"So tell me Miss Black. Who are you and what do you do!?" asked Jason
"Jason I am the leader of one of the most feared mafias." I replied
A look of dread and knowing passed his face.
He looked away and my heart sank.
"I formed this mafia two years ago. The men who attacked us were from our enemy's gang and they wanted to kill me." I stated.
"Yeah and I was caught in the mid and killed I don't know how many men with my hands." he said in disgust.
"Jason you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. I know how it feels but I can just say that you are no murderer. Those men are kidnappers, thiefs, cruel and evil and they deserve death." I said
"You don't even know how it feels!!" he yelled suddenly
"Jason I know. I killed a man three years ago in an alley. He was harassing a woman and while trying to save the woman I lost control and killed the man. I didn't sleep of weeks. Life was a nightmare. I just gave but Jason I then thought over it and realized that the fate of the woman if I hadn't saved her would be far more worst. It was just for a greater good. And we don't know how many people face the same fate and due to lack of power can't help themselves. Then I decided to make a mafia gang. At that time I had cut myself from Lina, Mylie and Anna. Anna was working in my company as a head of Fashion department, Mylie was dealing with her past and Lina had her own life. Then I met Jason and his friends Nel and Nico. We came to know each other and became very good friends. Together we laid the foundation of our mafia. We gathered recruits and I trained day and night with my trainer. James gave me my first gun and I became stronger. After a year my mafia was stable, my company was one of the world's best and I had friends with whom I felt like myself. Whom I could trust and tell anything. Lina's father helped me on every step. He knew my past and took me as his own daughter. His support and relations strengthened my mafia and company. But Jason after all this I haven't forgotten my first kill and I know that this wasn't your first kill either. " I explained
At my last words his eyes widened and he looked away, proving me right.
"I know how it feels to kill, to be helpless and to feel disgusted by yourself. You may think of me as a spoilt brat but I have had my share of darkness and sadness and I rised from within them. My heart had burnt and I have died not just once but a million times. " I finished

" I am sorry." Jason mumbled
" I didn't tell you this to pity me but to understand me and that I understand you. " I explained
Jason looked at me with his beautiful eyes with so much intensity that my heart melt.

My body and hearts weird reactions to his actions was surprising and confusing.

"How did you met Lina, Anna and Mylie?" he asked
"We have been friends since sixth grade. After I left my family and the country Lina came with me. She supported me and was always with me and brought me to her father. That is the point where he shaped me and gave me a purpose and I grew. Anna always wanted to be a model and fashion queen. She got an offer for a shoot and that was her lucky shot. She got offers from many other companies and then joined us here. Mylie had a terrible phase in her past that she doesn't tell anyone. I know her story because she was once drunk and came to my house and cried and cried and told me but I didn't mention it again. She was dealing with her past and the way she adopted was to become a player. Today fucking one guy and tomorrow another. Anna then went back to our country and brought her here to us so that we could be together. The years in which I made my company and my mafia were the shaping years for all of us." I finished

"You guys are some tough bitches." he said
I laughed at his words and then nodded.
"Ahh Jason don't you dare think that you will make me talk and get rid of me. I will make you spill your beans too." I said while leaning in towards him.
He too leaned in and then whispered
"I'd like to see you try." his breath fanned my face dulling my senses and I leaned further in.
"I will try and succeed." I whispered back. He leaned in too our hand over lapping each other and our lips almost touching.

Suddenly it started raining pulling us out of our own world. We both jumped apart as raindrops washed over us.

I stood up and swirled in the rain a big smile plastered on my face. I was happy that Jason had understood me and I felt quite light after telling him all of the story. I had listened to Nico and searched inside me and I found out that I myself didn't want Jason to have any mis understandings.

Jason then grabbed my hand and placed his other hand on my waist as we started dancing.

I laughed at his actions and leaned into his touch. My stomach was full of animals roaring loudly and my heart was soaring.

"You will have to live with me for a few days until the coast is clear and you are safe." I informed him
"Okay Boss." he replied and I smiled

Then we both separated and started walking towards the bike our hand entwined and smiles on our faces. Jason kept peeking glances at our hands and smiling while looking at them. For the first time in my life my heart was doing cartwheels and my stomach was a zoo. I didn't knew much about these things because I avoided this type of emotions and mostly I avoided boys other then my friends. But today I was craving, craving for Jason and his calm presence, his beautiful eyes and his soft hands on my body.

His affectionate touch was everywhere in my mind and I could only see his beautiful eyes. I knew I had to come out of this sooner or later but right now I wanted to forget my fight with my friends, my company's files and my gang's members. I wanted Jason to hold me and take me far away.

Those eyes

Were the last thought in mind as we walked towards the bike.
Jason drove the bike and I gripped him tightly leaning on his back with a smile palsterted on my face and my heart.
