Daughters of the Don (Completed)

Twenty Nine : Adele New scenary

                  After being knocked unconscious by one of the Cubans; it was by the grace of God that Cheeno came to my safety.

       We collected Jef and set off for the safest place; Miami Florida. Cheeno had family out there and so did I.

      After I hung up with my mother; Cheeno called on a few favors for an overnight flight to Florida.

     Without a thought we were on a private jet in the midst of the night. The rain had cleared and we were leaving the battle grounds of Cuba behind.

       Jef was guarded by three of cheenoS men; so he wouldn't draw any attention and make a run for it.

    Once on the flight Cheeno went to clean up and I asked to be alone with Jef.

" are you hungry?" I asked nicely sitting down next to him with a plate of pasta.

His face was filthy and the look in his eyes weren't very inviting.

"Look, you can't starve. If you hate me; fine I don't blame you but this situation is far more deeper than you... I just don't want you dying on my watch."

    He looked over to me finally making eye contact before grunting with this grin...

" you know you're a dead woman walking." Jef said, staring me down.

"I could kill you now; and they'd never know where your body is or if you're dead or alive! Now I'm trying to be cordial with you; but you're so fuckin dedicated to this Mafia shit that you're willing to risk your life for this loyalty!"

"Keep your food, Adele. If you wanna kill me, then I dare you to now, but you see I know you not made for this life..,, it's only a matter of time!"

       I was appalled by his words, all I could do was stare at him with hate.

I quickly got up and walked away sending the men back at his side.

Cheeno was finishing cleaning up when I went to join him.

He lifted me up onto him and we spent the next thirty minutes making love and rejoicing in the calm of the moment.

"You know I really believe in you?" Said Cheeno in an unexpectedly after sharing that moment.

"And I want you to; I love what's happening between us... I mean.... I don't know what's happening, but I'm becoming very attached to you; you really mean a lot to me."

Cheeno kissed my forehead, smirking.

" my feelings are becoming stronger and stronger for you... So you know what that means?"

I looked up to him; responding with my expression of why?

"If you ever betray me or try to leave me..... I'll kill you."

My heartbeat increased as he said those words. But I knew that in other words he was telling me he had feelings for me.

I'd never been in a serious relationship before, so I was new to these feelings.

"I'll give you the world; just give me your loyalty." Cheeno added, taking my chin in his hands for a kiss.

For the next 3 hours we rested, with a sense of calm that we were leaving Cuba behind; with hopes of a new beginning.

I needed to get my mother to higher grounding because I knew the Mafia would go after her; so as soon as I made it to Miami I'd be flying her out.
••••••••••••••••••••••

"My second home." Cheeno said happily for the first time ever; with a smile as we exited the jet.

The sun was shining, the air was crisp, and the beginning of our new lives had just started.

We were chauffeured back to a condo in south Miami, secluded from any worries.

Met by a gorgeous woman with Cuban Moca skin. She was known in the drug world.

One of the biggest queen pins in Florida let alone the south.

It was none other than Zale.

She gave Cheeno one of the biggest hugs embracing him.

"Your father back up to his old ways? I see you had one hell of a shoot out back in Cuba.... My eldest brother was killed." Her voice was calm considering the fact of what she had just said.

"I knew I could only turn to you aunt Zale; I should've done this long ago."

" iiiii.... I knew you'd come around sooner or later; your father isn't to be trusted, never was, never could be... Who's the lady?" She asked, directing all eyes on me.

"That's the love of my life; Adele." Cheeno answered as I waved stepping forward and extending my hand.

"Nice to meet you."

She reached out shaking my hand with a smile.

"The pleasure is mines; I know your beautiful under all of those rags of clothing and layers of dirt; why don't you go clean up everything in the room." Zale said giving me the hospitality welcoming.

"Why thank you, but I must make sure my guest is taken care of."

"Guest?" She repeated.

Cheeno edged to his men to bring Jef forward where he was bagged and cuffed.

"This is our hostage; our marvelous get away from Cubans and the black Mafia." He explained.

"Why isn't he dead?" Zale asked bluntly staring him down.

"The business isn't finished yet, he will be soon!"

" put him in the pit; get him out of here." She demanded.

As I separated to go clean up ; I couldn't help but worry about my mothers well being.
