TEMPTING THE DEVIL - EPISODE 16

I sat on the three size couch, my legs folded to each other, and the long blanket spread around my body.

The weather was normal but one might think I had luckily got out from an atlantic ocean.

I slowly chewed on my popcorn while I glared at the television with a dull and fainty eyes.

I wish I can sleep till god-knows-when, then I’ll wake up forgetting I had ever witness a murdering scene before.

I rubbed my both eyes, yawning like a stressed rat. This was the second time I was listening to the case at the beach, it’s all over the media.

I know it’s gonna be an assignment for tommorow. Mr Thompson won’t let this topic slide away.

The door open. I was too lazy to open it for whosoever that was knocking so, a maid came to open it instead.

” Good morning, Sir.” She greeted with a bow as Draco walked in with someone after him which I guess must be… Charles.

He stopped, staring at the television then at me. I would have guessed that it has something to do with him but I didn’t.

There were many Mafia Lords out there who also wants the worst of their fellow Mafia Lords.

I returned my gaze back to the television while he mutely walked passed me to his room.

My phone buzzed and I picked it from my corner, picking the call. ” Hey, Nat.” Dad said from the other side.

” Hey, Dad. Good morning. ” I greeted.

” Good morning. How you doing? ” He asked.

” Great. What about you? ” I asked back, dropping the popcorn beside me.

” Good too. I heard the news, what’s going on? ” He asked again.

” I don’t know, Dad. I don’t think here is safe anymore. I don’t think we all are. Dad please, just take me out of here for damn good, I freaking out of this shits. ”

” Look, Nat, running away won’t solve the problem. Your Visa needs to be renewed and it’s gonna take a lot of time and procedures. ”

” You think staying here is gonna help either? ” I said in a whisper. ” I’ll only end up in danger if his enemies finds out that we have a thing in common. ”

” You don’t have anything to do with Draco Luciano. ”

I rubbed my forehead. ” I don’t think you understand, dad. If they find out I live under the same roof with him, they’ll think I work for him or something like that. Or even use me as a bait to get to him. ”

” I know, but that shouldn’t be our problem now. ”

” What should? ”

” Staying alive. ”

The ray of the the car lights shun through my curtains, getting my attention that I quickly walked to the window to check on who it was. He was leaving for the third time today.

~ IN THE BAR CLUB ~

The loud music made it possible for one to hear the other. Draco with Charles and other of his men, about four of them sat in a round table, drinking on the five bottles of whiskey on their table.

They all had girls with them except from Draco and Charles. As usual, Charles was busy with his Cigar, puffing a large amount of smokes then he’d gulp his alcohol all at once.

There was a lady standing by the waiter’s table. One hand leaning on the table and the other hung on her waist.

She was talking to a guy who was an inch or two taller than her. Has a golden hair and tattoos on his two arms.

He was with a drink in one hand and a Cigar on the other, puffing every smoke he inhaled on the lady’s face.

Charles followed the direction of his eyes, chuckling. ” I can call her if you want.” He said and Draco removed his eyes from them. ” Besides, it’s just a night stand, isn’t it? ”

He smirked.

Charles, dropped his glass of whiskey on the table still with his cigarette in his hand, he walked up to the girl’s direction, standing in between the golden haired guy and her.

” Hello, pretty.” The girl seem to focus her intention to Charles. The other guy was vexed, he held Charles hand strongly.

Charles looked at him from head to toe, then at the hand he had grabbed. ” Take your f*cking hand off me.”

” Then you have to leave my girlfriend alone. ”

” Girlfriend? ” He chuckled, ” Well, she doesn’t look like one to me. Besides, I don’t think she was interested in whatever f*ck you were saying. Now get your motherf*cking hands off me or you’ll be kissing hell. ”

That really got the guy terrified that he quickly loosen his grip. ” Whatever.” He walked away.

Charles smirked, returning back to the young girl who has silently been watching them. ” So, would you like to hang out with someone bigger?”

” I hang out with any kind.”

” What about someone like this. ” He pointed to Draco’s direction.

” That’s my specialty. ” She smirked.

He looked at him, winking an eye as a sign that it actually worked.

Natalie was watching a movie when the door swung open. That was around eleven that night. She couldn’t sleep.

Each time she tries to, she keeps hearing those gunshots like history was repeating itself over and over again.

Her eyes followed Draco and the young lady who was with him. This was the first time she was seeing this happening.

Whatever he was up to with the lady was something Natalie doesn’t wanna think about.

” Who’s she?” She heard the girl ask him.

” She isn’t our business.” Well, that was something Natalie wanted to hear.

*

” Ahhh… F*ck me harder!” She could hear the moans from the sitting room. ” Don’t stop… keep f*cking. Yes.. that’s it… Your going there… Ahh. F*ck!!”

Natalie placed her ear plugs in her ears, avoiding the loud annoying moans of the lady. She hated why she was awake.

It was a lot better dreaming nightmares than to hear what was more annoying than the devil’s speech.

She went out for a walk, leaving both the house and atmosphere for them. She spent an hour at the coffee shop, staring as cars dashing from both direction of the road.

It was after twelve, everywhere was becoming dried and quiet, she decided to go back home, hoping they must have had enough for the night.

She quietly shut the door after her, bolting it. She switched on the light, flinching as she saw him sitting on one of the couch.

She didn’t say a word, but switched off the light, leaving to her room. She wondered why her life has to be so miserable everyday.

Each time she tries to make it lively, he was always there to ruin it for her.
