A Soft Devil (COMPLETED)

Chapter 38

Wings? And I know he wasn't talking about chicken wings either. If it was another gang, I would lose my mind with trying to keep up with all of them. I don't know how Lily and Lina could do it.

We all continued our walk to the parking garage after the interruption.

"Cindy, I'm so sorry. I would've-"

"I know what you would've done, but I rather him do that than you getting shot."

He didn't give me any warning as he leaned down and gave me a kiss. I was shocked at first, but I started moving my lips with his. He delicately put one hand on my cheek and the other on my waist. He pulled me closer by the waist making me smile into the kiss at how he's all mine because I got his trust wrapped around my finger. I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned to the side to lick his lips. Goddam his lips were addictive with the softness and tenderness they gave. He grutted and all I did was laugh and pull away from him.

"I thought we were getting to know each other first?"

"When you look this good, it's hard just to talk, so this whole getting to know each other thing is gonna be hard when you look good all the damn time."

I was about to respond until I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around with a small smile to see a worried Kayla making me furrow my brows. "Sorry to interrupt, but can we talk real quick?"

I looked over at Grayson who was looking back at me waiting for my move. "Give us a second."

He nodded his head before he walked with Ethan and Chris. I looked over at Kayla who looked distressed. "You okay girl?" Kayla asked.

"I'm fine. I'm just pissed the fuck off at how he thinks he could do that to me."

"Cindy this is on me. I should've had your back like you did with-"

"Kayla there was nothing you could do. He. Was. Strapped. If you tried to help, there probably would've been a shoot out. I'm just glad you're ok...I mean you are okay right?"

"I'm cool. I just wish I could've-"

"Don't do this to yourself, Kayla. Don't beat yourself up like this. Please. If you wanna make me feel better, pretend this never happened and go walk with you mans. He's waiting for you, and we can't have that."

She's always been so keen on being so hard on herself. Sometimes in a healthy way. Sometimes unhealthy. When she first revealed her vuerable side to me, she admitted to me that she could never forgive herself for not saving her mom. To me, it made no sense. She couldn't blame herself from not helping her mom when her mom was the one who sent her off for a better life. By the end of our time at the group home, we both managed to find self love, and do the best we could with the things we have. It took a whole year, but we did it and I can't have her break and crumble now. Not when everything is going so amazing for her.

She softly smiled at me before her features turned serious.
"You sure you good because we can go home right now-"

"Kayla, either go walk with you mans or suck his dick if you wanna make me happy."

She laughed before giving me a hug stopping the both of us. "I love you Cassiopeia," she told me before she squeezed me tight one last time, running over to wrap her arms around Chris's waist, and kiss him on the cheek.

He wrapped his arm around her when he saw her. Grayson and Ethan fell back from them. I shyly smiled when Grayson came over to me and pulling me to his side. He leaned down to catch a kiss on my cheek making me giggle, but I laid my head on his shoulder. We were in the back of the pack with his jacket around my body and arm laying on my shoulder. Ethan was behind us walking alone that it made me feel bad.
