The Devilman's Epiphany ✔️

XXXII- Te iubesc

"My mom doesn't work with anyone but you, Rex. They are called the solivagants for a reason. It's because they work alone." I said and he narrowed his eyes. "Well. Your mom invited us tomorrow for a meeting. I said I assigned you for something so I could go alone, she said she wanted you to be there especially. She told me all this as Leonardo stared me down. Mark my words, Arabella. They're working together. Your mother said she's going to pay me tomorrow, that's the only reason why I accepted." I had to look away and zone out for a moment to gather my thoughts.

Why would my mom work with leonardo? She taught me to not be involved with other people much less trust them all my life. "I have a really bad feeling, Rex." I mumbled as leaned forward. "But it's not about us." I got up and walked towards him again. "You know I really like it when you zone out to think. You do it often. It's really sexy." I hummed and he smirked. Right when I almost cupped his face and leaned to kiss him again the door opened.

My hand in mid air swung a slap at him. I didn't recognise the person because I'm sure they didn't have blue hair. "Don't fucking tell me what to do!" I stomped like a child and Rex looked at me angrily.

"Fucking touch me one more time and I'll send you downstairs. You won't be questioning anyone this time." He pointed his finger at me and spoke viciously. "Uh." We heard the person mutter.

"What!" We yelled at the same time.

Carmelo was standing in front of the door with wide eyes. He actually looked like he enjoyed us like this. "I was going to ask Arabella to get some coffee or something." He said and Rex snapped. "Carmelo go to your house and whore around in there. Arabella's in time out. If she doesn't shut the fuck up for the next month I'm getting rid of her." He said and walked behind his desk furiously. "It's almost like you just don't want her to be around me, specially." He said as he crossed his arms.

"You know it really doesn't fucking matter what he thinks. I'll come with you." I looked at Rex. "I'll take Cameron with me as well." Carmelo raised his eyebrows. "Oh. You don't need him when I'm around. Trust me." Rex glared up. "Trust you? My ass. Cameron is coming with you whether you like it or not. I'm not going to save her ass a second time." I looked at him angrily. "You didn't save shit!" I heard the door knock and yelled for them to come in. Cameron swung his hair inside and checked around the room like there was a bomb planted in here before getting in. "I heard my name." He said and I walked beside Carmelo. "Follow us." I got in Carmelo's arm and just dragged him outside.

I'll be expecting my oscar around tomorrow morning, thank you.

I almost laughed at how dumb our improvise was.

"So! Where we goin' " Cameron cheered happily as he started walking next to me. I'm pretty sure Rex texted him and let him know what's happening. "You, are following behind." Carmelo said making us walk faster. I laughed at Cameron's annoyed expression. "Is he always like this? So annoying?" Carmelo rolled his eyes and I had stop myself from doing the same. "Yeah. Actually though, where are we going?" I asked after we got in his car. Maybe I should've kept on arguing with Rex so I wouldn't end up here. "My friend had a bar close by." I narrowed my eyes. "You said coffee." He smirked at me.

"Well, looks like you need something stronger. And so do I. Ease up." He winked at me. His whole trying to flirt think is very boringly noticeable. I think he makes it noticeable on purpose. What does he think? I'm a bit pissed at Rex so I'm going to fuck him? "I've seen you when we were kids. I'm actually offended that you don't remember me." He said as he ordered us drinks. I made sure I'm not being drugged. Not that I think Carmelo's trying to drug me, it's just a precaution.

"I didn't before but now I think I do. Are you that kid that once pissed Rex off so much he started throwing the training knifes at you?" He laughed at the memory before nodding. "I was pretty popular and it was a dare to go up to him and say bs. You know everyone wanted to get to you but you were really intimidating." I nodded. I kept that face on purpose, to scare them off just like Rex did. Mine wasn't optional though. I don't know how but I'm on my eighth shot now and almost threw up inside my mouth. Carmelo wasn't the worst person to be around when you're drunk. "Okay, Arabella. Rex is going to be pissed." Cameron picked me up and threw me over his shoulder as he pushed behind Carmelo's back for him to walk faster.

"Cameron. Put me down. Now." I said trying to sound like a villain from a cartoon. "Shut the fuck up." Okay, then. Buzzkill. "I thought you were fun to hang out." He placed me on the passenger seat and ran to the other door before also getting in. "I'd encourage this behaviour if we were in a closed safe place, Arabella. Rex won't get mad at you but he's going to kick my ass." He drove off and I looked at the back seat to find Carmelo drooling as he slept. I would've cringed if he was unattractive. Seriously, what's going on in Rex's family's genes? I'm going to congratulate Alina next time I see her.

If I see her again.

I felt my phone buzz and opened it before Cameron could snatch it away from my hand. He pulled to the front of our house after dropping Carmelo off at the warehouse. "Yess..." I said as I leaned my head back. "Arabella, don't fucking tell me you're fucking drunk." He snapped angrily and I felt a smirk reach my lips. "I'm fucking drunk." I said smugly and heard Rex sigh. Cameron face palmed aggressively and I laughed at the sound he made.

"Where are you?" I looked around. "In a car." He cussed. "Where is the fucking car?!" I almost laughed at how pissed off he was. "Outside your house." I leaned my head on the window and closed my eyes. "Oh fuck!" I heard Cameron flinch and someone knocked on the window I was leaning my forehead in. I looked up to see a pissed off Rex and grinned at him before waiving my hand. He opened the door and threw me over his shoulder just like Cameron. Am I a fucking object for these man? I mean, I kind of am. I guess.

I didn't hear him speak as he turned back and walked to the house. He walked upstairs with me still on his shoulder. "Don't yell at me again. It hurt." I said coldly and heard him sigh again. "Rex!" I felt him spank me and he just laughed before throwing me on his bed. "I can't believe you're this reckless." He said before throwing me a shirt. I put it on as he went to the bathroom. "Rex do you still keep stuff from me?" I asked when he leaned his head on my chest. "No. I don't see why I should." I narrowed my eyes and he raised his head to look at me.

"I mean there is that one thing I'm keeping from you. But I don't think you'd like to hear it now." I took a deep breath. "Why?" I leaned to the pillow and closed my eyes. "I don't think you're ready." I frowned. "I'm not thinking sexual, Rex." I saw him roll his eyes when I opened mine.

"I didn't mean sexual. I can tell you right now if you want." He smirked and I looked at him curiously. He laughed. "Te iubesc." I hugged and leaned back again. This isn't fair. "I meant in a language I can understand. What language is that anyway? Are you from there or do you just speak it to fuck with me." I said grumpily but he seemed to be in a good mood. "I'm Romanian, Arabella. Now go to bed, I have plans for tomorrow."
