The Don

Chapter 13

     The next morning, Elias was nowhere in the room when I woke up. As I was surfing through Hulu on the TV, there was knock on the door. I hopped off the bed and walked to the door. I looked through the peep hole before opening the door. It was room service. A woman pushed a cart and I looked at her, confused. 

     "I didn't order any room service..." I told her as I watched her take the lids off the plates. 

     "This is Mr. De Luca's room, correct?" She asked and I nodded. "He wanted me to send this up to his room." She told me with a smile. "Enjoy," she said before walking out the room and closing the door behind her. 

      I walked over to the cart and scoffed. He literally ordered a whole buffet. I pushed the cart to the side of the bed before hopping back up on it. I decided to watch 'The Tourist' as I ate. It was honestly one of my favorite movies as well. 

     I spent almost all day relaxing in bed while binge watching all of Sam Raimi's 'Spider-Man' movies. Of course, there were some naps here and there. Around five in the evening, Elias walked in. I ignored him as I continued to watch the TV. Elias looked at the TV and shook his head. 

    "What? Are you like a Tom Holland or Andrew Garfield kind of 'Spider-Man' fan?" I asked him with narrow eyes. I was ready to fight for the king, Tobey Maguire. Elias rolled his eyes as he walked over to the closet. 

    "I need you to get ready. We're all going out for dinner." Elias told me as he opened the closet. 

    "What should I wear?" I asked him as I rose up. 

    "A dress should be fine." He told me as he pulled out a dress shirt, tux jacket, and pants to match. The whole set was solid black. 

    "Is there a reason we have to dress nice?" 

     "We're having dinner with another mafia family." He told me and I nodded. I went to the closet to find an outfit to wear. I decided on a tight, short, black, corset dress with a black lace, see through, long sleeve turtleneck  to wear under the dress. I grabbed my makeup bag as well. I went into the bathroom to get ready. 

      I went with a simple makeup look and instead of spending a lot of time on my hair, I kept it wavy and placed it in a low ponytail. I grabbed some small dangling diamond cross earrings to wear to match my rosemary. Before walking out of the bathroom, I placed my thumbs into the thumbholes of my lacey shirt. I opened the door and walked over to the closet to grab my black platform heels. I could feel Elias's eyes on me as I pulled and strapped my shoes on.  

     Once I was done, I stood up and looked over at Elias. "Okay, I'm ready." 

    "Let's go." He said and opened the room door for me. I followed him down the hall to the elevator. There were two men dressed in regular clothes already on the elevator. They smirked as they both looked me up and down.

      I walked onto the elevator with Elias. I intertwined my fingers together and looked down at the elevator floor as the two men spoke inappropriate things about me. Elias moved behind me and I began to watch him in the elevator's reflection. He looked back at the men and even though I was unable to see his expression, the men had a look of terror on their faces. As soon as the elevator doors opened when we got to the lobby, Elias grabbed my hand and pulled me off the elevator with him. 

      I looked down at our hands, and then back up at him. I bit my lip so I could stop myself from smiling. Before we made it to the others, he let go of my hand. "Wow, you look amazing!" Mia said as she looked me up and down.
