Living with the Enemy. 11. A Kid with a Temper.
Elena.The eldest eyed me profusely, almost as if she had her way, she'd chase me as faraway as possible, probably feed me to wild animals even.I began to look around instead, her room was like a wonderland for comic driven recluses. The walls were a deep red that pulsed in the light, sprinkled with various posters, mostly of strange Japanese cartoon shows. I doubted she could read whatever was written on the poster. Her comforter was pulled over her bed, even though she hadn't cleaned it. The result was lumps of varying sizes and shapes and the comforter was weighed down by her laptop. A desk sat in one corner, littered with wadded up pieces of paper and pens. A few shelves were pushed against the walls and filled with books. Some books sat on the floor in front of the shelves."Are you going to keep looking around my room like a fugitive or some spy or are you actually going to speak like a normal person? I mean even if you have nothing to say, you could just simply leave instead of
Living with the Enemy. 12. You don't need the Temptation.
Deangelo.As soon as they both left, I spoke up, "What's up with the Amato pack, did they get the memo that we left?" "They sure did, Alpha but is that really the bone of contention right now though?" Luca asked giving me a suspicious look that I didn't like.Luca and I have a kind of relationship that most members of my pack never understand, much more strangers. We have a boss-subordinate relationship yet we are best of friends. There is little to nothing that Luca doesn't know about me and I am sure that I could say the same about him too. He never left my side, not once, not ever, so even though he gives me the alpha respect that is expected from him, he's also one of the people who can turn around and speak sense into me in what other people may term disrespectful. "What do you mean, what else can be more important than anything that has to do with the Amato pack?" I asked as I poured some whiskey in two glasses, Luca took one from my hand and sipped slowly. We both stared at e
Living with the Enemy. 13. Snooping Around the Lion's Den.
Elena.It's daylight, bright, like a day for the beach but he is coming. He is coming and I can't stop him, I can't. I sent him money, all that I've made, and extra, I have begged him to simply let me go, to just leave me be, to forget that I ever existed, still he hunts me down these alleyways calling my name as if he were my friend - but in his hands is a knife and he means to twist it in my guts when he gets close. I have been running in scattered way, run and hide, rinse, repeat. Now my heart beats like it means to explode and my mind is a scattered mess. Then before I know it, I'm out in the open, running down the street like the devil himself is in pursuit. Only it's worse, my chaser is flesh and blood and means to send me straight to hell just the same. He's raging, malicious and he takes twisted delight in my fear. I should not have ran away, maybe I had no right to think I could ever escape him. He makes it seem like I should never have even gotten away from him, like he wa
Living with the Enemy. 14. The Choice is yours.
Elena.I don’t know how he managed to be that loud when he was supposed to keep his voice down since it's practically midnight and he could wake people up but then, I got the hunch that these rooms might actually be sound proofed so he didn't need to take that into consideration. Well... of course, they're sound proofed. This is an expensive house, no such house will lack that. His arm was stretched out wide, strangling the curtain with his grip, and for a few moments, I looked down and then I get sidetracked by the fact that he was not wearing anything. Again. He was naked. Naked. “Oh my God!” I squeaked, clenching my eyes shut. “Why are you in here?" “Oh my God. Oh my God,” I chanted, trying to dissolve into the tiles my spine was stuck to. “You’re naked. I thought you at least had your boxers on.” “What the fuck. Are you doing in my bathroom, Elena?” he growled, this time slowly. “Why do you always walk around naked? Do you sleep naked?” I asked instead, even though I was s
Living with the Enemy. 15. Book of Instructions.
Elena.I usually wake up as if it's an emergency, as if sleeping had become a dangerous thing. My heart beat fast and there was a buzzing in my brain and together, they are as panic with jump-leads. I woke up suddenly, every thought in high definition. My eyes take in every ray of light and without a doubt I know that I have slept too long. The noises are of a day in full swing.I relaxed back a bit as my mind went back to the previous night and the encounter with Mr. Deangelo as I wonder about what my fate will be. Thrown out? Locked up?I shut my eyes as I think back again to it all, most especially his stern and scary warning."Listen and listen carefully, I will not repeat this after this night. You have two options, you either be a good girl by following rules as you should in this home and I'll make sure you at least have a comfortable life in this pack or you keep on snooping around while ignoring what was assigned to you and I'll make sure you live a life that makes you think
Living with the Enemy. 16. This Crackle of attraction.
Elena."I'm so sorry about all of that, Elena. Do not take any of it to heart, Mia can be rude and cranky while Sofia can be... uh... Sofia. More time here and you'll get to know more about how to relate with her, she can be unbearing but she's not that bad, trust me." Mrs. Cali said to me as she went about her kitchen duties.I noticed how some other people of both genders joined her, some were cleaning while other washed. I didn't need anyone to tell me that they are the cleaners.I remained seated beside Camila who looked at me with concern, "Are you sure you didn't get told all of these though? Sofia seems so confident that she told you and gave the book to you." Camila said and I shook my head vehemently."She really didn't. At least, I don't remember hearing her say that ot even handing a book to me. This makes no sense at all, I would never have overslept if she had told me, why would I want to jeopardize my first day at work and my chance at a new life like that? I would never
Living with the Enemy. 17. Another Blue balls.
Deangelo.How much this girl affects me was starting to become unreal. It just didn't make any sense anymore, she was just another girl and I couldn't believe that she made me even think of having sex with Anna.I had been down so bad that I thought letting it all out after lacking sex for so long was what would get her out of my mind easily but I couldn't go through with it and I hope I don't end up going through because I know how much Anna would get clingy afterwards and start thinking that we can take it further. I do not want these attachments, not now. Not ever.I don’t need love. I don’t need acceptance or approval. I reject them before they can ever reject or accept me. Seeing her just now and being alone in the same space with her gave me another blue balls. My mouth had watered that I almost rose from the chair before I settled back again when she showed up. Her short dress had done nothing to stop my imaginations from running wild, I couldn't even help but wonder if she kn
Living with the Enemy. 18: Playing Arcade games.
Elena.The next day, I had an alarm given on the shelf in my room set, I didn't want to get told or have to go through the same mistake again. I then woke up the kids even though they were both grumpy, to drop them at school, one of the drivers which was also assigned as bodyguard for the kids assisted.I was also told that Mia returns back to school in her school bus in afternoon because she's involved in sports extra curricular activities that require her to stay in school for longer times and Diego is the one I have to go pick up. During the coming and going out of the Ferrari's estate, I knew I had to protect myself from being recognized or seen I'm the outside world so I always made sure to have a scarf and a facemask on at all times. I could afford being snatched away because of my own recklessness. I was quite happy and excited to be picking up Diego alone as I wanted the chance to be with him and get to connect with him. I even planned to take him to a park while we play arou
