Lust

The message disappeared and I didn't realise that my body was tensed up or that I was zoning out till Oscar placed his hand on my shoulder and pointed it out.

"Is everything okay? What's going on in that pretty little head of yours?" He asked and my attention shifted to the word he used for me, pretty.

I blush, fortunately I was facing away. "The phone?" He asked and I nod. How is it back already? I wanted to ask but he beat me to it.

"Ah that one of my men outside had brought it along, the phone crashed because of some software defect so they cloned as much as they could onto the other phone of the same model." He said and I nodded, i knew what had happened.

"Where will your men stay"

"They've got their own cottage in the woods behind the house, this villa was supposed to be one of the safe houses that I use for guests. I have many in the country and out and after tonight's incident we will be moving to another house"

I look back at the phone and wonder if he found out anything else from my phone. I feel Oscar shift, he was trying not to let me know about the pain but I could hear it in his breathing.

He was struggling to hide the fact that he was in pain and it was making me uncomfortable because it was my fault.

I got up and Oscar observed me, I walked in to the washroom and splashed my face with water multiple times. I looked at myself in the mirror, my face looked fresh.

I looked at my eyes and they seemed to be full of life. I haven't been this normal in a long time, out of all the places I expected myself to be good I didn't think it would be with Oscar.

I patted my face dry with the towel which was neatly arranged in a basket. I looked at the bathtub, my eyes sparkle from excitement. It was placed at the end with tinted glass wall and I was so tempted to soak myself in and promised to do it in the morning.

I walked out to find Oscar sleeping soundly. I walked to him and covered him with the quilt. The pain killers had done their job, he seemed to be completely out of it and for once he looked comfortable, no pain.

I walked over to the bedside table and grabbed my phone. I moved to the room door but the metal glint on the bed beside Oscar caught my eye.

I carefully grabbed the gun and kissed Oscar on the cheek, couldn't resist it then I stepped out of the room to find the place peacefully quiet.

I closed the door behind me to avoid disturbing Oscar and walked to the indoor pool that was in one corner of the villa I had seen it when I first entered. I sat down by the pool and dipped my feet in the water.

I heard footsteps and it didn't sound like Oscar so I got the gun ready and turned with my aim right on the target.

"You have the perfect form and aim to be a newbie" it was one of Oscars men who held back Lorin earlier. He said it as he looked at me and then the gun suspiciously as if I'd actually shoot him with it.

"I'm not a beginner in shooting with a gun but I haven't shot a live target. I'm said to be a perfect shot" I said and softly chuckled as I remember shanks being excited about my aim when I first started out. He expected me to suck at it.

The man walked towards me and sat by the water a feet away from me.

"Couldn't sleep?" I asked him and he shrugged, he looked at me scrutinizingly.

"Boss just got shot for the first time. Not once in his leadership has he got shot but then you bewitched him and he has been getting into things he never would otherwise." He said with a slight frown.
