His Mafia Queen

31. Old Friends

~~Lina's P.O.V ~~

The warmth of the sun falls against my body as I peel my eyes open; the memories of last night slowly floating back into my mind. My body is aching for a good stretch but I'm still aching from the one I got last night; I slowly sit up stretching my arms in the air. My hand drops onto the empty spot next to me with a pout falling onto my face. I grab my phone off the nightstand quickly dialing his number "Good Morning Neonata, sleep well?" His soft voice spills through the phone instantly relaxing me "Good Morning Nico, I always sleep well when you tuck me in." A smirk plays on my lips "even after putting you in a small coma you still haven't had enough eh?" His smile is clear in his voice swirling the butterflies in my stomach "I was just napping" I say letting out a soft giggle "I managed to clean you up and change you without you waking and I even kissed you before I left but nothing just a bunch of little snores." I gasp with a wide smile "Nicoli! I don't snore just breathe heavy!" His chuckle comes through the phone "I'm kidding amore mio, you don't snore."

"Nico, why aren't we having this conversation in person?" Another chuckle fills my ears "is that your suddle way of asking where the fuck I am?" I laugh covering my mouth to muffle it "yes, I suppose so." He clears his throat trying not to laugh "I've never known you to be suddle so I guess last night's antics have subdued you for a while. " I let out an exaggerated sigh "you're stalling" he mirrors my sigh "if you must know my queen I have a shipment of supplies coming in and I wanted to ensure everything is accounted for." I pout like a small child feeling left out "why didn't you wake me?" I groan "Lina don't pout, you were dead asleep and I wasn't going to try to wake a sleeping lion." I get up and walk to the bathroom with my phone in hand "so if you're not here am I free to roam Staten island?" A long silence stretches on the other end "with at least four men behind you at all times, ill meet up with you when I'm finished, be safe... and Lina don't kill or get anyone killed unless necessary do you understand me?"

His low growl jolts my body awake "yes Capo." I whisper taking my lip between my teeth "Good. I have to go but I love you and remember to let me know you've made it safe to wherever you go." I do a quick spin in the mirror enjoying the view of me in a silk Pajama set with shorts and a button up "I love you too Capo... I'm also impressed with your pajama choices just so you know." He chuckles "see you later Neonata" the call comes to an end and I find myself feeling a little bored without anyone to tease. I quickly brush my teeth and take a hot shower letting the water cascade around my body for a little longer than usual to help relax them. When I finish washing up I walk out to the closet pulling on a pair of black ripped jeans, a black tank top, a pair of ankle socks, and black combat boots with a black leather jacket to pull it together letting my hair dry naturally. I put on light mascara and eyeliner before pulling on my necklace and rings.

With the slight of hand my daggers are in plain sight and my phone is in my bag fully charged. I walk out the bedroom taking my time to climb to the bottom of the stairs "Good morning Lina" Ms Gretchen smiles "Good morning ma'am. I'm heading out today so I'll be stealing a few men as per Nicolis orders." She giggles with a knowing nod "well alright but you better be home for dinner." I give her a quick nod before walking off to the gym where Pauly and Frank are training the Russian men "good morning" everyone's eyes fall on me halting their movment "morning" they say in unison "so this morning Nicoli is off without me so I'm going out. My king has requested that I take at least four of you so Pauly I need you to stay and train the men while I take Franky and... you two" I say pointing at two of the largest men in the room. "I'll take one of our other men as well" Frank smiles clapping his hands together "about time we get the fuck out this house!" He jokes walking off to get ready, the two Russians stare at me in confusion "Vy dvoye pridete okhranyat' menya, potomu chto ya videl vas v deystvii, teper' gotov'tes'." (You two are coming to guard me because I've seen you in action, now go get ready)
