Stalked by the Mafia Boss

“There, all done.” Korina said tying up the trash bag, she scanned the apartment and felt a deep inner satisfaction, it was clean and well organised now.

“Now it looks like where an actual person is staying.” Daniella said, she was leaning against the cupboard, “And it’s all thanks to me.” She smirked, Korina shook her head and bent to pick the last trash bag, she had no strength to argue with her best friend.

The trip up and down the elevator was quite fast today unlike the day she got stuck with a mad man, she had gone to dispose the trash and the elevator decided to be fast.

She rolled her eyes at the thought of it being slow when she had to go to work.

“Whenever are you gonna reply Cole?” Daniella asked as soon as Korina stepped back in the apartment.

“I don’t know Dan.” She said moving to the sink to wash her hands, “I screamed at him while he was trying to help.”

She squirted some sanitizer in her hands, “I feel so ashamed and stupid.”

“Yes!” Daniella agreed with her, “you should be.”

“Stop making matters worse and making me feel awful.” Korina grumbled grabbing a napkin to clean her hands before moving to the sitting room.

“Why won’t I?” Daniella asked, “You caused it.”

“Fuck you, rub it in my face will you?” Korina grabbed a throw pillow and threw it in Daniella’s direction which she caught perfectly.

“Uhuhn… nahh.” Daniella said putting the pillow down, “I ain’t playing with you.” Korina watched her with quirked brows.

“I put in my soul and sweat to clean up this room, it ain’t even thirty minutes yet and you wanna throw it upside down.” Daniella frowned, “Not happening.”

“Did you put your blood in too?” Korina rolled her eyes.

“Hmm?”

“Did you put your blood in too?” She asked her cousin again.

“Idiot.” Daniella groaned, “What’s the next on the list?”

“Grocery shopping.” Korina answered.

“Have you made a list of what you wanted yet?”

“Nah.” She shook her head.

“Let’s make one.”

Korina grabbed a pen and notepad then she and Daniella set out to list making.

“Cherries.” Daniella said, “Add cherries.”

“What else?” Korina asked after writing it down.

“Some rice and you do need some baking ingredients.” Daniella suggested.

“Yeap!” She scribbled, “And also fruits.” She wrote them down and looked up at her cousin for more items.

They did their final touch ups on the grocery shopping list and set out to go.

“Daniella!” Korina called, “Let’s go.” She looked at Daniella who was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, “What are you doing there now?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Looking cute, what else?” Daniella drew the lip gloss stick across her lips before pressing and rubbing them together.

“Let’s go.”

“Be with you in a sec.”

Korina went towards her and grabbed her by the collar and began dragging her out the door knowing fully well that a second was gonna turn into an hour. Daniella grumbled all the way from the room down the elevator and to the car.

She didn’t like the fact that Korina had dragged her and she was going out with just lipgloss.

“Why wouldn’t you let me fix my face up?” Daniella scowled giving Korina death glares.

“Cause you obviously gonna spend hours at that table.” She inserted the key into the key hole turning on the ignition.

“Wrong answer.”

“Oh dear.” Korina rolled her eyes, “she got a better and more reasonable answer”

“A real friend would gave said, ” Cause babe, you look better and prettier without makeup, you are perfect.” Daniella scoffed.

“You are never gonna ever hear that or those words from me.”

“Asshole.” She pinched her.

Korina sighed, “just shut up Dan.”

The grocery shop was jam packed and so were all other shops. It took them a long while before they could get all they needed.

“So what are you gonna do about work?” Daniella asked as they took the paper shopping bags containing their groceries to the car, “Your boss is sure not gonna go easy on you.”

“I don’t know, don’t even wanna think about it.” Korina said, She opened the boot and they put their stuff in it, she reached in and arranged some of the fruits that fell off before closing the boot, ” I told Mark to tell her that I am critically ill, which of course isn’t really a lie, depression is an ailment right? A very serious ailment.”

“Uhhmm… So when are you gonna resume?” Daniella asked, they were in the car now but weren’t ready to move yet.

“I don’t know really.” She answered rubbing her face with her palms, “Monday I guess.”

Korina looked outside the car window, ” Oh look, a pharmacy.” She pointed towards the opposite side of the street.

“I need to get some aspirin and pads.” She quickly unbuckled her seat belt and Daniella did the same.

She and Daniella both went to the shop to get it and soon enough they were back in the car.

“What do you need so much pads for?” Her cousin asked.

“I hate coming out so I stock up nicely to avoid stories.” Korina rolled her eyes at her.

“People stock up condoms and you are stocking up pads.” Daniella smirked, she knew she was about to annoy her.

“Menstration is not a choice but sex is and it isn’t one of my choices.” She gritted her teeth, “Pads are essential dumbass and do not make another attempt to piss me off, amma pull you out of this car and run you over.”

“Fine, fine.” She laughed at her cousin, “So we riding home now?”

“Yea.” Korina started the car and pulled out of the parking lot.

As they drove on Daniella got bored.

“Play some music, will you?” She suggested.

“Okay.” Korina brought out a cassette and inserted it into the car stereo, Michael Jackson’s ‘starting something’ began to blare through the speakers.

“Oh my God.” Daniella squealed over the noise, “My fav oldie.”

Korina smiled, “Every MJ’s oldie is your favourite, our favourite.” They both really loved Michael Jackson.

As they drove on, they felt the music with Korina moving her body as she steered the car and Daniella dancing swinging her arms, hitting the car roof.

She mimicked the lyrics and Korina thought the only word she got right was ‘oww’.

They both sang out loud, swaying their bodies to the the music as the ride continued.

They were seemingly happy at the moment, both girls forgetting the sad realities of their lives.
