I walked into Theo's house after almost a week of not seeing him. I was embarrassed of what I said to him while I was drunk with sleep, and waking up alone the next day just added to the embarrassment.
Even though he said it first, it was said in the moment kind of thing, and I just said it while I was sleepy?
"What are you thinking about?" I saw Kim staring at me with a curious gaze and I was surprised that I actually bumped into someone. "You're still thinking."
"Hi Kim," I sighed as I wrapped my arms around her. "I missed you," I said and she hugged me back.
"I missed you too, you kinda went MIA after the last job," she said and I groaned as I pressed my head against the wall. "Are you hungover?"
"No," I mumbled.
"Drunk?"
"No."
"Tired? Annoyed? Heartbroken?"
"An idiot," I mumbled and she gasped. "Not you, but me. I'm an idiot," I said and she pulled me away from the wall.
"Why are you an idiot?" She asked and a

Theo and I were in my apartment after I had begged him for days to be my model for a new painting I had been meaning to work on."I don't understand why it has to be me," Theo groaned as he took off his jacket."Would you rather it be Leo?" I asked back and he clenched his jaw. "I had a lot of options, but I chose you," I said as I helped him take off his shirt."Do I really have to be completely nude?" He asked and I stood on my toes and pressed a kiss on his chin."Yes, take them off," I said as I prepared my canvas down on the floor, it was almost as tall as he was but it was. Bit longer, this would take ages for me to finish, but painting it black did take me around three hours.I took the white paint and kneeled down as I painted his leg from the knee right up to the foot. "Really?" I asked as I looked at his erection that was right in my face."The paint is cold," he whispered as he covered it with his hands. I giggled as I shook my he

"So like, you guys are dating again?" Zada asked as she helped me prepare the table. She didn't seem happy nor disappointed which is exactly why I was worried about what she might say next."Yes, we are back together," I repeated again for the umpteenth time and she crossed her arms over her chest."Do you not remember what happened the last time? To you?" She asked and I sighed staring at her."How could I not remember when I have an everlasting scar to remind me of it. Now drop it," I snapped and since Zada is my sister, we both took our mothers stubbornness, I knew she wasn't going to let go of this conversation so easily."Exactly, you have a scar that reminds you you got SHOT because of HIM! I don't understand why you would be getting back with him when you know the type of life he lives.""Don't speak of him like he's some kind of animal, you don't know him Zada. Besides, weren't you

I walked in through the heavily guarded gates with my hands in my pockets. After being searched and asked questions of whether I had any weapons, which I didn't, I was finally let through.I sat down on the bench with its paint chiping away, crossing my arms over my chest, I waited patiently. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Xania's constant begging, and because I love her and I want her to be happy I finally came.If it wasn't for her, I don't think I would've stepped foot in this place, or even want to see him ever. He came out with his wrists chained and a guard holding onto his arm as he pulled him towards me.His face lighted up with what seemed like pure happiness to finally see me, but that happiness died down once he noticed that the feeling wasn't mutual. Despite feeling some other way, I got up and hugged him after the guard had removed the handcuffs."It's good to see you," he said as he slap

Theo was late. For his own gathering, something that he organised and he was late!Everyone was here except for Cassandra and Marcus, they were here for a brief moment to drop off Jameson, but they said they had their own arrangements they had to attend to.I sat with Azani on my lap and Jameson as we conversed about what people their age talk about. Here I was with my two favourite boys, talking about Transformers."I think sissy is Optimus Prime," Azani said as he played with his toy figure."Yeah, I think so too," Jameson said as he held Megatron and 'fought' with Azani's Optimus."Really? I think I'm bumblebee," I said as I picked up my figurine and pushed it between the two. "Don't you think I'm bumblebee?" I asked Azani and he giggled shaking his head."No, you're Optimus sissy," he said and I laughed."Fine, but I still think I'm bumblebee, just saying," I kissed his temple and we carried on playing."Nia, do you want a

"For your exams, please remember the shortcuts I taught you guys, if you get those, you've aced the test," I said to my students as they packed up their laptops and tablets."Sure Mrs Walder," one of the students sang and I rolled my eyes."Good luck, and I hope to see all of you in the second year," I said as I left the studio and headed to Joshua's office. "Hey," I said as I dropped myself onto the couch."Hi," he grumbled without looking up and I raised my head to look at him."What's up with you?" I asked him amused and he gave me the 'really?' look, I shrugged my shoulders to show that I really didn't know what was wrong."Oh," he said offended. "So you really don't know?" He asked raising his hands and I sat up straight. "Are you seriously going to sit there and pretend as if you don't know what the problem is?""Yes?" I answered unsure and Jonathan rolled his eyes as he slammed his hands on the desk."Bitch," he dragged out and

I exited our bedroom as I wore my earrings. My heels clacked against the ceramic white tiles and I joined everyone else in our living room.Ever since Theo and I got married, I moved into the house and while I have been living on cloud nine in the bedroom and everywhere else, we've also been busy with making sure the plan was secure and safe.And because of that, the team had to sleep over here a few nights in and this whole week they've been here, so Theo and I haven't really been able to get down and dirty and I'm kind off irritated because of that, but after tonight, we're definitely going to break that bed."Okay, I'm ready," I said as I smoothed down my dress and Leo whistled making me smile."Always mami! Al-fucking-ways!""Thank you, Leo," I said."No, go change," Theo said and I raised my hands."This is the third dress, Theo!" I complained and he shook his head."And you're still naked, go change," Theo said and I cros

With everyone dispersed in the building I stood in front of a portrait and I couldn't help but feel sad for the painter, it was full of despair and pain but it was a lovely painting.Luke was somewhere behind the building hacking into the buildings software. Leo was downstairs where the DBS box was situated, Miranda was in the controls room and Gwen and Kim were in the gallery too walking around together.Theo stayed in the car for obvious reasons, he would stand out and Michael would obviously know something was up.Moving onto the next painting, I smiled to the couple that was already standing in front of it.The gallery had a limited number of people in it, and at such short notice they informed all of the guests that they wouldn't be selling their pieces anymore, of course that didn't disrupt our plans.The counterfeits were waiting to be planted, all we had to do now was throw the bai

You have to believe I tried really hard to stay in the car, but the more I heard him speak to Xania, try to crack up jokes as if everything was okay between them made me angry.To begin with, they were never close, he never had good intentions for her, and to even bring up her depression set me off. So I sat patiently waiting for him in the basement.The original paintings had already been switched out and were heading to my buyer with Leo, the ones that Michael thought were real were just printed paintings, with a little texture added by my wife.She had been the one to really break down the plan and make it solid, even better than I had in the first place. To think that this is what she's been planning for the last few years, trying to find ways to get rid of Micheal forever really makes me see how her and I are meant for each other.I heard her call out my name in the earpiece but I couldn't answer, bec
