My Boss

[26]

When I finally left Marco's home I went straight back to my house. Of course, once I had come through the door both my mother and Noah bombarded me with questions. My mother spoke in French and surprisingly Noah's small self was over here speaking in Italian. I can see he's definitely getting comfortable here. Weirdly enough that made me smile but it also made me realize it was time, time to stop lying.

"Mama, can I have a moment with Noah alone?"

I asked softly giving her a weak smile. I could sense her worry once I asked, but she gave the two of us space. Offering my hand out to Noah he took it and we went outside sitting out on the front porch steps. I couldn't help but smile at the gorgeous boy in front of me.

"Noah do you know where your name comes from?"

"Yes. The Bible, when God went all coo-coo on the earth he told this man, Noah, to get his family and two of each animal into this gigantic arc to be safe from the fury he was about to unleash on the world."

"Do you know why God choose Noah?"

"Because he had a cool name?"

I couldn't help but giggled a little at least he tried.

"God chose Noah because in God's eyes Noah was perfect. Noah obeyed, listened, and kept a faithful heart. And just like Noah in the Bible, you did the same. You've been the best kid in the world for your mama and it's time for you to build your arc to set sail into a new part of your life. I know you're a smart boy and you might not understand me now, but you will soon."

"So is something going to change now or?"

"Yes, you're going to finally get your dove and olive branch."

"Dove and olive branch? The two things that God sent to Noah?"

"Yes."

"Those two things mean peace, so you're saying I will have peace? How?"

"See I told you were smart and I know you think you have peace now, but who says more can't come? I'm just happy that I can now bring peace to your biggest mystery."

"My father."

And just like that Noah had it all figured out. I took my sweet time dissecting the situation, but during all this time I had really forgotten about Noah and his feelings. I used him as an excuse to give me more time, but now my time was up and it surely was time to focus on Noah.

For some reason, my nerves were all over the place today. Technically it wasn't just some reason I had kind of brought this upon myself. After being told multiple of time by Marco to stay low and just sit back I finally disobeyed. There was a mole on his side that needed to be found and I couldn't just sit back any longer. This mole wasn't just feeding information to his mother, but also to the feds. You would think after all the information this person has leaked Marco would've been caught, but just like the rest of the world, they were corrupt.
I took it upon myself to track down the person and gather intel now I could finally move out. So I waited until Marco left the house this morning and got moving. I took an Uber into the city and found a finessed a car from a dealer. I needed a car to drive four hours west to this person's location. I had their routine down to a t and on this weekday every week, they would leave to drop off information. From what I gathered this person would drop off fashion sketches, but in the sketching, you could find that the lines and dotting of the drawings were in morse code. So I decided to make my own of the sketches and give whoever would receive the information something different so they would be able to fall into the trap I've set. After the bait would be taken that's when I would tell Marco, he can thank me later.
I made sure to stay out of sight the best I could and move like a regular bystander when I got to the tailor shop. I was approached multiple times by employees asking if I need help, but I was only on the lookout for one.

"Hello Ma'am are you looking for the Moissanite cuff links?"

Bingo! I've found our guy. If you had anything of brain anyone would know that Moissanite cuff links didn't exist, especially since Moissanite is a diamond substitute.

"Oh yes! I have a suite sketched out here for my husband and I sent one of the servants earlier, but silly me I forgot to make the needed correction to his sizes."

The employee looked at me with wide eyes before quickly nodding and taking the folder from my hands. It didn't take too long before he was back out and handing me a new folder.

"Thankfully you caught that ma'am we were just about to send out the sketches for fabric matching."

"Thankful indeed. You have a good day."

I smiled leaving the shop. This was one victory of many, now it was time to get my ass back to Marco's before anyone noticed a flaw in the pattern.

I careful getting back into the city, returning the car, and getting back to Marco's. However, I was caught on the last leg of my mission, sneaking back into my room. Opening the door to my room and turning on the light I found Mateo sitting comfortably on my bed with his feet up reading one of my limited edition Vogue magazines.

"Little Kiki still very sneaky."

He sang the out the stupid melody he made up when we were together.

"Little Mateo about to get his ass beat oh."

I clapped back making him shut the magazine shut and get down from the bed. In a matter of seconds, he was across the room and standing in front of me.

"You want to explain your recent whereabouts? Because from what I recall somebody took a little four hour drive out of the city."

Rolling my eyes I nudged him out the way and throwing my bag onto the bed. I was tired from recent activity and just wanted to get a shower in and go to bed, so I began to get ready to do just that.

"Want to explain all your whereabouts when we were together, you know the late night ones and spontaneous business trips you just had to take."

I could hear him sigh as I walked into the closet and began stripping free of my clothing. Of course, he followed me into the closet. He wasn't fazed by me stripping in front of him because he has seen my body plenty of times, we were a very active couple in our prime.

"You know you're supposed to stay put and out of sight. Someone could be out there with your name on their list ready to kill. So let me ask you again where did you go?"

I could tell he was getting impatient and this is where I began to play. I had him right where I wanted him and I was definitely going to have my fun.

"How do even know I left? Maybe I just wanted to go for a drive."

"The Kiara I know doesn't just go for drives."

He stated as I shed the last of my clothing. I could tell he was slowly losing focus the more skin I showed and now that I was fully naked walking to back across the room to the bathroom he was trapped.

"Still didn't answer my question, how did you know?"

I asked again as I got into the shower purposely leaving the door partly open. I didn't say anything and it was silent for a minute, but I knew exactly what was about to happen so I turned on the shower and started getting my body drenched by the flowing water. As expected the shower door was opened and in stepped Mateo. I couldn't help but smirk as I mentally congratulated myself, somethings never change.

"You know exactly how I knew."

He spoke softly into my ear as he pulled my body into his. Now let's let the fun begin I thought as I shut the door to the shower.
