Wicked Games

Traitor

Today is the day of the little get together I don't want any part of but will be going anyways. I spent most of of my afternoon in the garden, I planted a weeping golden willow tree today, if Giovanni gets his wish I'll be here while it matures.

By the time I'm finished I'm filthy, I take a scorching shower trying to scrub the dirt stains from my fingertips. I hurriedly wash and shave myself with thoughts of last nights shenanigans flash through my mind and a smile creeps upon my face and I don't even try to shake to it off.

I get out, dry off and brush my teeth before putting my oil on. I have no idea what I'm going to wear. I stand there with the towel wrapped around me as I go through the closet and pull out a beautiful red dress along with a white stole and red stiletto pumps. Before I dress myself I paint my nails red top match, I'm not sure why I'm putting this much effort into my looks but here I am.

After 2 hours I'm finally ready and I go out to the balcony for a smoke, my nerves are really bad so I take a few shots to hopefully calm them, I take them straight and cough gag between the two. I don't know what this shit is but it's nasty and strong.

I've grown to adore this view, looking down upon the city I miss, I hear the door open and footsteps approaching when I hear Gio speak in such a low tone I almost can't hear him.

' Oh amore mia, guardati '

I don't shutter at his compliment, I actually enjoy it. I almost regret taking the shots because they're already creeping up on me and my arms are heavy. I turn around and my eyes are doe ish, these lashes do their job.

' Ti piace? '

I watch his face light up as he hears me speak like this for the first time.. I watch as he bites his lip as he steps forward, closer to get a better look at me..

' More than you'll ever know little fox '

He growls as he cups my face and kisses me gently and I don't pull back, I embrace it, feeling my legs feel tingly, only then pulling back as my heart races.. This is bad. This is a code red.

' You ready to go love? '

I nod as he grabs my hand and leads us down to the car, Ben opens the door just as soon as he sees us coming. As soon as we get inside Gio puts the privacy window up.

' Your mom doesn't like me does she? '

He immediately gets a confused look on his face as I'm sure it's out of nowhere for him.

' Nahh.. Mamma.. She just worries too much. She doesn't know you well enough to not like you little fox.. What's it matter anyways? '

I shrug my shoulders and just leave it at that.. The last time we seen each other was not so great or at least that's how I felt.. Now I can only imagine how the rest of his family is going to be.. They can't be any worse than Jack's family.

The booze did very little to calm my nerves, now I'm just tipsy and nervous. The drive is relatively quick as we pull into a long drive similar to Gio's, it's gated and obviously lavish. There's quite a few cars parked which do nothing to help my nerves.

Ben parks and let's us out as I grab Giovanni's hand as he walks us to the door and walks right in.

The inside is even more beautiful, a very luxurious way of showing off their wealth.. There's people all over and there's low music throughout the house coming from the back yard and that's where he leads us. Greeting and being greeted by family and close friends. Everyone is kind to me, the wives look at me almost in awe and almost in envy,
The husband's look at me in lust. I shake hands and say very little.
