“Damn. I definitely was not expecting that.” Jake replied, laughing a bit, the sound sharp and sudden which sounded foreign even to my ears. And I knew he hadn’t been prepared for the words that had just left my mouth.

“I’m sorry, Jake. I’m sorry you had to hear this, but I didn’t want to lie to you. That’s why I’m telling you the truth right now. I know you really like me, and I like you too, but right now I just don’t feel like I’m in the right frame of mind for a relationship. It has nothing

    “What? No fucking way.” Jamie gasped, and I could imagine his eyes turning into big saucers.“Yep. Fucking way,” I said, leaning back against the couch. “Apparently, he decided to check in on me. Like it was so weird I didn’t even know what to say. Heck I didn’t even know how to act, coupled with the fact that I had a shitty night last night at the club.“Last night? What happened last night?” Jamie cut in, eagerly.“You know what? I’ll explain everything when you get here. So be quick about it.” I added the last part then dropped the call before he could fire off another round of questions.I sent a message to Naomi next, thumbs moving on autopilot. Almost immediately her reply came through.*It’s fine, Nick. Make sure you take care of yourself. And take as much time as you need. I need you back here like nothing ever happened.*I snorted softly to myself, dropped my phone on the couch, then headed to the kitchen as my stomach grumbled—a reminder that I had not had anything to eat al

    “Damn. I definitely was not expecting that.” Jake replied, laughing a bit, the sound sharp and sudden which sounded foreign even to my ears. And I knew he hadn’t been prepared for the words that had just left my mouth.“I’m sorry, Jake. I’m sorry you had to hear this, but I didn’t want to lie to you. That’s why I’m telling you the truth right now. I know you really like me, and I like you too, but right now I just don’t feel like I’m in the right frame of mind for a relationship. It has nothing to do with you, by the way. It’s just me. I have some issues that I need to sort out on my own.”He nodded slowly, like the words were sinking right into his brain. “Okay. So can you at least tell me why you decided to do this? I think I deserve to know that much.”I took a deep breath, steadying myself against the sudden tightness in my chest. “There is nothing really to it, Jake. I just really think that being friends with you is okay. Relationships end up complicating things. It ends up maki

    “You! What are you— How did you find out where I lived?” I asked in shock, still trying to process the fact that he was standing right in front of me.“Oh, come on. In case you haven’t noticed, you’re pretty popular, so finding out where you lived was a piece of cake,” he replied smugly, brushing past me as he walked inside my house.“Hey, excuse me. I never asked you to come in,” I snapped immediately, slamming the door shut as I ran ahead of him. “What are you doing in my house?” I demanded again, glaring.“Well, since we ended things on a bad note yesterday, I figured I’d come make it up to you,” he replied, while casually grinning like this was the most normal thing in the world.“Look, I don’t know who you are and I don’t care to know who you are. But whatever happens at work stays at work. And you do not get to show up uninvited to my house just because you want to, or just because you felt like we have some sort of unfinished business. So please get out,” I shot back, pointing

  • The Mafia King’s Favorite sin   Hands off

    I yelled, shoving him hard against the chest with both hands. “I don’t need your fucking money. Yes, I may be poor and struggling, but I will never sell myself for money. So you can take your damn money and shove it up your ass for all I care. As a matter of fact, I’m done with this session. You can either leave peacefully, or I’ll call security on you.” I threatened him while heading to the door, prying it open with shaking fingers. He simply laughed, the sound low and mocking, then reached for the glass and downed the drink in one gulp. Without another word he walked toward me, stopped at the threshold and took one long look at me, eyes dark and unreadable. “You can’t run away from me, Nick. No matter how hard you try. Our lives are intertwined more than you actually think. And I’ve got my eyes on you.”Just like that he walked away, grinning. I didn’t realize I had been holding my breath until I slammed the door and collapsed to the floor, exhaling heavily. My hands trembled as

    “Thank you, Naomi,” I said, smiling, while letting everything sink in. “Thank you for also supporting me and for giving me a chance too. You know you’re also to thank for all I’ve accomplished today.”She chuckled, shaking her head. “No. Not at all. This was all you. I only helped out because let’s face it, you’re a good kid. I saw how enthusiastic you were about making ends meet to support yourself and your brother, and that was more than enough to let me know that I was making the right choice by letting you in. And I’m glad you didn’t disappoint me at all.”She paused, touching my face lightly. “And what about you? How are you doing? You know… with everything.”I knew what she was talking about, so I just chuckled. “Well, I’m okay. School’s been good too. And I’ve been taking it easy, still figuring it out one step at a time.”Before she could respond, someone called her attention to something across the room. Naomi glanced over her shoulder, then looked back at me with a small, ap

  • The Mafia King’s Favorite sin   All about Leo

    Jamie and I quickly pulled away, exchanging puzzled looks. “Hey Leo, I’m here. What’s going on?” I asked as we walked into the living room.“It’s here!” he said, handing me the letter.I took it with wide eyes, glancing between him and Jamie, then back at the letter. “Is this what I think it is?”He nodded frantically, literally bubbling with excitement. “I’m nervous. I think you should open it,” he added, rubbing his fingers nervously.“What? Me? I’m more nervous than you are,” I said, chuckling, then turned to Jamie. “Since you’re the most composed of us three, why don’t you open it?”He didn’t object. He simply took the envelope from me and pried it open. As his eyes glanced through the content, my heart was pounding loudly against my chest, and I’m sure it was the same for Leo.“Come on! Out with it already. What does it say?” I asked impatiently, meeting his eyes.“He got in!” he blurted happily as both our eyes widened.“I got in?” Leo repeated, taking the letter from his hands.
