Book 2✔️ Between The Mafias

16. The one with Leo and Amber (bonus)

Leonardo's POV

I was fucking fuming when Emilie said she was getting back with Max. I thought liked me. Then, when I saw that she was wearing his ring again, I was just done. I was disappointed in her.

I thought she was better than that. I thought she valued herself more than to get back together with that Russian dickhead. He fucking cheated on her and killed her baby. Okay, so Emilie and I kissed. But still. She saw him at his safe house. You never know how things could progress if we didn't interrupt them.

My hand itched to get my gun and put some holes in his tailored designer shirt. But I think Emilie would hate me forever for doing that. So I let Amber pour me a glass, and I followed her instructions to drink it. She even patted my hand as if to say Good job each time I finished off my glass.

Alright. I'll drink.

I couldn't let her do this to me again. I couldn't fucking wait for her, like a stupid teenage boy. I was boiling on the inside as I dismissed them from my sight. She was going back with Max. Emilie thanked me and said her goodbyes to her friends. Max also thanked me for taking care of her for the past weeks.

Bullshit.

I just couldn't take it anymore. Amber kept on pouring me drinks, patting my hand. She was weirdly calming me down as she talked about her best friend. Emilie was right, Amber was the sensible one. In her speech where she was calming me down, Amber told me that Emilie loved Max and that my behavior would not make her change her mind. I listened to her words, drinking, and calming myself down. I kept on twitching my fingers, trying to keep them away from my gun.

I could hear Emilie telling Amber to make sure that I got back safely. I smirked and finished off my glass. This cute, polished, and appropriate woman? She would make sure that I was safe. All right then.

We all got back minutes later. Angelica, Amanda, and Celia were driven back to their place by Matteo. While Amber insisted on babysitting me back to my place with Paolo.

"Just let me do this, Leonardo. I already told her, that I'll make sure you get back safe." She uttered the second she joined me in the back seat of my car.

I could see Paolo smirking from the rearview mirror.

"I saw that Paolo, is it? You better keep your eyes on the road. I'm trying to take care of your boss here."

Wow, she's feisty.

Emi was right. Amber was more like the mom in the group. But she was dressed and poised like your sexy teacher, the one that you lusted for when you were back in high school.

I think this was the second time that I saw her. She always looked poised. Tonight she was wearing a knee-length dress, not showing off anything but her curves. Her hair was tucked up high in a ponytail. I could just grab it and pull it down and...

Wait what?

Fuck. I think I'm drunk.

I saw her typing on her phone furiously. Then she picked up the incoming call. She looked at me, putting a finger on her lips, signaling me to be quiet. I was still amazed at her lips. It was so plump and full.

Fuck...okay, I'm drunk.

"What the hell, Pete! It's a simple job, yes I know what time it is. I want it done this afternoon, not tomorrow. You... do not want me to come there and settle this thing for you. You will make it happen. I don't fucking care how. Man up and think! Don't use your balls. Think higher. Use your other brain, the one that's on your head. Email me when it's done!" She sighed and I was fucking stiff. Hard as a rock. I was so turned on by her words.
