Mafia

Chapter Eight

When I finally reached home, the adrenalin had finally evacuated my body leaving me a sobbing mess, I had to no clue how to raise a child, no mother to support me and the father was never going to be an option again. I was however exited to see Mia who I knew would have endless support and love for me as soon as I stepped pass the doors, but I also knew that she would be expecting a story of everything that had happened and I wasn't ready to relive everything again.

However I pushed myself to enter the apartment, and as I did I was embraced into a tight and slightly overbearing hug. "I have missed you!" Mia stated as she finally released the clutch that she had so tight around me. "Tell me everything that happened?" I shook my head not wanting to speak about it as I offered her a small smile before heading upstairs.

My heart was shattered not because I loved him, simply because I wanted to live the fairy tale of a happy family, an a man that could care and look after me, however it had only now came to my attention that those dreams where destroyed. But that was his chose, he continue to sleep around knowing that I was the mother to his child, and because of the complete disrespect I lost all hope.

I had fallen asleep crying and worrying about everything, however today is a new day, and I need to focus and think about the future. First things first I desperately need a job, and alongside that I might as well sell the car that I stole of him. I decided to arrange plans for selling the car first as I still needed to eat and get washed before I begin looking for jobs.

After taking a few pictures of the car and a brief description I posted it online, I had included the number plate because of the fact that It is a private plate and therefore is worth slightly more money. And it wasn't long before a large amount of people where instead in it, and sending me messages about viewing it. I arranged for a man, around his late 40's, who had grey hair and pinched eyebrows to come and view it, because he looked like a man of wealth and someone who was not a time waster.

It wasn't until around 3 o'clock did he arrive, he had another man in his seat, a beautiful gentleman with dark black hair and a dark beard. His eyes were bright blue and every time he smiled his pearly white teeth came out on display. I quickly learnt that his name was Fin and that the other man was his in fact his father, I already knew that his name was Paul from the message he had sent me about viewing the car. They knocked on my door and I passed them the keys to take it out on a test run and to have a inspection of the inside.

"So where did you get this from?" The handsome man asked his thick accent coating each word that he said, as I placed a hand onto my pregnant stomach for support. He reminded me slightly of Giovanni perhaps it was the accent or the attire that he was wearing regardless I do not need to think about him at all. He's in the past.

"I brought it from a family friend, who no longer wanted it, however I am having a baby so I can't afford to keep up with the expenses." I say my eyes meeting his before looking away at who I presumed was his father, who was closely inspecting the inside of the car.

"Congratulations! What a blessing!" He says smiling towards me, his teeth once again on show as a small smile of my own crept up onto my lips. His father came back towards the both of us, limping slightly on his right foot.

"I will leave you to sort out the arrangements of the car boy! I need to sit down!" He says before hobbling back towards the car that he had arrived in.

"Well Valerie, that's your name right?" He asks as I nod my head, his name had completely escaped my own head, which made me panic slightly. "I am willing to buy your car however I do have exception."

"And what is that?"

"Let me take you out to dinner tonight?" He stated as I smiled slightly, he knew I was pregnant and yet he was still willing to make a move. I shouldn't accept the offer, however I also understood that when I have a child there will be no time for dating or meeting others, so that was a good opportunity for me.
