SAY YOU WONT LET GO
-darling your love is more than worth it's weight in gold-

Who in the fuck is knocking so heavily on this door?

I get out of Keilani's bed, walking to the door. I open it, seeing my brother and my underboss and my very, very drunk girlfriend.

"Hey moody." She throws herself at me.

"What happened?" I lift her up, letting Stefan and Enzo walk in. "And why is she drunk?"

"She was at Harold's bar. I didn't know if it was your girl or not." Enzo closes the door, "She's chatty."

"She is." I set her on the couch, "What are you doing here?" I ask Enzo.

"Wanted to visit my brother." He sits on the couch. "She's... uh... i didn't realise her leg was bleeding."

I look at the red staining her white couch.

"Forgive me, i'll be back in a second." I lift her up again, carrying her to our room. I take her into the bathroom, sitting her on the toilet seat. "What happened, baby?" I undo her pants, pulling them down to reveal the bandage wrapped around her thigh. "Oh, baby." I lean her back.

"It's fine." She slurs.

"It's not, baby. It's still bleeding." I unwrap it, seeing a fucking stab wound in her thigh. "Keilani, how...?"

She grabs my wrist, taking a breath like she was about to cry, "Can you be nicer to me?"

"I think i'm pretty nice to you." I take the first aid kit out from under the sink.

"Yes." She kisses my wrist, "But... But like this nice."

She wants me to be cute and caring and lovey.

"I'll try, baby." I disinfect the wound, "I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow, amore."

She nods her head, not listening to a word i say as she grabs my hair.

I clean around the stab wound and put a band aid over it, wrapping the bandage back around her thigh. "Sleep it off." I lift her up, carrying her to our bed.

"Don't go." She lays on her side.

"I'm getting you water, i'll be right back." I pinch her cheek, walking into the living room.

"It's a nice place." Enzo cracks open a can of beer. "Is it yours?"

"No, it's hers. I'm sure she'd be okay with y'all staying the night." I grab two bottles of water and her chips, "Just don't make a mess."

I walk back into her room, she was starting to strip. I watch her as she gets completely naked, kicking her clothes off the bed. "Come cuddle."

"Can you put a shirt on?" I twist the cap to the bottle open, picking up my shirt off the floor. I give it to her and she throws it back in my face.

"Too sticky."

I smile, holding the water to her lips as she drinks it slowly, almsot choking, then she lays back again. "Come lay with me, Ciro."

I sit down on the edge of the bed, "You're drunk as fuck."

"I'm tipsy." She rolls her eyes, looking at me with a small smile. "You're so pretty, it isn't fair."

"You're prettier." I wipe an eyelash from her cheek, "Much prettier."

"No." She says loudly, giggling straight after. "Ciro is the prettiest."

I couldn't help but smile at her, "You're so fucking cute, i can't wait until you wake up and remember this."

She sticks her tongue out, then smiles in adoration as our eyes linger, she parts her lips and then puckers them. I kiss her, a couple of times before she pulls away, "I love you." She says quietly.

My chest tightened.

"Tell that me when you're sober." I hold her face in my hand.

"We both know i won't." She kisses the palm of my hand, "Too stubborn."

"I know but i'll wait for you to say it."

She pouts a little bit, on the verge of tears, "I always..." She lets a tear run, "I always hide my feelings."

I wipe her tear away with my thumb., "I know you do."

"I won't ever say it." She cries harder, "So listen now. I love you, Ciro Ferrari. And i shouldn't but i do, i love you."

I wipe away her tears, "It's okay."

She cuddled up to me, i pull the blanket over her, rubbing her shoulder. "You know." She grips onto my hand, "You know, you know that i have no friends." She literally starts sobbing, "Because i'm annoying"

"You're not annoying."

"No one tolerates me." She looks up at the ceiling, wiping her cheeks herself, then she calms herself down. "Okay, i'm horny."

I laugh. "Go sleep, baby."

She groans, "Fuck me?"

"Not while you're drunk. Certainly when you're sober." I flip the light off, the side lights lighting up. I lay down beside her, her naked body clinging to mine.

She rests her head in the crook of my neck, "When you're free, can we go on vacation?"

"Anywhere you want baby, the world is ours."

She smiles into my neck, "You smell like baby powder."

"Thank you?"

She kisses my neck gently, right where i like it, right on my pulse point.

I let her keep sucking on my neck, then after she leaves me with a hickey, she passes out.

I stay with her for a while, then get out of bed to clean up our mess and head to the living room.

I got a missed call of Agent Hamada, then a msssage saying Keilani killed Maxim and got hurt in the process but refused to go to the hospital.

I'll take her in the morning.

Enzo walks back, "She is pretty."

"She's breathtaking."

"She calls you moody."

"She also calls me beautiful."

"I like her, you have my permission."

I look down, "So Carlo told you i asked for mamma's ring?"

He smiles, "Brother of ours can't keep his mouth shut."

I laugh, "I want her to meet Carlo before i do anything, she's not ready yet. I said i'll wait until her next birthday."

"Which is?"

"August 10."

"Mammas birthday?" He looks at me.

"She doesn't know that yet-"

"Ciro!" Keilani literally screams from the bedroom. "Get your fat ass back here, i want to cuddle."

I stand up, "Goodnight brother." I bow my head, walking into the room. "I was locking the door."

"Don't lie to me." She waits until i lay down to completely wrap herself around me.

I can't wait until she wakes up.
