Trust No One! Not Even Me

3 Years Later

It's been three years since the boat trip, and surprisingly me and Sonny have kept our promise and stayed in contact. Mostly over the phone since he live so far away, still in New York but nowhere close to my grandparents house. We text and talk all day, but sometimes we go days without talking and at first I was nervous but he told me that he was in training and that he'll always be okay. He said he's determined to make it home safe just to talk to me, he never told me what his training was for but I didn't care because it was none of my business.

Today was one of those days where I haven't heard from Sonny, so I was in my room doing homework to keep my mind off of him. Thank god this was my last year of high school, in a few weeks I would be graduating and off to college in Los Angeles.

"Selena you have a visitor!" My grandpa shouted as he walked past my door. A visitor? I don't ever have a visitor, barely have any friends. I got up out of bed and fixed my pajama shorts, I walked downstairs and into the living room where my grandma was watching tv and knitting. "Don't be out there to long, and keep the door close." She says.

"Yes ma'am." I open the screen door, shutting the other door behind me before walking outside. It was dark out and all I can see was a figure with its back turned to me. "Hello?" I asked.

The figure turns around, when I saw who it was I immediately smiled. "What the hell are you doing here?" I ran and gave Sonny a hug.

He squeezed me tightly, "Decided to surprise you." He pecked my check and handed me a small red box "Picked something up for you."

I snatched the box and ripped it opened "Oh wow....it's beautiful! Thank you so much Sonny." It was a diamond necklace with a small picture of us in it, on the back it was engraved with our name and the date when we first met. "Here let me put it on." I turned around and Sonny placed the necklace on me, his soft warm touched made my stomach tingle.

"I love it." I bit my bottom lip and touched the necklace, "Thank you so much!"

"I want you to wear it to my party." He says

"A party? At your place? You want me to come to your house....am I allowed?" I asked, he chuckled. When we were kids I wasn't allowed over, no one wasn't allowed to enter the Capone home.

"Yes, I'm inviting you." He grinned "You have to wear a nice dress, I don't care if it's black but a dress is a rule."

"Whatever makes you happy." I smiled, Sonny gave a half smile before walking closer and pulling my face into his. He cupped my face and placed a kiss on my forehead, then looked me in my eyes before kissing me on the lip. What was going on? I was kissing my best friend and I loved it! It was such a gentle kiss, a gentle kiss that was so explosive and filled with so much love.

"I'll text you the details, okay?" He said pulling away but stilling cupping my face.

"I'll be waiting." Sonny walked away to his car, where a man dressed in all black opened the door for him.

I waited into they drove off before running back inside. This may have been the best night of my life!
