His Mafia Queen

Chapter 20

"I'm home" I called out as I walked into my apartment.

I was not sure if Abby was home yet.

Just as I thought I was alone, I heard the shower running from Abby's home. I was surprised she was in as this is the busiest time of the year.

I walked into the kitchen and picked up a bottle from the fridge and drank some water when I heard some shuffling. I guess Abby was out of the shower. I replaced the bottle back and into the fridge and walked out only to see her walk around with a towel, drying her hair.

"Hey" I greeted her which caused her to scream out in surprise.

She held her chest calming her nerves.

"Relax, it's just me" I whispered so that I don't scare her more.

"What are you doing here? I thought you weren't allowed to leave his place" She stated.

"Yeah, I wasn't. It's not like he is my father, that I have to obey his words. No way am I letting him control me"

I thought about his promise to me, that he wouldn't control me, but I feel like he just broke it.

"And I wanted to clear my mind. I couldn't do it in his place anyways" I continued, as I played with my hand.

"Is everything alright? You seem to be flustered" She questioned.

"Yeah, I guess so" I paused.

"I don't know. I really feel like our relationship is going too fast. Don't you think so?" I asked her in doubt.

"I don't really know how to answer that question.  It's up to you if it's too fast or too slow. It's about you being comfortable. So ask yourself, are you?" she asked me in return.

"I feel comfortable. I fact, I feel very safe with him. I feel like we were meant to be all along. But the fact that we have known each other only for a few weeks just makes things scarier. And you know me, I haven't dated a guy. So it really makes me question whether I chose the right guy?" I uttered in confusion.

My head was spinning with all the thoughts that are occurring to me.

"Listen, sis, there is nothing like the right guy or wrong guy. It just turns out just like that, they end up being the right fit as you get to know each other. When you fall in love, even the imperfections become perfect. It's about the two people in a relationship changing each other for the better. Being the best version of each other" she explained, making things a bit clear for me.

"So don't think too much. Go with the flow and live in the moment. I am there for you no matter what. I'll be right beside you to catch you if you fall down. That's what sisters are for. I am always there for you, whatever you decide. If you feel like this is too much, take a break. No one will question you. Is that clear?" she asked holding my hands in hers.

I quickly leapt forward and hugged her close.

This is why she was the best. She always knew what to say to calm my nerves. She took care of me ever since I knew her. She was like a sister and can be my mother if the need arises.

The ringing of the doorbell brought us out of the reverie. We broke away from the hug.

"Are you expecting someone?" I asked Abby.

"No, are you?" she asked me.

I shook my head no.

"I wonder who is it?" I wondered.

"I don't know. Let me see the door" Abby said and stood up.

She was still in her robes, so I stopped her.

"I'll see. You're still in your robes"

"It's okay. You rest" she walked to the door.

After a few seconds, I heard the surprised voice of Abby and another familiar one.

"Abby, is everything alright?" I asked out loud.

"Yes, and you have a visitor" I heard her voice.

She came back into the living, followed by an angry person, who was very familiar to me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked in frustration.

"Well, that's what I want to ask. What the hell are you doing here? You were supposed to be at the penthouse" he accused me.

"I wanted to clear my mind" I replied.

"You could have informed me without disappearing on me. I was going out of my mind when I found the stupid note of yours. Do you even know the things that could happen if he found out that you were out of the house?" he questioned.

"I know. I am sorry. But I really needed to breathe some fresh air"

"You could have told me, instead of going out on your own. Something could have happened to you. How could you be so careless?" he reprimanded me.

"Okay, that's enough. You don't get to scold her. You're not her dad"

"That's right. I am not. But there is a man who claims that she is his and he would turn the whole world upside down if something happens to her. Thank God that he didn't find out that she left the penthouse or he would kill us all. I somehow connected the dots and I knew the only place she could be was her apartment" he replied angrily.

He turned to me and said "I am relieved now that I found you" Cam sighed and plopped down beside me on the couch.

"I am sorry" I apologized.

"I didn't want any trouble" I spoke.

"I know. Don't be. Good that I found you in one piece or I would have hell to face" he complained.

"Don't be a baby. He is not that bad" I reasoned with him.

"Yeah maybe for you. Trust me, he is heartless when it comes to someone hurting his loved ones. He will literally kill anyone if someone dared to put you or his loved ones in danger. Trust me" he replied.

"Okay. I am sorry, next time I will let you know. You can take me" I convinced him.

"Promise?" he asked.

"Yeah. And Cam, let's not tell him about this shall  we?"

We both agreed not to let Caiden know about this impromptu trip of mine. I didn't want him to be angry at Cam for not keeping his eyes on me. I know he could be a bit harsh to others who are not me.

"Anyone needs a drink?" Abby asked, letting us know that she was also present in the room.

I simply laughed at her actions. Cam's eyes lit up in amusement at her action. I had a sly grin on my face. This was going to be fun. Time for me to play the tricks up my sleeves. I smirked at them, who was unknown to thoughts I had in my mind. They are going to thank me one day.
