His Villainess

CHAP. 5

Hey Roses. So tomorrow is finally the final exam. I'm so excited to finish that hell but I'm still a bit nervous. Wish me luck!

Xalia's pov:
Cat and I left for my house. It was a nice drive in that Uber since there was comfortable silence. When we arrived, I got a call from my other best friend Carl.

"Hola Princessa. How are you doing today?" I could imagine that bright smile on this face.

"I'm fine. Could be better though". I sighed.

"Why? What happened?" His voice sounded concerned. Carl doesn't do concern.

"Cat and I went to a club tonight and we met the Italians and Russians. It could have been a mess but it was easier coz they didn't know I was there".

There was silence on his end. Well that said a lot.

"Judging by your silence I think you know something and you don't want me to know". It was easy to read Carl. I'd known him ever since I was 16. I knew him like the back of my hand.

"Ummmm...well.... don't tell boss that I told you. It was supposed to be a secret that only boss and his friends know".

Carl was afraid of no one....well except for our boss and his allies. Once you know something about their private business, you either die or just randomly disappear. But in the end we all know what happens. All we do is take orders from them. They do all the planning.

"I'm all ears honey. I'm all ears", I tried to calm him down and it somehow worked.

"I heard Mr De Niro, Mr Martineli and his brother Mr Martinez talking about highjacking a cargo ship. It had firearms that belonged to the Russians. That's all I know". After that, a sigh of relief left from him.

"Mmhh...that's quite interesting. I'll look into it and find out more info. I'll update you Carl. I gotta go. Bye. Goodnight".

"Goodnight". I cut the call immediately after. I thank God that our phones weren't tapped or else our heads would be off by tomorrow morning. Especially his.

I looked at Cat with eyes holding confusion. What is up with her? She was literally staring into empty space, something she did when she was thinking deeply about something...or was it someone?

"Babe? What are you thinking about?" She didn't hear me. No. Something's wrong.

"Hello? Earth to Catalina?!" I waved my hand in front of her face. No response from her meant that something was definitely wrong.

"Catalina Gonzalez!" I shook her.

"Huh? What were you saying Xali?" She stopped talking when she saw the look on my face.

"I'm sorry. I was just thinking about something ". "Which is?" I raised my eyebrow as I expected a sensible answer that explained everything. "Don't lie to me Cat. Something's bothering you and I'll find out whether you like it or not. So just spare me my energy and tell me what's going on in that annoyingly smart brain of yours".

She sighed. She knew I was right. I was always right.

"Fine. I'll be honest with you. I was thinking about Sebastian. I don't know why but there's just something special about him that I just can't figure out what it is. I think I'm developing a little infatuation towards him but I feel like it'll become something more when I understand what's attracting me to him. I've never felt this way for anyone and I don't get why. I've dated and fucked a lot of guys before but I've never felt this way for someone I've known for barely a night. What should I do Xali? Is it normal for someone to feel this way?"

I stood there shocked and also confused. It wasn't like her to open up about something so sensitive and especially about her feelings. And also I'd never been in such a situation. I've only had a crush on one guy but we were forced apart. I knew he liked me back but was too scared to confess.

"...I don't know....I've never been in such a situation before. But I'll think of a way to help you. I mean you're my sister. Anything for family." And with that i gave her a hug.

"Thanks Xalia. Even though you act like a bitch, your still one of the kindest people I know. Well...kind to me". At last, she giggled. Unknowingly, I smiled. It was nice to see her smile. Now all I have to do is to find a way to get Sebastian out of her mind.

She can't start dating someone in the mafia now. Not with the war that's about to begin she won't. She has to forget him before it's too late. We can't lose because of a little love story. I have to fix this.
