Chapter 20

They cleaned until was dark, Shola stop them. She knows they already tired."Thank you for your help," she said.

"It's nothing, were happy to help you, miss Shola. We know that you're special to sir Alexis," the man said.

Shola smile."When we finished here, I will treat you outside."

"Sure, we remember that, miss Shola. We're going first."

Shola and Alexis nodded to them.

Enrique approached Shola."Let's have a dinner tonight, Shola?" he invited. In his mind, he would not let the police get ahead of him.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but Shola and I have dinner," Alexis said, lest the bride suddenly agree to his invitation. She looked at him and smiled.

Enrique clenched his fist, due to Alexis' interruption. Is that t so? Okay maybe next time, Shola. I hope you don't ignore me."

Shola smiled at the young man. Of course."

"Great, so I'm going home." He left with a smile on his face.

Alexis frowned. How could the bride be smiling at Enrique? "Your smile is so sweet to him." He's jealous.

Shola hugged Alexis. Just a smile of gratitude for helping us, eh?"

Alexis smiled. Just hug the bride, and she's okay. Let's go."

"Alexis, let's meet at our restaurant; won't you go home to take a shower?" He smelled it still fragrant, even though it was drenched in sweat. "You stink," he said. 

Alexis smelled her armpit. Hmmm, not really, ah."

Shola smiled. "Yes, but you still have to change your clothes." He stroked her back. "Oh, look, you can wring out your wet clothes."

"Yes, you too."

"Oppo, so what are you waiting for? Go ahead and leave."

"Alright then, be careful here; you're alone; the grumpy Governador might come back."

He wants it just in case because he won't have a hard time finding it. "I can do it myself," he said, showing the knife that he returned to him.

Alexis looked at the knife. She wanted to ask a lot, but she would wait for Shola to tell her everything.

Shola wore a simple flowered dress that went past the knee, and she finished it off with flat sandals. She doesn't know how to shape herself, but what she sees in herself makes her beautiful. In the tribe, they always wear a long skirt and have pants that reach their knees when they climb the tree of their brother Abet. The skirt is tied around the waist to make it easier for him to climb the trees. But now he is very different; the Monticello blood can be seen in him.

Alexis went to the restaurant first; they were just waiting for Shola. That also came immediately.

"Brother, Sister Shola."

Alexis immediately stood up to go to the girl. "Shola," Alexis called to the girl because she was looking at where they were.

Shola smiled when she saw Alexis.

"Mom and Amber are there." They went to the mother and brother.

"Sister, Shola, wow, you're really beautiful; I bet you're better than Erica; do you know her?" Here's Amber's babbling again.

"Erica, who is he?" Shola asked as she sat down.

Alexis immediately sat next to her brother and kicked Amber's foot under the mat. He gave her a silly smile.

"That's artistic, Erica Morale, Ate Shola," he said.

"Moral...?" he said, looking at Alexis.

"Yup, Sister."

"You know her, Shola. Remember that girl we saw at the hotel? She's Erica Morale." He didn't say that he danced at the masquerade ball.

"Is that the one you danced with at the party at their house?" It was too late for Shola to realize what was being said.

Alexis frowned as she looked at the girl. He patted her palm.

"Aren't you Lady Red?"

"No," he refused, after all, he didn't see her face even though they danced and their feelings were somewhat understood that night.

"Shola, how do you know that he is my dance partner if you are not there?"

"Ale..." He was interrupted when someone spoke behind them.

"Captain Alexis, did I tell you, eh?" the governor suddenly spoke.

"Governor?" Alexis and her mother and brother stood up as a sign of respect, but Shola just sat.

"I have a dinner with my friends here; when I saw you, of course I knew you, so I came over. Am I not disturbing you?"

"Not at all, Governor. We just arrived."

"I see, okay, I'll leave you guys so you can order your food. Miss Padilla, you're quiet, aren't you?" it turns to the girl.

"I have nothing to say to you, Governador!" His attitude is serious.

"Okay, I'll leave you guys," he said, smiling at Shola. It chased after "See you!" looking at Shola.

Shola got what he meant:Yes, we will meet later, but in the end, you and the mayor will be together in the pit!" in Shola's mind.

They had fun partying tonight; they are like true family.

But while they were eating, the corner of Shola's eye was looking at the governor. He was with a woman, and he could clearly see her hand caressing the thigh of the woman next to him. The woman forced his hand away. But it still continues.

"Alright, give it your last touch; it's only right that someone like you has disappeared from this world!"

After they finished eating, Alexis' mother and sister said their goodbyes.

"Sister Shola, you will take care of Kuya."

"Yes, of course, Amber."

"Shola, Alexis, let's go ahead of you; I need to rest early; you know the old ones."

"Alright," he said, ashamed to call her mama, even though he said that's what he would call her here.

Without Alexis' sister and mother, So, where are we now, Shola?" he asked the bride.

"You, go home, because you have work tomorrow, don't you? I also need to rest; I was tired earlier," he alluded.

"I don't want to, eh."

"Huh why?"

"Because I still want to be with you, my love." Alexis took her hand and kissed it.

"Huh? Why there?"

"Huh? Where do you want?" Alexis pretended, but there was a mischievous smile on her lips.

Shola lifted her palm, and it landed on Alexis' cheek and lips. This is what I want!"

Alexis looked around. Shola, there are people."

"You do not want?"

"Did I say something I don't want?" he said with a smile.

"Now?"

Alexis held her face and planted a sweet kiss on the bride's lips. Shola closes her eyes automatically. She loves Alexis' kiss because it brings a tickle to her body.

The governor grimaced at what he saw. Bitch, that gag will come first, ah!"

"Now, you can go home, Alexis." Shola smiles so brightly.

"I'll take you first."

"Alright, let's go."

The governor's eyes followed the two. He was very jealous of Alexis.

When they were in front of the Monticello gate,

"Shola, please stay at the hotel; don't stay here; be alone, eh?" There was concern in Alexis' voice.

"Don't worry about me, Alexis. Nothing bad will happen to me here."

"But, Shola. Even if you're a girl."

"Alexis. Yes, I'm a woman, but I can take care of myself."

Alexis sighed deeply; she was not really convinced by Shola's teaching. "I'll just go with you here."

"Don't stop, Alexis. Go home, then you won't have anything for your work tomorrow."

Shola is right, but she can go home early if she strongly does not want to accompany him. He just nodded, then went downstairs to open the door for the girl.

At that moment, there were pairs of eyes looking at them.

"Alright, good night to you, Alexis."

"Good night, isn't there...?" he snorted.

"What is that?" Shola also snorted.

Suddenly, Alexis touched her lips to the young woman's nose. What a trick!" said Shola.

"Is this it?" Alexis grabbed Shola's waist and immediately captured her lips. 

They kissed until their breath didn't run out; their thirsty lips would not have parted if they hadn't both run out of air.

Shola really likes it when Alexis kisses her. Because it feels good to him and it gives a unique tension to his body. As if he wanted something more than the kiss they shared.

"I love you very much, Shola. Remember that I will do anything for you."

Shola hugged the young man, feeling his true love for her. "Alright, go home."

Alexis did nothing but leave the girl. Come in before I leave."

Shola went inside as soon as she closed the gate, and Alexis left.

Shola spent some time first. Then he put on the mask. And he felt someone around.

The person who was watching earlier came out of his hiding place when he saw that Alexis' car was far away. It approached the gate.

Shola hid in a slightly dark part of the wall.

The person outside the gate entered. Shola heard his footsteps. Shola took the knife from his thigh. Alexis didn't want to give it to him, but when he said it was self-defense, he gave it to him too. But the young man's eyes had a question that he wouldn't answer, even if the young man asked him.

He walked lightly into the yard.

When it was close to Shola."Who are you?"

The man was surprised and immediately pulled out a gun, but Shola's actions changed quickly, and in an instant he was behind the man. And focused the sharp on its neck.

At that time, the governor really got a taste of Shola. Because he knew that she lived in the Monticello mansion, he targeted the girl.

Alexis is uneasy because he thinks Shola is alone in the Monticello mansion, so he turns the car to go back to the girl to join her.
