Someone snoring loudly behind me wakes me up, shifting a little I look down and see someone's arm wrapped around me. Gently moving the arm I turn around and find Nate peacefully sleeping, sitting up a sharp pain shoots through my head.
Fucking hell, I'm never drinking again.
Don't lie to yourself Val.
Fuck you inner thoughts.
Sluggishly getting out of bed I find bottled water and some aspirin on the side table, thank the goddesses. Tossing the pills back and gulping down the water, I wipe my mouth with the back of my hand glancing back at Nate who's still passed out.
I need to talk to Felix today and the Petrov's again about everything, I know who killed Felix's family and I need to know what else happened in Russia. I got the jest last night but I was pretty fucking drunk and everyone was pissing me off, I was at the angry drunk stage I guess.
Putting the water back, I slide back into bed and lay back down, and stare at Nate's face. Slyly poking his cheek, he stirs a little and absentmindedly slaps my hand away making me smirk.
"Fuck off," Nate grumbles, his nose all scrunched up and cute.
"You're in my bed sweet cheeks, you fuck off." I chuckle.
His eyes snap open and he stares at me blankly before blinking like a mad man, he sighs before he lays on his back stretching, "how do you feel love?"
"Eh, could be better."
"I thought you were going to kill Dimitri last night," Nate admits.
Ignoring his statement because I would never hurt him, I change the subject, "you know how Hayden and I were getting together right? Well, do you remember his dad?"
Nate tenses before he lays back on his side, frowning at me, "yeah Carter Lopez right? He's in Mexican Cartel, why?"
"He killed Felix's family, why? I don't know and I don't care but I'm going to help Felix kill him. The only problem with that is, well the obvious — he's in the fucking cartel and is a big fucking deal."
"Fuck sake, we should have our own god damn reality tv show with the amount of drama in our lives Val. This takes the cake though, it's not going to be easy." Nate warns.
"I know," sighing, I close my eyes, "Felix needs this though to fully move on and find peace, I'm going to help give him that no matter what."
"I agree, how do you it was Carter that killed them though?" Nate cautiously asks.
"I read over Felix's statement and he described the perpetrator in great detail, he drew the tattoo on a napkin last night and it's the same as Carter's and I know it's him. I've met him multiple times when I was with Hayden, I've seen it up close and personal — no one else has it."
"I believe you, do you want help with this?" Nate whispers and I slowly open my eyes and smile.
"No, you're going to help your boyfriend today with his family, they should be arriving today. I have this covered with Felix, if we need anything you'll be the first person I ask."
"You're spending a lot of time with Felix." Nate hedges.
Pursing my lips, I start to frown at him, "what's that supposed to mean?"
"Just be careful Val, you have enough guy drama to last you a lifetime and you don't need more."
"Wait — you think I have feelings for Felix?" I whisper yell at him like he's insane for even thinking that.
I don't have feelings for Felix, I must admit we have gotten closer but he told me I remind him of his sister. There's nothing there, I think. Fuck, I don't need this. Mez is on my mind all the time, there isn't a day that goes by when I'm not thinking about him.
"It's nothing love, forget I said anything. We should get up though, Carlos and Marcus are coming today as well." Nate says, sitting up and stretching.
"Welp, thanks for the cuddles then sweet cheeks. Now get out so I can shower and get ready for the day, can you tell Luc that I need them to give Felix the week off please?"
"Yeah okay." He says before leaving my room.
P E C C A T R I C I
We just received confirmation that the Petrovs arrived safely at the Rossi residence, our father will know that they escaped now and where they were because of his spy in their home. Hopefully, Val can take care of that soon, that way I can think about leaving here and going home to her.
Milos and I have been avoiding our father, he's been leaving messages telling us that the assassination plans have changed now since he found out Luis is heading to America as well. Milos and I are currently hiding out at one of Milos's safe houses waiting for our orders, I'm pretty sure Galen is going to want us to go after the Spanish Mafia next — the other half of Val's family.
"If we kill Alejandro, your girl will have our heads. We can't kill him but our father isn't going to give us a choice, if we don't kill him he'll be onto us. We need Val to take out the spy soon, it's the only way." Milos says, glancing at me over the rim of his coffee cup.
'I know, message Dimitri and tell him that the spy has to be taken care of as soon as possible.' I sign.
He nods, fishing out his phone and typing away on it, "Done. Galen just messaged me and confirmed that the Spanish are the next target, pack your things because we're going to Spain brother."
'Inform Dimitri of our next target so they can warn them but tell them to let Alejandro know that you and I are going to help them escape if it comes to that.' I sign before leaving and heading to my room to pack.
"I'm not your little errand boy, ya know!" Milos calls out and I flip him off, making him let out a laugh.
Packing my suitcase I hear my phone ding, picking it up I open the message I've received.
"Looks like little Valentina Rossi is moving on without you."
Clicking on the files attached it has multiple photos of Felix and Valentina a bit too close for comfort with each other. There are photos of them at a bar, leaning in close to one another with smiles on their faces. The other photo is of Felix giving Val a piggyback ride and she's got the biggest grin on her face and Felix looks like he's laughing. The last file is a video, I press play and it has Val and Felix dancing together at a bar.
There's no way, someone is fucking with me.
