Thank you for reading.
Rico "Have you seen Mia?" I question her friend and she worriedly shakes her head indicating no. "I can't find her anywhere, she said she was going to change but she just disappeared" The girl stressfully whispers looking around us."Fuck, I will call her," I say pulling out my phone. Where did she go? I need to see her."No need Rico, I have her phone" Bella raises the said phone and I sigh putting mine away. "Can you please check her at the graveyard? She always goes there when she is stressed" I nod in thanks and quickly get on my bike. She doesn't deserve what that fucker did. I can't believe she didn't tell us about Ryan all along. I knew that old man can't be trusted. That must be the reason he was scowling at me during the fight. He was worried that I would be a distraction to his plans. Today is her birthday and this fuckers just had to ruin it. When Alessio invited me, I had anticipated finding a big crowd. But no one was there, surprisingly. After an hour or so, only h
My brother proposed that before the family reunion at Mum's, we should visit this new club in town for drinks or so.I was not into this, I'm better off alone and Carl knows it. I don't care if I have a relationship with any of our relatives or not.I haven't even asked Mia if she's coming. She is always busy.I miss her. For the sake of my mum, also because she's the one who came up with the idea, I can't say no.She is the only person that will tell me to do shit and I do. That woman stuck with me every second of my life and I owe it to her."Does this club belong to the bitch everyone is talking about?" Kay asks staring at the building in front of us, and that makes me glimpse at her a bit dumbfounded. Does she hate the owner or something?"Oh! Is the bitch hot!? " Marcello dreamingly retorts and I keep out of their conversation.It doesn't concern me.Two steps to the entrance, two guys stop us by roughly pushing Marcello, who stumbles three steps backward."Who do you think you
Mia.I don't know what he went through that makes him so sad and distant but I will gladly wait. I want him to trust me enough, to tell me the story behind that sadness. The sadness I'm willing to wipe away. The thought of him standing up for her made me so upset that I almost cried. I don't know anything about the girl but they seem close.I also didn't know the man I'm falling for had a twin brother. Fuck! This is the part where I scold myself.I should consider every detail around me so I won't be caught unaware. Alessio didn't mention this either.Maybe he doesn't know how close Rico and I have become.Rico looks exactly like his brother. If it wasn't for the ample amount of tattoos his brother has, it would be impossible to tell one from another.I just hope he opens up soon. Rico knows almost everything about me and it's only fair he lets me in too.I am glad his walls are finally crumbling though. It's just a matter of time. "Mmh" a throat clears behind me and I don't move, a
Rico "Is that her friend?" Marcello mumbles, while staring at the departing girls."I never thought I could say this, but you deserve it, bro " Ed pats my shoulder, and I nod in acknowledgment. At least he acts mature compared to the other idiot.Arguing with Marcello is a complete waste of time, and I can't imagine Myself doing that."Yeah, I'm happy for you, brother," Carl adds, and I nod as I watch her swing her ass. Eyes on me. I can tell her aim is to make me uncomfortable.She is a crazy dancer. Mia has no idea how her movements turn me on. That girl caught my interest the first time I saw her on the dancing floor. She moves her body so perfectly like she was meant just for that."I'm sorry Rico, she seems nice," Kay Mumbles smiling at her entertaining form. Mia is nothing close to a bitch. She treats everyone around her with kindness. If you didn't know her, you wouldn't guess she was a billionaire.A clean soul that makes me fall every second I stare at her.I want to protec
Mia. Like he promised yesterday, Rico picked me up exactly at 7, but something was wrong with him. His previous neat clothes were bloody, and he didn't speak a word to me. In fact, we were in the same car but all he did was clench his jaw and bloody knuckles. No doubt he must have gotten into a fight with someone. What worries me is why he chose to ignore my presence. As soon as he pulled over to his mum's house, Rico disappeared into the house, leaving me stranded beside his car. If it was not for Carl and his mum talking to me about staying, I would be home right now. They were so generous to show me his room but he wasn't there either. I waited for the whole night and the man didn't show up. I feel like crap. My heart is aching. Is this the weekend he wanted us to spend? As long as I can remember, I didn't do anything wrong to him. Or did I? Waking up alone this morning, the first thing I did was find the kitchen because I was extremely hungry. I couldn't have dinner with str
Mia."Sit down honey" she gestures on the wooden seat across from her and I do as told.The sun is a bit harsh today and it's giving me the urge to swim. It's been a long time since I got in a pool anyway."Do you need any drink?" she asks and I quickly refuse. "No, thank you"I like how her garden is well taken care of. Different types of fruit trees are all over, and the flowers look amazing.It feels homely here."You have a nice home" I complement staring at the two swings at the far end of the garden. I would have relaxed there if I was to stay."Thank you dear," she gratefully smiles. The boys took their good looks from their mother. The dark hair and brown eyes. Her eyes have a light shade compared to the twins though." I wanted to talk to you about Rico" Her countenance completely changes and I furrow my brows in confusion. Did something happen to him yesterday?""What about Rico? I hope everything is okay?" I worriedly question, placing my elbows on the table and leaning for
Mia. Screams. The breaking of glasses and shouts from downstairs intrudes my deep slumber. Cautiously, I get out of bed and grab my gun from the bedside drawer. He didn't come to bed last night again.His spot is empty and cold like it was when I slept. Where the hell did he go? The noises intensify and I am compelled to proceed to check. I might be sleeping while people are dying out there. Grabbing Rico's jacket from the couch, I drape it on my shoulders and zip it up. I hide the gun in the large pockets and quickly exit the room.The noises are coming from the living room. Everyone is present, and the sight of Rico makes my steps halt on the stairs. Everything in the living room is either broken or carelessly thrown around. Shards of glass are scattered everywhere, and I regret not wearing shoes in the first place. What is wrong with him? Like yesterday, his knuckles are bloody and tightly clenched. He is breathing so loud, I can hear him from where I'm standing. "Calm down
Rico."Let me go, Rico, what do you think you are doing?" she screams but I ignore her cries locking the door behind me.Mia is the best thing that ever happened to me, and I'm so dumb for not treating her right. I saw it in her eyes.She was giving up and I couldn't let her walk out of that door. Mum and Carl saw it too. If I let her walk out, I know the chances of her coming back are minimal. I was supposed to be there for her but all I do is push her away when we get close. Not anymore.Carl talked sense into me and I think he was right."You wanted me gone right? Then why are you stopping me?" She breathes hard as I gently place her in my bed.Mia immediately sits up with the intention to leave but I quickly push her back down and carefully lay on top of her."Rico.." her words are swallowed when I gently press my lips on hers, surprising all of us.I was not going to, I just don't know how to calm her down and it worked. I wouldn't have a conversation with an angry Mia.Mia doesn
