Patience Is Not A Trait I possess

last update Last Updated: 2023-08-26 19:51:50

He did to her what he did best, ruin......

"Call me whatever you want Aiden, you should know I don't care" I smirk at him before taking a sip of my bourbon.

"You're crazy. I wonder why I'm friends with any of you. I'm beginning to think you're crazier than Roman. And that's saying a lot" Aiden shakes his head as he checks his phone again for the thirteenth time in fifty seconds.

"Hey! What did I do?" Roman demands from where he's seated. His attention finally was on the rest of us and not his wife.

"You're crazy that's what you did" Aiden answers

"Aiden says the rate at which this Italian bastard is going, he might just be crazier than you" Nate another friend of mine answers

"Shutup! I'm not crazy" Roman defends

"Yeah right. Coming from the guy who threatened his woman's best friend, just so she'd go on a date with him" Aiden rolled his eyes, pouring himself another drink.

We all laughed at the memory "Hey! That doesn't mean I'm crazy. That can be any of you guys, you know?" Roman said. I could sense a bit of pride and a lack of regret as he reminisced over what he did.

"Never!" Aiden, Nate and Cain answered at the same time.

I look at Roman with raised brows, his face holding the same expression. Safe to say we've been tryna figure out how they do this for all the years we've been friends.

"You three are weird" Roman shakes his head and heads to the kitchen to continue what I'm guessing is phone sex with his wife.

He's obsessed with her.

"Don't you fucking cum in my sink you pervert!" Cain yells at Roman as he turns into the kitchen

I smile. I guess we were all thinking the same thing.

Roman's head pops through the door halfway "Why don't you stop spelling your name with a K and then you can talk to me about where I cum" Roman taunts Cain. We all laugh at the inside joke "You know what?" He pauses "For that, I'm gonna leave a little surprise in your pots, you dumb fuck" he laughs before he disappears back into the kitchen

"That was one time! One fucking time" he smacks his forehead defeatedly "And don't you dare cum in my fucking pot Roman Williams!" He turns to the rest of us "He's not gonna do it right?" He asks hopefully and we all shrug trying to hold back our laughter "Shit!" Cain looks in the direction of the kitchen then back at the rest of us.

I turn my head to Aiden and Nate who are still held up in the conversation of who's crazier between Roman and me. "All I'm saying is that Roman is a crazy bastard but you!" Aiden points to me, "You, my man, are a psychotic bitch." They all laugh and I notice Aiden checking his phone again, this time with a frown.

I lean in closer "You want to know why you're friends with the rest of us sick bastards? Maybe because you know deep down that you're just as crazy as us, and once you meet that woman who knows how to push all those buttons, in an infuriating, hot manner and you can't resist her. You'll go to hell and back just to make sure she's yours and only yours. And guessing, from the way you've been glancing at your phone every second with a frown, which I know can't be work, only a woman can infuriate you that much" I relax back into my seat "I'm guessing you've found her bud."

Nate and Cain laugh "You're crazy," Aiden says "But you're also right. God, she's so fucking infuriating and at the same time intoxicating. It's like one minute I won't go on dates with her and the next I just want to lock her away from the rest of the world, where it's just us two." He sighs "God now I sound like you and Roman"

"Nate" Cain calls out

"I'm beginning to think we're the only normal ones in this friendship"

Nate nods "Yes. I agree Cain with a K" he taunts and we all burst out laughing

Cain frowns "Fuck you man" he chuckles but fails as he tries to keep a straight face. "One time! And all of you, including Aaliyah, will never let me forget it"

We've forced him to relive one of the most embarrassing moments of his life again.

It was the first time he met his fiance. Aaliyah Andrews worked at a bank. And Cain had to go in personally for some issue he had.

When he saw her all he did was stare, for five minutes straight.

Aaliyah was shocked so she asked what the problem was.

But Cain was still mute. Completely dumbfounded by the melanin goddess in front of him. His words not mine

She proceeded to ask him some questions after he finally managed to snap out of his trance which involved his name, Cain.

And our love-struck friend proceeded to spell Cain with a K.

All Aaliyah did was laugh and write down the correct spelling instead of what he spelt after she realized the Cain he was trying to spell.

At that moment he didn't realize his mistake, so he had no idea why she laughed. It was after he had gotten in his car and started reliving his moments with her in his head, that was when he realized he fucked up.

"Okay Cain with a K" I laugh as I taunt him more

"Fuck you! All of you." He turns his head to the kitchen again "Where the fuck is Roman? He better not be ruining my pots! They were fucking expensive! Aaliyah would kill me" He yelled loud enough so Roman would hear. The last part seemed to hold a bit of fear and seriousness.

"Where's she by the way? I've missed that woman" I smile at the memory of the five-foot troublemaker, who never fails to call me or any of us out on our bullshit. Me especially.

"She and the girls had a spa date or whatever they call it, I'm surprised Asia can talk with that dumbass. Raven told me no phones or... any of us are allowed" Aiden explained, rolling his eyes at the last part.

"Athena too. Fuck! I hate being away from her for too long. How long do you think it takes to get their hair and stuff done?" Nate asked. He sounded like he was ready to go get his woman no matter the rules they had set.

"Aaliyah usually just tells me I'm black, so guess how long it's gonna take," Cain says with as much precision he could muster to mimic his girlfriend

Nate and Aiden gasp at the same time before saying "No way! I think that's a rehearsed version. My woman says that too" They both say at the same time, without missing a beat.

And No! None of them are brothers

Cain's eyes widen "Okay I know we do that a lot together, but that creeped me out to see and hear"

Aiden and Nate laugh.

I shake my head and drink my bourbon. "At this point, I'm not even surprised anymore, I've learned to expect anything from you lot" I inform three of them.

They're not brothers, just friends. But they seem to have this weird, triplet telepathy thing going on.

Someone outside the friend group might think they're related, a lot of people have.

Including their women.

I can't count how many times Roman and I have made them get DNA tested. Even though they have completely different last names.

Cain Hemsworth, Aiden Bells and Nate Jacobs.

And all the tests came back negative.

I sigh and get up fixing my shirt "Okay I'm not gonna sit here and listen or watch you dumb three, continue your telepathy bullshit. I've got a date with a certain melanin goddess myself" I say copying Cain's words and he chuckles

"Woah! You finally asked her out?" Aiden asked

He knows about my Nova. They all did.

I walk off towards the door slowly "Nope" I reply "Throw your pots away after Roman is done" I advise Cain while patting him on the shoulder. He just sighs defeatedly, placing his face in the palm of his hand.

"Then how do you have a date?" Nate asked just as confused as the rest

I smirk and turn so I'm facing all of them "Through the cameras, I set up in her house"

"What!?" The trio exclaim together again

I chuckle "Patience is not a virtue I have, my friends" I make my way out "Goodbye"

I close the door behind me not before I hear Aiden saying I'm crazy and the rest agreeing with him.

I never denied it.

    Leonardo I stare at Aaliyah and I can't help the small smile that appears on my face."You look happier," she mutters.I smile at her, "I am. So, when can you stop playing my fucking therapist." This was something we unknowingly started years ago after she got together with Roman and she witnessed me kill a man that almost raped her while Roman was been electrocuted repeatedly and made to watch. What I did was nothing compared to what Roman would have done if he had successfully gotten out of that chair. I was the lesser evil in my opinion.Aaliyah didn't see it that way. So here we are for one of our unexpected therapy sessions. You'd think for someone who is eight months pregnant she'd want to be in bed resting, instead, she's here grilling me about mental health and shit.I miss Nova.

    Nova Leo just strolled out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist looking as delicious as ever. My eyes roam over his body and I trail the droplets of water running down from his chest to his stomach imagining what my tongue would feel like when I lick it clean."Why do you look so good?" The question is out of my mouth before I can stop it.He smirks, "I can't help it. It's a blessing, baby.I move off the bed and stand in front of him. "I have the urge to climb you like a tree every time because you look so fucking good!" "Oh, really? What's stopping you?"There's a drop of water rolling from his shoulder down to his stomach. I bend in front of him before darting my tongue out to lick the water right above his navel. Leo releases a loud moan and it does something to me knowing the amount of control I have over him."That feel good?" I ask teasing."Fuck, yes.""Yeah," I look at the tent that's now forming under his towel. "You get that hard easily a lot?" I tease him and

    Nova & Leo I make my way inside, trying to ignore the rush of blood in my ears and the deafening decibels of the metronome in my chest. The rush calms down when my eyes meet with bright blue eyes, silently reassuring me.If Leo was not here, I don't know what I'll do.But I do know it won't be pretty. People who say they aren't capable of violence are liars. Everyone is capable of it. It's a matter of learning what will push you to that point.I've spilled blood. Out of luck or whatever anyone wants to call it.This crusade is fueled by love. A pretty, sparkling, soft emotion, capable of wreaking more havoc than hate.Hate can't dig under the skin the way love does. It doesn't alter your cells or spark chemistry. You'd bleed for someone you love, never someone you truly hate. But hate holds a dark power of its own. And right now, both hate and love are driving my decisions.I'm volatile and angry.Terrified and nervous. As I look at the man I call my father, bound, and bruised

  • His To Ruin   The Cleansing

    Leonardo I cock my head to the side, staring at the running man with bewilderment. “Why does he run like that?” I ask, genuinely concerned if Charles Klay likes to peg himself with foreign objects. Maybe one got stuck because Jesus fucking Christ, who runs like that? I can't believe we've been chasing Edward and his lackeys for close to a month and this limping ape is the closest thing to him that we've got.“That… that’s a good question,” Nate answers through my earpiece, sounding just as bemused as I am. He’s watching through the drone hovering over the awkwardly running dude. We’ve been tracking Charles Klay since he fled from Councilman David’s house. He wasn’t hard to find despite his best efforts to stay hidden. I’m sure it hurt his shriveled little soul to have millions of dollars and not be able to fuck off to a tropical island with strippers and blow. Guess the dude hasn’t fried his brain with drugs so badly that he’s not aware of the massive target on his back.H

    Leo I stare at Nova's face and the way she grips my hand and rubs it reassuringly. "Let's go inside, baby. I have a surprise for you.""A surprise? Leo are you sure you want to go in there? All you have in this place are bad memories. Why would you want to go in there?" The worry in her tone almost deters me but I remembered why I chose to come here.I pull her closer to me, my hands wrapped around her waist. As my fingers roam all over her soft supple skin I have it in me to fuck her here against a tree and from the way she's breathing I'm sure she feels the same way. "It's okay, my love.""I just don't want this ugly place to trigger any bad memories for you." She places her palm on my cheek.I lean my face into her touch, "I'll be fine, I've got you. Just be here, okay? Can you do that for me, baby?" I ask her"Always. It's you and me, Leonardo Ricci."I kiss her deeply and passionately. "That's my girl.

    Nova"Can I take you somewhere?" Leo asks. I've just stepped out of the bathroom from my shower, yanking a brush through my wet, tangled hair. I tear the bristles through a particularly brutal knot, uncaring of the way the strands tear. "Baby, you're hurting your hair. Let me brush it." Feeling defeated, I slump my shoulders, trudge over to him, and sit on the floor between his spread knees. He takes the brush from me and gently starts running it through the sopping tresses, slowly detangling the mop on my head. It feels nice, but I'm too tired to appreciate it. Leo was right. Happiness is fleeting, however, over the past weeks, he's done everything in his power to help me hold on to any semblance of peace. Finishing with the brush, he sets it down on the bed and gathers my hair together. I nearly choke when he begins braiding it. "Where the hell did you learn to do that?" I ask. I'm tempted to twist around like a dog chasing its tail, just so I can witness this. "Aaliyah taug

    Leo "I'm not surprised my mum hasn't called." She sighs tiredly before sitting on the bed "Even my brother, Chance. Do you think they're part of everything alongside Edward?""I don't know, baby. I don't care what they are part of as far as they didn't come for you.""Hmm," She's silent for a beat. "I can't believe our fathers love each other. It's scary to imagine." There's a small smile on her face and I'm happy to see she's gradually moving past what happened."I'd rather not have that sort of image in my head right now, darling.""I'm sorry," she smiles.I settle in deeper next to her, slumping against the stone wall, careful not to touch her, though my body is vibrating with the need to. We haven’t touched since I found her in the hangar, and each second feels like a stab in the chest. Fiending for Nova Carter is a feeling I’m old friends with, but this is the first time I refuse to act on it. “You don't have to apologize. Tell me about her,” I say. “Tell me everything

    Nova "So, If I'm not hallucinating, why the hell is Tiffany tied to a chair? And why are we in a hangar? How did I get here? Whose jet is that?" I asked Leo after taking a look around. The last thing I remember was running and then seeing a dead body before I passed out.How the hell did I get to this unfamiliar hangar? I woke up not long ago to see Tiffany tied to a chair with two bleeding stab wounds in her thigh. Leo said he was responsible and he didn't look one bit remorseful about it.I stand up from the bed and I'm about to walk down to where Tiffany is when Leo holds me back. "I'm going to explain, baby. But first, you need to rest.""Why is she here, Leo? Why did you hurt her?" I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. I know he'd never hurt Tiffany without reason, but I still want to hear him say it."Because she hurt you. And for that, she can't go unpunished." "W-what do you mean?" My throat still hurts a little with each word I utter."Tiffany was the one who brought

    Leonardo I'm going to kill Alessandro. I intended to kill him before but the urge to kill him is stinger now, it's almost maddening. And as for Edward, I might let Nova decide what happens to him."Can I at least have a bandage or shirt to stop the blood? It's too much" Tiffany asks."Keep talking before I decide that the next place this scalpel will enter is the side of your neck. Keep talking."She sighs defeatedly before obeying. Alessandro approached me first. He seemed to know everything about me and how my brother was murdered. He said he and Edward could help me get revenge and also pay me if I did what they wanted. I was desperate, so I agreed. He gave me a file that contained a lot of things about you. He didn't disclose fully how he got it but he knew I knew you. He later on told me that you were once an agent part of this secret organization funded by some government officials, but you went rogue." Tiffany's eyes lock with mine.
