And it's just the two of us. Are you in or not?" I asked her. "If you know how much I hate the lady called Hannah, you wouldn't ask me this." "Good, let's get started. " Emily. Hearing everything Isabella has just said crushed me deeper than anything I have ever imagined in years. Is he in love with my ex-best friend? Was it not recently he said he loves me? Was it not recently he confessed how much he adores me, how he missed me, was it not recently he was asking about his sons? I cleaned my eyes as the tears kept pouring out like a river of tears. "Leonardo, you said you loved me. What changed?" I sobbed and pulled at my hair so hard. As if my boys knew I was in agony, they started crying as if they knew I wasn't fine. "Boys, your dad isn't nice to me. He's breaking my heart really bad." I said to them, I wasn't even aware when Their nanny came in to drop them on the bed. I just hope I ain't slipping into depression at all. "He left me for my best friend, boys, based on

"I don't know, but at some point when we were talking earlier I thought you didn't love me anymore, and when you confirm it's me I felt so jealous and heart broken. I.." I couldn't continue, and I kept looking at his face. "Do you wanna get out of here?" He asked after staring at me for a very long time. "Yeah. Your place." I whispered. He drove in a rush to his place, we kept stealing glances at each other, as he held my hands so tight. I was getting so wet under his stares, and I feel he knows, and the fact that he's hard was so obvious, we hold hands as we got down and even in the elevator to his penthouse He opened the door to an entirely different room as we entered his house and shut its door. It's like a suite and really beautiful. He drops his car keys on a glass table staying near the wall at the entrance and grabs me by my waist as he leans me against the door. His lips taste mine and I kiss back. He hastily shrugs off my jacket as it drops to the floor. I wrap my arms

"Oh thanks man" I quickly thanked him and walked in. Dad was the only one remaining in the dining room, he hadn't touched his food. "It's about to go down." I muttered more to myself, As I greeted him. "Ciao papa." "Sit your ass on that chair E ascoltami" (and listen to me.) I knew where the hell this conversation was leading to, I definitely know that so far the drug business is involved, and if I happen to be a male, they would want me to get involved. I have always wanted my sister to do it. Aside from being the legitimate child of the family, she is a very reliable and strong hearted person. I swear that girl is ruthless and dauntless. She would eat with the devil and feed him poison without blinking, she would even march out of a crime scene like it's her living room without being ever traced to her. "PapI " I called, trying to steady him. "Whatever happens, remember your health comes first. You can only solve whatever problem you have if you're healthy and not on sick be

She stared at me, not replying, then whispered "I love you Romeo" and then hung up immediately. Wait. What! She said she loves me? I froze up straight away. I couldn't do anything. Goosebumps filled every inch of my skin up. And I stared at nothing in particular my heart rate was so unbalanced. My hands were shaking so bad and I am sure if I get to do anything at the moment, I wouldn't be able to do it perfectly. "I love you baby girl. I swear. I love you so fucking much. I love you more than I ever love anyone. Fuck." I kept mumbling to myself. I feel a burst of sweetened emotion run through me as I try to imagine how I would react when I meet her and she says the actual words to me. My ringing phone distracted my attention, breaking my smile. "Hello." I said as I picked up. "Aren't you coming home? There's a celebration going on, and it seems incomplete without you." "Nah. I ain't supposed to be there. I am not meant for the Mafia, Martina." I replied. "Get your fucking as

"Hello!" She waved in my face, snapping me out of my train of thoughts. "You're done?" I asked her. "Yeah. What were you thinking of, that you didn't even hear what I was saying since?" "Be my girlfriend," I uttered without thinking at all. ★★★ What the heck did I just do? What the fuck did I just do? How would I just rush it like that? God! "What?" She asked after staring at me for a while. "Nah. I um. It's nothing, Emily. You should dress up; I will be waiting outside." I chickened out. "Romeo!" She called. "Yeah." I couldn't look her in the face; her feet became so beautiful all of a sudden that they fascinate me. "What did you say earlier?" She asked. "I umm." She placed her hands on my cheeks, stopping me from talking. "Romeo, look at me." She whispered, and we both stared at each other, and my mind kept beating so bad. My mind was telling me I messed up already. Because I am sure she's thinking of how she would say no and not hurt my feelings, I knew it. I am rushing
