My Boss

[18]

[ayanna]

I stayed with Daphne for the rest of the weekend, checking on my mom and Noah throughout the weekend. They both kept shooting questions at me, trying to figure out when I was returning home and frankly I was questioning that too. Daph acted as if she was alright to be on her own, but it was the things she did during the night that worried me. The constant waking up screaming, the staring off into space, and the times should would not let go of me. One of those times actually was right now, Daph had her head in my lap and with her arms wrapped around my waist sound asleep. She wouldn't and couldn't sleep with having me near her. This behavior made me scared for her and I honestly didn't care at this point what it was, I wanted it to leave. Daphne is a strong woman, don't get me wrong, but there's only so much a woman can handle on her own.
Breaking from my thoughts I heard the familiar ring of my cellphone. Answering my phone without looking I was welcomed by the rough, yet satisfying, voice of Mr. Rinaldi.

"Hello."

"Ms. Ojukwo, I was calling to ask for an explanation of-"

"Marco can you do me a favor?"

I didn't mean to cut him off, because I know he didn't like getting off. I could tell from how his jaw clenched whenever it happened.

"Are you okay Ayanna?"

"Don't worry about me right now, just come to the address I'm about to text you."

With that I hung up. I knew that was the only way I was going to get him to get over here. If I stayed on the phone he'd continue with the questions, but now there might be a chance he'll come. Slowly making my out of Daphne's hold, I tippy toed my way over to the window. I waited for awhile by window and just as I expected a very nice and very recognizable luxury pulled up and out stepped Marco. I watched as he rushed out of his car, throwing his keys at the poor bell boy and rushing into the building. I giggled at that a little, but hustled to the door. Opening the door and stepping out in the hall waiting for him. Soon enough Marco, in all his sexiness, emerged from the elevator. As soon as his eyes meet mine seconds later I was engulfed into his arms and man it felt good. I was so use to just hugging my little Noah all the time I had forgotten how it felt to have a real man's hands wrapped around my waist.
We stayed in the middle of the hallway just hugged up against each other for awhile before hearing a groan from inside Daphne's apartment. I knew she had to be waking soon so I quickly had to pull away from Marco.

"Look I need a second opinion or, as some would say, some advice."

"I'm listening."

"Remember when I asked for the rest of the day off for Daphne and I, well it was because Daph was acting a little strange."

"Strange? Miss. Park looked completely fine to me."

"Yeah well, she wasn't fine. Something's up and I've been trying to figure it out for a couple of days now."

"What making you think such things?"

"Well for starters there was this woman, she was just a regular yeah, but she was just a little sketchy to me. She said her name was Victoria and had come by to see Daphne-"

Cutting me off Marco quickly asked me for a description of the lady, which I gave to the best of my ability. Afterwards he just told me to continue to look after Daphne and hugged me. If felt like a regular hug up until his hands started to wonder, this went on for a solid minute before he let go. Bidding me goodnight he escorted me back to the apartment and took off. Strange.

How angry can one man alone get? Not too angry, right? Well I believe that to be untrue, because I am honestly livid. My mother was playing fire and soon enough she will get burned, because it's a fire I'm feeding.
When Ayanna first called I had thought they had physically harmed, but no they bugged her. There is one person in the whole of Sicily who does this and she is about the meet her death. Looking down at the tiny chip in between my fingers, that I had lifted from Ayanna, I slowly brought it to my lips and whispered.

"You've chosen the wrong enemy, now you may meet your death."
