CYRUS FOX

Bzz bzz..

I checked my phone. I just received the last $500 of the 50 grand from Riley.

"Is that Malverick?" Terry asked as he drove on our way to Vixen's house. "I just made $50 000." I said flatly, putting my phone away as I did so. "Why is that not an achievement? "

"I don't need it. "

"Feeling rich? "

"It's from Riley. " I sighed, making him realize something. I could tell from the way he smirked as he slowed down.

"You love her, don't you. " he asked as we stopped in front of her house.

It had only been two months since Terry and I started working together really well. Eventually, we knew things about each other. We understood each other I just couldn't understand how he couldn't understand this.

"I told you-" Let me know when you realize it, alright? " He interrupted, "you will soon enough. " I just got out of the car and looked at him through the window he just opened.

"You sampled some of the Cocaine we sold, didn't you. " I joked. He just smirked as he drove off. Then I walked to the front door.

I care about Vixen, sure. But I don't love her. I can't love her. That's just not possible for me to do.

I entered the house and Vixen greeted me with a hug. "Babe! " she smiled as she pulled away.

"What are you doing here so late? "

"Well,I was in the neighborhood and I just thought I'd stop by to see you."

"Cian sent you, didn't he." She asked, knowing why I'm actually here. "You can't stay home alone and you know that. " I explained.

Cian was gonna be working all night, Saviour had his exams this week so he was staying on campus and Jordan's having a sleepover at his friend's house for the weekend. So Cian asked me to come over tonight.

"I hate that you don't trust me. " she whined as she sat on the couch. I put a movie on on Netflix and sat next to her. I gave her a peck on the cheek as I put my arm around her.

" I do trust you. "I lied, " it's just that, Cian doesn't. "

Honestly, that wasn't entirely a lie. I mean, it's not that I don't trust her but she is capable of burning a house down and Cian wouldn't like that...

Vixen had dozed off during the movie so as the movie came to an end, I carried carried her to her room and layed her in her bed. I covered her with her blanket,"Goodnight." I whispered. I was about to get off her bed when I felt a hand grip my wrist.

"Please. Stay." Vee whispered as she turned to face me.

I tried to take my hand away from her grip but she just held on tighter. "Pleeeasee... " she whined. I sighed as I sat by her. She sat up for a while and crossed her legs, I promise I won't kick you in my sleep. " she said with a sparkle in her big turquoise eyes, which look a shade lighter.

"Alright, I'll lay I'm bed with you. "

She then moved over to the other side of the bed then patted the the bed to the spot where I was gonna sleep and patiently waited for me to get in.

We then lay in bed, me on one side of the bed and Vixen on the other. It didn't take too long for Vee to fall asleep.

I looked to my right where Vixen's body was currently sleeping. She looked so peaceful in her sleep. She looked so.. Beautiful. The shape of her body was undeniably breathtaking. I just couldn't keep my eyes off her. I could stare at her for hours.

All of a sudden, Vixen's weight shifted towards me and she put her head over my chest. "Please.. Protect me. " she mumbled I'm her sleep. It was adorable.

I put my arm on her back and she moved even closer to my body, putting is in a cuddling position.

"Don't worry, I always will. " I whispered, giving her a kiss on her forehead, despite knowing that she couldn't hear me because she was only sleep talking.

She smiled as I held her in my embrace. I stroked her hair as I looked at her, analyzing her features. Her lips are small and plump. Every time she smiles, her dimple on her right cheek would show. Her hourglass figure felt so perfect next to my body and her hands are so smooth.

I have a whole different s
Feeling whenever I'm with Vixen. I just don't know what it is. Eventually, I dozed off and fell asleep...

It was around 04 00AM in the morning when I was awoken by my ringtone.

I got out of bed and left the room, carefully closing the door behind me.

"What is it, Malverick? " I answered flatly, hating the fact that he called at this time.

"Oh, so that's who you left me in Argentina for? " I heard Savio's sarcastic voice, giving me a slight bit of panic. "Savio"-No, No. You have your reasons. But your ring in Argentina is dying. " he informed me,

"you're losing business. I tried to help running things but it's not enough when the cops are at each and every corner. You're better at running those business that I am. All for someone as worthless as Malverick. I mean, I knew you were an idiot but I didn't think you'd be stupid enough to go back to the gang that sold you out!" He chuckled.

"Listen, Savio-" you've got 24 hours, Cyrus. You'd be risking your freedom if you're not here within that time. " Savio interrupted me once again, "your choice, Cyrus. " he hung up.

I just looked at Vixen's bedroom door. I can't just leave her. But I had to. It's the business after all. I walked downstairs, grabbed my jacket and was about to walk out.

"Where do you think you're going? " Vixen asked as she made her way down the stairs.

"I need to catch a flight. " I answered flatly about to walk out when she stopped me. "To where? Where exactly do you need to be at four in the morning that can't wait till later?!" She asked seriously now. I couldn't stand the fact that was hurting her for some reason. But I had to leave.

I just stayed silent as I tried to remove my hand but she just held on tighter.

"Vixen, I need to go. " "All I'm asking is why now? " her voice shifting from angry to hurt. "You don't news to know that. " I said, removing my hand from her grip about to open the door when she stood in front of it.

"Yes I do. " her voice started to break, "I'm your girlfriend, remember? " I started to get agitated. "Vixen. Move. " "Not until you give me a proper answer! " My patience wore thin. I just pushed her aside abruptly, opened the door and walked out.

"Why are you doing this?"

She asked with teary eyes as she stood against the door frame. Her question stopping me in my tracks.

"You wouldn't understand. "

I answered, looking to my side as I did so. Then I faces forward as I continued to walk away from her.

If only you could
