Whiskey Neat

Chapter 11

Katerina was now having her morning coffee. It has been two weeks since she left. There was no trace of Valerio anywhere. Wasn't he looking for her? Wasn't he going to apologize? Did she really mean nothing to him?

"Morning Katerina."

Said her cousin while he kissed her cheek.

"Good morning Eduardo."

"You know I go by Bill nowadays."

"Whatever cousin."

"What were you thinking about?"

"Valerio."

"Your ex?"

"Something like that."

Eduardo knew nothing about Katerina's lifestyle, he just knew it was dangerous. The more he knew the more danger he was in.

"When is Adrianna coming home?"

"Next Sunday, will you be here for the wedding?"

"Maybe. I need to go back sometime, you know to face I miei demoni(my demons). "

"Oh Katerina, forse è tempo di vivere una vita normale (maybe it's time to live a normal life)."

"Normale non mi va bene (normal doesn't suit me)"

"Anyways, today I will be working late and then I will have dinner with one of my co-workers."

"Okay have fun."

"You too."

On the same time Valerio's men were loading his plane. He was going to Sicily, he wanted his queen back. He needed her by his side. She was his.

"Please fasten your seatbelts the plane is about to take off."

The plane was in the air now. Valerio had brought Fiorenzo and some of his other men because Javier needed to keep things in line back home.

The flight to Sicily was long, but he was patient. When they reached Sicily the night sky was showing and the stars were shining. As he got off the plane he breathed a long breath. He hadn't been to Italy in such a long time, he missed his homeland.

A black car was waiting for them and drove them to one of the hotels Valerio owned. He also had legitimate businesses apart from running the mob.

"Fiorenzo I'm going for a drink nearby,  you can relax. I will find Katerina in the morning."

"Yes,sir."

He took a car and drove for very little time until he found the bar he was looking for. Not many people knew of this bar and he was glad it still had the same location.

When he entered everyone stared at him except a woman who was sitting at one of the bar stools. She didn't even turn her head. Something about her was familiar. That brown hair, the way she was sitting. Until it finally clicked. He took long steps until he reached her.

Katerina was sitting looking around lost in her thoughts while drawning her misery with whiskey. Yeah she missed him but he betrayed her. How dare he? Something however drew her out of her thoughts.

" Gattina (kitten)."

She turned her head around and was faced the very man that was on her mind everyday for the last couple of weeks.

"Valerio."

" Sentivo la mancanza (I missed you) "

"Dillo a qualcuno a cui importa (say it to someone who cares) "
