Someone tapped me making me open my eyes to see I fell asleep. I shot out of Jazmyns bed and looked for my pants.
"Why did you let me fall asleep Jazmyn? What time is it?" I groaned clearly annoyed and she rushed for her phone.
"Jazmyn, what is taking you so goddamn long to tell me the time." I spat and walked over towards her and grabbed her phone.
6:49pm.
"Cazzo!" I shouted and grabbed my pants and put them on with a slight struggle. "Where's my ring?" I asked her and she shrugged, "I don't remember where you put it." She said clearly panicked like I am.
I looked around and began tossing her sheets hoping my ring would be there but it wasn't making me curse out.
"I need my ring Jazmyn." I spat, "help me." I began ransacking her room. "You need to calm down alright. Your ring is here-"
"Calm down? I lost my fucking ring and you're telling me to calm down." I snapped at her and she looked away.
"Just help me look-"
"No." She spat and I stopped to face her. "Jazmyn I'm not in the mood-"
"Neither am I! You're screaming at me as if that's going to make your ring appear. It's not my fault you were careless with it in the first place." She spat and I tilted my head.
"Get your ass up and look dammit." I moved the dresser causing it to scrape the floors. "That's enough Ivano! You're ruining my floors- just stop!" She pushed me away from her drawers and pushed it back.
"Just stop." She sat me on the bed and stood infront of me but I gently pushed her away and grabbed my belongings.
She sat on the bed picking at her nails as I checked my phone to see messages from Celia and Isaak.
"Ivano-"
I closed her bedroom door and rushed down the stairs.

I curled myself up into a ball as I scrolled through Instagram. I mean I guess I'm unlovable or likeable.
Ivano flipped and complete ransacked my room which I had to fix back up. Marrying and talking too these mafia men aren't for the weak.
Then a message came through.
Ivan: hey Jaz. I apologize for acting like a dick. You didn't do anything... I was the one who lost my ring. I would also like to apologize for coming at you as if you're not a person aswell. Hope you can forgive me.
Jaz: Hi Ivano, I accept your apology but I think we should just slow down. Maybe let's take some space away from each other.
I didn't want to type it but I did because, well, it was needed. The way Ivano spoke to me and- and kind of brushed me off him as he got mad- I don't know, I just don't need that stacked onto my pile that's already slightly dragging me down.
Maceo is already enough.
He doesn't eat my cooking, he doesn't touch me, which only leaves me to think... am I contagious to him now? What did I do? What can I do for him to love on me?
To get the bare minimum?
Until then only a girl can truly dream.
Ivan: we should talk about it. In person.
Me: why? I felt like I was very clear in my message Ivano. You want to meet in person to butter me up and touch me hoping I'll forgive you?
Ivan: no Jaz. I want to express how I truly feel so you can feel and see the guilt I'm carrying after today.
I hearted his message and shut off my phone once Maceo came inside our bedroom and got into bed.
I faced him, "why won't you touch me Maceo? Have I done something wrong?" I asked him making me face him for an answer.
"You haven't done anything wrong-"
"You won't touch me, kiss me, hold me, eat my food. I-I." I found myself sobbing and for the first time he held me.
He gently moved me closer to his chest making me sob in his chest as he shushed me and whispered sweet nothings in my ear.
"Why Maceo." I sobbed and pulled away finally sitting up on my shins. "Look at me Maceo-"
"My ex wife," he sighed before continuing, "When she passed away I promised myself I would never remarry but then I met you." He whispered and I looked away.
"But I gained feelings for you Jaz. Hard feelings and I'm currently struggling to show affection. I-I I don't want to mess up." He looked me in my eyes as he gently took my chin.
"That doesn't explain why you won't eat my food." I whispered and pulled my chin out his hold just as my phone rung.
"I'm vegan Jaz."
"And why am I just now knowing? What else are you hiding?" I asked him as my phone rung again making me go to grab it but he took my phone and squinted my eyes.
"Ivan? Why are you calling Jaz." I gulped as i stared at him. "Oh." He replied before handing me the phone.
"Hello? Did you tell him?" I frowned and Ivano gave a hum as a yes. "How come you didn't tell me you were planning a birthday party for me?" Maceo smirked and I shyly looked down.
"It was a secret until you decided to grab my phone silly." I smiled as he stared at me. "Give me a kiss." He whispered and I pecked his lips knowing they don't compare to ivanos.
He deeped the kiss making me moan. I quickly pulled away, "I have to take this." I quickly said and stepped our side to my balcony.
I closed the door and sat down. "Did he kiss you?" Ivano asked, "Yes- what do you want Ivano?" I groaned as I stared at the beautiful view.
"I'm sorry baby. Forgive me." He pleaded and I rolled my eyes, "you're just going to do it again." I replied, "Meet up with me. Please?" He asked and I hummed.
"I'm feeling under the weather. I'll stay in, bye Ivano-"
