Heat: A Mafia Doll Retelling

Chapter 13: Push

A/N: So sorry for all the grammar mistakes! It's really late so I'll try to go over all of that later!

Oh and Happy Thanksgiving everyone who celebrates it! It's currently 1:38 A.M. so yeah! Hope everyone enjoys their day whether or not you celebrate it!

"No, Franco-" Brooklynn tried to protest sleepily as she felt his arms surrounding her body.

She didn't know what time but she was surprised that he had lasted this long without sneaking into her bed. She had spent Sunday with him and had only gone to class Monday morning before Franco picked her up again and brought her back to his apartment. Last night the exact same thing had happened. Brooklynn went to bed in the guest room by herself and when she woke up, Franco was holding her tightly against his body while he slept.

Brooklynn sighed as his face snuggled into her neck and his arms wrapped tightly around her. He gave her no space whatsoever to move. Despite the fact that she was annoyed that she had told him not to do this again, it was almost endearing the way cuddled into her. She sighed and lifted her hand to softly stroke his hair. His breathing pattern told her he was already asleep despite having just snuck in.

Unlike with Stefan, Brooklynn and Franco managed to sleep together without moving at all. Stefan and Brooklynn always woke up on opposite sides of the bed even though Stefan's bed was quite small.

Brooklynn closed her eyes and fell asleep once more thinking about the Family party on Friday night. Stefan was going to pledge in front of the most important captains and she was going to have to be there to witness it. The only thing Brooklynn was happy about was the fact that Franco was going to be there. And even if he didn't support her relationship with Stefan, he supported her.

Her phone's alarm began ringing much too loudly for her liking.

She grudgingly opened her eyes, and barely managed to grab her phone with Franco's tight grip on her. It was seven in the morning already.

Her class was at nine but by the time she got ready it would already be late.

Brooklynn shook Franco gently until his eyes opened slowly.

"Doll," He whispered groggily.

"Let me go, I need to go shower for class," Brooklynn told him sleepily.

"Skip it," was all Franco said before pressing his face into her neck again.

Brooklynn really wanted to. It was only review. She could afford to miss it. She was being too irresponsible for her own good but her eyes slowly closed again and by the time they opened again it was well past eleven.

Franco wasn't in bed with her anymore.

She didn't know where he was but she knew she desperately wanted water. She rubbed her eyes as she walked down to his kitchen. He was wide awake and sweaty while he downed what looked to be some kind of chocolate protein shake.

Brooklynn walked past him to his refrigerator where she found the water bottle she was looking for.

"Good morning," He said after wiping his mouth.

"Morning... what did I tell you yesterday?" Brooklynn asked after downing the entire water bottle in one go.

Franco shrugged carelessly.

"I told you you couldn't sleep with me, Franco," Brooklynn reminded him before poking him softly on the chest.

"Why not?" He asked arrogantly.
