Dancing with the Don

Gianna Ricca

my friend and i went to the other side of the bar so nico's group and i were across from each other. i got to meet eliza's boyfriend and he's a nice boy, shorter but she said he's good to her which is always nice to hear. we ordered a few drinks and sat at the bar and talked about lots of things. she told me about a new client that came in and asked what items we had for sale so she told her, then the lady was complaining the whole rest of the time about our "cheap material".

i kind of forgot that nicholas was here, but when i unconsciously looked across the bar he was staring at me. i looked him up and down and he clenched his jaw and turned to keep talking to his men while i sipped on my drink. eliza said she needed to wash up in the bathroom so i sat patiently on my phone and waited for her to come out.

i ordered a water from her boyfriend and sipped on it until she got back. when she walked behind nico and towards me i looked to his direction and he was typing on his phone. he looked up and looked at my phone and back at his telling me to look at my phone.

NICHOLAS
—————————

nicholas: you look fucking good gianna

me: i know

nicholas: why're you here, hm?

me: i was bored

nicholas: if i knew you were gonna show up like that i would've let you stay

me: well now you get to watch other guys look at me when i could've been all warm and comfy in your bed

nicholas: *typing*

i put my phone down and he looked up at me and i saw him chuckle as he said something to his men. all but one of his guys left and went out to their cars and the one that stayed looked kind of like him, so i assumed they're brothers. eliza pointed over to them, "they look like a ball of hot danger giana" i slapped her shoulder "you have a boyfriend!" she chuckled and pointed her head over to him rubbed up on some girl behind the bar. "it's fine. i've wanted to break up with him but he won't have it, so i don't care" i nodded "the guy on the left is Nicholas Columbo, he's one of my clients, and i'm assuming the other is his brother or something"

we were walking over to the stairs to get ready to leave when i heard a deep italian accent call my name "Gia, come here" i turned around and it was no other than nico, i smirked and walked over with eliza "i need to steal you for a chat, my brother will wait with you" he said to us, i rolled my eyes. he brought me over to a set of stairs leading up and we walked up them

"always making me work hm?" i smiled to myself and walked i front of him up the stairs. "who's the girl with you" i did a soft glare at him as i kept walking "my brother wants to know" ah. "i knew it. well you already know her name so tell your brother to find out himself" he chuckled and pulled me back to walk next to him "walk beside me, not in front of me."

"why?" he placed his hand on my waist "because your dress barely covers your ass gianna, and i'll fucking rip it off if you walk in front of me again" so that's what i did. i walked infront of him and let my hips sway, not hiding them "you're playing with fire tesoro"

i smiled "i need to use the restroom, ill be right back." he clenched his jaw and nodded "go ahead" i swayed into the bathroom and did my buisness then walked out and washed my hands. i walked out and nico wasn't there but was over at the bar talking to a girl so i walked over to the bar, ordered a drink and walked down the stairs and i knew he saw me and was following me, but he's gonna have to work for what he wants.

i walked down to eliza and nico wasn't behind me anymore but was standing with his brother. "have a nice night boys" i grabbed her arm and we walked out to get in the car. i told her i was tired and ready to go home and she agreed so we got on our way.

i was driving and we were going down the highway listening to music when i heard two small pops and the car jerked around, so i steered over to the side of the road when i realized my tired popped, not one but two of them. i found it odd so we got out and went to look at the tires and didn't see anything but they were flat.

it's 1:30 in the morning and the only person i know who is awake is fucking nicholas so i called him.

"my tires popped and you're the only one i know whose awake so come help me."

"mhm, did you check them for any holes"

"yes you dumbass we checked for holes and there are none"

"watch your mouth or i won't come help"

"nicholas it's 1:30 in the morning. it's dark and it's cold and you have two small girls sitting on the side of a highway waiting for someone to come help them, so come help me or i'll find someone else"

"i'll be there in 5, get back in the car and lock your doors. i don't want you sitting out there"

"fine"
——————

"the men we were just with are going to come help us out" i said to eliza and she looked a little confused "what liza?" she looked around "the guy i was talking to said when he left that he'd 'see me later tonight' so is it just coincidence that we're stuck on the side of the road waiting for someone to come help us?" i furrowed my eyebrows and before i could say anything a black car pulls up behind ours.

nico came around to my door and knocked on the window so i opened the door and i was shivering. "go get in my car" he said to me and eliza and his brother was on eliza's side. i got out and went to walk to the car with eliza when he stopped me "pull your goddamn dress down" i walked away from him and into the car with eliza and we started laughing "i knew it was them!" we said and were laughing when they got into the car "what's so funny" his brother said "we know it was you guys who shot at our tires" we could see them smirking in the mirrors "our girls left a little too early" me and eliza looked at each other and our eyes widened a bit

"who's the chick you were with nico" he chuckled "jealous?" i glared at him "so what's your name? we haven't met" i said to his brother "alexi columbo, ma'am." i nodded "im gianna" nico's jaw clenched "she's Ms. Ricca to you" he said to his brother and i rolled my eyes.

we pulled up at their house and eliza and i were just looking out the window. i had been here briefly but eliza hasn't. nico opened the door for me and i walked right by him. he snatched my arm and made me walk beside him before he whispered to me "my brother is showing eliza where his room is, we'll go upstairs and find you something to sleep in" i scoffed "can't we sleep in our own beds?" he chuckled "sure, walk home gia" i rolled my eyes "whatever"

we walked up to his room and i went into his closet and grabbed myself a shirt before he could and i ran into the bathroom to change. once i did i came out and he had a pair of sweatpants on "you can't just take whatever clothes you want." i walked over to him "you're making me stay here so i'll sleep in whatever clothes i want to nico"

"so, your brother likes eliza?" he sat down on the chair beside me "he likes her, doesn't mean he can have her" i looked over to him "why?" "i told him i'll have you before he has her."
