The next morning I wake up and look around to see Gio standing near the front deck. I quietly make my way towards him and hug him from behind resting my head on his back.
"Morning" I yawn as he turns around so I am looking at him as he towers on me.
"Sleep well?" "Mhh..." "Why did you wake up?" I ask him as he wraps his hands around my waist. "Couldn't sleep. Silas had called me regarding sime mafia issue." "Is this Silas your second in command?" "Silas is more than that. He is my brother. My best friend. My sole protector. He is the guy who can die for me. My father and his were best friends since school but things happened and his dad left the family for his mistress and unborn child leaving a 5 year old Silas with his mother, who in grief of her husband lost her life in a staged accident, leaving him in our care. Mom and dad cared for him as their own son and Silas was my best friend since we were born. Being a year older than me he looks after me as a big brother. He is the best."
"Whoa...poor guy. He lost both of his parents in a week. I love it. Your bond. Even if you are not blood the brother bond you share us very sacred. Why didn't his parents step up to their jobs?"
"Nah...they were more like substitutes. My mom basically raised Silas unlike his mother who was never too sober to look after him. After three years, dad legally adopted Silas but he insisted on continuing the Reyes family name along with ours. So it's not just Silas Reyes...it's Silas Reyes Romanov. He is in Russia for some work and will be back in a week. Don't mind him,he will give you a hard time because he is just to protective of me. I wonder who the girl will be to tolerate his crazy, overprotective ass." Gio said as I giggled.
"Well...I'm glad I have Silas to control my boyfriend's unpredictable ass. At least he will do something withthe help of his own brain." I laughed as Gio gave me a playful smirk.
"Oh..it's on babygirl!!" He screamed as we ran back and forth the yacht laughing and smiling.
As the day ended Gio dropped me home. Well... not before kissing me a thousand times.
As soon as I got home I saw Zeev sitting in the living room scrolling on his phone.
"Oh... you're back...how the date with that twat??" "Oi...don't you call my boyfriend a twat." "You're already protective over him...aww..young love!!" "Shut up!!" "What...just stating the truth, sorellina." "Damn Zeev, you need to get laid... you've become more annoying. Oh have you seen Az?" "Office....third floor." "Thanks dimwit!!" "Oi...don't call me a dimwit!!"
I ran to Azrael's office and knocked on the door after hearing a come in I entered the room and saw Elio and Caspian also there.
"Princess!!! I missed you." Eli said as he hugged me. Real mama bear. "I missed you to Eli....uh...can you and Cas give me a minute with my big bro?" "Okay...don't do anything stupid." Cas said as I gave him a cheeky smile.
"Hi..." I hug Azrael as he hugs me tight. "You were gone one night and I was going crazy." "Aww...you missed me." "Of course i missed my princess. So what was your job?" "Okay...so we are all set for the new car to launch on New Year's Eve or something like that...but I wanted you to bring in Silas Reyes and his soon to be girlfriend Artemis Miller for the New Year party." "Why? Miller as in Russian mafia's dealer?" "Well....Silas has a girlfriend who is in fact Artemis Miller and she is also a new recruit for them so I have to meet her!!!! Please!!!" "Okay okay...I'll give a message through. Now go freshen up we have dinner to make because it's Christmas Eve and it's our traditional. Go." He said as I ran to my room and quickly changed into a cosy hoddie and some Christmas pants and met my family in the kitchen which was definitely a mess.
Mom was telling Eli and kaz about some tarts she needed help in while dad and Caspian were incharge on the turkey. Zuko and Azrael were settings up the table while I was pushed towards Zeev to make the desert.
Family moments make memories. I quickly click some pictures of my family and send a prayer to God.
