Mafia's Art [COMPLETED]

17: Threat

The meeting continued with Santino and Mateo talking about their potential new threat, business, drug shipments, guns, money and even talking about Charlene.

Santino knew that she was going to come up one way or another. He's okay about telling Mateo about his new girl with beautiful eyes, he trusts him. Also considering they kind of knew each other since a very young age.

"She makes me a tintsy bit crazy Mateo. I don't know what's happening to me, I can't seem to let her go." He chuckles a bit after listening to his own words.

"You remind me of papa. You remember the way he used to tell us how he felt about your mama. You sound just like him." Mateo tells Santino.

They both laugh, enjoying the burning and bitterness of expensive whiskey in their hands. What Mateo said to Santino was true. Now that he thinks about it, damn... He does sound like his dad.

The men cut their conversation a bit short. Each heading out to their separate ways. Santino back to his bedroom. He opens the door only to find his girl sleeping gracefully on the bed. Giggling, he walks slowly towards her, careful not to make a loud sound. He found it funny how she was sleeping and it was still just twelve in the afternoon. Guess she was still tired.

Not wanting to disturb her, he heads back out to plan something special for her.. A date. He was somewhat ashamed that he has not taken her to a proper date before, yet he basically asked her to move in so quickly. That's not so gentlemanly of him. He knew his father would be very disappointed if he were here, that's not what he taught him.

"Renzo."

He is broken out of his thoughts by what to him, is an angelic voice. He turns his head to be met with two beautiful unique eyes staring right at him. Gosh, he has not been called by his middle name in so long. He wonders why she would prefer calling him by it, not that he is complaining.

"Ah, there you are principessa."

"Tsk. Renzo that was way longer than a minute or two, and why are you sitting here." She says to him.

"I apologize princess. The meeting took longer than expected and when I came back you were sleeping. I did not want to wake you up."

"Okay."

"By the way princess, I bought you a dress, it's in the closet in my bedroom. I'm taking you somewhere" Santino informs, looking at her reaction.

"Really, where are you taking me?"

"I can't tell you princess, it's a surprise."

Ughh, Charlene hates surprises, it started the day her parents died. Not so many years ago, it all happened when they were headed to her surprise party.

Shrugging those thoughts off. She heads to Santino's bedroom to take a shower and puts the dress on afterwards. She looks so sexy in it, and that's how she felt. She put her braids in a high ponytail and leaves two sticking out at the front, bringing out her baby hairs for some volume. She adds bronze themed makeup to match her skin and also bring out the beauty of her skin. Adding one brown winged eyeliner and one a grayish blue to bring out her different eyes that she is very well proud of. Perks of being a model and all, was she had awesome makeup skills.

(The dress, I'm lazy to explain it sorry.)

She takes one last look at herself and heads downstairs to meet Santino. Looking at her dress, she has to admit, the man has style.

Santino, who stood at the waiting area situated at the bottom of the stairs stops addressing his men. He turns around to be hit by the sexy view of a slightly nervous Charlene coming down the stairs in her black dress.

As soon as she descends the last step, Santino is before her. Hitting her with a powerful scent of his cologne mixed with that of his aftershave. He is also such a breathtaking sight to see, in his all black Givenchy suit. Like a whole Italian, green eyed snack.

They stare at each other for a while, taking everything in. They share a passionate french kiss that lasts long, very long. Seeing that this probably won't end well, Mateo pretends to clear his throat. Snapping the couple out of their trance.

"Oh shut up Mateo, won't you!" Charlene says, throwing Mateo a sharp glare and he tenses up immediately. Santino who is a little bit taken aback by her slight projection of dominance, gives Charlene one quick kiss and they head out. She acted like the Charlene who took control the first time they had sex.

There are two cars waiting for then outside, a average black SUV in front and a matte black 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee at the back

Charlene, Santino and Mateo climb in the Jeep. Mateo being their driver, and four guards in the car at the froont. They drive away to a high-end Italian restaurant situated right on the shore.

"It's beautiful." Charlene says looking around and admiring the place.

"You like it principessa?" Charlene nods her head.. "It's mine you know." Santino adds.

She giggles, " I figured. You'll end up owning the whole city you know."

Santino just shrugs his shoulders and they head inside. A young man who looks to have probably just got out of college comes to lead them to their private booth.

After taking a seat, the waiter speaks. "Good evening, my name is Nathan and I am to be your server for the evening. All of your meals have been specially chosen for and prepared by the head chef himself. We will be serving you shortly."

He then turns to leave. Charlene turns her gaze from the waiter to look at Santino, only to find him already looking at her adoringly.

"You look so sexy tonight my princess." He says, causing her to blush slightly.

"Thank you Renzo. You look like a whole meal yourself." Charlene replies flirtatiously , making Santino chuckle lightly.

"Why do you call me Renzo?"

"Well, it is your name is it not?" She asks back at him.

"Yes, yes it is. It's just, people tend to use Santino usually." He answers.

"Well I'm not people."

They both chuckle and suddenly the young waiter returns with a ice bucket of their most expensive champagne. He opens the champagne and pours it into two separate glasses, one for 'Renzo' and one for Charlene.
