Tessa's father is a leader in one of the biggest mafias in the country. She's shadowed him her whole life in order to be ready to take over. But, he forgot to mention that in order to take over, she has to marry someone of his choosing...
Grayson and I drove to my house after school and started doing our homework while we waited for dinner with our parents. We learned more about each other as we talked while doing our homework, and I feel like we've known each other forever because of all the talks that we've had.
About after two hours of homework our parents called us down to eat dinner, and talk business. Grayson's Dad, Sean, greeted me with a quick hug and said it was nice to see me again, before we sat down. Both our families were there, but anyone could sense the tension in the air. I for one, had about just enough.
"So why was there a meeting or dinner called?" I asked, getting straight to the point. "Well, Sean and I have some news for you and Grayson. Please consider this with an open mind before you get mad," My Dad stares cautiously. "Well?" Grayson asked impatiently. "You and Tessa are going to be moving in together, as well as leaving school in order to work on training and this way Tessa can show you how the business works." "Wait, so I'm just supposed to throw away my education and football for the Mafia?" Grayson asks. "Son, I'm sorry it has to be this way, but taking over for us is a big responsibility and we want to make sure you know what you're doing when the time to takeover for us comes." Sean tries to rationalize.
Grayson's POV:
I get that they want us to do well, and that they want us to be able to protect ourselves. But, I can't help but get angry at the fact that they are taking the last part of normalcy in my life right now. I'm already going to give up the rest of my life to lead the mafia, but why can't I just have the rest of the year to live my life?
"Dad, I understand that you want what's best for us, but why does it have to be so soon?"
"Grayson, I know that you're not thrilled about this, but I promise it's going to be worth it." Sean replies. My dad doesn't understand, and I don't think he ever will. I sigh in defeat, "when do we move in?" "Your's and Tessa's things are being moved into the house as we speak. You'll be moving in tonight." Tessa's Dad informs us. "I'm sorry may I be excused?" Tessa asks. She doesn't even wait for a reply, and she leaves and goes to her room. After a few minutes she comes downstairs with a change of clothes and walks right past the table and into on of the rooms down the hall. I start to get worried cause she hasn't come out of the room for at least 30 minutes. "I'm going to go check on Tessa, I'll be back." I said. "Don't worry about it son, in fact afterwards you guys can go to your new home." Tessa's Dad said. I nod my head and start walking towards the room. As I get closer I hear loud music playing, and hear her grunting. Tessa what the hell are you doing in there? I knock on the door, but there was no answer, I try agin but there was still no response. I walk in quietly trying not to scare her. When I look up I see that she changed into a workout outfit and is boxing. She has sweat dripping down her face as she continuously punches the punching bag.

"Tessa!" I yell, but there's no response. "Tessa!" I yell again, but this time I start walking closer to her. I finally tap her shoulder to get her attention, but I automatically regretted it. She punched me in my nose, and I stumbled backwards. "Fuck!" We both yell. "Tessa, why are you saying 'fuck'? You hit me!" Tessa rushes over to me, " I'm sorry Gray it's just I'm really anxious right now and so I started boxing and I was zoned out and when you tapped my shoulder I panicked and I punched you as a reflex because I got scared. Baby I'm sorry." "It's fine Tessa, but why are you so anxious?" "I don't know, but I think it's because the whole situation is starting to feel real. Like I always knew I would have to take over for my dad, but now reality is setting in." I start walking towards her, and wrap my arms around her waist. I kiss her forehead as she buried herself into my chest. "I know babe buys going to be okay, we'll have each other. I won't let anything happen to you. I promise." I lift up her chin with my finger and softly press her lips on to mine. "Let's go home then shall we?" I ask, as I intertwined our fingers and start walking towards the front door.
