Step One; Don't Fall The game has just started
NOAH“Find a way to make it up to the man.” Nancy’s words float at the back of my mind once again, two days after the whole weekend debacle. “Apologize again, buy the guy lunch, maybe even cook dinner for him…”That proved to be easier said than done by the end of the second day.Theo’s modus operandi, if I can call it that, after that day became what he was used to—avoiding me every single time we were in the same room or just flat out ignoring my existence. So imagine my surprise when I receive a notification a few minutes into prepping the ingredients for dinner with Nancy, open my phone, and find a text from Mr. Grouchy himself.My heart skips a beat the moment I read the content.CAPTAIN: Stop texting me, Noam.CAPTAIN: You’re making me miss important updates.Shit.He even manages to get my name wrong on text.Anyway, yes, I might have been texting Theo like some crazy ex ever since Nancy gave me that advice. Don’t blame me. And naturally, I never receive a response.ME: Very, v
Step One; Don't Fall Just go home
NOAHI’ve always liked the way the Order keeps their workers in the loop when it comes to new and old cases. They send a new text everyday—updates about an old case, information on the new ones.Orderly.I liked it. Gets me in the mood for work instantly.Today, however, the familiar ping from my phone which notifies me of their text doesn’t send a thrill down my spine. In fact, I’m more than tempted to throw my phone across the room the moment I read the contents of said text.Follow the Mayor.On any other day of the week, it won’t matter. I’ll do what they want without blinking an eye because that’s what I’m paid to do, but it’s Saturday and I have that stupid training with the kids and the captain.How on earth will I do my job and team bond with the Captain at the same time?Maybe…Theo’s body suddenly appears right in front of me, the scent from his cologne clouding my senses and making it impossible to think. He’s holding onto his bag and is fully dressed—plain tee, black jogge
Step One; Don't Fall Being watched
THEODORELong, slender fingers find their way beneath my jaw, stroking it softly before tilting my head upward, while the other hand snakes round my waist, pulling me close. As always, the owner of the hands has no face—only hazel eyes that stare down at me with such tenderness, reflecting my own face back at me.“Beautiful,” he says smoothly, that familiar tone sending a thrill down my spine. “I’ve never seen anyone as beautiful as you.”“I…” I try to say, but the words stick in my throat, unable to push themselves out.“Theo…”“I…” I try again.“Theo…”CLANGMy eyes fly open as the sound of metal hitting metal reaches my ears and almost makes me jump off the bed. Between Noah and his early morning cooking or Sue’s constant fucking, I have no idea which I hate the most.Once I’m used to the racket happening in the kitchen, I lean back against my bed and cross my arms as memories of last night, which I’d rather forget, come rushing back.A finger stroking my bottom lip.A finger I’m p
Step One; Don't Fall Are you about to kiss me?
NOAHNathan.Nico.Nova.Every N name on the planet except my actual name. Like it’s a curse.“Woah, woah, careful, love.” Nancy’s shrill laugh stops me from smacking her straight on the face with the curved end of the laptop. I lay it softly on the empty space between us. “I said pass the laptop, not fucking destroy my jaw.”We’re currently sitting in her car, going through most of my projects for the Order and some actual school work. Though not an original mafia kid, Nancy adapts quickly and knows exactly what she’s doing. She’s one of the fiercest and skilled fighters I know, second only to her Uncle Lucian.“I’m sorry,” I say quickly. But my eyes are on my knuckles which are turning white as I clench my hand tighter and tighter with every passing second. “Do you think that was his girlfriend?”“Who?”“Theodore, my roommate.That’s the thing, right? Theodore has to be dating her because I’ve never seen the man engage in with the opposite sex throughout the year—even a friends with
Step One; Don't Fall Typical rich boy
THEODORE“Having a baby is no joke, idiot,” Lucas says for the fifth time today to the brown haired man sitting by his side, who has his whole head buried in a computer as he scrolls through apartment listings close to college. The affordable ones. “Do you even make enough to cover the rent?” He smacks the side of his head before taking a bite from the apple in his other hand.Talk about tough love.Raphael smacks him right back. “Mom said she’ll help me with the rent for the first three months.”I tilt my head backwards and suppress my groan. Conversations like this are not my ideal way of passing time during my free days but my so-called roommate having people over for a study session, this becomes my haven. It takes me less than a second to realize that having fun at the expense of Raphael just makes me sick.“Then what happens at the end of three months?” I find myself asking in that hoarse voice, the words scratching at the back of my throat. “You don’t have a job, Raphael.”Marcu
Step One; Don't Fall Please, excuse me
NOAH“You’re stuck with me till then.”If someone told me I would do something like that a week ago, I never would have believed. And with that came the plan to stay out of his way, follow him and watch him dance, and do my job.Simple.But nothing about the Captain is simple.I take a bite of my doritos, eyes on my phone as I scan through the list of work related activities from the Order as fast as I can. Theo isn’t home right now. Apparently, he has some sort of study session with a few of the guys from the team. Something I’m not invited to.Obviously.“What are you up to, Mr. Blake?” I whisper, swallowing the last piece of my snack just at the same time the door opened and in came Mr. Grouchy pants himself and one of the guys. Lucas.Speak of the devil or some shit.Lucas sweeps his dark hair from his face and claps me on the back. “What’s up, man?” He takes the second bag of doritos and opens it, grabbing a handful. “I feel like I hardly see you after practice. You hate us or so
