Pure Bliss

7. This Is Goodbye💔

-The next day-

I woke up, stretched, then climbed out of bed. Diego walked out of the shower, he's always walking around naked, I rolled my eyes.
I turned towards Diego, he looked at me from across the room, I gulped.

"You like what you see?" Diego asked
I snapped back to reality, whilst looking directly at Diego, who was standing right in front of me. I felt the tension, not going to lie, his muscular body, was making me drool.
"Sorry, I was wondering if I could go to my dad's funeral. I'd come straight back, you could even pick me up, if you wanted" I cried
"I'll think about it, when Is it?" Diego asked
"Today at 12" I explained

"LION!" Diego shouted
I found Diego more and more attractive each day, especially, when he shouts, it kinda puts chills up my spine.
What am I thinking? Stop thinking about him! Get a grip Anastasia.
Lion knocked on the door, as well as, walking into the bedroom.
"Why do I always find you naked in a towel?" Lion asked
I couldn't help but laugh, it's true, Diego always walks around in a towel.

"Can you do me a favour?" Diego asked
"Does this involve you getting dressed?" Lion asked
"Partly. Could you take Maria to her dad's funeral please? Just keep 10ft away from the house" Diego asked
"Of course boss" Lion cried
Lion exited the room, I smiled at Diego, he's acting really nice lately, is he okay?
"Thank you! I appreciate it" I cried whilst kissing him on the cheek
I grabbed my towel, I decided to tease Diego, I couldn't help it.

We were attracted to each other like magnets, but we couldn't be together anyway, our family don't get along.
I took my nighty off, as well as, my thongs.
I grabbed my towel of the floor, I looked straight at Diego, "like what you see?" I winked.
Oh Diego, eat your heart out!
I hopped into the shower, I felt the nice hot water hitting my body, this was bliss.
Suddenly, Diego walked into the shower, it was big enough for the both of us.

Diego walked in front of me, looking at me dead in the eyes, what's going to happen?
Is he really into me? Or is he just playing around?
Diego grabbed my jaw line, with his big enormous hands, they could cover my whole face.
Diego started to kiss me, was I dreaming? I put Diego up against the shower wall, I was kissing him now.
So, we went from enemies, to kissing?
How does that work?

The kissing started to get wild, I didn't realise he was a good kisser, no wonder all the girls are around him.
He drives me insane, but yet, his dangerous side pulls me in.
Diego picked me up, still kissing me, as well as, kissing my neck.
I wanted him more than anything, but is this too soon? We shouldn't be doing this.
It feels so wrong, but so right.
"Diego!" Lion shouted
Shit!
The tension breaks between us, Diego hops out of the shower, I'm still trying to get over what just happened.

I start to wash myself, as well as, washing my hair as well as, shaving.
I was still shocked, I cannot let this happen again! How could I've been so stupid?
I hopped out of the shower, whilst Diego was nowhere to be seen, I dried my body.
Lion has placed some dresses onto the bed, he's nice, I like lion.
I wore a black thrills dress, with black high heels, as well as, a black jacket.
I start to straighten my hair, I start to apply make up, as well as, grabbing my bag and my phone.

I walk downstairs, I saw Diego, but I just pretend like nothing has happened.
Lion is waiting at the bottom of the stairs, he just smiles, he could probably feel the tension between me and Diego.
"Your chariot awaits, Miss.Russo"
I couldn't help but giggle, I liked Lion's sense of humour, he's been nice to me since I've come here.
I walked outside, opened the passenger side door, whilst hopping in.
Lion hops into the car, put his keys into the ignition, whilst pulling away from the mansion.

"So, tell me about Diego. Has he always been this way?" I asked
"He's been through a lot Miss. Russo" Lion cried
"Just call me Maria" I replied
"Whatever you two are doing, it's going to get very complicated, Diego isn't a relationship kinda guy. Just be careful Maria" Lion answered
"Thank you Lion, I appreciate your concern, but there is nothing going on" I said
"I wasn't born yesterday Maria, I've seen the way you both look at one another, Diego hasn't let any women in his suite either. You must be very special to him" Lion cried
"I'm trying not too Lion, it's very hard not too. I don't want to get hurt" I replied
"If you don't want to get hurt Maria, try to stay away, you're not even meant to be together. You're meant to be enemies" Lion responded
"I know" I mutter

I looked down at the floor, I cannot help the way I feel, I know we're meant to be enemies. But a little flirting isn't going to hurt is it?
But then it isn't flirting through is it? It's a look here and there, It's a kiss, which could eventually lead to sex.
It's very complicated, I'm trying my best to stay away from him, it's very hard when you're attracted to someone.

-10 minutes later-

I arrive at the funeral parlour, I thank Lion, then scurry out of the car.
I walk into the funeral parlour, I see Riccardo from a far, as well as, my darling mother.
This is going to be exciting🙄NOT!
I walk up to Riccardo, I tap him on the shoulder, he immediately turns round.
Riccardo hugs me tightly, I try to hold my tears in, for as long as I can.
"Sit next to me Maria" Riccardo smiles
I sit next to Riccardo, I stay silent, whilst the priest starts to talk.

My mum sits behind me, "you shouldn't be here" she whispers. I try to ignore it, why is she like this? She's never horrible to Riccardo, why is it always me?
Now, I can see, why the Spanish mafia don't like us.
My dad got a lovely send off, I'm glad he did, he got what he deserved.
I look at his tombstone, whilst placing flowers down, I blow a kiss to the sky for him.

"You shouldn't be here" mum cried
"Why are you always so mean to me? I've done nothing to you, yet you've burned me throughout my childhood, you've bullied me throughout my whole life. Why me? I haven't done nothing to you, I've always praised you. You never have done with me" I respond
"Because you always got what you want, Riccardo was always going to be the mafia leader, then you was born. We didn't want you in the first place, but we felt sorry for you" mum cried

"That's okay, Riccardo can be the leader. I don't want to be one, I don't want nothing to do with you now. Delete my phone number, don't ever contact me, do you hear?! I feel sorry for you mum more, because you're going to go through life being the miserable bitch that you're. Good riddance" I replied

I walked away from my mum, I felt happy because I stood up for myself. Riccardo hasn't stuck up for me once, but he won't. He's the favourite child, he always will be...
