25. TELL ME YOU'RE JOKING?
It feels as though everyone around me lately uses glasses. This is kinda funny because I'm not usually observant of these things. It's so old-fashioned so I don't get why they still do when they could easily get contact lenses.
It's her. She's the reason why.
Walter steps aside while I climb down the car. It's his glasses that amuse me so much. The guy couldn't even pick a better frame. He settled for round lenses that make him look more like a teenager than a fucking grown-ass man that kicked my ass since I was little.
That's why it's so funny.
We move to the entrance and go straight to the elevator.
"You know, if you're going to stick around, you're going to have to use lines, Wally. I'mma has to change you for Miss Dinah." I say to him as we approach the elevator. We are at the chairman's condo where he's decided to be the venue for our meeting today. "I'll l

I do not say a thing.Walter's gaze is fixed on me and I catch it. I read the message in his eyes. He wants me to play it cool.But not this time. Nope. No."Grandpa, I am the director of the group. That's all I have. You can't be taking that away from me to hand to Lucas. He has a lot on his hands. How is he supposed to even juggle all of that?""Well, he's proved to be a better manager than you are. He has his life on track and looks, he's getting engaged in a week. Talk about the perfect fit for everything.""Lucas can hold our other fronts while I handle here. I mean, he just got back from Sydney." I pause before I say, "This is about the date, right? I told you she didn't fucking like me. How is that supposed to be my fault? How am I to make someone who doesn't like me, like me?"What I reported back to grandpa after I got off the date with D
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 27. A PEEP OF SOPH
An old classmate hosted this in-house night party to celebrate her birthday.One would expect that being adults, everyone will be prim and proper.Ha.It was basically like the parties we had during our high school days. Neon lights. Buzz. Coke. Hormone-addled teenagers -in this case, grown-ass adults- sucking each other's faces and fucking in corners and the toilets. As well as loud gangster and sex music.No difference. At all.Except maybe, for the little semblance of sanity that the group of men at the poolside seem to exude. They have gathered around, talking probably about basketball or some other shit.Other than that, I'm sure Tina, the birthday girl, will take one devastating look and marvel at the fucking orgy her party has become.But I'm not complaining. I'm here for all the buzz.I have
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 28. I'M SO SORRY
It was a Monday morning like I'd never had.As much as working with a top hospital had its perks, there are downsides as well. One of which is me being bloody numb and unable to feel my fingers.I've had a morning filled with the flipping of papers and looking into different scans while attending to outpatients. Now that it's lunch, I'm too lazy to go to the cafeteria to go eat, even though my stomach is rumbling in opposition to my lethargy. I do not mind it though.I still make my way to the bunk room, which is closer than the cafeteria, and throw myself on one of the beds, after taking off my coat. I'm thankful the lower part is not occupied.In fact, the entire room is empty and I suppose everyone else is having lunch or maybe they are engaged. The room smells faintly of an uneven mix of antiseptics and detergents. Perhaps, the cleaners were here not long ago.I pull out my p
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 29. IT WAS THAT MATHEWS
Kathy is a psycho. I wonder how she manages her craze and is a popular figure. For someone that's usually in a lot of people's faces, she is rather too crazy. And yeah, she is my girlfriend, to whom I'll be engaged, come Friday. I step out of my Porsche cayenne hurriedly and make my way through the entrance. Ignoring everyone's greeting and responses to my arrival, which are mostly shock and fear, and make my way to the elevator. The wait in the elevator makes me jittery and I'm thankful that I do not have to share it with anyone. When it got to the 13th floor, where the cafeteria is, I stepped out as the iron doors open up before me. There's the cafeteria and a store on this floor if I'm correct. I make my way into the Cafe, still ignoring people's looks. I'm trying to be calm but Kathy wants to be the end of me. As much as I fight it, she might just succeed if I do not make it on time to the cafeteria. Of all places, she chose the eating section of the hospital, where all
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 30. PREPARE TO BE ARRESTED
It took a lot more than the usual men at the white prison to hold me back this time. About ten to fifteen or thereabouts but I handled it fine and I made my way into the room my mother was kept in. Unfortunately, I only got to hold her stiff thin hands for a while, as I watched her sleep. The nurse that stood at the door quickly bailed once she saw me, probably running to go call for help against the hunk of a man advancing towards her.I must have scared her away but it was good. Gave me enough space to be with my mom.The heartbeat monitor showed that she was stable and finally, the bits of my heart that were scattered were pieced back together by hope.Sadly, I soon had to go."Boss, there's no time. We have to go." Walter had said, coming into the room. I had left him outside battling the security men while I made my way inside, dealing with obstructions on my path myself. "If they are reinforced, we'll not be able to do a thing. Let's go. She will be fine." He added.And so, afte
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 31. AN AWFUL COMBINATION
Of all people, Joan is not the one I want to be intervening in my case.To think I was trying to not run into her. Now, I'm caught up in this mess and she's here.My panic and rush were all for nothing."What are you doing here? This is absolutely none of your business so just go away." I murmur to the side, where she stood. She has no right to come to my aid. This is my matter and I can handle it myself.But the annoying woman remains standing, her gaze anywhere but mine. I can see amusement in her eyes as if she knows that I was trying to avoid her when I got myself into this mess. Just before I say another word, Brian, the first colleague I related with as soon as I got here this morning, came to stand next to us."I'm sorry Mr. Halloway" he began with a bow of his head. "She's new and she's my junior. I should have thought her well."Brian took a na
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 32. ABETTING THEFT AND ASSAULT
Morning crawled upon me silently.All night, I was in the theater and only made my way out only at one am.A young man was brought to the hospital in an ambulance. He was a victim of a drunk driver's reckless driving and he had to go into surgery immediately because he had his gut opened and his blood was staining the floors of the emergency room.I was scared. Claire informed me that there was no doctor around that could attend to him right away."What do you mean? Surely there must be a surgeon on call." I yelled when I came into the room."There is none. We believe he has an internal organ ruptured and if we don't wheel him inside right now, we might lose him."The man was groaning out loud in pain and James, one of the attending doctors was already cutting his clothes in half with a pair of scissors. Somehow, I wondered how his consciousness hadn't
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 33. PROBABLY NOT LEO
He came for me.There's a gut feeling within me. It is him. It's Leo.Each of the officers by my side looks at me. They have suspicion written all over their face with every distance this biker accelerating towards us covers.With a shrug, I shook my head at their glare, to tell them that I do not know anything about what was happening.They do not believe me. Because they are pinning me against the back seat in the next second and asking, "who is that guy? Where is the fucking paper?"I wasn't going to believe anything Leo ever said to me.But maybe he's right. Even if I don't want to believe him, maybe he's still right. Because I mean, he's a thief and would know better since he must have encountered and escaped a lot of police officers.On this one though, I have to turn around my resolve and believe him. It's true.
