44 Chapter 44: Kingdom Krashing (1/2)
”Any questions ma'am?”
”Just call me Kaz and uh, why is everyone looking at me?”
He chuckles nervously,
”That's because you're the first lady and you're working here...at the wear house.”
”Well I suggest you all get used to it, because until I find what i'm here for, i'm not leaving!”
I make sure I speak loud enough for all the men to hear,
”Now, what should I do first?”
”Toni, ven aquí!”
(Toni, come here!)
He waves over a tall, shirtless, and muscular man with jet black hair and sparkling pale blue eyes. He jogs over towards us and holds at his hand,
”Sup, i'm Toni.”
I take his hand,
”Kaz.”
”Entonces eres la esposa de Ricky, ¿eh? Ese hijo de puta afortunado.”
(So you're Ricky's wife, huh? That lucky motherfucker.)
”Oye! She's you're new boss, show some respect.”
I giggle and little bit,
”It's fine, I don't mind. Shall we go, Toni?”
”Después de ti hermosa.”
(After you beautiful.)
We spent the rest of the day talking and going over what to do.
It's been a few weeks now, Toni and I really connected, I felt as if I made a real friend. He's kind and a little flirty but I don't mind, his intentions are pure.

”Just listen! I've almost got her. She has no idea that it's me, she thinks i'm her friend...hold up someone's here.”
'Toni?'
He opens the old door of the office and steps inside. He tires to slide his phone back into his pocket without me seeing.
”¿Qué sigues haciendo aquí, cariño?”
(What are you still doing here, honey?)
”Oh, Toni. I was just finishing up these files. What about you?”
He tires to slide his phone back into his pocket without me seeing.
'Why was he trying to hide his phone and who was he talking to?'
”Sometimes I stay here when everyone else leaves. It's kinda nice when it's empty.”
”Really? It's creepy as hell at night.”
”Heh, c'mon. I wanna show you something.”
He leans up against they door frame showing off his toned arms.
”Y-yeah, sure.”
'What the hell?! Why am I so nervous?'
He leads me to the loading docks and sits at the edge,
”Sit.”
He pats the ground and sit down beside him.
”Now what is so nice about this?”
”Look up hun.”
He tilts my head up towards the sky. It's filled with stars shining like diamonds and moon is full. It looks extra bright tonight.
”Wow...this just,”
”I know. Not so creepy now is it?”
”No...”
We happen to lock eyes. He lingers but I look away,
”I should get going. Ricky's probably looking for me.”
I get up to leave but he grabs my hand,
”Hey, don't leave now! We were having a good time.”
”Maybe next time Toni, i've really gotta go.”
”Ah ok. Well can I at least give ya a ride home?”
”I'll be fine, thanks though.”
I turn to leave but I can feel his eyes piercing the back of my head.
'Shit, it's him. GODDAMNIT WHY HIM?!'
I call down a cab and get in.
”Where to ma'am?”
”The Hernandez Mansion.”
***
”Hey babe, how was work? Any new information?”
I flop down on Ricky's lap,
”Today was my last day. I know all I need to know.”
He plays in my hair,
”Really?”
