LIKE I CAN
-she'll never love you like i can-
Comet raises an eyebrow when i walk into the apartment that was mine but is now his because Ciro and I decided to move into together but now Ciro and I are in an argument and we're not even looking at each other so i'm moving back in.
"Keilani."
"I'm taking your spare room." I walk straight to it, he follows me and when i fall onto the bed, he sits with me.
"What happened?"
"Ciro happened." I look at him through my eyelashes, a bruise on his neck. "Who gave you a hickey?" I change the subject.
"Oh... uh-"
"Com, where's your boxers?" I hear my boyfriends underboss shout.
I sit up smiling, "No way." I whisper.
"Shut up, Ciro doesn't know." He slaps me gently, walking away.
Obviously, i get up and walk after him.
I did not expect to see Stefans dick.
I turn around, "My bad." Why do all these Italians have big dicks?
"Keilani, lovely to see you." He clears his throat and then i heard his footsteps and the door clsoe.
I turn back around and Comet awkwardly stood there, "Yeah..."
"How long?" I pull him down on the couch.
"Like... since you and Ciro broke up for the first time. Where's your ring, Kay?"
"Shut up, that's irrelevant. Is he nice?" I smile.
"He's very... very good in bed. And he's really understanding. And he kisses my softly." He rubs his lips together trying to hide a smile, "And hes super caring. God, he's like perfect."
I excitedly slap him, "I'm so happy for you. I expect the whole story." My phone pings and i take it from my pocket, looking at Ciro at a breakfast place sitting opposite the girl that was here last night.
I don't even care at this point.
I'll get my stalker on my own and i'll do it today.
"Who was that?" Comet asks.
"Just some guy from the case i'm working on." I stand up, "Look, i love you and you better tell me all of this when i get back."
"Where are you going?" He stands up.
"Left my guns and knives at Ciro's but i have a case. See you." I walk away.
I get in my car, drive back to Ciro's place and i see a white mercedes' outside.
I know Ciro drives a land rover, a harley davidson and the rest of his cars are Ferrari's.
I walk into the house, smelling the cookies that Ciro and I always make.
I know i left my gun in the kitchen so i walk there first, stopping when i see them baking together. He had a smile over his face as she mixed all the ingredients together.
When he sees me, the smile his is still on his face but it drops a little, like he isn't fond, "Hey, baby."
"Don't baby me. Where's my gun?" I take his house key out of my key ring.
"Living room."
I leave the key on the floor as i walk into the living room, seeing a suitcase. A fucking pink suitcase.
I spot my gun on the coffee table so i pick it up, "Let's talk, Keilani-"
"No. I think you do enough talking with your whores, Coin." I try to leave the room but he blocks the exit.
"She's not a whore." He looks me up and down.
"Oh so you can defend her but you can't defend me?" I scoff, "Move." I fold my arms across my chest.
"Not while you're mad at me. Let's talk, or at least put the ring back on-"
"No. You gave me that ring as a promise. No more lies. And you broke that stupid ass promise yourself. You went to her after our argument, you spent breakfast with her instead of finding me, you're baking with her- if you like her that much you can fucking have her, just leave me the fuck alone."
He stares at me as if i'm delusion, "Are you serious?"
"You wanna let some blonde bimbo rub up on you while i'm waiting for you in our bedroom, go ahead. Give her her the ring, hell, give her everything you bought me-"
"What the fuck is wrong with you, Keilani?"
"Move, Ciro. I'm busy."
"No, seriously. You are my girlfriend."
"Treating me like it would be a great start." My eyes drift to her standing by the wall, a smug smirk on her face. "Move before i beat the shit out of you."
"Want me to say i'm sorry?" He turns my chin so i'm looking at him. "Oh i'm am sincerely sorry that i spoke to my childhood friend for twenty years ahout you. My deepest, darkest-"
I slap him around the face, tears threatening my eyes. "Your childhood friend that you've fucked before, remember that, Coin." I push past him. "Hell, i limited my time with Kaleb to put your fucking jealousy issues at ease and you will do the things we do together with that bitch because we're in an argument? Fuck you, Coin." I walk to where she was standing, pushing her as i grab my knives from the drawer.
She slaps me clean across the face.
"Holly, what the fuck?" Ciro shouts.
I wrap her blonde extensions around my fist, pulling her head down to my knee three times and then pushing her back, looking at her bloody nose.
"Keilani?" Ciro falls to his knees, "What the fuck?"
"We're done, Ciro." I grab my knives, walking out of the house.
When i see him actually run after me i felt a little better.
He grabs my wrists, "No, we're not."
"Yes we are." I pull my wrists away, "You fuck her, and as many other girl as you want but don't drag me into it."
"I'm not fucking her Keilani!" He raises his voice.
"Then what the fuck are you doing with her at 7AM in the morning? At midnight? Hiding her from me while i'm asleep. How come i've never heard of her before? You defend her but you don't defend me. You tell her our shit- my shit." I push his chest, "I told you about what happened to me because i trusted you. Not for you to tell your bitches about it."
"She's an old friend-"
"That you've fucked. She's clearly fucking into you, Ciro. She was rubbing up on you last night and you just let her!" I shout. "I'm your girlfriend, Ciro. Your fiancée as you want. At least have some fucking decency to push her away, or at least fucking tell me."
"You didn't stay long enough to hear me tell her you are the one i love-"
"I shouldn't have to." I open my car door. "As soon as she said shit about me you should have defended me. As soon as she rubbed up on you you should have pushed her away- Hell, you shouldn't have even called her. I was waiting for you for an enitre hour, Ciro. Only to find out you're drinking with her. Now you're making our cookies with her. Friend or not, i don't give a shit. If you got some unresolved feelings in there for her then act on it because i'm not dealing with this." I get in the car.
He opens the door, pulling my hand and taking the ring out of his pocket. He forces it onto my finger, then grabs my throat. "That's for you, amore. It's your size. I got the diamonds added for you. It's yours." He squeezes my throat gently. "When you're back from whatever it is the fuck you're doing, you're going to come here and we're going to talk about this."
I move his hand away from my throat, "And you're gonna be with her while i'm out?"
"No. I'm gonna sit at our home alone and wait for you to return. You're mine, Keilani. I don't want nobody else." He reaches over, pulling the seatbelt across my body. "Where are you going?"
"I have a case." I try and close the door but he stops it.
"I'm sorry, Keilani."
"I don't think you are." I slam the door shut, driving off straight away with a damn ring on my finger.
He watches me leave his driveway and i wait on the highway for ten minutes before the white mercedes' drives past.
Now i have a stalker to fucking kill.
