DARK AND SWEET

Chapter Four

'Arrrgh' she really didn't like the idea of coming back home, in fact she hated it, she still had some business to deal with and her adventures had just begun. She smiled when she remembered everything that took place in Valencia, it was worth her time, now was the time to wait for her plan to be executed.
But why was her father so impatient and adamant on bringing her back home? She sighed as she leaned by the window of the car, he had even sent his right hand man and personal driver to bring her home, trying to enjoy the scenery before her and the light breeze on her skin, she admired the looks on the streets and it's beautiful lights by the walkway, it was calm and was the perfect weather for the evening, she thought maybe a little shopping would be great.
She ordered the driver to turn and take her to the shopping mall and he grunted following her command.

The mall was gorgeous. An infinite amount of stores filled her sight as she walked into the mall. It was crowded and the restaurants that surrounded the large building were packed.
She slowed down as she passed by Victoria Secret, eyeing the goodies inside. The '5 for $29 panties' sign caught her eyes making her stop dead in her tracks.
She still stood beside the Victoria Secret entrance, her eye scanning the entire area before giving a sign to the two guys with her and walked inside. Not wasting much time she was out with her package smirking.   Immersing herself in the multitude of stores that she walked by, spending time in each and every one. She entered a few more stores, exiting with with a couple bags of shirt, shorts, few sun dresses, feminine necessities, jewelry boxes, hair care products and eventually a swimsuit.
It wasn't until she exited the last store that she checked time '8:49pm fuck' sliding her phone into her pocket she looked around the mall. The mall had cleared slightly, yet a few people still mulled around, shopping and a having a good time.
Exhausted, she walked back to the parking lot, right now she really to unpack and get some rest.

Everywhere was dark and smelt of burning cigarettes and alcohol, she scoffed as the heavily built men standing by the hallway greeted her with respect, taking a deep breath she walked into the room, it was dark and cold in there the only source of light was from the lamp on top of the table and a small radio playing by the corner made it lively a bit, she observed the papers scattered across the table and littered on the floor and stains of blood on the rug.
"Pa, I'm home" she muttered under her breathe, she watched the dark figure who emitted a cold aura turned his back slowly on her and a gave her a slight grin "mucho tiempo sin ver a mi hijo" long time no see my child, he said walking towards her and opened his arms for a hug, she looked at him chuckling she embraced him tightly " I've missed you pa, hope you've been eating well, how have you been?" He laughed as he pointed towards his stomach "I eat well enough my dear" she smiled as she took a seat and grabbed the shot glass and a bottle of whiskey on the table while her father lit another stick of cigarette.
" I heard you were involved with the Santianos not long ago, you caused a bit of commotion in their midst, is that true?" It wasn't that she didn't expect this question but it was too early for it, she wasn't prepared to tell him now.
Around and around, the tip of her fingers danced the rim of the glass, its liquid within was a golden brown. Her teeth dug into her lower lips and her eyebrows furrowed as she stared into the glass of whiskey, her eyes searching its depths as if holding the answer to his question.
She takes a deep breath, inhaling the mixture of burning cigarettes and cigarette burning her lungs but she ignores it, she could taste the nicotine but the notes of oak from the whiskey on her tongue has her full attention.
"Yes maybe I did and it was fun doing that, by the way he's a jerk, I wonder why you find it so difficult to kill him. I wish I could get my hands on him. I'd love to snap his head off his neck…" he father cut her short "watch your tongue child" he growled.
"But pa" she whined
"No buts, Satiano isn't that easy to handle as you think and he's been on this game for years" he noticed the scowl on her face and he continued "It's not like we can't go against them but we should be careful because they are very tricky and have so much up to their sleeves"
"We'll bring them down one day father, I promise" she said as she stood up emptying the shot glass "I'll get going now Pa I need to freshen up and get some rest, it's been a long day, maybe by tomorrow or so you'll hear more of my numerous adventures" she said dropping the glass on the table, she pecked her father goodnight and walked out of the room.
Reaching her room she rushed to have a quick shower, she loved the way her room was even though it's been four years since she last stepped into it and she was happy that her father had it all cleaned and every other stuff in its position.
Sliding into her bed after getting her hair dried , she called her right man on the phone it didn't take time before he picked "Carlos get Jose and you guys should get this done I don't want any mistakes and no one should know about it if not I'll get your head chopped off" she said immediately and he gave her an ok response, Carlos wasn't the talkative kind he was a man of few words and more of action and if there was anyone to do the job quick it was him, her father had taught him well.
"Give me a feedback before the end of this week" when she didn't get any response except a slight hum she ended the call, she sighed and slowly she forced herself to sleep, she really needed a rest.
