lick And Cake

Apollo's pov....
I looked at my cellphone once again. No messages
No texts . Nothing from her in over two weeks, i worried that I might have ruined things between, after realising that I had undeniable attraction to Angel, I excused my self running to the bathroom where I popped open the window running away from the bar.
What I felt for Angel was quick and somewhat exhilarating, I expected her to chase after me as I ran but she looked at me running sipping her scotch. The next morning the bags filled with the things she had bought me were delivered to me without so much as a note. I bit my lip and pushed my glasses back looking at my phone. Her silence was defeaning and it made me anxious.
Thoughts crossed my mind, Had she replaced me, or she had grown bored of the hunt. I groaned out, throwing the case file off my lap, at the moment I couldn't careless about the defence I was prepping for all I needed to know was the dark eyed beauty that roamed freely in my mind.

"Ughh" I stood up from my couch, picking up, my keys and wallet, I threw a random hoodie over my head and wore my slides. I decided to go to her condo.
I got in my jeep stopping my the bakery to buy cake, perhaps this could be a point in my favor

I parked infront of her gated condo, I didn't see any car parked up front just the guards who were patrolling.
A stocky guard walked towards me with a note in his hands. "She Is not here" his voice rich of his Italian Accent
"She is at the Capos house " he handed me the note and walked away. I stood there looking at the address, weighing the pros and cons in my mind.
I jumped back into my car
"You won't kill me right Angel." I tapped on the wheel, driving slowly into the compound, everywhere I turned, there were eyes on me, and what freaked me out were the guns, despite tucked I could still see them, I was basically a lamb for slaughter. My grip tightened around the wheel as I continued to take in the compound despite already parked. The door opened and I yelped because I hadn't opened the door. I looked at the man infront of me, he was good-looking, Masculine and the jagged scar on his face made him all the while dangerous.
His emotionless face moved but I was fixated on the scar to even comprehend what he said. I shook my head
"I am sorry, what did you say" he buttoned his suit jacket and repeated slowly "Follow me " he said and i stepped out of my car following him into the massive house. The man left me standing awkwardly in the living room, I poked around, admiring the the paintings when someone touched my hair. I turned facing a beautiful blonde, her head was tilted looking at me wondering why my mouth was agape.

She pinched my nose "You're so pretty, i see why Angel likes you now" I blinked slowly, the colour red painted my neck and cheeks , I was supposed to be the one telling her she's pretty. I coughed awkwardly moving away from her when I bumped into someone else. This time it was a red head who was sporting a wonderful smirk, she was equally as beautiful. "You're scaring him " I wiped my clammy hands on sweatpants looking at the chestnut haired girl on the couch with a laptop on her hands. I felt someone's hands on my hair again "its so soft." The blonde played with my hair.

I suddenly felt cold and when I turned I saw Angel standing on the steps, her eyes looking at the hand on my hair. I pushed the hand away almost as if i was caught cheating. She folded two fingers beckoning to come up and follow her. I was walking up the stairs, Angel's eyes never leaving my silhouette
"sé amable con él Ángel."meaning be gentle with him Angel. I heard a voice behind me say, It was Spanish and I didn't understand a word. I finally walked up to her her eyes boring into mine
"sin promesas" meaning no promises.I swallowed thickly and she pulled me by the the string of my hoodie. She looked at the cake box and I saw a ghost of a smile on her face.
"Keep up fierri" she released the draw sting, clapsing her hands with mine and pulled me up the stairs. She pulled me through the corridors but stopped when I saw a ginger headed woman walk in our direction with the man who had brought me in following her behind.
She oozed power and Dominance more than Angel, I suppose this was the Capo
She stopped and looked at me, A small friendly smile tugged her lips, she stretched her hand out for a handshake
"Hello" I said shaking her hands and she chuckled "no sabía que hacías cosas lindas Angel" meaning I didn't know you do cute things Angel.
"Me too" i heart Angel reply "well see you later." She smiled once again before leaving.

I was in Angel's room, the colour was black and gold, It looked empty and devoid of sentiment.
"Why are you here." Angel said laying on the bed and taking a bite of the cake.
"I wanted to check in, I haven't seen you since I....." She cut me off pointing a fork at me "since you ran away." I nodded. She stood up and came to me "what do I do with you Apollo." She pulled me by my hoodie making me flush once again.
"Whatever you want." I slapped my hands over my mouth, I hadn't realised that I said it out loud.
"Anything" I refused to make contact with her eyes, my skin heating with every touch of hers
I saw her pour a drink inside a cup and hand it to me
"Drink" I looked at the golden liquid skeptically
"You said I can do whatever I want." I nodded taking the cup from her hands and downing the burning liquid. Everywhere seemed blurry all of a sudden and I was brought to my knees before loosing consciousness
