Inferno desires

Xavier's POV:

"What the fuck happened Xavier!" Shouts Ayla.

"I don't know," I say, my heart beating extremely fast.

"You don't fuckin know?" She scoffed. "You were supposed to be watching her!"

Ayla then pushes me to the side, and sits on the seat that faced my bed where Nova was laying on. When she fainted my heart stopped. I immediately stopped what I was doing, and grabbed her before she could hit the floor, taking her up the stairs and into my car.

I made sure to check her pulse every now and then because I didn't want things to go even more sideways. I drove very quickly until I reached my house, and gently placed her on my bed.

"Why isn't she waking up," snaps Ayla, glaring at me.

"She will soon," I state. "Now shut up."

"Fuck you Xavier. How dare you not stop her from joining us. Do you want her to die?" She says in a cold tone.

I just ignored her. Was this girl stupid! Why would I want Nova to die? I wanted her to be happy, and get information on her case.

"Shit," mumbles Nova under her breath.

"Nova," both Ayla and I say frantically.

Nova positions herself upward on the bed, and narrows her eyes at me.

"Who are you?"

I could feel myself starting to hyperventilate. All she did was faint. I caught her before she hit the ground? Why is she saying that?

"Nah I'm just playing," she laughs.

"Don't fuckin joke like that!" I declare.

"Nova, you goddamn scared me! Are you feeling okay?" Asks Ayla softly, playing with Nova's hair.

"I'm fine Ayla," Nova smiles.

"Just making sure," she chuckles.

Ayla pisses me off. Why is she, one, all up on Nova like that, and two, acting like she cares. The Ayla I know gives zero shits about anyone and only uses other people for her own gain.

Ring

Ayla answers her phone, then soon after looks at me with annoyance.

"Couldn't even finish the fuckin job either," she scoffs. "Nova I have to go, but I'll check up on you tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay," she nods.

Ayla then leaves, and I am left with a smiling Nova.

"Did you really think I forgot you?" She teases.

"It wasn't funny mama. You really had me scared," I huff, taking a seat beside her.

"Well that's what happens when I see a lot of blood," she says. "You know I fainted twice at one of the crime scenes I was assigned to."

She then started to babble about random things, which I found cute. You can tell just by looking into her eyes how much she loves her job, and how much she loves Maya. Whenever she speaks about either of the two, her eyes twinkle.

"So what happened to him?" She asked abruptly.

"He's alive," I grunt.

"Good, because I want to ask him some questions."

"Are you out of your mind? You aren't going back," I state, in an unwavering tone. "Now go back to sleep," I say, getting up from the bed.

She pouts her lips, but nevertheless stops arguing.

"Are you really going to leave me alone though?" She asks, grabbing my hand, stopping me from leaving.

"Well I suppose not," I say.

She scooches over, so I place myself beside her under the comforter. I was already changed into some sweats, and a white tee, but Nova was still in that pretty ass dress with my sweats on.

"Why'd you kiss me," I ask, laying on my side as I looked at her.

She then went onto her side, and looked at me with a cheeky smile on her face. I don't think I'll ever get over how goddamn beautiful this woman is. I have never felt like this with any girl before, so when I got butterflies in my stomach from just her presence the first day I saw her, I knew instantly I had to have her.

"Just cause," she teases.

"I'm serious mama. I like you if you haven't figured it out yet, and that kiss meant something to me. So imma ask again, why'd you do it? Or do I have to fuck the answer out of you," I say, brushing my thumb against her lower lip.

Nova's eyes widen, as she looks at me. I could tell she was slightly flustered because her mouth always opened slightly whenever she was.

"I did it because I wanted to," she says.

"But why did you want to?"

"Because I find myself liking you even though I shouldn't."

"And why is that," I say, moving my body closer to her.

"I... you kill people Xavier," she says, but with no judgment in her eyes.

"I know I do, but it's not what you think. My organization isn't a 'bad' one compared to all the others," I say.

It was the truth. When I became leader of the Red Dragons, I made sure that we would work as a group to keep the rest of the other Mafia organizations in check. Yes, we occasionally beat up, and sometimes possibly unalive a person every now and then, but trust me, it's well deserved.

"I believe you," she then says.

"Thank god," I smile.

We talk for a while longer until she looks up at me with her big tired eyes.

"What time is it?"

I look at the clock above.

"2:24 am," I say.

"Goodnight," she then says, before shutting her eyes.

"Goodnight mama," I say quietly, before closing my eyes as well.

I think I'm in love. Wait scratch that... I am in love.
