SINNER - CHAPTER 27&28

{𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐊𝐈𝐒𝐒}

“Angelo” She called his name more like a Mõ@?.

Angelo released a soft groan as he sucked deeply on her neck. Larisa shut her eyes and allow the new feeling overthrown her. Her hands glided to his back and he stopped sucking.

“You got shot…” She whispered, touching the spot and he closed and fluttered his eyes back open.

“Yeah.. it was risky but I took the risk” he whispered back.

Larisa slowly moved away from him awkwardly.

“I’m sorry.” She muttered.

Angelo turned and went to sit back on the bed.

“You shouldn’t apologize” He mumbled.

“I know how it might have been for you.. I mean, I haven’t got shot before but I’ve seen how my Dad handles it” she said.

“You dad has got shot before?” Angelo asked.

“Yeah.. more like four times or so” she shrugged and he scoffed.

“It’s late.. You should go to bed. You’ll need to be in school tomorrow”

Larisa nodded and turned to leave. She held the doorknob and glanced at him. A blank expression was on his face as he stared back at her.

“Goodnight” She muttered and finally walked out.

Angelo sighed and fell back on the bed, ruffling his hair.

“Fuçk!” He groaned.

~NEXT MORNING ~

“Do I need to keep singing in your ears that you have up to three months left before leaving college, Larisa?” Lucas argued for the uptenth time.

“And I said I’m going to be a doctor, Dad!” She argued, stuffing the toast bread into her mouth.

Athena just ate silently without uttering a word.

“There’s no way a doctor will be the head of the Mafia in my region! I will disown you!” He sneered angrily.

“Don’t do that, Lucas! She’s still your daughter” Athena immediately cuts in.

“Oh just the hell thing you call mouth old lady! You’ve successfully brainwashed your daughter to go against her own Dad! You couldn’t even give me a proper child, instead you suffered me by giving me a child like her!” He spat remorselessly.

“Oh. Wow.. so I’m your sufferings?” Larisa chuckled hurtfully, trying not to break into tears.

“I’ve been keeping silent all this while, Lucas! You can’t just decide future for our daughter! She has her own life and will make a better family in the future! Why can’t just get that?!” Athena shouted.

Surprisingly, she has never yell on top of her voice before. This was the first.

“Athena, for the last time in your life, don’t ever interrupt me because you’re just a mere housewife for me!! You have no value in the Capo region and just having you as a wife is just for fancy!” He thundered.

Tears rolled down Larisa’s cheeks as she picks up her bag and ran outside the house.

“Larisa! Larisa!” Athena made to go after her but Lucas grabbed her back by the arm.

“You shittyhole!” He cursed and covered her with his hands, making her muffle.

He started dragging her away strongly.

Avalon suddenly came out of where she was hiding and she sighed out.

•

Angelo was fazed when he saw Larisa coming towards the driveway in tears. He knew something had happened back inside.

“Hey” he called.

“Drive me to school” She replied coldly and entered the car. This time, she was sitting in the front and not the back.

Angelo got in too and revved the engine before driving out of the mansion.

*

ROAD*

Angelo kept stealing glances at Larisa who had her eyes on the window instead. He stylishly cleared his throat to speak up.

“Are you okay? Do you mind sharing?” He asked and she gawked at him.

The tears already dried up on her cheeks, leaving a bare mark.

“Tell me, is it wrong to have a future?” She stated. Angelo tightened his hands on the wheel as he kept stealing glances at her.

“Having a future is only meant for those who really wants to have one” He replied. Larisa was in awe by his response, she got little engrossed and turned properly to him.

“Why say so? You don’t have one or plan on one?” She asked and he chuckled, clicking his tongue.

“I once had a wishlist.. but I threw it and said fuçk it” He said, stressing the word “FUÇK IT”

Larisa gulped nothing when she saw how his lips went.

“Wishlist? Surprisingly I never had that” She chuckled.

“I realized wishlist was meant for people who has dreams of becoming a better person in future. I was never a better person so I dumped it” he shrugged, focusing on the road.

“You are never better person? Don’t say so please” Larisa looked away.

“I’m bad boy, Larisa.. Don’t take me as a good person please” He muttered and she looked at him again.

She said nothing.

“So.. why were you in tears earlier today?” He asked instead.

“Do you know the reason why you’re my bodyguard?” She replied and he silted a laughter.

“All I only know was for me to make you stop seeing um.. what’s that his name again?”

“Giovanni” She chuckled and he nodded in agreement.

“Right, that @$$h0le” He grinned and she chuckled again.

“I’m happy to see you finally moving on from him” He gave her a light smile.

“It all feels so unreal that I’ll be able to let go of Giovanni Texas all because of one person that suddenly came into my life. I realized being desperate doesn’t make you the real girl, but being yourself” She uttered.

“One person? A guy or a girl?” Angelo suddenly asked with a serious look on his face.

“I’m not going to tell you” she winked at him and he rolled his eyes.

“I hope it’s a girl or else imma ki|| that dude” He mumbled to himself.

“What’s that? Did you say something?” She asked.

“Um.. no.. No” He stammered but she wasn’t satisfied.

They had conversed that they didn’t realized they’ve gotten to the school premises.

“I guess we’re here” He sighed.

“Yeah” She replied before coming out together with him.

The whole environment was cool as usual, and boring as ever in the sight of Larisa.

“Oh baby!!!” Tatiana and Constance cars pulled up in the parking lot as they rushed out to go embrace her.

Angelo leaned on the car and brought out a shade, putting it on which made him look more handsome under the hot unforgiving sun.

“Guys” Larisa smiled at them.

“Oh mi gosh, oh mi gosh! It’s him! The hot bodyguard!” Constance squealed excitedly and Larisa went numb instantly.

“He looks more hot today” Tatiana squealed too.

Constance rushed over to him. She tapped on his shoulder lightly, making him remove the shade to glance at her.

“I’m Constance” She introduced, stretching her hands for an handshake.

“Angelo” He replied, staring down at her stretched hand.

“Cool” she replied awkwardly.

“I’m sorry… Am I suppose to…”

Larisa burst into a loud laughter and Angelo couldn’t help but join her. Constance heaved a sigh before dropping her hands down.

“Yeah.. you were supposed to shake me in return” She grumbled.

“Let’s just go to class.. stop fooling yourself, Constance” Larisa called after her.

“He is a gay” she added.

“What!!! Gay?!!” Constance’s eyes widened and she moved away from him immediately.

“That’s right. I’m a gay, I’m sorry but no chances” He agreed, nodding his head.

“How can a handsome dude like you be a gay! Oh mi gosh!” Constance starred at him irritatingly.

Angelo rolled his eyes and Larisa couldn’t help but giggle inwardly.

“Anyways, I can still hug you at least”

She made to hug him..

“I’m a GAY!!!” He cut her off.

“Fine, I’m scrolling away.. Gay!” She fired and went to join Larisa and Tatiana.

Angelo shook his head and suddenly smiled out.

*

“Betty isn’t in school?” Larisa asked after Constance broke the news to her. Tatiana had actually departed to her department.

“It’s feels not good.. she missed two days” She replied as they dropped their bags in their seats.

“I’ll call her” Larisa got her phone and made to call Betty but Betty walked in that moment.

“Oh here she is.. Hi Betty!” Constance waved at her as she approached them with a cold shoulder.

Constance saw that she didn’t reply her, she gently sat back.

“Hi Betty” Larisa muttered when Betty got to her.

“We can’t be friends anymore” Betty dropped the bombshell.

“What!!” Constance sprang up.

Betty ignored her and faced Larisa who only remained calm.

“Why? Is there anything the problem?” She asked.

“Nothing is the problem, okay? I just realized that our friendship is waning so it’d be better if we just act like total strangers to each other.. including Constance and Tatiana” Betty said.

“What!!!” Constance sprang up again, and this time the other course mates looked at her.

“Um, I’m sorry. Carry on with what you’re doing” She smiled awkwardly and sat down back as they returned to what they were doing.

“So you just wanna end things between us without a specific reason?” Larisa asked with a brow raised up.

“Yeah” Betty swallowed nothing and Larisa went numb for a while.

“Okay.. if that’s what you want. It’s your choice, I won’t force you. I’ve lately been learning how to let go of people who doesn’t want me” Larisa answer shocked Betty and it was visible.

Larisa smirked and sat down next to Constance.

“Okay” Betty gulped and turned away to leave.

“She is just gonna end our relationship” Constance uttered.

“That’s what she wants” Larisa sighed.

•••

~3PM~

Lectures went over so quickly today or should I say school today went by so fast and Angelo was already on the road back home with Larisa.

Her phone suddenly started vibrating since she kept it in vibration mode and she looked up to see an unknown number calling her.

She glanced at Angelo and who was already taking turns to stare back at her. She slowly picked up.

“Hello” She stated.

“Kai speaking… How’re you doing today, Larisa?” Kai’s voice said on the other end.

“Oh, Kai! I almost thought I was talking to a kidnapper” She laughed.

Angelo glanced at her and furrowed his brows.

‘Why is she laughing so hard?’ He thought.

“Got any plans today? I was thinking if we could hang out a little.. I know we just met but I’ll love to know you better” Kai said again over the phone.

“I don’t know Kai…”

‘Kai??’ Angelo’s subconscious voice screamed in his head.

“Just say yes please… Please” He begged.

“Fine” She succumbed.

“I’ll come pick you up by 7”

“Sure” she answered and hung up.

“Who’s that?” Angelo asked at once and she was astonished at his sudden behavior.

“A friend of mine” She responded and he nodded before focusing back on driving.

Larisa kept staring at him without him knowing and she didn’t know when a smile appeared on her lips.

•••

~NIGHT_THE MORELLO’S_LARISA’S ROOM~

“How does this dress look, Avalon?” Larisa asked, checking herself out in front of the mirror.

She wore a short blue flare gown that has spaghetti stripes on its hands and it stopped right above her knee, making her lap show a little.

“You look stunning, baby” Avalon blew her a kiss in demonstration and she blushed.

“Thanks”

“So, who are you pulling up with?” Avalon asked as she arranged her hair properly.

“A new friend of mine” She replied.

“Friend? And you’re dressing up this way?” Avalon asked, referring to her dress.

“C’mon, it’s just a simple dress” She rolled eyes at her.

“Okay..”

“Take care of everything around.. I need to leave” Larisa said as she picked her small purse before leaving her room.

*

Meanwhile, outside, Kai’s motorbike pulled up in front of the mansion gate. He dressed up as a pizza delivery guy so it was unrecognizable for the few guards to recognized him.

He knew the routes in the house so he took another route to where he planned on meeting Larisa.

Lucas wasn’t at home since he went out for a personal meeting with Vito and Romano.

Kai made to knock on the small door but Angelo suddenly appeared in front of him. He was putting on a singlet and a short this time around.

“You?” Kai’s brows clenched and Angelo scoffed.

“Stay away from Larisa.. she isn’t going anywhere with you tonight” Angelo said.

Kai scoffed and pressed his knuckles together.

“And who are you to her?”

“Her bodyguard” He replied sternly.

“Really? A mere bodyguard and you’re ordering me to stop? Don’t forget I have a record of you”

“You don’t know who you’re messing with” Angelo groaned.

Kai was about to reply him when something suddenly caught his eyes.. the mark on Angelo’s upper arm.

“Wait…” Before Angelo could understand, he lifted his arm up and his eyes widened more when he saw the visible mark.

Angelo quickly dropped his arm down.

“Hold on… You’re the former leader of Inferno who exiled from Legend of Thyger?” He blurted.

“Stay away from her.. and leave!” Angelo replied before shutting the door at his face.

“He is the former leader?” Kai’s eyes went wide again.

*

Angelo strolled to his lair and Larisa came out from where she was hiding, eavesdropping from their conversation.

She actually heard everything between him and Kai and she only got paranoid as she stormed to his room.

He was operating on his laptop when she sauntered in.

“Why did you do that?” She demanded to know. He rubbed his eyes frustratingly and ignored her.

She clenched her fist and went closer to him. And before he could do anything, she grabbed his right arm up, revealing the eccentric mark.

“What’s this about? You have a mark?”

“It’s just a tattoo” He lied.

“I’m not a kid, Angelo! I know what I heard! What’s that mark all about?” She fired at him.

“You don’t have to know” He muttered.

“Of course. That’s what you’ll always say. You know at times, I just want to see you and look away but I can’t! I don’t want to meddle in your business but surprisingly, always find myself doing it!” She drawed and he turned to look at her.

He slowly stood up.

“And that person I didn’t mention to you this morning… Was you. Sounds stupid right?” She chuckled painfully and he could feel it.

“You made me know being desperate isn’t the good girl type but why can’t I stop thinking about you?” She flared up.

Angelo watched her numbly. He bit his lower lip hard and when he couldn’t take it anymore, he pushed her and slammed her to the nearest wall, caging her right there.

“I think I’m starting to go crazy here” With that said, he grabbed her tiny waist and crashed his lips on hers.

Kissing her so fuçking hard.
