NOT A LONG WAY FROM THE HEART

Chapter II FAITH

Dexce had a church called “Faith”, they had a belief of having everyone together in-on -it, and Fabio just heard an invitation given to him from the door by a messenger sent to his room. Over and ahead to the invite. In the midst of all of them he found Bolita deeply devoted to her belief. Amigo and his escort were on their way back from dealing with the problem. Fabio gave a testimony, one of which he appreciates the Dexters for the warmth welcome into their town. This gesture from Fabio made them happy again as they already liked him, his faith belief was also in line with them. Bolita stepped up to do praises, you can say, her voice took Fabio by surprise since he's never heard her sing ‘fore.

Amigo unlike Fabio had his own conviction, and it was a “Faithless” one which doubted everything about God's existence. That's why he was at the Inn as he returned from his hunt while tryin' to forget that his brother is likely going down for the crimes they alleged him or committing, so a few pints might be a way out of that trouble for now. Fabio just got curious than ever about Bolita, after her performance, down at the garden were she is, Fabio was able to find her as it isn't far from “Faith’’ where they had just fellowshipped.

She smiled as she saw him coming towards her, Fabio complemented her voice has he got close to her, while she acted as if she heard nothing. He asked her if she's from Dexce, ‘cause he always thought that she behaved different than the rest, which of of course, she did. Bolita ventin’ her anger on Fabio as she tried to slap him, thinking she deserved a proper apology for the way he left her again, the night they did the Brox.

Getting closer to her while she's cartering the flowers, he holds her hand, she tries to budge a move but she relents on whatever she thought of doing and Fabio standing so close to her, that he could smell the scent on her which did infact, was captivating. You surprise me every time, she said to him, he replied to her remarks with: the feeling mutual before getting her to have a drink with him at the Inn. Walked into the Inn, vomitting there was a man who drank to stupor after finding out his wife got pregnant for his friend, everyone in there had told him to shut up and go home because he kept messing up himself the more and the more he sipped, they paddle him out of there to his home. Bolita mentioned that wasn't her first experience of such as she's had adventures of those happenings in the Inn as she's been in the Inn a couple of times. She even admitted that she's a mystery, like she's gotten that a lot of times from people.

She inquired about his married life and there were drinking like they signed up to play a russian roulette when they had enough talking. Some music ran in through the speakers, Bolita suddenly requested a dance from Fabio, she knew how to “tango” just as she has said while standing for a dance, but Fabio wasn't bad when it came to dancing, and he showed it, which had everyone in the Inn amazed and cheering on.

Amigo couldn't buy his rest from all that drinking atleast not for more than a day, trying to work a solution to aid his brother's case is his top priority so the business they had ongoing at Dexce will have to continue without his supervision. Fabio trying to give out an assist to Amigo for his brother's issue, he decided to call his own personal lawyer who's very competent when it comes to criminal cases and has only good win marks on his dashboard, his name is Bryant Freeze, half black and half white is his origin background. Amigo was thankful as he knew how much it would probably cost him to secure the services of this kind, with all that money spent on the case for months now, the business took some too.

Looking all banged up from the stress of handling his brother, Amigo knew he had to leave Dexce so he could be more involved in the situation and check his health better. Fabio was ready to handle the oversight of things here, so it was agreed. Amigo left Dexce days later to take care of the matter himself.

Fabio and Bolita have begun their friendship and it's an increasingly auspicious fondness of each other from day to day. The two, now borne a new perception of the other and they find themselves talking almost e were seated at the garden having their usual company of one another, when Fabio decided to tell her the truth of what he does, sooner than he planned on doing, clearly because he started to trust her. Bolita seemed alright with what he had told her but the truth always wants to show itself as much as it's been buried.

Collaborators were invited by Fabio, to see their operations in Dexce and merge forces with them, so that they become a bigger unit than ever. Fabio was able to successfully sell the idea to them and they were all willing to invest much more than the initial funds. Spending the the week in Dexce, Linho, the head of the collaborators, came in contact with Bolita, stricken by her look, he really wants to have some time with such a covetous body and he couldn't resist, Bolita just grabbing some asparagus for the barbecue with her friendsies later in the evening.

Linho’s abrupt interest in Bolita really happening in great timing. Business isn't as fluid as it's use to being when Amigo's in charge, Fabio doing his best to keep it afloat since it isn't his forte exactly. Seein’ the massive work behind the scenes, Fabio intends to stay back a little more to make sure things are moving the way they should so that leave Bolita and Linho spare time together, One of the Dexters(elite’s) came by the business scenery to discuss a few matters with Fabio about allowing the some people from town to work for them and make some pay, a little unhinged about the suggestion, Fabio told him, he would consider his request.

Noticed his absence, Bolita’s attention is divided as she at the barbecue spending time with her friends, even Linho's funny ass couldn't do much about it for her. Amigo’s just making headway in his bro's bargain deal which has clearly helped in his health battery betterin’ which Fabio had a great influence in assisting him with as well.

Fabio's “held to belief” of Time essence is qualifiable, as he believes everyone wastes their time, but it depends on what they choose to waste it on that matters. Bolita knowing that was he's hold, felt bad that he didn't even come or send a note of absentia to her. Shortly, Fabio just making it to the barbecue after most of the chops are done, Bolita seeing him, she's acting like she didn't. Fabio getting her attention, after calling her thrice, explained why he didn't show up earlier than this but Bolita's reluctantly buying it, she then offered him a drink and some grilled meat. Her friendsies were all inquisitive into who Fabio is, with his fine smirk on his face.

Bolita is so pissed that she told her friends that he is a stranded stranger she helped settle into town, Linho seated next to them, heard it and got lost as to that statement. Much that Fabio didn't make any utterance himself to what she had said. Frint, one of Bolita's friends, having so much curiosity about Fabio, asked him where he's from and if he's got a girlfriend or a wife, Fabio makes a sniffle laugh before saying no, right before she put herself up for the position which Bolita gave a jaded response to. About this time, everyone at the table had a itch feeling that something was up with Bolita and Fabio which they had no fuckin’ know about ‘til now.

Linho's humouring was so good that it took everybody's mind off Bolita's back into a more designed function of a barbecue to say. Bolita and Fabio left the table to have a time of their own together and sort out whatever itches are there to scratch, Bolita budging with steps to evade Fabio from getting to her but she wasn't fast enough to do so. I don't like games, Fabio said, a bit angry he is, she claimed she wasn't playing games either as they went on a back and forth tryin’ to trap the other. He told her to be precise in her communication with him so as to avoid confusion. Bolita as the stubborn girl she's been from yore, she felt that Fabio was telling her how to act which in fact maybe he was doing but rightly so, she playfully ran off in a empty space, Fabio tried warning her to becareful but got no response as it was dark and quiet, he called our her name, but still nothing. Reaching her, Fabio seeing the defiant Bolita froze in a spot, a bit skewered, only to see a king cobra in front of her, he implored Bolita not to make any budges at all, a stubborn girl that doesn't listen to no one may finally for once do so, Bolita moved against the caution of Fabio and the king cobra about strike now but Fabio had already locked his aim at it with his weapon and a pawh sound which shocked Bolita because she wasn't expecting such. Fabio wasn't happy with Bolita as she put her life in an instant there, just after he had told her to stay still but she did the contrary. Many things about Bolita from start up ‘til this moment as always left Fabio with the thought of figuring what kind of a lady she might be. Fabio more infuriated than he had ever been, walked away leaving her with a dead snake and no words too.
