Their Secret

Advances

I get back to my hotel to find a trail of rose petals leading to the tiny dining table. I find a tiny bell with a note that says "sit down and ring me." I take a seat and ring the tiny bell. A waiter comes in holding a silver cloche, puts it on the table and opens it to reveal a chargrilled porkchop with peppers and a note the says "I am sorry" on it. A second waiter comes in with a bottle of wine and pours it into my wine glass. I start eating the food and enjoying the red wine. After a while the waiter comes with an Ice cream sundae. Which instantly melts my heart. I would do anything for ice cream and he chose to get me ice cream.

"So you think this amount of ice cream is enough to win my heart over?" I ask Ashton who just sat in the opposite seat.

"I could easily get you more" he says smirking.

"Are you trying to bribe me into forgiving you Mr Parker?" I ask pretending to be shocked.

"Well it depends on how you see it" he says running his hand through his tousled hair. Making him look ten times hotter.

"I think I'll see it as a present, it won't raise the forgive o meter any higher" I say smiling.

"Fine by me, anything to make you smile Princess" he says leaning over and kissing my forehead. My phone rings taking us both out of our trance. I reluctantly go and answer my phone.

"Alex you won't believe who came to visit" Athena says excitedly.

"I don't know, Santa Claus?" I say indifferently.

"Haha very funny" she says sarcastically.

"Thanks for noticing the joke, why is mom visiting you?"

"How did you know mom is the one visiting me?" She asks surprised.

"Only three things make you that excited which is: Matthew, Nicholas and Mom" I say bored.

"She came over since dad went on a business trip that is going to be taking about 3 weeks. So come to dinner" she says enthusiastically.

"I am sorry, I already had dinner maybe we can do lunch tomorrow?" 

"Ok, just know you are missing out, Xavior, Emily and the twins are here" she says. For some reason i picture her smiling.

"Yay, have fun" I say hanging up.

Ashton leaves to go get me my tub of ice cream. I am left alone for a couple of minutes before Greyson comes to visit me.

"Are you suicidal?" I ask eyeing him.

"No, why?" He asks sitting down next to me.

"You know how Ashton feels about you visiting me."

"He'll  have to get used to it. He won't kill me. Family is everything in the mafia world" he says playfully.

"Are you also in the mafia?" I finally ask but deep down I know that he is.

"Uh, what do you mean by also?" He asks surprised.

"I mean I know that Ashton is a mobboss are you also one?" I ask seriously.

"Wait you know? I thought girlfriends aren't supposed to know that piece of information" he says distantly.

"I know, and I'm a girlfriend" I say shrugging my shoulders.

"Does dad know?" He asks seriously. The dreaded Richard Parker I hate that guy to be honest. I feel like he is the true definition of a heartless mafia boss.

"Yes, he does" I say shortly.

"Wait you are saying you met Richard Parker and he let you get away just like that?" He asks surprised.

"Well, I went through the said initiation" I say casually.

"Do you have the tattoo?"

"No" I say curtly. For some reason Greyson seems to relax after I tell him that. I honestly don't want a tattoo. I don't really have a problem with them, Ashton has this gigantic one on his left shoulder and I think it adds to his hotness, even without one he would still be to die for I mean my boyfriend is fucking sexy. The man looks like every inch of him was planned before being made. Back to the tattoo I just don't want one on me.

"Earth to Alexendra" Greyson says taking me out of my trance.

"So, are you in the mafia?" I ask snapping out of  my thoughts.

"Yes, I am but I am not that involved" he says indifferently.

"Why did you look relieved when I said I didn't get a tattoo?" I ask curiously.

"Oh, I just, it's. I really don't think its my place to tell. If Ashton doesn't want you having one then he probably has a good reason as to why he didn't force you to have one" he says shrugging his shoulders. His statement makes me more curious but I let it go. I guess I'll have to talk to Ashton about it.
