where we keep the light we’re given | chapter 5

Naratrish + Team Bucciarati ensemble, multi-chapter (ongoing). T.

After Diavolo’s defeat, Gold Experience Requiem resurrects Bucciarati, Abbacchio, and Narancia. In the aftermath, Trish drifts away from the others and becomes a pop singer. Five years later, she hires Narancia to be her bodyguard on her final tour of Europe. They heal and learn and fall in love. Eventually.

This chapter is 15k. It is about breathing. 

Narancia has forgotten what time they’re supposed to be flying to this city in Iceland whose name he can’t pronounce, but he knows that it’s early. He can’t remember the last time he was on a plane. That thing in Perugia for Giorno, maybe, a couple years back. The villages and roads of his country had looked so tiny from up there, so carefully outlined, the swaths of tree-dotted land all brown and golden from the drought. He’d fallen asleep with his temple against the window, lulled by the dim vibrations of the turbines.

But that had been a short trip—this one’s nearly three hours, and the only passengers will be him, the manager, and Trish. For most of it, they’ll be flying over the Atlantic; the distance is around 1890 kilometers, give or take. That’s only a little farther than Napule is from Paris, and more than double the trip from Napule to Milano.

These are the facts that Narancia has been repeating in his head to distract himself from the fact that he’ll be confined to a private aircraft with Trish, who hasn’t shown her face since she’d left him in an alleyway the night before, for three hours. Trish, who had said the word mistake so fast that she’d almost swallowed the vowels, like all she’d wanted to do was get it over with.

Trish, who had gone five years without calling him and then kissed him like she owns him.

Read on AO3.

I know your askbox is closed but I know if I didn’t ask now I would forgot. I’m curious how the Bucci gang would handle having a significant other that loves to sings but when they take her with the rest of their team for karaoke night she won’t sing cause she’s scared and in a split decision moment they go up there to do a duet with he whether they could sing or not. I was really curious of who could sing, who sounds like a goat, and what kind of song they’d choose.

Hi! I consider those as personal opinions, so it’s fine to ask for it even if askbox is closed :3 And I decided to put in just Italian songs! Ok so! Let’s see...

Among the group, Fugo is the one who sings better. He has a nice voice, he had studied diction, among other things, and a bit of singing, all to be more loosen when he will harangue in tribunal. His parents had already planned everything for him and, even if he took a totally different way, some teachings are still with him. He’s a great lover of Italian music, especially Fabrizio De André. If his s/o knows some De André songs, he’d love to sing with her Volta la carta, his favourite song, and together they’d make a fantastic duet! 

The second place goes to Narancia! He’s self-taught, he learned singing and singing more times his favourite songs, until he finally managed to harmonize his voice. It’s really pleasant to listen to! He’d immediately jump up to sing with her and, for once, he’d not chose a rap song, but he’d look among Vasco Rossi’s biggest hits, choosing, with her, in the end, the immortal Albachiara. In the end, all the gang end up singing the song!

The third one is Abbacchio. He doesn’t sing often, but his voice is deep and soft, it’s so warm and nice to listen to! He’s not bad, but he’s not Pavarotti, let’s say. When he was a child and he and his family travelled around to go on holiday, his father always put on the radio Edoardo Bennato, and, for Abbacchio, even today, listening to his songs is something relaxing and sweet. So, he’d love to sing one of Bennato’s songs with his s/o, maybe La Fata, a song with bittersweet lyrics, as he likes so much. In the end it’s a good execution and his s/o’s voice makes it all so precious!

Then comes Bruno. His voice is good, but he has some problems in making it a “singing” voice and at the same time keeping the nice and smooth tone that makes his voice so unique. He doesn’t like a lot to sing, but, if it’s for his s/o, he’d do it! He doesn’t know by heart a lot of songs, but one he particularly loves is Samarcanda, by Roberto Vecchioni. The rhythm, the bittersweet lyrics... he likes everything! And he’d really love to hear his s/o singing one of his favourite songs, with him!

Second to last is Giorno! He talked little to nothing, in his childhood, and he sang even lesser. He’s not really out of tune, with some exercise he could get a really good singing voice, but he has no time, with his job! He’s not comfortable to sing in front of everyone, as he knows he’s not good at it, but, for his s/o, he’d do it anyway. When he was a child, the only music he could listen to were the songs of Pino Daniele, and, thanks to them, he learned Neapolitan way faster than if left alone and, so, he could integrate faster among the other kids. So, he’d love to sing with her one of Pino Daniele’s songs! Especially Napule è, which was basically the song that made him fell in love with his new hometown.

And, oh no! Last one’s Mista! Mista doesn’t lack of enthusiasm, oh no, he really doesn’t, but, well... he lacks of technique. It’s not a really nice thing to hear, even if his enthusiasm is contagious! He’s a lover of the most beautiful Italian songs and, among them, he’d really love to sing with his s/o the immortal Caruso by Lucio Dalla. Well... it’s not the best performance around, but he surely puts so much passion in it!

Oathtaking

I really did not enjoy my oathtaking. Alam mo yung feeling na ang tagal kong hinintay na pumasa tapos nung andyan na tapos parang ang pakiramdam ko "hay salamat tapos na" instead of "this is the start of a new beginning".

Oathtaking was March 10. Nakabalik ako ng Manila ng March 8 ng gabi tapos wala pa akong damit and all. So I only have 1 day to prepare everything, napull off naman.

On the day of my oathtaking, maaga kaming umalis kasi nagpaayos pa ako. Dun ko lang din nalaman na nakalimutan ng ate ko na oathtaking ko. Kaya hindi rin sya nakapagprepare and she was sending me casual outfits saying na okay na yun since nakaupo lang naman daw sila. Te, you volunteered to be my guest months back tapos ngayon ganyan ka? Capable ka naman to dress according to the dress code, tapos ganyan ka? Sobrang special nung araw na yon sakin tapos ganyan ka lang?

What pissed me more is that she expected us to pick her up e from pasig kami tapos sya sa taguig tapos sa moa area kami nagpaayos. Out of way. Tapos night before pa lang sinabihan ko na sya and knowing her, she never follow the time. And we cant risk that.

Late na kami nakarating sa venue at hindi ako nakapagpaso. And bukod dun, I dont know any from my school na sa manila rin nagoath. So I was there alone. Walang kausap, walang photos and yes, wala pang kain buong araw. Nakilala ko lang kung sino sila nung kumukha na ng id tapos nung nagpost na sila sa fb.

What time dumating ate ko? Past 3pm. Only an hr away para matapos ang event. Nice.

During the thanksgiving dinner, we invited family and friends. Nagpadagdag pa ng pax si mama night before kasi baka magkulang tapos ang nangyari, ang daming hindi nakapunta. Buti na lang talaga pumunta yung high school friends ko at kumpleto sila. And since maraming tirang food at yung iba untouched pa, pinamigay na lang namin kasi walang ref sa apartment. Kesa masira, ibigay na lang.

So yes, for some it was a very special day. Well, special din naman para sakin. Pero ramdam ko rin talaga na may kulang.

[stacylaughs]

June 14-19, 2019

If I had looked at a map more closely, I would went to Milan at this point, but we’ll get there.

Flixbus from Siena to Venice, 12:15pm-7pm, with two hours in Bologna, for $24.98. And, then, Gio’s Place/House cost me €28.44/night, so for being Italy’s most expensive city, it started off right for me. Though, I would say accommodations were a lot like staying at your grandma’s messy house with 40 strangers, half of them being mosquitoes.

Walking around Venice (aka Venezia) is surreal, with no cars, tiny streets, 117 islands, 150-odd canals, and 400+ bridges (78 of them being private). With more than 20 million visitors a year, on average throughout the year there are 73 tourists to 1 resident in Venice each day. 

It’s impossible not to get turned around and/or lost in Venice, but it’s also very walkable, even though the water buses (boats) are really fun, which you can use to get near or far. 

Maybe it was a combination of many people, hot days, and cobblestone streets, but I saw some people break their faces, bloody noses and blood splatters on their shirts, from falling. When people fall, they can’t seem to get their hands out in front of them and they land right on their faces. This reminds me of when I split open my knee in Barcelona and I’m again grateful it wasn’t worse.

Anyway, some things I enjoyed:

Spend some time taking in the atmosphere of St Mark’s Square, watching the people and the pigeons. Get lost wandering the winding cobblestone streets. 

For €7.50/75 minutes or $20/24 hours you can get a ticket with Alilaguna to just get around nearby or also explore some of the outer islands of Burano, Murano, or Lido to see a different side of Venice. The brightly colored homes of Burano and swimming in the ocean in Lido was my favorite day. People also like buying lace in Burano and you should eat at Trattoria Al Gatto Nero da Ruggero if you can.

Murano is a cluster of 8 small islands linked by bridges crossing the canals separating them. In 1291, Venice required all glassmakers to relocate to Murano because of the risk of fire to the city. The island thus became famous around the world as a center for masterful glassmaking of fine glass beads, mirrors, chandeliers, and other luxury creations, if you’re into that.

Mercato di Rialto is a great place to buy fruit, with my favorite fruit stand being at 220. See the nearby seafood market as well.

The European Cultural Centre (Palazzo Michiel) has free modern art to view and I was really into it.

Libreria Acqua Alta is a bookstore (mostly of Italian books) which stacks books in gondolas and bath tubs, with cats running amuck. 

The Penny Guggenheim Museum exhibits some of the most impressive early modern artworks in Europe. You can also take the Vapretto Line to see some of the best sights of Venice from the water.

People are always queuing for this gelato, but I liked SuSo a lot.

Pizzeria Napule restored my belief in pizza again.

Caffe Ai Crociferi is the best place to work on your laptop in Venice. It feels like an outdoor co-working space but you can easily sit inside as well.

Osteria All’Alba and Ruga Rialto are fun dive bars to go to late night. Ask for ombra, a small glass of house wine, red or white. Ombra means shadow, as wine used to be sold in the shadows.

Surprising to me, private gondolas cost up to 100€ for an hour! 

The free walking tour, Venice through the centuries (South) with Ricardo.

I also went on a Venice Food Tour: Rialto Market, Cannaregio, Gondola, Food & Wine for $85.83, which was alright but I think you’d be just as well-off finding any Prosecco joint with cicchetti (finger food like tapas) and then al nero di seppia (squid ink pasta) at any restaurant. Afterward, you can have spritz, a popular cocktail with white sparkling wine, sparkling water, and Aperol (sweet) or Campari (bitter and a bit strong) or half & half (mezzo e mezzo).

Natale 

First mafia christmas together (smut warning), hope everyone’s having a lovely festive time x

- chapter navigation -

Despite the success of the past few weeks, despite her increasing active role in the business, she had to try and conceal her nervousness as she sat in the car, a large bag on the seat next to her, shiny and black and filled with the best presents she'd found. She was determined, confident she was right where she was meant to be and ready to prove it, had no doubt that she could present herself the way she wanted. She was unable to say if she had Helders fooled, his eyes on her as he sat opposite her, the car slowing only for a moment as the gates opened and they approached the large house, then parked in the driveway next to Alexander's car, she took a deep breath, mere seconds passing before Helders held the door open for her.

Her black heels clicked on the ground, the cold only affecting her for a moment while she walked up to the door. She had rarely ever seen Helders in anything but the standard black suit, though this occasion's was dark burgundy, a shimmer to the material, and he wore a black shirt. She averted her gaze when she could sense he noticed her looking to distract herself. Before she could spare it another thought, the door opened, Cook stood on the other side, his suit maroon, though matching Helder's in material.

They exchanged a nod, then Jade was, to her surprise, greeted by Alexander's father before she could assess the inside of the house. She gave a nod. “Sir,” she said, the older man offered a nod in return, followed by a gesture and Helders took Jade's large black coat that had up until then concealed her well-fitted dress, velvet and sacramento green, the sleeves long, the neckline low, Alexander's jewel decorating her skin.

“Welcome.”

She smiled, tilted her head to the side. “Grazie, Don Turner.” She licked her lips, watched as Cook carried her bag inside for her. She could hear music somewhere in the distance, dishes and chatter from the kitchen, as well as the living room. “I-...” She cleared her throat. “Where is Alexander?”

“With his mother,” came the response. “In the kitchen.” He gestured vaguely, then turned back into the living room, Jade's curiosity too great not to follow the sounds, especially when she heard the depth of Alexander's voice ring from the kitchen, followed by a hint of his laughter.

She was unprepared when she stood in the frame of the large sliding door that led to the kitchen, it was half open and she was offered the perfect view of the entirety of the room. Alexander was wearing the same suit trousers she'd seen him exit his apartment in earlier that day, black and pinstriped, though the jacket was discarded over one of the chairs, his shirt that matched Jade's dress in colour unbuttoned at the top, the sleeves rolled up, and he swung a towel over his shoulder before picking up a wooden spoon to stir in a steaming pot on the stove, then scooping the smallest amount out to try, his eyes widening when they met Jade's as he turned around.

“Alexander...”

His face lit up, the corner of his mouth tugging upwards, a suggestive raise of his eyebrows. “'ey, doll,” he drawled, licking his lips.

“Jade, y'look wonderful,” Penny called, approaching her, an apron tied around her waist to protect her sparkling midnight blue dress. “I love this dress...”

Jade could barely focus on her, turning her head, though her eyes wandered back to Alexander in front of the stove, now standing up straight and adding something to the pot he'd been assessing. “Alexander gifted it to me this morning,” she explained absently, distracted. “I like your dress too.”

“Oh, grazie, bambina... did David greet you, like I told him?” She leaned to glance into the lounge.

“Oh, sí, he did,” Jade assured her.

“Good, good,” Penny nodded, then looked to Alexander. “I'll be back, bello.”

Jade followed her momentarily with her eyes, then when she turned, Alexander was already right there, one more step and he'd closed the space between them, made his way around the large kitchen island and his hand found the small of Jade's back. She swallowed, blinked back at him, though before she could question, tease, make any sort of comment, her eyes fell shut automatically with the way he kissed her, towering over her, his other hand cupping the side of her face to keep her close, the intensity with which his lips moved overpowering and hopelessly weakening, left her breathless when he drew back and his eyes opened, the depth of his stare addictive.

He stroked his thumb over the material of the dress, licking his lips. “Y'look sensational, doll.”

She closed her eyes momentarily again, leaning into his touch, though refusing to let him hypnotise her. “Alexander...”

He chuckled, the cheek sparkling in his eyes and he raised an eyebrow. “Yes, Jade?”

The depth of his voice was going to be the end of her. She bit her bottom lip, met his gaze again before she spoke. “You're helping your mother cook?”

His eyes widened, his head tilting to the side. “'elpin'?” he asked. “'s me dinner, darlin'.” He shook his head. “Been plannin' for months, the sauce for the manicotti is cookin' back there, zuppa di pesce de frutti di mare I've got in the other pot, tortiera di alici are in the oven, I mean, quite a few fings, but yeh'll 'ave t'wait 'n see, doll...”

She listened, her mouth watering as he spoke, her eyes wide with adoration. She could not hold back, too taken aback to deny him the satisfaction. “You cook,” she observed, evidently surprised as much as she was impressed, though knew she should have known better.

Alexander blinked back at her. “Onleh wif me mamma,” he stated, shrugging.

She gave a slight shake of her head, still in disbelief. “It smells incredible.”

He wiggled his eyebrows, chuckling. “I mean, 's a special occasion, eh?”

She rolled her eyes at his nonchalant response. “Dolce?”

He chuckled knowingly. “Got a special panettone,” he hummed, leaning closer and lowering his voice. “But...” His breath ghosted over her neck, her eyes falling closed as he pressed his lips to her neck just below her ear. “I made real luvleh zabaglione for yeh.”

His palm felt warm against her back, the slightest pressure making her body curve into his, though she felt she was already gravitating towards him. “For me?”

He hummed, her audible excitement all he needed. “Onleh you, doll.” He drew back slightly. “Let meh make yeh a drink so yeh can join the ofers. 's not joost me dad out there, Serena's 'ere too, and Mi should be 'ere aneh minute.”

“What about you?” she asked, could not conceal the need in her voice after his delicious promises, the suggestion of what would follow.

“Not mooch left t'do,” he stated, his thumb smoothing over cheek. “I'll beh all yehrs. If they give yeh aneh shit out there, dun't 'esitate givin' it rehyt back.”

She smiled, though already craving more of him as he drew back, unable to keep herself from pouting, her bottom lip pushing forward as she watched him with wide eyes.

“Oh, Jade...” he drawled. “I missed yeh all day.” He came closer again, his arm wrapping around her, his hand sprawled out over her abdomen, his lips against her cheek. “And I'll beh rehyt out there, I promise yeh.”

She sighed, relaxing back into his touch, could feel how at ease he was himself, the muscles in his chest and his arm less tense, effortlessly easing her too.

“D'yeh want meh t'tell yeh wha' I'm doin' wif yeh later?”

She tensed again instantly, her eyelids fluttering, she knew she wouldn't be able to resist. “I-...”

“Shh, I joost want t'tell yeh, see if yeh're interested,” he declared nonchalantly, dragging his hand up her body, adjusting the jewel around her neck. “May I?”

She nodded, her breath caught in her throat momentarily, left unable to verbally respond.

“Weh get back t'me apartment 'n yeh dance for meh a bit...” It was a demand rather than a question, though he waited nonetheless for her response, humming with satisfaction when she nodded. “Then weh get yeh on the bed...” He brought his hand further up to wrap his fingers slowly around her throat, felt her relax back into him instantly. “Mmm, 'ow about I take me belt 'n put it round yehr throat...” He gave a hint of a squeeze, felt her nod. “Then use it t'move yeh on meh real slow?”

She tried to catch her breath, felt his hand move to gain access to her underneath her dress, effortlessly pushing her thong to the side.

“Yes?” The depth of his voice was intoxicating.

“Yes,” she breathed.

“Luvleh.” He paused. “Jade...” he drawled, the movement of his fingers shameless. “'ave yeh cum on tha' new lace I gave yeh?”

She swallowed hard, his fingertips brushing over her throat. “No...” she whispered.

“D'yeh want teh?” His fingers filled her slowly, made her shiver and fall back against him.

She could hear sounds from the lounge growing loader, feared someone approaching, too dazed to identify the closeness of the steps. “A-Alexander...” she whined, squirming, sinking down on his fingers as she adjusted, tears stinging in her eyes.

“Joost say no 'n I'll take me fingers out of yehr cunt, doll...” he hummed reassuringly.

“No,” she whined instantly. “I mean-... no, I... please don't...”

He waited, his movements ceasing, feeling her tighten, gush around him, desperate for more. “Jade?”

“Don't stop,” she caved, felt the muscles tense in his arm that was wrapped firmly around her, his fingers releasing her throat to push two fingers into her mouth, then he curled his fingers inside her, his thumb adding increasing pressure to her clit and in mere moments she fell apart in his arms, intoxicated by the spice of his cologne, the intensity of his voice, his lips pressed to her neck, tears rolling down her cheeks as she sucked needily on his fingers.

Alexander hummed with satisfaction, held her steady until she'd panted out the pleasure, attempted to steady herself, his hand on her hip as she adjusted her dress, turned around to face him.

The sparkle of mischief and excitement in his eyes was too much, she knew there was no use trying to hide how much she adored him.

He brushed his fingers through her hair at the back of her neck, then reached behind her to pick up a soft handkerchief from a folded stack, dabbing it lightly over her cheeks with the tips of his fingers. He was hopelessly drawn in by her perfection, the irresistible cherry red of her lips, the way her skin was slightly flushed around the jewel after he'd allowed himself to give her a taste of what he wanted to do, what he would do, her eyes wide. “Y'look phenomenal.”

She laughed quietly, leaned in to peck his lips, drew back to see his features lit up.

“I can't wait teh actualleh see tha' lil' set yeh're wearin'...”

“How does it feel?” she asked, licking her lips.

He raised an eyebrow at her nerve. “Like I'll 'ave t'try me best t'keep it intact,” he stated, his voice unshaken.

She pursed her lips, her heart skipping a beat when she was kept from responding by Penny entering the kitchen, the doorbell ringing at the same moment.

“Tha'll be Miles,” she said. “How's the soup, bambino?”

Jade drew back reluctantly, her heart skipping a beat from the intensity of Alexander's eyes before he averted his gaze after his lips formed the words “ti adoro, cara mia”, and one step out of the kitchen had her drawn into Kane's arms, surrounded instantly by the sweetness of his overwhelming floral scent, before he was leading her into the lounge.

“Come wif me, bella, let the maestro do 'is magic.”

It was not long that she sat with Alexander's father, Serena and Miles alone, the conversation carried mostly by the latter, dressed in a burgundy suit that he was pleased matched Helders in a certain way.

Although Jade had now been in the house of Alexander's parents a multitude of times, she still found herself completely drawn in by the way it had transformed for the occasion, the statement piece of the lounge among the tasteful decoration the large tree, reflecting the classic theme of gold and burgundy. All presents were concealed by the shine of elegant bags, or sleek black wrapping paper. What she had brought had already been added, and she sipped contentedly on the glass Penny brought her from the kitchen, knew instantly Alexander had mixed it for her, as promised.

Soon, she found herself sat by his side at the long table in the dining room, a new drink in front of her, Alexander's hand resting soothingly on her thigh, occasionally toying with the lace elastic of her sheer nylons. She was unsurprised by the divinity of the food he'd made, despite her initial reaction, she knew she should not have doubted his skill, had not yet found anything he was unable to shine in, and the moment she ultimately was presented with her favourite dessert that she had made just for her, she could not have been more comfortable right where she sat by his side, the plates cleaned when Alexander rose to his feet and cleared his throat to speak, ringing his fork gently against his glass.

“Joost a few words before I want teh start 'n give yeh all me presents I've brought yeh.” He licked his lips, looked around as he had everybody's attention. “'s been a 'ard year,” he stated. “But 's also been an adventure. Weh're at the top, nobodeh undermine us.” He pressed his lips together, then his eyes wandered to Jade, reaching out and smiling when she lifted her hand for him to take. “And I got me darlin' Jade,” he added. “I luv yeh all. All of yeh mean the entire world t'meh, I am proud, 'n I am grateful t'beh a part of this famileh. Merreh christmas.”

Jade leaned to press a kiss to the back of his hand, then let him lead her over to sit by the tree with the others, leaned back an armchair and pulling her into his lap shamelessly, now that he'd eaten and taken care of what he'd wanted to allowing himself to really relax, the occasional kisses he drew her in for tasting sweet, as well as bitter from the exquisite whisky he'd ordered and begun sharing with her.

He watched as they one by one opened his presents for them, his mother a perfume, a necklace, a dress, for his father he'd imported a bottle of ancient scotch, had found a vintage watch he knew he'd love. With Serena engaged in conversation with his father, and Miles out of the room to find a bottle of champagne Alex had promised, he could no longer contain himself and told Jade which present was for her, insisting she sat back down in his lap before she drew the shiny black Versace box from the matching bag, her eyes widening as she lifted the cover.

“Oh, Alexander...” she mumbled, her eyes glued to the beautiful two piece made up of a black skirt and a sweetheart-neck corset style top, long-sleeved and hopelessly elegant.

He chuckled, adored the excitement on her face. “Yeh're gunna look stunnin' in it,” he told her, then reaching out to hand her another bag. “But tha' ain't all, darlin'.” He licked his lips, watching her closely.

Jade drew the Valentino bag from its concealment, lifting her gaze to look at Alexander, turning the gorgeous accessory between her fingers. “This is beautiful,” she said. “I haven't seen it before, I-...”

“'s limited. I mean, going t'be,” he explained. “I made sum calls, got yeh one of the first. I figured it were vereh you, doll.”

She placed it down carefully, then leaned in to cup his face into her hands, kissing him deeply, felt his arm instantly wrapping tighter around her to pull her in closer, parting her lips with his, a husky groan escaping his lips, testing her resistance, she wanted him desperately.

His attention was compromised when he heard Miles clear his throat behind him, patting his shoulder.

“I want me present, bello,” he drawled.

Jade took a deep breath as Alexander drew back, lifted her gaze, though stayed sat as she was. “I'm giving him mine first,” she stated.

Alexander chuckled.

“Anyfin' y'say, bella,” Miles grinned, wiggling his eyebrows and kneeling down, waiting for her to instruct him which one to pick up.

“The white one there.”

Alexander held out his hand, then turned to look back at Jade. “Wha's this, doll?” he hummed, his attention exclusively on her again.

She licked her lips. “Open it,” she shrugged with a smile.

He rolled his eyes, slowly opening his first present, shuffling to see Jade's reaction from the corner of his eye, though unable to focus on anything but the ring in front of him once he'd opened the small box. “Oh...” he hummed, carefully taking it out and holding it into the light. “Oh, darlin'...”

She smiled contentedly to herself as she watched him inspect the exquisite piece of jewellery that she knew he'd been after, had heard him on the phone with an antiquity dealer, only to be denied purchasing the ring, simply because of his reputation, the men on the other hand more nerve than anyone Jade had heard in opposition to Alexander, so she'd gone personally, not in one of his cars, without any attachment to him to appear interested herself, for a fabricated husband that did resemble Alexander in any way, and it had not taken much.

A smile was playing around his lips as he looked up at her, placed the gold ring on his finger, unable to help the smug expression. “'ow did yeh do tha'?” he asked, knew this was not the moment to deny her the satisfaction she deserved.

She took his hand, brought it to her lips and kissed the ring, held his gaze. “As much as I love being associated with you and using your power, I got this through a little charade, pretended and flirted a little bit and it was mine. I know how much you wanted it.”

“Darlin'...” he sighed, hypnotised by the way she spoke, her pride and passion.

“And I knew you'd love it even more, knowing that you can spite this dealer now, that you got what you wanted and he has no idea.”

He chuckled, shaking his head. “Fookin'ell, yeh've realleh got meh, Jade.” He sighed. “Fook. I swear I'd do anehfin' for yeh.”

She smiled triumphantly, hopelessly enamoured by his unfiltered excitement, watched his eyes wander down at the signet ring again, gold, an ornate band of vines and leaves, the top flat and encasing an emerald, unusual in its deep green colour.

“Doll?”

“Mm?” She tilted her head to the side. “Did yeh do this t'mark yehr territoreh?”

Jade hummed. “Mmm, it might have motivated me.”

He chuckled, his hand coming up to brush his knuckles lightly over her cheek. “Tha's me girl...”

She visited me!

10/08/18

When you called me that night, there were 2 things that shocked me - firstly, bibisita ka; secondly, magmemeet tayo sa Beach (LUH INUMAN PLACE BA KASI NAMAN!)

               On a side note, I was really excited to see you that night, I had a lot of plans to study nung night na yun but I knew that I had to adjust it dahil paminsan lang naman din tayo magkita. (Paminsan nga lang ba? HAHAHAHA it’s the 3rd time that we met that week.) But ayun, hanging out with your Nestle team also made me feel proud of you once again. You guys were talking about the Case room, and talagang napull-off mo talaga ideas mo babe <3 I’m so proud. Nakita at naramdaman ko yung struggles mo when you were in the preparation and planning stage, and right after it sobrang ganda ng kinalabasan? (Oo, di ko pa man din nakita, but based from what I heard from you guys... It was really a success.)

               So ayun, you also invited me na ihatid ka in the first place so I was really happy na I get to be with you until Multi. You know how happy I am when we get to lean on each other and just close our eyes together. Those are my fav relaxing moments! Anyway, just tell me lang when you’re going to visit again.

Kakaiba pala feeling nang tumugtog sa isang acoustic night. Honestly, namiss ko ang aking beloved tele at floor pod, hehehe. 😅 Pero masaya dahil ang dami kong napakinggan fellow songwriters (shoutout lalo na sa mga antifellow roomies kong si @monicaomondang & @mariah_moriones). 🤗 Apir sa atin @mojimojianone at napull off natin to men, at thank you so much sa pag-invite mo sa'min @laroatlente! 😊❤🤟🎸 [first photo grabbed, others are err poorly taken by moi kasi ang layo ko mga beshie hence zoomed lang, hahaha] #alkansyaproject #cosmicparasolsonehalflang (at Conspiracy Garden Cafe)
