I practice a little more and when we are both done training we head back upstairs when we meet a guy. Rexford does a handshake with him and I introduce myself. "Hi I'm Lucy" I wave."Lucy and Rexford Reynolds huh?" He says. His name is apparently Chris and he does seem like a nice person. He has light brown hair and is as tall as Rexford . His green eyes and freckles make him look cute."Let me introduce you to my most loyal guard." Rexford says. "Hey man, is that how you introduce me? I'm Rexford's best friend" he says. It's hard to think anyone would want to be his friend since he doesn't talk to other people that much. But I'm glad he has him."Nice to meet you Chris " I say as I give him a soft smile, Rexford moves closer to me."How come I've never seen you around before?" I ask him because if he is close to Rexford I should have seen him at the house."Ask Rexford he's the one being weird for about a month, letting me do all the work for him" he says smiling. What does he mean w
"Get away from this place, go" I say to the girl and she runs away from this hell. Rexford takes my hand and holds it in his. He opens his car door and points for me to get in. He gets in the back seat with me as the driver takes us home. It's silent in the car. His leg is bouncing up and down.I realize that he's stressed. I've ruined everything for him. I place my hand on his leg. Making him stop. "I'm sorry I ruined it but I couldn't just stand there" I say.His face softens when he looks at me. "You did the right thing" he tells me. Although I know he's really mad right now."Why didn't you kill me?" I ask as I take away my hand. He only looks at me, not answering. We arrive and get inside the mansion. I follow him up and into his bedroom. "I wanted to just thank you for... you know, not killing me." I say smiling. He nods. "But really why didn't you just pull the trigger?" I ask again because I never got an answer.He comes closer to me and pushes me up against the wall. Our bodi
My head hurts. It's hard to open my eyes but I try. I'm on a mattress on the floor. When I have fully opened my eyes I try to sit up. Resting my back on the wall.It's almost empty in here. Other than the mattress there is unopened boxes on the corners. On the box beside me there is one glass of water and a sandwich.I stand up to get to the door that's in front of me. "Help!" I scream as I kick the door. I bang on it a few times but no one answers. I fall back to the floor now crying. I've never been this afraid in my life. I don't even know where I am, for how long I've been asleep, or who these guys are. Rexford probably is not even looking for me since he hates me so much. Maybe they took him too.I'm so worried about him. What if they killed him. The old me would be very happy about him dying but now I'm terrified. What if he's dead. I keep thinking.I cry for what feels like a decade. When a man in a white suit enters the room."Hello beautiful" he says, stepping a bit close
REXFORD'S POV Lucy is sleeping in her room. Chris walks in and wants to talk to me. "Hey man" he says and I nod in response. "I think it's time to talk" Chris says and I wait for him to talk."About Lucy" he pauses. "You have changed a lot since you've met her. You've become this man no one's ever seen, she is doing things to you and you have to put an end to it" I let him finish. "It's putting you and her in danger. You used to fuck new girls every week and now all you think about is her. You can't let a girl come before the Mafia. It has always been the Mafia before love and now you are doing the opposite."I rub my forehead in frustration."All she does is being good to people why can't you all be just like her" i say knowing this all is bad for her. My life is nothing I would want to give her. "You make very bad decisions because of her, Rexford and now you put her and yourself in danger" Chris says and I know it's true. I am dangerous to everyone near me. I would never hurt he
The next morning I get ready early in the morning since they open at 8. I hurry to eat breakfast. "Why are you in such a hurry?" Alex asks."I don't want to be late for work"I wait for his reaction as I keep eating. "You got the job! Ohhh I'm so happy for you" he says, giving me a pat on the shoulder."I know I'm amazing" I say in a sarcastic way, giving myself a compliment. We both laugh at that."Why are you two up so early?" mom says, watching us from a distance. Alex mouths the words 'she got the job' beside me. "Oh honey that's amazing, we will visit to get milkshakes sometime." She says and I nod. "Time to leave" I say, chewing the last bit of sandwich I have left.My father has had a lot of work lately so he hasn't cared about why I've been at home for two weeks. Since he thinks Rexford just sent me here to see my family. When the reality is I was sent here because he never liked me. I get out of my thoughts as I leave.***"Okay, so we have a lot of flavors you need to keep i
"Wake up! Lucy wake up" a manly voice says touching my shoulder.Opening my eyes I look up at Rexford. "What the hell are you doing in my house?" I yelled, backing away from him. "We need to leave now, they are looking for you," he says, taking my arm and lifting me up.His touch was so soft against my skin. His beautiful face was staring at me. "Do you trust me" he says and I hesitate when I say "y...yes""Come with me then"I woke up in a sweat. Feeling so extremely hot I get in the shower. I stand under the cold water thinking about why he keeps invading my dreams. It's not fair. For him to move on and me still weeks later dreaming about him. What is wrong with me? I have to do something to forget him.and sit down. Alice comes in and takes a place beside me. "Hey, how are you feeling?" she says and I take a deep breath."I don't know," I say, playing with my hands."You know you can tell me anything," she smiles."You know the boy I married" I start. "Rexford ?" she says."Yes, him
Alvin kisses me back as he grabs my ass and waist. When we break the kiss I feel out of breath. I don't know why I even did that because I don't even like this guy. But the only person I can think of right now is Rexford . Alvin seems like he hasn't had enough and leans in for more. But we get interrupted."Let her go," a dark voice says from behind. Alvin stops and looks at the man standing behind me. I had wished this was another dream but he is here. Actually here. I turn around and my heart skips a beat when I see him. "Who are you?" Alvin says. His hand is still on my ass."If you keep touching her ass I will kill you" Rexford says so seriously, and Alvin doesn't move it. Mistake, a big mistake. "Fuck you man, get going" Alvin says and in seconds Rexford 's fist meets Alvin's cheek.Alvin falls on the sand as he tries to get back up Rexford gets on the ground and keeps punching him in the face. Alvin's nose is bleeding a lot and face swollen."Fucking touch her again and I will
When we step out of the car I help Alice to the door as Rexford walks behind. Alice steps inside her apartment. "Well thank you for the ride" I say. He gives me a smile then it fades away quickly. "Rexford I...I don't think this will ever work, I never liked you and you hated me, it's best if we never talk again" I say then before he can answer I close the door.It's hard knowing we won't speak again. And I lied. I liked him a lot but with time I will forget him. I already know that when father finds out Rexford kicked me out he's going to want to kill me. I'm scared but also angry that Rexford sent me home to my hell of a father.I take my shoes off and walk into the living room. Alice is on the red couch and I fall beside her. We are both so tired and drunk. It was a really bad idea to party so late when we have work tomorrow. "How are you feeling?" I asked her. She mumbles something I can not hear. Then after a while she says "I hope that man lives unhappily, you deserve som
