Fighting the Mafia (Completed)

Chapter 35

The next morning I wake up and Theo is gone again. Does he hate waking up to me?

I sit up and move to the side of the bed. Thinking about what Theo and I did at the dance club. I bite my lip, remembering how hard Theo made me orgasm.

I get off the bed and I see a note on the end table. I pick it up;

Baby,

I'm so sorry I was not able to be there when you woke. Unfortunately, there is some stuff I have to deal with at work. Don't worry, I'll be home to pick you for the fundraiser. I can't wait to see you.

All my love,
Theo

I toss the card back on the end table. I can't help but wonder if he is fucking someone. He's pretty much doing what Kyle did. Leaving before I get up and coming home late. I put my head in my hands, not knowing what to think or believe.

Grace comes in with a plate of food. It's like she always knows. I smile at her. She sets the plate down and sits next to me. "What's wrong?"

I picked up the note and handed it to her. She reads it and then looks at me confused.

"It's what Kyle use to do. Wake early, come home late. Fucking other women."

She places her hand on mine. "Please don't punish Theo for Kyle's mistakes. I know Theo isn't cheating. He's so in love with you. The guys have a lot going on right now and Theo is feeling really overwhelmed. He won't say anything, but I'm his momma, I can see it. Plus, he's trying to make sure that he is giving you enough attention. He's just got a lot on his plate with this deal that went wrong. He's trying to clean up this mess...give him some time. He will make it up to you, I promise."

I eat breakfast and decide to walk downstairs and punch the punching bag for a little while. It helps me release anger and clear my mind.

I wrap my hands tightly and begin to punch the bag. I see Theo kissing down some girls neck, his hands groping and fondling her. I punch the bag over and over, trying to get the vision out of my head. I see the girl wrapping her legs around Theo's waist. I punch the bag harder and harder. I take my right arm around the side of the bag and punch hard, envisioning I'm breaking the girls rib cage.

I pause and catch my breath, leaning my forehead against the bag. I don't think I can take another man cheating on me. I decide to walk upstairs and take a shower.

Once done I grab a book and go out to the patio and read. I'm enjoying the peace and quiet. I feel the couch dip and I look up to see Theo, grabbing my legs and putting them in his lap.

"What are you doing here?" I asked surprised to see him.

He smiles, "I wanted to see you and it's lunch time. Plus, Nat was yelling at me saying I'm working the guys too hard."

I look down at my book. "Haley, after tomorrow I'm going to be gone for two days. I have to settle a score."

I take a deep breath, trying not to compare him to Kyle. "Stop Haley. I know exactly what you're thinking. No, I'm not fucking anyone. This is literally business. I plan on pleasure when I get back." He lifts my leg and kisses down my calf.

I can't help but laugh. "Mmm...someone's ticklish." He pulls my body down by my ankles and kisses up my leg higher to my thigh, nipping at the flesh.

"Hey...woah. Sorry!" Diego turns the corner and turns back around seeing the predicament that Theo and I are in. "Theo...we probably should head back. We might have found a way to dispose of the guns."

My face turns bright red and I put the book over my face. Theo groans. "Okay, give me a second."

"Wow, man...didn't know you could go that quick." I hear a pillow being thrown at Diego and he chuckles.
