Taken By The Mafia Lord

370 The Word, Quickie

“Seriously, why are you absent-minded on this important day?!” Mimi came bursting into the room after minutes of her unanswered knocks on the door.

Her friend came over to her bed and peppered her with questions, “After what happened with Marcel last night, I was hoping you would be at your best form this morning, what’s with this depressing air? What happened? Was the sex bad? I mean that is quite hard to believe with Marcel’s reputation? Or wait a minute, was he too big? I know virgins and first times,” Mimi gasped, appearing sympathetic to the so- thought reason for her foul mood.

But what she got in return was a glare from Arianna and she frowned, scratching the back of her head. Did she say something wrong? Or wasn’t that the case?

Arianna sighed, sometimes she wondered why she was friends with this airhead. Of course, Mimi was able to conclude what happened last night because she tricked her into coming to the gazebo.

“Please say something, Arianna. I am dying of both curiosity and anxiety!” Mimi demanded, placing both hands on her shoulder and shook her desperately.

However, her voice turned meek in the next seconds, “Pretty please?”

“Well, if it pleases you, then you should know that we didn’t have any sex.”

“Huh?” Mimi found that hard to believe.

“Well, he said I could have sex with him when I’m back from the mission today. However, he was good at oral, how’s that for some gossip?” Arianna had no choice but to spill.

.....

You could never hide anything from Mimi, the girl had a way of drawing secrets from one’s mouth. Moreover, she’s her best friend and they’ve shared deeper secrets than this.

“Oh, my gee! ” Mimi squealed, cupping her mouth to limit the noise. However, she drew closer to Arianna, eager for more, “On a scale of one to ten, tell me how good it was?”

“How good was it?” Arianna mused over the question. However, when the visual images of Marcel’s tormenting her sex last night popped up in her head, a blush covered her cheeks and Mimi saw all that.

“He’s that good, isn’t he?” She grinned knowingly and Arianna blushed deeper. As much as Mimi was her friend, it was still embarrassing nonetheless.

“Although, I’m no longer sure Marcel feels the same way,”

“What?” the excitement vanished from Mimi’s face, “What are you talking about?”

“I think Marcel is not that...” Arianna paused upon realizing her line of thought sounded ridiculous. She was doubting Marcel’s affection for her even after everything?

She went on, “I mean... I don’t even know if this mission will go well. For as much as I know, yesterday might be our last night together. I was hoping that he would want to make the most of it....” When Arianna looked up at her friend, she realized Mimi was still a bit lost.

“The point is, I wasn’t expecting to wake up in my bed, Mimi but his. I imagined waking up in his arms with him afraid to let me go ahead with this mission, isn’t that what people in love do? Be scared for each other’s safety? But here I am, all alone. You’re even my first guest this morning, congratulations. ” Arianna threw her hands up in resignation.

“Well, you can’t come to that conclusion without seeking him out first. He must have a good reason for not warming your bed last night,” Mimi teased her. Apparently, she didn’t see this as a big deal.

Unfortunately, Arianna was beginning to have second thoughts about all of it. She had acted on her emotion last night and now that she was no longer high on it, the doubt set in. What if those emotions were being wasted on the wrong person? Yes, she liked Marcel, but what if, all of this was a huge mistake.

“Fine, I’ll talk to him then,” She added immediately, “After I’m done with my morning ritual!” Arianna took the clothes she would change into and hurriedly rushed into the bathroom. If she was going to talk to Marcel, it wouldn’t be with a stinking breath.

Arianna hurried up with everything knowing that she was running out of time. They would go downstairs for a debrief of the plan, covering up every possible loophole they might have overlooked yesterday. Their plan couldn’t fail, hence they were very elaborate.

Arianna was just about to leave when out of the corner of her eyes, she noticed numerous hickeys on her neck through the wall mirror.

“What the...!” Arianna nearly screamed in shock. No wonder Mimi proudly said those words earlier. How was she going to function in her mission today with the hickeys on her? What would people think? No, what was Marcel thinking? If only she knew Marcel merely staked his claim in her.

At this rate, she would have to wear a turtleneck! Arianna was infuriated as she stomped back to her room, ready to complain to her best friend, “Mimi, do you know what....”

Arianna trailed off when she saw the devil himself aka Marcel standing in the middle of her room, his hands behind his back with Mimi giving her a knowing wink. Just like that, Arianna forgot the reason she was angry in the first place.

“Marcel...” She breathed.

“Arianna,” Marcel responded, staring at her and noticing the fact she just stepped out of the shower.

His blatant stare made her nipples pucker and Arianna willed her body to behave. Why must she behave like a wolf in heat?!

“I hope you had a pleasant night?” Marcel asked, and she sensed something beneath those lines. What was it? Sarcasm? Sincere concern or was he teasing her again? He nearly drove her mad with pleasure last night? Why was he suddenly being modest? It didn’t suit him.

” I did. ” Arianna said curtly and waited. Yeah, waiting for what?

Marcel then looked at Mimi who had been staring at them with rapt tension. Sometimes Arianna swore Mimi was living her life through her and it was quite creepy, sometimes.

“Of course!” Mimi understood the cue, “I’ll leave you two love birds alone!” She clapped her hands awkwardly.

Yep, it was awkward.

And she stood to her feet and rushed towards the door and opened it to leave. But not without making a sexual gesture with the whole of her fist and Arianna hid her face, wishing the ground would open up and swallow her.

The door closed and the awkwardness heightened.

It seems Mimi’s presence had made the tension less, but now it was just her and Marcel, the same couldn’t be said.

“So...” Marcel barely took a step forward when the door suddenly opened and Mimi’s head peeked out.

“Sorry for the interference, you two lovebirds, but a quick reminder. Anything, you’re going to do, be quick please, we need to be at the cleaning company by eight. Yeah, that’s the word, quickie!” She shut the door.

Kill me, Arianna breathed.
