Things have been quiet since Cash (dad) died... almost too quiet.
Natalie, Felicia, Jaxon and I live in a house on the Southside. Two blocks from the L.
My brother Smack attempted to get my sister to sell it, but that fell through.
Unfortunately she did end up selling the place to someone, who bought a lot of the houses on our block. The problem is...no one knows who the buyer was.
I probably wouldn't have worried so much if I didn't have Stella to look after.
I tried so hard to make things work with her mother, but she bailed on us the day they were discharged from the hospital.
I was way too busy for a relationship anyway (sigh) and I really didn't want to bring another woman into my daughter's life.
"Hey Chris, don't you have to go to work?" Felicia asked me as soon as she entered the kitchen.
"Unfortunately for them I am off duty today, but I have a few things to get done at The Billy Club." I answered before taking a sip of my black coffee.
As soon as the bitter taste hit the tip of my tongue...I heard it. The voice of an angel.
"Hey Amhearsts, sorry to just barge in like this, but I'm out of coffee and I was hoping...that maybe I could steal a cup of yours before I have to head into work."
Katerina MacGuire, the woman that lives next door and not to mention the woman that haunts my wet dreams...she also Mitchie's bastard sister.
"Sure Kat, we have plenty." Fe answered with a polite smile. "You're always welcome to barge in anytime."
"Thanks Fe, you're a life saver." She said as she walked around the counter. "How are you doing this morning, Christian?"
She was wearing a zippered black spandex top, that showed off her perfect breast.
Katerina's Pov...What The Hell?....The Kitchen...
"Chris?" I said his name again, thinking maybe he didn't hear me. "Why is he looking at me like that?"
"I have no idea...hey Christian." Felicia snapped her fingers in front of his face. "What's wrong with you?"
"Oh...sorry, I was just thinking about going upstairs to check on Stel." He said before practically running up the stairs.
"Natalie already took her to daycare for you!" Fe yelled after him, but I don't think he was listening.
Christian's Pov...I Can't Help Myself....Upstairs...
Just thinking about Katerina was enough to get my motor running. But seeing what she planned on wearing to work...made me forget that I wasn't supposed to want her.
She was going to be the death of me and she didn't even know it.
Katerina's POV...This Is Stupid...Back Downstairs...
Felicia leaned against the sink and laughed, while I was still trying to figure out what had just happened.
"What's so funny over there?" I asked slightly amused myself.
"I think he has a little crush on you." She laughed softly, before taking a sip of her coffee.
"I don't see why...I'm nothing special just ask any one of my exes." I said lowering my own self-esteem a little further.
"That's not true and you know it, any guy would be lucky to have a girl like you." She reassured me sweetly.
"OH FUCK!" Christian's voice yelled from upstairs.
"Is he doing what I think he is doing?" I asked with a small laugh.
"Ugh...god, I hope not." His sister said as she headed over to the stairs. "I have an idea...why don't you go up there and see what he is doing?"
