His Soft Spot

{Nine}

Callie's POV:

Once again, when I woke up, I was not in my room. I sat up and winced, that hurt. I looked down and remembered I got stabbed. Well that was fun.

I looked around the room and realized was in Dante's room. So where was Dante? I remember talking to him last night.

I asked him to lay with me, and he stayed silent. So that was a no. It was so dumb of me to ask. Why would he want to lay with me? He doesn't. I just set myself up for failure.

I painfully got out of the bed then folded up the blanket, then walked out of the room. I walked down the hallway to go to my room, but Cass caught my hand and pulled me into her room.

"I literally love this place, sure men look me up and down, but I'm in the fucking Mafia, I could kill them if I wanted." She said in one breath and I laughed. "Oh my god this is just what I dreamed of." She flopped down on her bed and smiled. "I'm really happy that my brother is with me though. I don't know what I would do without him."

"You guys seem like you don't have a toxic relationship." I giggled and she nodded her head yes.

"We have been best friends ever since the day he decided to be an ass and not let me be alone in the womb." She rolled her eyes and I smiled. "Do you have any siblings?"

"Nope. Just me. But Liv is like a sister to me." I said.

"What made you want to join the Mafia?" She asked and raised her eyebrow.

"Well, I- I was sold by my dad. And I was a maid, but last week I- went down to the training room and a guy saw me throw and he said I should try out. And here I am." I sighed, trying not to get into details.

"You were sold?!" She yelled.

"Yeah, but I guess it was for the best because my dad abused me everyday. At least here I don't." I shrugged.

"Aw, girly I'm sorry." She walked over to me and hugged me. As soon as she hugged me, I remembered the hug Dante and I shared the previous day.

It was so... comforting. His arms wrapped around me, they might of been tense and loose, but I still felt secure in them. He was so warm, his whole body. He might seem cold because of the way he acts, but he actually isn't.

"Lets get down to breakfast." She said and I nodded my head okay. I told her I would meet her down there because she had to change.

I walked into the kitchen, thinking I had to serve, and saw a plate set aside for Dante full of food. I walked in and grabbed it then walked back out and skipped up the stairs. I was still in the sports bra and shorts but I didn't have time to change into the maids outfit.

I knocked on the office door, waiting for Dante's signal. "Come in." His voice said from the other side of the door. I opened the door and walked in then put the food on the coffee table and turned around to leave.

"Kitten?" He asked and I turned back around to look at him. "What are you doing?"

"Giving you your food." I said.

"You're not a maid anymore." He reminded me.

"Oh- I thought I still had to bring you your food. You get mad when I don't." I told him.

"It's up to you if you want to keep on bringing it." He leaned back in his chair and ran his eyes up and down at my body.

"I didn't have anytime to change." I sighed, knowing he was looking at my outfit. He hummed in response. "I'll just go shower then."

"Come with me." He said and got up from his chair and walked past me to open the door. But I wanted to shower. I followed him out of the room, we walked past my room- I could be in there showering right now.
