She was so angry at her father but she didn't know how to take it out or who to take it and on. Isla had been sad, disappointed, and glum before but rarely was she ever as furious as she was at the moment.
Her eyes landed on the open window of her room with the tree swinging side to side outside it and she did the only rational thing she could think of.
Getting a strong grip on the nearest branch she swung herself and climbed down as she had so many times previously.She had decided to sneak of to the pool house where hopefully Alexander was back from his errand. Maybe he could make her feel better like he usually did.
She reached the pool house and took a peek inside the pool house from the glass door, only the kitchen light seemed to be on but that was understandable sin
A week of stolen kisses and sneaky romance passed by since they made their relationship official. The sneaking around had its own thrill and they had both gotten pretty good at it, plus, Isla had made it a habit to sneak over to the pool house and sleep on top of him instead of in her own bedroom and since then Alexander had been distracted enough from thoughts of her on his mind that his nightmares had gotten infrequent and he was getting proper sleep, waking up in the morning to the beautiful sight of her face.Mr. Gambino was holding his annual party at night. He hosted one every year apparently it was a Gambino family tradition. Isla was skipping around the mansion with Ace, looking at all the decorations, Alexander close behind."Miss Prim always does an immaculate job with the party planning even last year masquerade theme party was well planned" Isla complimented as Ace ran off to annoy one of the workers by tugging at their pants.Isla was quick to learn
Isla sipped her chai latte and took a bite of the maple dripping pancake with a magazine in one hand as she looked at Alexander with big blue eyes shining with mischief, sideways and he gave her a look of disapproval but there was the look of mirth on his face too as he saw the sight of her in front of him with the maple syrup dripping down her chin and onto the cleavage that her blue dress showed off as a toothy grin plastered on her face.He couldn't decide if the moment was cute or erotic, it was both most of the time with her.As Isla flipped the page with one of her sticky fingers trying as hard as she could not to get syrup on it, a flyer flew out from in between the magazine pages, landing right at Alexander's foot where he stood guard.He bend down and picked the shiny, colourful flyer from his feet but before he had a chance to read what was on it Isla took his from his hand with her sticky fingers."OOOOH interesting, there is appare
Alexander woke up to the buzzing of his phone on the bedside table as he squinted at the faint blue light the illuminated from the phone.He looked down at Isla who was soundlessly sleeping on him, making him her personal mattress, she stirred a little at the commotion but went right back to her slumber as Alexander's fingers weaved through her silky strands with one hand as he picked up and answered his phone with the other, looking at the caller ID to see it was one of the security team members."What is it?" he asked, voice groggy as he massaged his temples to get the sleep away."We have an urgent thing to take care of. Meet us at the compound in ten to lay out the plan" the guard said making Alexander scowl."Fucking hell. Fine" with that he hung up keeping the phone back.He was not at all happy to be woken up from such a blissful sleep at 3 in the morning. They can count on him being a cranky ass mother fucker on that account.He kiss
"Oh my god what happened!" she exclaimed out rushing to his side.He was on the bed, shirtless, with a white bandage wrapped around his abdomen and a little blood peaking out from the left side.He knew she was going to freak out as much as he didn't want her to, it was inevitable even though he had gone through a lot worse.She was by his side inspecting him in no time as her eyes glassed over with tears at the sight of him hurt."Hey, it's okay it's okay. I am alright no need to freak out" He said sitting up a little straighter with effort as he took a hold of her hand to calm her down as best as he could."No you're not t..there is b..bandages b..blood... how?" she asked looking him up and down for more injuries but found none to her relief."Sit baby" he said pulling her close and making her sit at his side which she did with care as to not aggravate his injury."Shouldn't you be at the hospital or something?" she asked worrying o
A week and a half passed to Alexander's injury, his stitches, even though healed were still a little sore but it was nothing he couldn't handle.During that whole time his little girlfriend had acted like a mother hen, making him food, feeding it to him and once she even went as far as offering to take him to the bathroom to which he declined with great emphasis. It was quite adoring for him that she was caring for him like that but only to a point and that line was drawn on when she made that offer. He was quite capable of doing stuff on his own it was only that he found it really endearing and she insisted was he letting her do stuff for him.What annoyed the hell out of him because of that injury was the fact that he wasn't able to keep an eye on Isla the whole day and they only got to be together during the night.However, today was going to be his first day back to duty since he got injured and maybe it was the anticipation of it that had him up early at 6
Alexander jabbed a punch to the right of the rookie recruit on the security team making the boy who was no older than 19 wince at the sudden pain and impact of the punch thrown at him."You never ever leave either of your sides unprotected like that boy, a skilled opponent would see that and strike, very well catching you off guard and knocking the earth out from below your feet. You need to remember that defense comes before the offense, you have to be able to defend your skin and stay alive in order to make your attack, come on, arms up again" Alexander ordered and the boy had his arms up again with determination on his black and blue face from the wind like unsuspecting blows that he had received from Alexander during the training.Alexander had been training the young rookie recruits that arrived at the wood Gambino compound just a few days before and the men who were watching them train in the rink, most definitely felt bad for those boys at the receiving en
It was yet again one of those days where Alexnder was nowhere to be seen the whole day because of him being away on another one of those missions and Isla had an incredibly boring day.She wanted to see him as soon as possible at night so she decided to just have dinner with at the pool house, have whatever he was gonna have, hence, she retired to her room earlier than usual without dinner and got ready to sneak out to see her boyfriend.As usual, almost like second nature she stepped on the nearest branch of the tree out of the window and got a wise grip on the one above, then she placed her right foot on the branch below the one she was on, this one was a little less thicker than the one she was already standing on. However, when she put her other foot down along with all her weight on that branch it snapped.Before Isla could even reach to grab the branch above her to keep herself from falling, she tumbled down along with the branch and ended up on the ground
"Oh thank god you came back I thought you were tired and left for the night" Isla breathed out a sigh of relief as she saw Alexander swinging a leg inside her room from the window.She felt too jittery to fall asleep and there was no way sleep would come easy to her without him especially not this Nigel and especially not when she had gotten so used to sleeping on top of him, all warm and snuggly."You really think I would leave you all alone, tonight of all nights? I would die worrying about your baby. You've already given me several heart attacks today to at least last a lifetime I am not letting you out of my sight if I can help it" Alexander said talking a seat beside her on the bed.She blushed at his comment as he lovingly and really stroked her cheek with the pad of his thumb, still flushed from the crying."We both seem to get injured lately, one way or another her huh?" she made a slight joke to let lighten the mood but her getting hurt was
