Mafia Princess

chapter 21

We pull out of the heavy kissing and he pulls me into his chest which I gladly sink into.

We stay like this in silence as my mind wanders, thinking about everything that has been happening.

My phone rings causing me to jump a little. Even in his arms am a little jumpy no matter how much it feels safe here.
Just that my mind has not been here.
Pulling out of the embrace I reach for it, it's Ella again.

Something is not right I can feel it.
“excuse me. ”

“yeah, sure” Bred answers and I hit the receiver icon.

What's up?
Me

He is not here yet.
Ella.

Her voice breaks and I frown. Jim is not the type to stand someone up much less Ella, he lives her so much. She is basically the love of his life despite the age difference.

That is strange.
Me.

I know. He should have been here an hour ago. Am getting scared Rob.
Ella.

Where would he have gone? But relax let me make a phone call.
Me.

Am making Ella feel better while am practically losing it.

Am trying Rob, am fucking trying. He always tells me in case he can't make it, something is so wrong.
Ella.

Bred keeps shaking me by the shoulder mouthing, “what is it? ”

Ella hangs up and I start scrolling down my contact list, aware of Bred bagging me to tell him.

I need to need to call Barry, if anyone can track Jim down, that'd be him.
“Jim can't be found, and something tells me he might benin trouble.” I finally tell him as I wait for Barry to pick up.

This is a bad timing sis.
Barry.

He picks up on the second ring. He sounds out of breathe.

It's Jim.
Me.

What about him.
Barry.

He sounds so calm. I hope my gut is wrong this time.

Something is up with him, he is no where to be seen.
Me.

Rob, you of all people know that Jim can disapper and appear whenever he wants to, what makes you think he is missing.
Barry.

He sounds bored.

He was supposed to meet up with Ella, and nanny just said he left two hours ago. If you haven't realised he has been so not okay. With his boutique and all.
Me.

I can't believe you just disturb me to talk to me about a grown man who is capable of looking after his ass.
Barry.

Can you not say that and at least have someone track him down?
Me.

Okay, if it's going to help you calm down. Then fine I'll do it. Just Ten minutes and I'll get back to you.
Barry.

Thanks.
Me.

“what do you mean he is nowhere to be seen? ” Bred is already upon me as soon as am off the phone with Barry.
