Thea Angel had been meeting with Cole every other day, I missed him each time he was away even though I got to spend time with him the remaining hours of each day. I was glad that things were heading somewhere now, it was a blessing that Cole had such access to where Sparrow was and as for Natalia, I hoped she got what she deserved. I didn't trust her but I didn't expect her to have so much jealousy and envy towards me, enough to side with Sparrow. I wouldn't trust that man if I were her. Angel had been so loving to me all these days coming back with one gift or the other to make up for the time he spent away from me. I loved the princess treatment too much and I realized just how much I needed it. He wasn't just the Mafia boss who was in love with me, he was acting as a proper boyfriend. There was something to worry about though, Lola had been trying to get in contact with him for reasons best known to her. I didn't want to think too much of it but I had encouraged him to g
Thea The game continued and I watched Angel deal hard punches at Caspian, he had already proved what he wanted to prove to me and I was proud of him but now I wanted him for myself so I gave him a signal the next time we locked gazes. He doesn't engage in the next round, allowing someone else take his spot. "My love, you did really well, I'm proud of you." I say as he holds my waist and leans towards me for a kiss. "I'm glad you're proud." He said dragging my lower lips before it slipped out of his mouth. I grab his towel which he hung around his shoulder then I use it to dry the sweat off his body. I take a water bottle from the little bag we brought along in order to keep stuffs like it and hand it to him, so that he stayed hydrated. After he was done gulping the content, he lead me by the hand and sat down, pulling me to sit on his lap as well. I rest my head on his shoulder, while his arms are wrapped around my waist. He kisses my chest, shoulder and neck from time to tim
Thea Carl startles the moment he sees us and stops pacing. "Carl?" I call, questioning him with my gaze. "Carl?" Cassie calls excitedly. "What a surprise. I'm Cassandra...." "I know you, you're Angel's sister." Cassie had stretched forth her hand to exchange pleasantries when he cut her off. He simply stared at her hand and smiled while she withdrew it awkwardly. "You must hate me." "I only hate your brother not you." He says and I was surprised at how blunt he was. Didn't think he'd act that way to Cassandra but then her brother almost killed him. Was I expecting him to be kind to her? "That's fair enough." Cassandra said, I knew she felt bad. Carl forced a smile and turned his gaze to Camila. "Camila?" He said, his smile was more genuine. He clearly didn't fancy Cassandra. "Yes, hope you're not having a hard time." Camila said showing genuine concern. "Been good so far." "Good to know." Camila said but her expression was doubtful. Considering what Floren
AngelI listened to Thea and contacted Lola. I set our meeting for the next day. We met at a restaurant close to a designer store where I had dropped Thea to do some shopping while she waited. I had made reservations for a Vip space in the restaurant so that we could have the privacy we needed to talk about business. Less people were on this space and they weren't even close to us. A waiter serves serves us our drink and gestures a smile before leaving. It was just me and Lola and things got a little bit awkward. We stare at each other for a while and I could see the red tint on her cheek, she tucked her lips in trying to surpress a blush and it reminded me of Thea, the times she did that. "You're smiling." Lola says breaking the silence and bringing me back to reality. "I'm I?" "Mmhmm...." She hums and I chuckle. I had been thinking about Thea and enjoying the feeling that I didn't realize it had translated to a smile. "You always appear too serious. I only see your playful sid
TheaI stared at myself in the mirror trying to love the dress I was wearing. I was still critical about it. I bet the sales associate was exhausted already. I was indecisive of the particular what clothes to choose. My mind wandered to Angel and I was curious to know how his meeting went. I hoped Lola had something that could be of help to him. I also couldn't help the thoughts that flashed through my mind. What if she had tried to kiss him just like she did before or done something inappropriate. I frowned, cursing within me. "Did my comment offend you? I didn't mean it that way. I'm so sorry." I was taken back to reality by the lady apologizing. "Ah! No, I was just thinking of something else. It wasn't you." I said feeling uneasy. "Ah... I get. We can try somethings else then. It would have been better if you had something in particular you were searching for.""I don't. I'm just shopping randomly." She nods and picks out another dress, it was a sheer, crystal gown. The eres wa
Carl couldn't muster the courage to go back to Florentine's room that day, he was already livid that the girls had caught him by her door so he didn't want to take any chances. During the weekend games he found himself unable to take his eyes off her, especially with the way she was dressed that day. Her attire accentuated her features more, she looked a lot younger than what her usual style made her be. She let her hair fall and it was beautiful, having a loose wave to it. She just looked different and better. He really couldn't concentrate on the game and it wasn't just because of the way she looked that day. Ever since that night he had harrassed her, his mind was never at ease and like karma, he began to see her at every corner he turned to. Almost like he was being reminded that he was yet to give a proper apology to her. Today, he decided to meet her by every means possible. He wasn't going to let anything distract him so he came to her room once again. He landed a knock on
They walked in silence untill Florentine decided to break it. "How old are you?" She blurted. "Thirty two." Carl answered and her heart dipped. She swallowed hard. A decade gap shouldn't be of much concern. What in heavens was she even thinking? She yelled within. No, this was bad. She should have been fifteen years older, that way the difference would seem outrageous. "I'm forty one.""I wasn't going to ask and you didn't need to tell me just because you asked my age.""Well, I just did." "You could pass off as someone in her thirties. You just have a more mature behavior. You mother everyone, so it can't be helped." "I'll say you flatter about the thirty stuff.""Late thirties." He said feeling amused. "That's a cruel joke." They both laugh and silence followed. She couldn't believe she just laughed.They arrive at the tennis court and go to sit there. She rubs her shoulder feeling chills from the night's cold. "You should have gotten something thicker." She looked at him gl
TheaA day had been agreed upon for us to go to the club, I was excited as well as the girls. I could sense Angel's reluctance in letting us go, I knew his reasons were to protect us but for how long? No one knew what would happen during the operation against Sparrow, I hoped nothing bad happened to the men but none of us could wait till they returned from the operation to have some fun. It was overdue and there would be guards protecting us so no one needed to worry. We had taken a day out to go shopping for club wears and nothing excited me more at this time. It was going to be my first outing with the girls. "Here, lets take a picture." Cassandra said bringing out her phone. Camila and I perched beside her as she raised her phone for a selfie. We had each pair of clothes we were supposed to try on hanging on our chest as we posed for the pictures."Alright, take a picture of Camila and I." I said dragging camila by the hand to pose at a better background. Cassandra huffed and sh
