"Aah c’mon…, you guys make out or something? What took you so long?" Laurene asked and a shocked look crept up on my face."What? Why would we do that?" I asked and Laurene sighed."Oh, it seems like I guessed wrong..." she muttered. What the hell, what did she have in mind about Vito and me? Were we that obvious?"C’mon, don't make that face, I see the way he looks at you and acts all mushy around you. I hardly ever see him that way, you know, but sincerely speaking now, Vito isn't the type to hold back on his feelings so I assumed he might have said something to you already" Laurene explained. Listening to her explain, I didn't know how to react other than being a little bit embarrassed and a blushing mess. Why did she have to make me remember Vito’s confession? it played repeatedly in my head far too much and it happened when I least expected it to.And at that moment that was all I could think of, I still remember his subtle looks and how careful he seemed while picking his words

"Dumb asses, I bet they didn't know this was here” She grinned as we both walked in and all I could do was feed my eyes because this was new to me. I could also bet my room back at my father’s house could fit in here. I saw her open one of the wider drawers and pull out a big bag with a silver combo lock hanging off of it.“Just where I expected it to be.” She stated "Yeah…that’s it, let's…" She started but froze and put a finger to her lips, pointing her other finger to her ear, signaling if I had heard anything. Listening closely, the sound of a car door being shut filled my ears and I slowly nodded."C'mon, we can go up to the attic" She whispered before guiding me to the hall. Quickly pulling it down, she ushered me up the steps before going up herself and pulling the stairs back up.Though faintly, we could now hear the men's voices as they entered the house, talking loudly. "...they have to be somewhere around," One of them said, his voice scratchy and annoying. He most likel
Shadow Heiress Chapter 41 - Heartbeats and Handshakes
‘How to know if you like someone'I stared down at the search results of the article on my phone with weariness, there was no way I was this down-bad, and besides I knew it wasn't always good to believe what you read on the Internet but right now it was my only source of confirmation. It would be so awkward to ask someone although I considered asking Laurene but nah…'Your heart rate may increase when you are around them’‘You might feel butterflies in your stomach or nervousness’‘Your body language may change such as fidgeting or blushing’So that's what those feelings were? I placed my hands on my cheeks remembering all the times it felt whenever Vito was around me. He did make me feel nervous at times and I did blush a lot.‘You find yourself thinking about them frequently, even when you are busy’'You also may start to notice the little things they do and you can't help but think it's endearing’Well, I don't know if his whining while struggling to jump rope was something I found
Shadow Heiress Chapter 42 - Unleashed
Still seated on his bed, I scooted a lot closer to Vito and since he was way taller, this man was a giant, I was barely over 5 '5 and I was pretty certain he was way over 6' 0 ft. Leaning in, I could feel his breath on my face and even if they were only touching, my lips were all tingly and hot and I was so sure Vito could also hear my heartbeat because it felt like it was going to pop out anytime soon. This was supposed to happen right?Letting my lips linger on Vitos’ for a few more seconds, I finally pulled away and I could feel how hot my cheeks were. Vito eventually opened his eyes and I looked away almost immediately because I couldn't meet his eyes and still wasn't sure how he would react just yet.Feeling his eyes on me waiting for an explanation, I felt myself redden more.“I…since that day, I keep thinking about what you told me…it never fails to keep me up at night and most times the first thing that pops up in my head when I wake…” I trailed offThis has to mean I like h
Shadow Heiress Chapter 43 - Sixth Sense
Arriving at my new job in the hospital, well temporarily, I was all dressed up in my uniform that I didn't know how Laurene got. Sitting in the tiny room I let out a sigh, It was hot here even with all the hospital's air conditioning, and my nose burned from all the chemicals I had inhaled. Vegas’s appointment was later on in the day but I had to resume so early.Getting out of the house was a struggle this morning because of Vito, It's been three days only but I feel he's been trying to hold back on being too clingy but this morning was an absolute failure.^^Flashback^^"Vito, you have to wake up…the guys can't see you coming out of my room this early,” I said as I tried to shake him awake but he didn't seem to budge as he snored gently.Sighing, I turned to walk away and continued"You can't keep coming to sleep in here, how would the guys react to this besides I have to go to work now," I whined awayBut was caught off guard as he grabbed me by the hand and pulled me down onto the

Still out with nothing much to do, I picked up my phone and placed a call to Vito. The phone rang for a while but he didn't pick up so I just concluded he was busy but as I was about to put the phone down, the phone began ringing and checking the caller ID it was Vito so I quickly picked it up but was greeted with shouting in the background.“...can't do this anymore… I don’t want to go anymore! y'all know I’m scared of needles, what if they stick one up my ass?!" My eyes widened at the question, the voice sounding very much like Vegas."Oh please…what are you? Nine? Why would you think that…like why would a needle be put in your ass you idiot?" another voice, Pete asked"It's very possible!" Vegas cried. "Ermm…Hello...Is he Okay…?" I trailed and Vito sighed"Bab…Junie…sorry just ignore him, he's been throwing tantrums about the whole thing. Have you been able to find anything?" Vito asked and I shook my head like he was seeing me and smiled because he almost slipped in front of the
Shadow Heiress Chapter 45 - Persistent Pursuit
“Hey miss…What are you doing here” the voice asked but I stood still because the voice seemed so familiar.Turning to face the person who spoke, I already knew it was him.That weird doctor.I glared at him as he walked towards me and stopped right in front of me, eyeing me from head to toe before backing away."I knew you looked new and different. Who are you?" He asked. There was no way I could put my mission at risk by talking to this guy so I concluded on ignoring him.Keeping my phone back in my pocket, I stepped to the side so I could walk away but Antoine didn't seem like he was going to let me leave"C’mon, don’t do that…'' he started and grabbed my hand. On instinct, I used my other hand to elbow his stomach before pushing him away from me.“If you touch me again, I’ll kill you” I stated angrily, glaring at him so he got the message clear and direct. I wasn't sure what his purpose was or what he was getting at but I had to be on my guard right now."Chill, I’m not going to hu
Shadow Heiress Chapter 46 - Red Flags
^^VITO’S POV^^Waking up with a start, I had expected to be alone by this time because Juno might have woken up but to my surprise, she was still cuddled up in my arms, sleeping soundly. I didn't plan to sleep here, I remember sitting in the living room, waiting for her to get home from work but instead received a message from her saying she wanted to stay back for a while, so I felt it would be better if I stayed in her room and waited. But instead, I slept off. Taking a glance at the clock on the stand, although the moon was still evident illuminating the room, it was almost time for Juno to wake up. Taking in her features, I admired her long lashes, and her gentle face as she snoozed away. Despite all the changes made to her for this new mission, I could still see her old self right there, like back when we first met, I remembered finding her too graceful for a boy. Thinking back now, seeing Juno and Dion, the differences were glaring. For starters, the face, the eyes, Juno alw
