Facade

Chapter 56

Damian's pov

My mind is going a mile per minute thinking of a way to introduce the subject of self defense training to Karen. I know Carlisle is talking to Mia right now. We figured we each speak to our girls and hold our asses for good luck. With the girls, you never know. But that's part of their appeal. Personally I never liked predictable girl. Girls you could guess their every move. With Karen, it was certainly different. She constantly kept me on my toes and I could not have asked for a better half. Wow that word didn't scare me. Shows just how right this is. Okay I'm gonna admit it. I'm stalling. What do you expect? "Come on Damian! You are a freaking mafia leader! Grow some balls!" I told myself quietly. Karen turned to give me an odd look. I guess she thinks I'm losing it talking to myself. Maybe I am. Oh well, Damian stop stalling!
"Sunshine! I need to talk to you about something" I started. Don't ask me about the pet name, I just came up with it hoping it'll soften her up. Karen sat up and looked at me wearily. Beneath that weary look however, there was a glint in her eye. A glint that tells me she can see through my pet name. She knows me too well.
"What is it?" Karen asked nervously biting her lips. Oh shit! My mind turns into mush. I can imagine her biting my skin as I thrust into her. Her beautiful fingers clenching around the sheets as she screams my name. Damn those lips - -
"Damian! Damian!" Karen's agitated voice breaks me away from my thoughts. I turn to see her staring at me with worry etched on her beautiful face. Shit what's wrong? If she's hurt, I'll burn down whoever hurts her or tries to.
"Sunshine what's wrong? Are you alright?" I ask frantically, my mind filled with different scenarios as to what put that look on her beautiful face. Karen rolled her eyes.
"Of course he's worried about me, idiot." Karen murmured to herself. What did I do? Is it a crime to be concerned about my girlfriend?
"Come on love, is it a crime to be worried about you? I just wanted to know why you are frowning" I ask irritated about the whole thing. Karen scoffed before smiling at me
"Seriously Damian you need help. You said you wanted to talk to me about something. I waited for you to say something but you didn't. I turned around to look at you only to find you staring into space with a weird look in your eyes. I was worried about you only for you to worry about me instead" At the end of her explanation, I feel like a total dick. Now I understand why she was worried. If only she knew what was running through my mind while I was 'staring into space' as she claims. She'll probably dump me faster than I can blink. But what was I supposed to do? My girlfriend is a walking sex on legs. She's too beautiful to be considered legal. I can't help but appreciate God's creation. If you know what I mean (wink).

Carlisle's pov

I step into the hallway from Mia's room and close the door behind me. I barely spend time in my assigned room anymore. I'm usually with Mia and honestly, I'm not complaining. I heard the closing of a door and turned to see Damian coming out of Karen's room. I nod to him in greeting.
"Carlisle" I heard Damian call to me as I turn to leave. I turn around to see him striding towards me.
"Hey what's up?" I asked him when he got close enough.
"So how was it? What did she say?" Damian asked, curiosity dripping in his tone. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me what he meant. I sighed and relaxed just thinking about it. It felt as if a great burden has been lifted off my shoulders immediately Mia agreed to the training.
"It's cool, she agreed" I told him. Damian smiled, relief evident on his face. He pumped his fist into the air.
"You won't celebrate when I tell you the second part of the deal" I continued, cutting off his celebration. Damian halted and looked at me apprehensively.
"Mia said she'll only do the training if I agree to train her myself" I smirked at him anticipating his reaction.
"What?!" Damian bellowed. Just as expected, I told myself.
"How the hell did she know you can fight?" He asked the obvious question. I shook my head, my mind wondering the same thing. I'm not satisfied with Mia's answer. If you can call that an answer. It's was so vague.
"I don't know man" I replied. Damian scoffed angrily, or is it irritation? I don't know.
"What do you mean you don't know? Didn't you ask her? What did she say?" He snapped at me frustrated. I closed my eyes and counted to ten slowly. I don't want to lose my temper. It won't do us any good.
"I asked her and she evaded my question, you moron" I replied him irritated at his attitude. I didn't like his tone of voice. Damian cursed under his breath.
"Shit! This just makes me wonder if the girls really know more than they let on" Damian concluded. I agreed with him completely. The thought of Mia knowing about my work had been running through my mind all day.

Aiden's pov

Its time to act. I can't bear it anymore. I duck my head behind the car as Mia and that bastard pass by laughing together. His hands are all over her. Damn it! I've been laying low since I got out of prison. But I've been watching from a distance. I've been watching Mia flirt around that idiot. I've been watching him run his filthy hands around her body. I've watched him kiss her. And it killed me each time I had to hide. It killed me to think Mia could betray me this way. How could she forget me so easily and run into the arms of a bastard? How could she abandon me as I went to prison for her sake? I did everything I could to get out of jail thinking we could be together. Only for me to find her in the arms of another man. The wound of the betrayal runs deep. I'm hurt. I'm heartbroken. Well I won't take it. Mia is mine. She will always be mine. And I'll enjoy hurting that bastard for putting his hands on my woman.

Drew's pov

"Is everything in place?" The bitch asked me. I sighed and nodded. I really hated what I was about to do. Shit was about to go down and I hated my part in it. If Felix finds out about this, he'll definitely hate me. Yet I'm doing all this for him. I don't want the bitch to get her hands on my love and in order to prevent that, I have to give her something else. Or should I say, someone else. However Felix cares about this person. He told me all about how close he was to the person. But I had to do it. I had to protect my love. I've never felt this way about anyone before. Felix stares something in me that has laid dormant for years. I can't lose him. I can't let the bitch get her claws on him. So in order to keep her away from him, I have to hurt him. It breaks my heart to think about the pain he'll be when he realizes what I've done. But he'll forgive me. When he realizes it's for his own good, he'll forgive me. I know he will.

I'm heartbroken guys. Is the story that bad? I don't hear from anyone of you and it hurts. I'm beginning to think you guys aren't interested in the story. Should I take it down?
