The One That Got Away

Chapter 9 ~ "His first?"

I woke up to Enzo spooning me. It was 12 PM. The longest I'd have slept in before. I got up and got ready for the day. I walked out to see Enzo putting on a suit.

"What's the suit for Mr?"

"I have an important meeting today with the American mafia."

"I see."  I fix his tie for him.

"What time are you leaving?" I ask.

"In an hour."

"Do you want me to make you something before you leave?"

"If you would like."

I made sushi. I've been craving sushi forever.

I sat there with the boys and I took the first bite and I shook my imaginary pom poms with a broad smile on my face.

I looked up to see everyone looking at me.

"What?"

"Nothing that was just really adorable." Said Jake.

"What it's good."

"Well we see that."

"Is sushi your favorite food?" Asked Enzo.

"No tacos are." And my eyes lit up.

"Speaking of tacos you guys have never tried my legendary tacos before. I know what I'm making for dinner tonight." And I shook my imaginary Pom poms once again.

"Enzo I think your girl is broken. I've never seen someone as happy about a subject than her."

I hit Jake's arm.

"Enzo she hit me."

"Well you started it."

"Uh uh."

"Yuh huh."

"Children enough bickering. God you guys are like siblings." Enzo said. Jake and I looked at each other.

"Love you bro." I wrapped my arms around his torso.

"Love ya little sis."  He wrapped his arms around my shoulder. And then he put me in a head lock and gave a meme a nuggy.

After they left I decided to go upstairs and chill.

I ended up taking a nap about an hour later and I woke up to big commotion.

I jolted awake and got out of bed. I was wearing Enzo's sweatshirt and some shorts. I had my hair up in a makeshift bun.

I walked downstairs to a pissed off looking Enzo who went into his office. I scanned the room to see the usual guys and a few extra people.

I walked over to Jake.

"Hey whats going on? How'd the meeting go? And why are there other people here?"

"Well it was an ambush. Luckily no one was injured. And we are having a little party tonight with some of the crew. Well actually the party is right now."

"Oh okay. Do you guys still want me to make tacos for you guys?"

"Is it okay if you make them tomorrow. I don't want Enzo to miss out on these 'legendary tacos'."

"Yeah of course."

I whipped up some hamburger helper for Enzo. And knocked on his office door.

"Come in."

I walked in and walked over to his desk.

"I made you some dinner. I didn't want to bother you, but I also wanted you to eat."

"I'll be joining you guys in a second. Thank you for the food though. I'll finish this and then come out."

"Okay. I have to go yell at jake real quick for questioning my taco skills."

I ran out the door closing it, when I noticed this girl eyeing me up and down. I ignored her because I couldn't care less.

I spotted jake with a beer and made my way over to him. I snuck up on him and wrapped my arm around his neck. I bent his head down giving him a nuggy. He swatted my hands away and I let go.

"Hey jake ya wanna do me a favor?"

"What do you want now?"

"Can you walk me to the kitchen to go get some water?"

"Miss gurl you are a senior in high school and you can't get water on your own?"

"Oh come on aren't you supposed to be my big brother ?"

He gave me that 'really Lilah' look.

"Please I don't know that many people here and I don't want to go alone."

"Okay fine, but only because you are my little sister."

And we hooked arms and we walked to the kitchen.

I grabbed my water bottle and filled it up. We walked back out and I saw that the same girl was giving me death stares. So when Jake and I got to our spots,

I whispered to Jake, "hey who's the girl to my right? She keeps staring at me and looking me up and down."

"She's new. She got in about a month ago. We have our suspicions that she has a crush on the boss."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but to be honest... wait you gotta pinky swear you won't tell Enzo because he will kill me if he finds out I told you."

I grabbed his pinky in mine and I pinky swore on it.

"Okay so, you're actually the first girl Enzo has actually acknowledged. He's become a better person with you around. He didn't sleep often before he met you because he had nightmares. I won't tell you what those are about. You would have to talk to him about it. But, you have to let him be ready to. Don't ask about it. He will tell you when the time is right."

I nodded.

Just then I saw Enzo walk out of his office.
