Love In The Mafia (book 1)

chapter 4

I wake to the sound of my stupid alarm for school. Marco is gone but my phone was plugged in and was full charged. I didn't want to get up, but I had school and I wanted to see Olivia. So I pull back the covers and slid out of the bed. I didnt have anything I need for school or any clothes considering I was just taken from the party last time and wasn't planning on that.

Shit i didn't even know where my stuff went, I left it in the bathroom last night but it wasn't there when i looked inside. I take a big sigh and walked out of the double doors and walked to the kitchen. I didn't know where it was so i kinda just kept walking the way i came. I finally made it and inside was a cook, Marco, Carlo, and some other people I didn't know. Marco looked amazing, he was wearing a pair of joggers and no shirt. He had tattoos ruining up his arms, back, chest, and on his v line. I could tell that the tattoo on his v-line was his mafia symbol but I'm sure he didn't actually need it because everyone knew who he was. He looked like he was carved by the gods. He had a scar on his chest and some on his back. The one on his chest was small but it looked like it was deep.

"Jasmine, as much as I love you staring at me, you could at least say hello first." Marco said with a smirk on his face.

I looked around to see everyone staring at me. There was a seat next to the only girl there and it was between Marco and her, so I sat there in between them at the Island. The girl was pretty, she had brown curls and big brown eyes, she was mixed so I dont think she's Marco's sister.

"Hey! I'm Layla. I'm one of Marco's sister, we have different moms and dads but his mom kinda adopted me after my family died." She said smiling at me and offering me her hand.

"Hi, I'm Jasmine." I took her hand and she pulled me into a hug.

"Yeah i know, we all do. Your a lot prettier than what people described, like a lot prettier. I have see you got my clothes that i gave to Carlo to give to you, I wanted to give you them but he wouldn't let me. " she said after letting go of me. She looked over at Carlo and I bet they are together or there's something going on between them. Carlo didnt speak he just looked at her and locked eyes with her, she smiled at him.

There's definitely something going on with them. Layla is shorter than me but not by much, she has mid-length hair, long lashes like me and full lips. The cook handed me a bowl of cereal. I ate it and was silent but Layla was talking to Carlo and Marco was talking to a guy thats name was Ambrose. I think Ambrose was his friend too but I wasnt sure. After I was done I put my plate in the sink and then sat back down. I cleared my throat to get their attention before speaking.

"I need to go back home to get my stuff and I also have school in 30 minutes and have nothing to wear and no school stuff." Marco stared at me before looking at Layla. Layla stood up before speaking.

"Okay. I'll let you wear something of mine for now and we already got you some new school stuff. Marco will pick you up after school and take you home to get your stuff and see your sisters. Come with me I'll show you to my room." She started to walk out but before she did she push Marco to the side. I took one last glance at Marco before quickly following her.

We walked up the say stairs as I did yesterday and walked down a hall. She room was only a couple rooms away from Marco's. She had double doors as well and her room theme was a cream color with ligh pink and green. She had vines going up and down her walls. She had a king size bed like Marco and had a walk in closet. She told me to take a seat and she walked into the closest.

It only took her about five minutes to pick me out something, she handed me a pair of jeans that had holes in the knees and simple black shirt. She handed me a pair of white Nikes and a jacket. Layla definitely has style and she definitely picked me out something I would like. She pointed to the bathroom and told me to get changed.

While I changed I talked to her through the door, we had a lot in common. Hell, we even had the same bra size and shoe size. I knew already that we would be close. She told me that there was one other woman in this house and that the rest were men. The other girl's name is Maylie, she's an Assassin and she didn't like men only woman. Layla said that I would probably like her and that if I see any other women that they are probably hookers and that I should stay away from them unless I want an std. Layla said that I probably won't see Maylie unless its dinner or I'm training. I stepped out of the bathroom and Layla looked pleased at her work.

She hooked her arm with mine and we walked out down to the kitchen where we meet with a bookbag and Marco in a suit. Marco Instantly met my eyes and walked forward, he handed me my new bag but he let his hand linger on mine for a few seconds more. Layla cough to get are attention, Marco looked mad but he didn't say anything, Layla looked proud for pissing him off.

"So how am I getting to school?" I said before they  did anything.

"Ill take you, Mio caro." Marco said in a deep, sexy voice. (My darling)

"Okay but we should be leaving." Layla took me into a hug. I never really got hugs at my home, my mom hugged me but then she left and me and my sisters fell apart. We said are goodbyes and headed out the door. Marco's car looked just like mine but  a deeper red. Marco walked over to my side and opened it for me and then he went over to his side and got in. I wanted answers for the questions that where forming in my head so I started to talk.

"Marco?"

"Yes, Mio caro?"

"Why does the most powerful man in the mafia want to marry me?" he looked over at me before looking back at the road.

"Why do you have to question it?"

"Because I don't want to end up dead."

"Oh my dear, you don't have to worry about that your a very smart woman and you are very well trained, you'll see it a mile beforehand if I wanted to kill you."

" Well if you want me for sex then just know your not getting it. I'm definitely not giving myself up for someone I do not love."

"Oh miele, if only you knew that this isn't about sex. I could have anyone I wanted if I just wanted sex." (Honey)

"Then what is the about?"

"You will see sooner or later, neonata." (baby girl )

"Tu es  un bâtard Marco." If he was gonna say shit I didn't understand than I will to. He looked over at me with a confused face, I smiled in the knowledge of my small victory. (Your a bastard Marco.) I Decided that I was just gonna be quiet and stare out the window because we were almost there.
