My Ex Mafia

Nicole

"No. I'm giving you what you've been asking for since you got here. Now that Alberto is no longer an issue you're free to go, if you have any further questions, I'll answer them tomorrow." He said in a soft tone. His expression seemed sad but neutral as if he was trying to cover up how he was really feeling.
I wanted to say something but I chose to keep it to myself not wanting to anger him or make him worse. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy about the idea of going back to living a normal life away from Sylvester, but I've been living it for so long that I don't even know what normal is anymore.

It was still the evening and I thought Sylvester would come down for dinner but he didn't. He just stayed in his room for the rest of the day.  I grabbed his plate of food off the table and decided to go to his room and give it to him but I was stopped. "I wouldn't advice that Nicole" Rico said as he walked past me with a glass of whiskey in his hand.
Maybe he was right, I shouldn't go upstairs to Sylvester, he didn't seem to be in the best mood since he came back and I didn't want to make it worse, but we really needed to talk about what happened so I took a deep breath in and walked upstairs to his room.

I made my way to his door and knocked but it was already opened. The room was dark but the lights to his bathroom were on which meant he was in there. "Sylvester?" I said as I placed the plate of food on his dresser as I made my way closer to the bathroom.
He didn't respond so I called his name once more making him grunt loudly. "One day Nicole, just one day." He said as he came out the bathroom shirtless and annoyed. The scent of alcohol on him was strong which made my face change. "Gosh have you been in here drinking the whole day?!" I said loudly but he ignored my question and walked past me making me roll my eyes.

"We really need to talk Sully" I said but he just stood in front of the dresser staring at the plate of food. "You brought up my dinner" he said clearly ignoring what I was saying. " Sylvester we need to ta-" "talk I know, you've been saying that the whole goddamn day, it's annoying" he said as he made his way towards me."well if it's so annoying why couldn't we just gotten it over with when I asked you" "because I'm not in the mood Nicole! And you refuse to listen! I know that you want to speak I heard you the first time. But I told you that we will talk tomorrow!" He yelled looking me dead in the eyes with rage.

I froze in fear as my eyes begin to gloss. Sylvester wasn't one for yelling at me, other people yes but he tried his best around me to not scare me but I was scared. People ended up dead when he got angry and I knew he wouldn't hurt me but I couldn't shake the thought of him actually doing so if I ever pushed him to it.
I walked towards the door ready to leave but he closed it and trapped be between his arm and the door. He placed his head softly on my forehead as I pinched my eyes closed. I could feel his breath on my skin as he calmed down.

"You're still afraid of me after everything I've done for you. I would never hurt you Nicole and I would never let anyone hurt you and if they did you know I'd take care of them. Everything you want, everything you need I do for you. You have my undivided attention everyday, you know I'd do anything for you even when you decide to run to another country to get away from me I'd still do anything you want."  He said calmly and softly "everything that you want to know I will tell you tomorrow so Nicole please just give me this one day where you don't give me an endless headache with all your bullshit" he said and pushed himself off the door as he walked towards the dresser to grab a shirt.

I stood still with my back pressed against the door afraid of doing something wrong. "I'd appreciate it if you left now Nicole" he slammed the dresser cupboard shut and walked back into the bathroom where he shut the door. I left his room and made my way back downstairs speechless. "I warned you" Rico chuckled from behind the couch making me roll my eyes.
"Fxck you Rico" he laughed at my response. I made my way to the couch and stood beside Rico as he watched TV.  "What's his deal today anyways?" I asked as I folded my arms. "You're joking right?" He looked at me confused trying to read my facial expressions."You Nicole, you're his problem, he's just processing everything that happened, this is how he is. Give him his space and you'll see tomorrow he'll be back to normal." He said with a smile and I sighed, I knew that the moment I said Kevin's name it would cause some kind of problem, but I thought it would be like the usual, we fight say things we don't mean then find a way past it, but that wasn't the case here.

He wouldn't even look at me for longer than 5 seconds he just pushed the topic away for another day and got drunk. Maybe it was a good thing for us to discuss on a different day but something inside me wasn't okay, like there was something more to Sylvester's mood today but I just couldn't tell and I doubt Rico knew either.
