The Mafia And Me

Chapter Seven

"What the hell are you all staring at!? Have you never seen a woman eat before??" I yell at the 3 men in my room, while trying to chew my mouth full of food.

"Ma, I don't understand how you are even still hungry." Rob laughs at me

"What do you mean? I was asleep for 3 days and waited another 2 hours for someone to feed me, of course I am still hungry" I state while shoving another square of cornbread into my mouth. Angleo came through with the food, I am sitting on my bed with a buffet of bbq around me and I am NOT sharing a bite.

"Maaaa, are you sure you don't want to just give me a bite, I'm hungry toooo" Rob whines at me. 

"No, not at all. Try to take a bite and see what happens" I tell him as I reach for the gun under my pillow.

"Okay okay, no need for that, I will just go get Greta to make me something in the kitchen." he says with his hands up as he backs out.

"Smart move Rob." Angelo laughs as he watches him leave.

"Sono davvero confuso su come stia ancora mangiando. Ha mangiato abbastanza cibo per nutrire 4 uomini adulti."(I really am confused how she is still eating. She has eaten enough food to feed 4 grown men.) Raoul loudly whispers to Angelo. I still haven't spilled the beans that I can understand them, so I just cock an eyebrow and pretend I have no idea what he just said.

"Lei è qualcosa di speciale, questo è certo."(She is something special that's for sure) Angelo replies smiling right at me. If I didn't know any better, I would say he has a crush. Maybe if he was looking at someone else, can't be me though. 

"Okay, I am full now" I smile at them as I finish off the last bite of green beans. I legit ate everything he bought. Still doesn't beat my record though. I can eat whatever I want and never gain any weight. I think it's a curse or something.

"That was pretty impressive, you should do some eating competitions" Raoul laughs as he starts clearing the empty food bins from the bed.

"I have actually won several when I still lived back home. No one ever expected me to be a challenge so they would take their time, by the time they noticed I was about to beat them it was too late." I smile back at him and he hangs his mouth open. Angleo then takes his finger and lifts Raoul's bottom jaw to close his mouth and laughs at him. 

"Very impressive indeed Scar. You are a rare gem in this world. Una gemma rara che vorrei tenere per me." (A rare gem I would like to keep for myself) He smiles as Raoul's jaw drops again, this time directed at Angelo. 

What the hell did he even mean by that, he wants to keep me for himself? I am not a trinket that can be kept. I am so confused. 

"Thank you, I like to think I am pretty special." I reply after a minute, not wanting him to catch on that I can understand everything he is saying. 

"Hmm, well. Anyways, we have a few things to take care of on the business side of things. The house will be surrounded by guards. You have everything you need within arm's length, and there will be a guard right outside the door, if you need help getting to the bathroom or anything just holler and he will assist you. Any questions?" he tells me with a serious face.

"Yeah, where exactly are you going and why can't Boo stay here instead of a random guard I haven't officially met yet?" I ask as Raoul smiles at me knowingly.

"If you would prefer Raoul to stay that is fine, I just thought he may want to get out of the house for a little bit. He's been couped up in here worried about you just as much as me." He pauses and looks from Raoul to me.
