The Mafia's Daughter

Officially Vendias

MABEL'S POV

    The party was going to happen tomorrow, and a lot of people kept coming and going. This is the first time I've seen the house with the constant flow of a lot of people. I placed the story I was engrossed in on the bed and made my way to the window. I saw some people bringing a lot of flowers in, and I remembered Laura. After I said bye to her and went to the party I had not seen her again. I knew exactly where I could find her. I tore my eyes from the flowers and scanned the area, then i saw him.
Ash.
He was in a suit talking to the securities in the house. He looked so hot in his suit, and I could not tear my eyes from him. This guy was so selfish when he was being created. I did not know how long i was staring, but I snapped out when he winked at me. I slouched in my comfortable chair, feeling my red face in my palm. Then it hit me, I was supposed to be connecting with my mother instead of going on about a guy who kissed and flirt without coming forth.
I wore one of my slides and made my way to the garden on top of the house, and just as i knew Laura was on her knees, cutting thorns from a wild red rose.

Are you busy? I asked her, and she jumped a little. 

Hey, bella[beautiful] She gestured for me to sit by her on a metal bench. 

How has your stay been, sweetie? She asked, concerned. I loved the way she always looked concerned about me, and I felt so bad and selfish for not making anything grow between us.
It has been amazing. I can not express how glad I am that you have all expected me to this family. I said genuinely. She simply smiled.

I'm glad you're enjoying your stay here, sweetie. I hope one day you will know we're all one family like how it is supposed to be. She said, looking in my eyes. I felt loved and calm.
I know, mum. I appreciate you. I said with a smile. Her eyes started tearing up. This is the first time I've called her mum, and I know she has been waiting so long for this.

I pulled her in for a hug. I don't know why I also started crying, but this felt so peaceful. Okay, I should not bother you with all my tears. Love, I nodded.
Let me leave you to what you were doing, mum. I want to go take care of something.  I said as I got up.
