Secrets.
Keeping secrets makes you a liar. I don't care if you do it to protect someone or simply to avoid conflict. Keeping them makes you a liar. A traitor.
It's easy to spot when someone is not telling the truth,there's always a tell. Sweaty hands, they start to shake, avoiding eye contact, bouncing the legs, simple things people tend to ignore.
But not me, I pay attention, I was trained that way. Sometimes I do it without knowing, muscle memory perhaps.
Massimo has been weird ever since he arrived. So I think it's time to have a friendly conversation, that's why I offer him a drink.
"So what do I owe this pleasure?... you offering me a drink?" He questions, of course. He eyes me wearily. " you've been gone for almost a year, that's too long for someone who doesn't like the states" I go straight to it, I'd rather be with someone else right now.
He nods " si, I had to stay longer, business and shit, you know how it is. After all you are the reason I have to go now" I nod taking a sip of the amber liquid. "Mmm although, I've always wondered why you never like the city" my tone firm, " it can't be the business" I lean both hand on the counter of the bar. His brows furrowed in confusion. "Why so curios now?" His voice held a bit of uncertainty.
He straightened up on the stool,tensing. " oh you now, I was planing on taking il amore mio there, but of course she would want you to tag along, she considers you like a brother, plus I'm sure you'll be an excellent tour guide" I watch as his eyes flashed with shock but quickly masked it, clearing his throat " I don't know man, wouldn't that be like a couples trip?" He starts to tap his index finger on the side of the glass he's holding.
I take my glass and lift it to my lips but stopped "what happened?" I asked him, I start to hear the faint noise of his foot tapping on the wood.
He seams taken aback " what?" Shaking his head he says " nothing man... I mean do you really want me to third wheel?" His voice broke for a second but he composed himself.
" I'm not talking about the trip Massimo" I said, my tone clipped "quello che è successo" (What happened) He opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by my phone ringing.
I sight, looking at the caller ID "we'll talk later" I said and left the bar, heading for my office.
" cosa vuoi?" (What do you want) I said the moment I answer the call.
" really? Not a, oh Luciano it's so good to hear from you after so long!" He dragged the words. Barely a few seconds into the call and he's already annoyed me.
I hummed and opened the door to my office, I saw my Angel setting down a tray with lots of pastries, I smile, she hasn't notice me yet.
" anyways I had an interesting chat with your cousin before he left..." I stood there and watch as she carefully placed the tray down along with a lavender note.
When she turns around she gasps, one hand goes to hold onto the desk and the other one her heart. I smirk, always so sensitive.
" my love you scared me" her velvety voice blesses my ears. She comes up to me placing both hands on my chest " I'll be having a picnic with Magnolia in the garden, I brought you some of the things I baked" she chirps then goes to kiss me, her soft lips against mine, just were they belong.
I wrapped a hand around her waist as I deepen the kiss, hungrily biting her bottom lip, she whined pulling back, her eyes filled with adoration, I can't believe she loves me.
She frowns when she sees the phone "scusi" she whispers, placing another peck to my lips, she lets go and left my office.
I miss her already.
My moment of peace was disturb by Luciano. " was that your piccolo angelo?" He teases. I walk to my desk and saw the delicious treats my love has made, taking the note she left.
"You were saying" dismissing his previous question, I read the note.
~ having picnic in the garden. Hope you like the pastries! Love you 🤍 ~
I love it when she lives me little notes.
" before your cousin left I invited him over for a drink..." Luciano begins, I opened the small drawer of my desk, inside all the little notes she has left me over the years , I add the new one.
" so we got a little... well no, super drunk and he started whining about how he so hates this city." Shocker, Massimo is a whining bitch when serve just the right amount of alcohol.
I sit in my chair " are you sitting?" His questions takes me back. "Si " I confirm him, whatever he is to say must not be good. " Bene, I asked him why he hated the city so much... and he well..." Luciano pauses, his tone firm " he said he started to hate the city after a mission he had many years ago" Could be, despite growing up in this lifestyle some things just are too much, even for me.
" when I asked what happened but he only just said that, what happened that day will haunt him forever because every time he looks at her it reminds him of what he did" The fuck is he talking about? "Luciano" I warned him, just fucking say it.
His next words had my blood boiling.
" it was when he was supposed to meet with Morozov but instead they got ambushed, well Daniel Kalogeras was part of the group of men that attacked him..."
No.He fucking didn't.
"Said he shot the man then used the knife to cut his head off, when he finally realized what he's done, he stopped but it was too late "
I was fucking livid. All the pain my love has been through.
" he knew he fuck up , kalogeras was under protection of Morozov, he also said that the wife, Cyra, killed herself after she saw what happened to her husband..."
I couldn't hear anymore. I was fuming. I rushed out of my office.
Spotting Franco "dove si trova Massimo?" (Where is Massimo) Franco pointed towards the window "garden"
That fucker. How dare he.
The moment I stepped outside and saw him taking with my Angel. Mother fucker.
I saw red.
