“Mimi!” Victor called after her but she wouldn’t look back or even slow down because she was pissed off.
She strode along the way, murmuring and fuming inwardly. Weak! Fragile! That was probably what he thought of her! Who said she couldn’t take care of herself? Victor hadn’t even been there all through her life and yet she survived without him. What makes him think she wouldn’t now just because he moved into the picture?
“Mimi!” Victor caught up to her and grabbed her by the arm, turning her to him.
“Let go of me!” She struggled with him but he wouldn’t let her go. It was a desperate fight that she didn’t see herself winning anytime soon if he didn’t let go of her; she would only get hurt.
“Fine, I’m sorry!” He screamed at her face, face distorted with emotions and she finally stilled, her heart thumping loudly in her chest.
There was a tense silence between them until Mimi ripped her arm free and then looked up at him. The anger was still there, but it had subsided a bit and she was able to reason properly.
“I’m sorry, Mimi, I shouldn’t have said those words there -”
“Yeah, you shouldn’t.” Mimi interrupted him firmly, “Just because we are dating doesn’t mean you get to make the decisions in my life. I knew what I was getting myself into when I agreed to that plan. And honestly, I considered your feelings when I agreed to it, however, those were desperate times and they required desperate measures. We couldn’t just sit still and do nothing when the window of opportunity was staring right in our faces. ”
Mimi took a deep breath, lowering her head to the ground before lifting them again, staring him straight in the eyes. She licked her lower lips and went on,
.....
“I knew you were going to be mad, no, you deserved to be mad,” She threw her hands up,” I would be if I were in your shoes. However, what I couldn’t take is you belittling me. Surely, you don’t think I’m this fragile barbie doll that needs to be protected from the world, and don’t give me that myopic and toxic femininity shit. Arianna did it, why couldn’t I? Or surely, you don’t believe in my ability?” There was hurt in her tone when she asked him that.
“Of course, not!” Victor was quick to answer her. He stepped closer, cupping her cheek, and lifted her face to meet him and Mimi let him.
“God! You’re a crazy – in a good way – strong and amazing woman and I don’t for one moment doubt your ability, Mimi. You seriously don’t think I’ve forgotten about the purple-haired witch that kidnapped a gang member all by herself,” He reminded her of when she went on her one-woman mission of taking out Big Joe’s gang member all by herself.
Yep, and almost got herself killed had he not come to her rescue on time. Okay, maybe, she does do stupid things sometimes.
However, that incident brought a smile to her lips because she was reminded of how insanely hot Victor looked and the fact that was the day she finally fell for him.
Honestly, Victor was not the type of man she went for, he was too clingy and sometimes she could swear that there were a few screws loose in his head. He laughed at the oddest of things and was too spontaneous.
Unfortunately, he had rubbed off on her and though this relationship wasn’t supposed to be long-term, he has not given her a reason to break it off yet. Not to mention the sex was to die for. And speaking of sex... alright lady, push that matter to the back of your mind at the moment.
“I’m sorry if I had unintentionally hurt your feelings in the process of trying to protect you,” He apologized with his low, rich, and timbre voice that almost made her want to melt from the inside. How could someone be so cute? He was so adorable. If only Victor knew that Mimi had already imagined him having cat ears and was tempted to run her hand over it – in her imagination.
“You just don’t know how scared I became when I realized late that Daniel hadn’t left and like a fool, I let you in, sending you into the lion’s den. Had it not been for Marcel, I would have torn down those walls and got you out of there.”
“Then you would have put yourself in danger.” Mimi gave him a little frown, caressing his face and brushing away the hair from his forehead, “I heard Daniel is not a forgiving man, you couldn’t be as stupid as to put yourself in obvious danger.” She chided him.
But Victor wasn’t listening, instead, he lowered his head and his lips traveled to her neck and kissed her skin, her breath hitching in her throat.
“Are you even listening to what I’m saying?” Mimi breathed through her mouth, butterflies fluttering in her belly with the kisses he rained on her neck.
“Mmmm,” Victor hummed against her skin, the aroused sound sending jolts of pressure to her core that made her pussy clench and she rubbed her thighs together.
Victor then parted to answer her, “I heard you right, but you should know that I would go even into the deepest hell to rescue your sexy ass, ” He punctuated his words by grabbing her ass cheeks and squeezed so tight she moaned.
Mimi stared at him, open-mouthed at his boldness. Well, Victor had always been cheeky in the first place and that was why the both of them clicked well. She needed a partner as bad as her.
Victor’s hands went to pull on the company’s shirt and she closed her hands over his, stopping him and he looked at her questioning.
“We are outside,” Mimi reminded him even though there was no one in sight.
“So what?”
“What?”
“There’s nobody around,” Victor said, but Mimi knew this place. Even if there was nobody in sight, there were always eyes watching.
However, Victor cocked her eyes to the side, grinning as he asked, “Have you ever had sex in the open?”
