CHAPTER FIVE

MASSIMO'S POV

I'm standing in front of the big window in my living room, sipping on a glass of vodka when my bodyguards walked in holding "Michael butcher " the bastard owes me 10 fucking million and also wanted to abscond with my Goods.

Little did he know that I have guys everywhere and nothing gets past me especially if it's my money, Money is the way to a man's heart, some say it's food but we all can't like the same thing, can we?

"You really thought you've gotten away with it, didn't you?" I said as I slowly turned with one hand pocketed in my suit pants

"N-no, no I swear I wasn- I wasn't going to run with your goods" He shivered as they let him fall to knees

"Then explain why my boys saw you fleeing town, you wanted to use the train, fucking retard you've always been so shallow minded and really slow in thinking

You should have taken a plane, Not that I won't catch you before then but still you could have taken a ride worth the 10 million dollars" I chuckled softly as I sipped from my glass

"I wasn't going to run away, I was going to attend my sister's wedding" he said

I scoffed, "Poor Gerald" I bent in front of him

"you should know any better than to lie to me" I stretched out my right hand and one of my boys placed a neat Glock 19 in it

"I'm not lying I swear, I was going to see her" he persisted as he shifted backwards on his knees and I got up swiftly

"We have new trend boys, a man going to attend his sister's wedding in a tank top" my words came out sarcastically and they laughed

I stopped laughing and turned swiftly as I put a bullet in his shoulder, he fell to the ground as he yelped in pain

"I would love to know if your sister would like to receive different parts of your body as a wedding gift" I smirked, "where is my money? And most importantly the goods I paid you for?"

"The-they said they weren't going to release it until-until I paid 5 million dollars extra" he winced holding his bleeding shoulder

I exhaled as I sat on the single sofa beside the window, "You don't get it do you? I have clients on my neck waiting to cash in big time for some goods that is not fucking available!!" I yelled

"Now you will provide those goods to me by the end of today and maybe, just maybe I won't dislocate both your shoulders but failure to do as you're told, I won't be needing a glock 19 to deal with your pathetic ass, Now get the fuck out and bring my goods. You have till Midnight" I timed my watch as my boys dragged him off the floor and out the door

I closed my eyes as I rubbed my temple, why can't anyone just keep to agreement these days they always want to make me shed blood

"Boss" a voice said and I opened my eyes slowly, "Matthias, any problem?"

Matthias is my personal manager, he does most of the dirty work I'm too lazy to do myself, well not exactly lazy just didn't feel my presence should be everywhere

"The Beijing shipment has arrived" he said and I got up sharply

"Call the circle, it's time to bargain" I swiped my jacket off the edge of the sofa as I walked out swiftly

YASMINE'S POV

Lyrica had taken over my shift earlier than I expected and I was in the staff only room changing out of my work clothes and adjusting my hair, Elijah promised me a walk in the park after school so I'm very sure he'll come to pick me up here

"Thanks Lyrica" I smiled as I walked out of the room and back to the counter, "Just doing it for the cash but you're welcome anyways" She smirked as she handed 50 cents to a customer

The bell attached to the door dinged and I turned to see Elijah walk in, His blonde hair pulled back smoothly as little curls fell on his face and his black leather jacket hugging his body tightly in the sexiest way possible

"Hey" he said almost exhaling as he walked towards the counter, "You ready?"

"Yeah sure, just wait for me outside while I grab my purse" I quickly went back into the staff room to grab my mini purse

I walked back out and caught Lyrica winking at me, She's dramatic, Elijah was waiting outside, checking his wrist watch every two minutes

"Are you waiting for someone else?" I asked as I opened the door walking out the restaurant

"no, nothing important. So which way to the park? Are we strolling or taking a cab?" He asked as he took hold of my left hand

"You really are new here" I laughed "Don't worry we can stroll down" I added as I smiled and I couldn't help but notice the little details on his face

How his lips part and how his dimple goes in whenever he laughs

"So tell me, apart from school what else do you do?" I asked and he was silent for a while before finally gathering his words, Most times it's like he doesn't even know what to say, I can't tell if he's just shy or he's just always a stunned person

"I – I draw, like comics, I'm a comic lover" he smiled

"Hmn, what kind of comics though? Is it like the superhero kind or the anime kind?" We stopped abruptly to watch before crossing the road

"I'm not much of an anime person, though I enjoy reading the comics but it's not really what I'm into" he shrugged and I nodded positively

"So superhero it is then? Or like agents?" I pulled a strand of my hair back, "well yeah, like Dc heroes" he replied

"What about agents? Like spies? Don't you like it?" I asked further and I heard him exhale

"I love spies, agents or whatever including the games, Ever heard of vector?" his eyes met mine for a second

"Uh, yeah I do, its uh- it's a really fun game so do you ever wish to one day become any character from your comic books?" I said, we were already getting close to the park, I could see moms holding their 3 or 5 years old while some were pushing their toddlers in a stroller

"I used to pray to get hit by lighting so I could become flash" he said and immediately busted into laughter

"I'm sorry but that's stupid" I laughed heartily, Get hit by lightning? Is he serious right now like what the fuck?

"I know its crazy even for me" he chuckled "Well don't give up, your dreams might still come through" I laughed

"That's a deadly dream, I don't want that anymore" he gesticulated negatively with his hands

"So have you thought of being a spy? You know, get to hide your identity, use cool gadgets and all that stuff" I smiled as we walked towards a park bench and sat

"Sounds like a really cool thing to do but being a spy is for intellectual people, or people who can slide under a laser to steal stuff, get it" he chuckled

"It'll be cool if you're a spy though, you have like the body for it and dating a spy could be fun too" I teased

"Dating?" he asked and I just smiled, "what about you?, you seem pretty into this spy stuff, ever thought of becoming one?" he asked

"I'm an imaginary spy agent, in my head I've finished lots of missions" I said playfully and we both let out a little laugh

"Cool cool, it's fun to imagine stuff, my mom always said no dream is too big so yeah you still have a chance to become a spy" he turned to look at me, his smile is so adorable

"You think so?" I asked softly, "I know so" he touched my hand and I felt electricity run through me

It was quiet for a while between us and I went in for a quick kiss, it was just a one minute kiss but I wished it lasted longer

I pulled out of the kiss and I felt my cheeks heat up and we made eye contact and he let out a little nervous laugh

"I'm leaving new York tomorrow" he said and the colors on my face drained, "why?"

"Important stuff, but I'll be back as soon as possible" he quickly added and even if I've only known him for two days I can feel the connection between us

I felt my phone vibrate in my purse and I opened my purse to check, it's a message, I read it and quickly closed my purse

"since you are- um leaving, can I at least get a hug?" I asked and he stared at me before pulling me into a warm hug

It felt so warm and comfortable, "I won't be gone for long and anyways I needed a hug from you too" he smiled and I chuckled softly

"So, ice cream?" I asked as I got up , "I'm not a fan of sweets" he complained

"it's just one cone, it won't kill you, Please" I pulled his arm and he got up, "Fine" he gave in and I pulled him towards the ice cream cart

Everything is going according to how i wished it would be and I hope he comes back but I doubt he will.
