The Mafia In Love

Part 30

"If only I was there, I would have beat the living shit out of that Italian bastard. Who does he think he is?"

I let out an amused chuckle, watching my best friend had been venting her frustration and anger for Dante.

Let's say that last night, I came in a salty mood. I barely gave her a glance, rushing to my room to sleep my anger off which seemed to have worked well for me.

Reina didn't need disturb me for the night, sending my sour mood and gave me space.

I woke up with missed calls and text messages. I didnt need to check to know who that was. Dante had been ringing my phone all morning, sending a bunch of apology texts.

I didnt feel like answering him. What he did was still very fresh in my mind. I was still conflicted by his actions and the words that were said to me by the russian.

It was making me start to doubt Dante's character.

What if this isnt who he really is?

Reina noticed my silence and had given me enough time for myself, waiting for me to spill every detail to her- which I did, obviously.

Let's say, she wasnt pleased at all. Not even the slightest. It almost made me feel for Dante. Its one thing to have me angry at him, but Reina? Lord have mercy.

"Just when I thought he was different. I guess it's really true that all men are the same!" She continued ranting other frustration about the man.

"Reina, calm down. Screaming won't change what happened" I tried to advice her.

Key word. Tried.

"Scremaing wont, but I'm sure my hand on his face will do the trick". She exaggerated, holding out her hand.

I smiled at her, grateful for her concern for me.

Still, I didnt inform her about what had been on my mind. The conversation I had. It had me starting to doubt Dante, which I hated.

His behaviour did nothing to prove me wrong as well. He became jittery and uptight after I told him.

What are you hiding, Dante?

What exactly are you hiding from me that is so bad?

I hated this feeling. I hated doubting him. I even tried to ask him about it and he reacted.

I guess I'll have to find out myself.

"Willa!" Reina called, snappingbme out of my deep thoughts.

"What the hell are you thinking about? I asked if you want anything, I want to place an order"

"Burgers will be fine. Two please" I said, laying back on the couch. She gave me an enthusiastic 'thumbs up' before replying the person on the other line.

"Now that I finally remeber, are you going to continue leaving me in the dark about Alessandro?" I smirked at her, noticing her freezing on her spot.

"You know about Dante and I, yet I know nothing about you two".

I saw as her face was turning red, looking away to prevent me from seeing her flustered.

"Oh- ya'll really getting down huh?" I teased as she only became more flustered.

"Shut up" she said with a smile on her face. "Theres nothing really much to say. He makes me feel good, I make him feel good"

"So, a win is a win?" I asked her with a smug expression and she smirked at me.

"Exactly". I giggled at her response. Whatever makes her happy, I guess.

It wasnt long before we heard a knock on the door. Reina squealed like a child, ready to take her lunch. I dont blame her though, I was also hungry.

"Hey, Luciana" Reina smiled at her, welcoming her in. She walked in, her eyes meeting mine. I already knew what she was going to talk to me about. It wasnt quite hard to read.

"Hey, Willa" she sat down beside me, making herself comfortable. I waved her back tiredly, the hunger starting to hit me hard.

"Good. Now we got the gang together, I can continue laying out my frustration about your stupid childhood friend" Reina said, pointing at Luciana who looked amused beside me.

"I dont even blame you for getting angry. I was also shocked at his behaviour last night". She expressed with a frown on her face.

"He's been ringing my phone all morning". I confessed to them.

Reina grabbed my phone from the table, scrolling to see it with her own eyes.

"The audacity this man has, after what he said last night". She frowned as she saw the missed calls.

"Are going to hear him out?" Luciana asked me.

I'm I going to hear him out? To honest, I was still very much upset with him. His words still lingered fresh on my mind. I just needed to figure out what hes hiding, and I plan on giving him he benefit of doubt to tell me. Hopefully, he does.

"Yes. It's only fair I do since he's so keen on apologising. Besides, the phone calls are getting annoying".

"Yeah, no kidding". Reina scoffed as she dropped the phone back on the table.

The door bell rang, cutting our little talk short. Reina attended to it and I sighed in happiness. Finally, food was here.

I gave a burger to Luciana since I ordered for two which she happily took.

"So, there's this new club that just opened and we're going". Reina said, with food stuffed in her mouth.

I frowned at her. I disliked going to the club and she knew that.

"Im not going". I simply answered her, taking a bite of my burger. I didnt exactly hate clubbing.

Its just the thought of being know the dance floor with a bunch of sweaty strangers. Not exactly the best experience.

"I knew you'd say that. Exactly why I must force you to go". Reina replied me with a wide smile stretched on her face.

"Good luck with that". I sighed as I took another bite if my burger.

"Why dont you want to go, Willa?" Luciana asked curiously but Reina beat her to it.

"She believes its dirty to mingle with sweaty bodies, hates alcohol, and hates waking up with no memory of the night before". She said, clearly not in support of my choices.

Reina was a loud and proud party animal. She would drag anyone who is around her to join. Right now, I just wasnt feeling it.

"I think we should go, Willa. Besides, it's a good distraction from last night. Dont you think?". Luciana suggested which made me pause.

That does sound convincing. It was obvious I won't stop thinking about this for a while, which was clearly taking a toll on me.

I needed to free my mind a bit and as much as I hated clubs, I think it's the perfect distraction right now."

I let out a big sigh. "Fine".
