So he did follow me and he has one good-looking car. Not the best, but it is one of the best.
A white 2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.
I reach my place and get off my car. Sorry, one of my many cars.
A matte black 2022 Jaguar XF. And Roman gave me a call which answered most of my questions. Not all, but most.
I elegantly get off and turn to see he has gotten off as well.I look at his posture. It can't be behind him.
I look at his blazer properly. Left side. And he definitely has an earpiece on.
"What is your name?",I ask, looking him in the eye.
I stand right in front of him,close enough to take his gun without him noticing.
"Gabriel", he says.
"Angel", I say.
"I am sorry, but why are we here?", he asks, and I take a step back.
"For a cup of tea", I say and walk to the door.
I unlock and open it, then turn to see he is not coming toward me.
"Are you going to stand there all day?", I ask and get in.
As I walk to the kitchen, I hear the front door gently shut and footsteps near me.
I slide open the kitchen drawer and take out a gun.
"I know I said I was making tea, but I need to know who sent you?", I ask, then I turn to point the gun at him.
He looks at the gun and I notice his hand slowly reaching for his blazer pocket.
"Don't even think about it", I say taking out his gun.
"I am really not in the mood for any ruckus. So, I will ask again, who sent you?", I say.
"I think we both know who sent me",he says, looking uninterested.
"I would not ask if I knew, would I?", I taunt.
"My boss sent me", he says.
"I am getting really impatient with you, Luca", I say.
His face turns blank.
"My name is Gabriel", he says. I put the guns down on the kitchen counter as I cross my arms over my chest.
"Luca Morretti, security head of the famous Basil Adamos, father of two twins with the mother out of the picture because she is in the streets, probably high on drugs, if not dead from an overdose, not that you would care because you protect only your Basil, Amara and Amira",I say looking at him.
I uncross my arms as I lay my palms on the kitchen counter and lean forward.
"Should I go on or you wanna deny deny deny?", I ask.
"Who the f**k are you?", he asks.
"I am more interested in why you are following me. I went to the mall and you kept following me till I drove back here to get ready. And somehow, you also managed to get to the restaurant before me as though you knew my reservation. Now, I am no Einstein, but it doesn't take a genius to figure that Basil is Ace. And don't even try to cover up for the slip up. I know he is listening to us so why don't you tell him that I will see him soon on the way to Paris", I state then throw the gun to him, which he catches.
He looks at his gun then back to me.
I walk towards my mini bar and he follows.
"How did you notice me?", he asks putting his gun away.
"I am part demon so my senses are very heightened", I say bluntly.
He frowns and tries to speak but nothing comes out.
"Do you care for anything or you'll be on your way to your boss?", I ask as I take out two whiskey glasses.
"Well seeing the glasses, I don't really have much of a choice", he says sitting down on the bar stool.
"You always have a choice. Some are just too deadly for you to pick", I say with a shrug and pour our drinks.
"So am I making it out alive of this place?", he asks.
"Depends", I say with a shrug.
"On what?", he asks and I down my drink in one gulp.
I look him in the eye.
"Whether I will be pissed or just bored enough to want blood on my hands".
2 hours later...
"She just had to f**k it all up. You two would've been amazing together. I mean at the alter", I say in frustration and shock.
"Yeah, and just to find out she was drunk and had s*x with my cousin the night before", he says looking disgusted.
"Didn't that make you wonder if the twins are actually yours?", I ask curiously.
"Oh I was very skeptical about it. I made her run the tests and I found out they were actually mine so at least she gave me something I'll forever cherish", he says with a shrug at the end.
"I don't know how you didn't murder her and that shitty cousin of yours. You're more of a man than I will ever be. I would've slaughtered them", I say.
"You can't be a man when you have a v****a, Angel", he says with a small chuckle.
"HEY! That's sexist",I whine.
"And besides, I was being figurative", I add.
So Luca and I have been talking about our lives, well more like his.
I can handle my liquor and many more but he can't so I got him to spill a lot.
But that took 4 bottles.
Kinda worth it cause he's spilling s**t I didn't even think I would want to know.
"But let's go back to Basil now, Luca. Are you certain he wants to see me?", I ask.
"That piece of s**t has never spoken about a girl for that long. I mean I was starting to think he's gay since Emma and I-", he stops.
Now who is Emma.
"Who is Emma?", I ask.
"I think I've said enough", he says and burps as he takes out his phone.
"Basil is probably wondering why I'm still not back by now", he mumbles but I manage to hear him properly.
"I can drop you off, if you like", I offer.
"Nah, he's on his way already",he says and yawns.
"Oh really?", I ask as I look around to see if the place is neat and one would think we only drank half a bottle cause I disposed the other empty bottles.
I didn't think I would actually see him today after the Gabriel stunt he pulled.
Can't f*****g wait to make you fall Ace. Or rather, Mr Adamos.
