Untamed (A mafia story)

Chapter 51

Cora

"Dimitri I swear to God if I fall down, I'm going to kill you" I gritted out grabbing onto his shoulder

"You're not going to fall down принцесса, just keep your eyes on me, don't look down" he says calmly resting his hands on my waist, making me look up at him

"That's better, now you're going to try and move" he says looking at me and I start shaking my head

"No"

"Yes"

"No, I'm not interested anymore, get me off these ridiculous things, I'm going home" I snap, even though I said I was going home, I couldn't move from where I stood.

"How are you going to learn if you're chickening out like this, it's very easy, see" he says letting me go and giving me a little display, I almost lose my balance but he's quick to catch me.

I glare at him hard
"I almost fell down just now and I wasn't even moving" I grit out
"If you wanna kill me, there are other ways to kill me, please not like this" I mutter out looking back down at my shoes shaking my head.

Then I hear it, it's a bit of a chuckle, not too loud but I hear it, and I immediately look up to find him looking at me in amusement with a full laugh coming out of his mouth.

I'm shocked, it's the most, soothing and mesmerising sight, I'd ever seen in my entire life.
I never knew Dimitri had dimples, or that his teeth were so perfectly arranged and spaced at the same time.

His eyes, for the first time since I met him, were now very bright green, no longer the dark sage green, more like emerald in sunlight

If I knew this was what I had to do to get him to show this much positive emotion, I'd have done it a long time

The sight stirs something in me, my chest, my stomach, my brain and my heart

How did we get here??
Well let me tell you

Earlier that day

"Your plan sucks" I mutter out relaxing on the chair while he just gives me a perplexed look

"What"? He asks and I just look back at him

"Your plan" I said pointing to the paper sprawled out on the table "it sucks, we can't use it, Enzo would catch us even before we start" I tell him more loudly

"So what's your own plan принцесса? I don't see you bringing up any plans since we started" he retorts making me snort at him

"I have, you just didn't want it" I mutter out folding my arms in front of me

"I didn't want it, because it's a dangerous plan, a plan where you have to tail Enzo, and you think he won't notice? What if he catches you"? He asks

"Then I'll have a reason for tailing him, you don't have a reason for tailing him, I'm his wife's sister, you're his sworn enemy, from where I'm sitting, your plan is the dangerous one, not mine" I explain to him feeling proud of myself

He breathes out running his hands through his face
"It doesn't matter, we're not using your plan" he says with finality

"And we're not using yours either" I retort and he raises a brow at me

"And why's that принцесса"?

"Because we're working together, I'm not working for you so I have a say and I say your plan is dangerous too, so we're not using it" I humph out and he just shakes his head
