"Sorry who the fuck are you!" I shout as I push him away from the wall and he lands on his ass on the floor.
He smiles up at me and stands up, "I'm sorry how rude of me, I'm Luke Regan, and I'm sorry if I startled you I assumed you would be home" he says as he takes a step towards me and reaches out towards me and his bracelet is now more visible, it really is the same I can't believe it, I'm so glad I put my jacket back on in the car otherwise he would see my tattoo and be suspicious.
"Nice to meet you mr.Regan however I believe a conversation should be had at a better time not outside my home at 11:30pm I'm sorry" I say shaking his hands and walking closer to the door in hopes that he would catch my drift.
"Yes of course Miss.Black, however, you have had our request form for over two months and Don is getting rather impatient." He says looking me in the eyes and I can see on his face he is hiding something, but my head is telling me to agree to whatever he needs because I know I can trust him.
Wait what an alliance forms for two months wtf?! "Sorry what form I haven't had any alliance forms from the irish all spring, usually I get a notification when they're sent through" I saw while raising my eyebrows.
"Hey it's getting cold, let's finish this conversation in the car" I say walking back to my car, why you may ask if I need a drink like now.
"Umm okay.. you're not going to kill me right my dad would be pissed" he says and I'm in my head starts to make him lucky at least he has parents.
"No Luke I'm not going to kill you if you must know I need a drink and I'm cold, we could go in the house but the gang would kill you okay, I'm just trying to be nice, they don't react well to new comers" I say as I open the car door and grab the bottle of whiskey sitting on my passenger seat and walk over to my side.
" I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you ma'am truly I just can't help but be afraid, you don't know me after all and have no reason to keep me alive a-" I interrupt him half way.
"Hey are you going to stop giving me ideas and plead your case, why out of all the mafias should I take an alliance with the Irish mafia?" I say looking at him as I take a deep swig and offer him the bottle.
"Well" he says as he takes the bottles and takes a sip, "we are the strongest mafia in the world and we require your help, in exchange we can give you anything you want" he says passing me back the bottle.
"I have everything I want Luke and everything else I want can't be handed to me it's already gone" I say looking out the window.
"Hey there has to be something." Luke says, giving me a small smile.
"Well how about after I help you with whatever your issue it is, you help me track someone down?" I say hoping that the Irish mafia could finally help me end my mother.
"Of course, how about you come to our ball next Saturday? It's for my.... well it doesn't matter, we'll talk about the details then, hmm?" He says with hope all over his face, why can't I just say no ugh!
" okay I'll be there send me the info" I say
Great I'm gonna be spending my birthday with some pretentious jerks instead of in my hoodie drunk, great just great!
"Wait, is there any chance it can be another day?" I say hoping I can somehow get out of spending my birthday with.... Ugh people, I shiver at the thought.
"Im sorry lilith but after the ball we are going back to ireland for a few months, it's the only opportunity available" he says with a small frowning thinking i didn't want to go, which is only half true, i wanted to spend my birthday alone hence the hesitation but on any other day i would love to go to a ball there always so much fun, lots of drama!
"Okay i'll be there to send the info through but hey before you leave i have a question" i say watching his eyes.
"Okay great go ahead"he said, appearing slightly cautious.
"Where did you get the bracelet on your wrist?" I question watching his reaction in case he lies.
"Oh" he says, visibly relaxing and smiling "well that's an easy one, this is my family's symbol , the mark of the irish mafia, all members down to the soldiers carry these" he says showing me his bracelet so i can see it better.
I tense up,wait does that mean that my dad was in the mafia?!
Shit!shit! shiiit! I can't believe i actually believed mom when she said he was a doctor it made sense at the time because of the money for her drugs but I guess it was all the money from selling m-
"Hey you okay?" Luke asks and plaster on a smile and pretends to be unaffected by the news.
"Yes of course I am, just absorbing in the new information, and may I say it is a beautiful symbol" I say in hopes of diverting the attention from me.
"Yes it is, anyways i must bid you a goodnight lilith i have lots to do tomorrow and i can't be late" he says smiling as he passes me back the nearly empty whiskey bottle.
"Okay goodnight luke and by the way i'm bringing my crew" I say as I exit my car and walk towards the door, turning back to wave at him as I walk inside my home.
As soon as i walk inside matteo hugs me,"GIRL WERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN YOUR MISSION SHOULD HAVE ENDED AN HOUR AGO!" he shouts and i glare at him and push him away.
"You should not be yelling at me Matteo especially not right now, first you get me a job for the mafia because you weren't paying attention THEN i find out you haven't told me about some shitty alliance with the irish mafia and then there is the man that was at our door step and no one fucken realised we could have all die!" i scream at the end, he looks at me with his eyes bulging out of his head, "im sorry lily i've been distracted and plus you said it yourself it's just some shitty alliance that you obviously won't accept and for the guy on the doorstep that's a cara problem not a matteo problem she does the tech shit." he says trying to justify his actions.
"Matteo i think i'm gonna take it " i say looking at the floor,"what! Why?" he questions, as he knows i've never liked the thought of an alliance before tonight.
"My dads bracelet, the charm, my tattoo that charm is actually the mark of the irish mafia, matteo i think my dad was in the mafia some how and i want to find out what he was like, who he was and if he ever looked for me as i did him" i say with tears in my eyes, why am i such a bad drunk also i want brownies.
"Oh god babe that's a lot, I'm so sorry of course you want to look into this alliance, when is the meeting?" he says as he hugs me and wipes away a single tear that slipped out.
"My birthday '' I say huffing,"hey, it doesn't mean you can't celebrate as usual, just maybe a little earlier.. Ooh! How about we get the missions done early and you have your celebration of friday?"
"Omg my bestie is a friggin genius! "I say hugging him and kissing his cheek.
"Okay let's go to bed then we need to work hard this week!" he says, pushing me up the stairs with a smack on my ass.
"Goodnight matty!" i shout as i walk up the stairs with a smile on my face, "night lil!" he shouts back, then out of nowhere i hear cara shout back, "night guys!" As I crawled into bed with a smile on my face, today wasn't a bad day.
