Don Corleone [Michael Corleone] DISCONTINUED

Chapter Fourteen

Michael opened the cab door for Fiona to come out of the taxi, once she came out, he took her hand in his and lead her inside a small but cosy restaurant.

They sat down quietly, facing each other. The waiter placed the menu in front of them and Fiona whispered a small polite 'thank you' to the blonde young man.

They both sat in silence, a question lingered in Fiona's mind that she wanted to ask Michael since they were in the cab together. Michael, however, read her thoughts.

"Is there something on your mind?" He asked.

"Yeah...well, um...are you ready f-for what you're gonna do soon?"

"Are you doubting me?" Michael said teasingly, later calling the waiter over to order their lunch.

"No. I'm not. I know you're gonna do good." She smiled at him before drinking her water.

"What makes you so sure?" Michael leaned in towards her more.

"With all honesty Michael, I know you'll do good because the other day...that look in your eyes...your words...your body language..the determination in your voice...I've seen it before with somebody else, so I know. I know that you're gonna be fine." As Fiona spoke with all honesty, she still didn't mention that that 'somebody else' was her.

Instead of answering Fiona right away, Michael took the opportunity to evaluate her, his eyes roamed every inch of her that he could see, her eyes, nose, lips, collar bones and hair until a look of desire was embedded in his eyes.

"But you know after that dinner, I have to leave. We don't know when I'm coming back." Michael said in disappointment.

"I know Michael, I know..."

After lunch, Michael dropped Fiona home- he kissed her cheek goodbye and wrapped an arm around her waist to hug her. She wanted to question why he has become so touchy lately, but every time he touches her, her mind forgets to question.

As she walked up the stairs to her apartment, Roberto was on his way down.

"Lil' Fay, how was lunch with Mikey, huh?" Her brother wiggled his eyebrows playfully as he started to make kissy noises.

"Oh shut up!" She pushed him gently. "Where you going?" She questioned him immediately.

"You know- here and there, out and about." Roberto replied with a smirk.

"No I don't know here and there and out and about Roberto." Fiona said crossing her arms as a smirk grew on her face.

"I'll be out for the day, I'll be back late though. So don't wait up for me alright?" Her brother wrapped his arm around her neck, tugging gently and playfully.

"Don't do some hanky panky business with Michael while I'm out you hear?" Roberto chuckled loudly as his sister groaned loudly and dismissed what he said.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Once I'm back, I'll take you out for some food alright? I love you Fiona, take care!" He said while rushing off out the building.

"I'll be waiting." Fiona mainly whispered to herself.

It was already past 4:00 am and Fiona was worried sick about Roberto.

He still didn't show up.

She called Sonny and Sonny was at home. She called Fredo and he was at home too. She ringed Tom and Tom was also back at home.

Non of them had seen Roberto the whole day.

She had a weird feeling that there was something wrong, it made her feel sick to her stomach.

The only person she didn't call yet was Michael. But she decided to wait another hour, maybe Roberto was going to show up.

Michael, was sleepless.

He kept tossing and turning in his bed and all he wanted to do was check up on Fiona to see if she was doing okay.

Then, he thought of the family, his father. His thoughts were running wild in his head but that soon ended as his phone rang.

He stalked off of bed and approached the roaring telephone, as he picked up, Fiona's voice filled his head.

"Hello? Michael? Michael are you there?" Her voice was shakey and his smile instantly fell.

"Fiona? Fay what is wrong?"

"M-Michael I don't know, Roberto hasn't been home yet and no one has seen him y-yet. By any chance have you seen Robby? Please say yes Mikey!"

"Fay I haven't." Michael was all sorts of confused.

"Oh no." Fiona whispered to herself.

"Listen Fay, wait at your place I'm gonna come get you, do you understand? You wait for me." Michael said, panic rising.

"Yeah, I'll wait Michael.."

"Fay?"

"Yeah?"

"It's all gonna be alright."
