My Bastard Mafia Leader (Completed)

Ready for the Gala

"I hate galas." I pouted. "Everyone just tries to one up each other and it's a pain. Especially the ladies. They see a guy and they pounce. It's like a cheetah and a little animal. Like seriously people, can't you behave yourselves."

"I know you don't like them angel but we have to go. We are the biggest-"

"Mafia and we can't let them think we are intimidated. We also need to make alliances. I know." Ashton just chuckled. I've complained and he's had the same answer several times.

"You'll be fine. Now go get ready." I kissed Ashton on the cheek before going to get ready. Pretty soon I hear Mia at the door to help me get ready.

"Hey babes."

"Hey."

"I have something to tell you!" We both yelled in unison. We both laughed as we made my way to my room.

"Ok. You first Mia."

"Ok. So don't be mad but I became a seductress." She rambled.

I am honestly kind of shocked. Mia has always been great at fighting one on one. I never knew she took interest in being a seductress.

"I am happy that you found something you like." I replied sincerely.

"Thank goodness. I didn't know how I would handle it if you were mad."

"What did your parents say?"

"Ummm. Something like," Mia coughed real quick before imitating her father. "What the hell?! I forbid this. You can't do this! Your still my daughter!"

I started to laugh and she joined in too. "He'll come around."

"Eventually. I also have one more thing to say."

"What?"

"I'm going to be someone's date tonight." She rushed.

"What? Who?"

"Leader of the Italian mafia. We met at the bar and he doesn't know I work for you or your dad... whoever it is."

That's who Ashton mentioned. At the stupid gala we are going to try to get him to partner with us.

"That's wonderful! Ashton and I are actually going to try to get an alliance with him tonight. What's his name? Braden." I uncertainly questioned.

"Mmhm. Hot too. Now speaking about Ashton, how it with you guys?"

Mia put on her dress and tossed me mine as well. We made it to the bathroom to do our hair before I answered.

"We kissed." I blurted covering my mouth with my hands.

"Again?" My face told her the answer. "Knew it. Spill." She demanded.

"He tried talking to me, I yelled, he yelled. I told him why I was mad which was because we kissed the week before and then he started to ignore me."

"I remember that. You were a mess." I chuckled. "Maybe."

"Anyways, I asked him if I was that big of a distraction that he had to ignore me and he yelled yes so I walked out back. I heard the door open but I told him away or so I thought. I thought I heard the door open and he him leaving but he was just closing the door." I finished curling my hair and looked to see that Mia was almost done as well.

"I started to sing maybe and he heard. He told I was a distraction because I had a pretty smile and a beautiful laugh." I could feel my face getting red at mentioning it.

"We said we liked each other and we kissed. The end."

"That's so cute May. I knew you were hesitant on going into the marriage but I think in the long run, it'll be the best thing you've ever done." I hugged her and tried to keep my watering eyes in check. I'm always quite emotional with Mia and same for her with me. I am lucky to have her as a friend.

"You know, everyone said he is a heartless prick who I need to be aware of but he's really a soft teddy bear. When it comes to work he can be a heartless with the enemies but that's it."

"I'm just glad you're happy May."

"Me too."

Finally we finished getting ready and we both looked stunning. Mia in her deep red dress and me in my deep blue dress. Of course they were fancy considering this is a gala and all. We talked some for a while before Mia had to go. Apparently Braden is suppose to pick her up in 45 minutes and it's a half hour drive to where she lives. I hugged her at the door bid goodbye.

"I'll see you later tonight."

"Yeah you will. I'll be shining so bright everyone will see me." I laughed at what she said. I absolutely loved her confidence.

"Not brighter than me." I yelled back.

"We'll see." I shut the door as she got in her car and walked back to my room. I wanted to make sure my makeup was good. When I finished I came out of my room and saw Ashton from in his room. His door was wide open and he was just down the hall.

He looked hot. Like really hot. His normal slightly curly dirty blonde hair was gelled back. He had on a two piece black suit with a bow tie, which he is currently struggling to get on, with fancy black shoes. I walked into his room and walked in front of him. He managed to get the bow tie on but it was still crooked.

"Damn angel." He looked at me up and down before speaking again. "You look good in that dress. Very beautiful."

I felt my cheeks get red and I knew that I was blushing. "Thank you, and you look good in your suit. I know you where one almost everyday but I think it looks better tonight."

"Thanks." He said chuckling. I finally got the bow tie straight and looked up at Ashton. He was a bit taller than me so I had to look up. I am 5' 7" and he is 6' 3". Just a little bit taller. I looked down embarrassed for no reason.

"I hate galas." That is the only thing I could think of to say.

"I know angel. Now let's go get this over with." He quickly stole a kiss from me before leading us to his car. Too bad for me, this was going to be a longer night than normal.
