Stalked by the Mafia Boss

Love is life, Love was essential, feelings were inevitable, suppressing them was nearly impossible sometimes and in some cases you just had to take the risk and give love a shot again even if your heart had been trampled upon severally.

These were the thoughts flowing through Korina’s mind as she got ready for her home date with Cole.

Grace’s words had invaded her mind severally and filled up her senses, she decided to give love another shot.

She had to admit that she at least felt an attraction towards Cole and she also felt if she gave it a shot it would blossom into a wonderful thing.

She knew Cole liked her a lot, it was obvious, the way he looked at her, his words and actions. She was sure he was gonna ask her out but she wasn’t certain.

That afternoon as she put her apartment in place, getting snacks and movies ready, she decided she was taking whatever Cole was bringing forth as far as it meant no harm.

It was nearly 4pm when she was done. She did a quick sweep of the apartment with her eyes and sighed in satisfaction, perfect.

It took her extra twenty minutes to freshen up and change into some comfy clothes.

Korina dropped her phone and stood up the moment she heard the door bell ring.

“Hey Cole.” She greeted opening the door.

“Hey sorry, I am late.” Cole replied, he was dressed in a basket ball outfit, a sweat band around his slightly ruffled hair, he looked hot, “I decided to shoot some hoops with the guys and got carried away, I didn’t even get the time to change.” He entered the apartment, “Sorry about my appearance.”

“Oh come on, it’s nothing.” Korina said leading him to the sofa, “Besides it suits you.”

“Thank you.” He blushed.

They both took their seats, none of them said a thing, speaking awkward glances at each other and sitting in uncomfortable silence.

“Uhhmm…” Korina cleared her throat finally breaking the silence, “I want to apologize.”

“What for?” Cole asked turning, he was now facing her fully.

“I want to apologize for the other day.” She scratched the back of her neck, “Our last date.”

“It’s okay, Korina.”

“No, it’s not Cole.” She said, “I was rude and you were only trying to help me, my attitude was uncalled for.”

“It’s okay dear, I understand, you were livid and it’s totally fine. It’s all his fault.” He said, he sincerely understood how she felt.

“Yea right.” She nodded, “Still sorry tho.”

“You should have let me punch the fucker in the face.” Cole said making a fist and doing a dramatic air punch.

“Hey, hey, I didn’t want us to cause a scene.” She laughed, “He wasn’t worth it.”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Well he started it.” He said, “you Should have let me teach him a lesson.”

“He isn’t worth it Cole.” She said again.

“Yea right.” He agreed with her, “He’s a flea bag, trash.”

Korina laughed at Cole’s insult and he smiled at her.

“I don’t know if I have ever told you this.” He said not taking his eyes off her, “Your laughter is beautiful like jingling bells on a Christmas morning.”

Korina felt her cheeks heating up, she was sure if she was white, her cheeks would have been a deep shade of red, her whole face even, “Well thank you, let’s get started on this home date.”

The man standing behind the tree in front of Korina’s apartment building shivered as he heard the words coming through the phone’s speaker.

“I am sorry boss.” He squeaked knowing fully well he was in trouble.

“The hell the you mean you are sorry?” His angry boss at the other end growled, the man could hear something break in the background, his boss must have probably thrown his wine glass.

“I tried to distract him I swear, I really tried to stop him from getting to her.” The man said, “I tried to stop him.”

He hoped his boss would be satisfied with his explanation which was very impossible.

“You have been trying to stop him since the very first date, you have never succeeded.” The boss growled, “Not even once.”

“I swear I tried my best, I really tried my best boss.”

“I don’t know why I keep sending you on this mission all the damn time.” The man heard something else break, it was probably the wine bottle this time.

“Boss, I really tried, the man is just…”

“Just? Just what uhh?” He asked cutting him off, “There is a man in there with my queen cuddling her and you are spewing trash.”

Maybe you should get your ass out here and stop him yourself, The man almost said but stopped himself, he wasn’t ready to join his father just yet.

“Now, he is giving her a forehead kiss, what the fuck?” He heard his boss groan.

“I am so sorry boss.” The man said knowing not what to do apart from apologising.

“How exactly did you try to stop him.” The boss asked, “What method did you employ?”

“Here’s what I did.”

“Fucking talk!”

“I ran in front of him and stopped him, greeted him and told him there was a bird with a human face down the street and asked if he was interested in seeing it and he said no, I told him my water bed was on fire he should come help put me out, can you believe boss, he looked at me like I was nuts. When those two didn’t work, I told him there was a human with a bird face up the street, he should come see it, he sad no. He has a problem boss.”

“Is that what you did?” His boss gritted his teeth.

“Yes boss.”

“We have a problem.”

“What is it boss?”

“The problem is you, Clement.”

“Sorry boss.”

“I should blow your brains out already.”

“No please boss, I will do better next time.”

“You don’t belong in the mafia, I should probably take you back to the circus.”

“I am very sorry boss.”

“Stop saying sorry, it’s beginning to irk me.”

“I apologise boss.”

“Just shut up!” He screamed, “Get out of there and drive down to the headquarters immediately.”

“Okay boss.” The man ended the call and grumbled as he marched to the car. He got in and drove off, cursing the dark haired man in basket ball outfit, all the way.
