The Past

5-Stars

"Took your awhile." I said as I walk up to them. Franco smirks and look at me up and down.

"I see you love the dress." He kissed my cheek and I nod at him.

"Yes I did, hi Jett. How was the day with your uncles?"

"It was fun, they took to me Peter Pipper Pizza. So much better then Chucky Cheese." I smiled and crouch down to kiss his cheek. Franco quickly was behind me so no one could see my behind.

I stand up and I felt him hovering my ass. "Trying to make a show?" Franco whisper in my ear.

I tug a smirk, and shrug my shoulders. "Maybe it was for someone special."

He growls and turned my body, but before I made contact with Franco, I notice Jett wasn't standing where he was. "Franco, he's g-gone."

My voice cracked and my heart dropped to the bottom of the ocean. "Jett!" I yelled out and we spread out to look for him.

I look behind the bar, I saw Franco asking a few people. Manny started to help as well.

I doubt he will be outside but I went out the doors and see a little kid looking out the stars. I sigh in relief and my heart was taken from the deep sea.

I closed the door and walked to Jett. I place a hand on the shoulder and he was startled. He turned around and looked into my eyes. "Sorry, I needed fresh air."

Chuckling by his words. "Spoken from a old man." I place my arms on the shoulder of the building. "Now whats wrong? Something bugging you. Also, please don't leave like that, we have people looking for you. Not cool."

"Sorry mom, but I have questions. Also, way a go with the dress. Like MUAH!" He makes a kissing sound and I laughed. "Like who you trying to impress, Barney or spongebob darling."

I couldn't help but laugh at his sweet words. "Avoiding the question, not cool little child. Come on, out with the question."

He huffs and looks back to the stars. "I miss my friends, they want to come over but that's not why. I'm confused, with your work."

The day I knew would come, will be today.

"Ask the question Jett." I exclaimed.

He glance at me, having my full attention on me. "What is your work?"

"A monster." I said loudly to scare him. He jumped back and then smiled.

"Tell me." He plead.

"Alright fine. If I tell you, you can't tell anyone. No one, alright? This is a secret that only closed friends know. You. Don't tell anyone. Can I trust you?" He nods. "Words hon."

"Yes, cross my heart, hope to die." I cringe, I didn't like how he used that form.

"I am leader. A very dangerous one. They call me the Dama de Mafia. Mexican mafia and that's all you will know."

"Dangerous as gangs?"

"More then just gangs. If you are alright with that, we can not talk about this conversation until you are older and have more knowledge."

I look into his eyes, he lowered them and he was thinking to himself. "I see. One more question?" I nod at him. "Do you hurt people?" His innocent eyes mark mine.

"Yes. Only who deserve it."

"THERE YOU ARE! WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU!" We flipped our heads to the doors. Franco had barge in from the doors. He stomps towards Jett. "YOU CANNOT LEAVE LIKE THAT, YOU GAVE US ALL A SCARE. IF YOU KEEP DISAPPEARING, PEOPE WILL GRAB YOU AND HURT YOU MORE THEN YOU IMAGNE!"

Wow. What a entrance? Yep, he has become a real father.

"Spoken like a father eh?" I playfully moved my elbow to Jett arm and he laughs.

"You got that right." Franco looked at me with furious eyes then back at Jett multiple times. He huffs and looked up for a second.

Jett ran into his body and hugging him. "I am sorry, I won't do it again. By the way, nice father voice. Scared me for a second." Jett said.

I snort a chuckled. Franco eyed me and I look to the stars. I heard the doors open and it was Manny walking in. "Jesus Christ. Don't run off again little child."

"I won't, is there food in this place?" Jett walked towards the Manny. I gave Manny a signal to go with Jett so I can talk to Franco who was pissed.

They walked inside and Franco put his hands on the edge of the building. I walked over and hug him from behind. "He knows." Placing my cheek on his back.

His head slowly lifting , "you being-,"

"Yes." 

Franco turned around and his hand touch my cheek. His thump steadily on my skin. My breathing became shaking, his eyebrow narrowed. Speechless on how I was able to have this man.

"I want to spoil you tomorrow, I know you have money. Blah blah, let me use my money to spoil you. So tomorrow we are going to the mall. Okay? And please get some air, I know I'm pretty."

I chuckled. "Alright fine, on one condition."

He smiles and pulls my body but tightening his grip from the back of my neck. "Which is?" His eyes never leaving mine.

"A dance." I proposed and like just that, I felt everything going in slow motion as he leans in to kiss my lips. I closed my eyes and let my senses experience his plumping lips on mine.

Fresh mint hit my nose, his smooth lips slowly moving with my lips. I feel his hand from my waist being removed and into his pocket. He leaned back and types in his phone.

He place the phone on the table closed to us, then hearing a song being played. Stay by NNavy

"May I have your hand." I extend my arm and slowly puzzled my hand with his. His free hand around my back.

We never let go the eye contact we had. As the music plays we moved slowly back and forth. His arm secured more into mine, like he was afraid of losing me.

My heart beats faster then it should but I place my head on his chest, and slowly was calming down. Instead of my hearing my own, I could hear his beating normal. I smiled and closed my eyes, letting the moment sink in.

I have realize how much I love this man, everything he has down is with me. I see myself loving this man everyday and never getting old of it. I see myself marrying him on our wedding day, and not running away. I see myself having children with him, being parents together. I see myself getting old with him, for better then worse.

The amount of love I have for him, and words can't explain.

My dream love became true the day he enter my shadow.
