Enternal love

6 || shots

CAMILAS POV:

I sit on the couch next to Gabriel, who's next to Arnold and Joey.

For some damn reason, Gabriel thought that alcohol would "lighten the mood" so now we're on a couch with a ton of shots sitting in front of us.

The silence was loud. And I wasn't one to break it. Luckily, Gabriel speaks. "Arnold and Joey are helping me hide you from the rest of the mafia."

I look down.

"They are scared that my f- .. the boss, is onto me. He has been investigating us, even me." He adds.

I nod slowly, processing everything.

"We eh, we want to help you." Joey says. I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"Help me? I don't even know you." I look at him, tightening my eyebrows.

He shakes his head. "We know." Is all he says. Is he English because he is talking all weird.

Gabriel looks at me, like his signaling me to stop. But I couldn't give 2 fucks. "If you wanted to help me, you'd get the mafia off my ass." I raise my voice.

I couldn't help but notice Joey looking a little offended. "Alright, it's time to go." Gabriel says standing up and grabbing me by the wrist.

The one thing I can admit was he was strong, strong enough so he could pull me to the bathroom.

He shuts the door and gets close to me, letting go of my wrist. "Camila, you need to stop, they're trying to help you!"

I give him a nasty look. "Stop? You told me you'd help me. Not get the whole mafia involved!" I get closer.

He puts his hands on my shoulders. "Well right now we don't have a choice. Their on to us and I need help." He points outside the door.

I sigh. "Why don't I just flee the country?"

He lets go of my shoulders and gives me a firm look. "Dumbass statement." He ensures.

"How's it dumb? It's called smart thinking?" I raise my voice. He walks past me getting closer to the door.

"You'd think they don't check multiple countries? They've got more than 1 guy in every country of the world right now Camila." He says proving a point while staring at the door.

I grab his shoulders, spinning him around. I look up at him. "Every single one? Over me? How's that even possible?" I tilt my head.

He holds my arms. "Don't underestimate the Mafia."

I roll my eyes. "And why exactly am I so important?"

He sighs. "You know their investigation." I try and say something, but he cuts me off. "Your very important, luce del sole." He hits my shoulder gently before grinning and opening the door. (Sunshine)

I clear my throat at what he just said. Luce del sole, huh? I've noticed him calling me that quite a bit. I don't know what it means, it probably just means asshole in Italian.

I take a breath, turning around to enter the living room.. shocked at my surprise, they were all taking shots.

What the fuck?

I never saw Gabriel as the type of person to drink that much. I mean when he goes out, he takes like a sip in the mafia. I always thought it was to look cool, but this, I didn't see it coming.

my eyes widen scanning the 3 guys taking shots. Either I'm high or this is a dream.

Arnold and Joey were going at it, they took just like 3 as I walked in. Gabriel though, only took 1.

He stands up and walks towards me, looking back at Arnold and Joey. "Crazy aren't they?" He grins looking back at me.

"Oh please, and you weren't just over there taking shots? Am I high or something?" I argue.

He chuckles and tucks my hair behind my air, holding my face. "No, luce del sol, but I am." He smashes his lips on mine before I could say anything.

Oh, my, god.

So so sorry it took so long. I was trying to heal my finger so it was easier to write, I'll try my best to get back to 1-2 updates a week!

Though... I did gift you guys with this chapter. Telling the truth, that "part" wasn't supposed to happen!! Mid writing I had such a good idea and I just had to do it.

Ahhh, stay tuned!
