The Mafia Prince's Best Friend?

Chapther Nine: Speak

I woke in my apartment. The window was open and it was still dark outside. Toby was asleep next to me. I wore the same clothes from last night. The memories of last night came back to me. I went to my bathroom. I was in desperate need of a shower. I was in the shower for what felt like forever. I wanted Asher's blood off of me. I wanted answers to my questions and I determined to receive them. I got out the shower.

I found Toby sitting on my bed with his shirt unbuttoned, showing his tattoos filled chest. I remember when he got his first tattoo it was freshman year he took me with him he got his grandmother name on his chest Lily. He was a splitting image of his father but he had his mother eyes.

"I'm sorry about what happened last night Oli." I look at me as if her was studying me. I dropped my towel on the ground leaving myself naked in front of him. Completely naked. He watched as the towel fell then brought his eyes back to my eyes. The room was quiet but he didn't look away from my eyes I did move a muscle I feared if I did we would lose this moment.

"Ring, ring" the moment was destroyed by he's phone ringing the word mother flashed on the screen. He cleared his throat and grabbed his phone. He look at the screen and look relived. Why did he look relived, was my naked body something he need relive from? " I have to take this." He got up and left. I walked to my dresser and began to change. I put on boy jeans, a shirt and socks. I left my room to find Toby lying down on my couch. I walked  to the kitchen he said nothing just watched me I put water to boil.

"You want tea?" I don't know why I asked of course he wants tea, he is Toby, he's the reason I even drink tea. I used to be a coffee only kinda girl until Toby kept nagging me to stop and to switch to tea. He got up the couch to  and got the mugs for the tea. "We have to talk." He poured the tea.

"I know." He sat on top of my kitchen counter I leaned on the counter. 

"What happened?" I brought the mug to my lips and I drunk some tea.

"Ashley wanted power, power only me and two other have. She was a twin and I am only child which means i run two territories. Being the USA and England." I just listened. " Ashley didn't want to share her territory with her brother Asher. It's funny," he laughed " I'm here wishing I had a sibling so I wouldn't have to control the territory by myself and Ashley is trying to get keep it for herself." He began to drink he's tea. He look like his father, He had his curls. He always made my heart flutter.

"Tell me more."

"We are savages and don't know why i involved you Olivia. We kill,sale drugs ,we use people, we destroy lives." He looked down " I wanted you far away from this and my second life. I wanted you to be safe. This life is not for you." I began to get angry. " you can't stomach-"

"How dare you!" I put the mug down who does he think he is. "How dare you say that!"

"Olivia I'm right don't be upset with me, look at your stomach you are forever banned and last night you pasted out, Olivia!"

"Well excuse me for not being used to a died body, we all can't be murders!" I slapped my mouth for saying what I just said.

"I knew you wouldn't understand and you never will." Toby got up and left my house. He left me alone. I laid down and I cried myself to sleep.
