“I like hearing you laugh and love it if it’s because of me.”Today Natalie, Amanda, and Tyler were in the mall. Shopping.Tyler was being playful with Natalie flirting every second as much as he could while annoying his sister at the same time.Amanda had a permanent scowl on her face. Regretting bringing Tyler with her. But he was good at blackmailing her emotionally.“I swear it god. I will scream and tell the guards that I don’t know who up you are and you’re disturbing us.”“Ouch” Tyler faked an expression as her words hurt him. “Well, then I guess me and Natalie will have to go leave you here alone while we do the rest of the shopping.”He put his arm over her shoulder rushing her with him into the shop as Amanda chased him shouting profanities. Natalie laughed and stopped not wanting to make Amanda more annoyed than she already was.Amanda huffed at Tyler who just pinched her cheeks and quickly kissed her forehead.“I was joking Amanda. Let’s go to a shop, where ever you want to
“I will always be one step ahead of you to face any danger coming your way cause I can’t bear the thought of you getting hurt.”Natalie and Adrian entered the old shipyard they stayed near when they were hiding from Lucas. Adrian got to know that in this place only Franklin, his Uncle's closest friend lived. After his uncle's death, Franklin too left the mafia business and started fresh here.Natalie climbed out of the car and looked around. There was a section of private yachts there and many trading ships. Families were roaming around in the yacht section while the workers were setting up stuff in the ships. She turned towards Adrian who nodded towards a warehouse in the shipyard.They started walking in crossed many rows of boxes piled up and then saw a trailer in the corner. On the way, Natalie saw a few weird looks from some men like they were trying to remember. Natalie was on high alert because of that, they have indeed offended many gangs and they never know who might be relate
“This love is out of control....”Natalie and Adrian held their breath, just a few yachts more to cross and they would see them. Adrian looked around to find a spot to hide but there were none. Natalie looked around as well and observed the surroundings. A few adults gazed at the sky as they sat on a bench. A few teenagers taking pictures. Some couples waited to get onto the yacht as they held hands. And she knew what to do. Natalie turned to Adrian who was looking down at the water contemplating jumping in and holding their breath for some time to escape their eyes. But Natalie stepped forward and grabbed his face in her hand, making him look at her with confusion swirling in his orbs but he did not move or try to create any space in between them. He wanted to know what she was thinking or trying to do.Footsteps could be heard coming their way and without wasting any more time Natalie pressed their lips together. She moved her lips against his very softly. Adrian was so shocked fo
“I turned to look at you and found you already staring....”Natalie laid down in her bed after having to lie to Isaac about her whereabouts. She told him she had returned from the mall and left out the whole Adrian part. Isaac didn’t question it he was happy she was enjoying this temporary normal life. He talked a bit about what happened as she told about told him about Amanda and Tyler, and their bickers. Isaac mentally noted Tyler’s name in his head, feeling that the boys might be trouble for them. He felt Natalie's attention was not fully on their conversation as he had to repeat his questions sometimes but Natalie would quickly change the topic asking how his day went instead. Isaac noted it but asked if she might be tired, as he himself was after spending the whole day training and practicing shooting as he trained the other men as well. Isaac was leaving to his bed when Natalie called him out and gave him a bag she had bought earlier, which had a leather jacket in it. Just what
“Don’t need you to say the words.....your eyes tell enough.”Natalie was sitting looking around completely uninterested. Today she regretted coming since two of her classes were canceled because the teachers were absent. Plus now she would have to even face him later for their class together after what happened last night. Just wonderful.She never ever actually did get attracted to anyone. She knew about her background and didn’t want to drag anyone into that dangerous world and all the drama because immaturity was not something she looked forward to ever. That basically crossed out everyone but then there is Adrian. Just the only problem was his name, Smirnov mainly. That is what she told herself at least despite knowing fully well her past was also in the way.Since morning Tyler was roaming around with her when Amanda had to go to her classes. Tyler was a bit more touchy today. Even though he was quite subtle about it it didn’t go unnoticed by her. She knew she had to make it clea
“I trust you, and not a third person talking about you.”Natalie was walking to her car when someone grabbed her hand roughly and pushed her against her car. She turned ready to punch the shit out of the person who touched her like this but she paused as she found Greyson in front of her. He was towering over her with a furious expression gritting his teeth. Natalie noticed the injuries on his face and the slightly fading black eye. What happened to him?She was about to push him away sick of his actions but halted as he spoke in an enraged tone."You think you got me beaten so I won't do anything? Huh?" He yelled slamming his fist on the car. "I will show you exactly what I can do to ruin your life!" Then with a dark chuckle, he leaned forward and spoke "How do you think people will see you then? How will he see you then? A look of fear passed through her eyes which he recognized easily. She no longer wondered what beating her was talking about as she was still, fear crawling in her
“She was bad, he was worst, and together they were horrible......for others.”It had been a few days and Adrian would enjoy the time he spent with her, was it in college or sometimes when she would come over to meet Tim. He would always try to rile her up just to get some reaction, make her lose her calm attitude. He loved to bring up something related to the kiss one way or the other which ended up, all the same, her glaring at him with enraged fire in her eyes knowing fully well that he was doing that deliberately. But he would just arrogantly smirk in return but mentally he would be smiling. He knew he was the only person she showed her anger to because most of the time she had a blank expression like him. They didn’t care about showing anyone what they felt but when she would get angry at him it almost made him feel special. It was something he now quite look forward to...their interaction.Adrian sat down on his bed as he went through his phone. He had managed to get the meeting's
“How ironic that a common enemy put the other two together.”Adrian was walking out to his car to get some video games that really help him to keep Timofey occupied. He loved his brother dearly but sometimes his cheekiness was a bit too much.As he turned around a corner he ran into a kid. The kid stumbled back but balanced himself before he could fall. Then he looked up with a tiny glare on his face.Jerry...His expression immediately turned into a light smile as he looked up at Adrian. “Tom!”Adrian chuckled at the nickname.“Still don’t trust me enough to give me your name? He spoke shaking his head.At that, Jerry looked a little hesitant like he wanted to but had some doubts. Adrian could see it easily and not wanting to pressurize this tiny person he changed the topic.“You’re with someone?”“Yess and this is the reason why I don’t give you my name you keep asking me questions like you want to kidnap me or something.”Adrian chuckled. “My mistake. You should go before—“He sto
