"The Mafia Head's Sassy Protector"

Chapter- 11

Kinn stepped out of the sleek black car. Jake followed closely, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

Tay himself emerged from the entrance, a bright smile spreading across his face.

Kinn! it's been too long,Tay hugged.

Kinn laughed, returning the hug. "Tay, its been only a month"

Tay leading them into the club. To me its long enough..... Tay handed Kinn a glass filled with a vibrant blue liquid, garnished with a glowing ice cube.

Kinn takes a sip,Its Good

Kinn's eyes searching. "Where's Thyme? I don't see him."

"Thyme and I... we broke up, Kinn."  Tay sighs

"What? When? You didn't tell me."

Tay sighed, "It's been a few weeks. I didn't want to burden you with my drama."

"Burden me? Tay, we are friends, tell me What happened?"

You know the reason Kinn....

Kinn breathed a sigh of relief. Thyme's infidelity had been a concern for months.

Tay, Iam sorry, "I'm glad you're free from him, You deserve so much better."

"You're happy I'm single again, aren't you?"

Kinn nodded,  "Yes, but also worried about you. You still have pain in your eyes... ."

Tay's eyes dropped, his voice cracking. "It hurts, Kinn. I thought we had something real he will surely understand and come back to me."

Kinn pulled Tay into a comforting hug. You will find something real, Tay. Someone who loves and respects you truly. I am here for you, always.

Thank you Kinn, I actually feel... good. Better.You're a true friend. Breaking up with Thyme was hard, but I see now it was necessary.

You are strong, Tay. You willl bounce back, even stronger.

The pain in my eyes, Kinn... it's not because I broke up with Thyme. It's more or less because I am wondering why I tolerated him for so long.

Kinn's expression turned understanding. "You were invested, Tay. You saw the good in him."

Tay shook his head, Hmm I ignored the red flags, made excuses. I thought my love was enough. I failed Kinn

"You didn't fail, Tay. You learned."

Tay's heart warms with Kinn's words. You know, Kinn, I took these steps because of your bodyguard, "Porsche". He really gave me courage in just one meeting.

Kinn's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Porsche? What did he do?"

You know how Thyme flirts with people, but... he was way more interested in Porsche than usual. Tay's said with hurting voice.

Go on.... Kinn said in deep voice Thyme + interested +Porsche did not go well with Kinn.

Tay's could see expression change but still confused. A month ago, when I came to your place, Once I finished talking to you, I walked on Thyme who was all over Porsche.

Kinn's grip on his glass tightened. "He made moves on Porsche?"

Tay nodded. "Subtle, but clear. Porsche shut him down politely, but I was blind i didn't think much of it,Just another flirtatious encounter."

"Thyme kept pestering him. porsche declined, wouldn't take no for an answer. He asked him to leave." Thyme Ego is hurt. A mere bodyguard asked him to get out.
