278 I Love To Be With You
Mimi could not forget the look on Dracoâs face even as Victor drove her home. There was nothing but sheer terror there and she knew undoubtedly that he was not seeing the limelight tomorrow.
âHeâs not leaving this wood alive, is he?â Mimi didnât even know when the question slipped out of her mouth. The atmosphere before they left was already self-explanatory, but she needed confirmation.
âYes,â Victor didnât bother to beat around the bush or mix his words this time. He didnât even look at her before answering, making those doubts in her head pop up again.
Mimi tried not to be scared or judgemental because Draco brought this one on himself. But she was still not used to living this life of crime and violence. Mimi wasnât even sure if she wanted to be used to it.
He finally looked at her saying, âHe failed the test.â
Her head whipped towards him in surprise, âWhat test?â then it hit her, âOh.â He intentionally gave Draco that gun.
Victor said to her, âI saw the look on your face, those accusing.... â
âI didnât....â Mimi trailed off, unable to defend herself.
âDonât worry,â Victor nodded in understanding, âI knew if I killed him that instant, your opinion of me would change. So l -â.
.....
âLet it play out before me.â She looked him in the eyes, âNo matter what, Draco would eventually come back for revenge. Neither you nor I, none of us are safe with him alive.â She said it all.
He sighed, âOur world is not in black and white, Mimi. Itâs black entirely and you have to get used to it. Youâre already in, thereâs no going back, my love.â
Mimiâs heart skipped a beat, that was what she was scared of and it finally happened. What had she even been expecting in the first place, getting involved with them. It just didnât hit her how dangerous this was until recently.
âBut donât worry,â Victor roused her from her thoughts, âAs long as Iâm alive, I promise you one thing though, no harm will come your way. I swear it upon my life.â
Mimi knew he meant every word he said with that fire in his eyes that stole her breath away. He looked so charming right now. A-hem! What the hell was she thinking?!
Mimi coordinated her thoughts and was able to smile at him, âThank you.â
âYou donât need to thank me. Me and my family, we turned your life upside down. Itâs the least I can do to compensate you for the loss you suffered.â And would suffer in the future, Victor didnât add that one. He didnât want to scare her further.
Even if he wanted to let her go now, it was kind of impossible. Their fate was greatly entangled now, not to mention that he was a selfish bastard. He liked her and would not let go.
The both of them dwelled in a comfortable silence until they reached her place when he suddenly said, âYou know, you could spend the night with me?â
Mimi gulped, she knew what he was offering but she hesitated, âIâm sorry but my parents saw me go to bed, they would expect me in the morning. âAnd she wasnât lying, but it was a convenient excuse. She could easily come up with an excuse to explain her disappearance to her parents, but Victor canât know that. Everything was going too fast; she needed to think.
âAlright then.â Victor packed across the street so he didnât wake her parents up since she was about to sneak back in and erase any evidence she ever left the house that night.
The street was almost empty, well, who would be awake by two in the morning. It was amazing how those Mafia men could work efficiently at night, Mimi could already feel exhaustion sipping into her bones.
âStay safe, Mimi,â Victor said, surprisingly pecking her on the cheek without going in for the full kiss â and she kind of felt disappointed.
Get your head in the game, Mimi! Donât be carried away by those gestures. Heâs just messing around, she told herself.
With a deep breath, Mimi grabbed the door and was about to leave when she turned and suddenly asked him,
âWhat does this mean to you?â
âWhat?â
âThese changes in our friendship? Me? What do I mean to you?â She asked him bravely without taking her eyes off him. It was now or never.
âI honestly donât know.â was Victorâs reply that made her heart sink until he added, âBut all I know is that I love to be with you. Each moment I spend with you is worth it, Mimi.â
âReally?â Her eyes brightened.
âReally. â He said with finality, clasping her cheeks.
âWhat about your other women?â Mimi knew she wasnât one for sharing. When sheâs dating someone, her manâs hers alone.
âFor how long have you seen me with a woman?â He asked her.
Now Mimi thought about it, it has been quite a while since sheâs seen that. The Victor she previously knew couldnât go a day without a woman by his side. If thereâs anyone heâs been hovering around lately, it was her.... Oh, God.
Victor smirked when she saw the dots connect in her head and then he was leaning down, seeking her lips.
âI guess we could give it a try...â She was still saying when his lips met her and the air became charged.
Mimi kissed him with careless abandon, now they were on the same side, the worry had been lifted off her chest. The kiss was so intense that Mimi knew at once they were doing it in the car, she couldnât wait any longer â and neither could he.
Her shirt was gone in the next minute and Victor took her breast â he hadnât been able to take his eyes off throughout the night â into his mouth. He pleased her to the point Mimi couldnât differentiate her right from her left.
And the next, her hands were working on his belt while he worked on her tight denim shorts in the cramped space of the car. They worked it out somehow and Mimi found herself slamming down on his hard member.
âF*ck!â She gasped, feeling his hardness stretch her. The fullness he created inside of her was so euphoric she wanted to drown on it. And then, she was riding him to an orgasm that would sure as hell blow their mind away.
