His Donna

CHAPTER 8

Rachel's POV

Still in shock I waited for Gio to come back and tell me this is all a lie even though deep down I knew those girls didn't lie to me.

My thoughts were interrupted by my ringing phone, taking it out of my handbag I saw Maria's name flashing on the screen. Fuck! I can't believe I forgot to call her... again!

I'm so dead.

Crossing my fingers I answered "Hey Maria I'm sorr.."
"I didn't know you were the type to abandon your friends the second you get regular dick" she said sounding fake mad at me.
"Where did you get that? " I asked rolling my eyes at what she said, Sarah can't keep her mouth shut.
"A little bird told me " she replied I'm sure  looking at her fingernails while saying that.
"Wait let me guess, Sarah is the bird" I said laughing a little at her failed attempt of sounding mysterious.
"Well yeah, somebody had to " she said sounding offended  and that instantly made me feel guilty.
"Ria it's not like that I promise you, I was going to call but Gio happened" I said trying to reason with her.
"Ow he has a name" she said sounding suprised, what the heck of course he has a name, Maria can be dramatic sometimes.
"Duh of course he has a name" I replied rolling my eyes at her.
"Anyway I miss you let's meet up, where are you" she asked changing the subject.
"I'm currently at Gio's" I replied already dreading her reaction to that.
"What!! you went back for round 9?, I have got to meet this guy he is changing your uptight little ass" she said laughing, great I forgot how unpredictable she can be, before I could reply she added
"I'm starting to like this guy tell me more about him in fact cross that, tell me everything that happened after I left " she said in excitement.

I told her everything that happened between Gio and I on Friday, told her how he barged into my house bloody as fuck last night and finally saved the best for the last,
I told her about Gio being in the fucking Mafia,this one is still a shock to me.

"Wait so let me get this straight, you guys didn't fuck, he is an asshole and more importantly he is in the fucking Mafia" she asked sounding surprised.
"Yes you got that right " I replied confirming her thoughts.
"Then why the fuck are you still there?" she asked clearly  confused.
"What?" I asked not understanding where she is getting at.
"Why are you still there? I mean you didn't fuck him which is good because now you know his darkest secret and this isn't some high school gang type of shit, it's a fucking Mafia Rachel, being seen with him could potentially put you in  danger in fact being in his life practically puts you in danger so I just don't get why you are not saving yourself when you still have the chance" she elaborated sounding confused and concerned.
"I don't know I just didn't think of it that way" I replied deep in thoughts, I mean I do  want to save myself and ensure my safety but at the same time I want to see where this is going.

"Well I have known you since Kindergarten and I know how easily attached you get so I'll suggest you ditch this guy now before it gets ugly and the fact that he pulled you by your hair is a big ass red flag " she said sounding frustrated.
"Don't get me wrong I'm happy you finally pulled  but he is not the guy you want around you " she added softly.

" I haven't confronted him about the Mafia thing and he did ask me to keep an open mind before we got here and he also said something about explaining everything to me" I told her conflicted on whether I should keep my promise to Gio or run for the hills, Maria just made me realize how real this is and how I am practically putting my self in harms way.
"Please just be careful Rachel not everyone deserves a chance" she said using my words against me.

Trying to change the subject "Anything interesting happened at the charity event" I asked.
"Did you meet any cute guys" I added the last part with a playful laugh.
"Oh my God I can't believe I forgot to tell you about this, the event was a disaster, I was hangoverd, late and my makeup looked horrible because I didn't feel like doing it that morning, I will send you the pictures in a few, my God I looked hideous, my parents are still mad at me especially my mom " she said laughing, I couldn't help but join her, I'm not surprised, I don't even know why her parents keep on forcing her to do all this shit.
