The Mafia Queen

Soft

Austin's POV

Telling her about my past was the hardest thing I've ever done, I've never told anyone about my past not even Tony. I felt like I could trust her, she made me feel like I could rely on her. Her energy was like mine but softer, she was a mini me but she wasn't broken like me. Having her so close made me feel like I have to protect her, this was a weird feeling for me because I've never felt this way about anyone before. She truly was different and unique, I continued brushing her hair until I was certain she was fully asleep. She looked to peaceful, she looked beautiful and she looked like she was delicate. Her skin was so smooth unlike mine that had scars everywhere, her hair was long and silky. Her eye lashes were thick and long, and her lips looked to be so soft. She was beautiful, and now I realized she has a soft side and a vicious side. She brings out the old me that I thought had died when my father became abusive, I was lost in my train of thought I didn't realize my eyes were shut and I was drifting into sleep.

Morning came and I woke up with her still on my lap, she looked so comfortable I didn't want to disturb her sleep. I starred at her for some moments then, " She's pretty when she's asleep right?" a voice came from the hallway and it was her friend. " What?" I looked at her direction, " I mean Laura, she's cute isn't she?" she spoke softly as she approached us. I just looked at her then back at Laura, she was beautiful and I couldn't get enough of her beauty. " I'm sorry about my questions yesterday, I tend to be impulsive at times... maybe that's why Laura is always there to save me" she sighed, " What do you mean?" I raised an eyebrow at her. " Laura may act all tough and cold towards people but she's actually a sweetheart, she spent a lot of her time saving my ass from a lot of predators and dangers... I guess you could say she protects what she loves" she looked at me waiting or my response but it never came. I just looked at her then slowly got up from where I was seated and placed a pillow under her head, I gently raised her head the set it down on the pillow before leaving.

" Nice tattoos" Jada commented as I walked passed her, " Not really" I looked back at her then walked away. I headed to my room and started preparing for the day, I then got a call from Tony telling me that I should meet him at the Black Widows meeting spot. I got ready and was set to leave, as I was about to reach the front door I heard a voice behind me causing me to stop. " You're gonna leave without eating?" the voice said, I turned and saw Laura standing a few feet away from me. " No, I have some work to take care of" I was about to leave, " Is it a mission?" she asked causing me to stop again. " I don't know, Tony told me to meet him" I explained, " What can I do?" she asked. " I don't know, maybe look into some files and confirm everything is running smoothly" I turned and left before she could say anything else. I got into a car that was driven by one of my loyal guards and we set off to the spot.

30 minutes into the car ride and I was thinking of last night and I realized it was the first time I've ever peaceful, it was the first time I ever told anyone about my past and actually felt at peace with it. Sleeping next to her made everything clear and peaceful, she has an angelic aura that I've never come across. Perhaps working with her won't just be an escape from my father but also a therapeutic benefit for me, " We're here boss" my driver's voice snapped me back into reality. I stepped out of the vehicle and a guard stepped out with me but stood next to the car to give us privacy, " What?" I snapped at Tony. " Woah, calm down stallion" he held his hands in front of him sarcastically, " I'm serious dude, why am I here. Why didn't you just come to my place?" I placed my hands in my pockets, " And risk your girl blowing my brains out? Fuck no!" he rolled his eyes. " Since when are you afraid of girls" I snickered, " Shut up!" he nudged me. " Seriously though, what did you want to talk about?" I tried to keep a serious face, " Your dad... he wants IN with the mafia or he threatened to sue you for illegal dealings with his company" Tony handed me a paper.. well a letter.
