Ties With The Mafia Boss

Chapter Three

~

"Trust me, you don't want to know my name!"

~Unknown~

"Trust me this is not going to end good, you need to focus no time for distractions like her" James and Samuel looked at their boss, just a little worried.

"She looks so innocent" was all Luca replied to his two closest friends.

"Luca, Samuel is right you really need to focus on the mission though" James took a step towards his boss and best friend before planting his hand on his shoulder.

"I know" Luca sighed heavily before opening the file again, reading everything for the upcoming mission.

~Maddie~

"This is so scary" Luna said holding the newspaper directly into my face.

'MAFIA STRIKES AGAIN - 14 DEAD'

I nodded taking a sip from my latte macchiato.

"Okay, you're really distracted today, what's wrong with you?" Luna put down the newspaper just to look me directly in the eye.

"I really don't want to talk about it. It's just tha- oh my god!" I almost dropped my latte macchiato when I saw the light brown haired guy walk in with his 2 friends.

"What?" Luna asked looking behind her.
"Oh, they are handsome I can see why you're staring.Is it the blonde guy you're staring at? Or the really tall one?" she eyed them up and down and didn't even stop when his friend with blonde hair saw her staring. He nudged his two friends, and now all three were looking at us.

"Hey, Hi! My friend thinks you are good looking and I think I have to agree with that" Luna almost yelled. My face turned completely red while the three boys were obviously laughing.

"Who do you think is handsome, Maddie?" coffee guy walked over to our table with a serious expression and stopped right next to Luna's chair, in front of me.
"I-I wasn't n-no" I started stuttering while Luna looked at me with a shocked expression.

"You two know each other?" Luna turned to look at him, while he just nodded.
"Yeah, since we bumped earlier than expected, let's hang out now instead of tonight, or both"
All I could do was nod, while getting up.

"t-tonight?" Luna asked confused.
"I'll call you later" I grabbed Luna wrist quickly and left the coffee shop.

~2.30 a.m.~

We spend the whole day talking and getting to know each other. Well he actually didn't talk about himself that much, but we did have fun.
We were sitting at our usual table, him with a coffee in his hand, while I had my ice cream.

"Will we meet again tomorrow?" he asked with a hopeful look.
"Sure, always" I saw how his lips curled into a slight smile. But exactly how fast they did curl into a smile the smile was gone again.

"Luca" he said after a moment of silence.

"L-Luca?"

"My name. It's Luca" he turned to look at me and grabbed my right hand with his free left one and intertwined our fingers.
"Oh" I smiled as blush rose to my cheeks. Luca chuckled.

As usual he was the one getting up first. I followed after.

"I'll see you tomorrow Maddie. Be safe" to my surprise Luca pulled me into a tight hug. His scent filling my nose.

I felt so safe and welcomed by his hug that I didn't want to pull away.
Luca pulled away after a few seconds and started to make his way down the opposite site of the road.

"Luca!" I called after him. He stopped and turned around walking just a little bit closer to me again.

"Yeah?"

"I enjoy spending time with you, I hope you know that" I said before turning around, making my way back home.

It was 3:56 am when I got to my house. I opened to door quietly and walked into the dark house.

"Where have you been?" I was startled by the voice of my father. He turned on the light and I saw him standing in the doorway of the kitchen together with Xavier.

"O-Oh I was at Luna's we fell asleep watching Dramas" the lie slipped out of my mouth way too easily, but they both seemed to buy it.

"Sit down Maddie, we need to talk"
