Innocent Love Of A Deadly Gangster

The couple turned around to look at the direction of the voice when their eyes stopped at a young man who had a pleasant smile on his face. His eyes were curved and he seemed really happy to see his friend.

He casually walked over to the couple and extended his hand to Jessica as he introduced himself, "Hello, sis-in-law. How are you? I am Zenifer, Steve's bro and business partner. Nice to meet you." He winked at her and gave her his most brilliant smile, that would win the heart of any girl. But Jessica seemed to be unaffected as she slowly extended her hand to shake with his hand before withdrawing her hand and keeping it around Steve's arm, looking like an obedient wife.

Steve smiled at her behaviour and said to Zenifer, "welcome back to the country, Bro. Let's go to our booked room and chat away there." He looked at him and his expressions clearly read- 'don't mess with my wife or...'

Zenifer'...'

Sensing the odd atmosphere Jessica urged both the friends to move to the room. Thet both agreed and they went to the booked room. They had just settled for a while when a waitress came in to take their order. Each one of them ordered their own dish and started to chat away about random things.

As they sipped on the wine, Zenifer asked, "When are you planning to host your wedding. I should definitely get an invitation. Let me tell you, Bro, you should surely give your wife a magnificent wedding after all she is one of a kind. And sis-in-law you should demand a huge wedding gift from my bro."

Jessica smiled at him and said, "We are planning to host the wedding soon and don't worry we will give you a special invite. After all you are Steve's best friend." As soon as she finished speaking the waitress walked in and placed all the eating stuff on the table. She bowed down and left after all food was on table.

"hey, sis-in-law, who is going to design your wedding suits? I know a famous..." Zenifer suggested but his words were cut by Jessica, "no need. I personally made our wedding suits. They are almost ready."

"Whoa! Can I have a look at them?" Zenifer asked amused. But before Jessica could reply Steve replied sourly, "I guess I would be the first one to see the dresses. Anyway you could wait for a few days for the wedding ceremony to see the dresses."

Zenifer looked at Steve with narrowed eyes. They kept the same position for a moment only to break the staring competition when they heard the light giggles across them. Jessica could not help but laugh at their cuteness. It was sweet to have friends around them who were caring and lovely. Friends like these could make life sweet and sour at the same time.

Soon the atmosphere became more comfortable and the three of them went on with their meals. Talking, laughing, remembering, and bickering continued till the end.

Once the dinner was finished Zenifer bid them farewell and went off to his home. Steve and Jessica also went back to Steve's apartment where they were living for now.

Steve's apartment

When the couple arrived back home it was quite late. Jessica decided to wash up as Steve went to the study to deal with some doc.u.ments.

Jessica took her time in the shower and came out only after half an hour. Glancing at the clock she knew that Steve was still in the study and decided to deliver a glass of warm milk to him. She walked to the kitchen and them to the study.

She knocked on the door, which was answered by a soft 'come in'.

Inside Steve sat at the sandalwood table with a file in his hand. He looked up at the woman who walked inside with a glass of warm milk in her hand. He smiled slightly as he asked, "why are you not asleep? It is pretty late now."

Jessica carefully put the glass on the table as she looked up at him, "I thought about bringing you a glass of milk. I am used to sleeping late. It is okay. Do you have work to do? You should leave it to tomorrow. You should sleep so your body can recover nicely." She was no less than a nagging mom. Seeing her behaving like this Steve laughed as he glanced lovingly at her. In return he just saw her looking at him with her angry eyes.

He slowly got up from his place still giggling. He went up to her and cupped her alluring face with his hands. They were cold but felt nice on touch. "You are just like a nagging mom. *sign* I am filled with joy. My love loves me so much. I am satisfied." He said as he smiled seeing her now flushed face. She was embarrassed. She wriggled out of his hands as she pouted her lips cutely, "I am just caring for your health. How come I become a nagging mom for you now? I it not good to care for someone?"

His smile stretched on his face as he stared at her lovely face. He suddenly hugged her. "You are my most precious treasure. I know you care for me,I can feel your care. I just... I... I don't want you to get hurt and the reason for that to be me. Seeing you hurt makes my heart bleed." He softly kissed her forehead before cupping her face again. "Remember, you can never ever put yourself in danger for me. I can bear the pain but I promise that no one would be ever be able to hurt you even a single bit."

His eyes were locked into hers as she smiled. She lifted her hands to pulled down his head and planted a soft kiss on his head. "Go to sleep now. And don't worry too much. You would get white hair."

Steve's lips curled upwards as he said whispered to her in the ear "you go to sleep first. I have some work to do now... Hmm." Jessica nodded and pointed to the glass of milk on the table before slipping out of the room.
