Chapter 283
Thea
I sat out with the girls around a round table. We decided to have dinner outside and avoid Angel. The girls were angrier than I expected, especially Cassie but I believed Angel had a good explanation for it all.
We got ourselves distracted with looking up places for our outing which Cassie had suggested to Angel earlier and we all pinned towards a club.
I know a lot had happened and I had changed in certain ways but I knew I still had it in me, the naughty me that wanted to party, dance on a pole. I wanted to explore so I loved the idea of a club very much.
Camilo on the other hand wasn’t used to such but she was excited to explore. We were all on the same page and that was a good start. Hopefully Angel would permit our place of choice. Not just him but All three men because we planned to be wild.
While we discussed, we noticed Angel.
“Tell me about it, our pot of business is here.” Cassie whispered and Camilo almost laughed but held herself when we passed her a mean glare.
“So who goes first?” Camilo asked and it was surprising to see her eager.
“Like you’d say a thing.” Cassie teased.
“I plan to try.” She said excitedly. I shook my head knowing it was the idea of the club that was getting her all jacked up.
I looked at Angel and he seemed reluctant. He somewhat looked scared and sorry but that didn’t faze him. He had fucked Natalia and still brought her to stay here. I had every fucking right to get mad at him no matter what his reasons were.
“Care to explain? Brother?” Cassie was the first to stand and meet him. He gulped twice and I knew he was nervous.
“I’d like to speak to Thea.” He said and I felt a sudden chill over my body, like I was the main character in this situation, which I was to be frank.
“Hello? I’m right in front of you….” Cassie said waving her hand in front of him
“I can see that Cassandra, now i’d like to speak with Thea.”
“Well, she doesn’t want to see you.”
No, I didn’t say that Cassandra… I spoke within me.
Angel remained quite but I could feel his burning gaze on me.
“You should speak with him. He must have a good reason.” Camilo whispered. “I wish I could stay but I don’t even know what to say to him.” She said and stood up to leave. I wasn’t surprised but a bit disappointed. I was hoping she’d try like she said.
Cassie seemed to have expected much from her because she looked shocked to see her leaving but then Camilo surprised us when she stood in front of Angel. Angel looked surprised as well.
“Whatever your reasons are I still think you’re an….” She paused and looked back at me as if asking for encouragement. She returned her gaze to Angel and continued. “You’re an asshole for bringing Natalia here.” She said and my mouth parted in shock. It wasn’t possible she just said that. Camilo didn’t have such balls
The feeling was mutual as I could see the shocking expression on both Angel and Cassie.
“Sometimes I wonder if you deserve a second chance.” She blurted and walked past him. I felt a huge satisfaction within me. If Camilo could say that then Angel would understand how fucked up he was. I applauded her within but moments after, she ran back to Angel.
“You have a good explanation right?” She asked in a hopeful tone almost like she was rooting for him. Despite his shock, Angel still nodded and she gave him a huge smile.
I scoffed, I just watched that bitch take his side in front of me. She ran off and I hissed.
“Camilo….” Cassie called through gritted teeth. I couldn’t hear Cassandra and what she was saying to Angel so I left my chair and approached them.
“You can’t fuck this up you know? You better have something worth it.” I heard her whisper but in a pleading manner. Angel cleared his throat and she quickly glanced behind her noticing my presence. She gave me a nervous smile and passed a glare at Angel.
“I’m disappointed.” She said and left. I bit my inner lip trying not curse at both her and Camilo. Bitches! They were mad at him yet rooting for him? What in the name of two-faced was that?
“Thea….” Angel called and he looked like my glare could kill him now. I could feel it though, my face felt wrinkled.
“What was your reason?” I asked getting down to it at once.
“If you could just calm down and listen please. I’ll explain.” He pleaded and even that got me mad.
“Explain what?” I yelled feeling pained. “You brought Natalia, the same girl who had caused me pain from the start. The same one you fell back to while you punished me for a crime I did not commit. You fucking slept with that bitch Angel!” I paused, panting heavily. I took in deep breaths to calm myself but tears already stung my eyes. I looked away and blinked severally to push the fluid back in.
“I’m sorry.” He said in a low voice but it didn’t cool my pain as I played hurtful imaginations in my mind. “She… She has information on where Sparrow could be.” He explained.
“And?” I asked not impressed. He seemed scared that he wasn’t doing a good job at vindication himself.
“Can you try to understand me at least.”
“No.” I said shaking my head. “You should try to understand me instead. How would you feel if the tables were turned?”
“You’re right Thea.”
“So why did you bring her?” He hesitated for some seconds then spoke.
“I desperately need to know Sparrow’s whereabouts. Natalia did rat on me to Sparrow and I spared her life now it seems Sparrow wants her dead because she’s no longer of use to him.”
I laughed at how ridiculous it sounded. Why would he want her dead when he could be using her right now to get information.
“And how did you know that?”
” Some people broke into her apartment so she came to me out of fear.
“And you believe her?”
“I’m desperate as it is. I need to get to Sparrow before he could reorganize and make the first strike. Natalia seems to know where he could be hiding.” He explained but my heart didn’t want to listen. Maybe I was suspecting Natalia because I didn’t like her but Sparrow wasn’t a man of honour so he could really want her dead.
Camilo had told me how Caspian found out that Sasha had been gotten rid off after they discovered her involvement with Sparrow.
It would make sense if Sparrow went after Natalia since he killed Sasha to cover up his tracks. Maybe I should be a little open minded but I couldn’t bare to see her in the same place with me.
“So you’re just going to let her stay here?” I said angrily as against how I wanted it to come out. Angel sighed looking tired.
“I don’t want to fight with you Thea. I shouldn’t even be justifying what I did. You know what, just… Just hate me if you want right now. I don’t deserve your understanding.” He said and it pissed me off the more.
“So you’d rather not make me understand?”
“What do you want me to do Thea?” He said sounding frustrated. “I’ll do anything you want right now. I could send her out this night if that’s you want. So just say the word and let’s not drag this okay?”
I remained silent feeling at lose here. He was making me feel like I was mounting too much pressure on him. My reaction was right, I shouldn’t be made to feel guilty for it.
“I don’t want to get you mad my love.” He said coming close to me. My eyes twitched when he said the words ‘my love’ and my heart raced at the way he looked at me. I dipped my head avoiding his eyes because they had gotten too hard to look at now.
“Did you get what you want already?” I asked in a firm voice not wanting him to see that he had softened me with just two words.
“I did.”
“So what if I want her to leave tomorrow?”
“Done.” He said and I blinked. That easy? Even when her life was at risk?Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“What about tonight?” I asked curious as to how far he could go for me.
“Done. Just say the word.” He was being serious and it got me excited.
“Tomorrow then.” I said and he sighed in relieve. I tried to surpress a blush that creeped up my face. I was excited to see Natalia’s shocked face when she found out she was leaving tomorrow as against what she thought.
