Jason released his grip and walked into the sitting room. "Let's be honest with ourselves, here. That's one of our promises." Jason looked at her and felt weak to talk but he had to. He narrated everything about himself to Rose from his childhood in the cartel to when he began to live with his new parents. He didn't leave the part where he was trained to be an assassin and how he killed numerous men in a twinkle of an eye. Rose's heart palpitated. She couldn't believe her ears but instead of letting her fears and doubts overwhelm her. She hugged Jason who expected rejection at the moment. "I'm not proud of you for all the people, you have killed, but I believe that everyone has a past, some are dirtier than this. Thank you for opening up to me." Jason stared at her in disbelief and she chuckled "Why are you staring at me like that? You thought I would run out of the house-" immediately he leaned closer and kissed her passionately. She kissed back, messing with his hair. He broke of
Stacy dressed casually. She had a black huge hoodie over white jeans trousers and a tiny white bag. Her sneakers were black with a touch of silver on its sole. She stood in Infront of the door, her hand on the knob, about to open the door but turned when she heard Jason's voice."We are going with you then" Jason blurted and Stacy's grip loosened on the door knob."We? What does he mean by "we"? It was like he read her thoughts. He walked over to Blaze who was seated at the game stand and pulled her closer to him. The close body contact made Stacy's heart skip and a trench of jealousy flashed on her face. She staggered a bit and tucked her hair behind her ear. "Oh? I didn't expect that" Blaze looked at Jason's mean face. Does he want to go to this length to stay with her? I'm a bit jealous. She pouted her lips and folded her arms. "Go change, I'll be waiting over the couch. Five minutes" Stacy uttered and went over to the couch mumbling. "Why must they be so close?" A sly smile cov
Samuel had arranged his apartment, eagerly waiting for Alya to come. He had pleaded with her to show up by nine pm today. He stomped his feet nervously, checking his watch consecutively and pacing around the room. All he wants this night is to get Stacy's number from Alya. He needs to speak with her... urgently.Immediately, he saw Alya through the window, he took a deep breath, walked up to the door and opened it. Alya had this blank expression on her face which he responded with a fake smile before letting her in and shutting the door. "What do you want to take?" He asked, staring at the quiet Alya."What do you want Samuel? You can't just call me out by this time for nothing?" She crossed her arm below her chest, arching her brow at him."Loosen up, babe. I've missed you. That's my reason." He smiled awkwardly and sat beside her. "Don't you remember all those fun times we had together" he tried to kiss her neck when Alya interrupted him by requesting water. Backing off, he nodde
Matteo sat down on his chair looking quite confused as he remembered all that happened. He could see himself watching Stacy while she observed some couple seated on a chair. She walks out grumpily to his car, the expression on her face was evidence of the anger that burns within her. Matteo stood there and gasped before going back to the place they stood before. It turned out that the couple they had observed was Jason and Blaze, the girl he saw the other day at his house. He walked up to them and greeted them. He observed Blaze's skin with bruises and immediately she covered it up and flashes a smile his way. "I didn't know you guys came""Yeah, we did, but couldn't finish the movie" Blaze replied, smiling awkwardly."Where's Stacy?" Jason's voice came out hoarsely as his eyes ran around the place with no sign of her. He stood up and plonked his brow at Matteo. "She's in my car"On getting to his car, he saw Stacy searching through his files. Jason came closer and opened the door, d
Footsteps could be heard from the extreme side of the garage. Their faces tilted to the sound and they met Jason coming towards them. Samuel stood upright, with narrowed eyes wondering who he was, As he came closer to them, his face became clearer and one of the pictures he saw in Alya's phone, flashed in. "Jason?" He thought still staring at him until he caught up to them. He lowered to Stacy's level and helped her with the papers on the floor. "How long have you been there?" She countered with curiosity all over her. Jason ignored the question and requested for the file to put the papers in. "That's the Samuel." He scoffed and stood up when he was done with arranging the file. "I can't remember telling you anything about him." Stacy mumbled as she slowly rose to her feet, behind Jason. Jason arched his brow at Samuel who stood confused, waiting for him to talk. Samuel tilted his head to where Stacy "Can we talk? Please." Stacy couldn't hold herself again, she walked out with the
Stacy nodded slowly and her gaze lowered to the floor while Jason paced around with his hand across his face. "Why didn't I get that part? It must have been hard for you, seeing her again."Stacy sighed and looked up to the perturbed Jason, releasing a chuckle "Don't worry, she's no longer here. At least, I won't get to see her for a while.""But I still don't understand," Jason muttered and turned to Stacy. "Alya helped me find you when you got lost. Was it because of me or you?" Stacy twirled in her chair, playing with a pen. "It was you, of course. Probably wanted to please you. She likes you." The look Jason gave her, made her laugh contentiously. "What?" Queried Stacy. He shook his head and folded his arm still wondering, while she admired him from afar, smiling at the thought of him. ********************************Blaze dragged her feet to the kitchen. Her eyes were dimmed and her hair messy, regret engulfed her. "Why am I so stupid?" She hit her head consecutively on the wa
AT THE CARTEL"What are you guys doing?" Xavier interrupted a group of boys who had been making noise since morning."Steph got himself a dating app." The group made funny noises and Steph sighed feeling quite embarrassed. "That's waste of time. Why would someone want to fall in love with someone he doesn't know? Is that how the so-called love works?" He rolled his eyes and pulled out a chair before sitting down. "It's not easy to match up too." Steph muttered, gaining a glance from Xavier who turned to his phone "So you think... I bet I would get lots of matches, if I get that app." He bragged and the boys made pathetic faces at Steph, knowing how he has been trying to get a match since morning. He looked at them and splutters before being covered in shame. "I bet you won't."The boys turned to Xavier with slacked jaws. "I will." replied Xavier The tension between the two was becoming thick. The boys noticed it and one of them banged on the table. "Bet! Bet!" He nodded at others
"Any news from Dre and Zan?" A feminine voice echoed in a room of extreme darkness. A young man stood in the centre with his head lowered to the floor. The moonlight seeped into the room through the wrecked iron window. His side face could be seen as well as the sweat dripping from his forehead. His heart thudded greatly, because of his inability to give a pleasing answer to the question directed to him. He hesitated before raising his head to the darkness In front of him. "It's been weeks and we have not heard from them""That means they failed... Failed their mission to capture Blaze." The voice came again and quite hoarse this time. The man abruptly lowered himself to the ground and his head resting on it. "Forgive me, mi lady. I have failed as well-" a dagger flew, past the man and thrust deep into the wooden door. "Capture Blaze! I won't pardon this incompetence again"The man hurriedly stood up, bowed and left the room in fear. The woman left her position and walked to the wind
