Forgotten Memories

Chapter 9

"Please,"

"No!"

"Please,"

"No!"

"Please,"

"No!"

"Why?" Zoe whined. I giggled at how childish she was acting. Alex narrowed his eyes at Zoe.

"Okay, alright. Even if I do agree, you would still have to ask Angelo." Alex said with a smirk on his face.

"Can you ask him?" Zoe asked.

"No,"

"Why not? Your good at communicating and he listens to what you have to say. He will understand. Natalia needs more clothes anyway. The clothes you got her are a size too big." Zoe said grinning at Alex.

"Fine. I'll ask him for you but I doubt he'll let Natalia go." Zoe squealed and ran up to Alex giving him a quick peck on the lips. Alex rolled his eyes and exit the kitchen. Zoe and I also turned to leave the kitchen but stopped when Luke entered.

"What was that about?" Luke leaned against the wall and folded his arms across his chest showing off his muscular body.

I have to admit, Luke is extremely attractive. If I didn't know him I would think he was a model. He looks like someone I'd see on a cover of a magazine. I would have never guessed that such a handsome face would be involved in the Mafia. Guess it's true when people say looks can be deceiving.

I looked at Zoe waiting for her to answer Luke but she was too busy staring down at the floor. She looks to be deep in thought.

"Zoe wants to go to the mall so we can go buy me some clothes." I decided to answer him when Zoe made no attempt to. Luke nodded his head.

"And Angelo is letting you go?" I laughed nervously.

"See... The thing is... we haven't exactly asked him... yet." I said while fidgeting with my fingers. Luke watched me before nodding his head slowly.

I don't expect Angelo to let me go to the mall. It was Zoe idea in the first place. We were going through her closet when she offered for us to go to the mall. I thought she was joking, but realized she wasn't when the smile on her face didn't falter. It took her about a half an hour to convince me to go. I wasn't even thinking about if Angelo would let me go or not. I just hate shopping.

"Natalia!" Zoe scold snapped me out of my thought. I followed her out of the kitchen and into her room. As soon as we entered Zoe started to pull clothes out of the closet and drawers.

"Zoe, what are you doing?" Zoe didn't answer and instead threw me a pair of skinny jeans and a shirt. I stared at her confused which seemed to annoy her because she ran her fingers threw her hair.

"Go change so we can be ready when Angelo say yes." She said slowly. I rolled my eyes at her and headed out the room but not before yelling ''if he say yes."

I changed into Zoe's clothes - that are a little too small for me. I threw my hair into a ponytail and grabbed my shoes. After I was dressed I headed back to Zoe's room but found it empty. I decided to check the kitchen but she wasn't there either.

I was about to head back to Zoe's room but stopped in when I heard muffled voices, and because of my curiosity I followed the sounds. The voices led me to the living room.
