The Stolen Leader 3 ; Selena's Flame

Ch 7

Sorry guys I know this is late but I've been dealing with so much right now

Ch 7
Brendan's pov
So I made Katherine Look for Cole and she texted him.
If Cole her Ex bf has connections to the Emerald Pythons then I could possibly get in.
I could say that I'm a dirty agent and I could get all the intell.
Yes we've sent Dirty cops but they got caught so fast.
I don't know how though.
So Kathrine and I are going to be meeting Cole and his fiancé Layla.
So now I have to get ready to meet them at Blackwood's cuisine.
It's a restaurant that's for super rich people.
Yes I make lots of money but not that much.
At this time Katherine Texted me.

Kathrine; Hey r u going to pick me up or do I have to pick u up?

Me-I'll pick you up.

Kathrine- okay, But I'm paying for gas tho

Me- You don't have to, you got us this opportunity. Who knew your ex would have connections to the Mafia?

Kathrine- Shut up.

Me- Ouch

She didn't text back.
I rolled my eyes.
I finished getting ready and I fed the two children I have.
Snickers was lying on my bed glaring at me.
" I'm not getting you your Cat nip" I say to her.
Now she looks mad.
Please don't fuck up my couch.
I paid lots of money for this house to look decent.
I leave my room slowly and I see Twix Sitting by my door.
He looks sad and he knows I'm going to leave.
They know I don't leave unless it's Monday through friday.
I have the weekends off and I normally take them with me.
Well not Snickers.
Since she hates leaving this house.
And she barely goes to the balcony.
She's small but not Small like a three week old kitten.
She's a little bigger.
" Twix, I told you buddy that I'm going out today"
He whines.
" I'll get Pizza tomorrow and we'll eat together while we watch Trash Tv"
He leaves with his tail down to my room.
I sigh.
Dramatic children I have.
A Dog who loves going out, And an Antisocial Kitten whose addiction is Bread and Catnip.
Oh no.
Is this what teenagers are like? I hope I don't have any.
Just One.
That's my limit.
One kid in the future.
I leave my house and go to my car.
I think I remember Katherines House due to her brother Making me go down there so I could see if she was Okay.
So I put the address in my GPS and Go.
It's about 16 minutes away from here so I guess that's okay.
I drive for about 15 minutes until I reach the suburban neighborhood.
Rich people be like :
Okay so is it 12 or 13
Agh.
Fuck.
I forgot.
Eh the houses are right by each other and I'll just honk.
I honk twice.
And Kathrine comes out of House 14.
Shit.
It was 14.
She comes out wearing a short, Silver dress that makes her figure pop.
Let's hope I get lucky.
Her blackish brown hair was neatly Straightened.
Huh that's new.
She always had messy hair in a bun due to her waking up early so she can be better than everyone else.
She waved.
And I honked again.
Urging her to hurry up.
She flipped me off with a smile.
I smirked.
She got in my car and smacked me playfully.
" Please don't mess up my hair" I say.
She shrugged.
" no promises"
" Until tonight" I winked at her.
" Behave," she says.
And with that I sped off.
When we got to the restaurant she waves at someone.
I'm guessing she's waving at the ex.
He can't be better looking then me- HOLY SHIT.
I may be straight but I'm considering being gay.
He has Dark tan skin, Silver eyes and Light brown hair.
Like a dirty blond but a little darker.
And I saw beside him was his fiancé.
Curly Red hair, Light skin and dark brown eyes almost black.
I'm guessing she's mixed.
Or Mexican.
" Hi I'm Cole and this is my Fiancé Layla" He says to me.
I shake his hand " I'm Brendan"
" And we all know I'm Kathrine," she jokes.
" We have to talk, Like  what happened to you after Sophomore year!?" Layla says, linking her arm with Kathrine.
" Just shit I had to do at home," she says.
She left because one of the teachers was harassing her.
And she couldn't deal with this shit but she lied to people and made up another story about what happened.
" Hello my name is Chelsea and I'll be helping you today, do you have a reservation?" She asks us.
Cole whispered something to her and her eyes widened and she led us to a private outside Table.
" We'll have a server come right away Mr De Luca" she says and she speed walks away.
What was that about?
Then I remembered.
The De Luca's, One of the Richest Families in New York.
Filthy rich.
And they were feared due to their money.
" So Cole, what do you do for a living?" I ask to make small talk as we sit down.
" I'm still in College for a month then I'll begin Training to take over my father's business"
I nod.
Nice.
" What about you?" Layla asks me, smiling.
" FBI agent"
They need to know we're FBI agents and then as we get closer then they'll find out we're supposed to be " Dirty agents" even though we're not.
It's a part of our Cover.
I could tell Layla Nudged Cole under the table and I decided to ignore it.
" So how have you two been? Because I want to know how the hell did you two get engaged" Kathrine says.
" I'm going to let Layla tell the story"  Cole put his hand over hers.
" So as you know we hated each other growing up, he always stopped guys from hanging out with me, and always pulled my hair" Layla smiles.
" -Then two years ago we started Liking each other. Then we fell in love. He actually proposed during a fight"
My eyes widened.
" How?"
" We were arguing over something stupid and out of nowhere he kissed me and asked me to marry him"
" Obviously she said yes because I'm so good looking"
Layla rolls her eyes.
" I thought I deflated that ego of yours?"
He chuckled " Yeah no this isn't going away anytime soon"
" A girl can dream though," Layla muttered.
" Awe now you two made me jealous" Kathrine pouted.
" I thought you hated all couples" I say as the waitress comes over here.
I forgot to look at the menu.
Can't I just get Chicken tenders and French fries?
" Hello my name is Trina and I'll be your waitress today, How can I start you guys off with?"
" We'll have the Best bottle of wine you can get," Layla says.
" We also need more time to think about what we want,"  Cole says, smiling.
" Of course I'll be back with the wine"  she says quickly.
" So are you two dating?" Layla asks with sudden interest.
Kathrine and I chuckle.
" No, I can't stand him sometimes, I would kill him"
I roll my eyes at her.
" I don't really do relationships, it's going to hurt you one way or another and not all love lasts, you break up or get Divorced" I explained.
Cole nods " That's what I used to think. Literally the exact same thing"
I stare at him with confusion " What changed?"
" I've seen Love, and I hated Layla growing up because she was too perfect then I saw her flaws and I realized she wasn't perfect but she was holding everything inside, and I knew that we had lots of shit in common. Then we started bonding over it and then look at us, Engaged. As soon as I take over my father's company I'm marrying her and it's going to be her dream wedding"
Damn.
" How don't you know you're love will die out?" I ask.
Cole and Layla smile.
" You don't" Cole says
" You can't just Unlove someone, You'll always love them but in a different way" Layla says.
I let that sit in my head for the rest of the night.
To be honest they seem like good people but I only think that for a while then I remember they're tied with the Mafia. And I remember they probably know people who killed innocent.
