LUCIUS DEVINE
“Here, beautiful” I whispered as I pulled the chair for Lisa to sit.
“Thank you” she raised her head slightly to look at me as she lowered herself to the chair.
I kissed her on the cheek before walking over to my chair and sitting down.
“Do you have to call me beautiful and all sort of adorable names like everytime?” Lisa chuckled.
“Of course. When you have the prettiest, loveliest and most adorable woman who radiates beauty like the moon itself… No, more than the moon itself, you know you have to remind her every moment about how precious she is”
“Lucius” her face flushed red as she giggled at my words.
“You look up at the moon” I said to her and she raised her head up.
We were having dinner at a rooftop restaurant. I had wanted to book the entire restaurant but Lisa had been against it. She wanted to have a dinner with other people around. I would have rather had it the other way but whatever my Cupcake wanted was what she got. Her wants were supreme.
“Now, don’t you see that you are much more beautiful than it is?” I asked.
“Nah, you are just flattering me” she gave that beautiful and soft life that made me fall in love with her all over again.
“I am not and you know that best. Even Venus is jealous of you, that, I am sure of” I said and I was damn serious about what I said.
If the goddess venus indeed existed, then she would be jealous of Lisa’s beauty and gorgeousness.
For the next few seconds, I was totally mesmerized by her beauty. I could see her lips moving but I couldn’t hear a word she was saying.
Heavens knew I had missed Lisa so freaking much. It had been a few days since she had returned back with me but the farthest I had gone with my Cupcake was kissing her on the cheeks and forehead.
I wanted to kiss her lips so badly. I wanted to suck on them and feel them against mine once more but fuck! I didn’t want Lisa to feel that her body was all I loved and nothing more.
But I was heavily attracted to her and wanted to kiss her hard. But still yet, I felt the need to hold back on the urge just to assure Lisa that I love her.
“Lucius?” She snapped her fingers in front of me, bringing me out of my reverie.
“Cupcake”
“What were you thinking about?”
“You. What else can I think about other than….”
“Mr. Devine.” I heard a feminine voice call my name, making me stop my words.
I looked towards the direction the voice came from and found Miss. Reilly approaching me.
She was one of my business partners. A bit flirty and all but I didn’t give a damn about her. Not even one bit.
She had a huge smile on her face as she stopped by our table. Lisa also had her eyes on her.
“Hello, Mr. Devine” Reilly smiled widely and stretched her hand out to me for a handshake but almost immediately, Lisa had gotten up to her feet.
“Excuse me, Miss.” She called Reilly’s attention so quickly. She had a stern look on her face and fuck! She looked adorable. Jealous Lisa was one of her cutest versions and so even though I could easily tell Reilly to leave, I decided to let Lisa just take control of the situation.
“Yes?” Reilly turned to face Lisa.
“Don’t you know to acknowledge the presence of the woman at the table before just jumping on the man?” Lisa asked.
“I was just greeting Mr. Devine
“Well, who are you to him?” Lisa asked and Reilly glanced at me before looking back at Lisa.
“I am his business partner and you are….”
“I am his girlfriend” Lisa said proudly.
Those words almost made my heart burst out of excitement.
I got on my feet and walked to Lisa’s side, grabbing her by the waist and pulling her close to me.
“That’s right. This is Lisa, my woman.”
“Yeah, his woman” Lisa added and I held back a smile.
“Cupcake, this is Miss. Reilly. She is my business partner and strictly nothing more” I stated firmly and the smile on Reilly’s face dropped.
She put up a faux smile and stretched her hand to Lisa.
“Nice meeting the woman who stole Mr. Devine’s heart”
“Nice meeting the woman who is Mr. Devine’s business woman and will never be more” Lisa replied and I just could not hold back the smile.
“That was….” Reilly glanced at me, letting the faux smile go.
“I will just leave now” she said and walked away.
I chuckled as Lisa glared at her.
“My Cupcake is so jealous” I turned to face her.
“Did you see the way she just walked to us? Without even considering the fact that you were obviously on a date? I know that walk and that flirtatious smile on her face. She is definitely after you.”
“But like you said, she will never have me”
“No other woman can have you, Lucius. No other woman.”
“And no other man…” I moved closer to her, locking our eye contact.
“Can have you too” my gaze fell to her lips and I stared at it for a while before looking away from her lips.
“Let’s continue our date” I said but she held my arm, stopping me from pulling away from her.
“Kiss me” She suddenly demanded and I kissed her on the forehead.
She seemed like she was about to say something else when my phone rang, stopping her from saying what she intended to say.
I reached for my phone and brought it out of my pocket. It was Andro calling.
“Just a minute, Cupcake” I said to her and settled her back in her chair.
I walked a few steps away before picking the call.
“Hello boss”
“How is it going?”
“Sandro is being extra careful. He is not taking any new men at the moment to avoid a person of ours getting in but we have managed to buy over a few of his men. We will soon have enough persons to launch a successful attack on him.”
“Good. Contact Sandro’s business partners and propose business to them. I will deal with the negotiation. I am willing to settle for a little less than usual. I will bring Sandro down, butcher him slowly while keeping him alive. And then I will bury him, keeping his head out of the ground and then I’ll slash his head off.” I took in a deep breath to relieve the anger that had built up inside of me from talking about it.
“Send me the list of everyone close to Sandro. He’ll regret touching Lisa by the time I am fucking done with him.”
