The annoying ring of my phone woke me up from a pleasant and nominal sweet dream.I grunt and stretched my arms trying to battle my sleepfulness and attempt to peel my eyes open but they felt so heavy so I decided to shut them close and grabbed my phone from the nightstand.

I swiped my thumb over the answer button with closed eyes without checking the caller display and that was the biggest mistake I ever did because a high pitched voice came from my phone making me fall off the bed and land on the floor with a loud thump.

"ELLE we miss you so fricking much.We whipped so many asses oh we wished you were there to see us manhandling these assholes.Oh wait we aren't men so why can't we even say womanhandling.This is sexist.This isn't fair we're in the 21st century like for god's sake-"

I rubbed my eyes and cussed under my breath.

"What the heck Maria what do you want in the early morning?I can't feel my ears anymore they are for sure bleeding right now.You keep rambling on and I couldn't even get a word from what you said"

"Pft forget it.I just want you to know that we're having a sleepover tonight in your room and oh I almost forgot the boys are coming over too saying they need to talk to Mason about smuggling drugs to overseas oh you weren't supposed to know anyways they're sleeping in the mansion too therefore me and Mia are going to buy some eyes-dropping pyjamas to turn them on.See you tonight and I'm so excited to hear the deets I can't forget about the juicy details don't worry.See you tonight bye"

All I get from her is Sleepover in my room and eyes-dropping pyjamas.
Euh wait eyes-dropping this is absolutely not good.Not good at all she said the word deets too.I'm in so much trouble aren't I?

I got up from the floor with a huff.I really wished that Mason was still here but unfortunately he wasn't.I can't nag at him all the time to spend all his days with me after all he's a mobster.This word makes me shudder involuntary but like I said before if I want him so badly then I need to accept him with all his viciousness and darkness I can't expect him to leave all this behind him just to satisfy me.This is who he is and I should get over it already.

I slept walked all the way to my room and went straight to the bathroom to take a long hot bath.Today I decided to finally to go to the cafe to face Mariano and confess about everything I've been botling up in my chest.He deserves to know that I'm not the one for him and that I won't reciprocte the same feelings as his because Mason already stole my heart.

After I let the hot water relax my sore muscles and reduce the pain in my abdomen I step off the shower and threw the towel over my body and faced the fogged mirror.I applied some paste on my toothbrush and started to brush my teeth while wondering about my old life's routine.I missed to work in the cafe that used to be jam-packed with clients.I really would like to work there again but Mason won't allow me.

I screw up my face and imitate what he would say if I asked him'You can't work there ever again.You're in no need for money.Everything that is mine is yours'.
