Chapter 9

"Jessy I want to talk to you", can't he even ask nicely?

"There is nothing to talk about", this guy was one of my flings in school and I liked him.

The next thing I know his lips are on mine, I didn't react, I don't know how to react, I was not waiting for that.

Why is this kiss erupting butterflies in my stomach? I'm not supposed to love this guy, he is my brother's enemy. Jersper will kill me!

He stops but doesn't remove his lips, I want him to kiss me.

"Nico", he smiles then claims my lips again. He kisses me, I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back.

He is still aggressive!

Shit!

Reality came back. I can't be with him! My brothers will murder him.

I pull out and turn around.

"I love you"

What?

He loves me? Me? Jessy Reina Smith? Me? Me my overprotective brothers' only left sister? Is he crazy?

"You are crazy!"

"Yes I am, I'm crazy in love with you. I don't care about your brothers now, I want you. I'll talk to them"

Try to make a conversation with my brothers and you will be six feet underground.

I'm happy he loves me, but I'm sad because he may die because of me. Love can blind people.

I love Nico, but will my family accept him?

"I, I, I, you are my brothers' enemy. I'm sorry I can't love you", I need to protect him from my brothers.

"Jessy I know you love me. Don't worry I'll talk to your brothers", he is crazy!

"I also love you, it's just that my brothers will harm you. I'm scared of them and I'm scared of you, but also I'm scared for you"

"Jessy doesn't be scared of me, I'll never hurt you", I just smile and hug him. He said he will never hurt me, I trust him.

"Jessy, can I take you out tonight?"

Should I go out with him? What will I tell the others?

"You do know that I'm a divorcee, right?"

My ex-husband was abusive and when brother Jersper found out, he made him pay for every pain I felt, after that, they forced him to sign the divorce papers, and the following day he was found dead. I know who killed him

"Yes I know and I love this divorcee", he still looks handsome.

"I have to go, Nico, I need to pee!" He chuckles and I left him there. I did my business inside and washed my hands, when I went out he was no longer there.

I walk back to the table my friends are sitting at.

"What took you so long?" I roll my eyes and sat down.

I took a long breath, it was now or never.

"Guys I love Nicolas Colton", I sit quietly, I am waiting for their scolding.

Wait for it. They are all shocked.

"Are you crazy? You do know that Nicolas is Jersper's biggest enemy?!" He is my family's enemy now.

"You do know that your brother will never allow this relationship?" I know that Tristan

"Do you want a war between these two groups?" Of course not Eric!

"I'm glad you have moved on from your ex abusive husband. You did make the stupidest mistake there. Anyways congrats babes", thanks Landell.

"Relax guys. I love him and I don't want my brothers to know right now"

"Do you want us not to tell your brothers? Seriously? He will kill us when he comes to know we know something but we didn't tell him"

"Oh come on guys. Please promise me you won't tell him"

"Does Nico feel the same about you?"

"Yes, Landell he does feel the same about me. He told me himself."

"Then I promise not to tell them", thank you Landell.

"I won't tell your arrogant brothers"

"Thanks, Eric", now it's up to our couple.

"Tristan, V, just promise", I know V is scared of my brothers

"I promise you, girl"

"Thanks, Tristan"

"If you gonna protect me when he finds out, then I promise you"

"Thank you guys, thanks V."

I'm happy my brother is in love with my bestie, I just pray she changes him fast.

"Come on guys, let's go"

Jeremiah:

She has been silent and constantly crying ever since we left the restaurant.

I hate that fucker! Nicolas is going to pay for this. He is going to pay for making my girl cry.

I park the car and she stepped out and ran inside. I stepped out and ran after her. I open the door and she was sitting on the floor crying.

"Leona, please say something. You haven't said anything since we left the restaurant", I sat next to her and she hugs me tightly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry about what happened today", she is traumatized, and I feel sorry for her.

"Why was I at gunpoint? Is your brother a gangster? Do you have a gun? What did I do for that man to point his gun at me?"

Nicolas Colton! You bastard! You coward!

"Leona that bad guy wants my wife Jessy, to be his forever, but I can't let that happen. Jerd and his friends are gangsters, I have a gun, just for protection. Don't worry I'll protect you"

"Why did he say Jessy is your sister?" Because she is our sister and you think she is my wife because I made you believe that.

"Because that is what we told him"

"I'm scared Jeremiah. What if that bad guy comes back? Will he come back? Will he hurt me?"

"He will never hurt you, I'll make sure of it"

"Can I tell you something?" She pulls out and looks at me with tears streaming down her face.

"Go ahead"

"I have always wished to be friends with gangsters or marry one or even be near them. I always thought that their lifestyle was interesting and adventurous but no, I was wrong. Their life is dangerous and scary. I hate gangsters now, I just hate them"

What?

Nicolas!!

You ruined my chances to be with her. You ruined her! You ruined me!

She hates us, gangsters, now. Will she be scared of me when I tell her the truth about me?

"Right now I regret wishing their life"

A kiss will make her forget this whole thing.

I wipe her tears and leaned forward.

She is also leaning forward. This means she feels something for me. Only an inch more and we will kiss.

One.

Two.

Three.

The door bursts open and my sister walks in.

Damn Reina! You know how to ruin a romantic moment.

I look at Reina and she smirks, I then look at Leona, she has a guilty look. Does she regret what we were about to do? Her eyes show regret. Fuck this church girl!

Was what we were about to do a sin?

God! These rules and sins.
