Stalked by the Mafia Boss

Korina hid the frying pan behind her as she tiptoed to the door with Daniella following her.

“You can’t use that on a ghost.” Daniella wisphered, “It would pass right through him.”

“What does his ghost want?” Korina asked shakinly, “I didn’t kill him.”

“Well, I guess ghosts don’t care.”

“Hello.” The voice called again banging on the door, “Is anyone there?”

They were very close to the door now, “You open the door.” Korina wisphered to her best friend,”And immediately you do that, amma turn and whack the fucker in the face.”

“Wait.” Daniella said, “If he’s actually a ghost, he would just pass through the door right? And how did he know where you live?”

“Just open the door Dan.” She took a deep breath and tightened her hands around the pan handle.

Daniella opened the door swiftly.

“Hel…” Korina didn’t spare a glance or wait for him to finish, she swung the pan and hit him hard in the face.

“Ahh! What the fuck?” The person fell to the floor screaming.

“Yes!” Korina jumped in victory.

“Uhmm.” Daniella looked at the man squirming on the floor in pain, “Korina, I don’t think that’s who we think it is.”

The man clutched the ice pack to his head scowling, “Ouch.” He grimaced as the bruise absorbed the brutal coolness of the ice.

“So you are a plumber?” Daniella asked.

“Yes.” He growled, “And I came to inspect the apartments on this floor. There was a leakage complaint.”

“So, korina.” Daniella turned to her, “Did you know a plumber was coming?”

“Yes.” She nodded, she felt totally foolish at the moment.

“Why couldn’t you guess that maybe it could be him and not a ghost.”

“A ghost?” The man asked perplexed looking at both girls, the ice pack still tightly pressed to his face.

“Well I forgot.” Korina defended herself ignoring the man’s question.

“And then you call me the forgetful one, hmm!” Korina rolled her eyes at her cousin and faced the man.

“Look sir.” She began, “We… uhhh… i… the fi…” Korina blabbed incoherent nonsense, “Gimme a minute to think of something to defend myself.”

Daniella watched her cousin wide eyed as she stood up and walked to the kitchen mumbling to herself.

The plumber stared at both girls unbelievably, what in the world? Were they crack heads?

“You see sir.” Korina came back minutes later, “I had every right to do what I did but then you turned out to be the wrong person, so you…”

“I think what she means to say is that we are sorry.” Daniella glared at her.

“Yes, we are sorry, we are both sorry, especially her.” She pointed at Daniella.

What? Daniella stared at her cousin baffled, especially me? Really?

“It’s okay girls.” The man stood up, he dropped the ice pack, “I better get going, it’s obvious you don’t need plumbing services.”

“Yea.” Korina stood up too, “I ain’t got no faulty pipes or leaks here.”

The man opened the door, waved them bye and walked out.

“Gosh Korina.” Daniella said as soon as he walked out, “you almost killed that man.”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“You fucking said it was Jeffrey’s ghost.”

“I said so?” Daniella asked pointing at herself, “No, you said so.”

Korina was about to retaliate when they heard a knock on the door again.

“I swear it’s his ghost this time.” They both said.

Korina grabbed the pan and she and Daniella walked to the door in their usual pattern.

Daniella opened the door and without looking again Korina immediately swiped attacking the man’s face, “Die scum! Die!” She chanted.

“Yes! Go girl! Hit him.” Daniella cheered, “Hit the fucking prick.”

Korina raised the pan and gave him one last hit on the back smirking as he yelled.

“Now let’s look at his stupid face.” Korina said and both she and Daniella looked down, their faces paled in shock and remorse on seeing who it was.

“Argh, fuck!” The man groaned, “It’s me the plumber, I came to take my tool box.”

The walk was getting too long and Korina was beginning to regret ever agreeing to go out with Daniella and not taking the car.

“It’s just a stone throw.” Daniella had said when they were leaving the house but to Korina it was like she was going hiking in the woods.

“Are we there yet?” Korina asked again looking at her watch, “You know I could kill you.”

“You can’t kill me, you love me.”

“Where exactly are we going?”

“Actually we are…”

“Uh, uh…”

“I don’t know where I am… where we are going.”

“What in the hell do you mean?” Korina glared at her.

“I wanted to go for a walk.”

“And…”

“I wanted to go for a walk and I wanted you to come along, if I had told you it was a walk, you wouldn’t have come.”

“What colour do you want your casket?”

“What?!” Daniella asked feigning innocence.

“What colour do you want your casket?” She asked again, “You little wretch.” She lunged towards her cousin who dogded and began running.

Korina followed sprinting after her chasing her down the streets of New York.

“You can’t catch me!” Daniella screamed turning back to see Korina was fast on her heels, she quickened her pace.

“When I get my hands on you, I will roast you on a stake.” Korina screamed at her cousin hastening her steps.

The people on the streets gawked at the two adult girls chase each other, certainly they were sure they had gone nuts. But the girls didn’t mind the stares, they continued running, laughing even as they did so, it turned out to be fun.

They stopped to catch their breath at a point and Korina seized the opportunity. She reached out carefully grabbing Daniella’s neck and trapping it within the crook of her arm squeezing playfully.

“I am sorry! I am sorry!” Daniella croaked and coughed, “I give up, sorry bitch.”

“Next time, you would truly be sorry.” She released her and let her catch her breath before landing a light punch to her abdomen.

“Fuck you.” Daniella spat flipping her off as she crouched cradling her stomach.

Korina laughed.

“Let’s get something to drink.” She and Daniella walked to a small stall that sold smoothies and burgers.

“Good evening.” Korina and Daniella greeted the ederly woman.

“Evening.” The woman replied with a wide smile, “How can I help you guys?”

“Uhmm… we would take two cups of smoothie and two burgers.” Korina said pulling out some change from her purse, “Daniella what are you doing with my phone?” She asked seeing Danille operating it, she didn’t know how and when she took it.

“Cole just texted.” Daniella said, tapping on the phone.

“Here you go.” The woman stretched out her hands handing to Korina two wrapped burgers and cups of smoothies in paper bags.

“Thank you ma’am.” Korina collected them and paid.

“What did he say?” She asked as she handed Daniella her snacks and dug into her burger.

“He’s asking to hang out Saturday night.”

“Well, give me let me text him back later.”

“Never mind.” Daniella said, “I already did that.”

“You said no right?” Korina asked her, “you know I am not in the mood to see nobody.”

“Nahh…” Daniella shook her head, “I

said yes.”

“You fucking what?!” Korina screeched causing them to stop dead in their tracks, “The hell would you do that for?”

“You have to go out with this dude.”

“Fuck no.”

The phone beeped, “Oh look, he texted back already.” Daniella said, “He said see you Saturday night, with love and kiss emojis, awwwnnn…” She said making a puppy face.

“Give me back my phone.” Korina dragged it from her with force, “I will kill you, I mean it this time.” She threatened, empty threats as usual, “So freaking nervous.”

“Chillax babe.” Daniella rubbed her shoulder taking a long sip from her drink, “You got a date not an exam.”

Korina rolled her eyes, fucking great, guess I got another date.
