The Mafia's Hidden Gem

•16•

It has been about a week since Zayne and I talked on the balcony. Things have been pretty busy and dad has been trying to figure out who tried to bomb the building. I have been spending time with Ma and I also started my online classes.
We are all sitting at breakfast when Dad says "Zayne I need to speak with you in my office after breakfast."
Zayne nods and continues eating.

Zayne's POV
After breakfast I go upstairs to Lorenzo's office. I hear him say to come in after I knock. He is sitting at his desk looking out the window and he appears to be deep in thought. "Have a seat" he motions toward one of the two leather chairs opposite of his desk. With a sigh he turns to me "I want you to be Noel's bodyguard."
I froze, I have tried to stay away from her but there is just something about her that I can't get enough of her. "With all due respect sir, Noel has proved that she can take care of herself better then some of our men. I feel that she does not need a body guard."

Most people would get tortured for talking to him like this but since I am basically a son to him so he lets it slide and actually takes my opinion into account. With that he tells me I can go. Walking into the game room I see Matteo playing COD. I sit down and let out a frustrated sigh. "What's wrong man? Wait!!! Let me guess. Girl problems." He says with a cheeky grin.

"Eh sorta."

"You don't have to lie to me, I know you like Noel."

"No I don't." He gave me a 'You expect me to believe that' look
"Ok maybe a little."

"Your just in denial."

"Wait your not mad?"

"No, I get it man, you finally found your girl. Which just so happens to be my baby sister so I swear if you hurt her I. Will. End. You. Best friend or not." He said with the harshest glare I have ever seen him give.

"Trust me, I don't ever want to hurt her."
"Good" He smiles and turns back to the game like he didn't just threaten me. I swear he is bipolar sometimes.

Noel's POV
I wonder what Dad wanted to talk to Zayne about. Shrugging it off I go downstairs to do some training. While I am doing my cool down one of Dad's guards walk in and says Dad wants me in his office.
Running upstairs and taking the quickest shower ever I change and throw my hair up in a messy bun before I walk to dads office. He is the one that wanted me so I don't bother to knock I just walk in. When I walk in I see all of my brothers along with Ma and Zayne. I plop down on the couch next to Ma and I put my head on her shoulder. Dad looks in between Zayne and I "Zayne is going to be your bodyguard."
"WHAT!?" I jump out of my seat. "I am more than capable of taking care of myself!!"
"I know that sweetheart but someone is obviously after us and I just want you to be safe. And I know you have trained and are able to fight but Zayne is one of our best fighters."
"I can fight too ya know."
"Yes, you can but you don't fight underground."
I look at Ma and she gave me a slight nod and gave my leg a comforting pat.
With a sigh I look at dad "I am Black Star."
Everyone looked at me dumbfounded.
I could tell that they didn't believe me but Ma confirmed"It is true, I have seen her fight and she is amazing."
Marco looked at me "So you mean to tell my little sister is the undefeated champion OF THE WORLD!!!"
I simple look at him and nod. His mouth just hangs open as he continues to look at me. I roll my eyes and look at Dad "See, I can take care of myself, I don't need a body guard"

"Ok I will make you a deal."

"I'm listening."

"Zayne can act as a bodyguard when you are out on public at events so people think you are constantly guarded but he doesn't have to guard you when you just go out to go to the store and stuff like that. It is either Zayne or four bodyguards following you around. At least with Zayne it looks more normal than four guys following you around."

"Fine" I grumble out.
With that we all leave and go our separate ways. As I am walking down the hallways Donte falls in step with me "I can't believe that my little sister is an undefeated champion."
I laugh a little "Well you better believe it because it is true."
"I should have known because when we spare you use some of Black Stars signature moves and you do them perfectly."
He kissed my forehead and went off to do whatever it is he does.

Finally I am done. With a sigh I close my laptop. I have been doing class for the last four hours. Right as I am about to put my stuff away there is a knock on the door. "Come in"
The door opens and Zayne stands in the doorway. "Yes?"
"I figured since I am your bodyguard I should know stuff about you." He said with a smirk.

Oh boy this is going to be a long day.
