deuxième amour

XV- our pasts-

Aldrin Ledger

The damage was not easily repairable

Many classified files like the files of all our secret spies was stolen. The the financial damage was more than anything. All the guns in my house were taken. We had tons more obviously but they cost hundreds of thousands.

I won't take a genius to conclude it was the ophidians' work. And the letter found near the front door just proved the theory

BOOM!
Sorry i meant-
Surprise!
-Andromeda (the Ophidians)

Ended with the same dark lipstick mark.

Fayre still doesn't know anything about my past, she only knows i am a gang leader. I keep telling myself that she stayed after knowing that so she'll stay after anything i tell her

We are staying at fayre's apartment for the weekend while everything at the house is being fixed and the security system is being installed

I was working from her dinning table as I wasn't to leave this house. Zakai my new assistant was looking over stuff while i was in literal house arrest. It would've been better if i had my girlfriend with me but she was busy with her new job at the cafe and her school which was starting tomorrow

"Im home" i hear from the front door and i stopped myself from running over to her like a fucking pet dog.

When i walk closer to her, i hug her close to my chest. She giggles "what's wrong?" She asked. I grumbled

"I just missed you." I take her wrist in my hand and rub it. She sighed and gave into my arms "im tired" she mumbled

I take her in my arms and carry her to the couch "anything you need?" I ask. She smiled at me "a drink please and thank you"

I kissed her forehead and got her a lime water, something she has stocked in our fridge "there you go" she drank the whole glass and i got on the couch beside her and put her feet on my lap "rest" i said

She didn't say anything. My hands were around her ankles in a soothing manner

"Don't make me sleepy, i have homework" she grumbled in a cute voice. I smiled and continued rubbing her ankles

"I have to leave for Alabama soon" she said. I hummed in interest

She hummed back "my sisters bridal shower" she smiled. This is how i can tell her. I just realised that I don't really know much about her family either

"How is your relationship with your family ?" I asked cautiously not to make her mad. I know she isn't exactly fond of her sister

She shrugged staring up at the ceiling "we aren't close but we dont hate each other"

"My parents were fine i guess, they gave us what we needed but they didn't ask us how we were or how school was. They died in a car accident when i was in sophomore year of high school. My sister took my guardianship. What about you?" She asked. My hands hardened around her ankle before i released it

"Um, my mum left a day after i was born, my dad was fine in comparison to the other mafia dons, he gave me my training but didn't ever beat me or shit like that. Family wasn't something we called each other tho. The only real close person i had was nathan, my best friend." I said absent mindedly, i looked to my side to see she had sat up a little to pay attention to me

"Was he in the mafia as well?" She asked and i nodded

"Our dads were friends. We met when we were around 7. At the time I didn't really know about the mafia but his training had already started. He always used to say he envied my fathers way."

She smiled a little "do you both still talk?" She asked. I had a decision on what I would tell her

I shook my head "3 years ago, we were in a fight. He had called me for help but when i reached him he was already shot in the head. He is in a coma right now"

I heard her inhale sharply. She moved closer and hugged me. I didn't move my hands and let her pull me closer

"Im sorry, Can we go visit him sometime?" She asked

I never went to visit him with someone, it was always alone. Because i was alone. But now i have fayre.

I nodded and she smiled.

I feel guilty for not telling her about vivian. She was a huge part of my life and she deserves to be mentioned to my first love

Whatever i had with vi wasn't love. It was nothing compared to what i had with fayre. She was the one i wanted to end up with

"Tell me more about nathan" fayre smiled. I chuckled

"He really was a son of a bitch" i smiled at the memory of my best friend.

"Don't say that!" Fayre hit my arm and we both laughed. I roll my eyes "he's not dead fayre"

"Tell me more about you now" i said, she thought for a while

"The only thing that comes to my mind when i think about high school is 'hell'. I was bullied, the boys at my high school used to try and touch me, jump me. As i said before, they were douche bags" she said smiling sadly

I pulled her closer "I'm sorry you had to go through that, i wish i was there for you"

She shook her head "you didn't know me, it's fine. Besides i have you now and thats all that matters"

She looked deep in my eyes from a inches far. Her eyes widen a fraction, just now realising our distance

"Hi" i grinned

"Hey asshole" she chirped.

"Your asshole" i say and move her to my lap

"I don't claim you" she teased. I narrowed my eyes

"How about you change that?" I kissed her knuckled and her eyes gleamed

She kissed me deeply and when she bit my lip, my tongue made its way inside her mouth to remind her who was incharge. She growled like a baby kitten and i chuckled. She pulled away and started kissing my chin. Then my jaw and my adam's apple

The way she spent decent time on each spot made my gulp and her mouth followed as my adams apple bobbed. Then she moved to the side of my neck. I grabbed her waist tighter as she teasingly bit my neck

"Fayre" i moaned and she groaned in desperation. Then she gave me a fucking hickey and i fucking loved it
