The Mafia Boss’s Deepest Obsession Chapter Twenty-Five: Desperation
After taking a deep breath in, I make my way towards Vito’s waiting car, with each step that I would take, the more nervous I became. Seeing that my hands were full of my things, Vito leans forward in the car and opens up the door from the inside, where I simply send him a little smile as a thank you climbing in. “Hello Pequeño, how was work?” He asks with a smile whilst I place my purse down at my feet along with the cake that Shane had gotten me which was half eaten. “What is all of this?” He asks with a smile when I didn’t answer his first question, once I was fully in the car and closed the door, I look at him out of the corner of my eye. “The big box is holding the half-eaten cake that Shane brought me as a welcome back gift, whilst this box holds the cupcake that I brought for you. I know you said you were with a client all day, so you probably hadn’t eaten.” I explain holding up the little brown box which had been balancing on the cake box, the one that Shane had to catch bef
The Mafia Boss’s Deepest Obsession Chapter Twenty-Six: The Pact
Walking into my apartment, both Vito and I were dripping wet from the rainstorm we had decided to stand in, well, I stood in first and he followed. He’s going to have to get some kind of cloth to clean his car seat, the leather is also very wet from when we ran back into the car. I place my things to rest on the counter, the boxes of cakes a little wet too. “Hey, you never eat the cupcake.” I say picking up the little box I had gotten from the café and holding it in the air, Vito only smiles placing his coat beside mine to dry whilst taking the little box from me, my eyes going to the messy look of his hair due to the rain, I couldn’t deny that it made him look that much hotter. “I was a little too preoccupied.” He smiled pulling open the little box to find the double chocolate cupcake I had picked up for him before I clocked out, yes, I paid for it! “Do you not want some?” He asks with a little smile holding it up before he took a bite, but I just shake my head with a smile walking
The Mafia Boss’s Deepest Obsession Chapter Twenty-Seven: Game Plan
The sounds of the bin opening and closing causes me to jump awake from my sleep, my breathing fast and heavy as I looked around my bedroom as like the attacker which touched my bin was going to jump through my bedroom door and start attacking me! Once my brain had drifted away from sleep and I was no longer in a dream state which always fears the worst, I turn to the side of me where the space Vito lay was empty and the clock showing me it was 3am, why would Vito be walking the house at this hour? Thinking he may be having some trouble getting to sleep, I throw the covers from my legs and wrap my thin throw blanket around my naked body, it was freezing, and I don’t know if I feel comfortable walking about the house in the nude. After securing the blanket around my body, I make my way over to my bedroom door which was open ajar and walk down the hall and out into the kitchen, where Vito was sat at the table drinking what appeared to be coffee, well that isn’t going to help him sleep!
The Mafia Boss’s Deepest Obsession Chapter Twenty-Eight: Eggshells
After an inventive early morning workout with Vito, I wake up much later than usual due to me getting a later shift at work. When I rang Shane to tell him I was getting back to work, he insisted that I take things slow the next day so offered to take the opening shift, at first, I thought he was just being nice but after all the events of yesterday, I think I need the break. Brewing my own coffee around 10am, I allowed my thoughts to wonder as I looked around my empty house. A few weeks ago, my father would have been laying on the living floor after a full night of drinking, I’d have to be so quiet not to disturb him due to his raging hangover. Talking of my father, he is doing so well in the hospital and is healing wonderfully. He would have been home by now if it wasn’t for the alcohol, due to how badly my father sunk into his drinking habits, the withdrawals are really putting strain onto his body. The doctors explained to me that it would be much safer for him to wait it out in
The Mafia Boss’s Deepest Obsession Chapter Twenty-Nine: Secret Conversations
Once the flat white that he had ordered was done, he takes it with a smile telling me some of his friends may join him and proceeds to walk over to the one table right at the front of the shop by the window. This not only meant that he had full view of the entire café but outside too, why were more of his friends joining him, were they also police officers coming here to watch me? Most of my questions were answered when the certain person I had been questioned over yesterday, walks through the door with a smile on his face, mostly looking over at me. Instant panic begins to spread throughout my body in that moment, I played it dumb yesterday and acted as though I didn’t know Vito. Could I be arrested for lying?! I knew I once again needed to play dumb and hope that Vito catches onto what I’m doing. “Good morning, sir, what can I get for you?” I ask with a smile saying what I do to all the regular customers, Vito catches onto me seeming to act as though I didn’t know him where he sen
The Mafia Boss’s Deepest Obsession Chapter Thirty: Ominous Feeling
After handling some of the last of the customers and closing up the shop, I climb into Kevin’s car and begin to give him the directions for Shane’s apartment. I had only been there a handful of times before, one when Shane was throwing this huge party for his 25th birthday and a couple of times he’s forgotten something at work, and I’ve had to walk it back to him. I couldn’t shake the ominous feeling which hung in the air, it was as though deep in my gut I knew what had happened, but my mind just wasn’t catching up with it. I have a tendency of fearing the worst in any situation, so my mind was taking up the time that it wasn’t listening to my gut and begin to make up even worse scenarios in my mind. What if Shane fell down the stairs to his apartment and is currently laying on the floor unable to get up? What if Shane got into some altercation and is injured somewhere and needs our help? What if he crashed his car? There were so many different things going around my head, I began t
The Mafia Boss’s Deepest Obsession Chapter Thirty-One: Goodbye Friend
The police showed up within minutes where I was pulled away from Shane, I kept begging for them to call an ambulance to come and help him, but with each look of sorrow on their faces, I knew they could see it was too late, Shane was gone. I’m led outside of the apartment which was soon cornered off and swooning with so many police cars, Kevin was the thing holding me up as I walked down those same metal steps, it was as though my body wanted to drop at any moment. Off to the side of the carpark stood a patch of green grass, once I was safely away from the tarmac, I sit in my place and allowed myself to sob into my hands, which were still stained with Shane’s blood when I went to help him. I remained in that spot for what left like a lifetime, the cries of what I had saw slowly slipping away as I sat with a dull expression on my face. It was as though I had cried all of my feelings away, I was numb in a sense as I watched the entire world go around in a blur-like sense. The police ha
The Mafia Boss’s Deepest Obsession Chapter Thirty-Two: The Plan
Vito soon carried me in his arms from the street and over to his car, continuing to reassure me that all was going to be okay as we headed for home. But it was as though somebody repeatedly clicked pause on my emotions, there are times I’ll break down and cry whilst others, I’m sat silently not being able to feel anything, completely numb. Getting into the house and Vito helping me to even get into some dry fresh clothes, I lay alone in bed staring at the wall in front of me, Vito had stepped out into the kitchen to get something to eat whilst telling me to get some rest. I won’t deny that I was exhausted, I had rushed around all morning setting up the café, having to deal with it alone and if that wasn’t tiring enough, I walked into my best friend's apartment and found him dead. With all this stacked up, I should find it easy to drop to sleep and forget about all my problems whilst in my deep slumber, but my brain was preventing me from even so much as drifting. Every time that I w
