Madonna's POV
I want to say it's been a few week since the game, but it's actually just been 5 days, point is, I'm feeling pretty good. All the medicine and unconditional love from my little darling paid off and I'm feeling super hyped to go get some fresh air and pick him from school later today...and not just because it's Tuesday and a certain hot someone's coming to get us for a fun afternoon...
Anyways, I still have one little problem before I can catch up with either of them.
Escaping the mansion.
Well not exactly "Escaping" per say, I actually need permission so I'm not disturbed for the rest of the day.
I let out a breath and put my book down on the bedside table, twisting my body to the edge, I slipped out of the bed and headed straight for the bathroom. I just did the usual, brushed my teeth, shower, dry my hair, toss a couple outfits on the bed before deciding to go a little casual with a short strap pastel pink dress, and a black jean jacket, pairing that with knee high boots and pulling my hair into a high ponytail, I was ready for the day.
I crept out of my room and scurried down the hall into Kim's workroom. Rolls of materials stood by the corner beside her neatly stacked tools and sowing machine. Different pairs of shoes were stacked on a wardrobe taller me and in the next wardrobe were various bags organized by size and brand. I crept towards the bags and snatched up a small pastel pink handbag with shimmery designs on the top. I snuck back out and closed the door behind me gently.

"Look, let's just intercept the van before it gets to the bank" Malik said sitting comfy with his good arm slung on the head of his dining chair.
"Then how do we keep up the rep? we need to do it big to maintain our image out there! don't you guys hear what people are saying? well News flash, they'll calling us wannabes!" Willow added frowning at Malik who just stared at her blankly.
"The money is more important right now, we've been taking it too slow lately and our account's running dry, I need money to make better stuff for us! Back me up here Maurie" Kim said pouting at Maurie.
Maurie looked to Willow with an apologetic smile, "Willow, our rep is definitely important but I believe our goal right now is finances, I'm sorry..."
"Finances? seriously? wow. I am saying we need to get our cred back up, cause I don't know about you, but, regular bank robberies shouldn't be something we're falling back to. We take crazy paying jobs from seriously influential people on the dark web. If you also haven't noticed, the notifications aren't going off anymore meaning we're loosing guys!" Willow said with a forced smile as she looked at each person one after the other until her eyes landed on me.
"Please help me talk some sense into them" Williow said and sighed. The gang all turned to face me.
I sighed and walked towards the table, Kimmy was giving me what I wanna believe is a look of approval while Malik glared at my outfit.
I stopped an inch away from the table and placed my bag on it. Kim furrowed her brows at it and smirked.
"Okay, based on what I heard upon entry, I support Willow's idea. We could still rob the bank, but it should be flashy, threatening. When little gangs notice we're suddenly deciding to lay low, they'd be more than happy to try reward on Banks and Black Diamond" I started seriously.
"There are quite a few gangs scurrying around, how do you think they'd react if they felt we were weak and there's all that prize money to won by killing us off. I mean we can take them, but they'd be interfering in our day time affairs. What I'm trying to say is, our cred right now is important. Y'all will still be getting the cash. Just let them know it had to have been you" I finished and picked up my bag.
"You? you say like you don't want in" Chris asked raising a brow at me.
"Sorry, but I'm booked today" I said sweetly as I took out my phone to check the time. I heard Kim and Maurie coo at me.
"11:34" I murmured to myself and kept away my phone.
"Where's Alex though?" I asked looking around the table again.
"Had an emergency surgery to perform so he left a few minutes before you came" Maurie answered and stretched her arms on the table, her pretty white nails caught my eye.
"Alright, please don't call me today, let Alex know I'd be back by evening with Audrey and yeah, please let Stavo know he doesn't need to pick up Audrey today. Thanks y'all" I said smiling and turned to leave.
"Who is He?" I heard Malik ask sternly. The room fell eerily silent at his words, I could even feel the others eyes boring holes into my back.
"No one you need to know Malik."
"Well I want to know, he could be dangerous Donna"
"And if he is? it's not like you'd be any help in this state. Worry about yourself right now, I'm fine alright. No need to fret on my account" I said and walked away from the room.
*******
It was 12pm by the time I got to my apartment. Charlie had greeted me with so much warmth and filled me up on all the major drama that had been going on in the complex since we left. Apparently it was a lot.
I got up to my apartment and looked around the place. Everything was in its place, as though we hadn't left. I headed into the kitchen and checked the fridge... it was empty, well that's preferable since if there were anything it would've been spoilt by now.
I checked the cupboard and got down a bag of chips and a bottled water, then sauntered out to the parlor and turned on the TV. I was just about to sit when the door bell rang.
"Coming!" I yelled and rushed to the door. I stood in front of it, adjusted myself and let out a calm breath, then opened the door.
For a moment, I couldn't move.
Nate stood at my door dressed up in a black shirt with some of the buttons undone revealing a little of his chest, the sleeves ere rolled just after his elbow and paired with Black dress pants. His hair was in a quiff as always and that sexy smile of his that could send me to the ER.
" Well...you look delicious" he said as his eyes roamed my body and rested on my face.
I couldn't say what came over me, but I took two steps forward and closed the gap between us, completely.
I felt his arms snake around my waist, flattening me again is hard body, his belt buckle pressing against my tummy. I felt him smirk against my lips and we kissed. I found my myself running my fingers down his semi-exposed chest, then up his neck... I just... didn't want to stop. I guessed he felt the same way when he picked me up while still kissing me and walked into the apartment, he kicked the door closed behind him and set me down on the couch, hovering above me.
in this angle I could see more of his perfectly sculpted chest, but I also noticed the wary smile on his face.
"I want to keep going...but Audrey might actually shoot me if he finds us like this" he confessed. i couldn't hold back my laughter which earned me a confused look from him.
"Audrey is at school right now, so we have two hours alone" I told him as I ran my fingers into his hair. His confused look morphed into a Charming smile as he stared down at me.
"Alright... but...you should know, I actually do have feelings for you" he said as he lowered himself on me.
"Really?" I asked once he was inches away from my face.
"Yes" he replied and claimed by lips.
His kiss this time felt possessive, like I was his, trapped against his lips, unable to escape... and I loved it. He trailed kisses down my neck and collarbone, held my hand in his above my head as he went back up to my lips. His touch felt electric, every where his hands touched and cupped made me burn with desire for him.
"Chocolate... do you... really want this... right now?" he asked out the blue as he kissed my neck.
"What do you mean?" I asked. He flipped us over so he laying on the couch and I on top of him. His hands caressed my ass and waist, he smiled at me while I just stared at him confused.
"I know you're a virgin."
"Wait wha-"
"I know by the way you kiss"
"Oh..."
"I'm serious about you Chocolate, I want you, I want to be with you as often as possible, I think about you constantly... though I have slept with quite a few women... I want ours to be special... not like this."
"You think that I'll be bad?"
"What? No! besides, who said I'll let you lead?"
My cheeks burned at the thought. I stared at him wondering if he'd still say these things if he knew that his 'Chocolate' was a killer.
he suddenly pulled off the band on my hair, causing my hair to flow against my shoulders.
"Much better" he said as he pushed some strands away from my face. I felt his hand push my ass forward making me lean closer to his face.
"Kiss me" he said softly staring into my eyes with what I think is lust.
and I did...
