The Mafia Mistress

Chapter 1: The Night Out

Hazel's POV:

I was finishing up the song that I chose to sing that day, before I had to go back into the kitchen and check to make sure the dough for the next batch of croissants was done proofing. As I finished the song and stepped off the little stage to the sound of clapping. I smiled and bowed his head in appreciation and hurried to the kitchen to escape the stares of the patrons in the cafe.

I went and checked on the croissants to see if they were ready to go in the oven. "Perfect" I said to myself seeing that the croissants have doubled in size. "Hey Angela would you mind helping me getting these brushed with egg and into the oven" I asked politely to the nice middle aged woman. "Absolutely hun anything for you" she said smiling. Angela was always nice to everybody and so reliable when you needed help. With the help of Angela, I was able to get the croissants into the oven in no time. I thanked Angela for her help and walked out to the front to see if I could find Ryan one of my best friends that I have known for years now.

Ryan was sitting at the bar as always talking to Claire the manager of the cafe. Ryan was chatting away when he spotted me. "Hey Haze these muffins are amazing how about you share the recipe?" he asked. I smiled and looked at him "as if you would ever take the time to bake them that's why you come here" he looked back at me with a fake 'I'm hurt' look. Claire just laughed "Your singing was beautiful as always" she says as she pulls me into a hug "uh oh be careful Claire I believe that's workplace harassment" Ryan jokes as Claire scoffs at the silly attempt at humor.

"Hey Haze" he said in a funny voice "I think I know what your about to say" I interject quickly as he looks at me with this dumb grin on his face. "Yep you turn 21 today you are finally legal to drink we are going to go to 'The Shotgun' and party tonight baby!" he said like a giddy teenager. I looked at Claire she just smiles at me " Happy Birthday Hazel" she said "drinking with Ryan too huh.. man I hope I don't see you guys in the news" she chuckled. I just looked back "thank you and thanks again I guess" I said back. Claire just smiles back with a loving grin and goes back to her office in the back of the store.

Mia's POV:

I watched as Hazel scurried into the kitchen becoming shy and nervous because of the clapping the customers were doing. 'He's so cute and adorable...he better get back out here so I can look at him some more' I thought to myself with a chuckle. The henchman now done scarfing down his scone "hey I'm going to get a blueberry muffin this time" he says as he hurries to the counter. 'Pfft......it's so hard to find good henchmen these days' I thought to myself feeling a headache start to form, but that headache quickly went away as I saw Hazel walking out of the kitchen.

I was watching him with a growing hunger inside of me. He just looked so delicious with those beautiful hazel eyes that soft face and fragile frame of his all the way to those kissable lips "oh the things I would do to you" I said with a low growl. As I was thinking of how good he would look tied up and under me I saw that he was talking to these two people then proceeded to hug and smile at this other bitch.

" Who the fuck is that slut that he's next too" I said getting more and more annoyed by the second " Wow....how can you be possessive and jealous over someone who hasn't even met you?" my henchman said laughing. I was staring daggers at him when he finally stepped back and started to stammer " y-y-you know I over heard that he just turned 21 today and he is going to that bar called 'The Shotgun' to celebrate." "The Shotgun huh..?" I said thinking to myself "Well looks like I'm going to go and see if maybe the birthday boy wants a drink." smiling deviously. "Are you sure you want to go out at night you do know that there is still a mole in the organization and he might take the opportunity to take you out." the henchman said with concern. "I'll be fine don't you worry" I told him.
