Secrets of the mafia

7. chapter

2 weeks later:

Roxy's pov:

I don't know why I let him cuddle me the other night. I felt safe, with him close to me, and I haven't cuddled with anybody, beside my siblings, in a long time.

This two weeks I got to know him more and Lia looks a little more comfortable around him than before.

Oh and yes. He is still staying in my room. With me. Not that I'm complaining.

When I woke up in the morning, I had my head on his chest while he was holding me like I would disappear in any second. At first I didn't move because I didn't want to wake him up, but then I've got a message from my brother that he is waiting for me and Lia in the garden and that we should hurry up, so I slowly got out of bed and went to take a shower,  than dressed up in something casual because mama is not at home so she won't yell at me about it.

Luca was still sleeping when I left my room.

I was just going down the stairs and I already heard my siblings arguing. "I'm not getting a tattoo John Isaac Marquesa! It hurts and I don't want to get hurt!" I was walking out when Lia shouted. "What tattoo?" I asked with a smile stoping by them.
Lia was muttering something while walking around and throwing her hands in the air every second.

"I've got an idea last night that we should get matching tattoos before our birthday, but Lia said that we already have matching birthmarks and we don't have to get tattoos." Johnny said. "She's just scared. She'll get over it. I think it's a good idea. When?"

Luca's pov:

I woke up finding no Roxane next to me. I sighed and went to get ready for the day.

I tried to find somebody, anybody, but I found nobody, except for some bodyguards, so I asked one where everyone is. "The boss and his wife are out of the town and the triplets' went out" was his answer. "Out where?" I was curious. Why do I not know about anything? "Now I feel lonely." I added and Noel, the bodyguard, chuckled and ignored me by listening to someone's voice in his earpiece. "Don't worry Luca, you won't be that lonely anymore, 'cause the boss is back in 15 minutes and he wants you in his office." He said patting me on the back and walking to the gate.

I got to his office in a few minutes and let me tell you sitting in here waiting for the old man is boring.

When he comes in, he greets me and sits down at his place, behind his desk, while I'm on a very comfortable and expensive couch.

We talk about some business and than he asks me if I told anybody about the marriage with his daughter. "No. I didn't tell anyone anything." "Not even Johnny?" He asks with raised  eyebrows. "Not even Johnny." I answer looking down. I hate keeping secrets from him. He is my best friend since I can't remember and now I have to marry his older, stubborn but pretty sister. Oh god I hate this. I don't know which part exactly, either the marriage without love or lying.

"You know Aleciano, right?" My deep thinking was cut off and I looked back up to see the boss looking through some files. I had no idea what Aleciano he was talking about, so I asked. "Which one exactly?" "You know the one from the Flavio family." I still didn't know who he meant so I just stared at him. "You're dad's best friend's son. " He said in a 'duh' way. "Oh, yeah. That one." I chuckled awkwardly and rubbed my arm.

"What about him?" I asked after a while of silence. "It was hard to find someone who lives close to us and someone who my children don't know about." Now I got frustrated. "Can you get to the point!" He smirked and leaned back in his seat, finally looking up at me, and said something that left me even more confused than I already was.

"Let's play with our little queen."

Roxy's pov:

"It's not that bad than I thought it would be." Lia said looking at her new tattoo, smiling ear to ear. "I don't really like snakes but they're pretty." She was calm and happy.

"Do you have to say every second something?" Johnny said, and I think I can take back the calm and happy, because now they're shouting at each other and I regret sitting in the middle.

I cleared my throat as loud as I could getting their attention. "Dear little sister and dear little brother," I started "can you please shut up and scream at each other when I won't be in between you two?!" Now I was the one shouting, first looking at Lia than at Johnny. They rolled their eyes and looked out of the windows next to them, exactly at the same time, and I enjoyed the short silence which I knew won't last long.

Luca's pov:

...and she ran off with tears streaming down her face. That was the first time I saw her cry...

A few minutes before:

We, me and Mr Marquesa, were sitting in the living room waiting for the triplets to arrive. When they did Roxy looked so happy and I couldn't help but smile at the sight.

"Jemma," her father got her attention by saying her middle name and she looked up. "Hi papa." She smiled and came to hug him. She was really really happy and my smile grew more.

While she was hugging her father, I looked at Lia and Johnny, because I wanted to know why are they so quiet,  and the last thing i saw was Lia walking up the stairs and Johnny to the kitchen.  They looked pissed. I just shook my head 'cause I know them too well to know that they're pissed at eachother.

I looked back at the two beside me and then Roxy hugged me. I froze for a second, but then hugged her back closing my eyes and enjoying the moment. When she pulled away she asked her dad: "You wanted to say something papa?"

"Sí. Your fiancé is coming tomorrow so you can get to know eachother." He said. "Oh." I looked at her and my smile faded. She was looking at me with tears in her eyes. "I forgot about that." She whispered and looked at her feet. Than she quickly wiped away a tear and ran off. 

The only thing I wanted to do was run after her, hug her and tell her that it's just a joke and I am her fiancé, but then I realized that she doesn't really like me either,  and it hurt.
