My Ex Mafia
Chapter 31

Sylvester

"I'm here to pick up Nicole for our date" Kevin said with a smile and a bouquet of roses in his hand.

The constant disrespect and disgust that Nicole has brought into my house was unbelievable.
Not only had she allowed another man to step foot inside my house but she let a cop do it.

"you really are playing with fire Hunter" I said as I slowly placed my hand on my gun holster making him aware of the fact that at any point in time I would shoot him dead. "There's no need for that, I'm not here for any drama Sylvester, I'm just here for Nicole" he said with a smug look on his face making me wonder What game was he trying to play.

Before I could respond the room went silent as eyes diverted to the staircase where she came down down "I'm ready" she said as she walked down the stairs dressed in a dark blue strapless mini dress that showed off her figure perfectly. She wore 3 inch black heels and carried a silver hand purse.

She was stunning, she's always stunning in everything that she wore and what annoyed me the most about her outfit was that it wasn't for me. She dressed up for him. The man who wants me in jail, the man who would protect her the same way I could, except legally.

"okay I think I'm officially read...dyy..Heyyy Sully" she dragged as she saw me standing by the door with Rico and Kevin. "you look beautiful Nicole" Kevin said as he just walked past me to the staircase to hold Nicole's hand. "you're getting too comfortable Hunter." I hissed at him as I walked towards the side table to pour myself a glass of whiskey.

"come on Sully don't be like that" Nicole said in a soft tone, not trying to anger anyone but it was too late for that. "Fuck off Nicole. Really? You know my lifestyle, you know what I do and you just invite one of the people who has been trying to see me behind bars for the longest time, into my fucking house?!" I threw the empty glass in my hand at the door, which scared her.

From a distance I looked deeply into her eyes that were filled with fear and anxiety, making me sigh. " what is going on in here?!" I heard papa say as he approached from behind me. His eyes met Kevins and instantly he drew out his gun,but Kevin didn't flinch. "Mr Gravano it's nice to see you again, there's really no need for that?" Kevin said in a calm tone, he was being held at gun point by my father and still stayed calm, any normal man would be shaking but not him.

"So not only did you allow whores into my house, turning this place into a B&B, but you're allowing policemen into my house now too?!" Papa exclaimed.
I had no control over the things that happened in this house anymore, ever since Nicole came back the way I ran this house was falling apart and it took me too long to actually realize that. " for the last time, I'm not a fucking whore!" 

"meh, questionable" I replied as I fixed myself another glass of whiskey. "you know what, I don't need this right now, let's go Kevin." she said as she cuffed her arm into his. "your wish is my command" Kevin smiled as they left.

"you're not even going to try and stop her?" Rico said as he closed the door. "our number one priority right now is killing Alberto. So whatever Nicole wants to do that's on her now." I've tried my hardest to make sure she felt safe around me and stay here with me, but it wasn't enough for her, nothing that I did or tried to do for her was enough, all she wanted to be with the feds so I wasn't going to stop her.
She's been a constant distraction to the way I thought and planned and I needed to stay focused and be the proper Mafia king that my father raised me to be.

"Papa put the gun down, before you hurt yourself" I said as I headed into the kitchen with my whiskey. "what are you planning now" he said as he placed the gun back into his holster and followed me.
"we need to finalize the attack on the Luchesses, because in just a few days Alberto will be fix feet under. I've sent one of my men down to find out any information on who might be next to lead once everything is done"

Nicole

As Kevin and I drove up to his place in silence I couldn't help but wonder why Sylvester didn't try to stop me this time. Did that mean he was planning something or that he actually gave up on the idea of us being together, maybe this meant that once I get back he'd let me go back home or something.

"okay we're here, you okay?" Kevin asked in the gentlest tone ever. He was sweet, kind, funny and he gave me no reason to not trust him. He has been nothing more than just wonderful and he didn't force me to do anything.
He was the complete opposite of Sylvester and honestly it was refreshing, I felt safe around him and since he was a cop I had no reason to be afraid of anything bad happening to me.

"yeah I'm okay let's go, shall we" I replied as I climbed out the car. "have I mentioned that your place is amazing?" I said as we walked through the door and took in the place. "you've been here before though" he chuckled as he placed his coat on the coffee table.
"well yeah but I didn't have enough time to scope out your place as we weren't doing anything...well productive" I said as I started to remember the first night I was here. "welllll I wouldn't say it was unproductive, we did do a lot of productivity" he smirked making me laugh.

"okay so how about you get comfortable while I get dinner started, alright?" he said as he pulled out an apron and placed it around his waist. I loved it when a man was able to cook, I loved it even more when he was cooking for me, and the experience that came with it since its been a while since I've had home-cooked food that was prepared by the opposite sex.

Flashback

"so you're a business man, you own this huge house and you also know how to cook, what can't you do Sylvester Grrrravano?" I giggled as I rolled the R in his name. It was amazing. I sat at the island table watching him prepare dinner for us. He was shirtless obviously but wore an apron covering his torso, but I was still able to examine his perfectly sculptured body through it all.

He was just perfect. "I can't dance, open up" he replied as he turned around and placed a small spoon of sauce into my mouth. "mmm this is amazing, what is it?" I asked as I licked the remaining sauce off my lips. "it's just tomato paste" he chuckled as he turned back to the stove.

Flashback over

Everything in that moment was just perfect through my eyes. He was perfect, what I thought about him was pure perfection and as time went by, the realization of why he kept his true nature away from me started to make sense.
But his actions weren't something that I could just get over. Maybe in the distant future there would be a part of me wondering what could have happened if we were honest from the beginning but right now, as I watched Kevin Cook, the idea of Sylvester slowly started to fade away.
