Mafia's World

Chapter Fifteen

Half an hour later, we walked into the house and went to eat lunch. Vincenzo and Angelo joined us, but they kept joking around. Even though Marissa is the other woman in this house, I felt alone. But I am surrounded by a bunch of men. After we finished eating, I followed the guys down to the gym and I sat down on the bench.

Dominic sat down next to me. "So, Mel, why don't you tell me a little about yourself?"

"What would you like to know?"

He laughs and says, "Everything. How old are you?"

"I am 24. How old are you?"

When he smiled, it turned me on. "I'm 28. What is your favorite color?"

"Violet. What's yours?"

I looked at him. "Blue." I turned to face him as I put my leg over on the other side of the bench. He looked down, and I saw him playing with a ring.

"Married?"

He sighs and says, "I was but she left me a few months ago."

"She found out about all of this?" He nods at me. "Not every woman will leave because of your lifestyle, you just have to find the right one."

He smiles as he looked at me. "I think Elijah found his match."

"We'll never know."

He took my hand. "I can see how he looks at you. Even now he can't keep his eyes away. Did he tell you how he feels?"

"He told me he loves me."

 I looked at him, and I looked at our hands. "Do you love him?"

"Yes."

He moves closer, so our knees are touching. "Are you willing to move away from your family to live with him?"

"As long as I get to see my mother then, yes, I will do anything for him. I've been feeling lonely for quite a while now and when he came into my life, all of that changed."

He smiles, and says, "So, I guess that means I'm getting friend zoned?"

Before I can say anything, Elijah says, "You are definitely in the friend zone." He sat down behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist as he pulled me against him. "What did I miss?"

"We were just getting to know each other." I looked over at Angelo and Vincenzo and I saw them fighting each other. "So, who will win?"

Elijah laughs, and I looked at him. "Vincenzo thought Angelo everything that he knows so my best bet would be him."

I looked at Dominic as he says, "I vote for Vincenzo too."

Angelo cuts in and says, "What am I pork chop?"

"I'll vote for you, so don't let me down." He smiles at me before he went back to fighting his father.

Vincenzo started laughing as he says, "You really want to vote for my son, Melody." He looks over at me, and I nod at him. "Well, you can watch him lose then." They went back to fighting and Angelo started getting angry every time Vincenzo provoked him.

"Angelo ignore him. You know that you are good at what you do otherwise you wouldn't have gotten the name Fantasma. Isn't that what you told me when we first met."

Elijah whispers, "What are you doing?"

"Helping him out."

He sighs and puts his chin on my head. "Why?"

"I'm the only one voting for him, so I'm helping him build up his confidence. Vincenzo is tearing him down, so why not work against him?" I looked back at him and his eyes met mine. I got lost in his eyes for a few minutes when I heard tapping. We looked over at Vincenzo and Angelo.
