I can see she is thinking, and she seems to be struggling to find an answer to my question, and I can't blame her. She isn't used to being asked how she feels or why. I need to remember that, but asking her is a good thing.
She needs to get used to this."Honestly, I don't know. Part of me is worried for Marcello, he apologised, he shouldn't have, I tried talking to him, but I sensed he wanted me away so I left." I nod, I spoke to Marcello, so I know his worry."Look, Marcello is just worried. You said you would probably beg if you weren't under contract. Yet there's no way to be sure. He's not so worried about what he did, more he lost control, if we hadn't walked in, he more than likely would have fucked you. Or something else, then he would feel guilty."She laughs slightly."Why though? You keep telling me I'm not here for that, which is great, but if he wanted it and me, what's the issue?" There isn't an issue."There's no issue, nWaking up I glance around.I'm still in the sitting room, and a fluffy throw covers my body."He's fine. Just needs to be careful. The guy is dead, at least we don't have to worry about chasing the guy around and trying to find him." I hear Calix and stay quiet."You say he's fine, but he wasn't this morning Cal." I hear Marcello."I meant physically Marc, not mentally. Give him a chance to come back to reality. Don't push him, Marc, I know you. Don't tell him he shouldn't have tried to protect you, had he not you would be dead."Calix's words shock me."I won't, I didn't even see him coming at me with the knife," Marcello explains."Well, I guess you stay here today. Keep a watch on him, Marc, he might slip again. Doubtful but we never know." Calix sounds hurt, and I want to know what has happened but at the same time, I don't want to know."When do you plan to wake her Cal?" He means me."Soon, she missed breakfast but she c
Demitri has stayed hidden away all day. I look at him, wondering when he will finally speak. I stay quiet, watching the time pass.Hearing my phone I hit answer, and hold it to my ear. I know Cal will be calling to check on Demitri."Yep?" I watch as Demitri lifts his head hearing me."Come to the offices, I need you to personally confirm these numbers before I act.""Act on what Cal? What have you found?" Demitri sits up more hearing me."Working out money. Gold Cadence, over eighty thousand gone, over three separate dates.""Na, you worked something out wrong, no way would no one not notice eighty thousand drop." I hope anyway."Just get here. Hurry." He hangs up, grabbing keys I walk to the door hearing Demitri follow. Turning I look at him."Maybe not the best idea D, You're not exactly mentally sound right now." We can't have him killing someone instantly."I'm fine. I'm coming." He walks past me and out, giving up
Calix opens the door and holds it for us. Walking in I am in awe, I haven't ever been in a place like this. The glass chandeliers are huge. The whole place is busy, the women look exquisite and expensive, just like the men do.I can see what Marcello meant, the few places I have been to in the city are either underground places, or just nice.We walk through and I ignore everything, just fascinated by the place. We end up in a private room, and Demitri sits pulling me next to him. His head rests against my shoulder, and it is strange. I'm used to his usual self."Can you get Alesandro please Mandy?" Calix smiles at the woman as she hands them a drink and me."Sure thing Calix. I will go get him now." She turns to walk off and Marcello stops him."Don't mention we're here. Just tell him someone wants him. I have a feeling he will run if he knows we're here." Marcello smiles at her and winks.Nodding she leaves and the door shuts."Right,
The drive home is silent. I wait, and he doesn't speak. Giving in, I turn and look towards him."Come on Calix, your brain must be hurting right now holding it all in." I laugh slightly waiting."Holding what in?" He turns and looks at me confused."You're playing dumb? I mean you thinking of ways to tell me I can't fuck Demitri, and not to do it. How it is wrong, and not allowed." I watch him turn to see me briefly before his eyes go back to the road."That is yours and Demitri's choice.""Eh?" I look at him confused. "That's bullshit." I laugh slightly and he nods."Maybe it is puddin, or maybe it isn't. You are both grown-ass adults and can choose to make your own mistakes."Why is he acting weird? I stay staring at him, waiting for him to decide to talk, to be honest, and tell me it is wrong but he doesn't. Getting out we walk in, and Calix walks off claiming he needs to make a call.Demitri and Marcello look at me confused."Do
Me and my brothers have spent the morning working. Alesandro admitted to fixing games to ensure someone won, but we can't figure out who. The name he gave was fake, so it means someone is there he is working with.We never found out what Alesandro wanted the money for. I guess because Demitri went too far and he died before being able to answer all our questions."Hey, Troy messaged, check the group chat." I look up hearing Calix, wondering why Troy would message. Walking towards them I open the messages then stop. My eyes on the picture of Daisy sitting in a cafe looking for too comfortable with a guy."He said he asked her and she said no rules were set for if a guy asked her out." "I didn't think we would need rules. I assumed she would say no!" We were wrong clearly, we had all said she would say no because of us, but she said yes."So we visiting her?" Demitri smiles and I nod."Sure, let's go date crash." I laugh and get on the bike, I follow behind them, and we stand outside
I sit quietly in the car, wondering what the hell just happened. I expected them to refuse, I didn't expect Demitri to agree and give him a time to pick me up for this date. I saw Alex, and I know while we are going on this date he won't contact me again, it was clear he was going to run the moment he noticed they knew me. I will enjoy tonight though, a date. My first real date. I laugh at the thought and Troy shakes his head."I know, okay." It was a crazy move. "I'm more shocked Demitri agreed, but I guess you have a date that I need to escort you to." He laughs and I nod. Getting out I walk into the house, Troy carrying my bags. Getting in I take them from him and go into my room and put them away. I must spend an hour looking through everything. I have no idea what to wear. Sure Alex said for a meal, but does that a meal where I wear a long gown, or just something casual? I feel myself panic as I sit looking through the clothes. "Daisy." Turning I look at Demitri. Is this wher
I decided to steal Marcello's idea and stay at home, I am all for her having freedom but something about her dating a guy feels too far. I doubt I could sit there and watch her either.Sitting together we do work, I'm still trying to figure out who was at the casino that Alesandro would have let win to gain the money.I hear the door and look up, Demitri walks in and behind him Daisy, my eyes widen when I see her. The dress is ripped open, and her hair is a mess. She doesn't say anything just runs past crying and I hear her door lock."What did you do?" I look at Demitri"You think I did that! Fuck off, Calix. He can explain." I watch as he points to Troy. Stepping forward I look at him."She was fine, everything was fine. She went to the toilet and didn't come back out. After a few minutes, I went in and found her screaming and fighting Alex off." "He's dead right?" I watch as Demitri shakes his head."Daisy ran out, I had hold of him, but at that moment it was either stay and kill
I get showered and walk to the kitchen. Standing I cook breakfast, trying to forget what happened. Placing the food on the table I look around. Unable to see them I look to Troy."Which room are they in?" They should eat."Not a room for you. If you want them I will message." He looks at me and I nod."Not urgent, just thought they should eat." I sit and decide to eat myself a few minutes later they walk through."Thank you little birdie." Demitri smiles at me and I nod."I see you cleaned up." He looks at me confused and I laugh. "You missed some blood." He looks down at his hands confused and I laugh."Fucking brat." Smiling I nod, there is no blood, but I know what there would have been."Right, eat, as you're having lessons with Demitri today." Turning I look at Calix."Why today?" I should be working."After last night we decided you should do at least one hour of training a day. Then things like last night, if it happens again, you won't be defenceless." I laugh slightly. "I
