"You know you can come sit down, I'm not going to bite you" Matteo muttered, trying to lighten up the mood, he could see the fear and doubt in Nate's eyes.At first when he saw him, he almost didn't recognize the kid, with all the bruises on his face.Who would do something like this to him? the kid didn't seem like a trouble maker so he doubted it was from a fight.This looked more like a beating than a fight.He could see now why Spade looked so down casted yesterday after returning from Nate's place.Nate could feel the nerves in his body kick in as he felt the sweat already forming on his forehead and his palm, he didn't mean to be so withdrawn but with everything going on with him, it was all just so overwhelming.Taking slow steps, he walked towards the chair where Matteo was seated, his steps having a limp gait to it, he was still feeling pain on his side, but he was trying not to show it He stopped in front of the couch and gently perched himself at the edge, this was his hou
Both men sat on opposite sides of the table, both of them holding a glass of whiskey each as they schemed and planned.One's inner plan was far more bigger than the other, while the other was just out for revenge and a little bit of fun."Has he come yet"? The younger of both men wheezed out, his voice coming out way different than a person's voice should sound, he sounded like an old engine, that was almost dying Greg shook his head as he watched the strange looking man in front of him, he always wondered how he'd lived this long with such a hideous face, scars adorned his face and one of his eyes was almost completely damaged, but he still always managed to look dangerous and scary."Not yet and the 48 hours he gave me elapsed two days ago" he muttered scratching his beards as he twirled the whiskey in his cup, watching it move from side to side.The scarier one out of the two nodded and smacked his lips."Don't let your guard down, he's gonna come when you least expect it" he mutt
NathanStanding in front of the conference room, I mentally prepared myself for what I'd meet on the other side of the double doors that stared back at me.For the millionth time I let out a deep breath, feeling my palms sweaty and my heart beating fast, I closed and opened my eyes for more than five times.It's gonna be okay, I kept chanting to myself.There's gonna be people there, not just the both of us, but my mind would still drift to his side.I wished I could just turn around and high tail out of here but I can't, I can't leave just like that, sooner or later I have to face him, and if there's one thing I've learnt over time, is that sooner is better than later.Throwing caution to the wind, I pushed the doors gently and stepped inside, even without seeing him, I could already feel the air in the conference room shift, everything became cooler and more intense.I discreetly let out a deep breath as my eyes moved up and scanned the room, seeing the familiar faces of the men I'd
Spade stared at him, drinking in his facial features, the bruises on his face were already fading, they weren't as obvious as they were about a week ago, even his steps weren't a limp like the last time he saw him.If he thought he was nervous before seeing Nate, he was damn wrong, he was more nervous and jittery after seeing him.He couldn't even look away from him during the meeting, he's never been so open about wanting someone so bad but with Nate it's not like he was doing it on purpose, it was happening on it's own.And it was slowly driving him crazy.Him giving Nate two weeks and complete and total control of the resources he needed today wasn't because he was okay risking that much money, but because he wanted the meeting to be done with so he could talk to him.And now he had that opportunity staring at him in the face, but he didn't even know what to say.The great Spade, the devil himself, didn't know what to say, losing his nerves in front of someone, his inner self was m
SpadeI kept going after stacks and stacks of paper as my eyes were already feeling heavy on their own, like my lids were carrying a heavy weight that prevented them from staying open on their own.I ran a tired hand down my face as I tried to clear the heaviness in my eyes, I let out a deep breath as I tried to make sense of the paper in front of me.I could feel the tiredness in my bones, everything ached in my body but I couldn't go to sleep, not because I didn't want to but because I couldn't.I was here working non stop, not because I needed to but because I had to, I couldn't bring myself to fall asleep, for fear of overthinking everything.I had never been one to overthink things but recently I found myself doing that a lot, and it was kind of affecting me.I shut my eyes, feeling my head ache with a strong pain, it felt like a rope was tied around my head and being pulled in so many direction.All this thoughts was because of one person.Small pale hands, pink perfect lips, br
Spade parked his car outside his warehouse, it had been a while he had been here, since the whole Nate issue and the marriage contract, he seemed to be too occupied to even come check on the warehouse, thank God he had Matteo and a few other trusted men here that were keeping an eye on things for him.He stepped out of the car and walked towards the metallic doors, pulling it open he stepped inside the cold warehouse, facing a flight of stairs that led down to where all operations were being carried out, he took the stairs, walking down with power and confidence.He reached the end of the stairs and pulled open the metal door, making a loud creaking sound, he stepped inside the huge room.It was not crowded today with too much of his men, there was a round table in one corner of the room as men gathered around playing cards and cheering, on another part of the room was another table, some of his men were there with guns, cleaning and arranging them.He stalked by the men on each table
Nate stepped out of the bedroom, his hair dripping with water, slowly wetting the grey tank top he was putting on, he had on black sweatpants as he walked towards the couch"Sorry I took so long" he apologized taking a seat on the couch just beside Matteo "I decided to take a shower" he muttered nervously as Matteo just smiled and waved it away"It's okay" he muttered his eyes trained on Nate, the kid was fiddling with his fingers on his thighs, Matteo could feel the nervousness oozing out of him, drinking in his facial features, his hair was dark brownish, like evening wet dust, with his pale face adorned with small dark spots and his lips, those almost invincible skin that rested on his face, his brown eyes looking away and around the roomMatteo could understand why Spade found him interesting, he could see how the kid was able to catch Spade's attention this much.With the amount of innocence he radiated, it was easy to catch anyone's attention.The fact that he was clueless to al
Getting to the huge building of the event, Nate stopped his car and looked out the window, what he hated most about things like this, were the many people always present, he sighed out, flexing his fingers on the steering before he pulled out his car keys from ignition, took his phone and stepped out of the car His eyes raked through the red carpet and they were all busy taking pictures, while the media asked unnecessary questions as always, he fixed his tux and took long strides towards the entrance of the building, avoiding the flashes of the cameras, he passed through the many people on the red carpet all making different noises and chattering.He pushed the double glass doors and stepped into the huge hall, his eyes moving from the beginning to the end of the hall, his eyes moved up to the huge golden glass decorated chandelier hanging up in the ceiling, round tables with chairs surrounding them with beautiful decorations filled the hall, this wasn't like the usual events he atte
