Imagination was given to us to compensate for what we are not; a sense of humor was given to us to console us for what we are.~Mack McGinnisAnthony 'Bang! Bang! Bang!'A loud banging on my door pulled me out of my sleepy state.The loud banging on my door carried on."Damn it." I groaned trying to move and see who it was but couldn't because something was hindering my movement, I looked down and found Charlotte lying head on my chest with her arms around me and our legs tangled together, smiling I carefully unwrapped myself from her and got off the bed.'Bang! Bang! Bang!'The banging was heard again making me angrier than I already was for being forced to move out of the comfortable position I was in. I took long strides to the door and almost pulled it off its hinges when opening it."What!" I growled at a shocked Trevor. "Who gave you the fucking right to bang on my fucking door you imbicile!""I-I-I" he stuttered moving back."Use you fucking words idiot." I left the room and c
Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. ~Howard ThurmanCharlotte"Princess." I heard a faint voice groan."Princess are you awake?" it came again but I hid my face in something that smelt so good, I knew this scent, it was all too familiar but I just couldn't place who it was for some reason.I felt my mouth move and let out a sentence that probably never made sense."Are you complimenting me in your sleep." The voice laughed.I felt my mouth move again obviously replying but I couldn't understand myself."Is that so?" the voice let out a sexy chuckle."Kiss me." the words slipped out of my mouth and my eyes shot open with shock, I blinked furious comprehending what the hell I just said now that I was fully awake.Say something, save yourself"Princess." the voice called and my face flashed red when realization hit me hard, the voice belonged to no other than
I hated every minute of training, but I said, "Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion." ~Muhammad AliCharlotteRiley and I spent hours talking and laughing about different things, who knew we had so much in common."You are complaining about 1 brother when I've got 2 don't even get me started on my dad, uncle, grandfather, godfather, the list keeps going on and on." I laughed when she complained about her overprotective younger brother."So y'all are triplets?""Yep, and lucky for me, my mother decided to stop having kids making me, I'm the only female." I sighed dramatically."I can’t imagine how you feel.""It's got its advantages and disadvantages" I told her. "How do you say jackass in Spanish?"Riley was from Portugal but moved to London when she was 5. Just like me, she learnt Spanish so she could make her father happy. "Cabrón, why?""3..2..1" I counted down, as soon as I reached 0, Anthony walked into the room with Julio following behind."Hell
The time is always right to do what is right. ~Martin Luther KingCharlotteWalking to the front door with Anthony's arms wrapped around my waist, Kaleb opened the door revealing the lady I had helped a few days ago and her kids standing there."Hi!" I beamed wanting to hug them but Adriano pulled me back to him."Hello" they responded."What are you doing here?" I asked confused."You dropped this." The older boy retrieved my wallet from his pocket handing it to me."My wallet." I smiled "thank you so much."I smiled at the small black Prada wallet, I had completely forgotten about.” "You dropped your wallet." Adriano growled at me but I just ignored him."You are welcome, we would have brought it sooner but this place was quite hard to locate.” Their mother told me “Just be more careful.""I will." I smiled "Come on in." I offered having an urge to get to know more about her."Thank you but no." She shook her head."Come on, it's only for a few minutes." I told her."We really ha
Whatever else may be shaken, there are some facts established beyond warring: virtue is better than vice, truth is better than falsehood, kindness than brutality. ~Quintin HoggCharlotte"Anthony!" I called after him but he didn't bother looking back at me or stopping.I stared at his retreating figure till he disappeared down the hall and I sighed.'Now you've pissed him off' my subconscious reprimanded."But then again, it’s not like I was wrong-" I scoffed only to realize I was talking to myself.Huffing, I went back to the pool area to get my laptop but I didn't find it. I asked all the guards and staff if they had seen it and all of them gave me same answer, 'NO'I kept searching and searching till my mind drifted to that one human being who was most likely having it.'Anthony Santoro’Annoyed as to why he would walk out on me earlier and still have the guts to take my things, I marched to his room but it was empty so I went to the next possible place he could be, his office.Wh
Your world is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind.~Earl Nightingale Charlotte"I didn't know perverted females existed." Anthony spoke with his already deep husky voice become deeper and huskier making my insides clench."Huh?" I whispered to myself.Chuckling, he started coming closer and closer to me but with every step forward he took, I took one backwards, well at least until my back hit the kitchen island. In a flash, Anthony was in front of me and he placed his hands on either sides of the island trapping me."Look at me." He commanded and I couldn't help but do as told, my eyes averted and met his piercing blue orbs, I swear I felt like he was looking into my soul and him towering over my tiny figure wasn't helping at all, I felt so small and insignificant compared to him.He lowered his head until his breath was fanning my face. He pushed some strands of hair behind my ear and while at it, his cold hand grazed my skin. Immediately my eyes flutter
It doesn’t matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off. You cannot make progress without making decisions. ~Jim Rohn Anthony I hated chasing people, I hadn’t done so in the longest time, it made me feel like I was some toddler or dog playing fetch the stick, I didn’t want to chase her around but I needed to get the video Charlotte was talking about, I couldn’t have the people in the mafia world seeing it, they wouldn't see me the same again, hell they wouldn't even fear or give me respect like before and to make matters worse, my little brother, cousins and friends would taunt me for the rest of my life. Just the thought of being the laughing stock at every family gathering drove me insane and there was no way in hell I was going to let that happen.Focusing on catching Charlotte who I had to admit was a fast runner than I had perceived her to be, she slipped but held onto the kitchen
Dedicate yourself to the good you deserve and desire for yourself. Give yourself peace of mind. You deserve to be happy. You deserve delight. ~Mark Victor HansenCharlotteI angrily straightened my hair after I had taken a cold shower to help get rid of the ache between my legs. Anthony and I were so close, I was so close to getting what I've been wanting since I was only 7 years old and two men just had to ruin it.Even though the water had helped control my urge to have Anthony there again, I knew it would be back again when I set my eyes on him. And only he could fix that which was a bummer because he kept being an asshole every chance he got.Finally finishing and pulling my hair into a ponytail, I got out of the bathroom and placed on a pair of a short denim shorts and tank top. Since the weather today was a bit chilly, I got the grey hoodie I had gotten from Anthony's closet and pulled it over my head. I then sat on my bed and my encounter with Anthony in the kitchen replay in
