The Mafia Chose Me?! (Completed) ✅

Chapter 9

I couldn't sleep. 

I tried a bunch of times, I couldn't do it.  Even with Leonardo keeping me close I couldn't fall asleep.  The night brought unknown to me it was scary. 

I had woken Leonardo multiple times by panicking.  I would wake up screaming or having a trouble catching my breath.  But every time I woke him up he would instantly comfort me.  I cried into his shoulder as he would say comforting things to me, calming me down. 

This time I hadn't dared tried to lay back down.  "Cara mia (My dear), you need sleep."  Leonardo said to me rubbing my back.  "I know I have to sleep, but is just so scary."  I sobbed quietly.  Leonardo brought me into a hug.  "Don't worry cara mia(My dear), I'll always be here to save you."  He said bringing his hands up to my face cupping it lightly. 

"Can i kiss you?"  Leonardo asked me looking at my lips.  My mouth opened and closed not knowing what to say about that. "Uh," I stuttered, what would you say if your hot soon to be husband asked you that question.

"It's fi-" I cut Leonardo off, "yes," I said rather quickly after finally coming to a decision. "Davvero (Really)?" Leonardo asked, I nodded my head yes. "On the mouth please." I said softly wanting more than soft forehead kisses, though those are nice too.

Leonardo nodded his head as if to say that he was going to kiss me. I closed my eyes and waited. I felt a soft warm pair of lips on mine. Leonardo's hands trailed up my body to my face, cupping it softly. I put my arms on Leonardo's shoulders and tangled my fingers into his hair.

We kissed for what seemed like minutes, we eventually had to pull apart to breath.  My face was hot as I panted trying to gather my breath.  Leonardo looked at me with curiosity.  "Are you ok, Cara mia (my dear)?"  He asked.  When ever he spoke to me in Italian or said anything in Italian my brain practically melts, I don't know how to respond nor do I know what to say back.  His voice is so hot. 

"What?"  I said my brain coming back from its melted point.  "I asked if you where ok?"  He said again.  "Yeah, out of breath."  I laughed while giving Leonardo a smile.  "Me too."  He be said letting out a sigh.  I was so caught up in the moment.  "Your hot," I blurted out, "And your cute."  Leonardo said softly gripping my head so I was looking down at him. 

His eyes were piercing my sole in a loving way.  I realized what I had said and what he said, I freaked out.  "How could you say something like that?"  I asked somewhat shouting at him.  "It's easy to tell the truth, and the truth is that your cute.  Ti amo(I love you)."  Leonardo said, I started to mumble to myself about why ti amo (I love you) could mean.  Leonardo just chuckled as I kept mumbling on and on. 

"You love me?!"  I shouted, while in shock I almost fell off of the bed, Leonardo caught me leaning over me.  Our faces were close, our lips where even closer. 

I couldn't help it, I kissed him again, it was a quick kiss though and there was no tongue.  "Thanks," I said smiling once again at him. "Pregò (You are welcome)."  He said happily pulling me up into the bed.  "Wait," I said holding my hands up, "you really love me?"  I asked looking at his face, those eyes found mine.  "Yes, I do."  Leonardo answered me. 

Leonardo laid down on the bed letting a sigh pass his lips.  I was pulled down, a yelp escaped my mouth when I was pulled down.  "Get some sleep."  Leonardo said wrapping an arm around me.  "I'll try," I said softly my eyes closing on their own.  "Sleep, I'll protect you."  Leonardo said before I allowed sleep to take over. 

My eyes no snapped open as I shot up in bed screaming.  Leonardo woke up from my screaming.  "Hey it's ok."  I could barely hear him over my continuous screams.  I felt his touch on my back calming me down.  He kept repeating the same thing over and over.  He kept telling me that I was going to be ok and that he was right there to protect me if anything happened.
