Perfectly Imperfect

Chapter 16

*Alonso*

The driver parked next to Felipe's on my orders then he opened his car door and quickly entered mine.
"Long time no see Felipe," my voice seems to be getting deeper and hoarse. I'm getting closer to old age but before I relax or die, I'll have to make sure I have the last laugh between Marshall and I and only Maria Camilla can help me with that.

"Yes. But I'm back now, no one can stop me," his grin was evil and wicked. I guess we really do have things in common.
"So, what are your plans?" I asked.
"I'll continue the business I started. I've managed to contact Santino one of our allies, he was the one who helped us escape, well partially and he's still willing to be an associate," that was good news. Santino was the Mayor of Valencia.

"I?..... We're are going to continue with the business together and guess what?"
Smirking, I looked in front of me.
"I have strong allies that will help us with the shipments. They are powerful and resourceful." I said.

"Is it Pedro and the others?" He asked.
"That's right."
"They are supposed to be our competition," he sternly said with a bit of rage in his voice.
"You know there is an old saying, 'if you can't beat them, join them' " and that was a very wise thing to do.

I'll make sure that this time, the military wouldn't interfere in our business. Drug and arms smuggling is illegal but no one can stop us, not even the president, not until he deceives us but as long as he's with us in this, we're going to rule this country our way.

"If you've made this decision,  then you must have really thought about it," Felipe finally agreed.
"By the way, how did you manage to escape?"
"A soldier helped us," he chuckled. A soldier helped rebels escape so even the soldiers aren't loyal, how interesting.

"It's actually a female. She use to live on the streets with some of the kids there, her friends that's why she helped us escape," he explained while I just nodded.

"All that doesn't matter now, I know for certain that if the military can't find you anytime soon, your face will be all over the news so you have to do something about your identity."
"For sure..... Alright see you soon Alonso,"
"Good day," Felipe got out and into his car.
"Let's go," After his car left, I also left.

*Maria Camilla*

Nicho was on the phone, scolding me for ignoring his calls and not calling him back even after seeing his missed calls.
"How I wish you were in front of me so I could kick your ass. That's the only way you'll shut up," I said.
"Oh really now, you miss me don't you?" He laughed.
"You wish," scoffing, I turned over on the bed and a playful smile twitched on Fátima's face.

"I'll be coming back soon though. Expect me anytime from now," said Nicho while I kicked Fátima on her legs.
"That's what you always say. You made me look like a liar in front of aunt and uncle a couple of times because of your lies," I faked my annoyance.

"Now you're blaming me for your sins?
"As if you're holy," I answered back. Truthfully, I really miss him. It has been half a year now and no one 's seen him.
"Hey sweetheart, can you pour me another glass please?" He yelled and I knew he wasn't talking to me but.......

"Nicho do you have a girlfriend?" Curiosity took over me even though it seemed to others that you are interested in the person if you ask that. Even Fátima was giving me that look.
"Why?...... Want to ask me out?" See that's his problem, he's always joking around even in serious situations he has time for jokes and when you ask him how comes, he'll say, "I just wanted to lighten up the mood". Unbelievable right?
