The Mafia of Love

Chapter 2 - You ain't about that life

'So Otis, what do you say?' I said as I finished explaining to him that I wanted to come back to the mafia, leaving the cop part aside of course.

'Hum.. I'm still kinda confused, why would you want to come back now?' He answered wiht a suspicious look, I started getting nervous, what if he doens't believe me? What was i gonna tell the chief and the captain?

'I told you, i'm not making enough money, I'm tired of working night and day!'

'And you think this is easy?'

'I know it ain't, but at least its easier than having to serve tables all day' I said, I told him I worked at a restaraunt in Manhattan.

'Yeah most likely... You know Shawn I liked you, a lot. But then you left I'm not sure you're up to what si going on now'

'Well give em something to do, i'll show you'

'Very well, deliver this package. Without getting caught.' He handed me a package of what seemed and smelled like weed.

'To where?'

'Manhattan' He said with a smile as my mouth dropped

'Manhattan? I can never get this to Manhattan! There is too much security there.'

'See I knew, you ain't about that life. You can go now.'

'NO! I'll... I'll do it.' I sighed

'Alright, now get going, I need the money, like now' 

'Alright' I said as I left and kept the package on my jacket. Somehow I knew where to ge this delivered and it would be a problem a big one. Not witht he cop thing tho, becuase I was never involved in those kinda things, my job was mostly to protect houses and families around the neighborhood.

I drove for a few minutes, I had to cross the Brooklyn bridge to get where I wanted. When I got in front of the club there were security guards in front of the door.

'What are you doing here?' One of them said as I got closer

'I'm here to deliver a package'

'To who?'

'To whatever ordered it'

'Uh, alright, come on in, but if you get into trouble, you'll die.'  wow ok

'Ok' I came in through the door and apparently a chimneys too. There was a lot of smoke in the air and as I saw, some hookers too. I walked until I thought I saw the head of the whole thing. I ddin't knew him, but with all the experience I knew that the head of everything was the one that had more hookers and drinks around him. As soon as he saw me, with the package, he send the hookers away and stared

'Sir, I got this for you from Otis'

'Great, great! Here is the money, now get out' I thought that was rude, but the money was all I needed to prove to Otis I coudl still do this. I was about to leave when he called me up again 'Hey, wait a minute... I've never seen you before!' he said with suspicion, he made my heart beat fast, what if I was caught?

'I'm kinda new, but I'm Otis's old pal'

'Uh, alright. tell Otis to send me a message when he gets the money'

'I will' I said pratically leaving. When I was out the door, I waved goodbye to the bodyguards, saying that I was still alive. But then I heard one of them scream.

'IT'S HER! GET HER!' He said pointing at a teenager

'What's going on?' I asked, trying to understand what a teenager could possibly had done, but then I realized she was actually on the run. 

'It's her! The girl everone is looking for, YOU RUN AFTER HER NOW!' He screamed pointing at me. I don't know why but I just did what he told me, right now she was a block away from me, she was really fast. I ran after her, getting closer and closer, she was fats, but not as fast as me that passed the police training and keep myself everyday in gym. 

When we arrived at the Times Square I realized how far we would gone, I stopped to breath a little bit but still looking around, I had lost her in the middle of the crowd. I looked around, but I coudln't find her, she was very good. I was about to come back when I suddenly popped into who? Her. She fell down ont eh floor and stared at me, she seemed tired. I grabbed her by the arm and lifted her from the floor, we were still staring.

I've never seen somone like this. She's far the most beautiful girl i've ever seen, her eyes were brown, chocolate brown, they caught me, I coudln't stop looking at them. Her skin was soft, at least on the arm that I was touching, I started going down with my eyes, her perfect features, those big lips of hers, all I wanted to do was kiss them, I've never felt this way before. It was then that she spoke, a soft, smooth voice

 'Please don't take me there' She begged me

'To where?'

'To whatever you're taking me, you were chasing me'

'I don't know why I was, why are you on the run?'

'It's a long story, just please let me go!'

'Will you be fine?' She looked at me like no one else cared for her in the world. She opened her mouth to say something, but the words didn't coem out, I guess she realized she didn't know the answer to my question. Somebody was screaming away, but I was too busy looking at her, they were getting closer and she started crying to let her go, but if I did, it woudl look bad for me, but I have no idea why she was so scared so I did let her go.

'HEY MAN, why did you do that for?! That girl was important!' Said Otis as he got closer 'Why would you let her go?'

'Because she was scared! Why are you guys chasing her anyway?'

'Because she knows too much! We have to find her before she gets to the police! And now you ruined everything!'

'What do you mean she knows too much?'

'She was too close to the boss! She knows all the operations!'

'Damn...'

'Yeah Shawn congratulations! I knew you ain't about that life anymore, you are too good!'

'What was her name?' I said ignoring him, I was away, away stilld eep in her eyes even tho she wasn't around anymore.

'Beyoncé'
