A Blessing And A Curse ✔️

2. How did you get my number?

Nova's POV:

After I helped Esme get ready for her party tonight my dad said he needed to talk to me so I made my way to his office.

"Daddy." I smiled as I walked into his office. He stood up from behind his desk and ran over to me and picked me up, making me giggle.
"How's me principessa?" He smiled while placing me back on the ground.
"Good except when I picked Harper up from collage she invited me to Annie's with some guys and one of them was a cop so I fled real quick." I sighed while falling back into his chair.
"You don't have to worry baby, nobody expects a girl to be the capo." He chuckled lightly. My mom comes barging into the room with a smile plastered on her face.
"How was your date?" She smiled while sitting next to me.
"What?" My dad roared making me roll my eyes.
"The guy I said was a cop was Harper's mans friend." I said while running my hand over my face.
"He was a cop?" My mom asked while trying to hold in her laugh.
"Yeah." I sighed, trying to hide the disappointment in my voice.
"Well anyway, how's the shipments going, has Carl sorted everything out?" My dad asked trying to change the subject.
"Yeah, apparently it was the french guys trying to damage our goods." I said seriously as I'm now in business mode. I caught dad up on everything going on right now while mom listened in so when he moans, she knows what he's talking about because he normally just mumbles.
Because it's now about 8pm I decided to make my way back to mine and I offered to drop Esme to the party because it's near my house, I also said I would pick her up and she can stay at mine tonight.

The whole car ride her legs were shaking because she's so nervous.
"Baby girl, chill." I chuckled while holding her hand in mine.
"It's just because there's this guy there who I really like and he's the one who invited me, we have been close recently and I'm just worried he will make me, you know." She whispered.
"Es, if he try's anything I will personally shoot him between the eyes." I smiled while being dead serious, making her chuckle.
"Okay we are here, call me at anytime and I will be here in literally one minute." I smiled while placing a kiss on her cheek.
"Okay thanks Nov, I love you." She said while blowing a kiss and jumping out of the car.
"I love you too." I mouthed as she closed the door and waved to me before running to her group of friends. I drive back to my house and when I arrive I decide to have a much needed shower. The mafia has been so hectic recently, it's like everything seems to be going wrong and I'm just so worn out and to top it all off, the first guy I have found attractive since Ace is a fucking cop.

I have an extra long shower before getting out and throwing on my grey sweatpants and my Givenchy black hoodie with black socks. I decided to leave my natural wavy hair flow freely while I make my dinner.

While I make my chicken and rice I dance around the kitchen to the music playing on the tv when my phone goes off. I instantly reach for it as it might be Es.

Unknown Number...

Thanks for paying for food earlier. I would love to see you again.
Jordan x

What the fuck. How did he get my number? I can't help the butterflies in my stomach when I saw his name.

How did you get my number?

I sent it and I instantly put my phone down trying to focus on my dinner.

Jordan
Well I couldn't let the most beautiful girl I have ever seen just walk away could I?

Oh god, I'm fucked.
I finish making my dinner and Jordan and I have been texting for the last few hours.
Esme messages me and asked me to pick her up which i do and we drive back to mine.
"Are you drunk?" I asked with a smirk.
"Just a little." She giggled.
"Do you wanna sleep in my bed tonight then so when you wake up throwing up your aren't alone?" I smiled in her direction, she nodded and that's what we did. We led in bed watching greys anatomy before we both fall asleep.

"You good baby girl?" I asked while Esme stands up and gets dressed.
"Yeah what time are we going back home because I need to study for my biology test this week." She smiled.
"I'll get ready then we can go." I mumbled while rolling out of bed and heading to the bathroom.
I do all my necessities and then walk into my closet to get ready for work.

I pick my black and while suit jacket and pants and pair it with my black lacy vest, showing my rather full chest, with my Gucci white sneakers.
I leave my hair natural and did very light make up before walking into the kitchen to see Esme falling asleep next to a piece of toast.
"Es." I whispered as I shook her slightly. She jumps up and looks around confused before realising where she is, making me laugh.
On the journey to our parents house we sang our hearts out to every type of song you can think of. I dropped her off outside because I know if I go in my dad will ask if I want him to come in with me to help but I'm perfectly capable of running things on my own. I know my dad still sees me as the little girl I was when I first came back to them.

I drove into New York City and worked my ass of all day solving everyone's issues. Jordan and I have been texting all day and I feel so guilty about it. He asked if I wanted to go out tonight and I said yes because honestly he makes me smile, for the first time in months. He's sweet and not an asshole but I can't get attached because he's a police officer and I'm the capo. It could never work.

I drove back home to Kingston which is about and hour and forty five minute drive, Jordan said we could meet at Annie's again. When I pull into the parking lot I see Jordan stood next to a matte blue BMW I8, smoking. God I don't know why but a guy smoking has always been a turn on to me, it's probably because I smoke and they don't say anything about it. But also he just looks sexy. He is wearing black ripped skinny jeans with a white T-shirt and a black leather jacket with black sneakers. I park and walk over to him.
"Woah." He breathed out, making me chuckle slightly.
"You look good." I smirked while pulling a cigarette out of my bag. I put it between my lips while I rummage through my bag looking for a lighter, Jordan pulls his out of his pocket and lights it for me.
"Thank you." I said while breathing in the smoke. Even though I wasn't looking at him, I could feel his eyes burning holes all over my body.
"How was work then?" He asked while leaning against his car and breathing the smoke out of his lungs.
"Stressful but what isn't." I shrugged while chuckling slightly with Jordan doing the same.
"Yeah I get you." He nodded.
"What about you?" I asked while staring into his deep chocolate eyes.
"To be honest, I hate it. The system is fucked and I don't really see much point doing it anymore." He confessed making me smile.
"How come?" I asked wanting to know more.
"My boss is still racist, any time a black guy gets arrested, he asks me to talk to him because we have a 'bond'." He said in quotation marks.
"That's fucked." I mumbled while scrunching my face up.
"What would you do if you stoped?" I asked while tilting me head to the side slightly.
"That's the problem, I don't know." He shrugged. We both threw our cigarettes out at the same time and he placed his huge hand on the small of my back as we walked into the diner.
We both ordered the same thing unintentionally, bacon cheese burger with fries, onion rings and a chocolate shake.
The more I spend time with or talk to him I realise how alike we are and I'm starting to fall for him. I keep reminding myself that can't happen but then he smiles or touch's me or makes me laugh and that slips my mind, I can't get hurt again but I kinda wanna risk it.
