Wild Flower Ch. 08

For the last three years he had avoided anything that involved Angelo or the mention of Angelo in anything. It had really worked perfectly and now... now he was holding his fucking picture in his hands? He was really furiously and if he had hated Angelo before then what he felt couldn't be explained at all. He wanted to kill him over and over again even if he was dead.

Angelo was fucking smiling in that annoying smile of his. That stupid ugly face got Jack really furious. He actually remembered some of the painful moments with Angelo. He wondered why that picture had come to him after three fucking years of not seeing Angelo. Why did stupid Alicia have to show him that picture, he thought as he moved his angry eyes to the stupid old bitch?

"What the fuck is this?" He raised the trembling frame in the air.

"What?"

"Answer the damn question." He bellowed, striking fear into the life of the woman.

"It's Angelo's picture." Alicia couldn't understand why Jack could get mad because of his friend's picture. "You know who he is and..."

"How dare you show this to me?" He snapped. His breaths sounded like nothing Alicia had ever heard from him before. "Who do you think you are, Alicia?"

"I don't understand you." Alicia gasped. "What have I done? That's just a picture of...."

"Don't mention his fucking name in my house." He warned, pointing his shaky finger at Alicia. "I don't ever want to hear that fucking name. Do you understand me?"

Alicia didn't know what was wrong with having Angelo's picture. It wasn't like they were enemies or something. They had been best of friends when Angelo had been alive so she couldn't quite get the reason why Jack would...

"Do you understand?" Jack yelled.

Alicia trembled, dropping her eyes to the floor as she got even more confused. "Yes! I will do that... sir." Alicia was ready to do anything just to keep Angelo's memories in her heart. She didn't wanna leave the house for anything else on this earth.

"If I ever hear anyone in this house mention that cursed name in this house then that person will pay." He warned.

Alicia couldn't move her face to stare into Jack's eyes. She was too confused.

Jack on the other hand got irritated by two things that night. One of them was Alicia and the second was the ugly picture in his hands. He felt as if he was holding something really disgusting. In fury, he threw the frame to floor and the glasses broke into shards.

Alicia who had her eyes on the floor got surprised when she saw Angelo's picture lying among the shards on the floor. Her heart started pounding deeper in her chest. She couldn't quite believe that Jack had just done that to Angelo's frame.

With a deep sigh, Alicia tried to pick up the picture among the glasses but Jack quickly picked it. By the time she was raising her face to look at him, he was already ripping the photo into shreds. Alicia widened as tears built in her eyes. She got really hurt and felt as if Jack was ripping her skin. She had many of Angelo's pictures but ripping one of them was actually really painful.

After ripping the picture, Jack threw the shreds to the floor, stamping on the hard while he screamed in pain and anger.

"Fuck!" he yelled.

"No!" Alicia shook her head, looking straight at him. "Why would you do something like that to your best friend's picture? What did he ever do to you?"

"Shut up." Jack warned, pointing at Alicia. "Shut your trap."

"All he ever did was love you." Alicia said angrily. "All you are doing is hurting him and inflicting more misery on him. How do you think he will feel when he..."

"I don't give a fuck about what his feelings are." He chuckled bitterly. "I don't even care if he dies a second death. He is dead and nothing is gonna bring him back. Not even you."

"I can't believe how people turn." Alicia said angrily. "This used to be his house, his home. He used to love you and Gabriel but guess that was his mistake. Maybe if he had another friend and husband, he would have died peacefully but I think the greatest mistake he made was having a friend like you. You just pretended to love him but now your true colors are revealed. I expected you to have some shame but you have none. You took his husband, his money, his wealth, his companies and now you want to take his place?" She chuckled bitterly. "You should be ashamed of yourself, Jack. How do you think your parents would feel if..."

"Save that lecture for your children, bitch." He said harshly, trembling even more harshly. He couldn't believe he had been quiet while the old bitch told him all that. "You should know your place bitch and..."

"I know my place... sir." She got closer to him, clenching her teeth. "You may own everything that he has but you will never take his place in my heart or anywhere else. I don't care if I am a maid in this house. But I know that...."

"I have had enough of this shit." He warned. "I swear if not for one thing then I would have killed you with my bear hands." He warned. "Let this be the first and last time you will ever talk to me in that manner, bitch. I am warning you for the last time. I will make sure that you pay for it dearly should you continue like this."

He chuckled bitterly. "You bumped into me because of some stupid photo. Your children are not here and yet all you do is just move around with a curse's photo. You are such a stupid witch. And let me say this again," He got closer to her. "I don't want anything related to that stupid bitch in this house, okay?" He laughed when he saw tears building in the old woman's eyes. "Now get down and clean those broken pieces."

Alicia nodded slowly and knelt down on the floor. Jack left laughing as loud as he could.

"Angelo..." Alicia cried softly, looking at the pieces of his photos. "Just what kind of friend did you have here? Why is this even happening, my son?"

Alicia didn't like how things had been going on in the mansion lately. Ever since Gabriel and Jack got married three years ago, nothing was the same. Everything had changed especially Gabriel who used to be a sweet husband to Angelo.

"God, Angelo..."

***

"What took you so long?" Gabriel asked when Jack entered the room. He could see that Jack seemed really pissed. "I was actually waiting for you."

Jack hissed, moving closer to Gabriel. "I am really sorry, my love. It's just that stupid maid that always seems to get on my nerves. I am seriously getting tired of that bitch."

"I am sorry." Gabriel apologized. "You shouldn't be mad at her anymore. Forget about her and just think about something wonderful and sweet like our relationship. My love..." He gave a sigh of relief, getting up from the bed. "...I don't like seeing you this sad, you know. I really like seeing you smile when you are with me."

"I know that. But that stupid bitch is really annoying me and I don't appreciate it." He raised his voice. "She always..."

"I know that." Gabriel wrapped his arms around Jack, bringing him closer to his body. "But you have said she's a bitch and you know how old bitches are, my love." He kissed him softly on the lips. "Just let it go and be happy. You are with me right now and I love you so much. I don't think I deserve this from you." He gave a gloomy sigh. "Or are you also mad at me because..."

"Don't say that." Jack shook his head, looking deep in his husband's eyes. "You know very well that I can never ever be angry at you."

"Then why..."

"I am sorry." He grinned. "It's just that I was so mad at her that I didn't know how to control myself. But now... I won't be anymore. I will always be happy with you. I will never show you my anger, baby. I am truly sorry."

"It's okay." Gabriel planted a soft kiss on his lips. "You don't have to worry about anything, my love."

"Thank you for being so nice to me." Jack said. "I really love you a lot, my love."

"I love you too."

They both kissed and then sat on the bed together, still holding each other hands. Then they went and got changed into pajamas and slipped under the covers with their faces closer to each other as they both slept.

"Baby?" Gabriel called softly.

"Yes!"

"I was thinking about something great." He said softly. "I don't know if you will like it but I feel it is something that we have to do to have fun."

"You got me at fun." Jack smiled at his husband. "What do you have in mind?"

Gabriel took a deep breath. "I think we should go out this weekend and just have fun somewhere. It's really been long since we went out to have fun. All we do is just work and get tired all the time. I think it's about time we just went out somewhere. What do you think?"

"Are you serious?" Jack's eyes widened. "I think that's a great idea. I would really love to go somewhere where I can just sit down and relax the entire day. I think it is such a wonderful idea and I just can't wait, my love."

Gabriel couldn't mask the happiness on his face.

"Wow!" He gasped, feeling extremely happy. "I am so happy to hear that, baby. That means a lot, my love."

"Why didn't you think of that sooner?"

"Maybe it's because I was too busy with work." Gabriel said with a chuckle. "But now I am gonna spend time with you there."

"Hmm," Jack groaned. "Thank you so much for that idea. I know we will have a great time together. I am really looking forward to it. I can't wait."

"I am glad you are. But right now I think we should go to sleep."

"You are absolutely right. We should go to sleep."

Jack and Gabriel kissed goodnight and then held on to each other tightly. They were happy that night. Everything had gone just the way they wanted it to be go like. Now all they wanted to do was just sit, relax and enjoy some time together out of the mansion.

***

It was a beautiful and wonderful day. The weather was beautiful and then sun was just about right in the sky. It was neither too hot nor cold. It was just lovely, especially for a day at the pool. It was already afternoon and the day couldn't have gotten as wonderful as it was at that particular time.

Jack was sitting on a pool chair with two of his very best friends and partners in crime who he had kept hidden from Angelo. They were really good to him and he also loved them so much. There was John, a tall blonde guy and Joshua, an average guy who was equally handsome. Jack had invited them to come with him and Gabriel on their wonderful weekend out. They had chosen a lovely resort where it was not crowded. It was located on the outskirts of town and it was for the rich people only. Huh! Jack was living the life.

He was dressed in a dark blue euro swim wear with nothing on his chest.

"Seriously, you are a really lucky guy." John said, shaking his head. "I can't believe that you actually got married to Gabriel after all. This is really wonderful."

"Thanks." Jack said happily. "You have no idea what kind of life I am living right now."

"I can't even imagine it." Joshua chirped. "Just look at you. You are glowing, baby. You are living the life of a king with the man you love so much and a man that equally loves you."

"Hmm, I can't lie about that." Jack said happily. "The life that I live right now is really wonderful. I am rich... I am powerful... I have a husband that loves me... I have a wonderful home... I have companies and anything that I want. Seriously, what else can a guy ask for?"

"Nothing," John smiled brightly. "You have absolutely everything that you can ever ask. How I wish I was living your life."

"Don't worry." Jack grinned. "You are gonna get yourself all these things that I have, okay? I am sure that a rich guy somewhere will definitely date you."

"I hope so."

The three guys laughed together, enjoying their wonderful time. They continued talking until Gabriel came back. He was putting on a beautiful black square leg suit with a towel wrapped around his neck. He was looking lovely in his wet hair.

"Are you guys having fun?" He asked.

Jack chuckled happily. "I was having fun but now that you are here. I am sure that the fun will double." He laughed.

Gabriel chuckled and then sat on the pool chair closer to the one that Jack and his friends were sitting on. They started talking but mostly Jack's friends were asking Gabriel numerous questions that he found funny and interesting at the same time. He did his best answering those questions and they all were having great fun together.

Suddenly, as they were laughing, one of Jack's friends gasped and then moved his face forward.

"Oh my God," John gasped, moving his eyes forward. "It's him."

"What?" jack exclaimed, staring straight at his friend. "What are you talking about?"

"Look..." John pointed his finger.

When the three men followed where John had just pointed, they saw what John had actually been pointing at. It was the same man at the party. Once all of them saw that man, they couldn't tear their eyes away from him. He looked classy and elegant.

He was putting on a beautiful yellow tech suit which showed his wonderful body. He had a pure white towel wrapped around his neck. His entire body was sexy and lovely. It was completely hairless and beautiful. He was neither too fat nor too thin. He had the perfect shape. He looked feminine and his curves were amazing. It was almost as if he had hips. His ass was big and bubbly. In fact, all the people that were at that pool couldn't help but stare.

"Wow!" One of the men near Gabriel and Jack's chair whistled.

The young man had a wonderful pure skin. It was almost as if he didn't have any scar on his body. He was just too sexy. He had a Bluetooth on and it seemed like he was busy talking. Two of his guards were with him and they had a small bag which they were carrying, probably were all his things were kept.

He kept on coming nearer. He was walking elegantly as if he was on the run way. His voice was angelic and everything about him was just right. He had his hair tied in a twist in burn. His cologne could be smelt coming all the way from where he was.

"Okay, I will be home later." He said with a serious face. "You shouldn't worry about me. I can take care of myself. On the other hand, you should take care of yourself okay? I will be home. I just want to relax for a while." He stopped and waited for a while. "Maybe you should do that. I will see you later, okay."

The young man smiled and then removed the Bluetooth from his ear, handing it over to the guard who was beside him. Then he continued walking. He got closer and passed where Gabriel and the others were seated without even looking at them or even greeting them. They didn't know why they couldn't stop staring.

The young man went to an empty pool chair and elegantly sat there. Gabriel and the others watched as one of his guards took out a sprayer for sunscreen and started spraying on his wonderful body. When they were done, they gave him his sun glasses and then he lay on that chair with his guards standing still.

"Wow!" One of Jack's friends gasped. "Isn't he beautiful? I mean, just see the way he carries himself. I bet he is probably a businessman or a politician's son."

Jack felt a little jealous when he looked around and saw that everyone had their attention on that young man including his husband. He got a little mad. Why couldn't people give him such attention? Wasn't he that beautiful?

"Who is he?" He said harshly, shaking his husband slightly. Gabriel stopped staring and smiled at him.

"I don't know." Joshua said, still looking at the young man. "No one knows who he is or at least those that I have asked. I think he recently came back to the country about a week ago. Other than that, I have no idea who he is."

"Hmm," Jack said softly. "I bet he is just someone trying to make himself look important and catch all the attention."

"Are you serious?" John chuckled, shaking his head. "I am telling you that the guy is really important. He has been spotted with some of the most important businessmen in our country. Do you know what that means?"

"No!" He said harshly. "And I absolutely don't care about that. That doesn't even make him important. Maybe he is just a gay prostitute who deals with the important men in our society. You know how the world is today. Anything is possible today. Why else would he be found with only the important businessmen?"

"I highly doubt that." John shook his head. "He can't be that. I am sure he is a really businessman or a politician's son. He only meets those men in public places. He is wealthy and I just admire him a lot. I wish I could just be like him. Life would really be so great."

Jack couldn't believe he was actually hearing that from two of his friends. They were just admiring him a few moments ago and now they were admiring some ugly guy who wasn't even that beautiful. He was probably just a prostitute.

"Fuck!" He sighed, tearing his eyes away from that young man.

Gabriel on the other hand could see that his husband was really jealous. He could see it in his eyes although he wasn't able to say anything. But he had nothing to be jealous about. After all, he had wealth too and he was really handsome.

"Baby?" Gabriel cupped his cheeks, rubbing on them softly. "Are you okay?"

Jack smiled faintly. "I am absolutely fine. Why wouldn't I be?"

Hearing Jack's words, Gabriel smiled brightly and kissed him softly on the lips. "Do you want to get some air, away from here? We can go somewhere and come back later."

"No!" Jack said happily. "Why would I leave from here? I just want you to get me some juice and I think I might need some snacks too. Go and get us those."

Gabriel grinned. "Alright, I will go and get those for you. Excuse me."

Gabriel kissed Jack one more time and left. He came back a few minutes later with a waiter who was carrying a huge tray of exotic drinks and some beautiful snacks. He served them all and they dived in. They enjoyed their wonderful snacks while enjoying the exotic drinks they were having. They talked and laughed too. It was a great day. An hour passed and they were still enjoying themselves.

"Sir!" The guard said softly.

"Yes!" The young man said with a smile on his face. "What is it?"

"There is a call for you."

"Who is it?" He asked, rising from the chair.

"It's from the office."

"Okay." He extended his hand.

The guard put the phone in his hand and he answered, putting the phone on speaker. "Hello! What is it, Tanya?"

"Sir, there is a meeting with a client in the next one hour."

"What?" He gasped, chuckling softly. "I am not going to attend that meeting. I want you to cancel it as soon as possible."

"But sir," The woman's voice on the other end answered. "He is a really important client and I don't think that will be really good. He has been calling since morning and..."

"I am not coming to the company." He chuckled teasingly. "I am on my weekend out. I will not make it at the office. Tell him that I can meet him on Monday."

"But..."

"Okay. Bye." He cut the call.

Gabriel couldn't believe that the young man had just refused to meet with an important client. He wondered what kind of man he was. He had totally heard the conversation because the phone was on loud. It was really impressive. It seemed like the man was super rich to have cancelled a meeting with an important client. It was really surprising.

"I want you to video call, Mr. Gerald." The young man ordered.

"Yes!" the guard answered, getting out a beautiful tablet from the bag.

He quickly called the man and then held the tablet in front of the young man's face.

"Hey!" He smiled when it connected.

"Hi!" The man on the tablet said.

"I heard you wanted to have a meeting with me?"

"Yes!" The man said happily.

"Well! I am really sorry but I can't attend that meeting. As you can see, I am having a weekend out and I am relaxing. I don't think that meeting will be possible. Can you reschedule that meeting to Monday morning?"
