Stalked by the Mafia Boss

“Nice to see that this Cole boy is treating you well.” Aunt Dido said as she put the shovel into the dirt, “Daniella could you please help me get the tomatoes, I wanna transplant them.”

“Okay mum.” Daniella said walking away.

“He makes me really happy.” Korina said agreeing with her aunt, “I was skeptical at first but now I see he really has good intentions.”

Aunt Dido smiled at her niece, “Make the dirt in the pots leveled.” She told Korina who was filling the flower pots with soil.

They were in Aunt Dido’s garden. The lady had decided to start a little green house converting a section of her backyard for the garden. She was gonna plant flowers, vegetables, fruits and anything she could lay her hands on and she got the girls to help her.

“So when will I be meeting this boy friend of yours?”

“I don’t wanna freak him out Aunt.” Korina shrugged, “It’s a bit too early for that.”

“What do you mean by a bit too early?” Daniella rolled her eyes, “She was back now, she handed over the transplant seedlings to her mum, ” You met his aunt way before you even got together and you weren’t entirely freaked out, were you?”

“I was a little bit at first, it seemed to make things look a bit too forward but then I got used to it and was comfortable with her.” Korina explained.

“You got comfortable with her, then he has to get comfortable with mum.” Daniella said, “Ain’t that right mum?”

“Yea, yeah.” Aunt Dido agreed nodding absent mindedly paying more attention to her plants.

“Aunt, Dan.” Korina stood up aright, “Men are entirely different, he mightn’t react the way I did.”

“Okay dear, whatever you say.” Aunt Dido said, “Just bring him over whenever you think it’s right.”

“And also use protection when you fuck.”

“Daniella!” Korina screeched and turned to her eying her.

Aunt Dido reached out and smacked her hard on the back.

“What did I do wrong mum?” She whined rubbing her back while Korina laughed at her.

Aunt Dido shook her head, “Silly child.”

Korina huffed in annoyance as she watched the news.

“Boring.” She yawned, same old news, crisis all over the world, the world power being selfish as ever. She turned off the TV with a hiss and picked up her phone.

I really need to meet more people, She thought as she scrolled through her contacts, she had just five contacts. She shook her head pitifully and switched to YouTube, looking for funny videos to watch. She fell asleep later on the couch, the video of the Cosby show’s episode playing on with no eyes on it.

Korina knocked on the door for the second time waiting for a reply, she hadn’t told Cole she was coming, she wanted to surprise him.

She looked around, the hospital looked exceptionally rowdy today, a lot of workers, a lot of patients. She took a peak at the ice cream packed in the bag she held, she knew it had begun to melt.

After a long wait, the door was finally opened, she smiled at Cole but it faded quickly noticing his appearance. There he was breathing heavily, sweat trickled down his forehead, he had a ruffled look, his appearance looked like he just ran a marathon.

Or just had sex, She shut her mind at the thought.

“Hey babe.” Korina greeted with raised brows, “Are you okay?”

“Hey, love.” He said glancing backwards into the office, “You never told me you were coming.” His words were rushed.

“Yea, I wanted to surprise you.” Korina replied, “Wouldn’t you let me in?” She asked craning her neck trying to see inside the office through him.

“Oh that, sorry.” He apologised scratching the back of his neck, “Come right in.”

She got in and accessed the office, it looked neat and all but had a faint odd smell and then she noticed the scattered table and case notes on the floor as if they got pushed from the table in one swift forceful move.

“Is everything okay in here?” She turned to face him finding it hard to read his facial expression, “Are you okay Cole?”

“Yea Korina.” He said trying to avert her gaze, “I was just stressed from work and perplexed and…” He tried to explain but kept shut seeing it made no meaning.

“So… why are you sweating Cole?” Korina asked him under her scrutinizing gaze.

“See, there is heat, was heat.” He said loosening his tie a bit, “Wooh, heat Korina, heat!”

“Oh.” She shook her head, “But the Air Conditioner is on Cole.”

“Hmm!”

“The air conditioner is on.”

“I…”

“Good thing I brought some ice cream to cool down your heat.” She dumped the paper bag on the table glaring at him.

“What did I do?”

“You are hiding something, you are fucking hiding something from me.”

“No, I am not.” He raised his hands, “Never hidden anything, why now?”

“Whatever Cole.” She took a seat.

Cole rolled his eyes stood up and walked over to her, he took her face in his palms, leaned in and kissed her, Korina perceived an odd scent on him but ignored.

“I am sorry babe for making you think I am hiding things.” Korina just started at him blankly, “And for you meeting me in this state, I am just stressed with work.”

“Okay, if you say so.” She shrugged reaching out into the bag to take her own ice cream cup. Cole also took a chair and placed it in front of her, he got seated and took his own ice cream cup.

“Uggh, it started to melt already.” Korina complained putting some in her mouth.

“Mine too.” Cole looked into the cup, “Must have been cause of the time frame, we would just take it like that.” He said dipping in his spoon.

Cole’s hand was thrown around Korina’s shoulders. She giggled at something he said as they exited his office. They followed the hallways in a bid to exit the hospital, greeting cole’s fellow health workers as they walked.

“I am really glad I came to see you today.” Korina said hugging her boyfriend tightly, “Spending time with you today was amazing, we haven’t seen each other in weeks.”

“I know right babe.” Cole said, “I am just busy with work and all, that’s why can’t meet too often.”

Korina looked up at him.

“You understand right?” She nodded at him.

“I should get going.” Cold said looking at his watch, they were outside the building now, “I got patients to attend to.”

“Yea, you should.”

“I would put you in a taxi first and see you off.”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

He flagged down a taxi easily and got her in.

“So baby, if I am chanced I would drop by tomorrow and take you for lunch.” He said, he was holding her door open while she sat inside the car.

“That would be wonderful, you can come during my lunch break.”

“Yea, sure.” He nodded.

“Bye Cole.” She blew him a kiss.

“By babe.” He said locking the door, “Make sure to call me when you get home.” He screamed after the moving car hoping she heard him.
