Mafia's Art [COMPLETED]

36: Proposal?

Santino's POV

The sexy girl looks up, her mismatched eyes looking straight into mine. Oh shit, it's my girlfriend.

It's so hot in here. There's no air. I have to leave. Take my clothes off, for crying out loud I wanna breathe. Why is my chest moving so fast, my ribcage. I'm hyperventilating. As I'm about to stand up, her also sky-blue, red bottom high heel meets my chest. Pushing me back to the leather sofa, shit.

"Really Renzo? A club, are you fucking with me?... You, you are in so much trouble." She sighs and lowers her face to mine.

"If that's what you want, I'll strip for you."

With that, she backs away. Heading to the pole in the middle of the room. She starts walking around the pole. The song Can I by Kehlani booming through the club.

She stops, untying her braids and letting them fall back. I watch her move, as flexible as a snake, sexy. Stretching her body in ways I didn't know she could. When on that pole, I swear she's got legs for days. Her hips swaying perfectly to the beat, her ass calling my name.

Those eyes, they changed somehow. Still different colours but darker, filled with mischievous intentions.

She closes those legs, lets go of the pole and slowly comes towards me. Fuck. She puts her boobs all up in my face, I try to touch her but she pins my hands to the sofa. Turning around to put her ass on my lap. She starts moving and turns her head to look at me, winks and strands. Straddling me, she touches my chest, grinding on me. She throws her head back, her one hand tracing from her lips, to her neck, between her boobs, to her stomach and stops right at her pussy.

She brings her head back, her braids now messy all over her face. I take my hand up to her face to put it back in place. She's fucking sexy, my seductress.

She brings her face in for a kiss and I fall for it. Instead of kissing me, she moves to the side and to my ear.

"I love you and I own you as much as you do me. Do not disrespect me like that my love." She whispers and gets off me. Walking out the door and back in with something in her hand behind her back. She bows on one knee, forcefully takes my hand and puts a ring on it.

"There. It's done." She sighs and stands back up.

"I'm going to sleep at Angelo's. Tell mom I'll be back tomorrow."

With that, she leaves. What the heck just happened? Think Santino, think. What do I do? Okay. I, Santino, just got engaged by Charlene, a girl. My girlfriend, but she's mad at me. She left, she's not sleeping at home tonight.

What did I do? Santino you're so stupid. Coming to the club to figure things out? Okay, whatever I could fix that, but a stripper? Entertainment? For what? I stand up and exit the VIP room, seeing Mateo standing right outside.

"Cosa stai facendo qui?" [What are you doing here?]

"I came with Charlene, but she told me to wait for you."

I nod and he follows me to the car. I can't stop thinking about what happened in there, what does all of this mean? Are we engaged now, did she propose? Yet she's mad at me and she's sleeping at Angelo's. This is such a huge complication.

"This is probably none of my business il capo, but that was bad."

I sigh after what Mateo says, I'm not gonna argue. I'm a man, and a honorable man knows when he has fucked up. I've fucked up.

Charlene's POV

I drive recklessly, disobeying all the laws of the road. I just wanna see my friend, have some icecream while we talk and watch movies.

Soon enough I pull up at Angelo's house, walk towards the door and ring the bell. He opens up and looks at me shocked. As soon as he sinks in that I'm actually here, he smiles and pulls me in for a hug.

"Oh goodness I've missed you so so much."

"I've missed you to Angelo."

"Oh come, get in." I follow him inside and we head to the kitchen, it smells good in here. Like lasagna... Yep, I said it. He takes it out and puts it on a cooling rack.

"There's icecream in the fridge and I just got new movies on my USB."

I smile and stand up to go take out the icecream and choose a movie to watch. A few minutes later Angelo joins me on the couch with the lasagne and two plates in his hands.

We sit quiet until he looks at me, honestly I knew very well we wouldn't even be watching this movie. That's why I kept the volume so low.

"I had to come here, to sleep over too. So the thing is, Santino went to the club today, it would be okay if A.- he took Mateo or a guard with him. Or if B.- I didn't find him with a blonde haired, fake boobies stripper! Long story short, I killed her, stripped for him and left... Oh and also, that ring I bought? I put it on him, without his permission."

I say and dish out some lasagna for myself. Turning back I find him looking at me, mouth agape. I guess he's surprised?

"Woah girl. I must say, your still a bad ass bitch. So what now?"

"Oh I'm not mad-mad at him. I'm going back to the house tomorrow. For fuck's sake I put a ring on him, why would I just leave... Eh, he'll be fine."

I scoff and we look at each other for a moment, breaking into a fit of laughter.

"But seriously Low, what's with you and Mateo. You never got to tell me anything in person." I look at him and take a scoop of icecream.

{BTW, Low is Angelo's nickname. Kinda funny, but Angelo is too long at times.}

"Well..." Bitch speak, "well, I just couldn't hold it okay? I couldn't control myself in the car that time, I came onto him. For a while there he seemed not to be interested, but when I was about to leave... He just... kissed me."

I look at him for a minute or two, then out of the blue I smile and start squealing. I stop and look at him again, suddenly squealing again and throwing my hands around.

"That is like soooo cute!! I can't believe you, you go getter. So what's it now?"

He fidgets a bit, playing with his fingers and looking down.

"I... *sigh* I don't know girl, I just don't know. I want him, gosh I want him so bad, but I don't know how to go about it. That all just makes me nervous."

"Look at you, Mr. OhI'mAlwaysSoConfident. Suddenly nervous and all. If anything, I just think you need to talk. Just like me and Santi, gosh. Enough, let's eat until we can't no mo! After that, we collapse on our beds and let sleep take us."

Santino's POV

"YOU DID WHAT!? Adelmo, you better speak to your son, prima che lo uccida!!" [Before I kill him!!]

Says my mom. Lucky for me though, she can't kill me since I'm the mafia king.

I feel as though it's pointless to even say my whole family's pissed at my actions. Even though I did it out of nervousness, it was still a very rash and uncalled for decision.

I did not think and acted on temporary emotions. I didn't think that, although I might be nervous, she loves me. I love her too and she would not run away from me, especially for wanting to marry her. Nometer what, we can't cower from love and we can't make stupid decisions simply because 'we are scared.'

I just have to trust my heart and do what I know is right.
