All Chapters of The Mafia's Queen: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Jessica’s POV College equals early mornings, and early mornings equal shitty Jessica.I scowled at myself in the mirror, my attempts to clip my bra on were not cooperating. Normally, I am good with this, but life has a habit of pushing me off on the most crucial days.I hurriedly pulled on my short skirt and then lunged on my crop top after finally clipping the bastard on."Jess, hurry up!" From behind my door, Warren shouts."Okay!" I respond.I sprayed on some perfume before slipping on my white Nikes. I double-checked that my MacBook was inside my bag and then zipped it up and walked out the door.I dashed down the staircase, stumbling a few times but making it down safely.Warren stood outside the front door, his phone in his hand. When I got close enough, his attention was drawn to me, and he tucked his phone away, replacing it with his keys as he turned around and headed outside."Bye, Mum and Dad," I shouted through the quiet house and without waiting for their reply I closed

We stood until it was down to three, then hollered until it was down to two, then one, and the cars raced by the girl like a blast of wind.Music blared from the speakers, and people shouted and clapped for them.As she bit into her burger, Adele cheered from beside Warren, her feet hopping up and down on the concrete. I laughed at the sight and returned my attention to the vehicles.Dominic drove with intensity and composure as the dark blue approached the slick black."Fuck, he's good," Edward mumbles, his eyes wide and observant watching the sleek black car."Right!" Warren agreed as he sipped on his milkshake.My gaze followed the cars around another bend, where the dark blue caught up to the black and was just edging past it, but as they took yet another corner, the blue car had dropped away, and the black flew past it and right through the black and white chequered stripe on the road.Everyone else, including myself, grinned and stood, clapping loudly and cheering for Dominic's

Dominic had parked inside a building parking lot, and he told me he owned it. We soon found ourselves on the bustling streets of New York City.Lights flickered across the buildings, while the sun was setting, causing the orange rays to reflect on the structures.The streets were crowded as usual, and we strolled side by side, his tall figure towering over everyone in his path. As we proceeded, people separated away from us, giving us a clear route to follow.I tapped Dominic's arm, directing his attention to me, my eyes landed on the familiar green sign that read 'Starbucks.'"Do you mind if we go?" I pointed to the cafe, and he nodded and took my hand in his, guiding us there.Tingles ran up my arm, his touch was cold but warm against mine. We entered, and unfortunately for us, the queue was extremely long, causing me to sigh glumly.Dominic's demeanor was blank as usual, and his posture appeared tenser than it had been in the car as we stood side by side in line.I delicately tappe

"I'm not going to fuck him straight away. Were friends." My words amused her, and she burst out laughing, causing some people passing to stare at us strangely.She grasps my arm lightly and shakes her head."That's absurd, Jess. Y'all can't just be friends, the way you look at each other is just..." She trails off staring into space as if trying to find a word for it, her eyes light up and they go back to mine. "It's just, love."It was then my turn to laugh, god this girl came up with such ideas."Adele, I hardly know him and he hardly knows me, and he's technically my father's business partner. How could it possibly be love?"She just smiles and brings her cup to her lips, "Maybe not yet, but it will be, trust me."I sigh dejectedly and finish the last of my drink. Warren and Edward had taken off without noticing it until now."Just don't tell the others about it," I tell her, and she nods giving me a serious stare."You know I wouldn't, it'll be strictly between us." She smiles and

Jessica’s POV The station was a ten-minute walk from Central Park. I led both of us there. It wasn't too late, it was just ten at night, and the park closes at one.It was one of my favourite locations in New York, and I couldn't believe he hadn't been there. It was simple but beautiful.I stroll us around the area and straight into the park, passing through skating rinks, meadows, and normal trails until I locate an empty location for us in the popular Sheep meadow.We come to a halt in the center of the field, where the grass is freshly cut and fresh, allowing me to let go of his cold hand and sit down on the dry grass.I raise my eyes to him and pat the spot next to me, and he comes down and sits.Once he's comfortable, I lay myself out on the grass, leaning my head in his lap and gazing up at the sky.He leans back on one hand while the other reaches my hair, pulling stray hair away from my face and running his fingers through it softly.The fresh breeze crosses our skin, I smile
