Two hearts beat as One[Complete Short Story]

Forbidden Love

Guns shooting from afar towards me as I run and shoot right back at the group of six guys. I got to the dark park and this place is my playground I basically live here and I know this place like the back if my hand. I kick off my high heels and stuff them in a bush as I climb the tree in my dress. I lay and wait for my fathers shooting goons.

Ralph my father's right-hand man and my uncle walked right under the tree I'm in. I wanted to shoot but thought better of it as I just lay still till he walked off and I could get down and sneak past them to get to Tony's place to hide there. Tony Rossi(26) my boyfriend and my father's mafia family rival family. Tony talked to his father and told him about me his father exploded when he heard I'm from the Toscano family here in New York. Ralph came back a second time and I climb the tree a little higher so he won't see me. The finally left. I saw then run back as police sirens scare them off. Thank the heavens for that. I called Tony while I'm still hiding in the tree.

'Hello.' He answered on the third ring.

'Hey, love it's me.'

'Oh, hey baby. You got home okay?'

'No, I got home and daddies goons waited for me at my apartment. They chased me for four blocks and into central park. You still want to get out?'

'More than anything.' Tony sound not like himself.

'What's wrong?'

'My dad froze my account when he heard about us.'

'Mine will probably do the same. Good thing I've been withdrawing over a half a million in cash over the past year. We can put it on traveler's checks and escape to an island somewhere. What do you think?'

'I'm so in. Maybe we can change our names?'

'I like that. Meet me at JFK in 30minutes.' I said, and we hung up. I reload my 'Walter ppk' gun then climb down. I got my shoes and jogged back to my apartment. I got inside and jump to I pack in a hurry all my clothes into two trolley bags with my gym bag with all my hidden cash in. My burner phone and five thousand cash in my handbag, just in case I need to ditch these things. Shit, they shot me on my arm. I bandage it up after I got the bullet out.

Our fathers have been rivals since great-grandfather lived in the 1940s. A few business deals went south and ever since then the Rossi's and Toscano's have been mafia rivals. Tony and I didn't know that we were supposed to be rivals. When we accidentally met one day, in the mall. I was doing some shopping and he saw me and followed me with a bouquet of flowers to give to me. He finally got the nerve to give it to me and we went for coffee and just clicked. That was 3 years ago.

I got an Uber to the airport and twelve minutes later I stood in the travelers check office and put my five hundred and ninety-five thousand dollars on traveler's checks. With my newly issued passport, I picked up last month I head over to the travel agency. Tony spotted me and ran for me. We hugged and hugged.
