Unexpected love

Wrapped

Jessie

"WHAT?" me and Leo both yelled in sync.

"Leo's family hates me, but if they see their only son dating my niece, they might actually begin to respect me. And they're respect can help the vipers a insane amount!"  Don begged for us to comply but I was not having it.

"No fucking way! I'm not dating him so you can have respect!" I gave my case to my uncle.

"And I'm not dating her." Leo pleaded.

"You guys wouldn't actually be dating! It would be fake and it's only for a week."

"One week?!" Me and Leo said in sync, again.

"Yes one week. You  both work for me and when you join your loyalty is given to your boss. And in that case that me! So you will help me help our mafia. END OF DISCUSSION." Don barked at both me and Leo.

I was astonished and frustrated. Leo was the last person I wanted to fake date even if it was for a week.

But deep down I was sort of scared of my uncles power, and I really didn't want to leave this place. This was my home.

As hard as it was to let the word escape my mouth.. "fine" I did it anyway.

"Fine? FINE? no I'm not fine with this! Me and her don't work!" Leo snapped.

"I don't give a rats ass Leo! You two will do as I say god damn it. Or you can pack your bags and get the fuck out of my base!" Don's voice boomed with anger.

I could see the fear and shock overflowing on Leo's face.

He hesitated but finally agreed. Me and Leo both left Don's office pissed off and steaming.

I went to the training room to release some of my built up fury.

I went over to the fighting range and wrapped my hands.

I learned how to wrap my hands when I was young when I used to do boxing.

I patted a little bit of chalk on my hands and stood in front of the rubber dummy.

I swung my fist at the dummy hitting it with a large force. It felt so good to hit something.

I continued to hit the dummy in the chest. I kept my elbows in and focus on my fists.

The way I would use all my strength to hit the dummy's chest.

I force I pushed into each punch, the way I tucked my elbows in and the pain slowly entering my knuckles.

I was so focused on my hitting that nothing would be able to distract me, except one thing.

I noticed the door to the training room open and of course, Leo struts in.

He was wearing only basketball shorts and runners. My gaze immediately went to his abdomen and my jaw dropped.

Was this man sculpted by a fucking Greek god? I hadn't realized my staring until Leo made eye contact with me. I snapped out of my trance and went back to being the bitch I normally was to Leo.

"What are you doing here." I questioned him.

"Probably the same thing as you, beating the shit out of stuff." He replied.

"Can't you do it later..you know when I'm not here."

"I could..but I don't want to." He smirked at his sincere reply.

I wanted to replace the dummy with him. He pissed me off more than anyone ever has.

He walked over to the dummy next to me. He went to wrap his hands but was clearly struggling.

"Aww does baby Leo not know how to wrap hands?" I teased him while talking in a baby voice.

"Shut up you don't even know how to wrap." He snapped back at me.

"Ohhh but I do." I teased returning to my hitting.

"Oh yea? Then show me." He challenged.

"Fine." I grinned. I walked over to him and took the wrap from his hands.

"Gimme your hand." I ordered.

He complied, putting his hands in my palm.

As soon as hit finger tips touched my skin I felt tingles.

What the fuck?

I shuddered and began to wrap his hands.

"So why are you here?" Leo asked me.

"Is Leo making small talk?" I teased once more.

Leo scoffed. "Never mind, forget I asked."

"Ok ok I was joking. I wanted to join because I wanted to find a better place, I wanted a place of my own. You know?" I replied as I finished wrapping his left hand.

"No, no I don't know." He chuckled.

"Shut up." I laughed back.

I finished wrapping his right hands and put chalk on both of them.

"There you go baby Leo, a wrapped and safe." I teased him again in the same baby voice as I booped his nose with the tip of my finger that was covered in chalk leaving a mark on the tip of his nose.

I laughed at the sight and walked back to me dummy.

Leo walked over to his dummy and hit it. He had a good hit. He was most definitely strong.

I hit mine and continued to. It felt nice. I wasn't angry anymore. Thank god.

After hitting for awhile I stopped myself, and looked over at Leo.

"Why are you here?" I interrupted his fighting.

"I don't know.. I wanted to hurt people I guess. Same reason as you I guess. I needed a purpose." He responded back to me.

"So you do know you liar." I laughed.

"Maybe I do." He chuckled in response.

"Well I'm out of here. Later babe." I teased him once more before taking off my wrapped and leaving.

I went back to my room to read and relax a bit. I needed some time to myself.

As I was reading I was rudely interrupted by a loud ringing coming from the phone on my nightstand.

I picked it up and spoke.

"Hello."

"Hi Jessie Rolondo, you must pack your bags. We are all leaving for Las Vegas in about 1 hour." The woman on the other end informed.

"Ok thank you for letting me know." I replied before hanging up the phone.

There was a suitcase located in the walk in closet. I grabbed it and began packing.

I forgot about the fact that Leo would be my fake boyfriend for a week.

I did my best to forget about it, but it was pretty difficult due to how angering it was.

I could never love him. This was going to be hard.
