Tulips (MxM) 8
The rest of the car ride was way too silent. It was mostly because I didn't want to talk to anyone. "Do you want to take a nap? We might take a while." Arturo asked but I shook my head."I'm fine," I replied.Arturo seemed hesitant to accept that answer but nodded anyway. The window tint suddenly turned dark and we could barely see the outside."What happened to the windows?" I asked."We just blocked it out," Arturo replied."Why?" I asked, but Arturo just shrugged. I sighed and decided to just let it go. Suddenly, a yawn escaped my lips. Arturo chuckled as my face turned a light shade of pink. He didn't say anything as he tapped his shoulder, offering it for me lay down on. I didn't fuss as I lay my head against his shoulder. Arturo put his arm across my torso, resting his hand on my thigh so I used his arm as a pillow as I close my eyes. I could hear some of the men faintly coo, but I tried my best to ignore it. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep. The next thing I know, I

"Arturo," I called out to him as we walk to his office."What is it?" He asked."How long do I have to stay here?" I asked."I don't think I can give you a definite answer," he said as he opened the door to his office.I was surprised by the sheer size of it. It was almost as big as my home. The walls were covered with shelves filled with hundreds of books. There was a large desk in the middle and a leather chair. There were two leather seats in front of it and there were two leather couches on either side of the entrance.Arturo closed the door behind me as I got inside. He took a seat on one of the leather chairs and asked me to sit in front of him. I did as I was asked and sat in front of him. "What you saw last night and that day, I need you to tell no one," He said in a low tone.My eyes snapped to him in shock."I knew you saw that, but no one can know that you did or else you'll be in even more danger than you already are," He said, but there was no threat in his voice. He sai

I ended up spending the rest of the day putting away all the things that Arturo bought in the closet and the bathroom. I had to force him to give the other ones away to his staff or anyone but me. Nobody needs this copious amount of clothes, shoes, and perfumes. Although I was glad that I did not have to pay for all of it, I still feel guilty being spent so much money on, for no reason. I lay on my bed, tired from all the packing up then Arturo laid down beside me and slipped his arm under my neck."Why did you buy me all of this stuff?" I asked as I turned my head to face him."I don't know," he mumbled."Will you tell me what your job is?" I asked."I can't tell you that. I'm sorry," he replied."Is it illegal?" I asked.Arturo paused for a moment, not sure whether to answer me or not. I turned my head to face the ceiling, taking his silence as a yes. We lay there for a moment, not talking, just enjoying being beside each other. Arturo sat up and looked at his phone before turning t

Arturo's POVAvery was quietly eating dinner as I sat beside him. He tried to feed me a couple of times but I didn't have the appetite so I let him have all the food. Avery was lost in his own world as he eats. I'm guessing the food is really good. I reached out to his face and wiped the sauce off of the side of his lips. His face flushed pink as he shoved a bunch of food into his mouth and I couldn't help but chuckle at him. I was suddenly reminded of how young and naive he is. My existence in his life suddenly flipped his world upside down simply because I chose to be selfish. I brought the tray back down to the kitchen before going back to Avery.He was sitting on the edge of the bed, browsing through movies on the TV. I sat beside him and he laid his head against my shoulder. He chose a horror movie before scooting back on the bed until his back reached the headboard. I followed beside him after taking off my shoes."I'll be taking advantage of your Netflix while I'm here," he sa

As soon as I got home, I quickly went to my room to change into casual clothes and hide the bloodied clothes from Avery. I looked for him in his room right after, but he wasn't there. I texted Leo, asking where Avery is and he replied that they were hanging out in the garden. I let out a sigh of relief and went to the garden. Avery was crouching in front of the tulips we planted out in the garden.Leo turned and saw me approaching. He stepped backward to give me and Avery space. Avery's head snapped towards me and his face lit up as soon as he saw me. He stood up from the ground and dusted off his knees as I approached. "Hey," I greeted.As much as I wanted to pull him into a hug, I know I couldn't. Not out in the open at least."Hey," he greeted back, giving me a sweet smile."What are you doing here?" I asked."Oh, I just wanted some fresh air and then I saw the tulips and got mesmerized," he chuckled.My heart started to beat faster at the sound of his voice. "I, uhm, have you ha

Avery's POVArturo's arms are wrapped around me as we lay next to each other. I wanted more from what we did earlier, but I was too hesitant to ask for more. It was something that I had never felt before and it's something that I didn't think I would crave. "Arturo," I called out and he hummed in response. "Was it weird for you?" I asked."What's weird?" He asked."The thing we did earlier," I said in a low volume.Arturo chuckled and I could feel the vibrations from his chest against my skin. "No. It wasn't weird. I've done that many times before," he replied.I was suddenly hit with a pang of jealousy at the thought of Arturo being with someone else before me. Arturo must've sensed the change in my mood. He buried his face in my neck and gently nibbled on my skin. I gripped his thigh as a hint of pleasure entered my body."You like that?" he whispered against my skin."Y-yes," I replied.Arturo then pulled me onto his lap and kept sucking on the skin on my neck. I tilted my neck a

Arturo's POVI went inside my office and found Leo already waiting for me. I motioned for him to sit down before taking a seat behind my desk. Leo looked nervous as he sat in front of me."You wanted to talk?" I asked him."Yes," he said."What is it about? It's rare that you approach me like this," I said.Leo took a deep breath before talking. "It's about Avery," he said and I knew exactly where this conversation was going. "Did you do a background check on him?" he asked."Yes," I answered."So you know why I'm here then," he said as he leaned back on his chair."We can only suspect. We can't do any confirmatory testing Leo," I said."I know," he said dejectedly. "Let's just keep this to ourselves for now," I said."Will do," he replied."Do you know where she's buried?" Leo asked."Yes. Do you want to know the address?" I asked."Not yet. Do you have a picture of her?" he asked.I nodded and pulled out a folder from one of the drawers. I grabbed the photo from the folder and hand

"What the fuck are you planning, Arturo?! I thought we talked about this!" Leo shouted as he barged into my office."I realized that people will find out anyway. Do you really think he'll be safe once we let him leave? They already saw him around us almost all the time," I calmly said as I lean back against the chair. Leo sighed in defeat as he slumped down onto the chair. "He can't live like this. He grew up with a normal life," Leo said."He didn't. Your mom constantly switched his schools and he's incredibly naive for his age. Do you really think he grew up with a normal life?" I asked."I don't mean it like that. I meant, not surrounded by the shit we do. I don't think he can handle it," Leo said. "Don't you think it would be easier for us to protect him when he's here?" I asked."Yes, it's easier, but he can't live the way he used to anymore and we're putting him closer to danger," Leo said, his jaw clenching in anger.We sat in silence for a moment, thinking about how Avery wo
