Her Mafia Prince ✔️

Chapter 12 - Don't Let Her Go

~ Gabriella's POV ~

"Hurry up." I rolled my eyes while putting my second earring in before I started fixing my hair, putting it into a high ponytail.

"You're the early one Matteo, just wait, I'm coming." I heard Matteo grumble something to himself before he hung up the phone. I quickly finished the last touches to my hair and make up before putting my socks on and grabbing my purse. Making my way downstairs I shouted my goodbyes to my parents as I put my shoes on by the front door.

I felt like a teenager all over again. I was half expecting them to tell me to be home by 10pm or something, but all I got was a 'bye' from my mom who was in the living room. She didn't sound happy that I was leaving so soon since I only just got back from Matteo's two hours ago. I also spent the night there and I was with Dean all day yesterday too.

Somehow I managed to achieve a social life, something I never had before I met Matteo.

I'm joking - I have like three friends who I never see much anymore but I supposed at some point I had some kind of social life.

Once I left the house I made my way over to Matteo's car where he was leaning against the passenger door, watching me walk towards him with a smirk on his face.

"Matteo." I nodded my head at him as I came to a stop; my greeting causing him to smile as he stood up properly. "Gab Gab."

"I hate that nickname." Matteo chuckled at my words as he came close to me, leaning down to press his lips to mine. I placed my hand on his cheek as I kissed him before I pulled away, mumbling against his lips. "That's all you're getting until this is done."

"Really now?" I nodded my head in response while he just gave me an amused smirk. Just as I opened the car door, Matteo put his hand on it closing it again and within seconds he'd spun me around and pushed me up against his car.

"I don't think so, you should learn your place baby girl." With that his lips connected with mine in another kiss, this time much more heated. Just as his hand snaked around my waist I placed my hand on his chest to push him away from me.

"Anyone could see us Matteo. Stop it." All he did was peck my lips one more time before he opened the door for me again. "Whatever you say Gab Gab."

The entire drive to Adrian's house was filled with Matteo complaining and telling me how useless this trip was going to be. He made sure to emphasise the fact that he didn't want to make up with Adrian and that his brother felt the exact same way about him too. While he complained I just quietly nodded along next to him.

Of course I didn't really give a crap.

"I still don't understand why you brought me with you." I gripped Matteo's hand in mine as we walked to the front door of the house. I recognised the house since it was the same one we went to on our 'date' when Adrian and Jordan hosted Matteo's mother's birthday party.

"If I have to go in there and deal with this then so do you. This is all your fault anyway." Just as I was about to enlighten Matteo about how stupid he sounded, the door swung open to reveal a seemingly very pissed off Adrian who was holding a young toddler in his arms.

"Can I help you?" Honestly I wanted to roll my eyes at how similar they were.

Adrian was focused on Matteo while Matteo just glared at his brother; clearly he'd forgotten the reason we were here was to make up and not to fight. When Matteo didn't say anything and Adrian rose an eyebrow at his brother, looking like he was about to close the door, I quickly spoke.
