Stalked by the Mafia Boss

“And that’s how you became his girlfriend?” Daniella asked with a shocked expression, she couldn’t believe what Korina just told her.

“I am not his girlfriend.” Korina rolled her eyes at her cousin, “He might have been joking or something and how’s that even his first kiss?” She laughed loudly and stopped when she noticed her friends staring at her, their eyes unblinking.

“What?!” She asked them, “What is it? Why are you staring at me like that?”

“I am very sure it his first kiss.” Anne said, “Strange I know, but have you seen that man around you, man! He’s always nervous, I doubt he had ever approached a woman before you.”

“Anne is right and he is definitely serious about the girlfriend thing, like this dude is really into you.”

“Hmm.” Korina just nodded at them.

“And you like him?” Daniella asked.

“Don’t ask her girl.” Anne said, “She fucking likes him.”

“I do not like him.” Korina lied again.

“Yea, right!” Daniella scoffed, “You love him then.”

“Stop it Dan!” She growled.

“Stop lying Korina, admit you like him.” Anne probed.

“Fine! Fine! I do.” She grunted, “Happy?”

Her friends only answered her with giggles and she blushed at them, She liked Jace, She liked him a lot but she was frightened.

She didn’t want to give her all to a relationship that would come crumbling down eventually.

“What if she doesn’t accept to be your girlfriend? What would you do?” Ade asked his friend as he watched him throw aggressive punches at the black punching bag.

They were in the gym in Jace’s house working out.

“She doesn’t have a choice man.” Jace smirked then paused for a moment to catch his breath, “She’s mine now, I am done beating around the bush, I want her and I wanna have her, now!”

“Finally that’s my man.” Ade smiled patting Jace’s back, “Time to go after what you want.”

“Yea.” Jace sighed, “I have waited for too long.”

“But I think you should tell her the truth.” Ade said, “About everything, you wouldn’t want her finding out from a source that ain’t you.”

“I will but not now…” He said, ” Not now.”

He didn’t want Korina to leave him, he had the feeling she would once she found out all he had hidden from her, he was determined on keeping it all away from her till he could tell that she was gonna stay.

Korina was just getting out of the bathroom when her phone began to ring.

She walked carefully to where she kept it not wanting to slip and picked the phone when she got to where it was.

“Hello.” She spoke into the receiver, It was an unknown number.

“Hey Kitten.” It was Jace, his rich baritone voice drilling through her ears causing her pleasure.

“Jace?” She asked, “How did you get my number? I don’t remember giving you this line.”

“I am your boyfriend remember?”

“About that I…”

“Shh babe.” He hushed her, “Get prettied up, I am coming over.” She never got to respond even tho she had a lot to say, he had hung up.

She dropped the phone and walked to her closet, smiling sheepishly to herself as she got dressed, she was excited that he was coming over.

Korina had changed her clothing numerous number of times and she was getting riled up that she hadn’t found the perfect one.

Why am I trying so hard to impress him? she thought, it’s just a home date, nothing more or less so I definitely have to calm the fuck down.

It was either an outfit was too slutty or she found it too plain, she had never had it hard deciding on an outfit till this very moment.

Later on she settled for a big T-shirt and knee length shorts. Her hair was tied up in a silk scarf and she only had lip gloss on, she sat on the couch patiently awaiting his arrival.

The door bell rang and she raced towards it not hiding her excitement, she threw the door open.

“Hey Jace.” She jumped on him hugging him tightly.

“Easy.” He laughed, “Calm down babe.”

She got released from his embrace, “What’s wrong?” She asked seeing his face contort in pain and he was slouching grabbing his right shoulder.

“What happened to you Jace?” Her voice evident with worry, “Her you alright?”

“I got shot.” He replied.

Korina looked at his arm to confirm his statement and saw the blood oozing through his white shirt, she went into panic mode and let out a loud scream.

Jace winced as Korina touched the cotton bud on the bleeding area, “Can you sit still and stop acting like a child?” She huffed, “I am trying to clean up your wound.”

“Damn woman.” He grunted, “It hurts, so freaking much.”

“Well, I didn’t ask you to go get shot, did I?” She glared at him, “Sit still and let me clean this up.”

“Can I at least get a kiss?” Jace pouted winking at her.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Nope.” She wanted to smack his head, “Not until you tell me what the hell is going on.”

Jace didn’t say a word, he just leaned back and let her clean him up.

“Here.” She stretched out her hands holding a glass of water and pills, averting her gaze, “Drink it up and get some rest.”

“You know Korina.” Jace collected them from her, “You can peek at my abs if you want to, I am all yours and I don’t bite.” He smirked.

Korina’s cheeks got flamed up, she knew he must have caught her trying not to look, “Shut up Jace, you are just so full of yourself.” She hit him on his back causing him to smile real wide.

Hours later of him trying to convince Korina that he was shot by accident, he was knocked out, asleep on the couch.

Korina didn’t know if it was the weariness or pain or the after effect of the pills.

She had things to do but she sat there watching a shirtless Jace snoring slightly as his sleep got deeper.
