“Good morning, Hayden,” I greeted him when he started stirring in bed.
He smiled at me and how his smile reached his beautiful blue eyes made my heart skip a beat in pleasant surprise.
“Morning, Malissa…” Hayden greeted me in return before he got up and stretched.
I wished that I could do the same but the soreness of my body, especially in that place in between my legs prevented me from doing so. We made love late into the night the night before and my body was paying for it very dearly this morning. Hayden, on the other hand, seemed fit and fine as always.
“Hungry?” He asked.
“Not really…” I replied softly.
“You can sleep in for today if you want. Unfortunately, I have some work to do so I’ll be getting up first,” Hayden said passively.
“Oh no…I’ll rather go with you,” I said decisively.
“I see. That might be better…” Hayden said before smiling a little my way.
By the time we showered and got dressed for the day, Luka was already waiting for us in the living room. His face seemed sterner and more alert than yesterday. One look at his face and we both knew that he had some news to break to us.
“He’s here,” Luka announced.
He…as in…?
“The Head of Silva…” Hayden answered my unasked question as he smirked in satisfaction.
I didn’t know how Hayden knew but he was right. The man that he wanted to meet, the boss of Silva, was now on this very ship. I couldn’t explain why, but I started to have a very bad feeling about these two men meeting. Hayden seemed very fixated on this man who was the boss of the silva gang. The boss did refer to this man as Hayden’s old friend, I wondered if that was true.
“Are you…going to meet him?” I asked in a small voice.
“Of course. That’s why I came all the way out here,” Hayden replied without a second thought.
“Will everything be ok?” I asked.
Honestly, I felt very worried for Hayden’s safety. The relationship between the two gangs seemed strained and I wasn’t sure if meeting the boss head on was going to be the right move.
“Of course. I can’t be sure if the talks and negotiations will go well but at least you don’t have to worry about having a shoot out here. Head of gangs don’t just randomly shoot at each other, you know?” Hayden said, completely relaxed.
“No…I don’t…” I mumbled.
“Haha! You’re so funny. You’re right, I guess you wouldn’t know…” Hayden said with a laugh.
“I’m just worried since you guys don’t seem to be on good terms,” I voiced my concern.
“It’s just business, but you’re right, I’m not particularly fond of the man. You can come along,” Hayden said flatly.
“Really?” I asked in surprise.
