La Mà·fia

26

We walked into the dinning area where the whole of the house sat he had more guards than we did.
He showed me over to the table l slid my arm from his and he took the chair for me and I sat down, he pushed it in before sitting at the top of the table. "Good evening everyone I'd like to introduce Vallea Lupa she is my guest, so be nice to her. You may eat."
    The food was passed around the table so many meats. I had no idea what to choose I was also wondering why he was treating me so well seen I was a pawn in his game to get noticed by my family. I wasn't really sure of all the details of his hidden agenda, but I was sure as hell going to find out.
After dinner he introduced me to his family and all of the guards who were protecting his home and me.
One of them walked up to him talking into his ear. He looked at Domenico. "Brother would you mind taking care of my angel?"
"It would be my pleasure."
"I won't be long." He said, kissing her cheek.
"So how did you like dinner?"
"It was nice I'm stuffed."
He smiled, laughing.
"I was was wondering." He said, rubbing the back of his neck.
He was so cute, get a grip Val stop fraternising with the enemy. I just looked at him.
He looked at me, he looked a little flustered. "I was wanted to ask if you'd hang with me, we're almost the same age and I'm sure you'll get bored while he's off doing what he does. I can show you around if you like."
"That would be nice."
He smiled. "Maybe we can do some laps too."
"You swim?"
"I do."
"Cool. I'd like  that."
"Are there any other sport you are into? We have a gym, or we could go for a run."
"I'm very competitive."
"So am I."
I smiled. "I like you, your not an asshole like him."
"I like you to." He smiled, shyly.
"So did you check the footage?"
"We did sir you'll be amazed we were."
"Then show me."
They played the footage he smiled this girl was clever. Who ever had left those doors open would die. He watched glued as she done some kind of gymnastic moves over the bars landing gracefully on the ground on her feet and not her ass. She could teach these lot a thing or two. 
"She's good isn't she sir?"
"Indeed." He paused. "Have you found the rest of her family yet?"
"No sir we're still searching."
"Find them. I want every thing on them her included."
"We're trying. We have our best hacker on their trail. Their systems are lock tight by a lot of fire walls and security passwords, most are incrypted."
"Find her files. I want them on my desk by the end of the week."
"Sir."
He walked out closing  the door behind him going back in to the lounge where Vallea and  Domienico were talking and laughing. He walked over to them. "You may be excused brother."
He bowed. "Good night Val." He smiled 
"Yeah, night."
"You shouldn't let him call you that."
"Why? all my friends do."
"So he's a friend now?"
"Jealous? Don't be. He made me feel welcome, more than you ever did." She said, walking away.
He grabbed her wrist. She looked at it dead. "I am trying."
"Try harder and  then I may not think you're an asshole."
"Your a clever girl, you should really learn to respect others."
"Oh I do. I just have no respect for those who have no respect for me."
"Oh I do.'
"I doubt it. You kidnapped me and brought me here to gain the attention of my family."
"Did you do out of school activities?" He said, quickly  changing the subject.
"Why are you asking?"
"I watched the footage.  I must say you are very subtle. So what sport did you take up?"
"Gymnastics."
 He smiled evily. "I'd like you to train with Domienico. I know you both swim and I'd like you to show my men a thing or two."
"Why?"
"I want you with us Vallea."
"I..."
"Just think about it."
