Danika

46

"dad, she said shes done" "what happened tonight was at fault of her. Not Danika. She started on Carly.." samara lowered her head "okay I get that but I'm fucking worried about Danika. I don't give a fuck about that" Samaras eyes watered 'i shouldn't have done that' "I know. You have been close with eagle for years. So she said she's done. What is she done with?" "I don't know" "this pathetic lifestyle. Where the fuck did you find Nigel?. He doesn't rule this" "he's dead now anyway. Where he fucking belongs" "my guess is she's done with the violence" "my guess is she has found someone she shows interest in" "we all hope for that carter but.." "no. Even I picked a change in her. She may not have slept with the guy but I believe carter is right. What she wants, is to live her life. She will still fight if she needs to. Samara is lucky... She did it for Shannon" "yep. If she wasn't dating Shannon, she'd have a bullet between her eyes" "Samara fucked up. I know that. You are right. If Danika didn't respect me, she would've killed her. I'm sure it's a lesson learnt" "this Carly?" "Has balls and Danika likes that" "just like Shannon and I... More so I. I got in her face. I had the guts to do it and so did Carly. That's what she respects" "correct. Shannon, she may be insecure but Danika doesn't deal with that bullshit. Nigel crossed a line by handing your partner that weapon. I know insecurities were the cause but she could've ended up dead. That's something you need to speak with her about" "I have. She thought I was siding with danika" "we all know Danika won't hold back. I will call her" Shannon nodded. Ernst dialled danikas number. "Yeah?" "No hi" "said that earlier" Samara kept her head down "what happened tonight was unfair play" "yeah. That fucking bitch touched someone she shouldn't then couldn't fill her balls with semen that's what happened. She's fucking lucky i respect Shannon otherwise I wouldve sliced her throat" "we know that. You said you were done" "yeah I am. I'm not dealing with that high school insecure horny little girl bullshit. I don't find Shannon to be the person for me and nor does Carly. Boundaries were crossed and I know where the bitch lives" Samara broke down "it's been sorted Danika. Three shots each. I understand the way you work but lets leave it" "she fucks with anyone and she will be dead. I only give one warning" "I know that. She can hear you" "GOOD" "your plan?" "To help carly. Then I plan to live how I always do. If it means I need to train Carly to be a fighting machine for her safety I will. Unfortunately you don't meet many good people" carter cleared his throat. "Extra fucking personalities don't count a.o" "but they are special" "helmet and crayon. I need to go. I have an important date in the morning" "DATE?" "Yeah" "YOU DONT FUCKING DATE" "too bad. Shes fucking hot and better than that. Bye" Danika ended the call. "Right. That said it. She's meeting with Carly. Never again. I won't stop Danika" "nor i" "I.. I'm sorry" "that's a start".

'i so should' Danika entered the jewellers and looked at the male rings. 'i like that one' "can I help you?" "Yeah I like that ring. I will purchase it" "ma'am. It's twenty..." "I said I will buy it" "yes ma'am" Danika rolled her eyes.

Arriving in laucala, Danika walked to Edison's villa and lowered the ring to the mat. 'that will do. Now I'm going to drink'.

'what?' Edison bent down and grabbed the box. 'what the fuck is this?' Edison unwrapped the present and opened the box then looked around. 'SHES HERE' Edison rushed to get changed and ran out of his villa. 'where would she be?. Its only been a few days and I miss her already. Her company, her eyes, smile and laugh. I have eyed her off for years. The bars..' Edison rushed towards the bars. Stopping in his tracks as he spotted Danika with a man beside her, Edison sussed him out. 'ugh, its Michael'
"Here with someone?" "I have a villa here" "and yet i haven't seen you" "holiday here. My family is here.." "and me" Danika turned to looked at Edison. "Edison" "Michael" "didn't know his name" Edison grinned "I received a little something on my front mat" "did you?" Edison grinned "I did. I like it" "good to know. So, after a long day of dealing with kids, you are thirsty?" "I could go for a drink" "alright then. Take a seat" "you know Edison well?" "We have met a few times" Edison held in his laughter. 'this woman' Edison sat down beside Danika. "Early visit?" "I had a package to deliver" "so how long is the stay this time?" "I don't know yet. I'm not on the ship for five more days" "can you?" "If I can fly, I can sail".
"Are you going on a trip?" "I do every month" "you must be rich then" "rich?" "To be on the water every month" "she's a captain" "oh..." "DANIKA" Danika turned to look at April "I have been so worried. Are you okay?" "I sure am. My next stop was to see you. I was waiting until you finished school" "I received our tickets. I'm so excited" "I'm glad I could help. Another semester to go but I know you will kill it" "how do you know april?" "Danika is my cousin" "the family she spoke about" "yes. She better" Danika chuckled "always. You been okay?" "Yes" "everything well with him?" "Yes" "I'm thrilled to hear that" "you aren't usually here right now" "a surprise visit. Why not take this in. It's cold at home" "I don't miss that one bit. Will you be dining at the restaurant?" "I will be" "I'm joining" "speak to Teresa about that first" "I will. I will either see you soon or call you to let you know" "I look forward to it". When April walked off Michael spoke "how do you know Edison?" "As I stated, I met him a few times. He used to be aprils teacher. What do you do?" "Something a little more exciting. Snorkeling instructor" "your face looked familiar. Teaching is exciting. It helps children. My niece is only young and I like seeing her flourish in her own field" "boring to teach" "maybe but very rewarding" "okay you have a point there" Edison grabbed the ring out and tried it on. 'perfect. I love this ring'.

Finishing dinner, Danika sat down on the sand as she watched the water ripple. 'this is the life. On a cruiseship for two weeks a month and this. I don't want the other life. I may go there occasionally but I won't be dealing with those troubles. I have fought tooth and nail to get where I am. This is bliss' Danika laid down and stared at the sky. 'the water moving, the stars above me, warm weather and peace. Life is working out. It's taken twenty plus years but I'm here.im still alive with a lot of heart ache' Danika let her tears fall. 'i miss all of them. Mom, Damon, opa, oma, Nanna and pop. They mean the world to me. I want dad in my life but not if he still had hart running..' feeling a presence, Danika wiped her cheeks. "You don't need to hide that. You hold a lot of pain" Danika looked at Edison as he stood beside her. "Maybe so but I don't want to put that on anyone else. I never expected company. You have work tomorrow" Edison sat down beside Danika then moved to lay down on his side to face danika "I do but I know you are here. I also knew you would be on the sand. This ring.." Edison played with it as it sat on his right hand "it's to promise I'm always fed and never thirsty right?" Danika showed a gentle grin. "Yes" "so you are going to make sure I'm fed and never thirsty?" "It's a possibility. You know me, I work for two weeks straight and only have two weeks.." "but you can come home for those two weeks right?. We have a salon" "anyone would think you are trying to keep me here" "I am. I've waited for years to find a good woman. I found her and now I want to keep her" "shit person.." Edison chuckled "nope.." Edison pressed his lips on danikas. Deeping the kiss, Edison moved his hand across danikas front to her side and pulled her tight against him. 'this is my ending. No more fighting, no more control just me in my hood with this man beside me. He accepts me for who I am'.
