ALEXIA
"Axelia said she wants to talk to you when she gets home." Nicoli tells me as soon as he ended the call.
"About what?"
I said lifting my hand up to see if the cosmetic machine painted my nails perfectly, when I find it flawless, I continue in placing my other hand under the machine. Not bothering to look towards Nicoli's direction.
"Your sister just got a confrontation from your loverboy, so I'm assuming maybe she'll scold you again because of that." Nicoli snorts, turning his attention back to the projector like monitor, fingers flying fast on the keyboards.
"Did she tell you how she dealed with Greg?" I wonder what she said this time.
"Nope, the call was cut short due to the arrival of your boss, but I guess she snapped at him again." he smirks, "You know how faithful Axelia is with me."
I snort at his statement, "As if my sister knew about your love interest towards her."
"Whatever." he sulk in his chair, not bothering to look at me.
I didn't bother to rebut any further, I just shrug my shoulders while pressing the buttons in the machine, matching the same procedure I did to the other one. Hearing and feeling it start doing its job, I just lean back and relax, closing my eyes waiting for the machine to beep again indicating that it's done painting my nails.
"Is she going home?"
"I don't know, as I've said the call was short." Nicoli answer glancing at me quizzically, "Why?"
"Nothing..." I just wanna know what she said to Greg.
"Awwweee.... Are you worried about your twinnie?" Nicoli tease. "We'll that's cute."
"Oh please don't talk about yourself in here. I'm more worried about what she can do." I shot him an annoyed look.
"Oh... So this is about lover boy?" he turn his chair to my direction and wiggle his brows while grinning like a dog.
"No, it's not!" I snap at him, feeling my cheeks heat up.
"Is to!" Nicoli laughs at my reaction, "So finally someone got promoted from being a boy toy!"
"Don't you ever refer Greg to that!" I pointed at him.
"And I thought you said it's not about him." crossing his arms, still grinning, I swear he looks like a retarded nerd.
"Stop teasing me! Fuck off!" I snap, "Instead of dipping your nose in my love interest, start working on your love interest."
He's smile drops in a second and he sighs. "Mean!"
"Now I'm mean?" I press my index finger at my chest, "You know Nicoli, you just need to man up and have the balls to confess to her."
"As if she'll give me a chance to talk." he frowns.
"Why not? You're cute, smart and fun." I smile, "Most girls will hit on you."
"You think so?" he's feature lightens up.
"Of course not, I said most girls." I said fanning invisible air with my hands. "Axelia is so not one of most girls, she doesn't waste her time over candle-light dates."
He just nods and turn his chair back to face the screen. He exhale sharply and shake his head, he was about to type again but he stop himself. Crossing his arms over his chest as he continues staring at the projected screen. The machine beeps and I divert my attention back to my nails.
I felt bad but Nicoli just need a little pushing from someone to make him realize that if he really wants to be with Axelia, he should make a move. Hearing him typing again, I choose to let him be. Not wanting to upset him even more.
"HAHA! I gotcha!" I almost fell on my seat when Nicoli shouted."Five Million Dollars, come to Papa!" and so I thought he was sulking.
"Geez Nicoli d'you have a split personality?" I snap at him, "stop hacking the Government's Bank, if you're lucky enough you'll be the key for them to trace us all up."
"How's that lucky?" he glance up to me while furrowing his brows.
"You're more dense than I gave you credit for, have you ever heard about the word sarcasm? Plus I'm sure Leyla won't be so pleased to know her son is a thief."
"Now, I'm really offended." he put his hand on his chest acting like he's in pain. "But this isn't stealing, for what I've calculated this money I've got doesn't reach half of all the taxes you've paid for years." he lean back to his chair facing me as he cross his arms at me.
"Whatever." I mock his answer lately. Again, not wanting to argue with him further, "Just make sure the address where you claim that money, won't lead this way." I point to the ground.
"Tsk. Trust me it won't." he winks at me then back to his illegal works. Perks of being a hacker and having a good computer of course. "This genius is getting goddamn rich!"
I just rolled my eyes at him and glance towards the door, while drumming my free fingers to the table absentmindedly. Two more hours of patience dear self, I'm sure Axelia will be home on the dot, can't wait to get out of this over protected mansion.
When those people discovered that the Government miss a spot in wiping out our bloodline, they choose to remain in our side. After the execution of the whole Kerrod's bloodline the servants and drivers of the family we're left untouched and unharmed, but still it doesn't assure them to be spared completely, even our family's loyal co-workers in the government's laboratory who was too petrified to go back to the facility is now under our care. And please don't get me wrong, just because I hate being trapped in this mansion doesn't mean I hate the people around here, I honestly love them they're the family we never had.
Nicoli's parents were the ones who took us away from the metropolis, he was 5 years old that time when the haunting of the Kerrods began for the execution, our parents intrusted Leyla so much for our lives and had Edmund drive us far away to the shelter near the border of the walled city, where we discovered that the government is deceiving everyone in this fake city they made up.
