely in her car."Men," she shook her head and drove off.Antonio Galdo watched the silver Benz drive away."A real one," he laughed to himself, rising and adjusting his suit, "let's see if we are destined to meet again."*"Gently," Sebastian spoke when Luna stumbled. He guided her out of the hospital and into her car."Do you feel worse or better?" He asked, starting the car."Both," she answered with a grimace, leaning back in her seat."It will get better in a while," he assured her."You know this is the second time you're helping me out in this way. Don't you ever fall sick? Let me repay the kindness."He laughed."You shouldn't have called in late at work. I

"Who's trying to kill you?" He asked after they broke apart."I don't know," she shrugged, "you just told me the same thing the nurse said but I truly don't remember setting up the fireplace or burning old clothes. I came home and I called you immediately and afterward, I slept off on the couch only to wake up and find my house filled with smoke and the neighbours hitting my door."Domenico placed his palms on her pale cheek."Maybe I did but I really can't remember," she added quickly, "I'm probably worrying for nothing."*Luna leaned against the pillow, waiting for Domenico to return from getting food for them.'Do whatever you wish but trust me, you're no longer safe'The words of the blonde-haired girl kept echoing in her head. She breathed out shakily. Did she mean it?"Your body is already stressed as it is, don't overthink," Domenico said upon entering."I'm sick of this place," she pouted, "I imagined cooling off with you in some fancy diner and staring at your beautiful eyes,
Good boy, Badass boy Chapter 55: Almost dead
Percy was still Percy; mature, smart, well behaved and well, Gabriella was a new face. The wedding went well and the couple definitely looked good together. Rosetta was past caring about the past. She just wanted her life free of any feuds or competition so she smiled all the way through and let herself be sincerely happy. "Did he meet with you?" Domenico asked Luna quietly as they applauded the leaving married pair amidst showers of flowers and glitters. "Yeah. He apologized, explained everything. We're good." The reception took place later on. The day ended on a happy note.*Luna walked to her car in the parking lot, forcing herself not to smile or get lost in thoughts. It was already enough that she had been daydreaming all day about him.The weekend was the best she had in a while. From Percy's wedding to watching a movie with him to spending the entire Sunday at her home with one of her girlfriends."Hey! Watch your steps!"She bumped into someone."I'm sorry, so sorry, I was
