The Love of a Mobster

Roses with a Hidden Thorn

Evander woke up still feeling what had happened the night before, but he figured he would get better with a shower. During his shower, he thought about how he hasn't contacted Sienna at all, a part of him really wanted to call her and ask her out, but then there was the other side that didn't think bringing in Sienna to a world of crime would be a good idea. After he got dressed, he figured he would take the bold step and texted Sienna and ask her out. He went downstairs to prepare his daily espresso where his mother was already there with Gabrielle discussing baby names. Gabrielle's mom died when she was only a little girl, so Catarina was more than willing to go over basic information on babies with her. "Good Morning ladies, I see you my mom's already got the baby fever," Gabrielle simply giggled and said, "I actually really enjoy talking to Catarina, she's already given me the 411 on what I needed help with." Catarina sipped her tea, when her eyebrows rose and put down her cup and said, "What about Raphael for a boy? Vincenzo would love that! Raphael was the name of his adored uncle who died a couple years ago," Gabrielle smiled and took a minute to think about it, "I love it!" As Evander was pouring his espresso in his favorite mug his phone went off, it was Sienna. "Hey Evan, it's nice to hear from you, I was starting to think you forgot about me, I'm free tonight?" her text read. Evander smiled and texted her back, "How could I forget a pretty girl like you? Tonight sounds great! I'll pick you up at 7" All of the insecuirites that Evander was feeling went away and a wave of excitement came over him, he was going to see her tonight and that's all that matters.

After Gabrielle finished her talk with Catarina, she told her she felt like going to her to rest, but in reality she needed time to let her self disgust go away. Gabrielle hated seeing Catarina excited for the baby on the way because, deep down Gabrielle knew there was a slight chance the baby wasn't a De Luca. Her mind then shifted to that awful girls' night filled with Vodka and a man she knew she was never supposed to be involved with in the first place, who know is possible father for her unborn child. Every time Vince would make plans for the baby and wonder who it will look like made her feel awful about herself because it's probably not his baby. Gabrielle felt like she was stuck in between a rock and a hard place, she would either have the baby and Vincenzo would find out it wasn't his baby and leave her or the other guy would find out he has a kid with her and leave her on her own anyway. Deep down Gabrielle knew she was better off on Vince De Luca's side, even if he would unknowingly care for a baby that wasn't his, as she was making herself miserable, she heard her bedroom door open and saw Vince as he walked towards her. "Hey beautiful," he said as he pecked her on the lips, he then put his hand on her slowly growing tummy, "How are you feeling today? Do you need anything? Vitamins? Any craving?" As he practically was at her feet, all she wanted to do was breakdown at her own stupidity. She wished there was a way that she could clear the doubt she felt and would see that the baby belonged to Vince and they would have their happily ever after, but happily ever afters' only belong in fairytales, something that Vincenzo and Gabrielle's relationship might not experience.

Sienna was in Barbara's office discussing the new trend for the upcoming summer, Sienna was honestly excited for tonight, she finally was going to go on a date with a guy that isn't a complete ass and most importantly wasn't Caleb Sharp. As they were going over the bright summer dresses, Barbara noticed Sienna had a certain glow that she didn't have before, "Sienna, you're either pregnant or something or someone is on your mind," she said with a smirk on her face. Even though Sienna has worked for Barbara for three years, Barbara has gotten to know Sienna very well. "Well I'm not pregnant but I am thinking about someone," Barbara then smiled and put her designs and looked at Sienna. "He's Evander De Luca," Barbara then looked in awe, "As in New York's playboy bachelor Evander De Luca," Barbara said. Sienna then felt like she was the only person in the whole tri state area that didn't know who he was, She did live in Staten Island before but it wasn't a thousand miles away to hear something about the De Lucas'. "Yes and apparently everyone knows the De Lucas' except for me," Sienna said, Barbara simply looked at her and said, "I'm happy for you truly, you look really happy." Sienna then smiled and started thinking about what she was going to wear for the date she had tonight. As Barbara and Sienna continued to discuss, she noticed a rather tall figured girl walking towards them, clearly to talk, "Excuse me are you Barbara Reynolds?" she asked, Barbara simply looked at her with the same puzzled face that Sienna had, this girl had never been here before. "Yes I am, how may I help you?" she seemed a little shy, "I'm Holly Whitfield, your company hired me for the temp job that was available," Barbara then smiled and said, "I didn't know we had a temp job available, but great to have you on board." After Barbara gave Holly her to do list, she left, leaving Sienna and Holly alone. "I didn't get your name," Holly said, "I'm Sienna Mancini, I'm Barbara's assistant," Holly then eyed her up and down, "Very nice to meet you, I couldn't help but over hear you're going on a date with Evan de Luca tonight." Sienna then felt confused, how long was she actually standing there, after all it was a long conversation she ahd with Barbara. "Yes I am," Holly then smiled, "You're one of the lucky ones," she said. Something about Holly just wasn't right, here she is this girl that took a temp job and clearly was listening to her conversation?
