Chapter 53: Fifty Two: Johnny (2)

Navaya stood by the wall when Johnny left, her hands balled into hard fists as she glared at his retreating figure. Her nostrils flared as she let out a puff of heated breath.

She then quickly reapplied her lipstick that Johnny ruin with his animalistic kiss and fixed her hair.

' How could he do that to me? Is he mad? What if Becca came and saw us kissing? How would he possibly bail me out of it?'

Angry questions rampaged Navaya's mind as she dragged her feet back to the table.

Once she got there and saw Johnny already seated, her eyes hardened in anger. She walked over to where Becca sat and touched her lightly on the shoulder.

" I think we have already spent enough time here, we still have work to do back at Atlas," Navaya said to Becca, deliberately ignoring how Johnny's eyes were on her, fucking drilling holes through her skin with his hot gaze.

Becca nodded and checked the time on her phone. She gasped when she saw what the time was and quickly stood up from her seat. She had gotten so carried away with talking to her brother that she lost track of the time and even forgot that she still had work to do.

Becca grabbed her purse and turned to Johnny. Luckily when she looked at him, he wasn't staring at Navaya anymore but now looking at his wallet.

Johnny thinned his lips to prevent himself from laughing, he was aware of what Navaya wanted to do. She was urging Becca for them to go back to work so she could get far away from him and it was freaking amusing.

It was now evident why Leo and Johnny were friends. Just like Leo, Johnny lived for the chase. He liked it when his woman tried to run, when she thought she could run and get away from him so easily. Navaya playing hard to get was very entertaining.

It was thrilling.

" Johnny, can you drive us back to Atlas?" Becca asked, dragging Johnny out of his thoughts and he blinked once before nodding, not missing the funny horrid look that flashed through Navaya's face. It was so cute.

She would now have to relive the entire torture she experienced on the ride to the restaurant all over again.

" Of course, I would love to." He stood up as well. " Let's go." He gestured Becca to walk ahead, intentionally walking slowly until Navaya was a little in front of him then placed his hand on her back, making her stop in her tracks.

Navaya tensed up when she felt Johnny's big hand on her back and whipped her head over to him only to see a cheeky smile on his face.

A frown instantly darkened her face as she pushed his hand away but instead of letting go, he went ahead and wrapped his naughty hand around her waist. Hugging her closer to him in the process.

'That bastard!' Navaya screamed in her head and tried to push him away from her but the guy was just too strong for her.

" Let go of me," Navaya grumbled in a low tone so only Johnny would hear.

" No." He replied instantly in a whisper and tightened his grip on Navaya's waist, making her eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

" What's your problem? Leave me alone, I already made myself clear five years ago. I don't want any of this, especially not with you." She shot him vicious glares but he didn't even look affected by them.

He grazed her face with the back of his hand and tucked the single braid that fell on her face behind her ear. He brought his face closer to hers, his lips next to her ear.

" And you think your words would be enough to stop me from wanting you? Just because I let you make a decision concerning our relationship in the past doesn't mean I'm ready to let you abandon what we shared." Johnny whispered in Navaya's ear, his hand moving on her hips, making her heartbeat ten times faster than it usually did.

" Shut up, we didn't share anything." Navaya denied and instantly looked down, not having the courage to look into his eyes anymore.

" Tell that to the many nights you spent in my bed." Johnny noticed the change in her facial expression, her eyes darting from one spot on the floor to another. " What's with that look on your face? I did warn you that once it's in, you will become mine. Now I'm here to take back what's belongs to me." 

Navaya shivered on hearing Johnny's declaration and she instantly looked at him. Her lips trembled as she tried to think of what to say but couldn't come up with anything.

She knew what he was talking about, it was a memory she would never forget in her life. Even if she tried to forget what happened, it wouldn't go away. The memory that kept following her around like a shadow. He did warn her, he told her clearly what would happen afterward but she didn't take it seriously. Feeling her mind too hazy from all the pleasure he gave her, she agreed without thinking.

She agreed to be his woman and back out of it later.

But in her defense, she wasn't ready for a serious relationship then. All she wanted to do was have fun and sleeping with Johnny was a lot of fun even though Johnny wasn't on the same page with her. She was very special to him and he wanted something way deeper with her than occasional hookups. Johnny wanted to make her his, to keep her by his side forever but when he told Navaya about the deep passionate love he had for her, she panicked, freaked out even, and backed out immediately. Saying that she wasn't ready, that it was all new to her and Johnny listened to her.

He fucking agreed with her.

He was the first man she had ever been with and he tried to be considerate with her. She was just eighteen at the time and he knew the way things were moving between them scared her so he let things play as slow as she wanted.

After that, they stopped sleeping with each other and she went off to college. Johnny thought that if Navaya got some time to herself and when things between them stop feeling weird to her, she would finally accept she was his. But you could just imagine how angry he was when he found out Navaya went ahead and got herself a boyfriend. A fucking boy toy.

Imagine the frustration he felt when the only woman he had ever loved told him that she didn't want to be with him and that everything that happened between them meant nothing to her.

It was both hurtful and enraging that he felt like strangling her and shooting Ace. They both wronged him and he would never forget it. Even after all these years, he still chose to keep his mouth shut about their past entanglement. He knew Navaya didn't want Becca to find out about how she used to sleep with him so he granted her that one favor.

Looking at her standing next to him after so many years, Johnny felt the strong urge to take her far away with him. Kidnap her, not caring if she screamed her lungs out. If he had only listened to his instincts and done that years ago, then things wouldn't have ended the way they did. He was too lenient with her before, he gave her the freedom to do whatever she wanted with their relationship, and what did it give him? Where did being considerate lead him?

Heartbreak, that was all it gave him. It left him broken but not anymore, now he wouldn't be stupid to make the same mistake. 

He knew the kind of woman Navaya was, he had already mastered all her tricks and wasn't going to fall victim to them anymore. This time she had nowhere to run, she would be stuck with him no matter what stunt she pulled next.

" You are delusional." Navaya managed to say after ransacking her brain for a proper comeback but only ended up making Johnny chuckle.

" Am I?" Johnny asked and kissed her temples. " Let's go back to the car, we shouldn't keep Becca waiting or she might suspect something, don't you think?" Johnny teased and intentionally loosened his grip on Navaya's waist so she would think she easily broke free. 

As expected of Navaya, she felt Johnny's hand around her waist loosen and instantly snatched the opportunity to break free from it. And with a smirk on Johnny's face, he slipped his hands into the pockets of his suit trousers and walked behind Navaya as he watched her pathetic attempts to run far away from him.

Johnny got into his car and drove them back to Atlas where he hugged his sister goodbye and smirked at Navaya, not forgetting to wink at her before leaving. Completely rendering her speechless.

Once Johnny's car sped away and disappeared, Becca turned to Navaya with questioning eyes.

" What's going on between you and my brother?" Becca asked and folded her arms over her chest.

Though Becca didn't see them kissing or witness how Johnny touched Navaya, she still felt like something was wrong. There was this cloud of tension between them that was too strong to ignore or even not to notice and now she wanted to know what was going on.

Navaya's eyes bulged out and her palms instantly became sweaty as Becca's eyes fixed on her like hot lasers.

" The fuck?! What are you even talking about?" Navaya decided it was better to play it off cool, being tensed would only expose her even more so she tried her best to calm down her nerves.

" I don't know, Navaya. When we were at the restaurant, I just felt like something was going on that I wasn't aware of. So tell me, is there anything going on between you and Johnny? Did something happen?" Becca stared straight into Navaya's eyes, making her tremble slightly in the process.

To protect her secret, Navaya had to lie to her best friend and though it was extremely difficult, it just had to be done. It was for the greater good. The thing that happened between her and Johnny was a mistake, one that she had learned from and wouldn't repeat ever again, so what was the need of discussing it now.

" Eww, God, no! Nothing happened between me and Johnny. Becca, he is like a brother to me, and don't see him that way." Navaya lied and felt a prickling pain in her chest. The only times Navaya ever lied to Becca were when she was desperate to cover up her secret entanglement with Johnny. His case always made her lie to Becca and Navaya was getting tired. Even she didn't want to keep telling lies to Becca but had no other choice, she just had to.

" You sure?" Becca wanted to confirm, not that she didn't completely trust Navaya but part of her still wanted to be reassured.

" Yes, I'm sure. Absolutely nothing is happening between me and Johnny. Now let's go inside and get back to work." Navaya grabbed Becca's hand and pulled her towards the entrance of their company, silently heaving a sigh of relief that Becca didn't keep asking more questions.

They both headed to Becca's private elevator and once the doors closed, this time it was Navaya who turned to Becca with questioning eyes.

" So did you tell Johnny about your relationship with Leo?" Navaya asked and Becca shot her a look before quickly shaking her head.

" Hell no! With how overprotective Johnny can be of me, if I come out and tell him about Leo's caveman intentions to claim, he might end up murdering him." Becca couldn't even imagine how Johnny would react if he found out about all the advances Leo had made on her, how he kissed her when she was intoxicated. 

There were countless ways he would react but one thing was for sure and it was he wouldn't like it.

" Oh please, stop exaggerating. I know how much of a protective mother hen Johnny can be but murdering his own friend? Isn't that way too extreme?" Navaya laughed, thinking Becca was just being silly and overreacting. But Becca shook her head, not a hint of humor on her face.

" You don't know Johnny the way I do, Navaya." The doors of the elevator opened and they stepped out. 

Becca looked both ways of the hallway to check if anyone was coming and luckily no one was. She moved closer to Navaya to whisper something into her ear. " You see the thing is... Johnny is a mafia." Becca whispered, causing Navaya's eyes to bulge out in shock.

" Johnny is in the mafia? How? Since when?" Navaya asked franticly. She used the normal tone of her voice, forgetting that they were supposed to be whispering.

" Keep your voice down, someone might hear you." Becca hushed her immediately. " I don't know when it happened or how it did, but all I know is Johnny isn't how he used to be before.. He has done horrible things, killed people even and I don't want Leo to be on his hit list."
