I was diagnosed as a kid, which is pretty rare, actually, and only because they knew to look for it. When I was young, I could do a lot of things I can’t do now. And there are things I can do now, that I probably won’t be able to do in a few years from now. I don’t know what will happen between us, but you should be prepared.”Dante shook his head slowly. “I’m not going anywhere.

restraining order?
Helping Mr. Gang Leader.Chapter 32: restraining order? .“How did they take it? Me being here.”Dante lifted himself to sit on the countertop, but jumped down the second Gianna swatted at him with an angry expression on her face.“So, you’re one of those cooks,” Dante said merrily.Gianna told him, “Yes, I’m that rare breed of cook who doesn’t want another person’s butt where I’m going to put the ingredients that I’ll cook with, seriously who does that?. Will the wonders never cease?”.More than once Gianna had been told that her sarcasm and aptitude for unfunny jokes would be something that ended up alienating people. For years Gianna had tried to curb her thoughts, soften her reactions, and always, always, think before she ended up speaking about something.But there was something to be said for Dante who didn’t seem upset by her comments in the least. In fact, he seemed to find them delightful.The evidence was staring Gianna in the face as Dante turned his nearly naked body to

people who aren’t invited are here
Helping Mr. Gang Leader.Chapter 33: people who aren’t invited are here .“This isn’t funny,” Rio pressed, and there was such ferocity in his words. “The last I heard on pain of death we were ordered to stay away from this princess.”“You’re a jerk,” Gianna said dully.“And if we did go near her,” Rio continued, turning his full attention to Dante, “we’d essentially better pack up and leave town. And now you two are having pajama parties? Am I violating the restraining order? Should I leave and maintain a hundred feet of distance?”Dante got to his feet, shoulders squared. “If that’s the kind of attitude, you’re going to have, I suggest you leave.”“I want clarification!” Rio argued. “Am I supposed to watch out for the doctor, or am I supposed to avoid her? Are you busy being emotionally constipated about your feelings, or have you wised up that a relationship is not what you need right now?”“And I suppose you want to tell me what I need,” Dante said back, furious.Rio shook his he

No goodness of the heart.
Helping Mr. Gang Leader.Chapter 34: No goodness of the heart. . “Are you sure you don’t want at least one of us to go with you?” Angelo asked, straightening the collar on Gianna’s shirt.“Maybe we should all go,” Enzo said, looking indecisive. “We should present a united front.”Angelo shot back, “But we don’t want to scare anyone off.”“Guys,” Gianna tried.“Here,” Enzo said, thrusting a huge packet of paperclipped and stapled sheets of paper in a manila folder to Gianna. “This is our most comprehensive report to date, going back six months, encompassing everything from our financial data, to our projected expectations for the coming year.”Angelo’s fingers dug too tightly into Gianna’s collar. “Make sure you talk about what the neighborhood was like before we came along.”Enzo nodded almost frantically. “Sell the homicide rate and violent crime statistics like a virgin in a brothel.”Gianna’s head cocked as she gave him a look. “Did you just …”Enzo blushed. “Sorry.

Gianna wasn’t completely naïve.
Helping Mr. Gang Leader. Chapter 35: Gianna wasn’t completely naïve.. Chase withdrew his pocketbook, and from that came a crisp looking check.“This,” he said, sliding it over to Gianna, “is the firm’s way of thanking you for doing your part to better Sangrid.”Victoria nodded at her, and when Gianna picked up the check and peeked at the number on it, she tried not to look too startled. It was a more than nice donation.“If the trouble at the firm leaks,” Chase continued, “we ask that you give a few interviews about what the money means to you. Paint us in a good light, will you?” He gave the first sign of an awkward smile. “I promise you, the firm does good work. Most of us are trustworthy and hardworking. A few bad eggs have attempted to spoil the whole dozen, but that doesn’t mean we’re all the same.”Careful Gianna put the check in her own wallet for safe keeping, and she assured Chase, “That won’t be a problem.”“And,” Chase said casually, “we can talk at a further date about

Saint Luke charm
Helping Mr. Gang Leader.Chapter 36: Saint Luke charm . Dante’s grandmother leveled a finger up at Dante threateningly. “You bring this beautiful girl into my restaurant. She is a doctor. She likes to cook. And you tell me she won’t be my daughter-in-law?”With dozens of people surrounding them, and chatter loud in the noodle house, Dante smiled sweetly at his grandmother and said, “I really like her, Granny. She likes me. How about we don’t rush things so maybe there’s a chance of that in the future?”She put her hands on her hips, considering his words for a second, then told Gianna, “You come and see me when you want to cook.” She called back to the kitchen to get started on their order, then told Dante, “The lion who waits for the noon hour, misses his chance with the gazelle which frolics in the morning dew.”She shuffled off and Gianna asked, “What is that supposed to mean?”It looked like Dante’s face must have been hurting from how hard he was smiling. “I think she’s just te

one daughter squandering his medical degree and another running down by the docks no doubt with degenerate hoodlums
Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 37: one daughter squandering his medical degree and another running down by the docks no doubt with degenerate hoodlums. “I suppose I have you to thank for your brother’s growing disobedience.”Once, Gianna had thought herself a dutiful daughter. She had done as she was told, over performed in school, become a doctor, and withstood all the seemingly endless criticism her father had for her as she became an adult and started to make her own choices.Six months ago, Gianna wouldn’t have dared to contemplate ducking out of the scheduled lunches she took with her father regularly.But now?Truly for the first time in her life Gianna had thought long and hard about using her condition to feign sick, cancel on her father, and go spend time with Giovanni or Dante, or Ezekiel. Not to mention Jovani, who of all of Mariposa Gianna found herself falling into a natural ease with as the weeks passed.Gianna would have rather endured Rio, even.“Giovanni is an a

a great price to save the only son he has
Helping Mr Gang Leader.Chapter 38: a great price to save the only son he has .“I won’t accept this,” Gianna’s father said sternly. “Your brother will give up this foolishness, he will go to college and study the material of my choosing, and I won’t hear of this again.”Curiously, Gianna asked, “How do you plan on achieving this?” There honestly wasn’t much, if anything, in the world that she thought could make Giovanni fall in line.The bigger issue was that Gianna had most certainly started out thinking that Mariposa was just a thuggish group of children, running around and causing mayhem for the fun of it. But a decent amount of exposure to them and what they did, not to mention the fact that Gianna was slowly starting to fall head of heels in love with their ridiculously handsome leader, produced a completely different picture.Mariposa was different. They weren’t like the other gangs that relished in violence and needless trouble through intimidation and worse. They wasn’t po

Rio and Gianna
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 40: . The bus rumbled on, and with shaking fingers Gianna called the clinic next. She was going to be a little late … or a lot. And she couldn’t bring herself to care. Because as much as she loved the clinic, and had given it her heart and soul, Giovanni was the most important person in the world to her. And Gianna would not let their father use Giovanni. It was the first time Gianna was actually going to Giovanni’s apartment. She had been to Dante’s a couple of times, and she’d also gone to the apartment that Jovani shared with Ezekiel. From the outside, as Gianna moved swiftly towards the front door twenty minutes later, Giovanni’s apartment looked almost identical to the other’s. There was the same white door, the same blue trim, and the same well-kept patches of greenery that gave the apartment buildings splashes of life and color. Her impatience got the best of her at the foot of the stairs that led up to Giovanni’s second floor apartmen
