HADES

Phone calls

The two of them sat and waited for Sebastian to pick up. Celina fiddled with her fingers nervously, not understanding how Hades would be able to convince her horrible fiancé to lie. Hades on the other side was completely relaxed, as he raced down the streets of the West. It was getting quite dark and he would have to find a place to sleep at for the night. Not to mention, a place to hide away his car.

"Oh, look whose calling" Sebastians voice resonated through the speaker. The poor man did not know that his fiancé was currently in the prisoner's car and that he could hear him clearly.

"Sebastian" Celina sighed, looking at Hades for help. But before he could step in, Sebastian interrupted.

"You are in so much trouble, Celina Moretti. Just remember that. I could not talk in front of our parents today, but just wait until I see you" he seethed out, angry at everything that was happening to him. For once in his life, he was losing by someone who wasn't scared of his power.

Hades did not like the tone of his voice at all and decided to make himself known. "When would you like to see me?" the prisoner spoke up, using his charm to annoy the man on the other end. That was one thing that Sebastian couldn't stand, the fact that Hades was so relaxed when talking to him.

"W-what? Never, never" Sebastians voice was panicked and he stuttered and stumbled over his words, making Celina smile widely.

"No? I thought we were friends Sebastian" Hades teased with him, supporting a grin as wide as the girl beside him.

"Friends? Us?" Sebastian was utterly confused at the phone call. He did not understand the humor of the prisoner and was like a chicken without a head at this point.

"Yeah. We had a pleasant greeting yesterday, didn't we? I introduced myself and all" Hades explained himself, watching Celina cover her mouth to not laugh out loud. Her nose crinkled slightly, and her eyes twinkled. Without thinking, Hades stretched out his arm to caress her chin. The girls grin was wiped off immediately and she looked down, feeling flustered.

"Y-yes, of course" Sebastian answered cowardly. "May I ask what you called for?" he asked, before regretting his decision.

Hades tsked as he heard the question and watched as Celina whipped her head up to him, wanting to listen to the answer. What would Hades say about what they were doing? The question and emotions swirling in her head were clearly shown on her face as she looked at him with her big doe like eyes. The man, who was still caressing her chin, put a strand of her hair behind her ear as he spoke.

"Of course you can Sebastian. I called to tell you that Celina is with me and will stay with me for a while. Tell her parents that she is staying with you, will you do that?" he tested the boy who was about to object.

"I have no objections there" Sebastian rushed out and giggled nervously, to which Hades cringed. "It is like you said that day. Celina is your woman-" he tried to explain himself, but Hades quickly cut the call. Celina furrowed her eyebrows and turned to watch the man beside her, who tried to look away without making it noticeable. He was dying of embarrassment and the new feelings that occurred in him made him feel weird. Never before had he been so careful around a female and now, it seemed as if the only thing he could do was to take care of her.

"uhm, how long is it left?" Celina tried to divert the topic because of the butterflies in her stomach.

Hades didn't look at her when he answered. "two hours or so gattina. Get some sleep until then" he advised her and tried not to yawn in front of her. He was equally as tired as her, maybe even more, but he did not want her to worry about him.

"Two hours?! Isn't there any other hotels nearby?" Celina questioned, noticing his eyes start to flutter close every now and then. She was not as innocent as Hades thought and her experience of being Morettis daughter did teach her to inspect people closely. Celina already knew that the man did not take properly care of himself and did not want to see him torture his body any more.

"It is, but I have to do something first" he told her vaguely, to which she nodded. That was the end of their conversation and Celina curled up in the passenger seat to find a comfortable position enough to sleep at. With some tosses and turns, he watched her breath even out indicating that she was asleep.

He yawned quietly and blinked rapidly, inspecting the dark streets. The West had always been darker, but it wasn't shocking. It had gone through some traumatic incidents in its own that were not healed by a mafia leaders money like in the East.

Upon seeing the goosebumps on her arms, Hades put on the seat warmer on her side and watched her almost purr out in delight. A smile graced on his lips and he had to force himself to look away from the peaceful sight in front of him.

As Hades used the next two hours to drive to a garage to hide his car and hop into a taxi with Celina asleep in his arms, the Morettis were finally ready to drive over to the West to find the prisoner. They were, just like last time, assigned with streets to raid to find "Ryder". Patrick was almost dying from stress at the bare thought of Hades finding him because of the whole raiding stuff. The prisoner would think that Patrick snitched and come after him, just like he did to Sebastian. The mere thought was enough for Patrick to drive back to the West to warn Hades about the Morettis arrival.

That was the only thing he thought about as he drove to the scary and dark side of town but was bummed to see the flat unattended. Upon peeking through the window, he realized that the prisoner had ran away. There was no furniture that he remembered from the last time he was in the flat. However, nothing made him squeak more than seeing Celina's car parked horribly in front of the house.

"Am I dreaming? This can't be true" he mumbled to himself as he tried his best to not scream from frustration. "Did Sebastian give Celina to-" he stopped himself from finishing that sentence. "Fuck no. we are all dead" he whispered in realization of what Moretti would do to them if he got to know that they knew about Hades. A thought of him in the West with the street rats flashed in front of him and that was enough for him to plot a plan to get rid of Celina's car from Hades parking. And that too quickly because he could not wait to pay Sebastian a visit to explain the deep shit they had fallen into.

The stress Patrick was feeling was the complete opposite from the peaceful aura Celina felt as she snuggled deeper into Hades chest. She was snoring lightly and had tucked herself close to his body with her head in his neck. Hades did not mind and at all and traced random patterns on her back, making her sigh out in relief every once in a while. A sudden and harsh halt from the driver made him cuss out loudly to the traffic in front of him, making Celina sit up quickly. She looked around, almost as if she was panicked.

"What is-" she gasped and uttered, before she was calmed down by a warm and large hand grabbing her chin. The dark made his featured blocked out, but the silhouette of his large frame was recognizable.

"Shhh, Its okay. I am here" he whispered to her, pulling her face closer. Just then, the driver drove past a light, making Hades caring eyes appear in front of her for a slight moment. It was enough for her though and she nodded in relief. 

Hades carefully kissed her nose before helping her back to her sleeping position. This time however, Celina was too sleepy to care about her actions. So, she laid down with her head in his lap as she faced his toned chest. Hades tensed visibly and as she had closed her eyes, already drifting back to sleep, he tried to breath in and out to control his heart. He was still new to the whole affection thing, making it difficult to hold her so intimately.

The monsters in his head, sighed out and watched him dumbfounded. They urged him to touch her and embrace her, like she had to him. It seemed as if the driver agreed and upon seeing the whole scene from the rear-view mirror, he intentionally put pressure on the break pedal. Just like before, Celinas head came crushing into his toned stomach area, making her flutter her eyes open. She was half way awake and upon seeing a distressed Celina, Hades started playing with her hair as he caressed her back. The driver smirked, before asking.

"Your missus?" he asked, in a thick voice.

"My missus" Hades confirmed as he looked straight into his eyes, completely oblivious to the smile gracing Celinas face before she fell into a blissful dream.
