this little short *grin*.
Happy Hump-Day everyone!

Michael
Alesi watched the caramel skinned woman from across the room. He recognized the
man constantly vying for her attention, as his brother Nicco’s friend Marcello
Perini. Michael had never cared for the young man and now he knew why. The
bartender sat the drink down and front of the young woman, and she turned that
is when he recognized her, Kendra Washington. The bartender distracted her
while Marcello dropped something into her drink.
“You
stupid fuck,” Michael barked.
“What?”
He heard his companion say.
“Carmella,
I must apologize I have an emergency. I will have a car take you home,” he said
already out of his seat.
“What emergency? Michael you promised,”
Carmella whined.
“I
did not promise I indulged you. However, now I have a true emergency. I will
call you tomorrow,” he said more to get rid of her than truth. He knew that
this was the end of their association. Carmella had begun to take liberties
that were not afforded her by him. Especially since he knew that she’d slept
with his brother Nicco. The two had no idea that he knew. He didn’t care enough
that they should know.
“Make
sure you do,” she snapped. “I am getting tired of waiting for you Michael.”
“As
I have never asked you to wait for me, your empty threat is just that, empty.
Our association is over. Goodbye. And before you even began to make a scene,
give my regards to my brother,” he snapped, then turned and walked away,
leaving her at the table.
He
was too late. The young woman already had the drink up to her mouth and had
taken a healthy swallow. Michael reached the young woman and gentle took the
drink out of her hand.
“I
would advise you not to take another sip,” he whispered for her ears only, then
shot the bartender a frosty glare, before turning menacing eyes on Marcello.
“Marcello
you have until I count to one to get up and get out of here. My family’s
association with yours is the only reason why I will not make this a public
issue. Yet. However, watch your back because the next time we meet I will
surely kill you,” he stormed.
“Micheal,
is that you?” She slurred before swaying in his arms.
“Yes,
love,” he said.
“Hey,
what are going doing here?” She murmured, snuggling closer to him.
“Shit!”
Michael cursed. “Kendra, I have to get you out of here.”
“I
don’t feel so good,” she moaned.
“I
know love. Come let’s get you out of here,” he said turning to the man behind
the bar. “We’re leaving out the back. I will deal with you later. You and
Marcello better hope she does not have any side effect from what you let him
slip in her drink or you both will regret the day you were born,” he snapped.
Michael
held Kendra with one arm wrapped around her waist. He then reached into his
pocket, took out his cell and called Piero. All hell was about the break loose.
Piero didn’t suffer fools and one that messed with his sister-in-law would
surely die.
Wow, that was some excerpt. I truly enjoyed that. It left me wanting more to read.
