"I don't care." I covered my head with the duvet while turning my back to Kaden. He kept informing me that Leonard has been calling. I really wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone. Yes for an entire month. I've been cooped away for an entire month. I also found out Ezio denied my resignation letter.
Is he even allowed to do that? I don't think I could face him after that finger stunt I pulled in his office. That's so embarrassing. But if he really thinks I'm going to kiss his ass then he has got the wrong person. There's no turning back.
In the heat of the moment, as soon I returned home, I burn everything that had him on it. I even threw my phone in the fire. Anger has no face so don't blame me for my actions. Kaden got me a new phone and SIM card so I basically hopped off the map for now. I'm never leaving this house ever again.
"Wake up Tina." Kentrell pulled the duvet off my body while exposing me to the cold. Leave the pulling to this guy.
"Do you not speak english?" I looked back at him. "Leave me the hell alone." I grabbed the duvet and covered up once more. "Now piss off." Next thing I know I was flat on the floor.
Keith. Now that I think about it...the floor is quite comfy. I pulled the duvet off the bed and covered myself. Unbothered. I closed my eyes and was about to fall asleep when I felt water pouring on my face. My eyes shot open and I flew up. They were all laughing. Oh so this is funny? So if I got a gun and loaded it then accidentally shot them...would it be murder? The world wouldn't really miss anything...would it?"
"What?!" I yelled out in frustration as I sat up and looked at all my brothers including Juan. He seemed to be focusing on my body instead of everything that was going on right now.
"We're going to the mall." Khaled smiled at me.
"Ok? So?" What's that gotta do with me?" I pulled the wet duvet to the laundry room and placed it in the wash before going back upstairs and into Kaden's room. I pulled his duvet off and covered myself with everyone still behind me.
"Why are you guys still here?" I stuffed my head into the pillow and took a deep breath. For some unknown reason I felt like breaking down and crying my eyes out. Something washed over me.
"We're taking you to the mall."
"Take me to a funeral home instead." I sighed sitting up and glared at them all. Kaden was busy on his phone probably texting his secretary.
"Ok whatever."
🤍
"You hungry?" Kaden asked.
"No."
"Tired?"
"No."
"Then what do you want?"
"To go home."
"You just got here still I have to go." He kissed my forehead before leaving. That leaves me with Keith since Khaled, Juan and Kentrell went their separate ways. We planned to meet at the food court in an hour.
I sighed more frustrated than before. Since it's a Saturday the mall's going to be a little more clustered. I wore a pink hoodie with black biker shorts and my pink fur slides. I pulled the hood over my head and stuck my hands in the pocket area.
"Lil K?" I look up to see Clara with her son AJ in her arms
"Hello." I said before stepping pass her and heading into forever 21 with Keith behind me.
"Who was that?" He asked.
"Someone I knew." I walked over to the shoe section and saw some killer air forces that caught my attention. I picked them up and a few more slides before handing them to Keith. Since y'all took me out then I'm taking advantage of the situation.
I grabbed some hoodies, T-shirts, tights, pants etc.. I took them to the counter and watched as Keith paid for them and carried the bags. I stopped at more stores before heading to the food court.
🤍
"I need to stop by the office." I groaned in frustration. I haven't been to E.Z Corp. to pick up my necessities. If I'm being honest, I don't want to leave but I can't stay. Not after what I did. I groaned in frustration, seeing that's what I've been accustomed to these past few days. Ezio declined my resignation letter but I can't bring myself to face him.
This is why you should mask your emotions. I groaned once more as my brother pulled up in front of the large building. If anything I can call an Uber and stop by Kentrell. I already had my hoodie and biker shorts on since I didn't think I should change. It would've been more work to go home and return.
Meh...I won't be staying long. I entered the building and greeted everyone as I entered the elevator. The eyes that I have become accustomed to watched even harder than before. Whispers and mumbles were being heard and the minor catcalls. I rolled my eyes once I reached my floor and entered my office to see Ezio sitting in my chair.
Can this day get any worse? I return a tight lipped smile as he eyed me ravishingly. Aye my eyes are up here. I really don't want that right now but I'm going to bask in it for a little while. It is going to be his last so why not enjoy it.
"Good afternoon Mr. Bayek and Mr. Leonard."
"Good afternoon." Leonard said but Ezio thought it was best to ignore me. I flipped him a finger internally before getting a box from under my desk. I'm ready to pack my necessities. I'm also taking back my pencil from Clara's desk. Call me petty but I don't care.
"If you could excuse me...I'm here to pick up a few things."
I switched on the computer to delete a few files, of Ezio, before I continued packing the box. Have to get rid of any evidence. I looked to the side and saw Ezio watching my every move. I can't do it with him here. I groaned rubbing my temple when I accidentally clicked on a file and a picture of him popped up.
Shitshitshitshitshit. I tried clicking it off but before I could he had already pulled me away and was staring at the screen.
"What is this?" He growled out. I guess he's also a dog. How ironic. I stare at him trying to find a good excuse as he gave me a menacing glare.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I feigned ignorance. Good one Kristina. He'll definitely fall for that one.
Oh shut up. Good...I'm finally going crazy. I face palm myself internally and avoid Ezio's death glare. I turned to Leonard who buried his head into whatever he was jotting down. Ezio grabbed my wrist and pulled me out the office and into the elevator.
Dear lord...bless your child who has committed a grave sin and is now seeking repentance. Protect me from any danger that is ahead of me. Amen. Once we reached wherever he was taking me and I guess that's his office, he pulled me inside his office and locked the doors.
I'm too young to die. I haven't had our kids ye-
Before I could finish that sentence in my head as my eyes were plastered shut, I felt warm and soft lips pressed on mine.
Huh? Am I missing something.
He wiped his tongue against my lips asking for entrance and I complied. I released I breath I didn't know I was holding as he lifted me onto him and squeezed my ass before taking me to his desk. He placed me on it and broke the kiss whilst staring into my eyes.
"Kristina."
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him into the kiss as he wrapped his hands around my neck.
"Kristina."
"Mmm?"
"Get up you have to go to the office."
"What?" I gave him a puzzled look. "I am at the office." That's when I realized it was all a dream.
*
I give up. I looked up to see Keith staring down of me with a foot hovering over my body.
"You were going to step on me?!"
"If you didn't wake up but now that you're up so I can't." He stepped from my bed. "Breakfast is ready."
Another day in this household.

I especially like the little disappointment at the end. 😌
What about the little scene?? 😏
Any ideas for the next chapter? Tbh this was to be published right after Chapter 6 but I was feeling lazy so I held out until now.
