The Mafia King and Queen (Book 1)

Chapter 28

Time went by fast. My lips had carried the words of chapters, speaking the endless words of the book. Santiago seemed to enjoy it. I had never seen him in such a vulnerable state. Even though his face was kept motionless, his body seemed relaxed and dignified. 

Though, I could just be reading into it. he played with my hair as I read the final line of the chapter thirty. My eyes had eventually started to get tired. Santiago had taken the book from my lap, he placed a bookmark between the two pages and then placed the book down on the table. I snuggled my head in his chest and sight

"I love it here" I admit taking in the beauty of the room

"this is my mothers" he says, referring toward the library.

"does she still come here?" I ask him

He looks down at me and nods his head

"my father built it for her" he says

"that's sweet of him" I say, completely forgetting who his father is

He hums in response

"You know i always look at them and think if i could get a fraction of what they have i would be the luckiest man" he says blankly

I looked up at him giving him my utmost attention

"Have you ever found it?" I asked a little nervous at my boldness

"over the years i gave up but i think ive found it now" he said and looked at me

Our eyes bore into each others, it was like a sudden trance puling us in. suddenly, our faces got close. Inch by inch our lips make their way to each other, it was like a string was attached and it was tugging us closer. Soon enough we were now only inches apart. Our breaths were mingling into one and I found my eyes on his lips.

I moved my gaze from his lips to his eyes, only to see him already fixed on mine. Slowly, I moved my hand on cup his cheeks, my face had gotten impossibly closer and now our lips were brushing over each other. I had this certain desire within e, I wanted, no, needed his lips against mine. I closed my eyes and he dud the same, as I tilted my head and made my way tp push my lips against his

"sir."

A gruff voice broke us out of our trance. I stop my action midway, I opened my eyes to see Santiago angrily shut his as he clenched his jaw. I removed myself from him and smile slightly to myself

"what is it?" Santiago voice booms anger

"you've got a visitor" the guy announced.

Santiago signals him to leave and gets up.

"ive got some business to handle, you wanna stay or come" he asks me

"ill come" I answer shrugging my shoulders

He nods and takes my hand in his. Gripping onto his we walked out of the room and head straight for a room that was placed just across the library. Once we made it in, a tall man in a blue suit was in there already. He turns around noticing our presence.

"STORM" he acknowledged

"peters" Santiago says

Santiago leads us to the long table that was placed in the middle of the room. He motioned for me to sit down on the chair, nodding I took the chair and closed my legs. Looking at the man I had business face on

Santiago sat down on the chair nearest to me and the man sat opposite Santiago. As the man was settling down, he placed his hand on top of mine I glance over and give him a sly smile then serious again as I faced the man. He was focused on the paper in front of him.
