Mafia Love Tragedy (canceled)

Chapter 8: Lies, or rather the truth?!

Very slightly, Victoria subconsciously noticed in her sleep that she was shaken slightly and said softly over and over again:

>>Princess, wake up!<<

Gradually, she was able to place the voice. It was Gabriel. Carefully, to get used to the brightness, she opened her eyes. The first thing she noticed was Gabriel's face, which was looking at her with amusement. As she let her eyes wander around Gabriel's penthouse apartment, she noticed that the lights were on and outside, the sky had already turned dark.

>>Well slept, sweetie?<< Gabriel teased her immediately.

Without thinking much about it, she answered him:

>>Let me think...what if I answer no now?<<

At this she began to grin broadly. Gabriel's face first changed to surprise, but within a split second he started grinning again in amusement.

>>I wouldn't buy that, the way you drooled in your sleep<< he gave a provocative grin.

Indignant, Victoria sat up and stammered to herself:

>>I...I...don't drool...in my sleep. <<

Gabriel burst out laughing. Immediately, Victoria's expression darkened.

>>YOU!<< she groaned, grabbing a pillow from his sofa and throwing it against his head.

Deftly Gabriel caught it, put it aside, pulled her closer to him and kissed her.

She couldn't stay mad at him for long, because within a second she was grinning into the kiss. The kiss was passionate and yet tender at the same time. But to Victoria's displeasure, Gabriel broke away from her far too quickly. Seriously he looked at her.

>>Please don't take this the wrong way Vicky. I would love to continue, but I don't want you to get into trouble. Your dad has already called 3 times. You should go home. Not that he notices anything else.<< he gave a little crestfallen of himself.

>>What?! My dad called? Why didn't you tell me sooner!<< Hastily Victoria got up, picked up her cell phone from the coffee table and looked at the lock screen. Three missed calls from her dad. Crap! She was in a pickle. But not only that, several messages from her friends. One of them was written in greeting letters, which read:

WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!!!! YOUR DAD IS GIVING US HELL RIGHT NOW! AND NOT JUST BECAUSE YOU PLAYED HOOKY! SO WHERE ARE YOU?

She was really in a pickle. Hopefully her dad didn't get the idea to send people to the Downside. She had no choice but to go home as soon as possible.

Hastily, she ran to the kitchen counter, on which she had placed her bowl. Gabriel had also gotten up and ran over to her.

>>I'm sorry Gabe, but I have to go. My dad is already giving everyone hell and if they find out I was with you, who knows what they'll do to you.<< she stated with a lowered gaze.

>>It's all good. I get it Vicky. << At that he came closer and closer and took her in a hug.

>>Just do me a favor and call me as soon as you get home!<< he whispered in her ear.

She would prefer not to let go of him now, but she had to. Briefly she kissed him and ran to the elevator. After she pressed the button for the elevator, the door opened once again with a "ping" and with a heavy heart she went into the elevator. When the door closed, she wanted to turn around and just stay with Gabriel, but she knew too well what problems would be caused besides the existing problem.
