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
ANTONIO I walk out of the building that I've spent a full nine years over a mistake that shouldn't have happened, something that has haunted me day and night behind these walls. Every night seeing that body lying lifeless on that ground because they didn't do their fucking job properly. I catch a cab going back to the house, this is the last time I'll ever be stepping into this place. It ruined me but I won't let it ruin my life as well, almost did but I get the choice to make something better of it. "Boss, you're back!" One of the members yelled in surprise not making eye contact, well it's what was required of them ever since I became the leader, forced to be. At the time I was really happy about it because well you know... I was young and s
I sit in my office working on an upcoming case for one of the biggest clients I have, an affair with his secretary and now she's taking him to court for rape. Funny because he has recordings of them fully agreeing on the affair but what will not be in his favour and what I know the opposing counsel will use is the fact that he recorded her without her knowing. "Sir, somebody is here for you," Sophie's voice was loud on the intercom disrupting the pleasing sounds of silence. "Do they have an appointment?" I asked her. "No, but she says it's important," she emphasised the words, knowing Sophie she could be looking at whoever this she is in a very rude manner. "Send her away," I answered, focusing on my case when suddenly a
LOTUS Honestly, this man wasn't who I was expecting to meet at all. I thought I was going to meet a man with a greasy beard and a potbelly, a person who looked extremely exhausted and didn't even want to live. But as for him, he was so gorgeous, I was jealous of his looks. He had a beautifully sculptured face, a sharp jawline and perfect cheekbones. To say his eyes didn't capture my attention would be a huge lie. Those eyes did things to me I never thought would happen at all, I was so lost in those greyish blue eyes that were staring at me. He's staring at me! Let me pretend as if I'm not looking at him... His nose had cute freckles and his lips were full, I really wonder what it would be like to kiss those. I snapped out of my daze when he snapped his fingers in front of my eyes.
ANTONIO "So explain yourself," I said as we finished ordering our lunch, normally I would send Sophie to get me my normal lunch but something about this girl made me want to get out of the office, but it's also to make Wood think I'm interested in her. She was quite intelligent, the way she told me off about the case made me want to snap but all I could do was tell her she's looking at two different cases, she seemed more interested in the double homicide and honestly, I am too. "Basically what it says is that Jonah stabbed Marlon and Marcia, his best friend's because they had a huge argument about the sudden relationship the deceased had, mind you Marcia was always Jonah's crush so I guess you could understand the argument part. What I do not understand is how he could kill them when he
I watch Antonio and Charlie leave and I close the door behind them. With a sigh, I collapse on the couch and switch the big screen in the wall on. Everything that's playing sucks so I switch my phone on and it's flooded with texts. Devil in human form: Did you manage to meddle your pretty ass into his life yet? - It's been a whole week Lotus, how much more fucking time do you need! Remember your life's in my hands. - Time is running out beautiful flower. I don't reply to any of his texts knowing he already has somebody following me around to see if I'm doing as he instructed. I see that an unknown number texted me. Unknown
I get out of my bed and groan, stretching my muscles. I walk to my bathroom and take a shower, brush my teeth and get dressed in sweatpants without a shirt I walk downstairs and I'm whiffed with the smell of food, I groan out forgetting I had a girl living with me now. I find her in the kitchen dancing to a song, mostly her ass. I smirk as an idea comes up and I walk up to her caging her between me and the island, pressing myself on her ass and she gasps. "What are you doing?" She stuttered out breathing heavily, you sure do got it with all the ladies Antonio. I skimmed my nose along her neck and sniffed, Eucalyptus. Nice "So... you like to watch," I said biting her ear lobe.
"So that's your uncle?" Jake muttered after Antonio went upstairs. Jake had gotten here an hour before Ant and we've been seated on the couch since catching up. "Yup. My grumpy uncle," I said looking away, I had to think about something on the spot and uncle was the best I could do. "And that's his girlfriend?" I nodded again, "Rather we carry on with us?" He asked again and I grinned "Please," There was a moment of silence after I said that. "I don't know why I never had the guts to approach you in school," He said and my head snapped to him. "Wait what?" I spoke out after looking at him for the longest time ever and he chuckled, shifting closer to me and twirling his finger around my braid.
