My Ex Mafia
Chapter 19

Nicole

"disgusting, absolutely disgusting!" I yelled as we walked out of Sylvesters office. I was upset, I was furious. How does someone say such to a woman, to anyone for that matter and think it's okay. I was ready to turn around and give that man a piece of my mind but I was stopped by a hard a musclely figure.

"what is your problem Nicole." Sylvester asked with a hursh tone. He was mad but so was I. I folded my arms and glared at him. We stood in silence outside of his office door before he sighed. "I don't have time for this, you know the rules and I expect you to obey them. You're not special you can't just barge into my office as you please." his facial expression changed as he calmed himself down.

His tone was harsh and I had to admit, it hurt a little. I stood there in silence as I folded my arms around my chest. " I lost my job today,because of you." I let out and his face shifted into a unpleasant expression.

"you're joking with me right, tell me that you're joking Nicole." he stepped closer towards me and I let my hands fall to my sides. He was furious, with every step he took towards me, I took one back until I felt myself hit a wall behind me. "Tell me that you didn't barge into my office uninvited, throwing shoes around, while I was in an important meeting, because you lost your fucking job?!" he yelled as his veins started to reveal themselves on his forehead.

My breathing stopped as I was terrified of him in that moment. I felt helpless and I wanted to get away, I could feel my eyes get watery as I held back my tears. I never liked getting yelled at, who does, it was like a trigger, I felt like a child being put in the naughty corner but this time it was different, it felt way worse. I was against a wall with an angry mafia leader yelling at me because I couldn't keep my feelings and emotions to myself for a few minutes.

He could sense the fear in me and took a few steps back with a large sigh leaving his lips. He rubbed his hand into his hair and walked back into his office, leaving me alone in the hallway.

Well that didn't go as planned. I walked away and went to the my room just to think. What was I supposed to do with my life now, I lost the only opportunity I had at my dream job, my ex is a fucking psychopath mafia boss and my life was being threatened because of him.

I had to get out, I needed to get out, I couldn't stay here tonight, I just needed fresh air and drinks, lots of drinks, but I felt like I was basically a prisoner in this house. Yes I could walk around freely but I couldn't go outside without some sort of supervision. I grabbed my phone and thought about who to call. Olivia was busy today and I couldn't tell Rico or he'd tell Sylvester.

I looked at my bed side table and saw the little card I got from Kevin the first time we met, it had his number on it so I dialed it into my phone and placed it on my ear as it rang.

"Detective Hunter speaking"
"Hey it's Nicole, from the Cafe"
"oh hey, is everything okay?"
"yeah, I mean no, I-I don't know, I just want to get out of this place"
"where are you?"
"I-I can't t-tell you"

He let out a light chuckle before responding back to me.

"i can't help you, if you don't tell me Nicole"
"do you wanna go out, tonight, with me?"
"are you serious?"
"yeah"
"Uhm yes, yeah"
"cool, I'll send you a location and you can pick me up there"
"alright"

The call dropped and I felt anxious. How was I supposed to get to him without him knowing that I'm living in The Gravano Mansion. He's a cop and I don't want any drama, but then if he is coming for me alone he wouldn't be interesting in anything thats linked with Sylvester.

I contemplated many different scenarios in my head until I came up with a solution. If I want to sneak out of this house then I'll need Sylvester distracted and Kevin close to the house but far away from it as well. I sent the location of where Kevin should pick me up and I got dressed.

Even though I was sneaking out I still needed to look good for the date, so I wore a gold short dress with no straps and wore grey sweats and a red hoodie over it to cover up. I placed my heels into a small bag and wore sneakers to make my homey look complete.
There was a knock at the door and I jumped. I hid some of the makeup items under a blanket before opening it to see Sylvester with us head down and his hands in his pockets. "what do you want" I snapped as I turned around and sat down on my bed.

"i wanted to apologize" he said and I was shocked. He came here to apologize, he isn't one to say sorry so it caught me by surprise. He walked in and closed the door as he sat next to me leaving only an inch of space between us. "I shouldn't have snapped at you like that earlier-" he started but I cut him off "yeah you really shouldn't have"

"Nicole let me finish. I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier, I didn't mean to scare you, but you had no right to just come into my office, that was out of line and you know it, I don't appreciate you showing me zero respect in my own place of business, understood "he said in a calm tone, trying to keep his voice neutral.

" I'm done with my meeting, so do you want to talk about it, you said you lost your job today?"he asked as he turned his head to face me. I could feel his eyes on me and I could feel my body tense up. "well my boss fired me today, told me that I've been late 3 times in a row so he let me go, you were right I guess" I let out a sigh before tilting my head to face his.
I found myself staring deeply into his eyes, his amazing eyes, his beautiful and perfect eyes along with everything about him.
Just perfect.

He placed his hand on my cheek as he looks down at my lips. "right about what?" he asked as he moved his gaze into my eyes. His touch on my skin felt warm, I wanted to move but my body froze. "about me not being independent, about relying on my father's money, I couldn't even keep a job for a week and now I'm being kept in your house cause people want to hurt me"

"no one will hurt you, I won't let them and I'm sorry about the job and about what I said at dinner was out of anger, I didn't mean it" he gently rubbed my cheek with his thumb as he leaned closer to me. He placed his lips gently onto mine making a little bit of electricity flow through me. It's been two years since we last kissed, since I last tasted him, it felt good, it was soft and gentle, it was perfect.

He broke the kiss and looked at me with a small smile before getting up and leaving, without a word.
