In the dark - Camila Cabello

———

The raven-haired beauty was cleaning the spilled alcohol from the bar, she had a serious face and a tired look.

For the luck of the female, the bar was not as full as usual, only about five people already quite drunk were in the place, which allowed the English woman wander in her thoughts.

-Casper- The pale woman looks up to meet her new friend.

-This woman says she knows you- Says the giant man.

Paige looks at the entrance of the bar to see a brown-haired woman standing at the door.

-Thanks Braun- She says smiling slightly.

The giant man stands aside so that the woman can pass.

-Brooklyn... cute- Says the brunette woman as she approaches the bar.

-How did you find me Steph- Says the pale female.

-I paid someone to find out for me- Says the older woman smiling. -You didn't go far.

-What do you want?

Silence invades between both women.

-They want you back... we want you back.

-I can't make him happy- Paige says.

-Who says it?- Says the brunette -I had never seen my son so happy to have you and so broken to lose you. He doesn't need that, as long as he has you.

If only a few months ago, when both women had met for the first time and told them that Stephanie Levesque would get those words from the bottom of her heart... neither of them would believed it.

Now, the only thing the brunette wants is to see her son happy again.

-Sorry, Steph.

-He doesn't talk to me anymore, he didn't even come back home when he go out to look for you, he's staying with Carmella- Stephanie says looking around.

-I don't want to hear it- Says the pale woman.

Stephanie looks at her with hate.

-You don't want to hear it? You don't want to hear the damage you have done to my son? You don't want to hear how he is suffering? How is he worried about you?

-I can't make you happy Steph, you said it yourself, I can't, he has nothing wrong, it's me who can't do what any normal woman is supposed to do- The English woman's voice breaks at her last words.

The females had not realized that they had been shouting all this time, drawing the attention of drunken customers.

Silence invades the entire bar.

The raven-haired woman cleans the tears she had let out, making her way out of the bar as quickly as possible.

-Chocolate?- Says the giant man, preventing the passage to the female.

-Not now Braun- Paige says, dodges him easily and then leaves the bar.

Stephanie chases her.

-Paige- The brunette screams as she goes after the English woman.

After chasing her for several blocks, Stephanie manages to reach her, taking her arm.

-Listen to me little girl- Stephanie says -You can spend the rest of your life depressing yourself for your conditions or doing something about it.

-What else can I do about it?- Paige says.

-Be happy- Says older woman -You should give him this in person- Stephanie takes the small paper out of her pocket.

-He doesn't know- Paige takes the paper in hand.

-If you have the guts to tell him this in person, you are welcome to my family- The brunette smiles at her and makes her way through the streets of Brooklyn.

-I think I need that chocolate- Murmurs the pale woman.

Carmella waits with nerves outside her apartment.

She had made a deal with the devil and she didn't know if she would come out of it alive.

The noise of a motorcycle is heard, making the blonde's skin bristle completely.

The man rading the motorcycle, parked in front of her and takes off his helmet and looks at her with a smile.

-Where is my friend?- Asks the blonde.

The man with long black hair says nothing, just passes her his helmet.

Carmella rolls her eyes and decides to take the helmet in her hands and then place it and ride on the back of the motorcycle.

Minutes had passed since Carmella had left her apartment and thanked that her cousin was apparently still asleep.

Suddenly, the speed of the motorcycle was decreasing.

Carmella takes off her helmet when she realizes they had stopped.

-The Brooklyn Bridge, really?- Says the blonde.

-Do you want to go up?- Baron says smiling.

-Emmm no, I have heels.

-I can carry you- Baron says with a shrug.

Carmella looks at him incredulously.

Baron continues to charge her until Mella moves away from him.

-What are you doing? I'd rather die than let you carry me.

Without more, the blonde begins to walk, it was a long way to the top.

The robust man shakes his head, amused at the way that woman behaves.

Minutes of walks had passed and the blonde felt her feet screaming for help.

The blonde stumbles, almost falling to the ground.

-Enough- Says the man -Jump on my back.

-First dead- Says the blonde rolling her eyes.

-If you insist- Baron says approaching dangerously.

-Fine!- Exclaims the female to keep him away from her.

Carmella climbs on his back and places her arms on his shoulders, feeling them very firm.

They had walked more than Carmella could imagine and that man had not even flitsh by the extra weight even once.

Each time they were higher, reaching the top.

Once they arrived, the raven-haired man left the blonde carefully on the floor.

-Wow, you have resistance- Says the surprised woman.

-I'm glad that at least something in me impressed you.

The blonde has to try not to smile.

Carmella looks away, observing the beautiful scenery of the city of New York.

-Do you enjoy the view?- Asks the man approaching her.

-I would enjoy it more if you weren't here.

-Ouch.

-Why did you kiss me?- Mella asks.

-Because I wanted to do it- The man answers.

-Only for that? No more reasons? You saw me close and you said "Oh a sexy blonde, let's kiss her since we have the chance"

Baron lets out a loud laugh that angered the female.

-It's not funny.

-It is if you refer to yourself as a sexy blonde.

-I am a sexy blonde- Carmella says trying not to laugh.

-Yes you are.

Baron approaches the blonde, placing his hands around her hips.

-You still didn't tell me- Carmella says felling a little awkward about the position.

-I kissed you because I wanted to do it, because I was close and I couldn't resist, because I wanted to do it a long time ago.

At the end of those words, the black-haired man cuts all space between them, joining their lips.

Carmella felt her knees shake.

Fuck Dean, fuck the fear, fuck everything, it was the best kiss she had had so far and she didn't want it to end.

After a few minutes they both separate due to lack of air.

-Well that was an answer- Carmella says making the tattooed man smile.

-I'm glad you liked it.

-Well, let's cut with this, what do you want in exchange for you to tell me where my friend is-

Carmella says.

-She is in Brooklyn, Corey saw her yesterday, she works in a bar near here- Says the dark-haired man.

-What? Corey? How does my boss know her? Can you take me there?

-We came for that- The man separates from her and extends his hand.

Carmella takes him by the hand without thinking twice and they both make their way down the bridge on the other side.

The blonde woman was about to complain about the long walk down the bridge when Baron stretches out her hand to enter a bar.

-Corey saw her here last week, he said she was working- Baron says.

-Well, are you going to explain why my boss knows her?- Asks the blonde.

-I asked him to do it- Confesses the dark-haired man -Corey told me that your cousin had moved with you and I remembered that you told me that your friend was engaged and... well...

-So you really are a stalker- Carmella interrupts him.

The man with long black hair just smiles.

Carmella smiles back and then go to the bar and ask for her future sister-in-law.

-Excuse me- Says the female calling the attention of a giant man -I'm looking for Paige, she is a really pale girl, with black hair... with pearcings and tattous on her heands... she can be a pain in the ass.

The giant man in front of her lets out a small laugh.

-She left- Says the man.

-What? Where did she leave?- Asks the annoying blonde.

-She said she went home.

———————————————————————

Nikki opens her eyes to find nothing but darkness.

The arm around her waist prevented her from getting out of that bed.

The brunette had tried more than once to get out of there, but the stubborn Samoan pressed her back down his naked body.

-Don't leave me- The man whispers in her ear while gently stroking her thighs.

Nicole felt so good at his touch, but she couldn't enjoy it, not if she knew that man was not hers.

-Okay thats enough- Nicole stands up furiously -Get out of my bed.

Roman, who apparently had woken up with a frown.

-What happened?- Asks the confused man.

-You happend Roman, you and your stupid wines and flowers and body and kisses and...- Nicole takes a breath -I don't want to see you anymore, so do me a favor and get out alone.

The dark-haired man still newly awakened and confused leaves the bed with clumsy steps to find his clothes that were scattered throughout the room.

Once dressed, the Samoan looks once more at the brunette beauty that drags him crazy, to find her with nothing more than a baggy shirt.

Resisting the temptation to want to go and take that shirt off her body and make her his once again, Roman left the room closing the door behind him.

-Does she know you're leaving?- Roman jumps when he hears a voice so close to him.

The Samoan turns to see a thinner version that the woman inside that room.

-Twins?- Asks the man.

Brianna laughs.

-If Nicole doesn't call you back... I'm available.

Roman frowns his eyes at the words of the younger twin.

Brie lets out a loud laugh -I'm just kidding- She says raising her right hand -You wish, I'm married.

Without more to say, the youger twin takes a sip from the bottle of wine and enters her sister's room, who would surely need a hug.

Brianna may be drunk, but she knows when her sister needs her.
