2024-10-29 19:42:56It's the beginning of the week which means back to work again. Great! Antonio would be an awesome boss if he'd stop being so....him! The guy rarely cracks a smile when we're in the office.
I get that he's the CEO but hey I didn't want to be here either...just saying.
"Hi, Sophie," I walked past her old ass, carrying a million files that someone sent me to get because he needs them. Mxm.
I opened the door with a push my hip and he looked up at me, a struggling me and he still sat down looking at me. What a gentleman.
I dropped the files on his desk, I saw a smirk playing on his amazing lips but I ignored it.
"Could you go..."
"No," I groaned collapsing on my chair.

"So why are we going through these?" I asked him yawning, I was tired of reading these. "Because you have nothing better to do," he paged through the file not even paying attention to what he was reading. "And you do?" He looked up at me with a raised eyebrow. Do I annoy him with everything I say? "Antonio?" I called him and he sighed...yup I do annoy him. "Yes, Lotus?" "What happened to that guy. The one with the sexual offences?" I forgot his name...oh yes dickhead! And the one on his birth certificate is Ferguson, but it doesn't matter! "Still looking for me to be his lawyer," He mumbled opening another file. "Why don't you take it?" I suggested, he looked up

It was finally, thank God, the end of today! I don't like Mondays or any day that requires me to work. I slumped on the couch with my face in the pillow and one leg over the edge of the couch and the other leg on the floor. "Lotus." "No, Antonio I'm too tired!" I mumbled against the pillow. "I was going to ask you what you'd like to eat," Oh, food! "Anything without mushrooms is good for me," I waved my hand and I heard him walk away. A room without Antonio is so refreshing, I don't mind being around him but it's just that when you are... you're always on your toes. At least other people...
The Retired Gang Leader. Alone.
I woke up feeling cold, I was sleeping alone after all. I stretched my body across the bed and laid there staring at the ceiling. I took my phone and checked the time, eleven in the morning. Shit, I'm late for work...wait a minute, I'm off for the whole week! I strolled to the bathroom and cleaned myself up. As I was showering I realized I had nothing to do. Maybe I could...no he would kill me. But I'm still going to do it. I head downstairs for some cereal and when I'm done I go to the garage that has that beauty in it. His beauty. He calls him 'she' I call him ‘him’...we’re still sorting out our differences and pronouns, don’t judge us. I p
The Retired Gang Leader. Stacey.
"Stacey," That's all he's going to say? Stacey!? "Hi, Antonio," Nyi nyantonio, with her small wave and big eyes. She's gorgeous, to tell the truth, but what is she doing here!? And can't she see me standing right here? "Lotus move so she can get in," Antonio pushed me to the side! I wasn't even standing in front of the door or is he trying to say I'm fat!? I know my ass is big but shit I am not big! Well, that big that I would have to move. Stacey entered with her duffle bag...is she moving in already? I watched Antonio lead her to the living area, the guy was extremely happy and nervous at the same time. What happened between them? I trailed behind them and sat down on the couch opposite them. They are smiling at each other, like long lost lovers. They're just smili

I felt a heavy blanket on top of me, it was hot which was weird because I remember going to bed with only a light sheet. Why is my face wet? One thing I know for sure is I don't have a dog so why is this thing licking my face? "I know you are awake Lotus," I groaned in annoyance. What does he want? "Leave me alone," I pushed his face away from mine and he grabbed my hands pulling them over my head. "Antonio no," I said sternly, I'm not in the mood. "What's wrong with you tonight?" He let go of my hands looking at me. "I'm tired and just want to sleep. Now please leave me alone," I turned my back to him covering myself with the light sheet I had before. "Are you a
The Retired Gang Leader. Wrong.
I was sitting in front of Jake as he kept on talking about whatever it is he was talking about...I wasn't paying attention to him because I couldn't help but think about today's earlier events, as much as I hate to say this I was wrong for what I said to Stacey, not Antonio he deserved that. "Lotus?" I should buy her something to show her how sorry I am...which is not much because it still doesn't make sense why she is here but that can be a story for later. "Lotus?" I wonder what she likes? She looks like a person who likes shiny things and is girly. So what to buy for her? "LOTUS!" "Yes?" I looked at Jake frightened, he chuckled and I gave him a small smile.
The Retired Gang Leader. Training Day.
I was sleeping peacefully as you know I should until some mad man removed the sheets off my body and pulled me with them because I refused to wake up. The last time I checked I was supposed to be off this entire work but he always has something for me to do. I am currently throwing daggers his way as I stand in his gym, my body dripping with sweat and I am trying very hard to breathe! Antonio gave me a 'break' because according to him 'you are lazy', he said I’m lazy, that was really one of the best compliments I’ve received from him that actually hurt. "Why am I even training?" I asked again for the umpteenth time. He looked at me and raised his eyebrow walking closer. "So you caught your breath?" He chuckled and I glared at him. "Will you tell me?"
The Retired Gang Leader. After.
After our training day, Antonio went back to being his moody self, he doesn't talk to anyone and is always at work. I don't see Stacey much either...but I don't care about them. Although I do care about Antonio a bit, I am finally learning how to stand my ground. I've been hanging out with Jake a lot more and it's been fun, Stacey suggested having him come over for dinner...she is suddenly the mother of the house. Who appointed her? Regardless I still agreed because I would have double the fun...piss Antonio off and have Jake to crack jokes with. Chris and Tiffany have also been invited...my favourite people in the whole world, and currently, they came before Antonio! I was wearing a simple black dress and was barefoot...I am 'home' after all. My phone vibrated and it was a text from Jake, he's here. I rushed down the stairs but before I could get to the door

So I lost the bet, Johnny the big guy didn't win against the small guy and I was hurt, to say the least. "So are you ready?" Antonio whispered cockily in my ear and I frowned, following Johnny with my eyes, I will get him later. Where in the world has the big guy ever lost against the smaller one! Where!? Nodding my head trying to seem confident yet I was crapping myself, I wasn't ready for anything but a bet is a bet and I will keep my end of the bargain and carry out with the bet, I'm no wimp. "You know, it's okay if you don't want to," he said as we walked together hand in hand. "No!" I shouted and cleared my throat, "I mean I want to," I nodded my head trying to convince him but all I was doing was convincing myself even more. "Okay then, you will love it!" He exclaimed and I pressed my lips together and slowly followed him to our room, "Wait we have to eat." "Yes! Totally agree, I'm starving, I'll go make us food," I rushed to turn around but he caught me by my waist. “Tha

"Good morning Mrs Rossi," a voice whispered in my ear and I pushed his face away from me, mumbling a pained no. "Come on, it's time to wake up." "But I don't want to, leave me alone please," I turned my body away from him and the idiot seemed to follow me. Sticking his wet finger into my ear I jumped out of the bed and looked at him horrified. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I shouted at him and he laughed looking at me. "Come on, you promised to watch them today," he said walking over to me with his arms open for me, walking right into the hug I wrapped my arms around his waist and his hands touched the edge of his shirt before grabbing my ass. "They're not kids Ant, they will be just fine," I mumbled sleepily against his chest and he moved my hands from his waist wrapping them around his neck, picking me up as he walked us into the bathroom. "A promise is a promise Fiore," he said, sitting me down on the countertop as he opened the shower for me. "But there's always next ti
The Retired Gang Leader. The Tour.
Antonio stood at the altar waiting for his bride to be, officially and right this time to come out. He too couldn't believe that the day had finally arrived and they were both ready to settle down so quickly together and yet surprisingly they were both more than ready for this change. It wasn't really a change considering that they had been living together for a long time and they had already been technically married just without Lotus knowing but now they had to do it in front of everyone this time and with her clear knowledge that it was happening. Antonio stood staring ahead at the door Lotus was supposed to come out of, which she hadn't yet and it made him feel nervous and panicky, that's why he had sent Charlie to go get her and Tiffany. They weren't late per se, but he just wanted to see her and hold her. He heard a noise that sounded like cheering on and he wondered what it was all about, the doors bursting open and causing everyone to look at them, out came Charlie and Tiff

The Retired Gang Leader. Officially.
The preparations for this day were stressful and fun at the same time, having my best friend or should I say my sister here to help me was a huge relief! Sitting on the bed together I watched her as she tried to fit her gown but it wouldn't get past her hips. "You have been gaining a lot of weight these days Tiff," I commented paging through the book she brought for me to get back in the mode of reading hardcover books, and so far? Still not interested, which is crazy cause I remember how much I used to love them when I was a kid. Oh well, I guess growing up changes a lot of things. "Yeah, I think I've been eating quite a lot." "Out with it Tiff, you pregnant?" I asked her closing the book and looking at her, her head dropped and she slowly nodded. "Why were you quiet about it?" "I didn't want to seem careless when I told you the news after you had just...you know," she said in a small voice and I frowned. "I'm sorry Lotus, it wasn't even my intention to get-" stopping her with a
The Retired Gang Leader. Happy.
After months of having to attend therapy sessions, eleven torturous months of sitting in front of Dr Meyer and telling her all about my problems and how I feel, it has been absolute hell and I am very happy that this is my last session with her. At first, I never opened up about anything and would always fire back her questions to her, for example, she would ask me 'how do you feel about that?' and I would answer her with a 'how do you think I feel about that?' I know she is here to help me get over my guilt and try to understand my emotions a bit better but come on, even you have to admit that some of the questions are a bit retarded. "So Lotus, how do you feel about this being our last session together?" "Uh, am I supposed to feel some type of way?" I asked her, does she want me to be sad and weeping that I won't be seeing her anymore and I won't have to answer questions and have her prove a point to me that would bug me out for a whole week until I see her. "It's all up to you
The Retired Gang Leader. Almost.
I had just taken a shower that Tiffany forced me into taking because for the past three days I had been sitting next to her, watching her curly hair become flatter. Grabbing my shirt I walked to the room Lotus was resting in, buttoning my shirt up I opened the door and I heard her melodic laugh. "There you are!" She chirped and I stood by the door fazed, I wasn't here when she woke up. "You're up," I whispered, not believing my eyes, she gestured to her body and giggled. "I'm wide awake, are you just going to stand there and watch me or are you going to come hug me?" She said in a suggestive tone and still, I stood there just watching her. "You would think he was the one that got shot," she mumbled, Charlie and Tiffany laughed and she laughed too but ended up coughing. Rushing over to her side I helped her sit up straighter and gave her some water to drink. "Are you okay?" I asked her and she waved me off. "I'm fine, I missed you," she said and I smiled, looking up I saw we were
The Retired Gang Leader. Pray.
I was sitting on the chair next to Lotus's bed as she lay there sleeping off the heavy doses of medication that they had pumped into her body after surgery. I had never felt so useless and terrified in my life. The thoughts that kept running in my head were horrifying, only if I had moved quicker then maybe she would be awake right now annoying the crap out of me, but instead, she was here on this bed bandaged and being helped by a ventilator in order to breathe and it's all my fault. Holding onto her hand I looked at her and brought my hand to touch her curls, the curls I love twirling my finger around when we lay in bed talking about anything and everything. It's really easy to talk to her, but with her sleeping it's difficult and I just want to hear her voice, even if it's just to curse me out. I tried squeezing her hand thinking she will respond and squeeze mine back but she doesn't, her cold fingers touch mine in an embrace I'm forcing, trying to warm them up I rub our hands t
The Retired Gang Leader. Over A Crest?
I had just come back from the bathroom and on our way back I might have sneakily grabbed Big Joe's gun and hit him on the head. I couldn't really pull him anywhere because he was big and compared to him, I was extremely small. Taking his pocket knife I walked back into the room and found Wood beating my Antonio who held a satisfied smirk at what was happening and Stacey standing there watching them as if it was a show. "What in the world is going on here!?" My voice echoed in the room and I ran over to Antonio pulling him away from Wood, here I am acting as if this is my house but I hadn't been gone for more than five minutes and here they were fighting already, slipping the pocket knife into his pocket I helped him stand straighter. "This is an ivory-white jacket, do you know how much work I will have to do because there's blood all over it?" It wasn't really about the jacket, but it wouldn't hurt to get them thinking it was about it. Walking back to my seat but pushing it next to
