Mrs. And Mr. Mafia

Eleven

I lay in bed, pretend sleeping when the door opened.
"Fuck!"
He roared and slammed his fist against the wall.

I flinched and he sat down. He combed his fingers through his hair then rested his head in his hands.

I crawled out of bed and wrapped my short silky housecoat around me. I walked over and curled up on the couch beside him.

He stayed silent and I got behind him and rested on his back. I kissed his jawline lightly and he sat up.

He turned around and stared at me. I stared back and he sighed then lifted me up bridal style.

He carried me over to the bed and rested me on it. He tucked me in before turning off the lights and spreading the curtains around the bed.

He crawled in beside me and pulled me into his chest. I yawned and fell asleep in his arms.

•*•*•*•*•

I woke up and began humming a song, picking up everything off the ground. I could hear him moving and kept humming.

I turned around and nearly screamed when I was face to face with him.
"You gotta stop scaring me."
I said and I realized he was angry. I could feel the vibrations coming off of him.

I hummed again and walked away, it was better to leave him to his anger alone. But he grabbed my upper arm and pulled me back.

He glared at me and I stared at him.
"Don't ever sing or hum that fucking song again."
He hissed and I pulled my arm away for him.

I brushed past him and opened the bedroom door. I tried to march out but he grabbed my arm again.
"Let go!"
I yelled smacking him.

"You're not wearing anything!"
He hissed and I pulled my arm back.
"Yes I am you fucking idiot!"
I shot back and he grabbed my waist, lifting me off the ground.

"Let go of me!"
I screamed when Cooper came down the hallway.
"Everything all right here?"
He asked and I wiggled out of Nikolai's grip.

"No."
I hissed and marched away.
"Emma!"
Nikolai shouted. I left to the main living room and curled up on the couch.

Adrien came and sat next to me.
"Are you ok?"
"I was just humming a fucking song and he flipped."
I whispered and she rubbed my back.

"He's just a really emotional person. You just gotta help him. Plus, that song was probably, her song."
She replied and I stared at her. Who's song?

He walked in and I got up. I tried to walk past him but he grabbed my arm.
"Adrien, out."
He ordered and she scurried out.

I yanked my arm away but he blocked the entrance. He cupped my face and I glared at him.

I pushed his hand away and crossed my arms.
"You have to stop grabbing me like that."
I said and he nodded. We stared at each other and he slowly approached me.

"No."
I said and walked away.
"What-"
"You can't waltz around hurting me then trying to kiss me."
I said and he sighed.

"You're right. I shouldn't. But I do."
"Thats not an apology."
I replied and he sighed.
"I'm sorry I get angry at you over little things then try to act like nothing happened."
He apologized and I nodded.

"Apology accepted."
I replied and he gave me a small smile.
"Are we good now?"
He asked and I shrugged.

"Why did you flip out about the song?"
I asked and he sighed.
"I just really want that conversation to wait a bit, ok?"
He replied and I nodded, giving him a small smile.

He pecked my cheek and I stared at him.
"Nikolai! Emma's parents are here!"
Cooper called, turning the corner and I smiled, wrapping my housecoat around myself.

Nikolai grabbed my hand and we walked to the front door. The door was opened and my parents walked in.

"Hi mom and dad."
I muttered as my parents hugged me and I smiled.
"Mr. And Mrs. Russo."
Nikolai muttered, shaking my fathers hand, and my mother gave him a small hug.

"You two sleep in awhile, don't you?"
My mom asked, taking a step back and looking us over.
I glanced at Nikolai then back at myself and shrugged.
"A bit."
I replied and she smiled.

"How is everything so far? Any fights? Heated moments?"
She began to ask and my eyes widened.

I didn't really feel like telling her everything. Certain things I would leave out.

"Um, not really. Everythings been pretty basic around here."
I replied and Nikolai slightly nodded.
"How about we go get dressed, then we'll catch up."
He announced and I nodded, taking his hand.

Nikolai excused us and guided me up to the room quickly and we both threw on some proper clothes.

"If you want to tell your parents about the last couple of weeks, I understand-"
"I don't want to. It's embarrasing."
I replied a bit harshly, cutting him off.

He nodded his head, his lips pulled into a thin line and I grabbed his hand, giving him a small smile.

He returned it with a half smile and we left the room. We walked down the stairs where a maid informed us that my parents were sitting in the living room.

We walked in and my parents smiled at us.

"How was the drive?"
Nikolai asked my parents as we sat down on the couch, next to them.
"It was fine. The roads were good."
My father replied and I nodded.

"Well lets get to it."
My dad announced and stood, so did Nikolai.
"Whats, going on?"
I asked glancing up at Nikolai.

"Nikolai and I have some business to tend to. We'll be back for lunch."
My father replied and he turned to leave.

Nikolai kissed the top of my head then led my father to his office.

I turned to my mother who smiled weakly at me.
"I have some news for you."
She said and I nodded, mlving closer to her. She grabbed my hands and sighed.

"We wanted to tell you ourselves so we didn't tell Nikolai about it, and I'm so sorry we didn't."
She began, her eyes watering up.
"Mama, what happened?"
I asked her as she gripped my hands.

"Your brother, he was killed."
