NEXT DAY...
Walking down the stairs ready for the day, I find myself alone, except for my bodyguard, or should I say, prison guard. Drake sat at the table, reading something on his phone.
“Where is Alek?” I asked.
Drake looked up. “He had a meeting.”
“How am I going to get to the club?” I questioned.
Drake grinned. “Me sweetheart.”
The way he looked at me gave me creeper vibes.
Annoyed, I glare at him. “It’s Bristol,” I stated with my hand on my hip.
“Whatever hotcakes,” Drake laughed, looking back at his phone.
Anger bubbled up. I slammed my hand on the counter. “I said my name is Bristol!” I shouted, repeating myself.
He stood. “Watch it. That pretty little mouth shouldn’t talk like that. I have a few ideas about how I should be used.”
I gagged. “Ew.” I rolled my eyes and walked away, but Drake gripped my wrist.
“Big bad mafia man isn’t here to protect you. I could take what I want, and you are like a helpless kitten.”
Stepping back from Drake, I tried pulling my wrist free. “LET GO OF ME!” finally yanking my hand away.
“What the fuck is going on here?” Alek’s deep voice growled.
Drake straightened. “Nothing boss, just chatting.”
Not wanting to be responsible for another man’s death, I kept quiet.
Alek narrowed his eyes at me. “Bri?”
“Everything is fine,” I stated, then walked away.
After lunch, I got ready for tonight and left my room, but felt hands instantly grabbing me from behind. I tried to scream, but there was a hand covering my mouth. Shoved into a nearby room, the light clicked on.
“Keep your mouth shut about earlier,” Drake kept his hand over my mouth. All I could do was nod in agreement.
Drake shoved me away and left quickly.
Even after Drake mini kidnapped me, I still had to ride with him to the club because I couldn’t let Alek know about what happened earlier.
There, I hurried out of the car to avoid any interactions with Drake.
As I stepped in, music filled my ears.
“No freaking way!” Kevin’s sweet voice sang.
“Oh my God, Kevin!” I ran up to him but he put his hand up to stop me then pointed up.
There stood Alek, his gaze fixed on us.
“He’s really a big teddy bear,” I giggled.
“Maybe to you, but he isn’t afraid to shoot me point blank and not even lose a wink of sleep. But I’m glad you’re back.”
“Thanks, I missed it sadly,” I said, laughing.
Kevin smiled. “Well, get to work missy.”
We gave each other another smile and went separate ways.
The night started off slowly but picked up quickly.
“What’s the order?” Kevin asked.
“6 shots tequila, 3 beers, and 3 whiskey sour.”
“Coming up,” Kevin shouted over the music.
Laughing to myself, I sat at the bar when someone tapped my shoulder. As I turn around, surprise-filled my eyes.
“Hey,” Brinley said casually.
Taken back I stare blankly at her. “What are you doing here?”
Brinley glanced back to a table in the corner where Cole, Camari, and Devon sat, then returned her attention back to me. “I talked to your dad, he explained everything, but I know we can’t talk about it.”
My eyes coward to the floor. “I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be. I should be. It was not my place to be mad about the tattoo guy,” Brinley said apologetically.
Sighing. “I am still a virgin. I didn’t sleep with Alek.”
Brinley’s eyes widen. “Alek?” She wiggled her brows at me. “So he’s hot with a sexy name. Make him that much sexier.” And we both laughed.
“He’s my boss, silly.”
Brinley just nodded, but I could tell she didn’t believe me.
“Come say hi to the others,” she suggested.
Shaking my head, I looked back at Cole and my friends. Well, not sure if I can consider them friends anymore. “I don’t know if that is a good idea.”
Brinley clasped her hands together with pouty lips. “Come on, please.”
Smiling, I agreed. “Okay.”
We made our way over to the table and as soon as I’m at the table, Camari shoots an icy glare in my direction and pulled Cole’s arm around her shoulder. Which didn’t even bother me because he wasn’t right for me either.
“Hey guys,” I said, smiling.
“Well, it looks like miss party pooper is here to ruin the fun,” Camari rolled her eyes and picked up her drink.
It felt icky that my once best friend was trying to bully me. I had given Camari enough of my time and wasn’t about to let her walk all over me anymore.
But as I was about to give her a piece of my mind, a hand on my back startled me.
“Well, if it isn’t the ex,” Alek smirked at Cole’s uneasy face.
“Damn, I can see why Bristol wanted to stay here,” Camari said, batting her lashes at Alek. Anger boiled inside me. “So, are you like her boss? If you’re trying to get in her pants, good luck.” She laughed. “You could call me if you want to have fun.” she winked up at Alek, then trailed her nails over Alek’s forearm tattoo.
Alek yanked his arm away, but that didn’t stop me from snatching her by the hair. “Touch him again, and I will break every one of your fingers. Have a little respect for yourself. Handing out free pussy to every hot guy is pathetic. At least leave something for when you get married. At this rate, your husband is getting overcooked spam.” I growled, shoving her towards Cole.
Alek laughed under his breath but pretended to cough when I glanced at him.
“Damn, he must give good dick,” Camari said, scratching her head where I gripped her hair.
“Oh, shut the fuck up!” I snarled, reaching for Camari again, but Alek pulled me back.
“Haha, you wouldn’t know what to do with it, anyway. You probably run away crying if you saw one,” Cole said, chuckling.
Alek stepped forward, and I grabbed his forearm. He pointed his finger aggressively at Cole, and I had to step in front of him to keep him from reaching Cole.
“A boy that has to beg for pussy has no room to talk, so shut the fuck up before I rearrange that pretty boy face!” Alek snapped.
“Guys, that’s enough!” Brinley shouted, waving her hands at us to stop. “Camari, you’re such a bitch, and you need to find new friends cause I’m don’t with you! And Cole, you are a douche to let Bristol slip away over your stupid teenage bullshit. But too late. Looks like she has a real man now.” Brinley stood, pulling on Devon’s hand. “Bye Bristol I love you and hope to see you again soon.” She hugged me, then walked off with Devon in tow.
Cole and Camari sat for a moment, looking stupid before they finally got up and left.
Shrugging it off, I went back to my job but not before glancing back at Alek and giving him a gracious smile, then turned on my way back to the bar.
My shift ended, and Alek took me home. I went straight for the shower once we got there.
Getting dressed, I pulled on a t-shirt that I found in a drawer. I knew it was Alek’s and put it on, not wearing a bra, only panties. Then, barefoot, I went down to Alek’s office. I knew he would be there.
As I entered, Alek glanced up, his face filled with surprise. “Is that my shirt?”
“Yeah, it looks better on me.”
Alek’s eyes were glued to my dark legs. “Sure does.” He squinted his eyes. “What are you doing?” He asked as I slowly made my way closer.
I nipped my finger. “Nothing.” I smiled innocently. At his side, I leaned on his desk, and Alek looked up at me. “I have a request.”
Alek leaned back in his chair, looking me over curiously. “Okay, I’m listening.”
Placing my hands on either side of his chair, I brought my lips against his ear. His body tensed. “Fuck me.”
It stunned Alek for a second, but quickly comprehended what I said. His lips forcefully smashed into mine. His hands cupped my face as he deepened our kiss. Alek tasted so good. I wanted him to ravish every part of me. We pulled apart, breathless. "I want you so damn bad," Alek whispered as he placed his forehead against mine. "Then do it. Take me now Alek," I teased. There was a rumble in his chest when he gripped the back of my thighs and lifted me to straddle him. He held me effortlessly as he walked towards the hall. "No, I can't wait. I want you now," I said with urgency. Alek slammed me against the wall, and I wrappe
The other bartender made my drinks, and I returned to the table, unsure what I was getting myself in the middle of. “Here you go, four whiskeys,” I placed the drinks down and left, but the man’s voice stopped me. “Why in such a rush?” He asked. Turning back to him, I smiled politely. “I have to check on my tables. I’ll be back to check on you in a few,” I said and turned to leave, but the man grabbed my wrist. Instantly his hand was ripped off me and I was placed behind Alek. The man and Alek glared at each other. “What? Not happy to see an old friend?” the man’s lip curved into a grin. He leaned back against the booth, placing his hands on the top.
Alek stared at me with admiration in his eyes. “Why would you risk your life for me? I stole yours, remember?” I thought over his words for a second. “You may have changed my life, but you didn’t steal it. You saved it.” Baffled, he stared blankly, not sure what to say to those words, and placed the car in drive, then took off. We pulled off onto the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. It was dark. The only light came from the half-moon perched up in the sky. Alek put the vehicle in park and glanced at me. “Stay here,” he ordered. When I tried to argue, he pressed his plump lips to mine in a passionate kiss like this could be the last I see of him, and that made my insides go anxious at the
Smoked trailed up from the barrel of the pistol. Three of Gianni’s goons laid lifeless on the cold cement floor. Now I had an aim at Gianni.Alek stared at me out of the corner of his eye, stunned. “Where the hell did you learn to shoot like that?”I shrugged. “It runs in the family.”Gianni stood there in disbelief, wondering how a young girl like me could take out three of his best men, but then held his hands up in defeat. “Hey now, let’s not be hasty.”I glared at him. “Oh right, and you were just friendly as pie telling your men to gun down Alek and kidnap me?” I snapped. “Take your bullshit to someone else that believes it!” I spat.
My head fell on Alek's shoulder as I hugged his body tight. His hand found mine, and he squeezed it. "I love you." His voice was faint."SOMEONE CALL THE DOCTOR NOW!" I screamed, frantically looking around.Kevin pulled out his phone quickly and dialed the mafia doctor while I tried to keep Alek awake."Please, you have to keep your eyes open. Stay with me." I pleaded while my eyes turned into Niagara falls.What felt like hours was only minutes when the doctor arrived."Excuse me, make way," The doctor said, walking through the sea of people surrounding us.As my attention went towards the doctor, I caught sight of a familiar face in the crowd, trying to slip away. I knew who caused this.With my arms wrapped around Alek, I looked up at the doctor. "Help him, please," I begged."I will do everything I can."I nodded, wiping the tears from my face, and picked up the gun next to A
My hands gripped the steering wheel as I sped down the freeway. As I pulled into the back alley, I quickly got out running inside, not caring to check if the car was even in park. Out of breath, I looked around at everyone who sat in the waiting area. "Bristol!" Kevin yelled, getting up from his seat to run over to me. "Where is he?" I asked frantically. "Still in with the doc," Kevin answered, unsure what else to say. "What's happening? The doctor called me said to hurry," I said, running my hands over my face, feeling overwhelmed. Kevin looked over my appearance for a moment, noticing my Drake sprinkled face, and his eyes went to my soaked clothes. "Are you hurt?" I shook my head. "No, it's not my blood." My body trembled; I felt like I was on crack, and Alek was my drug. I just needed to know what was going on. "I want to see Alek." I walked past when Kevin grabbed my arm gently.
"Oh my God!" I screamed excitedly. My arms instantly wrapped around Alek's neck. Alek accepted my embrace fully. "Hey, don't cry," he said, lifting my chin so he could see my face. "You know I would never leave you." Unable to hold back how much I missed him, I took the opportunity to devour his plump lips. He didn't hesitate and wrapped his fingers in my hair, pressing our lips harder together. As we pulled apart, our eyes met, and our souls felt like they were eternally connected. We were interrupted by the doctor clearing his throat. "I see you're awake and already making out with a pretty girl." Alek chuckled. "She's not just any pretty girl. She is my fiance." The doctor smirked as he walked over to the machine next to the bed. "Need to check your vitals and run some tests to make sure your brain is functioning correctly." he pushed some buttons, causing the machine to make some annoying beeping sounds, then turned to us. "Bristol,
AT THE MANSION...After a hot bath, I got dressed in attire for a boss—a brown low cut silky top with white bellbottom dress pants and white heels. Glancing in the mirror, I felt satisfied and left for the garage, grabbing the keys to my Camaro on the way out.As I drove through LA heading towards my dad's house, I thought about the past few months how fast all this had gone and felt a little doubt which pissed me off that my father was getting in my head. Am I making the right choice? Is it too soon to marry Alek? I don't think so, but my father's words ran through my mind.With all my thoughts distracting me, I made it to my father's in no time. I parked then walked up the steps when my father opened the door before I could even knock."Hey," he said, standing in the doorway.
