In love with his own killer

XXIV

Chapter 24
Elijah's POV:

Tonight was an important night. We had a meeting with the French mafia to continue our alliance. We were already allied but their products are getting more popular on their territory so I know that the Russians or the Spanish would try to take them away from us but I couldn't let that happen. I offered more percentage of my product to them and they happily took the offer. If you know me, you know I never give you higher than I already offer you. They knew that, which was why they didn't decline.

To celebrate, Stefano thought that we'd bring it to Elite. I wasn't so sure about that cause I wouldn't know if Athena would be working today. Even though I don't want her to, it was part of the deal and I'll always keep my promises.

What i didn't expect was for her to serve our table not that i minded, i rather that then to see her dancing for all them fuckers.

What I didn't like was how she never looked at me once, as if I wasn't there. Then i couldn't do anything to the French because how they looked at her, that's the look of someone that wants to fuck. Trust i wanted to kill them right then and there but i couldn't if i wanted to keep their alliance.

When Stefano stopped talking to her before she left she gave me a light glance before fully walking away.

I know what game she's playing. Since the last of our little meeting, she's been avoiding eye contact, avoiding me in general. You can tell by the way she stopped at our table and did not give our drinks right away. It's because she saw me then averted her eyes somewhere else before I could make eye contact. She's so easy to read and she doesn't know it.

If she wanted to avoid me that's fine, I could play her game too, just twice as hard. As if Stefano could read my mind he offered to go to the strippers. Usually when we go out I don't deal with strippers anymore and I knew it was because of her. I wasn't gonna lie to others, I know the effect she has on me, and I accepted it. I just won't admit it to other people.

I will be honest though, I wanted to shut whatever the hell this was but the more i see her the more i knew that it was impossible. I can't stay away and a part of me doesn't want to.

I haven't gotten a lap dance in a while and at first i wasn't going to but why the hell not. As I smoked the cigar in my hand, a brave dancer came over and started dancing on me. It took everything in my power to not think of her but it happened anyway. I just had to imagine it was her on me instead of this roach. But then I remembered, we ordered drinks, and I just hope it's her serving again.

One dancer then became two. I guess they're taking this advantage of me letting them dance on me seriously. But the second one didn't dance, she came and sat behind me with her legs spreaded open with me laying between them.

I started to envision all of this being Athena, which sounds weird but I have a free imagination and I'm going to imagine whatever the hell I want.

Getting lost in my mind I forgot that I ordered a drink, as I raise my head I look to my left to see her handing Stefano his drink with a warm smile. My drink seemed to be the last on her tray, and when she turned to look for me, she stopped with her eyes on mine. In her eyes you can see the shockness, the jealousy, that beautiful warm smile dropping from her face. I mentally give a round of applause because not everyone would notice her face even change, but I study her face and eyes any chance I get to know she does not like what she sees.

She held my drink in her hand for what seemed like 20 minutes as she observed the scene in front of her. She gulped, seeming as if she was swallowing her words or actions that were soon going to escape from her if she didn't stop herself. She placed the drink on the table between us two and slid it softly to my end before walking away. I'd say my plan worked. "Off." I spoke. They didn't move and I guess they thought I wasn't speaking to them or they're just deaf. "I said get off." I pushed her off making her land on the empty spot on the couch next to me but her dramatic ass made her way to the floor earning me to roll my eyes. The one behind me took the hint and got off me, helping her friend from the floor.
