Unexpected Love

•Chapter Eight•

It had been about two weeks and Miya still hadn't heard from Nik. When Mark came to get her, he didn't take her home. Instead he brought her to Reece's house, he was her cousin. He has dirty blonde hair, green eyes. He was about five-ten in height, the guy was a real hard ass probably because he was apart of the CIA.

The house she's in, is an old Victorian, it has three bedrooms and two bathes. The living area was black and grey, very depressing well at least that's why Miya thought.

She was lying on the sofa flipping through channels but nothing was on that was worth watching. She groaned as she turned on her back looking up at the ceiling, her mind started to race. Maybe Nik has moved on, it was obvious he didn't care for her that much because he let her go. Soon her mind drifted to a much darker place, death. He was probably out there doing god knows what, killing someone or at least shooting. She closed her eyes slowly and started listening to the sounds around her. The television was playing Supernatural reruns, the window was open which caused a cool breeze to fill the house, Miya could hear the crickets just chirping away. Soon she heard the door open, Miya didn't bother opening her eyes because she knew exactly who it was. Reece.

"Miya I got us some food from Fredo's pizza" Reece said. He had a black, yellow Thrasher hoodie on, grey jeans and converses. He placed the pizza box on the coffee table, he then lifted up her feet so he could sit down. "Are you still thinking about him?" Reece asked as he placed both legs on his lap, he then started to massage her feet.

"No, I'm actually not" Miya had lied. She was thinking about him all day, she just couldn't get him out of her mind. Miya could smell the sent of his Polo red, a smile came across her face. She could see his body shape, tattoos on his perfect body, the way his hair was slicked back and well done.

"Miya" Reece said tickling her feet, he knew that was her weak spot.

Her wiggled her feet and then started to laugh a little. "Ree stop it" Miya looked at him with a smile. "You know damn well, I don't like that" she said.

Reece sighed then reached over grabbing the pizza, he opened up the box. "I know you want a slice" he had held the L for a few seconds. It was Miya's favorite, peppers, mushrooms, pepperoni with extra extra cheese.

"You know me so well" Miya looked up at Reece. She then reached over grabbing a slice, it was so gooey and cheesy. Miya soon took a bit the toppings started to fall on her chest. "Ree go get me a plate please" Miya said before sitting up on the sofa.

Reece groaned with an eye roll, he got up and headed towards the kitchen. When he reached inside he headed towards the sink so he could wash his hands, it was a blue backsplash. It always reminded Reece of the sea, such a calming color. After he washed them he went over to grab a kitchen towel from one of the green cabinets, he dried it then tossed the red towel on the tan marble counter top. Reece walked over to the stainless steel fridge, he opened it up grabbing two waters. His fridge didn't have much in it, only a few bottles of water and some fruit. He shut it then walked over to one of the cabinets that had plates in them, it was one of those cabinets that didn't have a door on them. Once he had those in his hands, he went back to the living room.

"Here you go" Reece handed her a plate, she placed her pizza on top of it then sat it on the coffee table.

"Thanks Ree, for everything you've done for me" she said.

"It's no problem" Reece said. "This us what favorite cousins do" he added before grabbing a slice of pizza.

Miya laughed a little, then picked up her pizza nd started to eat it. That night her and Reece talked about everything, including Nik who Reece would soon grow to dislike.

One the other side of town, Nik was there working up a sweat at the gym alone. He didn't want to be bothered, he went over wrapping up his hands. Then headed over to the punching bag, he had so much built up anger. He started to punch it hard as he could, things started to get to him. Incident at the zoo, him never talking to Miya again and noe the damn Germans were trying to get over him again. "Fuck!" he yelled before punching it again. He suddenly heard someone come in, he looked over to see Phoenix come inside. "What's up man?" he asked as he crossed his arms.

"Little Tony, tired to get over on us again" Phoenix said. He was an African-American man, with long curly brown hair and brown eyes, he stood about five-eleven, muscly built. "We need you other there now" he added.

"Fine let's go" Nik said as he unwrapped his hand. He tossed it to them to the side, then looked over at Phoenix. "Just so you know, when I get there. I plan on killing him" he added.

Phoenix nodded his head, he didn't question Nik because Nik doesn't take too kindly to that. "Are you okay though? I mean I know you're upset about Miya" Phoenix said. "But there's other pussy in the world" he added.

"Shut up Phoenix before I kill you" Nik said. "I'm not worried about Miya, I barely even knew her so let's go now" he added before slanging his gym bag over his shoulder and walking out the door.
