Our Girl

Bonus III

During their engagement

Michael

"I don't understand why we have to go. He's faking it" Leo complained, making a bowl of cereal.

"I think he's actually sick." I tried tying my tie but couldn't. Alex walked in looking very pissed off with Cerus and Neptune behind him. I looked at his stomach and saw a white strip just above the waistband of his shorts.

"What happened to you?" Leo fought back a smile.

Jasmine walked in laughing "Alex! I have to take it off!"

"Is that a wax strip?" I asked.

"Yes! He said I can do it and then he ran away" she explained.

"Let me do it" Leo smirked, reaching for Alex's chest.

"vaffanculo puttana" Alex slapped his hand away. (fuck off you cunt)

"Babe, please. It's going to be worse if you let it sit" She tried to walk towards him but he moved closer to Leo who was sitting at the table.

"That's your fault! I told you I didn't want to do it!" He raised his voice.

"Stop shouting at me or I'm going to cry!"

"You're always crying!" He shouted back. He's not entirely wrong but I'm going to keep my mouth shut.

"Shut up. You said I can!"

"No I didn't!" He looked offended.

"Yes you did!"

"No I didn't!"

"Yes you did!"

"No-"

"Shut up!" Leo shouted. "Just let her do it"

"No. It hurts"

"You're part of the mafia and you don't like pain inflicted on you? What a fucking hypocrite" said Jas.

"A hypocrite? I'm going to fucking-" Alex ran towards her, making her laugh and hide behind me as she grabbed my waist, using me as a shield.

"Alex. Just let her do it" I pushed him back, away from Jas.

He glared at Jas and then at Leo who was leaning back with his arms crossed and an amused look on his face.

Wow. Now I know why Jasmine doesn't shut up about how hot he is.

"This is the last time you're ever doing it" he looked at her.

He's so overdramatic.

"I promise" he pressed her lips together to hide a smile.

Jasmine went up to him and put a hand on his chest. "Count to three" he put a hand over his to stop her from doing it. She nodded her head. "Okay one- FUCK! JAS!" He yelped, making it harder for me to bite back a laugh.

"I'm sorry!" She put a hand over where she pulled the strip, looking up at him.

"Fuck you" he mumbled, pushing her hand away and walking out of the kitchen.

"Alex..." Jasmine slightly pouted, throwing the strip away and went after him.

"See. He's not sick" Leo stood up and put his bowl in the sink.

"But it's too late anyways" I sighed, struggling to put my tie on.

Why the fuck does Leo make it look so easy.

"And plus, it'll be a quick job. We'll go in, socialize, take Vladimir and deal with him here" I reasoned.

Jasmine walked back in and straight towards me and buried her face in my side, making me chuckle. "What happened, beautiful?"

"He's not talking to me. I didn't do anything!" She mumbled.

Leo chuckled "Don't stress about it, mi amor. He's going to forget about it in ten minutes"

"I'm not! This is going to be lingering in the back of my mind for the rest of my life" she looked up at us. "I didn't mean to make him shout at me. Ugh I'm going to apologize again" she turned around to leave but I pulled her back and put my hands on her waist, lifting her up and placing her on the island. She was wearing short shorts so her thighs kind of slapped the counter.

"Ow?!" She pushed my shoulder gently. I chuckled and took off my tie and handed it to her. "Can you not do it?" She asked.

"I can....I just- I can. Okay?"

She smiled and put it over my head but stared at it for a while. She looked behind me at Leo and then started tying it so I can only assume he was showing her how to.

Her concentration face was the most adorable thing ever.

"I really didn't mean to make Alex upset." She said whilst tying my tie.

I chuckled and put my hands on her thighs and squeezed them. "Sweetheart-"

"He said I could because I had just finished doing my upper lip and the wax was still hot and then when I put it on he said he didn't want to do it anymore and I couldn't back out now?! I didn't intend to upset him" she explained as she finished doing my tie.

I put my hand over her mouth "Sweetheart it wasn't your fault. Alex is just a bit of a drama queen. He'll get over it"

She sighed and rested her forehead on my shoulder "What time are you guys coming back?"

"Late." I replied.

"Then I'll stay up until you come"

"No you won't. Your sleeping schedule is messed up as it is" Leo said.

"No it isn't"

"What time did you sleep last night?" I asked.

"One?"

"She was up watching YouTube until six" Leo chimed in.

"Jasmine?"

"That is crazy" She sat up and pressed her lips together in a straight line.

Just as I was about to say something, the doorbell rang.

"That's our date" I winked, kissing her softly. She smiled and rolled her eyes. "Go to sleep early" I ordered, putting my shoes on.

She saluted me "Yes sir"

"If Al doesn't get over it, we'll come back straight away" he picked her up off the island and walked out of the kitchen.

No we won't.

"no es realmente tu cita, ¿verdad?" She whispered to him for reassurance, making him chuckle. (It's not really your date, is it?)

"Por supuesto que no, mi amor." He kissed her forehead before putting her down. (Of course not, my love)

"Okay that's- oh my- I just realized how to make him forgive me" she smirked and walked towards the stairs.

"How?" I asked.

She turned around and pressed her tongue in the inside of her cheek and ran upstairs.

"I'm going to fucking kill you" Leo grumbled, storming out of the house.

I would to.
