I caress Autumn's blonde hair gently, as she lightly snores on my lap.

After what felt like hours of interrogation and fake tears we were let go by the police.

Throughout the whole thing Autumn seemed shaken up and dazed, she finally calmed down and fell asleep.

I think alcohol played a big part in her calming down.

I move my gaze to Rebecca who's sitting cross from me, her bride to be tiara must have fallen off when we were rushed out of the club.

Her mascara and makeup ruined with tears just like mine.

Rebecca and I being assassins are obviously used to shooting, death, blood and the list goes on.

But we couldn't have the police suspecting anything. So we did the best thing we could cry hysterically.

I guess, fake it till you make it.

And we did, well enough for the police to let us go.

I sigh and lean my head back, closing my eyes. The diner we were currently at was dead. There wasn't anyone here except for us and the old lady sweeping the floor.

Who I'm assuming is the owner.

The diner is a 1990s inspired diner and the only thing open this late at night, that wasn't a club.

The bell rings loudly as the doors of the diner burst open. I open my eyes and lift my head to see Enzo rush inside. As soon as his eyes connects with Rebecca's it takes him about four steps to reach her.

Enzo lifts Rebecca out of her seat and hugs her. "You okay? Princepessa, you're not hurt are you?" He asks pulling away and checking to see if she's alright.

"I'm fine." Rebecca replies before hugging Enzo again.

I look at my best friend and her future husband is awe, I hope I find that kind of love, one day.

Rebecca and Enzo where strangers till she found him half dead on the sidewalk. She brought him home with her only for Enzo to call her an idiot.

Who knew in that moment they will fall in love in the future.

An injured mafia man and an idiot assassin who took him in. Match made in heaven a Disney tale even.

The bells on the door rings again, I look to see who has arrived only for my stomach to drop and my heart to skip a beat. It always happens when he's there.

No matter how much I tell myself I hate him, I'll always have that part of me that desires him.

As much as I hate to admit it he will always have a place in my heart.

I hate him I always will.

But the more I see him, especially now since Rebecca is dating Enzo I can't seem to escape him.
