MasukJapheth “Japheth?” Aaron's voice called out again and I silently scrambled up to my feet before pushing the bed back down. I straightened the sheets so it wouldn't look like I touched anything, straightened my sweater as well, and hurried to what looked like the bathroom.As soon as I shut the door, I heard the door to his room open and he stepped in.“Calm down, Japheth,” I whispered to myself as I washed my hands. “It's nothing that you haven't seen before. It's just drugs. Those are just guns and explosives. He can't hurt me. He's obsessed with me.”A knock on the bathroom startled me and I sucked in a sharp breath before pulling the door open, a look of annoyance on my face.“Took you long enough. Who delays their date for over thirty minutes?” I asked as I pushed past him and he stared at me with suspicion.“I called you multiple times but you didn't respond. What were you doing in there?” He asked, his eyes narrowed and I raised a brow at him, surprised at how natural I was act
Japheth “It's not a date. It's not a date. It is definitely not a date.”I slumped to my bed with my hands on my head and a frustrated expression on my face. Aaron said it was a date and ever since he hung up, that has been the only word in my head. I have never been out on a date, what would I even wear?I glanced at the clock on the wall and with every second that ticked, it inched closer to 7 pm. I still had three hours to spare since I spent the whole day trying to cancel. I couldn't send the text anyway, not after receiving his text that showed how excited he was about today.I rolled around for a while and groaned. I hated that as frustrated as I thought I was, I was looking forward to it. And, since I was going to his penthouse, maybe I could sneak around a little, do some investigation, and report back to the captain.With that thought, I shot out of bed to get ready.“Let's do this,” I whispered to myself and headed to the bathroom where I took a long, refreshing bath. Then
Santiago's POV “Y-you want to sleep in my room with me. Is that what you're saying?” I asked once again to be sure I wasn't hearing wrongly and he nodded, his expression unchanged.“The air conditioner in your room is good, right?” He asked and I nodded very slowly. “So what's the big deal? I'm sleeping in your room, end of discussion.” He concluded and grabbed the pillow on the bed before brushing past me.I just stood there, staring at the bed in sheer confusion and shock. If what he was saying made sense, then we would both be sleeping on the same bed. Together. What the hell was he thinking?I glanced at the air conditioner once more, not knowing if I should be grateful or worried.“Are you just gonna stand there?” I heard him ask and I turned around immediately to see he was standing behind me. “I'm hungry.”“What?”“I'm living here now, which means you have to take care of me now. So, I'm hungry.” He said with a matter-of-fact tone and I couldn't believe that this was the Jace
Santiago's POV I was buzzing with excitement. After I ended the call last night, I could barely find sleep. The thought of having Jace in my house for two whole days without interruption or unwanted attention made me want to jump off the roof and scream in excitement.It was bright already and I've arranged the house over and over again until I didn't know what else to do. My phone suddenly buzzed in my pocket, causing me to jolt as I wiped the sweat off my forehead.Taking it out, I saw it was a text from Aaron and my heart started to pound once again. So many feelings were rushing through me at once; excitement, nervousness, anxiety, happiness, and others that I couldn't even name.“We'll be there in ten.” That was all it took for me to collapse against the wall as I tried not to scream. I made sure to run around the house once more to make sure everything was arranged nicely. My apartment had two bedrooms so he would be comfortable in the guest room next to mine.After making sure
Aaron“It's the middle of the night, Aaron. What do you want?” San asked, his voice tired and mixed with annoyance. I simply snorted and yawned before adjusting my pillow under my head.“Matteo found out about Japheth,” I muttered.“What? How? Did Jace tell him? How could he? After I made him promise—”“Calm your balls, San. Jace didn't. Someone else did.” I interrupted him and he stayed silent for a while before speaking again.“Do you know who it was?”“Danielle.”“I knew it! I knew that witch would someday be the end of you. Why the fuck do you even keep her around? Do you know how annoying she is? And now she's told on you.” San's voice was so annoyed that I couldn't help but chuckle in amusement.I didn't blame him. Danielle was annoying. And overprivileged.“Wait, you could have told me all this tomorrow morning, Aaron. Why exactly did you disturb my beauty sleep to tell me about Danielle?” He asked in annoyance as he yawned and I smirked.“Oh well, I'm sorry I ruined your beaut
AaronI was literally grinning from ear to ear as the car came to a stop in the mansion. Today was probably the best day of my life, if I ignored the fact that I was in the white room this morning. Japheth allowed me to lay my head on his shoulder, not just once, not even consecutively.First, in the morning when I was scared as fuck, then when I pretended to fall asleep to see his reaction. He even brushed my freaking hair from my face. He let me hug him, let me hold his hand, how could today not be the best day of my life?It would only be a matter of time before he gave in to me completely, and then, I would make him mine. The thought of it made me so giddy that I wanted to shout so loud about how happy I was. The moon shone down on me like it could tell how happy I was and for a second, I did a little happy dance.Realizing that I was probably being watched by bodyguards and cameras, I cleared my throat and walked into the house. But my smile never left my face. Everyone should be
