Not what it seems: A Mafia Story

Pretending

Author's pov

Ember and Jake were walking together. There was a complete silence between them until Jake spoke, "Uh- Ember?"

"Yes?" Ember replied

"Would you mind showing your face to me, since we are friends?"

"No doubt we are, but I have trust issues, and it's been 10 minutes only since we both became friends, and you are expecting me to trust you."

"It's okay if you don't want", Jake said sarcastically to which Ember just hummed in response.
"Oh God, I never thought her to be this bold. Now, how would I take revenge on her if I never get to see her face." Jake thought in his mind.

The rest of the walk was silent, but not their minds. Both were thinking about how to get revenge until they parted ways to their homes respectively.

In evening

Aerish's Pov

"God damm it", I said to myself as I lay down on my bed. Why the hell did he want to see my face? Is he planning something? Or did he recognise that I am his enemy and want to get revenge on me?

A lot of questions were running inside my head as I was trying to sleep but he was not leaving my mind.

"I need to plan something before him", I thought.

Thinking of a plan, I didn't realize when I fell asleep.

Jake's Pov

"If she's not gonna show her face then how will my plan work?" I questioned Bruno, my dog while caressing him.

Does she know who I am? And if she does then why she became friends with me? Is there something on her mind?

Oh God, why so many questions are running inside my head? I need to calm myself. I tried to sleep but she was all over my brain cells.

Next day

Author's pov

Both are confused about if they should meet today or just skip it. Both of them have realized that the other person knows their real identity but they have to pretend to be each other's friend. Why did they choose to be friends in the first place?

Aerish's pov

I was getting ready, yes, for my mission. But now I know that he knows who I am it would be difficult to get his father. It will not be that easy to make him fall into my trap. I ruffled my hair in frustration.

"Hey", Jake said running towards me.

"Oh, hello", I replied, not wanting to have a conversation with him. I just hate him.

"You came here for me?" He said while smirking.

Wait, what? Why is he smirking? Just stop.

"What if I say yes?", I replied in the same flirting tone.

He seemed shocked. I moved closer to him and he backed. I stopped and cupped his right cheek. I can feel my plan working (smirk).

"U-um, wha-what are you doing?" He asked me while stuttering. Hell, yes, that's what I wanted.

I removed my hand from his cheek, took his both hands, and started to caress it. "Nothing much, I just love to do these types of things". I said while leaning closer.

He jerked my hand and waved me bye before going back while I smirked internally seeing my plan work.
