★(THE NEW LIFE)★
Everyone still had the confusion looks on their faces until Blade spoke up again
“They will be the new trainees,but at the same time,they will be getting trained to join the gangs very soon” He said and murmured filled everywhere
“Come with me” Venom muttered to Blade and walked out
Blade chuckled inwardly and followed him
Phoenix was the first who ran to hug Marissa
“I’m so happy!” Phoenix said
Marissa was still shocked,it’s not like she doesn’t want it,in fact it’s a dream come true,but what if Venom is against it?
**
Venom stopped walking and turned to Blade with an angry look
“What the h*ll was that?? What exactly are you trying to do right now?” He asked
Blade smiled and moved close to him.
“I just did what I’ve always wanted to do” He said and Venom frowned
“Isn’t that a stupid thing to do? Maids??” Venom scoffed
“Like I said,they are going to be trained”
“Like I care,we’ve never done that so why are you starting now? Am going godfather won’t…”
“I don’t care about him,don’t worry about him” Blade cut in and Venom nodded
“Right,are you seriously doing this coz he’s your father? You just keep doing anything you want,does this even make any sense to you?” Venom said and Blade tucked his hands into his pockets
“Well,I’m not changing my mind. Okay?” He said
“I’m not asking you to change your mind,just do whatever you want” Venom said and walked away
Marissa bumped into him but he didn’t mind to look at her before walking away
Marissa turned back,watching him leave.
She turned again when she felt some steps behind her,and there was Blade looking at her
She immediately bowed
“Thank you for choosing me,I promise to do my best” She said
“You better do,that’s going to be the best decision” Blade said
“I promise” Marissa smiled
Blade walked away leaving her all alone
Marissa exhaled happily,all of a sudden someone hug-ged her even before she could raise her head,her legs are already in the air
“I’m the happiest person right now” Blaze said as he hug-ged her ti-ghtly
“Hey drop me” Marissa chuckled
Blaze dropped her and hug-ged her again
“This is like a dream” Marissa muttered
“I know right?” Blaze said
They broke the hug
“I can’t wait to see you,out of this” He said,looking at the maid uniform on her
“Me too” Marissa mumbled tearfully
Blaze immediately wiped her tears off
“Don’t do that,you’re too pretty to cry” he said and Marissa smiled,but the tears kept on coming
She hug-ged Blaze again
“I still can’t believe it,I feel like I’m finally free,maybe not fully but partially” She said,crying on his shoulder
Blaze wrapped his arms around her wai-st and kis-sed her hair
**
Phoenix groa-ned frustratingly as she walked,she suddenly stopped and took off her heels,she sighed out and stood up properly,she almost fell but a hand caught her wai-st and a light gasp escape her li-ps when she inhaled the familia scent
She looked up,she was right,it’s him. His enchanting eyes almost made her act silly but she control herself
“Thank you” She muttered
Blade released her and stared at the shoes in her hand,she fold her hands around it nervously.
“Your dress,look pretty” Blade said and Phoenix looked up immediately with shock
Is she dreaming? Did he just compliment her dress?? Even though it’s not her,but her dress is also part of her right??
“Th…..thank….you” She stuttered,which she regretted immediately
It’s annoying how she never seem to find her voice whenever she’s around him
“Blade!” They heard a girl’s voice from the back and Phoenix looked up,she’s the same girl fli-rting with Blade at the club.
Blade on the other hand didn’t bother to turn back until the girl got to them
“I’ve been waiting,why are you here?” She asked and glared at Phoenix before grabbing Blade’s hand
“Let’s go” She said
Blade faced her and dropped her hand
“Not in the mood anymore,you can go” He said and Phoenix looked at him again,is he serious right now?
“What?? Blade……”
“Stop it” Blade cut her off and grabbed Phoenix’s hand instead
“Let’s go” He said,shocking Phoenix even more and like that they both walked away
They got to Blade’s suite and he released Phoenix hand
“You can go” He said and Phoenix frowned
“Now you’re using me to get rid of your bi-tch ?? Am I really this useless to you?” She asked
Blade said nothing
“I un-derstand you don’t feel anything for me okay? I un-derstand I’m not your type of girl,but isn’t this getting too much?? You keep playing with my feelings and hurting me at the same time,I know I’m the foolish one here,I didn’t even know when the feelings started growing,not like it’s my fault! How can you be treating me this way?? Why do you keep acting like I am not a woman too?? Just tell me why you can’t see me as one,I’m not pretty enough?” She said in tears
Blade kept quiet,he only stared at her
“Why are you not saying anything?? Tell me…..” She was taken aback by his sudden action.
He draw her close and slammed his li-ps on her own
Phoenix didn’t waste a second trying to be shocked,she immediately kis-sed him back,it’s like a dream right now and she’s trying to live it first.
She held his shirt,pulling him more closer as they devoured each others li-ps in a fast pace
Blade lifted her up and opened the door immediately,he entered and closed the door,none of them broke the kis-s. Until they entered the bedroom and Blade dropped her on the bed,Blade stared at her.
Phoenix grabbed his shirt and pulled his face down again until their li-ps collided. She kis-sed him hungrily.
Blade’s hand went to her boo-bs and sque-ezed it gently,Phoenix mo-aned into his mouth and started un-bu-ttoning his shirt also,the kis-s still getting every second. She immediately took the shirt off and felt his nak*d che-st.
Blade slide his hand inside her dress but all of a sudden he brou-ght it out and broke the kis-s,he got down from the bed too
“Leave” He said,surprising Phoenix
“Is there…something wrong?” She asked as he opened a bottle of alcohol and began gulping it down without stopping
He faced her again
“What are you waiting for? Get out” He said more coldly this time
Phoenix got down from the bed,she took her shoes and walked out
Blade groa-ned and sat down
“What the h*ll was I thinking?” He muttered
‘Not your fault,she was looking super hot tonight’ his subconsciousness said to him and he began drinking again
******
MAIDS APARTMENT**
Marissa entered and Jinx sat up immediately
“How are you feeling right now?” She asked
“Happy,but I still don’t un-derstand why he choose us” Marissa said and fell on the bed
“Actually…I once went to him and begged him to accept me as a trainee but I was turned down,I couldn’t go to Venom. But I think he finally decided to give me a chance” Jinx said
“Then,what about me? Why would he choose me?” Marissa asked
“Who knows? But I’m happy for us!” Jinx rushed to hug her
“It’s always been my dream,I will surely do my best and not disappoint him. Now Seth won’t forget my face anymore” Jinx said happily
Marissa smiled but sighed when she remembered Venom
‘That devil always make me worried’ she thought
******
NEXT MORNING**
Marissa and Jinx stood and watched from afar as Trace and Star collected their badges,indicating that they are officially part of the mafia gangs,they got weapons too,their own guns,swords and others. The hall was filled up so they are at the end
“You two newbies,come with me” Phoenix said from their back and they turned back
“Phoenix” Marissa smiled
“Follow me” Phoenix said and led the way
Jinx held Marissa’s hand and they followed Phoenix
She took them to the training hall where they met Calix
“You can go now Phoenix” Calix said
Phoenix bowed and walked away
“I guess you know I am your trainer” Calix asked
“Yes sir”
“It’s master” Calix corrected them
“Master” They bowed
Few trainees started coming in one after the other and they stared at Jinx and Marissa who are still in their uniform
“Go into that room and pick one training outfit each from the locker,one minute” Calix said
Marissa and Jinx ran off
? Seriously? When did maids Started getting the opportunity to become a trainee?
? Blade gave the order not Venom
? It’s kind of annoying
The trainees murmured
“Silence!” Calix snapped and they kept quiet
Jinx and Marissa came out after a minute fully dressed and all eyes fell on them especially Marissa,she was looking so hot in the leggings and sport bra
“Why are you standing there,get to work” Calix said
“Yes master” They chorused
ONE HOUR LATER
“Hey you! What the h*ll are you doing?!” Calix yelled at Marissa
“How many times do I have to teach you a single move?! Why can’t you just get it at once?!” Calix said angrily
“I’m sorry” Marissa said
“Your friend is getting it,why can’t you get it?! Gosh,I hate this”
“That’s enough” The voice said across the room and everyone turned to see Venom in
The trainees gasped,it’s literally the first time Venom ever stepped here
“Venom” Calix called
Venom looked at Marissa and then back to Calix
“She’s not getting anything” Calix said
“You don’t have to worry about her” Venom said
“Hey,follow me” He said to Marissa and walked out at once
Marissa bowed to Calix and immediately ran after Venom.
Venom didn’t look back once as he walked while Marissa tried keeping to his pace wondering where they are going.
Venom stopped in front of the gym and entered,Marissa followed.
Venom tucked his hands into his pockets and faced her
“I’m going to train you by myself” he said and Marissa gasped
“Really?” She asked
Venom roll his eyes and ignored her question
“You look weak,Calix’s training won’t do you any good,He’s too soft for you” Venom said and Marissa’s eyes wide-ned
Soft?? She’s not getting what he just called softly
“Before you start learning how to fight,you need to workout,you should exercise your Back,Arms,Shoulders,che-st,legs,and core. After that,you’re good to go” Venom said
Marissa nodded trying her best to catch up as possible
“We will start with the pull ups” Venom muttered and walked toward the pull up bar
“Climb on” he ordered
“How?? Like this?” Marissa tried touching but her hands couldn’t reach
Venom shook his head and sighed
“Why can’t you just jump! Are you expecting me to carry you?!” He snapped
Marissa immediately jumped and she hanged on the bar
“Now try going up and down,your head must pa-ss the edge when going up..start” Venom ordered
Marissa could feel her hands shaking already
**
“Here’s your room” Seth said to Jinx when he opened the door
Jinx gasped
“Wow” She ran around checking it out
It’s so spacious and beautiful
“Wait…only me?? Or…I have a room mate?” She asked
“Everyone have different rooms,so it’s yours alone” Seth said and she smiled
“Good luck” Seth muttered and went out before she could say a word more
Jinx fell on the bed happily
“Thank you Blade” She mumbled
BACK IN THE GYM
Marissa only did three pull ups before she fell and landed on her bu-tt
“Ouch!” She winced
She looked up to see Venom who have no expression on his face
“I’m…..”
“You should go back and take your uniform from Zuna,people like you are not needed” Venom cut her off and turned to go
Marissa immediately stood up and ran after him,she blocked him
“I’m sorry,,I promise to try my best this time…please I don’t want to go back” she pleaded
“You keep annoying me with every fuc-king moves of yours,you think this is how it’s done??”
“I will do my best this time” Marissa muttered
**
“Hey Echo” Trace called and caught up with her
Echo faced him with a frown
“What” She asked
“Where Athena? I haven’t seen her today” Trace said and Echo scoffed
“What do I look like? Researcher?”
“I’m asking you because she’s your friend,what’s wrong with that” Trace said
“Why don’t you wait until you see her and stop bothering me like I’m hiding her somewhere” Echo hissed and walked away
“What’s wrong with her?” Trace muttered
“Did you just talk to her?” Star asked behind him
“As if” Trace scoffed
“She’s kinda cold” Star muttered
“Not like I care” Trace scoffed and walked away
Star followed him
“I just can’t wait for the party the gangs are preparing for the new members tonight,it’s gonna be fun” Star said
“Yeah right” Trace smiled
******
NIGHT>VENOM’S SUITE**
Drake entered the room and met Venom seated,he had a cigarette in his hand and was about to light it.
“Boss I’m here” He said
“Get me Marissa” Venom said
“Okay boss” Drake left immediately and Blade came in
Venom roll his eyes and light his cigarette
Blade cleared his throat and dropped something on the table
“Brandt is back,so…we move tomorrow night as planned” He said
“You don’t have to tell me,do you?” Venom asked
“Are you still angry? It’s almost twenty four hours dude” Blade scoffed
“Well I’m still angry,and even more angry because she’s too weak for my liking” Venom muttered
“I know why I’m doing this okay? If only you can reason with me,you will know exactly why” Blade said
“You don’t have to tell me,you already decided on your own” Venom said
“Wanna drink with me?” Blade asked
“No” Venom said
“You don’t mean it right?” Blade lean his face closer
“Just leave,I don’t feel like talking to you. Maybe tomorrow,but not now,not today” Venom said
“Okay then little brother” Blade winked and Venom glared at him
Blade smiled at him once more before going out
Venom scoffed
The door opened again and Drake came in
“Boss,Marissa is not in her room” He said
“Where is she?” Venom frowned
“She’s in the party,the welcome party arranged by the gangs” Drake replied
“Bring her here right away” Venom said
Minutes later,the door opened and Marissa entered,she grinned and almost staggered
Drake entered also
“She’s drunk boss,I heard she only drank a gla-ss” Drake replied
“You can go” Venom said and Drake left
Marissa smiled as she walked closer to Venom
“Michael” She called
Venom scoffed
“Why do you……look more handsome now?” She asked and tou-ched his face
“Hey….Michael” She sat down on his lap-s and kept on caressing his cheeks
“You look s-exy” She grinned and cu-p-ped his cheek
Venom stared at her speechlessly
“I love your name,and your li-ps” She smiled and pec-ked his li-ps
Venom tried looking away but she pulled his face back to herself
“Hey Michael,stay still…..okay??…”
“Seriously??” Venom chuckled
Marissa started kis-sing him again while Venom spent the whole time staring at her and at the same time wondering why he’s not doing anything. Just the innocent look on her face alone is enough to melt him at the moment….what is going on with him??
