Chapter 49 Never Gonna Happen
AXEL
"The shipment is coming in barely 6 weeks," Prince pointed out from where he was sitting, "do you have everything under control?"
I glared at him, making sure my eyes conveyed what I really wanted to do to him; twist his neck and yank his head off his shoulders.
"I don't remember ever poking my nose in the affairs of C47," I replied curtly, hoping he'd get the gist and his nose out of this conversation but it seemed I was forgetting who I was talking to. Tell Prince not to do something and that was the thing he'd make sure to do.
"Well, C47 isn't directly your business but this shipment concerns all of us," he replied casually, "I hate to admit it but if it should flop, C47 would be affected badly."
"You're lucky you're my friend, if not, I'd have pulled out your tongue a long time ago."
"Save your love language for your soldiers please, I'm not interested in them."
"Bastard."
He lifted his glass in a mock cheer, "never denied it."
I poured from my third bottle of beer into the glass cup and I took a long sip, "whatever, just get the hell out of my house. I'm not even sure your house remembers what you look like." "Have you drunk already because you're starting to say gibberish things?"
"Nah, it's only the sight of you that's making me say gibberish things."
"Wow," he faked a bow, "I'm honored then, never knew you think so highly of my presence."
"Bastard!"
"You've said that before."
I chuckled slightly and he joined in too. It was late in the evening and it was one of those random evenings when we find ourselves in either of our houses, drinking by ourselves instead of getting some from some chics. That was rare and I knew mine was because Red was unavailable. I had texted her and asked her if she wanted to come over but she had replied that she wouldn't be able to make it and going to another girl was not even an option. I've not fucked another girl since I started sleeping with Red and I wasn't about to start now.
I wasn't so sure of Prince's reasons though.
"Why are you here by the way? Shouldn't you be busy fucking some chic's brains out or are girls finally coming to their senses and they've realized that you're not worthy of their cunts?"
He chuckled, "trust me, not fucking any chic right now is my choice and I'm not you, I can function without sex," he narrowed his eyes at me, "is that why you're fucking irritable tonight? Because you don't have a girl to fuck?"
"Shut up, Prince, I can go out there and fuck any girl I want to fuck."
"Except you only want to fuck one girl," his eyes leveled on mine and it bored holes into my body, "and she probably isn't available tonight."
I sat upright, the drink suddenly becoming lukewarm in my hand, "what are you talking about?"
He took a casual sip of his drink, his eyes not leaving mine, "Lisa Volkov."
"What about her?" I pushed my luck.
"Come on, Axel, let's not do that, we both know what I'm talking about."
"No, I don't and if you're talking about that one time you saw her leaving my house, I told you it was a spur of the moment sex, she's hot and attractive and there, my horniness was greater than the enmity between the two families at that moment."
"All the other ones after a day? They were spur of the moment sex too?"
"Other ones? What are you talking about?"
"Axel, I have access to the security panel of your house, Lisa has been in and out of your house even more than I have these past two weeks."
"I told you, we're walking on a school project together."
"A school project, Axel, not your house project. You really can't look at me and tell me the only reason that Volkov girls have been coming and going in and out of your house is because of a school project."
Bastard! Does he really have to be a fucking know-all?
"Yes, you're right."
"So, you've been fucking her?"
I groaned and shot him a glare, "I pretty much just said that."
"But why?" He asked, sounding genuinely curious, "why Lisa Volkov? I understand if it was once, that means it was the spur-of-the-moment sex and you couldn't help but having sex with her steadily, making her come into your house at every single opportunity, that's a fucking suicide mission, man."
"It's not like that, do you think I'd be blinded by a lust so much that I'd risk fucking her when I know she might be a problem?"
"So, you're telling me that she's in the clear? That she'll come into this house without sniffing around? Especially with the huge shipment coming in? Her family wants it, they want it more than any other mafia family and you're busy frolicking around with their girl? And it's not just their girl, it's their fucking assassin.-
Has it ever occurred to you that she might be planted? We know how tricky the Volkovs are, we both know they go to any length to get whatever they want..."
"Prince," I seethed, "be careful with your next words."
"This is not the time to play alpha male or Don shit, this is real life, I'm just worried about you, you've never been the one to think with your dick and this is not the time for you to start." "Prince, what you're worried about won't happen."
"And how're you so sure about that?" He challenged me and I exhaled.
"Lisa isn't like that and she just... she doesn't even know that much about the mafia, she just kills on instructions."
"And how do you know this?"
"She told me of course."
"And you believe her?"
"She has no reason to lie to me."
"She has every reason to lie to you, she's the daughter of an enemy that wants what we have so think about it again, Axel, does she really not have any reason to lie to you?"
There was really nothing to think about. I know Lisa, I've seen the sincerity in her eyes when she told me about her weakness, I've seen the vulnerability in them. I was sure she wasn't up to anything but that doesn't mean Prince wasn't remotely right.
I should have put an end to whatever was happening between us before it was too late.
"I have it all under control, Prince, there won't be a problem."
He didn't say anything for a while, he just regarded me with those scrutinizing eyes before he spoke up, "you're not in love with her, right?"
"Of course not," my reply was instantaneous, "that's not possible and it can't even happen. It's just sex, just physical intimacy, I'm badly attracted to her and I want to fuck her out of my system. There's no way in hell I'd fall in love with Lisa."
"I hope it remains that way because I really can't deal with some Romeo and Juliet shit."
He tossed his drink into his mouth and I snickered.
"You don't have anything to worry about, that's never going to happen."
I said it with the conviction I felt. I was badly attracted to Lisa that even the thought of her makes me horny in the direst situation but that was all there is to what I felt about her, lust, sex, and fucking. Nothing more, nothing less.
I might not be sure of most things in this life but if there was one thing that I was sure of, it's that I'd never fall in love with Lisa Volkov.
