Saving Aliyah (editing)

05

-Alastair Diaz-

I hated work with a burning passion, it was so annoying, especially the people I worked with.

I can only stand two people a few times, Selena and Leo, but I can barely stand Leo when he's flirting with me.

He's a fucking idiot.

But, when I took over the mafia Selena was already working there, and Leo started two years after I started it.

I was fifteen when I started working in the mafia, not by choice, I was pulled out of high school, I skipped two grades, making me in my junior year of high school when I was pulled out.

Knowing I had to take over at such a young age, was the biggest mistake my father made.

I wasn't ready for a business, for so many businesses and for more. I have a few restaurants here, and more in Italy.

I have about four clubs here and even more in Italy, what the fuck was he thinking.

He should've known I wasn't ready, when I was eighteen it went to shit, because I lost her, over what I did.

A knock at my office door brings me away from my thoughts "dinners done, what are you doing?" He asks

"Work."

He nods "I never get why the hell your mother says you can't handle it." He mumbled shutting the door.

Inhale the cigarette I was hiding from him, this is probably my fourth one today, I'm thankful Leo didn't make them too strong this time, otherwise everyone probably would've noticed.

I put the blunt out and go downstairs, I see Aliyah smiling and talking to my mother, and fuck, Aliyah is gorgeous.

You shouldn't be thinking that. I know.

After a while I notice Aliyah staring at me, a smirk makes its way on my lips, I walk up behind her "keep staring, sweetheart." I knew she liked that nickname, her face flushed the first time I called her it.

She looks at me and smiles "you wish." She says innocently, I'd love to fuck that attitude of hers out- stop.

I now notice how she's down here, while we're eating dinner. I see her plate is next to mine.

And I hope to God my father didn't force her down here.

My father won't stop glancing at Aliyah, it's annoying me, he's looking her up and down with each bite she takes.

If he doesn't stop I'll take her fork and slam it in his eyes. "Is something wrong?" She asks me

I shake my head, noticing my father staring at both her and I, I know the thought of me actually liking her makes him annoyed.

She's quiet right now, but I notice when she talks, she talks a lot, talks about anything she likes and pleases, I'm not complaining, it's adorable on how much she talks.

You're falling for her. No I'm not. Yeah you are. Shut up

Once I finish eating I put my plate away, going to my office to finish working

Unfortunately I'm followed by my dad "Alastair, you dont- you aren't falling for this girl, right?" He asks with humor in his voice.

"My love life doesn't concern you." I say walking to my desk, he follows and stands in front of it. "I'm concerned that if you do..she'll be a distraction, like what happened last time." He says
