Favorite Crime 26: Back to The Start
Five minutes had flown and the blonde was still blushing. It was a good thing that the green-haired woman was not able to face her otherwise she would have seen the effect that she was giving her because of their current situation. Not only was she worried about her red cheeks but she was also worried that the latter might actually hear how loud her heart was currently beating.The thing was that, Dakota did know. She could feel how the woman on her back had her heart beating fast, though she decided to not mention it for the dignity of the latter.“Are you sure I’m not heavy?” Olivia asked.“Jesus, Liv. That’s like the tenth time you’ve asked me that,” Dakota responded as she let out a sigh before continuing in a serious tone, “You are light as hell, alright? I swear to God, I’ll drop you right here on the ground if you ask me that one more time.”“So, I am actually heavy? I mean, you just said you’ll drop me if I don’t ask again which means that responding to me while carrying me on
Favorite Crime 27: Unusual Feelings
Potatoes are the best. It could beat every dish made by gourmets.Olivia actually enjoyed eating more with Dakota at the potato restaurant than with Theodore at the five-star restaurant from a couple of days ago. Because of that, she regretted avoiding going to that street for almost her entire life.The two women got up from their table as soon as they were done eating as they were about to leave when the owner of the restaurant stopped them from leaving. The blonde stood there as she watched her pull the green-haired woman’s sleeve to the side.“So, is that her?” Hilary whispered to Dakota’s ear, not wanting the blonde to hear what they were talking about.“Yes, it’s her. But don’t bring it up in front of her,” Dakota replied with a poker face. “Don’t pretend like you know her too.”“Oh, seriously? How can I when you literally talk about her like—” The owner was not able to finish her sentence when the gangster abruptly placed her hand on her mouth.Olivia raised an eyebrow and felt
Favorite Crime 28: Dead Fire
It was Friday, and also a day-off for Olivia.Fortunately, Theodore still had to go to work so the blonde basically had the entire condo unit for herself. Her boyfriend wanted to skip work for the day and have another round with her when he woke up earlier in the morning because of his excitement from the blonde’s first initiation last night, but the blonde insisted and insisted until he gave up and eventually left to work. If not for her frustration on Dakota last night, Olivia would not have had sex with him.It was basically a lazy day. Olivia neither had any hobbies to waste her time on nor any friends to hang out with. She never kept in touch with Ashleigh, Mia, and Lana or anyone she knew in high school as soon as she moved to the UK with Theodore—which was why she had no friends in Flyve City anymore. Though the blonde did not have any regrets on ghosting them since she had always known that they only became her friend for their reputation and the power to bully anyone.While l
Favorite Crime 29: Business
People eventually forgot about the little scene that the middle-aged woman caused at the counter earlier, fortunately. Though that did not mean that some of the people would stop throwing secret glances on the green-haired woman.Olivia let out a silent sigh as she slightly furrowed her eyebrows when she noticed how some of the people were either giggling or looking terrified while looking at the woman who was scrolling on her phone right across her.“So…” Dakota immediately lifted her gaze from the screen of her phone. “What are you doing here in the mall?”“For some business,” she simply answered as she slipped her phone back in her pocket.The blonde nodded in response, not wanting to be nosy about it. The memory of meeting Leo earlier kept reappearing in her mind as she thought of telling the woman across her about it though she was having hesitations about it for some reason. Dakota had never talked to her about Lia and Leo, so she could not completely confirm that they were in t
Favorite Crime 30: Shot Heart
Thinking about Olivia stopped being Dakota’s full-time job ever since she got out of juvenile detention center—it only became a part-time job now as she had plenty of things to handle for her gang.A week had passed since the green-haired woman saw the blonde though she did not really notice it because of how busy she had been in handling her businesses. One of the members of her gang ending up as a traitor in exchange of money made them busier than ever as they had to trace every person that he had been in contact with in case he spilled the information about their drug business to people other than the boss of Blood Trouble, which was the second most powerful gang in Flyve City and Dead Soul’s main rival.After receiving a call from Ruby, Dakota did not waste any time as she immediately told Knives to come with her to the location that her rival gave for them to meet up. Since they would surely be talking about drugs, it was already expected that they would be going to a place that
Favorite Crime 31: Poisoned Apple
The two scariest women in the country stood across each other with completely different expressions on their faces. It was like how the gloomiest person that resembles the dark night finally meets the brightest person that resembles the shining sun.“You tricked us,” Dakota spoke, ignoring what the latter had just said.“Not really. I know you wouldn’t die anyway.” Ruby let out a chortle.The green-haired woman internally rolled her eyes as she returned her gun back in her blazer. “So, what do you want? Don’t tell me you just called us here to try to kill us?”“What if that’s right?” The green-eyed woman playfully smirked as she stepped closer to the latter and dusted her blazer before resting her hands on the taller woman’s broad shoulders.“Just tell me what you want.”Ruby let out a chuckle in amusement at how short her rival’s patience was, and she loved it—she loved the fact that she was literally annoying her.Dakota just calmly stood still on her place even while Ruby was cares
Favorite Crime 32: In Life
The sound of the elevator arriving to the desired floor rang as the two women blankly stared at the steel door, waiting for it to open. The fancy lights greeted them as they stepped out to the lobby where plenty of people were roaming around in.Everything about the hotel screamed expensiveness as by the looks of it, one could guess that booking a hotel room for one night would undoubtedly cost more than 200 dollars. The polished cream tiles were shiny under the light that came from the big chandeliers on the ceiling. There were couches with the best material found in the country on the corner for guests to wait.All the hard work that Dakota had spent for the past years were worth it as she was able to build one of the biggest hotels in Flyve City. Keeping herself busy only for her gang business would be a bit risky so she decided to create a hotel business to cover up Dead Soul.One of Dakota’s men told her that someone who claimed to be important was waiting for her at the lobby wi
Favorite Crime 33: Truth Splash
Aside from having dinner with her father and stepmother, the other kind of dinner that the blonde hated the most was with people whom she had no sincere relationships with.As soon as Olivia’s shift was over, she was supposed to head back home when she received a phone call coming from one of the people that she never expected to be speaking to again after a decade.Even if she told them plenty of times that she was exhausted from work, they did not care as they continued to insist her on coming. With how they were using manipulation to make her come made her realize that karma was definitely getting her at that moment. Olivia used to make people do whatever she wanted by manipulating her back then, and now she was the victim.When Theodore’s name was brought up, the blonde could only let out a sigh before finally agreeing to come to the dinner. She was still upset about what he said back at the dinner with their families even though she stopped making it obvious and kept acting like
