Delilah Morecelli

Chapter 39

"Son get in here I need to speak with you." My dad says as I pass his office. I go in and see him looking nervous. This can't be good I sat down and waited for him to speak. He takes a big breath in and finally looks at me.

"I know you love Delilah with all your heart but you're going to need to leave her." I blinked at him, and then I started laughing. "You're funny, why on earth would I be needing to leave Delilah? You'd have to kill me first."

He rubs his head and sighs. "Your next in line to take over the Russian mafia Nikolai, after your graduation you will be needing to go back to Russia to train and get your education over there. I know leaving Delilah will be difficult but she'll understand, she's a very supportive girlfriend."

I stand up to leave the room my dad following after me trying to cheer me up. "Nikolai you still have time don't worry about it now." I slam the door in his face and head to my bed only to see Katerina sitting there. "Not now Katerina, get out please." I unintentionally raised my voice at her

She pouts and stands up. "You're mean that's why I like Aleksandr and Dimitwi more. I just wanted to ask if you can call Cynthia and Delilah to come play with me."

I sigh and feel like an asshole. "I'm sorry, I love you. I'll call them da?" She nods with a smile and leaves my room. I lay down and think about Delilah and our future. I've never thought of leaving her, hell I was so adamant of being there all my life for her.

I guess my dad was being lenient with my letting me go to the same schools as her when he knew I would have to leave her. I look at my nightstand and see a pink package that wasn't there before.

I grabbed it and sit up to open it. It's from Delilah,

"My dearest Nikolai,
this feels weird I don't know how you do it but I'm practicing for the future letters I'll have to write. Anyways I want to give you this lovely present I bought with lots of love. I hope you like it and brings a smile to that grumpy face of yours.
-love Delilah."

Little did she know, I put the note aside and open the wrapping paper. Inside was a sweater with my name embroidered, I put it on and I feel something inside of the sleeves. I unfold the sleeve and see her name in pink with a little heart embroidered on there.

My new favorite sweater. I look more inside the box and see a photo album. I open it up and see photos. The was a sticky note. To add to your picture wall. I put them up instantly. It was one of me and her at the ball dancing.

She had a big smile on her face when I lifted her up. The way I looked at her displayed all the feelings I have for her. She is the only one for me. I love her I'm so insanely in love with that girl. She makes me feel ten times happier when she's around and the fact that she's finally mine makes me feel territorial over her

I look at the other picture frame. It was of the group in Halloween. Aleksandr was looking stupid as usual. Cynthia was throwing up the peace sign and Delilah looking cute as ever with her gorgeous smile. I was looking at all of them with a confused expression. I laugh at the picture and hang it up.

I sit on my desk and write her a letter. When I'm finished I go to my dads room. "Nik my precious baby come here." I roll my eyes at my mom but still walk towards her. "You look sad moya lyubov what's wrong." I shook my head and in return I got my hair pulled.

"I said what's wrong?" She let go and I rubbed my scalp. "Ow, I just need to talk with dad about the training in russia." She smooths my hair and starts to give me a whole life lesson that I zoned out.

"I know you aren't listening, anyways i bought Delilah an early Christmas gift along with her family I'm so excited to spend Christmas with them. Oh let me get my book." I groan to myself this woman love planning events she even has a whole book of ideas and pictures of how the event should look like.

I won't lie I love helping her plan things it's been two hours of us trying to decide on what decorations should stay and go. We we're currently debating on the colors for the tablecloth when my dad enters with Delilah and holding Katerina.

"Oh what are you doing here?" I stand up and make my way towards her. "I called her after you failed to do so." My dad said while looking at me trying to figure out if I was still mad at him.

The thing I love about my dad is he never wants to make us upset, he cried once when I wouldn't speak to him for weeks. I've never seen my dad cry other than when Katerina was born. Yes he can be a ruthless killer a cold man to everyone. But his family is the one thing he protects the most. Seeing him be anxious that I might be mad him makes me feel like shit.

I gave him a quick smile to which he sighs in relief. "I came to play with Katerina, she was very excited." Delilah spoke with a an excited tone.

"We'll I'll leave you two to play I'll be in here." She nods and her and Katerina run off together. "She'll make a very good mother." I groaned and looked at my mom.

"Mom we're still in highschool calm down." She shrugs her shoulders and we continue to plan out Christmas including my dad to reassure him I'm not angry with him.

AN: idk tbh. I've been having writers block so I'm so sorry if this chapter is bad. Thank you so much for the support. 😚❤️
