Cerberus (women of mafia book 1)

  “Yayo, yayoMoo la lahYayoBitch better have my money,Y’all should know me well enough,Bitch better have my money,Please don’t call me on my bluff,Pay me what you owe me,Ballin’ bigger than LeBron,Bitch, give me your money,Who y’all think y’all frontin on?Like brrap, brrap, brrap ““Jesus Christ” I shrieked when I saw the old lady that was lurking behind me, giving me the stink eye disgusted.“I want a copy of Macbeth, rental two weeks period.”I tried to slow my heartbeats and move. This woman almost gave me a heart attack. I went to the shelves to get her the book she wanted, and who buys or rents a book this late? It’s 10 pm for God’s sake. Isn’t she afraid that someone would rob her or, worse, kill her?“Here you go ma’am, this would be.....”“I know what the cost is, here.”She threw the money on the counter and went mumbling something about kids these days who have no shame.Wow, I love Sundays;

“Ariel, wake up. You’re going to be late for school.”“ARIEL..... You better get your ass down here after ten minutes or I swear to God, I’ll drag your sorry ass to school wearing your pajama. “I groaned in annoyance and tossed around, a big yawn escaped my lips. I opened my eyes slowly blinking, then shrugging, and again drifted back to sleep.“ARIEL.”“Damn it, just calm down woman, I’m awake.” I shouted back at my mother that woman doesn’t chill.I stretched like a cat and turned around my face buried into my pillow; I inhaled deeply and sighed. Closing my eyes, I smiled softly and rubbed my face all over the soft fabric, enjoying its sweet masculine smell. I sighed again, enjoying the sweet feeling. After two seconds I shot up looking around frantically searching for the stranger who I found yesterday. Just as I was about to get out of the bed, my bedroom door swung open and my angry mom’s face greeted me.“So I’m gonna drag you out of bed then.” She said,

Insomnia.......It’s been three days since I had a decent sleep. I can’t concentrate, I can’t communicate with anyone, I can’t even participate in anything. It’s like my mind wants to be shut off of anything and everything. Yep, I’m going into a deep depression and the best thing is I’m all alone. I didn’t see my mom since Monday and it is Friday today. God, I just want to stay asleep and never wake up ever again.Ugh, is it that time of the month? Damn you, periods. That’s why I hate being a girl; though it’s early for that torture....... ugh I need to get up.I rolled over the bed and kicked like a little kid, but because I knew it’s the last day of the week, I thought it’s better to get it over with.God, I hate high school, so much drama, and hormones. Yep, it’s all about hormones. I chuckled lowly. I’m sulking, and it’s only 6 in the morning. It is going to be a LONG day, man...... I hate my life.I took a shower, brushed my teeth, and didn’t bother to tame my ha

  I groaned and closed my eyes tighter to block the light; I tried to use my arm as a shield, but I couldn’t. There was something heavy preventing me from moving. I groaned again, annoyed, but then I felt the little movement of a warm body next to me. Opening my eyes slowly, I looked down at that warm body. It was her, Ariel. She was sleeping peacefully snuggled at my side. Half of her body was above mine, her right arm around my torso, her right leg between my long legs, my right arm holding her tightly closer to my body. I used my left hand to brush some curls away to be able to see her beautiful face; she sighed and snuggled even closer. I smiled and searched for my alarm clock to check the time. 09:00 Am! I slept more than 8 hours?! That’s a first. I looked back at Ariel’s serene face again and remembered yesterday’s events. It was a hectic day, no doubt. After coming back from the Vegas meeting, I was discussing the new secur

I sat on the bed for a while after Mr. Stranger left, still trying to comprehend what’s going on. I still don’t understand. What am I doing here? Or How I came here? I groaned and fell back on the bed; it was soft and tender and so freaking big wow.I turned on my stomach and inhaled deeply, and sighed. Yes, this is his smell. I still remember it perfectly. Though it started to fade back home, his masculine scent, mixed with his cologne, surrounded me like a safe cocoon. I rolled on the bed like a happy cat having her first dose of catnap. His scent made me feel high.I knew it was weird. I should be panicking right now because hello I wake up in a stranger’s bed, a dangerous one at that. But all I felt was safe and protected. Besides, he’s my stranger, so bite me if you don’t like it.I walked to the door he just entered before he left and found his walk-in closet and what I saw made me gap like an idiot. It was huge, bigger than our house, and has everything a man needs;
