We got into our car, and Alex looked at me.
"What?". "Blu I'm scared of you, no literally I am". I gave out a short laughter. "What? how what did I do?". "This... whole new personality is crazy honestly, I don't even know what to say" "You don't like it?", I asked. "No, that's not it, of course I do, I mean I am, so proud of this person you are, I would never have imagined even in a Hundred years that I'll meet this version of you, it's so... so amazing I'm so proud of you Blu, I really really am", he said. I smiled. "I owe a good part of it to you", I said. Was it me or was Alex becoming really attractive of recent? his eyes, it was so bright and pretty and... oh my God no no no this is wrong. He brushed my hair off my face. "You're really pretty Blu, if I ever forgot to mention, just know that you are", he said. This... this thing happening right now was giving me anxiety. Alex isn't looking at me right now like how he use to, it wasn't plain and friendly... it was Lust filled, like how I use to stare at Damon. I smiled, "I'm really really tired, can we go home now?", I asked. He nodded slowly and then started the engine. Almost immediately, police vehicles pulled up in front of the hotel. "The news I'll be out soon", Alex said . I nodded, "Just what I want", I said and we drove away. DAMON * * The door opened and Blu and Alex walked in holding hands and laughing about something I didn't give a shit about. I think it fueled my anger. "Where have you two been?"I asked. "What are you doing in my house?" Blu asked back with her smile dying off. "Well news came to me minutes ago that Aladdin was assassinated in a hotel in town a night to his festival", I said. She shrugged, "Great news ", she said dropping her bag on the couch and sitting down. Alex had two briefcases in his hands. "Is that a cut on you? where did you get that?", I asked Alex. "Injuries happen everyday Damon", he said in a None of my business tone. He opener the two briefcases. "Jessie come count this money, let's be sure it's actually it ", I said. "Where the fuck did you get that amount of cash?", I asked getting really really worried. "Damon you've been asking a lot of questions ", Alex said. Jessie came in with her money counting machine. "Because I don't get what the fuck is going on ", I said trying not to loose my temper. "We got it from Aladdin ", Blu said lighting a cigarette, "Right before I killed him", she finalized. "What?", Tobi asked shocked coming from the kitchen. "You mean to tell me you took down Aladdin and those men he was with? that murder was epic, the police said no trace left, a clean job", he said stuffing his face with bacon. "Alex helped", she said. I was staring at her. "Blu that was fucken dangerous and unprofessional, Alex the fuck? you had hands in this and you didn't tell me?", I was loosing my shit. How close are these people to the point of going on assassinationa together without letting me know??? "Damon don't start", Blu said taking off her shoes. "No Blu you don't get this shit, you went on a very dangerous mission with only Alex, my brother, do you know how careless in irresponsible that was?? do you know you could have gotten my brother killed? do you know you could have been killed? do you know these people you're messing with? the police is on this, they're going to check Cameras and and-" "Damon ", she said calmly shutting me up. "Go and ask around who Queen of Mafia is, no one knows my fucken face because anyone who sees me dies, I have a clean record for over 200 clean assassination with no trace left. The hotel that Aladdin booked is mine, I own that place I basically have every connection in it so nothing happens in there without me knowing. I was the one who called the police to come check things out because I wanted the news to go out. I could have told them to burn their bodies but I didn't. I have everything under control Damon, and if you can't deal with the fact that I'm a fucken goddess in this kingdom them fuck off", she said and put her cigarettes back in her mouth. "It's $230 million", Jessie said. "Damn it, that mother fucker double crossed me, should have pulled his heart out ", she mumbled. "Pack it up and put it in the safe Jessie, and tighten the security around here, we might start having unwanted guests soon", she said and headed upstairs I turned to Alex, "Alex imagine if you had died today? what were you thinking going there with just you?? imagine -" "Blu seemed to have everything under control, I trusted her enough for that ", I said. "And what if things didn't go as planned? you were going to die trying to help her?". He shrugged, "That's what friends are for ". I groaned, "Alex do not ever go on dangerous missions without letting me know ". "And what if don't?" "You don't get it Alex, I'm trying to protect you and that's it, Blu is taking this her revenge mission too far and she's dragging you into this, you could actually get killed!". "Are you sure that's what the problem is Damon? or is it that you have a problem with me going with Blu". "That's not it Ale-" "It seems so, because if I remember correctly you said you have to protect Blu at all cost, and now you're saying she's doing dangerous stuffs and I'm going to get hurt, what exactly do you want Damon? for fuck sake kill your damn pride and fix things with Blu and stop making it look like I'm the enemy, because I'm not, you are , and she will continue to hate you for that until you accept that you've fucked up and try to make things right, being overprotective won't fix it".IVY***Tobi invited me to his birthday on this boat cruise. We were sailing towards the island where the real party was happening and unfortunately, I guess I came in pretty early.So it was just the boys, and I. Jessie was supposed to come later with our boat, but she got sick, and so she was going to send my clothes and other stuff in the boat."Tobi Hastings is a year older", I said smiling when I saw him."And you're a year shorter", he said hugging me and ruffling my hair.The island was beautiful; it had a wooden Cabin and was surrounded by lots of coconut trees.I turned to Alex and smiled."You look happy, that's good", he said hugging me."I had a good week, I guess, plus I do need this vacation", I said, smiling."It's not a vacation; it's just two days," Jeremy said, coming from inside."Two days away from my house is a vacation to me," I said, giggling.My good mood suddenly waded as Damon came into view."Whose boat is that?" Alex asked, facing the water.""Oh, that's
Alex came back later that night with Tobi and Jessie.Immediately they alighted on the shore, and Jessie ran to hug me."Oh, okay that's weird", I mumbled."I'm sorry, I just thought you died, Blu; I thought they got to you first", she said, visibly shaking." Do you have any idea who I am? Jessie, they can't get to me ".I turned to Alex, "What's going on?"."It's Feud; he's on to you, he knows that we know who you are, and he got some intel that you will be attending Tobi's birthday, so I think they thought you were on the boat, so they paid the people are the harbor to plant a bomb there.""Hope they're not breathing?", I asked."Not when I'm here", Jessie said.I nodded and asked Alex to continue, "We had to act smart, pretend like you were killed and all, we even went to your house to create a scene like something happened to you, and that's when we got Jessie, So the sailor's body has been removed from the water, we made it look like it was yours.Now there's a Mafia meeting hap
"Bullshit," I mumbled, standing up. "Blu I'm serious". "I don't want to hear any of it, gosh Damon do you think lying to me is going to fix any of this?". "Blu I am not lying to you". I rolled my eyes. "Blu I have anxiety issues, or I had, I don't know, but I have... I get ...I get serious anxiety when I'm around you, even before now, I swear I freeze when I'm around you... and I planned how I was going to do the right thing and fix whatever issue we had but then ... you were so different, so so different, I didn't even know who you were. I froze again; I begged my legs to move, I begged my lips to open, but .. I... I-" "Damon, you're not making any sense at all whatsoever. You know that, right? You freeze when you see me? fine this year makes sense, 5 years ago? ten years ago? when I was nothing but a nerdy freak who could barely articulate words???" This man is pissing me off. "I was in love with that nerdy girl ", he said calmly. I was silent for a moment and then
..."There was you, you looked so normal despite loosing your siblings, your mom, you actually looked perfect, and somehow staring at you everyday gives me this... calmness inside, this peace, you were my peace. You made those trauma's go away. The little efforts you put, I saw them, I saw them all but I was a coward to man up and told you that I loved you too because somehow your naivety made me freeze, everytime I saw you my heart would skip a beat and, and the way you would look at me, it would be like you were seeing right through me and I would get scared, so so scared I'll have to look for a defense to cover it up by pushing you away. Now I think about it, that was so wrong, so so wrong. I never saw you as flawed in any way because you knew you had your flaws and you brought them out and you embraced them, all of them, something I could never, that was one bold move Blu, something my coward ass could never do.And that day, at prom, I had an anxiety attack earlier because I saw
A WEEK LATER * * After everything that happened on that island, Damon's acting like he doesn't know I exist. I'm so confused, was it a dream? was he just toying with me? or did he just want to use that to get to me. "Are you okay Blu?", Alex asked as we got into my car. "No" "I noticed, I mean ever since you came back from the island you've not been okay, even Damon, he's been avoiding everyone", he said. I swallowed hard. "What happened in that island Blu?". My brain suddenly began to replay memories, awful memories, memories that I enjoyed, I yearned for and I loved, but now it's like a stab on the chest. "Ask your brother", I said and we zoomed off. Minutes later we arrived in front of a mansion with dozens of security. Alex and Jessie got down first and then I did. They all pointed their guns at us. I scoffed, "Tell Feud that a friend is here to see him", Jessie said. Another car pulled up behind us, it was Tobi and Jerry. "I thought you guys weren't
I was seated among all of them, I knew all of them in details the color of their underwear. I knew everyone here, but none of them knew me. They stared, talked in hush tones and wondered who I was. This was the black ball, the society's annual ball, eat drink, socialize, gather allies, and kill an enemy or two. Everyone always ended with one drama or another but this time around things were going to be about me. The Hastings brothers and I weren't supposed to have any direct contact tonight because every eye will be watching us, and I don't want to implicate them any further, but Damon was supposed to be here, he was supposed to come with me to this ball, we discussed it before when we were on the island, now he's disappeared and ghosted me after everything. Alex walked up to me and bowed and handed me a glass smiling. I smiled back, "Where's Damon?", I asked through the smile. "He said he's not coming". "How the fuck is this plan suppose to work if he's not here?" "I don't kn
Few seconds later, guns where everywhere, pointed at me.Alex and Tobi immediately got their guns out and went to stand beside me.This is where I wished Damon was here."You're not getting out of here alive", Lucian said."Stop, everybody stop, put the guns down, we're not ending this ball in a bloody war", one elderly man said from the crowd."Actually, I'd like to see them try", I said."Miss Blu, please apologize to Mr Lucian and let's all put this aside ",he said again.I laughed out, loudly, "Do you have any idea who I am?", I asked."Let me do a little display of my power ", I said.I turned to all the men around pointing their guns at me"Switch ", I commanded.They immediately turned their guns to Lucian, everyone gasped in shock."What? why are you pointing your gun at me? I'm your commander, fire her", he screamed."Unfortunately, they only take orders from their original boss, me", I said.I think Lucian got the message, loud and clear.He began to quiver.*Now let's have
FLASH BACK * * I yawned tiredly as I rolled off the bed, I opened the window and allowed the cool ocean breeze envelope me, this site was beautiful, too beautiful. I got out of the room and walked out of the cabin, something delicious caught my nose and I followed it to the back of the cabin. Damon was making grilled fish- shirtless! He was backing me, so I took time to admire his physique. Let's keep the fact that I've hated him most of my life aside, this guy is extremely sexy. He had this tattoo of a lion's head on his back, very sexy muscles and a cute butt shape. He turned around and saw me staring at me. He let out a very charming smile. "Hi Blu", he said. "Hey". "How did you sleep?", he asked. I nodded, for some reason I had lost my voice. I was just staring at him. "Why are you staring at me like that?", he asked. Because you're so hot. "Nothing, what are you making?", I asked. "Well I'm making ribs steak", he said "You can cook that well?
