Filed to story: Bring It On My Mafia Life Novel (Rhea & Lukas)
Rhea glanced up to see that it was no one else but Victor and frowned. Why was he always bothering her, hasn’t she made it clear she doesn’t like him anymore. And what was Lukas’s intention by sending him here aside to keep her from escaping? Or did he intentionally tag along to prove to her that Mimi liked him?
She didn’t reply to him at first, then said eventually, “She’s still mad,” As much as Rhea wanted to still hate him, she was tired of negative energy right now.
“That’s not surprising,” Victor replied and moved to sit beside her with her having opened up to him, “After I kidnapped her, she meted out the same treatment to me,”
“You deserved worse,” Rhea grumbled out. She still hasn’t gotten over the fact Victor kidnapped her best friend. Mimi should have tortured him more, not fucked with him.
Victor leaned closer to her to say, “You might not know this but Mimi and I were the best of buddies before that incident.”
Rhea looked at him like he grew two horns, “I find that hard to believe,”
“She really likes you, you know? She risked her life just to get you back when you were with the Red Giant. She did some things she wasn’t proud of -“
“Like what?” Rhea didn’t let him finish and had a serious expression as she was craving to know what her friend did to save her.
“It doesn’t matter anymore. Both of your lives changed after getting entangled with the likes of us,”
“I’m glad you know that,” her tone was harsh.
“And it will continue to change, however, one thing you should know, Rhea, is that the moment I was inside that woman, I knew she was my missing rib. She squeezed me so hard that I want to be in that cunt forever. She’s the right size for me, Rhea.” Victor was happy as he narrated his experience enthusiastically but that was not the same case for the woman beside him.
Upon his explicit narration, Rhea went red in the face and said immediately, “What a nice pep talk but you shouldn’t have said so much,” She couldn’t get the image out of her head now.
Why was the air suddenly hot?
“You know, If you want to see Mimi so badly, I can offer you a way out,” Victor said.
“Really?” Rhea’s eyes brightened at his offer.
“After that fight, she wouldn’t see me, so I broke into her room -“
“You did what?!” Rhea shouted, dumbfounded. Who does that?
However, in the next minute, an idea hit Rhea and she took off her cap, pulled out a pin from her hair, and kissed it, “I knew you would come in handy eventually,” And then, she turned and began to pick the lock.
“What are you doing?” Victor looked at her.
“What does it look like I’m doing?” she retorted, eyes fixed on the lock.
“Are you breaking into her house?”
“Of course, not!” She denied it, saying, “Unlike you, I’m a welcome guest in this house. So you can think of it as I lost my keys and can’t get -“
Rhea was still talking when the door suddenly opened and she fell in while Mimi in question looked at her with furrowed brows and her gaze dropped to the pin in her hand.
“Were you just planning on breaking into my house?”
Rhea gulped, but pointed to Victor instantly, “It was his idea,”
Friends With Benefit
Mimi wouldn’t let Victor in no matter how much he pleaded and Rhea was thankful for that because it gave them the privacy to have a conversation – that concerned him.
So he waited outside with the others knowing she wouldn’t be escape from here. They had it all surrounded while looking out for enemies and neighbors who wouldn’t mind poking their nose in their business.
“Tea or coffee?” Mimi asked, without looking at Rhea while heading in the direction of the kitchen.
The atmosphere between them was tense. Just because Mimi let her in, doesn’t mean they were good already. The fate of their relationship was still undecided.
“I think juice would be okay,” She replied.
“Fine, you can wait in my room, I’ll get it for you,” Mimi told her without thinking much since they always spent more time in her room than in the living room.
“Okay,” Rhea said and headed there.
It wasn’t until Mimi opened the fridge that she suddenly remembered something and her eyes widened at once.
Oh no.
…..
She took off immediately, hoping that Rhea had not seen it.
Meanwhile, Rhea walked straight into Mimi’s room. She knew the entire place like the back of her hand having spent most of her time here when she wasn’t working or in her uncle’s place. She usually had a lot of sleepovers here.
However, the first thing Rhea noticed upon coming in was how untidy the room was. Mimi was not exactly a clean freak but her room was usually not this messed up either. And that was when she saw it.
There was a dummy in the middle of the room with a poster of her face used on it. Wait a minute, was this dummy representing her? Had Mimi been practicing karate with her face?
“This is…” She raised her hand while walking towards the dummy only for Mimi to burst into the room and zoomed past her, snatching the poster off the dummy’s face.
“This is nothing,” Mimi waved it off, laughing awkwardly as she hid the poster behind her back.
But that was not all, the moment Rhea looked around, she discovered another of her poster pinned to the board by ten darts and she gulped.
For those darts to be stuck, Mimi must have used a lot of strength and they were thrown at accurate points – on both of her eyes, the top of her nose, her forehead, both sides of her cheeks, her upper and lower lips and her eyebrows. That was a lot of pent-up anger.
Still yet, that was not all.
In the huge picture of her and Mimi, her best friend used a marker to draw mustaches around her nose and beneath her lower lips, then a devil horn on both of her foreheads; she did look evil. And Mimi did the same to the smaller pictures around the room.
“Wow,” Rhea breathed, “No wonder you didn’t come for the past three days, you were quite busy,”
“No,” Mimi was quick to say, “This is nothing! I was just… eh…” She thought of an excuse to come up with that would fit the occasion.
“You don’t need to say anything, Mimi,” Rhea nodded in understanding, “You were mad at me and needed to blow off some steam and this is the best way to do so healthily. Moreover, I deserved all of it, after all, close friend or not, I had no right to call you a whore or decide who you are to be with. I just felt -“
“Played?” Mimi said.
