Stolen moments

Chapter 44

"Don't try whatever you are trying to do" I look up at the direction of the voice.

"What am i doing Jared?" I asked sounding bored.

"I saw the red hair, she is bad news bro" he rubs his eyes looking tired all of a sudden.

"Bad news? That's interesting... By the way you should have a taste of her, she gives good DP and her reverse cowgirl is remarkable"

"I thought you like Leah, it seems this Claire girl as occupied your mind" he teased.

"I love Leah alright, but i need to find my release somewhere else.... But what i would do to grab those round ass"

"You are disgusting.. " he glares at me in disgust as i chuckled.  "seriously bro.... Let them be, you will find someone else"

"If you don't have anything to say Jared, you can leave" he was about to speak again "drop it!" I said my voice sounding cold as i glowered at him. He sighed.

"It will end in tears Antonio... But am warning you, if you dare lay a finger on her, you will have to answer to me!" He said icily, glaring at me before storms out. I laugh out, for the first time in forever, Jared lost his cool on me.
************************************

We stare at each other as Alejandro went into the police station, yes you heard me right. What am i doing in a police station? I was still working my shift in the flower shop, going through the flower beds when i got a call that my two adorable brothers were arrested.

The two were arrested along side Nicholio, for violating the authorities in which involves showing their remarkable skills of spray painting on a wall. Graffiti... They were graffitiing, if that is even a word. Trust my brothers to steal the show.

It does bothers me why the two boys were arrested. After much thinking i concluded that, either the cops were confused on who was involved as the bolted from the scene, but one hawk eye cop saw them. Or they refuse to turn each other out. My votes is on Max, always in trouble.

I was on my way to bail them out when i was met with the sight of my long lost friend and his brother. We exchanged greetings as Alejandro offered to help with the bail urging me to stay back thereby leaving him with him.

"You look good.. " he said as i raised my eyebrows in confusion, i stare at my outfit which consists of a white top which as a sweetheart neckline, a deep blue jeans shorts which reaches my thigh, a sandal and my necklace. My hair is in a high ponytail.

"Hmm... Thank you?" The air was tensed, at least he apologized, but i don't understand the disappearing act. I went to his house to check on him, the maid said he was not around. I left him a voicemail, he never replied, but now here he is telling me how good i look.

"Look, am sorry for not replying your message"

"Oh... So you finally noticed" I said coolly as he winced. I lean on my old car, rolling my eyes.

"Can we forget that this ever happened and continued from where we stopped?" He asked unsurely referring to the kiss.

"Antonio i can never stay mad at you, you are like a brother to me, you hold a special place in my heart" I told him quietly.

"I thought i had been replaced?" He jibed, here we go again. I roll my eyes upwards as if asking the celestial powers to help me in dealing with this guy.

"Hunter is different Tony... He does not hold a special place, he-he owns it" I whispered as Antonio eyes widen in shock. I sigh leaving the body of my car walking towards him.

"You love him?" He asks.

"In love, am in love with him" I blushed at my words, it's really awkward sharing your feelings with someone, especially a male friend who claims he has feelings for you. "Look Tony, you are my best friend and i love you so much, don't let this minor thing get between us,you are like the elder brother i never had"

I begged him, he stares at me trying to speak but kept quiet when we saw figures approaching. I sigh as Alejandro stared at us in confusion, the boys followed him with different expressions on their faces.. Matt was seething, glaring into space, Nicholio looks like he rather be anywhere but here while Max kept the blank face.

"Please tell me you wore a beanie or a bandana, your hair is like a neon sign" Nicholio blushed,of course he didn't, Matt stormed past us, opening the backseat of my car, getting inside, i flinched as he slams it. Ouch! My poor baby. "So you two are the famous Michelangelo of our town" I said my voice full of sarcasm. 

"I prefer Raphael.." I glowered at him.

"Am not in the mood to talk about dead Renaissance artist Max, what were you two thinking?!" I snap at them.

"They are dead but their legacy lives on" he chided, he is not gonna give up, his he?

"But their legacy was not spray painting on the wall and writing 'fuck the cops, the sheriff is a sham!' Seriously?!" We now have an audience who was watching our banter with interest.

"That era was boring, i mean__ sis!" He quickly ducks at the incoming weapon, a pebble, i pick another one but he quickly ran towards my car, opening the front door and quickly settles down. Finally he got the message. I always throw things at them whenever they are trying to prove stubborn.

"Thank you Alejandro, i owe you a lot" I thanked him. He smiles, which was always a strange sight on him, only closed family and friends as the opportunity to witness this.

"It is nothing Leah, just ensure you take care,okay?" His baritone voice rang out, it always carries a lot of power. I nod. "Come on cugino..(cousin) " he motions towards Nicholio,he followed him as Antonio stayed back.

"Well.. I better go, before they chew each other heads off" I turn to look at my car, viewing the two occupants. One had a blank look on his face, the other was glaring at his head from the back.

"Yeah, you should... I wonder how they haven't pounced on each other yet" I giggled, as he smiles at me, thank God the air is no more tensed. "Can we meet up tomorrow at our normal place, the pizza hut?"

"Okay... Same time right?" He nods. "I will be there" I give him a hug as he does the same, inhaling, he was smelling my hair again, i released him. "Take care Tony"

He nods, as i walk towards my car, he stood there watching me till i start the car, leaving his shadow behind. Guess my best friend is back.

What do you think Antonio is up to?
