The last delicious spoon of ice cream was about to go into my mouth when Vince's phone rang, he groans and places his cup on top of the car's dashboard, "¿Hola, qué pasó? [hey, what happened?]" he speaks and I roll my eyes at his rude tone, this man.
Once the person on the other line replies, I can see Vince's eyes widen, that's when worry sets in my heart... Lucca or Allegra couldn't have done anything, right? "Como puede faltar has mirado por todas partes? [how can it be missing? have you looked everywhere?]" Vince seethes into the phone and I try to understand what the hell he's talking about.
That's when after hearing the person reply, his knuckles slam into the steering wheel and I flinch, shit, he pinches the bridge of his nose and I can see him trying so hard not to lose his patience, "No puede faltar, encuéntralo o te mato [it can't be missing, find it or I'll kill you]" Vince grits into the phone and hangs up.
"Is everything okay?" I ask, being careful about not pissing him off more, but surprisingly the moment his eyes meet mine, whatever anger that was there seemed to just dissolve, it makes my heart melt into a puddle. "Sorry, one of my idiotic men lost the stock we stole from Lucca, it's gone, how could it just be gone?" Vince mumbles and I frown.
I place my hand on him, "It can't be gone unless you kept it in a place where it's accessible, where'd you hide it?" I question and Vince gets lost in thought, "Basement, in the dungeon, inside one of the hidden cupboards, nobody from outside the mansion can get in there," he explains and something clicks in my mind.
"Then there's your answer, it's an inside job, someone from inside the mansion got a hold of it," I say and he shuts his eyes, his jaw clenching but at the touch of my fingertips grazing the side of his face, he lets loose and breathes. "I need you to calm down Vince, it's okay, we can either steal more or find this one," I whisper and he nods.
"Well, hold on, apparently Zahir hid some other stock somewhere else, let me check if that's intact at least," he murmurs and picks up his phone once more, Zahir? Where did he get the stock from? Out of thin air? I highly doubt it.
"Yeah hi, I bet you heard about the stock that was taken from downstairs, one of the workers called me. I wanted to know if your portion of it is safe, the one you stole?" Vince speaks, his leg nervously bouncing up and down on the car floorboard, I quickly place my palm on his knee and stop him. He lets out a sigh and drops his head forward hearing whatever Zahir said, "Fine... fine." He states and hangs up.
My hands leave his leg to hold his face because he looked really nervous for some reason, I didn't like it, it made me very worried, "What? What did he say?" I concerningly question but Vince doesn't say anything, instead, he leans over the gearshift and presses his lips on mine.
I kiss him back but he stops after a moment, his breathing heavy and tense, "If my dad finds out, I'm going to be dead," he breathes out and I shake my head, still holding his face in the palm of my hands, "It's gone? all of the stock?" I choke out and he winces, he nods and tries to tear his gaze away from mine but I don't let him. I need him to look at me.
