Whiskey Neat

Chapter 17

Katerina was still full of blood when they went into the main area of the house. Valerio had someone call every member to come to the main area. Everybody was already there waiting for their boss.

Valerio and Katerina came forward and stood in the middle of the crowd. They all bowed their heads out of respect for their leader.

"I guess you are all wondering what this is about."

A bunch of yes' were heard from all over the place. There were a lot of people there and this wasn't even the only warehouse.

"Next to me is Katerina Russo. Some of you may know her some of you may don't. She is from now on your queen. The one who rules beside me, the one who cares for you as much as I do and my equal. I trust you to respect her or else there are bound to be consequences."

As Valerio finished a girl with brown hair came forward.

"She doesn't look very much capable."

All eyes turned on her, even if they didn't know her. They knew she was the one that tortured the guy downstairs.

"What's your name?"

Asked Katerina very loudly.

"Johanna."

"Well Johanna since you want to challenge me and question my position and capabilities please come forward."

The girl did as told.

"Now since some of you still don't know me let me just show you what happens when people disrespect me."

She said as she tied her hair in a ponytail.

"Shoot me."

She told the girl. The girl took her gun out but before she was able to shoot Katerina snatched her gun and kicked her stomach.

The girl was now on the floor looking extremely angry.

"You fucking bitch."

Katerina rolled her eyes, typical loser response. She shot the girl in the head and went back to where she was standing with Valerio.

All the people there bowed down one by one to their newly found queen.

"Since today is supposed to be a celebration of me finding my queen you are all free of your duties for the day and welcome to come to one of my clubs."

All the people cheered as Valerio turned to Katerina.

"You know it was very hot. The way you tortured Elijah and the way you killed Johanna."

Said Valerio whispering in her ear.

"Mr. Ferrari hold your horses. We have to get ready and go to your club with all your members."

She pecked his lips and grabbed his hand dragging him to a car. They went back home and started getting ready when Amara entered Katerina's room.

"Oh hello my queen."

Said Amara doing a courtesy.

"Shut up. Are you coming to the club?"

"Of course I am that's why I came here."

Katerina raised an eyebrow at her friend.

"Do you still have that grey dress with the long ass zipper in the front?"

Asked Amara doing her best puppy eyes.

"Ah go get it."

Said Katerina and pointed to her closet.

"See you there love you."

Screamed Amara as she left running, god knows why she was running and not walking like a normal person.

After two hours Katerina was ready, she was wearing a black satin dress that reached mid-thigh and was backless. She had bright red lipstick on and some silver earrings.

She left her room and jumped a little when she saw Valerio right outside her door.

"Well you look... ready to club."

Said Valerio through gritted teeth.

"What is it Val?"

She asked a little annoyed because she already knew what he was going to say.

"Isn't this dress a little I don't know, revealing?"

"I'm not in the mood to argue let's just go and I will wear your coat most of the time."

She grabbed his hand and they made their way to the car, a victorious grin on Valerio's face.

After some time they got to the club Valerio and Katerina had first met.

"Wow this is getting sentimental."

Said Katerina looking straight at Valerio. Not waiting for him to reply she made her way inside the club and over to the bartender.

"I want two whiskeys neat please."

She told the bartender as Valerio sat right next to her. The bartender gave them their drinks. Katerina gulped her's down and made her way to the dance floor. A drunk guy wrapped his arms around her waist but before she could tell him off a bunch of guns were pointed at him.

"Guys he's drunk, it's okay, I am okay please go back to having fun."

She said smiling at them as she made her way back to where her and Valerio were sitting. Katerina let out a scoff as Valerio chuckled.

"I think that clubs are full of drama just saying."

Said Katerina obviously annoyed.

"Our men, saw their queen being touched by someone without her permission. What did you expect?"

"Aren't they sweethearts?"

She asked sounding sweet and not as ironic as many would think.

"They love you and respect you Katerina. Hell I think they like you more than they like me."

Katerina blew him a little kiss and a wink. Soon enough Fiorenzo came and sat in between them.

"Kitty Kat I have a challenge for you."

He said as he smiled devilishly.

"What is it Enzo?"

She said while sipping her second drink.

"We're playing a shot game. We bet money on who we think is gonna last more etc."

Katerina rolled her eyes.

"No Enzo I'm bored."

"Yeah alright pussy."

Said Fiorenzo in an attempt to make her play. Valerio was looking at the two of them waiting for Katerina's response.

"You're so on asshole."

After a good two hours of drinking and Katerina being crowned winner, Valerio was carrying her very drunk self to the car.

"You know you look a lot like my little Valy. You are both so tall and handsome."

Valerio couldn't help but chuckle at her drunk words.

"I will tell you a secret but you have to pinky promise not to tell Valy. Okay?"

She said and held her pinky up, which he took and shook. She held her purse up to hide what she was telling him from the other people there.

"I think I'm kinda in love with him."
