Inferno desires

Ayla's POV:

Fuckin Xavier.

I was going to strangle him next time I saw him. Nova has already completed the jobs Frankie had given to her. I want to kill Xavier for letting her go through with this.

She's too sweet for this line of work, and if given a more serious task, she may break. If that happens I'll never forgive myself for letting this happen.

"Where the fuck is he," I state in a deadly calm tone.

"In there," says Santiago, a blonde haired man, with emerald green eyes.

I open the door and see Xavier picking a book from the library. This fucker probably didn't even know how to read.

"What?" He asks, not turning around.

"I'm only going to ask you once. Let Nova leave before it becomes too late," I say, refilling my pistol.

He lets out a small chuckle when he hears the click of my gun. Xavier then turns around with a grin plastered across his face.

"Why do you always have to be so dramatic," he sighs. "Nova decided to do this, and although I'm against it, I'd rather have me watching over her than some rando in our group."

"You're going to ruin her. She'll become lifeless as soon as she kills someone—"

"I'm not going to let that happen," says Xavier sternly. "And why do you even care? You're a selfish bitch who only worries about herself."

"That's rich coming from you," I scoff. "And how did you even find her, Xavier? Why are you so infatuated with Nova?"

"Have you seen her? What type of idiotic question even is that. She's perfect, and I want her."

"Well you're going to have to fight me, because I want her as well. And guess what? I always get what I want," I state.

"Ayla, I might just have to kill you then," he says without a hint of sarcasm.

He then walks toward me with an unwavering glare. He was much taller than me, and more built but I wasn't scared of him. I have taken down many men larger than him.

"You're little threat didn't scare me Xavier," I state.

"Oh, that wasn't a threat Ayla... it was a fuckin promise. I will kill you, I just don't know when."

"Aww so scared," I mock. "Xavier, the thing is, you can't kill me. I'm untouchable and you know that. Didn't your dad have a stern talking with you about how I am not allowed to be hurt or killed."

"Don't let that get to your head Ayla. He likes to change his mind," he says, pushing the gun out of his face.

He then walks past me, and out of the room.

Fuckin jerk.

Right when he leaves the room, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. Why was I getting this angry over the safety of a girl I just met a few weeks ago.

Nova's POV:

"You want to make cookies?" I ask Maya.

"Yeah of course!" She cheers. "Let's make chocolate chip ones."

I agree, then take out all the ingredients we need to make them. As I stirred the wet ingredients, she stirred the dry ones. She had flour sprayed across her face, with her tongue sticking out as she worked determinedly to stir her bowl properly.
