XXVII. Risen

I haven't seen her in 2 months, I haven't touched her, smelled her comforting scent, talked to her or even seen her And there she was.

Staring right back at me with those brown eyes. I wipe more of kitrill's brains off of me and walk past everyone, ignoring the chaos.

the chaos and bullets that flew around me. She is my focus. I pull my formal suit jacket off my body along with the dress shirt under it as I walk to her still body.

Once I finally broke the distance between us  I pulled her into me with my arm wrapped around her waist,  she didn't hesitate to hug me back.

I swear my neck was about to break the way she held onto it but I don't care because I'm pretty sure I'm hurting her waist too.

It's been so long. So this is the mafia love story no one talks about? Embracing each other in the middle of a gun fight? Funny, huh.

"Happy birthday." I whisper into her ear while smiling. She pulls away from the hug before she strikes me across my face.

One month and two weeks ago

"How is the status of the Russian, brother?" Leonardo asks me on the phone. It's been two full weeks since I've been dead.

It was hard to leave Anna but one day she'll understand my plan. Leonardo is the only one who knows I'm alive because he's the only person's skills I need to complete this.

"Found him in Australia, he's hiding." I simply say while pushing the shovel into the ground, pulling up dirt , and throwing it behind me.I got to jaxson voltov before I got to kitrill.

That fucker ran away from us that night and thought he would get away with it? Now that I didn't have Anna's mafia clean up crew I had to do it myself. I've always been dependent on the clean up team, i thought my job used to be hard but never realized hiding bodies is harder.

"Are you going to Australia?" Leonardo asks. "No, I'm not going to him, I'll bring him to us." I say while shoveling the last pile of dirt."How?" He questions. "At my funeral." I state,

I then roll jaxson's body into the grave I dug. "Update me on the house." I demand my brother as I begin to push the dirt back in the hole."The kids are fine, fun to make fun of. I made them take shrooms yesterday and I think they're still seeing colors."

Leonardo chuckles."Sober up Penny and Averi right now! If anything happens to him you don't want Anna to fucking kill you." I say. "Right. Anna." He stops laughing.

"Right? Anna? What's wrong with her?" I stop moving dirt for a second. "Well she's not having the time of her life after your death, lad." He says "I haven't seen her since." He finishes.

"Since what?"

"Since you died! We got a rental house and she has stayed in her room since." He says sadly. "That's- what the f- no- is she eating?"I panic slightly. "We bring her food, but..." he pauses after the last word.

"Get her to fucking eat. I gotta go." I hung up the phone. What the fuck am i doing?

Now.

"Happy birthday."  I whisper into her ear while smiling. She pulls away from the hug before she strikes me across my face.

"I deserved that." I whisper. She holds my face  and brings her lips to mine. I hold her chin up to get easier access.

The kiss was filled with passion and hurt, miss and love, lust and loss. The kiss was everything we were missing for the past two months.
