"one of the guards left this on my table" I threw the picture onto my desk as I rubbed my head.

"is this-"
"Nicole, yes. It's a message from the Lucchesses, they are keeping tabs on her, they know she was out, this is why I don't want her out of my sight, but nooooooooo she has to be so damn stubborn"
"she just wants freedom boss"
"i give her freedom, she can go anywhere in this big fucking house but that's not enough for her. Nothings ever enough for her!"

I was angry at the Lucchesses, but mostly I was upset with myself. They had the opportunity to take her away from me again and I couldn't protect her.

The picture was covered in blood and showed Nicole dancing at a club, at a restaurant and getting into Kevin's car. I needed to keep her safe, by any means necessary. "what do we do boss?" Rico asked as I poured myself a glass of whiskey to take the edge off. "we need to get rid of them make sure they can't get any ideas, we need to kill Alberto Lucchesse" I said as I placed my glass down roughly. "listen I understand you that he is crossing a line but I don't think killing him is the best option" Rico stepped closer to my desk "if we kill him then we will have to deal with the war that will come from it" he said and he had a point.

By killing Alberto, it would be a sign of attack and I'd be initiating a war between our families,but there was no other option, he needed to die in order to keep Nicole safe and out of all the drama.

"we have no other option Rico, he needs to go"
"i know you care about her, I do too, but in honesty she's not worth the destruction of your men and our families. She's not worth the war Boss" Rico was always the more reasonable one while I was more of the violent one.
He had a point and I understood where he was coming from, but he was wrong, Nicole is worth the war, she always will be.
"i need you to listen to me, get all the men and inform them that we will be taking out Alberto for good." I said and left him in my office alone.

This was going to work. I needed my men to be informed about what's would happen once we are done. Rico saw it as a bad idea, but if we planned it perfectly, I would be able to kill Alberto and keep peace, and if there was war I would be prepared for it.

I walked downstairs and found Nicole sitting on the couch, she was on her phone and by the sounds of it she was talking to Kevin. I wasn't about to let her slip through my hands again, not now and not to be with a cop.
I walked up behind her and grabbed her phone, I said a few things to Kevin and walked away. "what the actual hell Sylvester!" she yelled and I was amused just a little bit.
She turned me to face her and glared at me. She had no idea how much trouble she was putting herself in, going around with Kevin, just going around was dangerous but she couldn't see that.
" no more Kevin, no more sneaking out and no more slumping up with a damn cop" I said in a harsh tone.

"you're not the boss of me"
"as long as you are in my home, I am"
"well then let me go back to my apartment, it's not like I want to be here!"

I turned to walk away from her again but she stopped me once more.

"we're not done!"
"well I am Nicole."

I turned to walk away from her once again but she stopped me, pulling me harder this time. "stop it Nicole, can you stop being childish for once in your life and listen to me. You don't want to be here then fine, but I'm just trying to keep you safe so if you would just let me do that instead of running around to go bang cops, I'd really appreciate it!" I felt a sting on my face as it turned red. She slapped me, hard.

Nicole

Okay so maybbbeeee I took it too far by slapping him, but he deserved it and it felt so good. He has given me so much shit about the whole Kevin thing and I'm sick of it. I'm sick of him always yelling at me like I'm some damn child, just because he's older than me.

He turned his head to face mine and without a word I felt my body pressed against a wall with his hands on my waist. It all happened so fast, he was so close to the point where I could feel his breath on me.
I wanted to push him away but my body was frozen under him. His eyes met mine as he slowly calmed down, his eyes trailed down to my lips and so did mine.

Temptation. I hated it with a large amount of passion in me. I hated that I just wanted his lips on mine and I hated that our lips never met. It was silent, he looked at me with such concentration as if he was reading me.
Wanting him was wrong, I should be scared of him, I should be scared of this situation that we are in, but I wasn't. "I'm sorry am I disturbing something?" a voice behind Sylvester said making him slowly let go of me and walk away.

I walked away from the wall and walked towards the door to find Olivia with wide eyes. "well that was unexpected" she said to me before looking back at Sylvester who was no longer in sight. "okay so you need to tell me everything, like everything, did I just interrupt something between you two, did you guys make up, oh my gosh are you guys back together?!" questions after questions, that's all that came out of her mouth.

I had all the answers to her questions but I couldn't answer them. I was lost in thought trying to process what just happened and what could have happened if Olivia didn't walk in.
Sylvester wasn't one to waste any time on what he wanted so what made him stop inches away from me,maybe he finally lost interest in me that's why.

Olivia and I spent the rest of the day goofing around the mansion, running around, opening doors we shouldn't have and watched a lot of Netflix to the point where we both fell asleep on the couch with the TV on.
I was exhausted, but happy. This day was perfect, I didn't feel lost in any way, my mind wasn't focused on any boy drama and I got to spend it with my best friend that's the best part.
I just wished that everyday could be like that, at least I'd have something to do on a daily basis.

**********
Sylvester

I walked back downstairs to find Nicole and Olivia passed out and the couch. I wanted to kiss her earlier, hell I wanted to do to her but I just couldn't find it in me.
I needed to forget about her but I couldn't do that by making out with her. I needed to focus more on what was important and that was killing Alberto once and for all.

Tomorrow my men and I will be discussing the perfect plan and nothing could go wrong with it, as long as my mind is in the right place at all times. I've wanted to kill Alberto for a long time, but I was warned not to, not it I wanted a war and right now I had the perfect reason to get rid of that son of bish.

I walked over to Nicole who was asleep and turned off the television and placing a blanket over her and Olivia before heading back to my office.

I must of woken her up or something because 5 minutes later she was knocking on the door. "can we talk?"
