SAINT
The mission was a success. It had been 2 weeks since that operation and mom was so happy when we succeeded. We nearly failed. We were so close to being caught, mom's secret was so close to being revealed. EZ would have been burnt to the ground but we succeeded. The girls were safe.
Going to work though was fuckin annoying especially since Evadne's boyfriend started showing up at her work place. I was fine with employees being in relationships but that didn't really apply to her.
Esmeralda came often and she seemed to be close with the Angelo guy. Sometimes they'd sit together and talk like old friends.
Evadne and Angelo were really close, too close for my liking even if they were in a romantic relationship. I hated it. I hated that he made her happy, the smile that was reserved for me was being awarded to Angelo.
The light used to see in her eyes was no longer mine to bask in. I shouldn't even feel an ounce of jealousy because I don't love her. All I wanted from her was her virgin cunt and I got that.
Seeing them together though was infuriating. Being replaced wasn't as fun when it was done to you. The fact that the Angelo guy loved her was worse. You couldn't deny he loved her even if you wanted to.
You could see it in the way he looked at her, the way he always seemed to show up and have fuckin time for her. The adoration in his eyes for her was enough to tell you he wasn't playing her. As much as I hoped he was playing her, that was a possibility I should throw out the window soon.
I sat today in my favourite corner of the club with my laptop making a contract agreement for our new business with the Russian mafia, Viola and most annoyingly my fathers twin brother. What was wrong with people busy having twin brothers. Fuck.
I tried so hard to focus on the contract at hand but after proofreading what I'd written 4 hours ago I found so many loopholes and errors. I groaned in frustration and shut my laptop. I'll just have to do this tomorrow or later on at home. There was too much distraction and so much I have to focus on.
I took out a cigarette and called in through the table mike for a waitress. To my fucking
amamzing luck, i got evadne as my waitress. She smiled at me like I was just one of her regular customers and not someone she had claimed to love a couple of weeks ago, or was it for a month.
"What can I do for you sir?"
I took a really good look at her. The outfit she was given today was…well decent i guess. It
wasn't a type of outfit she was usually given. Well not that her outfits were never this, well
outrageous.
She was wearing a red one shoulder bra top that had belts fastened as the main design to look savage and rebellious. The skirt was just a customized tutu skirt with lace belts as well and beneath was a short that had attachments to lace stockings paired with red bottom stiletto deals. Was she dressing up for that….
"uhm sir,if you haven't noticed there are only 3 waitresses today including me and the place is ..you know kinda packed today, so could you be a bit, you know…"
"So you have time for your boyfriend but not for your boss. Funny how you were begging me to stay, telling me you loved me and now you have moved on in a matter of weeks."
" I'm sorry."
"Come here."
She came closer without questioning me. Her scent hit me like nicotine coursing through my veins. The perfume she was using wasn't the same vanilla scented perfume she used when we were still together, this one was different. It definitely smelled familiar, too familiar, expensive in fact but i couldnt make out which brand it was but im sure she couldnt afford it with the job she had.
My closest guess was that if it is an expensive cologne, Angelo got it for her. I pulled her down and she fell on my lap. She tried to stand up but I held her down.
"My boyfriend is here sir. You're engaged, someone might see please.."
I buried my face on her neck, inhaling whatever remains of her original scent left on her skin, glad that she still used her vanilla soap. She stopped resisting and relaxed into my arms. She still felt something for me that I could say and I'm so glad she still felt something. I massaged her scalp and she fully relaxed into my arms.
I pulled her closer and kissed her. She gave me access immediately with no fight and I kept massaging her scalp with my other hand around her waist holding her in place.
Right now I wish I didn't choose this damn corner. I want her boyfriend to see this and break up with her then she'd be alone again. Evadne pulled away from the kiss and pulled away from me.
"Sorry sir. Sorry."
She turned away and disappeared into the crowd.
Esmeralda,"did you enjoy the kiss Clarence?"
I looked up to find Esmeralda sitting on the table next to mine. Had she been there all along?
Had I not noticed that she was sitting there all along?
"Es…Esmaralda…I…"
"You didn't even notice I was here all along did you? I saw everything Saint. She's supposed to be just a fling yet you stare at her like she's the only thing you've ever known. Do you even want to get engaged to me/? Do you even love me saint? I love you okay, I'm here because I love you. I tolerate you because I know what you've been through, I know why you're the way you are. The girl's trying to move on and you're sending her mixed signals. Angelo really loves her.
He loves her and he would worship the very ground she walks on. Don't take her away from him please."
" I do love you Esmeralda."
Esmeralda,"where? Where do you love me Saint? Which love? The one where you go around playing with innocent girls feelings. You kissed her Saint. You told me you wanted to help her.
You told me she was just a situationship and then. That girl deserves better. Angelo is that, he's serious about her. He loves her. Saint, it's you and I. We're going to get married. Please just…"
She stopped mid sentence and wiped the tears that had rolled down her face.
"Esmeralada . I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you. What can I do to make it up to you?"
"Marry me next week.'"
"What?""I don't want to get married in four months, I want to get married next week."
Why does she want to get married so soon?
"Fine."
She smiled at me then she hugged me. Esmeralda was never clingy but this time she stayed locked in the hug longer than ever. It wasn't like her to be emotional, it wasn't like her to be this…clingy. She started sobbing in my arms and I gently rubbed her back trying to calm her down. She kissed my neck a couple of times then cupped my face in her palms and kissed my face all over.
"I love you Saint, I love you so much. I love you with all my heart, I love you so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, even if it's just one month."
"One month?"
Esmeralda," I love you, always remember that."
She pulled me into a kiss, too desperate, too sloppy.
