A Force Love Contract With GANG LEADER

The girl seemed to get the message and followed him to the couch. She knelt down on the carpet beside him. She looked up to his face to see his reaction. Her eyes were like two clear ponds without ripples, faintly tantalizing.

Tristan pulled his tie to loosen it and asked impassively, “What can you do?”

The girl blushed and asked softly, “What do you like?”

Tristan didn’t reply but just looked at her and gave no hint.

The long silence made the air solid, and the tension increased. The girl sighed lightly and reached her hand to his belt but didn’t loosen it. Her hand moved down across the smooth fabric.

She had very nice hands. They were suitable for playing the piano. Of course, they were suitable for doing what she was doing now too.

When her hand moved to one place, it covered and massaged softly. At the same time, she raised her head. Her nervous eyes now relaxed and had some expectations, like the eyes of a cat, animated and mysterious.

Tristan felt his vision get blurry, and the girl’s face seemed to coincide with another one. He trembled a little, but the feeling soon disappeared. He looked closer and felt the same cat-like temptation. He heard himself asking, “What is your name?”

The girl opened her tender lips and said softly, “Bonnie.” And she replaced her hand with her lips and kissed it.

Max was a doer. The next day he started to look for a job online. With a letter of college admission and his persuasive introduction, he got a part-time job as an assistant teacher in a school.

After one week’s work, he got paid and used the money to buy a royal blue colored dress for Kate in the shopping mall close to the school he worked at. Kate was touched to get this “expensive” gift, but she could not help blaming him for being extravagant.

The hard-earned money turned into an impractical dress. But Max didn’t think much of it. He thought if he liked, he could take one more job or tutor some high school students on the side. But Max felt that his sister should wear nicer clothes at her age.

Jimmy called Kate and asked about her brother. He wanted to have dinner with them but then had to cancel their appointments twice for emergency tasks. It was not until school started and Max went to college that they finally could meet.

A few months had passed since Kate had last seen him. Jimmy had changed quite a lot. His face was tanned, and his eyes seemed sharper as if he could identify bad guys from a crowd with just a scan of his eyes.

Max was curious about his new profession and asked him a lot of questions. Jimmy replied to him with patience and added a couple of jokes his team made when handling the cases. Seeing him talking in high spirits, laughing heartily, Kate thought it was so good and that he was still the same with no difference.

When Jimmy went out to take a call during their dinner, Max said to his sister, “Jimmy is so much better than John. I agree 100% if he wants to be my brother-in-law.”

Kate gave a glance to the direction of the door and chastised him in a low voice. “What did you say! John has a girlfriend.”

“Then how about Jimmy?”

“I don’t know.”

“That is good then. You have a chance.” Max said.

“Stop it.” Kate looked depressed. “It is not possible.”

Max knew his sister and stopped smiling. “Sister, don’t belittle yourself. Anyone who gets you will see the good in you.”

Kate didn’t say anything. She thought her brother was young and full of dreams.

Jimmy came back after the call to see siblings exchanging a strange expression. He asked amusedly, “What are you talking about? You look mysterious.”

Max said, “Jimmy, can I ask you a question. Do you have…”

Before he could finish his words, Kate gave a hard stamp on his foot under the table, and the latter half of the sentence was replaced by an “ouch.” Jimmy was holding a fork in the air and asked, “Have what?”

Max rolled his eyes to Kate and continued, “…have ever killed a person?”

Jimmy was startled but soon understood and said, “Not so far, but probably could in the future. Who can tell? Being a criminal police, there is always a possibility for that.”

Kate showed concern, “Isn’t your job very dangerous?”

Jimmy smiled lightly and said, “I think it is OK. That is decided by the property of the job. I had prepared for this since the day when I decided to be a criminal police.”

Max looked to his sister, and she gave him a warning stare, so he had to bend down and attend to his food.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Kate was in a trance for a few seconds. She seemed to see a scene of a gangster film and the face in front of her was among the shootouts and fights… the food on the table became tasteless.

After dinner, Jimmy sent Max back to school and then sent Kate to her house. John said his relative had no plan to come back to this city in the near future and didn’t need the house for the time being.

It was good to have someone to take care of the house. And as his relative was rich, giving him rent would be an insult. So Kate kept staying in that house after Jimmy moved to his school dorm.

Kate had not seen Jimmy for a long time and had quite a lot to say to him, but when they were alone in the car, she felt the words just jammed in her throat like the traffic on the road.

The ticking of rain broke the silence. Looking at the swaying windshield wiper, Kate wished the rain could be harder, and the road could be longer. But the longest road would end somewhere, let alone the road to her house was not long at all.

Jimmy didn’t have an umbrella in his car, and so he pulled a uniform coat from the back seat and covered her head, “Cover with this, don’t catch a cold.”

Kate was wearing the sleeveless dress her brother brought for her, and her arms were a little chilly. She wanted to decline with thanks, but Jimmy made fun of her that the new dress was expensive and could not be stained. His uniform had to roll on the dirt very often anyway.

So Kate had to accept it.

When they said goodbye, she hesitated a second and said, “Be safe.”

Jimmy smiled. “Don’t worry about me. My grandma said she asked the psychic when I was a child and the psychic said I could always fall on my legs. Thus my mother agreed I could be the police.”

He grinned at Kate, and his eyes sparkled with pride. Maybe he was just making jokes to ease Kate, but it worked.
