"Matteo what the hell are you doing in here" I grip my towel ever tighter to my body. "No need to hide amore mio it is nothing I haven't seen before." He smirks and locks the door after walking closer and closer to me. "How did you even get in here...
"I can't fucking believe I let you talk me into this shit! I knew this was a bad idea the moment it came out of your mouth" I yelled at my idiot of a best friend Zahra. "When I thought of the idea do you really think I told myself " hey I would LOVE to be arrested today, as a matter of fact, let me go tell Ayanna and we can do it together." she sarcastically says while clapping her hands together and batting her lashes at me.
"Well, you sure as hell could've fooled me because judging by the way you were starting trouble by dancing with both of those guys causing them to fight over you sure as hell seemed like an "I would love to be arrested today" type of moment along with all that other bullshit you just said." I pointedly looked at her after I mocked her sarcastic remark.
"Whatever bitch, it doesn't matter anyway because we will be out of her in two shakes of a rat's ass, which is fatter than yours by the way. You and I both know that your daddy dearest would never let his "sweet innocent" Princesa sit in jail longer than 30 mins." She says while doing air quotations and emphasis on the sweet and innocent part. This is because she and I both know that that is far from the truth. "Still I knew I should've listened to my ass when it told me not to listen to you." I narrowed my eyes at her.
"Really?! You rather listen to your ass than your fine, sexy, hot, amazing, badass best friend who you have known for damn near your whole life?!" Zahra looks at me in disbelief as if I just killed her dog. "Well since my ass and I have known you for damn near my whole life, we know when we should and should not listen to you and tonight was one of those should not moments. And that's saying something because IT'S LITERALLY MY ASS!"
"How can an ass-" Zahra was about to say something when one of the officers who arrested us for underage drinking and possession of a firearm without a license walked up to the cell door unlocking it. "Let's go, ladies, you made bail," the officer said, annoyed and looked like her head was about to explode. It is either because we were walking out without any consequences or because of the shit we were saying to her while she was putting the cuffs on us. Zahra and I both walked past her with smirks on our faces because, during the ride to the station, the officer was arguing with us about how we would not make bail and that this would be the arrest of her entire ten-year career.
"Welp it looks like it's back to square one for you," I say to the officer as we walk past her causing Zahra to chuckle. "You know it's pretty sad that in a whole decade of working here this would have been your big break. Now we are just slipping through your fingers." I say it in a worrisome tone which turns into a satisfied smirk after I see her jaw clench even tighter. " You will be back. I am sure this will not be the first nor last time I see you two" the officer says through gritted teeth. "Hmmm you might be right, but maybe we should let you in on a little secret." I glance over at Zahra, the smirk never leaving her face. "The next time you see us officer.." I quickly look down at her name tag "Rodriguez, we will just make sure we don't get caught." I whisper in a hushed tone so only the three of us can hear. Afterward, I stepped back and walked out with Zahra two paces behind me, never once looking back at the officer's face in which we know is in complete shock. Most likely from the way I just confessed that we will be back doing the same thing just not getting caught for it.
Upon walking out of the police station I see my older brother Luca leaning against his car smoking a cigarette. "Of all the terrible and dangerous things that you two do in your free time, the thing that you get arrested for is underage drinking and possession of a firearm." He says letting out smoke with a chuckle while shaking his head in disbelief. "Not murder, not robbing a bank, not even drug possession. But underage drinking."
"I know right? I was thinking that exact thing earlier." Zahra says laughing. "Well, we better get back to the house because Father and I were in the middle of a meeting when he got the call. He sent me to come and get you two and now I have to hurry back" Luca says walking to the driver's side of the car and getting in.
"In a meeting? With whom?" I looked over at my brother confused "Francesco Ferrari the Italians leader" he said casually speeding down the street. "Wait don't we not like the Italians" Zahra says confused from the back seat "Yeah, we don't but I guess Father and Ferrari are trying to make peace." He states while pulling up to the gate. "Why the fuck would they be trying to make peace after all of these years?" I raise my voice a little.
"I don't know, that is something I would be figuring out right about now if I didn't have to go and pick you two up." "All I know is that Ferrari and his son should be coming by later this week to finalize the paper and agreement and from there on out we will have peace." He says turning off the car and getting out. "Francesco Ferrari has a son?" I turn my head to look at a confused Zahra. "I didn't think it was true, I have only heard the story of him actually having a son." "Some people say that because he didn't have a son his nephew would be next in line, but on the other hand, I have also heard stories of his son being one of the most dangerous and merciless people in the Mafia world," I say as I slide out of the car.
"Damn, well judging by that description I hope he is fine '' Zahra says and I shake my head in a chuckle. "Oh come on, you can't tell me you aren't hoping that he is fine too," She says looking at me pointedly. "Whatever Zahra," I say as I turn around and start walking into the house." "I knew it" Zahra yells from behind me and all I do is chuckle.
