Stalked by the Mafia Boss

“Since Anne is a model and she’s very familiar with the make up and fashion industry, she would handle your make up and clothes.” Daniella rubbed her chin thoughtfully, making her suggestion to Anne and Korina.

“That’s a good idea.” Anne agreed, Korina wasn’t really paying attention, she was busy towel drying her hair.

“So, what you gonna do?” Anne asked Daniella.

“Oh me?” She asked pointing to herself, “I am just gonna sit over there and video call my man.

” what the…” Anne didn’t even finish as she saw that Daniella had skipped over to the chair and pulled out her phone.

“Where is Daniella?” Korina asked gaining Anne’s attention.

“Oh, she’s over there, video calling her man.” Anne answered as she laid down the make up stuff on the dressing table, “Please sit, we don’t have much time on our hands.” Korina took the seat closing her eyes, she faced the mirror excited by what Anne was gonna do to her face.

“I am done.” Anne announced, “You can open your eyes.”

“Let me see! Let me see!” Daniella sprang up from the sofa on hearing Anne’s voice, she rushed to where they were.

“Oh my God.” Korina was wowed as she gazed at her reflection.

“You look amazing.” Daniella said to korina, “You did a great job Anne.”

“I know.” She grinned, “I am perfect at this.”

“It’s as if you didn’t touch my face but also as if you touched it, it’s so light, well blended and in fact looks magnificent.” Korina gushed, “I don’t even know what to say, how to describe it.”

“Oh shit, it’s 7:30.” Anne said, “He’s gonna come pick her up by 8.”

“And your hair isn’t done yet.” Daniella groaned.

“You handle the hair.” Anne spoke to Daniella, “I am gonna go powder my nose.” She said rushing towards the toilet.

Daniella unraveled the towel that held Korina’s hair, “Why don’t we braid your dreads?” She asked.

“Yea, I think that would be great.” Korina agreed nodding, “Besides I haven’t gone with a braided style in months and I think it would most definitely suit the evening.”

“Let’s get to it then.” Daniella said proceeding to part the dreads in sections before she started the weaving.

“That’s five places.” Korina said counting the braids, “Aren’t they a little too big?” She asked.

“Nope, it’s perfect.” Daniella replied, “Now hold still while I style your baby hairs.” She was holding a gel tube and a brush.

Korina stood up immediately Daniella was done. She walked over to the closet and found Anne sitting on the bed, she had already helped in laying out her outfit.

“What do you think of my hair Anne?” Korina asked Anne and she pulled her eyes away from her phone screen, “It looks great.” She smiled.

“I know right!” Daniella said cockily, “I am a genius at this.”

“Oh please.” The girls hushed her.

“Why do you have a jean and a t shirt laid out for her to wear?” Daniella frowned.

“Cole said, ” dress casually” like you are going out on a normal day.” Korina said and that answered Daniella’s question.

“That’s why I brought out jeans and a t shirt.” Anne dropped her phone rising from the bed, “Now lets dress you up, you have less than 10 minutes.”

Korina stared at her reflection in the full length mirror, she was wearing a white t shirt, blue jean pants and white sneakers. She had on no jewellery, just a wristwatch on her left wrist.

“Here, have this.” Anne said throwing her a coat, “you may need it, It might rain tonight.”

“Why isn’t he here yet?” Daniella huffed just then a knock was heard on the door.

“Oh, that might be him.” Korina said.

“I will get it.” Anne said rushing towards the door.

“Hi.” She said as she opened the door a little, “I think it’s him.” She turned back to whisper to her friends.

Korina immediately grabbed her purse and wore her coat.

“Hey.” Cole greeted, he wasn’t expecting to meet a tall Asian girl at the door, “Is Korina in? I am here to see her.”

“Yes, she is.” Anne smiled stretching out her hand, “You must be Cole I have heard so much about you.”

Cole too her hand, “And you are?” He asked feeling slightly embarrassed.

“I am Anne.”

“Hey Cole.” Daniella said interrupting them.

“Hey Daniella, nice to meet you again.” He smiled as they shook hands.

“Uhhmmm…. uhmmm.” They all turned to see Korina standing there looking at them.

“Uhmm…” Cole assessed her, “You look beautiful and ravishing.” He complemented running his eyes through her length.

“Nuh… uh.. nah.” Anne said standing between them with her hands up, “No one is ravishing anyone on this date.”

They all laughed at Anne’s statement.

“You don’t look bad yourself.” Korina said, she also appraised his looks. He wore a simple T shirt and some jeans with boots, his coat was held in the crook of his arm.

“Shall we?” He said extending his hand out.

“Yes.” She took his hand and they walked to the door with Daniella and Anne following behind them, giggling.

“Wait!” Korina said suddenly remembering something, she faced her cousin and dragged her back into the apartment.

“What if this goes wrong?” She asked Daniella in a whisper.

“It won’t.” Daniella rolled her eyes.

“Don’t you think it’s strange I haven’t received any texts from my stalker?”

“Missing him?” She teased, “Come on, you seriously couldn’t possibly be worrying about that now.”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“What if I fart?”

“For fucks sake K babes, you won’t.” Daniella assured her, “Now stop with your silly questions, go out and enjoy the hell out of yourself.”

“I am ready.” Korina said stepping out of the apartment.

“Okay.” Cole nodded stretching out a hand, she took it interwining her fingers with his loosely.

Holding hands on a first date, she took a deep breath.

They said their goodbyes and made way for the elevator.

“Enjoy yourselves.” Daniella and Anne screamed after them as they walked down the lonely hallway.

“Use protection!” Daniella screamed.

“You are truly unbelievable.” Anne shook her head at Daniella and got back into the apartment.

“What did I do now?” She huffed following her.

Cole and Korina were about to get into the elevator now.

“Your friends are funny.” Cole remarked.

“Yes, they are.” Korina said throwing a light laugh.

They had heard their screams and it was a little embarrassing for Korina.

They both stepped into the elevator, they weren’t holding hands anymore.

“Where are we going Cole?”

“Why not wait and find out.” He smirked at her.
