Everyone has heard of the Godfathers the definitive representation of what it is to be an Italian Mafioso, from the dusty mountainside of Sicily to the posh New York avenues.
Some choose to leave the fatherland for greener pastures; some turn the du...

It was a Saturday morning so I woke up around 9 am as per my usual weekend routine. I finished my morning routine and tied my hair in two cute buns. I wore blue dungaree shorts and paired the outfit with white nikes. I checked my reflection in the mirror, I found it really cute.

I went down and ate French toast and banana milkshake before heading to the Romano mansion for my"babysitting duties". It sounds childish and disrespectful to Giovanni but he needs observation more during the weekends when he can be distracted as there is no concrete structure to follow, which is present during the weekdays thanks to school.
I pressed the doorbell once and a maid opened the door, I greeted her and moved to the living area where I spotted Mrs. Sophia Romano sitting on the couch reading the latest issue of 'Cosmopolitan'.
On seeing me she kept the magazine on the teapoy and greeted me warmly before proceeding to hug me.We sat down on the couch and after exchanging iceties and enquiring about the well being of each other's families the conversation shifted to more serious topic i.e Giovanni's addiction and improvement.
"I heard your tutoring in prepping for the algebra test helped Giovannu ace it?" she said "Umm I guess it did, I tried my best I am glad it turned out well." I said coyly. "Aww you are downplaying your efforts, I can observe him walking on the right path since Lorenzo appointed you, I really hope he can keep walking on this path and get rid of his addiction" she said with a tinge of sadness in her voice .
I replied in an assuring tone "don't worry aunty Sophia, I promise I will make it alright and he will be addiction free by the end of this year" "I am glad you are helping out, I feel with you by his side he will pull himself out of this quicksand he has stuck his life in." she said "Hope so. I am going upstairs to his room now." I said with a smile and took the stairs.
As I was walking up I realized my folly, I had made a promise which was a sure possibility under normal circumstances but when Giovanni is in the picture how can things be normal?
My promise of getting me clean by the end of the year is highly unlikely, I shouldn't have made that promise. I was lost in these thoughts and I didn't realize someone was standing in front of me and I smashed straight into them headfirst and fell, I was about to hit the floor when a pair of strong hands grabbed me by the waist. "I used to think you were a baby, now I realized you are blind as well" it was Giovanni teasing me with a chuckle.
