EL'S POV

"blackjack!" i scold, "you stupid bloody idiot!" i shout as i rush to the sidewalk through the crowd.

blackjack smiles at me once he finished stopping all the traffic coming his way and forces a door open and pulls a man out, "i got him, el!"

"yes, i can see." i cross my arms and chuckles.

he drags him off the road and throws him on the ground next to me.

i gag in disgust and use my heel to kick him away, "i don't need filth touching my shoes, thank you."

i inspect his scared face and smirks, "take him away, boys."

they nod, dragging him away to the car and holds him in the trunk.

pulling out my phone, i go to dial mike's number and he picks up on the first ring, "yeah, baby?"

"where you at? boys got a little present so i'm off now." i say as he grumbles something, "i'm stuck at work."

i huff, "why? leave that shit because i'm a higher priority."

he chuckles and doesn't respond.

"keep your priorities in check." i add, a small grin breaking on my face.

"fine alright. i'll finish this off and i'll meet you at mine in an hour. sound good?" he asks as i hum, "it's okay. i'll buy food as well then."

"thank you, darling." he says and i could already hear his smirk, "now get back to work and earn me some money to use." i tease, "see you."

"see you, el." he snorts and hangs up the phone as i place my phone away, "guys, drop me off at mike's house." i walk towards the car, "i'll be the navigator type shit."

"how lovely," diamond comments as i get into the front seat.

"where does your boy-toy live?" spade asks as he gets into the drivers seat.

"i said i'll navigate." i say.

"we all know you have a terrible sense of direction, el." ace says as i scowl, "do not! i just don't know his address because he brought me there so i'll navigate instead. i am very good at it."

"i beg to differ." blackjack grumbles as i give him the finger, "fuck you, i will show you how good i am at it."

"oh dear..." blaze mumbles as i scoff and cross my arms, "hit the gas, spade." i demand, "now."

it took us only like 45 minutes to find mike's house including buying dumpling takeout for food.

i say it is progress.

after the boys dropped me off inside the gate after my five minutes of trying to remember mike's passcode to his gate, i headed into his house and dropped off all the food onto the kitchen island.

those dumplings and noodles look so good. i want to start eating without him.

but that's rude, right? no, it's not. it is not.

smiling to myself, i circle the kitchen island and stand up on my tippy toes to grab the cutlery from the top cabinet.

i get that he's tall but he should've learnt to be considerate of others that are not.

after my mission on grabbing the tall ass cutlery, i sit back down on a stool and begin to unpack the food.

"love, may i ask who broke my fucking gate?" his voice echos through the mansion as a dumpling stops midway going into my mouth.
