My Ex Mafia
Chapter 22

Sylvester

I got back to my room and I couldn't help but think about Kevin coming to my house unannounced. The smile he gave Nicole and her blushing at him was enough to get my blood boiling.

I didn't like it. I didn't like the fact that she snuck out to be with someone else. I didn't like that she found someone after the kiss we shared. Maybe it wasn't a big deal but it should have meant something at least.

She risked her life to make love to a damn cop, while I worry my ass off about her. I shouldn't care about her the way I do, because it makes me feel weak. I'm the head Gravano in this town, I can't be showing any signs of weakness, not now, not ever.
But I always felt myself drift into a pile of tissues whenever I was with her. I smiled to myself as I thought back to when I first told her that I loved her.

Flashback

"Nicole where are you hiding?!" I shouted playfully as I searched our room for her. She liked playing around when she was drunk and for some reason she was hiding from me.

I walked downstairs to the kitchen to find her hiding behind the kitchen door giggling. She came out and wrapped her arms around my neck and continued to giggle. I placed my hands around waist as I pulled her closer to me. "you're like a child when you're drunk you know that" I chuckled and she kissed me.
I could feel her smile on my lips and I couldn't help but smile back.

Was this how it felt, to be completely consumed by another person, completely head over heels for their laugh their smile, their body. Was this how it felt when your body was completely consumed by another, not wanting anyone or anything other than them. I looked down into her eyes as my hands traveled down to her thighs and lifted her up onto me. "hey put me down!" she laughed as she placed her hands on my shoulders.
"no"
"and why not Mr Gravano?"
"cause I don't want to"
"come on noowwwww"

We laughed as I walked us to the living room and sat her down on the couch with me hovering over her. "what's on your mindddddddd?" she smiled and I knew exactly what was on my mind. "you"

She started moving around under me as if she was dancing and it left me confused. "what are you doing?" I asked as my brows shifted. "im dancing duh, dance with me" she shoved me off of her and got up, she reached for a glass of wine and drank it down before slowly moving her body to no music.

"come onnnnnnn" I Got up and walked towards her and wrapped my hands around her small waist. Moving in harmony with her body, keeping her close to me as if I was afraid to let her go.

"Nicole" I whispered in her ear as I lowered my head down to her
"mmmm"
" i love you" I let out and she moved away from me.  Instant regret, as I thought to myself maybe I shouldn't of said it. She kissed me hard as her hands were on my face. She broke the kiss and smiled at me "I love you too" I smiled and kissed her back.

Flashback over

In two years she managed to move on, in two years she managed to let go of the past we had. So I had to do the same. I needed to forget about her and everything we had and did.
I needed to get my head back into what was important to me right now and that was my business and putting a stop to the Lucchesses so that Nicole could get the fuck out of my house and my life for good.

If only it were as simple as that though.

-----------------
The morning
-----------------

I woke up at 9am and went downstairs to find Nicole awake with Rico as well. Today I just needed to focus and forget about what happened earlier so that was what I did, I chose to ignore her as she waved at me and opened the fridge to grab a bottle of water. "Rico I need you in the office in 10 minutes, we need to discuss the Lucchesses" I said and left without another word.

Nicole

So either I did something wrong or he just woke up grumpy as usual. I waved to him and he just ignored me, without even looking at me. Ouch.

He left and Rico looked at me curiously. "what did you do to him?" he asked and instantly felt insulted. "I did nothing wrong, I guess he's still made about me sneaking out" I ate my pancakes as smiled at Rico who shook his head.
"or that you made love to a cop" he chuckled making me roll my eyes.
"I'm a grown ass woman, I can sleep with whoever I want, it's not my fault he's jealous"
"he's not jealous, he's just frustrated that you snuck out to be with the person who wants to throw him behind bars badly"

Kevin was a cop so it made sense, but why would he want to throw Sylvester in jail badly and if he wanted to do so, would that mean he was using me in any way to get to him

I thought about it for a while and came to the conclusion that it wouldn't make any sense, Kevin wouldn't do such especially if he hasn't asked me about Sylvester that could incriminate him. He's just a nice guy who I slept with once, nothing else.

"i have to go see what the big boss wants, talk later" he said as he stood up but I stood up with him. "wait, what am I supposed to do, I don't have a job or anything?" I asked and he looked around. "just relax and watch some television, just don't leave the house you'll be okay, I'll be back soon" he kissed my cheek and went upstairs.

Well that's just great, I was downstairs alone and with nothing to do. I went back to my room and grabbed my phone before heading to the living room.
I dialed Olivia's number and switched on the TV as I scrolled throw Sylvesters Netflix account.
"mmmmmm my sex life I wonder what that's about" I said to myself as I clicked it.

"Hey Liv, I have nothing to do in this house, why don't you come over and we can have a girls day?"
"yes please, I'll be on my way!"

Sylvester wouldn't mind me having company over this early, besides its just Olivia.

*ringing*

"Good Morning Nicole, I hope I didn't cause you any trouble with Sylvester earlier"
Good morning Kevin, What if I told you that you did, how would you make it up to me? "
" well I get off early today around 15 so I could make it up to you with a second date? "
" aren't you supposed to wait 3 days before asking me out again? " I giggled
" well I don't want to wait 3 days to see your beautiful face again "

As I was about to respond to him, my phone got snatched out of my hands" HEYYYYYY!! "I yelled but he just rolled his eyes at me." she's not interested, don't call this number back or you'll regret it"he said and dropped the call. He threw my phone onto the couch and walked away, but we he tried to get away I grabbed his shoulder and turned him around. "what the actual hell Sylvester!"
