Stalked by the Mafia Boss

Korina definitely knew this was coming, she knew he was gonna ask anyway, but it still came as a shock to her. She stared at him unable to give a reply.

“Sorry, I asked.” Cole said feeling really bad and nervous as he saw her staring without a reply, “Just pretend as it never came up, as if I never asked anything.”

“Why?” Korina asked, finally speaking.

“Why what?”

“Why do you want me to go on a date with you?” She asked, “Why do you want to go on a date with me?”

“Uhhhm.” He said scratching his hair, “Ever since we met, even though it has only been a couple of times, I took a fancy towards you and I have been meaning to ask you out but didn’t know how to put it. I was so close to asking for your contact at the hospital but I couldn’t. Hence I asked Daniella the last time we met and I talked to her and she gave me important details of you.”

“Typical Daniella.” Korina rolled her eyes.

“I would really love to take you out sometime.” He said, “Please?”

“I don’t know.” She said, uncertainty and confusion lacing her voice, “You should go.” She said standing up and moving towards the door.

“Okay.” Cole grabbed his coat and stood up, “Thanks for the warm reception.” He got to the door and opened it himself.

“I will think about it.” Korina said unsure of herself, what are you doing, she slapped herself mentally. she didn’t even know why she told him that, she guessed it was right at the moment.

Cole looked at her, shaking his head he brought out his card from his breast pocket.

“Please give me a call when you have thought things through.” He handed it over to her.

Korina collected it, “Yes I will.”

He nodded again, “Bye.” He exited the room and began walking down the hallway.

Korina shut the door behind him and crashed on the sofa alone with her thoughts.

“Cole asked me out.” Korina said and the juice in Daniella’s mouth came out in squirts.

“Ewww.” Both Korina and Anne said while grabbing tissues to wipe the juice off their bodies.

“What do you mean cole asked you out?” Daniella said, her words coming out rushed, “What is going on?”

“Who is cole?” Anne asked, “The Doctor?”

“Yes, he is the doctor.” Korina answers Anne, “And yep Dan, he asked me out.”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“What am I missing? How did it happen? Details! Details!” Daniella probed.

“Yea, tell us.” Anne said before taking a long sip from her juice.

“Well…” Korina began, “He was at my place 2 nights ago.”

“HE WHAT?!” Daniella stood up screaming, various heads in the restaurant turned towards them with questioning glances.

“Will you keep it down?” Anne hissed grabbing a hold of Daniella’s hand and pulling her down.

“Yea Dan.” Korina agreed rolling her eyes, “Keep it down.”

“You sneaky little hoe.” Daniella smirked twirling her hair, “You had a one night stand, huh?” She teased her cousin which got Anne laughing.

“I did not have a one night stand.” Korina argued.

“So what was he doing at your apartment?” Anne asked.

“Yea, k babes.” Daniella said, “What was he doing there? Giving you plumbing services?” She snorted.

They all erupted into loud laughter.

“You know we should tone it down.” Anne said as she noticed eyes on them.” We are beginning to irritate the public.”

Anne and Daniella stared at korina with rapt attention as she narrated the incident to them.

“So you gonna call call him?” Daniella asked.

“I don’t know yet.”

“Can’t believe you wanted to stay in the rain.” Anne scoffed.

Korina glared at her.

“You know babe.” Anne said, “I have said this before and I am saying it again, your life is more interesting and trilling than a movie.” She earned a harsh scowl from Korina which caused her to smile.

“Guys, what do I do?” Korina asked.

“Since I am an expert in these matters.” Daniella proclaimed rather proudly, “I would give you an advice, the perfect advice.”

“Really?” Korina faced her squarely, ” Miss expert, the last time you offered me advice I almost got killed.”

“Uhmmm… i.. s..” Daniella starmmered.

“What you gon’ say now, huh?”

“At least look at the bright side korina.” She mumbled

“What bright side?” Korina and Anne asked.

“You met Cole again and he might just be your soulmate.” She shrugged and both girls shook their heads at her.

“In my opinion.” Anne dropped her drink and scratched her head, ” From what you have told us, it seems Cole is a nice guy and you should give him a chance.”

“Hmm.” Korina hummed starting into space.

“And also fuck him.” Daniella added.

“Daniella!” They both screeched.

“What?!”

Korina looked at her phone screen as if missing something. It was night now, she was laying lazily on the bed. She wore a crop top and pyjamas bottoms, her hair strewn across the bed.

Weird, she thought as she went through her messages, real weird.

She found it strange that for about three days now, there wasn’t any message from her stalker.

Are you missing him? Are you missing the messages? She closed her eyes and massaged her forehead with her fingertips.

Was he dead? Was he sick? Do you care now?

She felt like shouting “stalker” to know if he was still watching her, to know if he still spied on her.

What is wrong with you? You should be happy he’s absent.

She wondered why she felt this way, she wondered if she felt some sort of attachment to his messages.

She sighed, stood up and walked over to her table.

She searched it putting things aside looking for Cole’s card.

She found it, taking the card Cole had given her, she picked up her phone and types in the number. She hesitated for seconds before pressing the dial button but did it anyway.

Cole nearly leapt off his seat when he heard his phone ring, he hoped it was Korina, he had been anticipating her call.

“Hello.” He said after picking up.

“Hey.” He heard korina’s voice and smiled.

“How are you?” He asked.

“I am good Cole and you?”

“I am fine.”

“So uhmm.” She said, “Cole?”

“Yes?”

“I would go on a date with you.”
