Love me or leave me/ mafia

Chapter 9

The next couple of days went by smoothly and uneventful. I would try to get information on what we were doing or where we were going for our date, but Enzo was dead set on keeping everything a secret. I've moved some of my old items in the guess room, its not like I had a lot anyway. It's still weird here since I'm not used to being a nice house. Mia and Lexi have visited me a couple times. Enzo said I can invite them anytime I want.

I know Enzo has questions for me and is confused on why I didn't freak out about him being a Mafia Boss. I knew he was either apart of a gang or something illegal. He gave that away with shooting someone infant of me and not working about the police. Also his guards around his house aren't so well hidden. 

It's also the fact if my father. I don't want to get much into it but just know he's not good. I'm not gonna lie, I'm scared that Enzo may be just like him but I have faith. He didn't and hasn't killed me so I have faith. I was inputted by my thoughts when I see Enzo knock on the door. 

"Hey bella, get up we're going out."

"Isn't our date tomorrow?"

"Well it is but I've been in your room and I can't help but notice that you don't own a lot." He says lookin at my closet. He wasn't lying I own enough outfits for maybe two weeks. Even though I don't own much I don't want him spending hard earned money on me. I'd be fine I've been living this long without stuff. 

"I'm ok with what I have, but thank you for the offer."

"Mia caro, let me look after you. You never accept my help."

"Tectonically I do, I'm still staying here aren't I?" 

"This docent count, please just accept my offer." 

"No"

"I'm simply not taking that for an answer."

"Okay, but I have a condition."

"Sure what is it?" 

"For every 3 things I get you have to get yourself something too." I could see him thinking it over. If he doesn't agree to my terms then I'm not going. This was his money and even though he has lots of it I could never use someone in such a way. It's just not right, I like that I work hard for everything that I have now. 

Enzo agreed to my terms so we made our way to the mall. As always Enzo would open my door for me and usher me in. We weren't even half way down the road before I feel asleep.  

-----------------------------------------------

We pulled up to the mall and headed in. The fist store we went to had very nice items and I decided to actually look around. I saw a nice black shirt and some jeans that I liked, I went to check the price but Enzo quickly took the items and told me not to worry about that. Jewelry was next I saw a pretty bracelet that caught my attention. It was a bangle with black flowers up there. I picked it up and headed to the check out. "Those were three items which mean you need to get something." I said looking up at him. "This is pointless I came here to shop for you not me. Plus I don't need anything, you on the other hand do."

I hate when people do that, try to degrade me just because I have little. I'm proud of how far I've come in life because I made it here on my. own. I never had the love or support from neither parents, and when my grandparents left it was evident I was just a waste of space. Once I got away I vowed I'd be proud of myself and everything I do. So for Enzo to discredit me and belittle my accomplishments made me snap. "Can I have the keys?" 

"Why would you need the keys bella, we've just gotten here?" He asked looking worried. Maybe he thought I was going to take his car and drive away. I wouldn't do that though. Like I said I value myself and others. "I'm going to the car, once you get whatever it is you need I'll be ready to go." I didn't give him time to respond I took his keys from out of his hands and headed to the car. I won't break down here, I'm too strong and I've come to far.

I was stood there in shock. I always seem to do or say something wrong. But what exactly did I do? Then I remembered my comment about her having little. I didn't mean for it to come off a cocky. Thinking back now it was actually offensive. She's obviously worked really hard for the things that she does have and I belittled that.

I made my way back to the car to try and think of how I would approach this. When I got there I saw that she was asleep on the passengers side, so I decided against waking her up. 

When we arrived to the house Kiona started to stir awake. Once she realized were we were she got out the car before I could say anything to her. I must have really messed up this time because she won't even look at me. I saw her head toward her room so I decided to collect myself and wait a few to confront her. 

I started to head up to her room and once I got to the door I saw that it was locked. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. "Bella, will you let me in please?" 

"Why"

"I want to apologize and make sure you're ok." Something that only she can make me do, apologizing that is. "Theres no need to, I'm fine so if you don't mind leaving."

"So if you're so fine then why won't you let me in?" I heard her take in a deep breath and start to walk towards the door. She opened the door and I could immediately tell that she had been crying. "Oh, mia caro. I'm so sorry for my comment on your lifestyle. It wasn't right and I feel bad.

"Enzo I told you it was fine, I was just making a big deal out of nothing." She said sniffling. "No what you have work so hard for is something that you should be proud of. I'm sorry that I didn't see or take that into consideration earlier. 

"It's fine all is forgiving. And I'm sorry for taking you away from getting your items. I want you to get a refund for the three items I purchased." This right here is what I am drown too, Kiona is just so selfless and always thinking of others. With her I don't have to worry about her using me for money or being with me because of the power that I hold. 

"Bella, you only picked up three items and you can take the clothes as an apology gift for being rude. 

"Fine."

"And our date is still on for tomorrow I asked her." I asked her worried she had changed her mine. "Yes our date is still on." She said with a giggle. Oh I can't wait to see her laughing and smiling tomorrow. Hopefully she'll like what I have planed I want her the best time ever.
