Thea The red dress it was, my bare neck adorned with a fine diamond necklace, the perfect shades to my face, I must confess Cassie was a brilliant make up artist. My heels clicked as I walked side to side with Angel through the hall. Arms in arms, a racing breath, a brave smile to my lips and a sinfully handsome man as my date.I had imagined this day countless times in my head, meeting Lola, running into Sparrow and a number of new faces sorrounded by dangerous aura's. It was a bit overwhelming now being here in present. The party hosted by Don Ricardo and here I was presumably his daughters rival for a man's attention tonight.Bright lights illuminated the vast hall, the smell of rich cologne filled the air making me understand what Calibre of people I was in their midst. Not very new but definitely different because they were all members of the mafia."Angel!" We both turned towards the direction of the caller, I knew him, this man was Don Antonio from the night at the Casino. H
AngelWe were ushered into an underground room, where the meeting was to take place. Guards sorrounded the place securring it.It was our annual meeting, where we got to discuss the peace, alliance and progress of the mafia community. This ensured there was no displacement of the mafia in the area we resided. This union strengthened us against the government and made it possible for every cartel to conduct their business without war breaking out at every point in time.We surely did suffer differences, misunderstandings and fights amongst each other but the council was there to regulate extremeties. I stepped into the room along with the others, my eyes scanned the place and it fell on my seat which had my name written on it. I made to move forward but someone suddenly came in front of me. I halted, shutting my eyes briefly before releasing them to look at Sparrow who grinned at me exposing his missing tooth. He wore a hat and had a stick of cigratte between his teeth that was yet
AngelI tried with everything within me to keep my anger in check because I swear I was ready to tear Sparrow from limb to limb and I wish my dogs were near so I could feed his bones to them. I moved carelessly through the crowd, hitting some persons along the line. I didn't bother to apologize, I was more interested in satiating my anger.Thea was still dancing with him and he was seizing every opportunity to feel her curves.When I had gotten near to flipping him to face me, I caught Thea's eyes. She startled and pulled away from Sparrow. She looked very scared but what did she expect? That I'd be happy she was dancing with him? Sparrow on the other hand had turned to the direction she was looking at and we caught each other's gaze. The brief smirk on his face soon disappeared as my fist almost came very close to his face only that I was seeing Thea's face now.Murmurs echoed around us as people took notice of us. My fist hung in the air and my body vibrated more in anger. "What
Thea I tried to wait patiently for Angel but the time seemed retarded. It was a painful wait and there was nothing I could talk about with Knight. I sipped the drink in my hand scanning the hall as if searching for Angel amongst the people. "Do we get cocktail hours here?" I asked trying to break the awkward silence between us. Even though I preferred knight to having Caspian guard me, he was too stiff for a proper discussion. "Maybe... Somewhere at the elevation." He said and I gulped my wine this time. I let out a nervous breath and began thinking quick on what else to say. "How much longer do I have to wait?" "Not very long. Don Ricardo still needs to be with his non mafia guests." Knight said and I snapped my head in his direction. There were non mafia guests here and I felt so intimidated. "There are?" "Business partners...." "Oh...." I muttered and gulped the rest of my drink. "I need to move." I said and he furrowed a brow at me. "It's suffocating staying at a place,
TheaMy eyes darted from side to side recalling the night at the strip club where he gave me an offer to be with him instead of Angel. Sparrow raised me up, pressing me against his body very closely. I looked away catching the bothered eyes of the guard. I shook my head disapproving him to come any closer. If Angel were to catch Sparrow and I dancing, we all would be in trouble.I forced my self to look at Sparrow while holding my breath intermittently.I decided to act like I didn't know what he was talking about."What offer?" I asked and he scoffed at my response ridiculing my pretense. I shoved a mould down my throat hoping to ease my nerves that were disturbed."Lets not act like you've forgotten now Thea." He said trying to sound calm but I could hear the annoyance in his voice. He was searching my eyes in an intimidating manner."I have no idea what you're saying." I continued and his face contorted coldly making me shiver in fear. Could I handle him if he was pissed off?He s
TheaI hoped Angel would understand why I had to dance with his rival, my soul had almost left me the moment I saw him walking up to us. I was scared that a serious fight would break out, a fight that could have been avoided if not for me. Sparrow had struck a nerve not just with me but with Angel. He knew what he was doing and obviously knew the time the meeting was going to end. I should have known better and insisted on ending the dance when I wanted to. He was calculative and that was why he needed the dance to go on longer so he could have Angel witness the sight. "Now...explain." Even though Angel's voice was low, it was firm and demanding that I felt chills over my body. I didn't want him to scold me more than he already did."It was an apology dance." I spilled just immediately. My lips quivered and my breath raced nervously. I managed a look into his eyes and he was trying to understand whatever I meant. "What do you mean by an apology dance?" He asked sounding pissed whi
AngelThea pulled out, suddenly breaking our hug. My instincts set in immediately clouding me with worry."What is it Thea?" "Lola is here."She said and her tone bothered me. If it was Lola why then did she sound scared? Her expression quickly adjusted to seem normal and I turned slowly to meet Lola's gaze. She had an uneasy smile plastered across her face but I gave her a quizzical gaze in return. Lola walked up to us slowly and I held Thea's hand pulling her close to me. Lola's eyes briefly glanced at out weaved hands and a hint of pain flickered in her eyes. "I'm sorry I startled you...." She apologized and I could feel Thea relax a bit. She nodded flashing a smile at Lola."No worries... The name's Thea." She said and the both exchanged smiles. Their eyes held their thoughts which I couldn't decipher but if I was to guess they were both feeling awkward."Nice to meet you Thea. Lola...." She said stretching forth a hand for a handshake which Thea took. Lola's gaze shifted to m
TheaI let angel dance with Lola even though I hated it. I didn't want to come off as insecure. I liked that he asked my permission but every now and then I took glances at them. What were they talking about? What could Angel be telling her to make her smile. I followed the movement of his hand on her waist and my chest constricted painfully. I was dying within me out of jealousy.Some men came up to me, and I engaged their chats but showed them off each time they asked to be more than friends. Now I was alone but I couldn't keep my eyes off Angel and Lola. She leaned in for a hug and he returned it. They were too close for my liking . My heart went bitter at the sight. It was painful to watch. After a while they broke the hug and I looked away as another man was now talking to me. I laughed at every tiny joke hoping Angel would see us and he did. I startled at the sound of my name from his possessive voice but I tried to play off cool. However, the gentleman in front of me looked
