Italian-American Mafia: Origin Story

33.

Persephone Pov

'We're done, how do you like them'

We all looked at the tattoo and we looked at each other's.

'I love them thank you' I said while the other two agreed. We went to the counter and paid for them and left the shop.

We got a tattoo symbolizing that we would always have each other's back. It's "see you on the other side".

Hades got the "See you" part, I got the "On the" part, and Darrius has the "Other side". It's quite simple but has a deep meaning to it.

Since we want to build a mafia I've read about how some mafias go to war and some of them make it out alive. We always say see you on the other side to each other, because it makes us want to fight harder and stay alive.

And it's not just about the mafia it's about life too. Since our upbringings weren't the finest, we never know what life has in store for us. So just by saying this slang means, come back to us or we will actually kill you.

I actually have two people to lean on and I don't want them taken away from me.

'So what are we going to do next' Hades questioned.

'Me and Darrius have some errands to run so we'll meet you back at the house' I said and pulled Darrius by the arm, leaving a confused Hades.

'Oww oww, ok ok what the hell'

'Listen Hades birthday is tomorrow and I want to do something special for him and your going to help me' I said

'But whyyyyyy' he whined.

'Because as his girlfriend and his best friend we are obligated to do this, so shut you trap and come on'.

He mumbled something under his breath but I shook me head and we walked to the shop. We kept talking about what to get him and what he may like.

We also talked about how our business is going discreetly of course. After I got kicked out, Hades called up Darrius and told him what happened and then Darrius came over and we talked some more.

I even cried again which is not like me. We got to talking about the weed plant that Hades found and Darrius thought it was a good idea to start selling it.

We agreed because we really didn't have that much to loose and once we started we couldn't stop. Business surprisingly started to get big and more and more people want our weed.

Of course we expanded it and did different things. Darrius created electronic weed because he has a degree in engineering.

I started putting the weed into food, which created the edibles part and let me tell you, those are very popular.

And then Hades just grows and keeps the plant flourished and sells them by grams or pounds. So we separated to get 3x the income.

Another thing is that we started selling cocaine as well. Of course we don't taste that but we kind of just hope it's good.

'We're here' Darrius said.

We walked into the mall and looked around the different shops. I told him that we need to go our separate ways because we can kill time a lot faster.

I went to Victoria secret and got some outfits just for him. Me and Hades relationship is going good by the way.

He makes me feel safe and secured. I can trust him with my whole life. I honestly am falling for Hades and it's scary but also exciting.

The feeling is foreign to me and it's a little bit overwhelming but I can't help to welcome the feeling.

I keep looking around different stores until I come to one that catches my eye. I go in there and walk around until I see the perfect gift for him.

'Excuse me how much is it for this' I asked.

'This is about $350'

'Ok can I get it and have something engraved in it' I asked.

He nodded his head and took it out from the glass compartment. I told him what I wanted to have engraved and paid him.

He wrapped and sealed the gift and handed it back to me. I said my byes to him and texted Darrius to asked where he was at.

He said he was in the watch store so I made my way towards him. I entered the watch store and saw him. It looks like he picked out a gift and the lady was wrapping it for him while he was attempting failing to flirt with her.

'Darrius leave this poor girl alone she's obviously not impressed with your flirting skills' I said teasingly.

He mocked me and put his hand over his heart and acted like I wounded him. He paid the lady and we went out of the store and exited the mall.

I told Darrius that I was hungry and so we stopped to get something to eat. We talked about everything and nothing.

'So since we're seniors and college is around the corner where do you want to go' he asked.

I've always thought about going to New York which is all the way across the country since we live in Washington.

'I've always wanted to go to New York but who knows if I will EVER get in, where do you want to go'

'Well since I'm Russian I want to go to college out there and learn about my culture and where I came from.'

I awwed him and pinched his checks which he swatted my hand away. We kept bickering and play fighting until our names were called because our order was ready.
