Oh my God! I have to go to work! I frantically searched the room for my watch which I found sitting on the nightstand. The time read 2:15pm meaning I have 45 minutes to get to work. I took my backpack which I found at the corner of the room and dashed out of the room trying to find the exit.How am I even supposed to find the exit in this huge house- correction, mansion. "What the hell are you doing?" A voice behind me said. I turned around to meet the face of the man I met this morning. I think his name was Theo or something.His hair was wet and he only had a towel wrapped lose on his lower area. He looked very hot and angry. And oh he had some nice abs too. Wait is that some eight packs I see? Holy cow! He has eight packs and some ripped muscles too. As much as I wanted to look away, the drops of water on his chest trailing down to his v-line was calling on to me. Literally.The sound of him clearing his throat brought me back to reality.
What was bugging me was why my dad would be owing Theodore money. "L-look, please just give me some time to find the money," he said fearfully. I'm sure he had sobered up a bit. "No!" Theodore yelled angrily. "I had given you 6 months to get my money back but you rather spent it on alcohol," he continued. My dad had been owing him for that long? But how? Why? He gestured one of his men for something. The man gave Theodore a gun making my eyes widen in shock and fear of losing the only family I had. "Say goodbye Jones," he said pointing the gun at my dad.I rushed out of my hiding spot ignoring the pain spreading through my body in hopes of saving him but I was too late. Theodore had already pulled the trigger, shooting my dad square in his chest. I halted in my steps clinging to the nearby table for support as tears strolled down my face. I know that he was not the best father but at least I considered him family. He was the only family I knew. I ha
I felt bad for shouting at him so I apologized. I sighed fidgeting with my fingers and said, "I'm sorry too. I am mad at your brother and I took out on you." I hesitantly went up to him and gave him a short hug. "It's fine. I know how annoying he can be and now that you are here we can both annoy the hell out of him," Theodore's brother said winking at me and we both laughed. "Ahem ahem! I'm still here," Theodore said sarcastically. I just rolled my eyes at him and his brother pulled out his tongue at him. "Great! Now I have two people to annoy the shit out of me," he mumbled leaving the room. "I'm Xavier by the way," he said introducing himself. "I'm Andrea," I said.Surprisingly after that day Xavier became my best friend and I hung out with him a lot. I did school online and as for Theodore, he was our legal guardian but we didn't get to see him always because of his work. I still hate him though. I wasn't about to let the fact that he had killed my d
"How would you feel if you found your brother kissing your best friend?" He asked. "Xavier calm down," I said trying to hold his arm but he flinched away from me and I'd be lying if I say that didn't hurt. "Dude it wasn't her fault. Don't treat her like that," Theodore said noticing what Xavier did. "Then tell me why the fuck you kissed her," Xavier demanded. "I...I..." Theodore trailed off staring at me. "It was just an in the moment kind of thing," Theodore said scratching his neck and breaking eye contact with me.I felt hurt by what he said but I let it go. It's not like I ever even loved him. "I...-just don't let it happen again," Xavier said to his brother before pulling me into a hug. I sighed in relief. "She's innocent and I'd like for it to stay that way," Xavier mumbled and I smacked his head in annoyance. "I'm not," I said pouting at him and he chuckled. "Yeah...and pigs fly," he said sarcastically. "I'm sorry," Theodore said to me. I frowned
I held his hand before he could leave, "Be safe." He caressed my cheeks and kissed my forehead. His eyes lowered down to my lips and he shut his eyes and swallowed deeply. I knew exactly what he wanted to do but we can't kiss on the lips ever again cuz if that happens... everything will not be okay with us and he knew it too. He cleared his throat, "I promise." And with that, he left.*Few hours later*"Andrea we can't go there," I gave Xander on of my best pouts but it didn't seem to be working. "We can go there only if we have his permission," Xander said for the millionth time. What's so bad about Theodore's work place? I have never seen him working and he's been out for a very long time and I'm worried so it's a win-win situation. That's when I had an idea. I picked up my phone and pretended to call Theodore. "Hi Theo!" I said and looked at Xavier's face. "Can Xavier bring me to your office?" I kept quiet for a while as if I was waiting for Theodore to agree and then I squealed
I left both Xavier and Theodore back at the warehouse and took a cab home. I was angry- no, I was livid! I knew he owned one of the strongest Mafia groups but I didn't know he did it to hurt people. I thought he was rather helping people. I went into Theodore's room and searched his drawers for any weapon at all. I just needed to release stress. The fearless, confident, and bitchy Andrea I had managed to keep hidden in the closet for two years has now come back strong. The old Andrea is gone all thanks to Theodore Black. I found a dagger with his name engraved on the handle and I took it. I already had his gun safely tucked into the waistband of my jeans so I walked into his built-in gym. There was a dartboard in the middle of the room along with all other equipment for exercises. I went ahead to the dartboard and took out the gun. I aimed for the center and shot successfully hitting my target. I did that for a while before I heard someone clap. "A gun in those delicate hands does
Theodore's POV"Why would she be naked if she was with you?" I asked my brother. I have always loved pissing him off but today this was different. It was Andrea we were talking about.Last night I had witnessed everything that happened between Xavier and Andrea but when I tried to talk to her she just shut me out and that hurt like a bitch. I went straight to Xavier's room and said some... colourful words to him but I realized he was way too drunk to understand what just happened so yelling at him was equivalent to talking to a rock so I decided to leave him alone and rather talk to him this morning when he is more sober.When he woke up this morning, he went about his daily duties like nothing had happened but of course he had a headache from drinking last night. I assumed he had forgotten about everything he said to Andrea and honestly, I was mad at him. I get it she has some secrets which both of us didn't know but that was no way to treat her. Even he had his own secrets and if
"We're making ten rules," Xavier said, "Rule number 1: No matter how angry we are at each other our favorite ice cream should solve the problem." "Good. That way I wouldn't have to be all depressed about your mood swings," I said giggling. "Hahaha very funny," he mocked, "your turn to make up a rule." "Okay so rule number 2: We should be happy for each other's successes," I said smiling. "Good one," Xavier praised, "Rule number 3: If you are doing something you can't tell your best friend about then you shouldn't do it." "Rule number 4: No secrets," I said. I didn't want to keep anything away from him anymore. "No secrets," he repeated. "Rule number 5: Only your bestie has to know about your birthday wish," he said with a smirk. "Now that's just petty. You just want to know what I wish for," I complained but he just shrugged in response. I sighed, "Rule number 6: If your friends are being mean to your best friend you should stand up for your bestie no matter what." "Rule number 7
