Thank you for reading.
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
Mia.Distress. Extreme suffocating pain keeps pulling at my heart.I should have never indulged in matters of the heart without knowing how to handle them.I didn't even give myself time to grieve over my father. I depended too much on Rico, and he left.I was ready for him.I thought he was into me but no. I fell for the wrong guy.The man simply left me on his bed, helpless and crying, and just disappeared. Today marks the third day, and I haven't seen or heard from him.I lack the strength to call Rico. Carl reaches out though. He tries to make me understand that he is just confused and he will be back.Carl said that they don't know where he is either, and everyone is trying their best to find him.I believe if the man cared even a little bit for me, he won't be doing this. Rico won't be comfortable hurting me without a valid reason. I finally close my laptop with a tired sigh. I chose to bury myself in work, it was the only way I could think of to lessen the pain. If I can't ha
Mia.Hesitantly, I alight from Carl's car and cautiously look around me. I am not confident with my decision.What am I going to say when I enter that house?"Don't leave without me please " I tell Carl and he nods in affirmation. He is my ride here and in case his brother kicks me out, I will need a lift back home.With slow unsure steps, I trudge toward the cabin clutching at my jacket and pulling it together to my freezing body. It's crazy how cold it is out here.The breeze is harsh on my bare thighs, causing goosebumps to appear and I blame Carl for not giving me a heads-up. I should have dressed warmly. I slowly push the front door and I'm thankful it's not closed. Where could he be?My question is answered when the slow rap music leads me to the balcony. The man himself is sprawled on the sofa, eyes closed, and with this horrid weather, Rico doesn't have a shirt on.I can't get over his body.I was so ready for him the other day but he chose not to touch me. I can't wake him u
Mia."Are you okay, did I hurt you?" he whispers, gently running his thumb on my flushed cheek. His eyes are so tender and the way they stare down at me, makes my heart swell with immense joy.I can't believe I just did it and it was amazing."No" I shake my head leaning into his touch.Fuck! I love him so much. I want this man to myself all days of my life. "Thank you for trusting me, baby. I..I...i" he quickly looks away when he couldn't complete his sentence and I know why."You don't have to tell me anything" I whisper pulling his head to my lips. "It doesn't matter to me, Rico. You are all I want, with your every flaw and the darkness that surrounds you""But you deserve so much better sweetheart, you deserve the world" "Then be my world. I don't want to exist in a place you aren't. " I sincerely murmur and it silences him. For the first time since I met rico, his eyes hold a different emotion other than the obvious ones.Determination.After taking a warm shower with his help,
