Secrets of the mafia

10. chapter

Roxy's pov:

"Arrivederci." Mama waved her hand and the door closed behind them.

"Incredible! They just came home  from one vacation and already going to another one, God knows where, thinking that their daughter is completely fine and already can be the boss here?!" Johnny started. "Hey! I'm good, brother, and eventually I have to start to train again because I'm out of condition." I tried to get his attention and shut him up.

Now that Aleciano left and is no more in my life, I'm getting healthier and happier, too. I'm close with my siblings again and I'm happy that I have a great husband, Luca. I don't take him as my husband yet, it's still just on papers and we're more like best friends than a married couple.

"You can't even walk straight Roxy! How do you want to train?" "Then I'll wait a few more days." "And the mafia? You can't think straight either." I rolled my eyes. "Listen. I am not drunk or dying. I can do everything in a few days, and until then I have my right hand man here" i pointed at him, "who loves his job and wants to work." I said it slowly and Johnny looked at me with a killing expression on his face. "Right?" I smiled.

He turned around, but before he could run out, the door flew open and Lia squealed happily. "Roxy, Roxy, Roxy!!!" She came and jumped on my bed, while Johnny rolled his eyes. He wanted to step out, but stopped in his tracks when Lia asked "Can I go out with my boyfriend? Pleaseeeee??"

"Your what?!" "Ahh, dear Johnny don't you have work to do?" I asked frustrated ignoring both their questions. "But Roxy she has a boyfriend!" He pointed at Lia. " A boyfriend! You kno-" "Enough John Isaac Marquesa! Get out!" He just looked at me. "But-" "Now!" "But this talk isn't over!" Then he left leaving my door wide open. "What about the door?" I shout after him. Then he came back and shut the door.

"So can I ?" Lia asked. "Please Roxy? I really really want to go!" "No." I answered simply. "But- Why?!" "Because I need to meet him first, then you can go out." I said. "But you're not my mom!" "But I'm older." "It's just six minutes!" "It's still six minutes!" "But- ahhh. Alright then. I'm going to text him to come here." She stood up and tried to leave. "No, no, no! Not now and not here Lia! We'll go out together, you, you're boyfriend, me, Lucas and Johnny, but first I need to rest and then we'll go." "Okay and that's when? And why does Johnny have to be there? He's just going to embarrass me and scare Alexandro away!?" "Oh so that's his name. Come. Tell me something about him." I patted beside me and she came and sat down, forgetting about her questions, and telling me a lot about her boyfriend until we fell asleep.

Few days later:

"Lia!" I shouted and Lia came down the stairs. "Yes?" "I want to meet your boyfriend today, but first I'll go train a little and prepare everything, so go get ready and tell him to meet us at your favourite restaurant for lunch." She just smiled and went running back to her room.

~•~•~•~•~

"So, what do you do for living, Alexandro?" I asked and lightly kicked Johnny, who sat beside me.

Alexandro looked handsome and was sweet, he acted like a gentleman and obviously loves Lia. I understand that Johnny tries to protect his little sister, but he doesn't have to be rude.

"Hacking." He said casually as it would be a normal job and continued eating his pasta. "I'm sorry?" Johnny asked curiously. I admit, this was strange. "I now you're a mafia family so don't play like you don't understand." Alexandro answered and shot Johnny a look. I looked at Luca, but he was already looking at me. I saw him slowly slide his hand behind his back to get his gun if something goes wrong.

There was a little silence until Lia said "You two definitely don't like eachother." and awkwardly laughed while looking at Johnny and Luca. She knew I was looking at her, because she was fidgeting with her fingers and soon stared at her shoes.

"Ehm. How long have you been dating?" Luca asked. "Two." Lia whispered. "Two what?" I asked this time. "Two years." Alexandro answered slowly, and let's just ignore that he was staring at Johnny this whole time and Johnny at him. I just shook my head at their childishness before the realization hit me. "You've been dating for two years?" Lia laughed awkwardly, again. "Why didn't you tell me Lia? If you would have told me, now we wouldn't be sitting here in this... ehh situation. Okay I'm going home." I stood up, waiving my hand for Luca to stand up and slapped Johnny on the back of the head to get him out off the staring competition he has with Alexandro.

"Welcome to the family Alexandro." were my last words before walking out off the restaurant, with everybody following me.

"Roxy wait!" "Yes, Johnny?" I turned around, already knowing what will he say. "You can't trust him Roxy. He knows everything about us and you just met him!" "Don't shout at me!" I yelled and he shut up. "Good. Now, I'm going home to take a nap, because I have a headache. Tell the cook to make my favourite desert and you will bring it up to my room. And yes, if Lia trusts her boyfriend, than so do I." I put on my sunglasses and turned around to walk to my car.

"My wife is bossy." I heard Luca say, and run after me to open the car door for me.
