MY Possessive Mafia Men

Chapter 138: Let's Revisit The Contract Chapter 138: Let's Revisit The Contract Angelia

James and Kent had been friends for a couple of years, they used to be right until James found out how he acted with women, all because of me and maybe others as well. A creep didn't become one overnight, sure he had apologized and it might have been sincere but I wasn't desperate enough to have him as a friend to take that chance. "What are you doing here?" I asked, trying to covertly look around the street and making sure people were.

Luckily, there were still plenty of people outside and it wasn't that late yet. I didn't think he would do anything to me but I couldn't be too careful. After all, I might be the cause of the broken friendship between him and James in his mind. In reality, it had been more about his behavior than anything else.

I might have if it was daylight outside and I had met him in a place I felt safe, just not here and not now. Hurrying back to my apartment building, I got inside and locked up after me. My grocery bag was momentarily forgotten as I stood in wondering what Kent had wanted with me. His expression had definitely been sad and there had been an almost desperation in his voice when he asked me to give him a minute of time. It could be possible that I had wrongly judged him and if that was the case, I was a complete *** for screwing up his friendship with James. But of course, I didn't have the luxury to not be wary of from feeling bad about it, though.

woman had that luxury. It didn't stop me

Deciding to let the meeting go from my thoughts, I put on some feel-good indie music on my phone and started making dinner. I soon found out it wasn't the same at all cooking alone as it

There wasn't any buzzing beneath my skin like I had when he was close by and I didn't feel the excitement like I did when I got him to talk by asking questions.

I had spent twenty-three years without it and it had been fine but now that I knew what it was like, it just made me more addicted to the feeling of not being alone.
