"I really enjoy spending time with you Vincent" she said with a beautiful smile showing her deep dimples, while eating her burger.
"I know, so you know what that means right?" she lifted a brow. "You should hang out with me more" I winked, while finishing my fries hoping to convince her to spend more time with me.
"Ok we'll hang out this Sunday or do you have special business to attend too-". I cut her off, "No, I'll see you this Sunday, now let's get you back to work before I keep you for the day."

About five minutes into driving her phone begins to ring and I couldn't help but wonder if it was the guy who defended her in the cafe.
"Shit, I need to hurry back to the cafe.. this private company just supposedly offered Jor and his family a shitload of money for our service to be at this special location." She told me.
"Is Jor the guy at the cafe?" "Yeah, why?" She asked back. "Just because... you guys seem close.. are you together?" While looking at her, she turned to me and put her phone down with a smirk probably acknowledging my jealousy.
"Yeah we are" she said smiling, and I couldn't help but to ball my fist, I noted in my mind that I would have to do a background check on him as soon as possible.
"Ok well lets get you back to him then" I say driving a slight bit faster since I was getting irritated by the thought of someone else having her.
"Who do you think would ask for such advice service from a cafe?" She says, I'm guessing hoping to break the silence that had engulfed the car since my last question. "I don't know... and what makes it weird is that it's a private company, ask your special friend how'd they get the deal"
She began to pick up her phone and type the question and just a few minutes later it rang. "He said that a man came in with a black suit came in with a briefcase offering two million dollars of money to cater for an event happening today around nine" she told me and then it hit.
The Mafia Gala was tonight, and every mafia would come together for a day of bidding and showing off their wealth. Which reminded me that I had to go with my father in order for him to see that I was ready to participate in their shitty bidding on cars and women to get profit and uplift their mafias, fucking disgusting.
Many of the women there were taken against their will by the French mafia, that's mainly what they used to bid and get money, whereas other Mafias like mine bid with cars, banks, and motels.
"Fuck, it's for our event tonight Lana" putting her phone down she froze and looked at me with concern. "Our event as.... your mafia or all of them?".
"All of them, it's a special gala that we hold for each mafia to make profit off of each other." I explained to her.
"I can already tell this will be hell, but I'll see you later I guess" she said with a smile as she got her bag getting ready to go back to work.

A couple hours after dropping Alana off, I went back home to get ready only to be greeted by Matteo and Adrian in my room. "Where the hell have you been we've been trying to call you all day" Matteo said as I begin to check my phone.
20 missed calls
"Why the fuck are you in my room and why the fuck did you call twenty times-" I asked them only to be cut off by Adrian. "This dickhead wants to go clubbing after the gala" he told me while in a current phone meeting for gun shipments.
"Come on Vincent it'll be fun and think about all the girls we could pull just like the old times." Matteo says while smiling because I remember the time that he was referring to.
"As much fun as a girl sounds right now, I have business to attend to." I told him, completely lying because all I could think of was one girl and that was Alana.
"Bullshit, you just don't just don't want to go because of that girl at the cafe huh? - wait, is that where you just came from? and why you asked us to come there?" He asked. "No" I lied again.
Knowing my friends, they would probably kill her and use the excuse of me being too preoccupied with her. "Sure, she better just be some pussy that you get and nothing more, I don't want my friends finding women and then being whipped" Matteo said, but I knew the true reason he was saying this.
"Matteo, I'm not going to get whipped unlike you-"
Knock knock
"Come in" I said and It was my mamma. "Are you busy right now Vin?" She asked sounding so sweet while looking around at my friends.
"No mamma, what's wrong? Did father do something again?" I asked worriedly because I know the type of man my father is deep down inside.
"No, I just wanted to help you get ready for the gala."
"It's ok Mrs. Martinez you can help us all get ready for the gala, since we don't like dressing for these things anyway." Matteo said, and Adrian nodded and gave her a faint smile, while still on the phone.
"Ok let's get started." She said, as she ran off happily to find us each a suit to wear.

After my mamma was finished with each of us and herself, we began to split up to ride to the location of the gala.
She had suited me up with an all black suit, with a silver Rolex and a silver chain to match, Matteo was suited in the same way but with a grey suit with no accessories, and Adrian was suited in navy blue with a gold Rolex.
"Thanks mamma for everything" I say, giving her a kiss on the check and helping her into the car since my ass of a father was too busy doing nothing to help her.
"You're welcome Vin" I smile and shut her door, getting ready to get into my Porsche, with Matteo and Adrian fighting over who would get the passenger seat.
"Shut the fuck up and let Adrian be the damn passenger princess, he called shotgun the minute mamma was finished getting us ready" I said to Matteo.
This was going to be a fucking interesting night.
