One Smile

23: Energizer Bunny on Crack

Sam POV

"Hi, I am Ally. I am Antonio's fiancé, oh my god you are so pretty-"

"Baby. Please. You are going to overwhelm her. Why don't you go downstairs and annoy Jake a little while," Antonio offers. 

"Sorry, Sam. It was wonderful meeting you. I am so excited to get to know you," she quickly rushes out of the room. 

"Sorry about her. She is high energy. And, she has been getting to know you the last 3 weeks through all your friends and family so she probably feels closer," Antonio explains. 

"It is fine. My best friend Nay and her girlfriend are like the energizer bunny on crack with a dash of Barbie. I am completely used to it," I chuckle. 

"I am just going to run some tests and check vitals and then you are free to get ready. Rob had some clothes brought for you in the closet. Now can you sit up so I can listen to your lungs? Cough for me." 

"Good, now can you raise your hands above your head. Cough again." 

********

After getting checked over and showering I head to the closet to look at the clothes. I almost shit my pants when I see all the fancy clothing in there. I could never afford any of this. I almost feel like I can't wear this. I get dressed in stretchy mom jeans with the softest v-neck I have ever worn. I tie a not in front of my shirt and leave my hair to air dry before heading downstairs. 

"I can't believe you punched me in the face you wanker. Your anger issues are- SAM SUGAR PLUM, MY LOVE," Ben rushes to me and throws me into a bone-crushing hug. "You dramatic person. 3 weeks. You deprived me and made me deal with his mood swings for 3-" 

"That hug is long enough," I am pulled back into Jake's arms. He looks down at me, smiles, and pecks me on the lips. 

"OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD. DO IT AGAIN." Ben yells. 

"Hi Ben, good to see you One Direction." He throws a Twix bar at me that hits me in the face yelling about how he will only share with his love. 

"Ben, be careful before I kick-" Jake starts. 

I pull him down for a kiss before he beats up Ben, Ben's black eye did not go unnoticed. "We will talk about his black eye later," I whisper against his lips. 

"I don't know what you are talking about my queen. Your breakfast is ready," he quickly pulls me to the pile of food on the counter, effectively distracting me. 

"God Sam. You are not allowed to almost die again. Seriously, this boy was so moody. It was like he was in a sad music video, but with way more violence. I am sure coach would have benched him if he wasn't already benched. All he did was talk about you, visit you-" SMACK. 

"Jake. Hit him again and I will ignore you for the rest of the day," I threaten. Jake pulls me into his lap and kisses my neck. 

"I am sorry, he just asks for the hits. His annoying accent doesn't help," Jake argues. 

"Hey, my accent is sexy thank you very much. Isn't that right Sam? You are the one who wanted to lick my tattoos," Ben wiggles his eyebrows. This time I smack him. "Hey, I thought you said no more smacks," Ben whines about how he is unloved. 

"Stop provoking him before I let him kick your ass," I threaten. 

"Let him. I like this girl," Ally adds before shoveling eggs in her mouth. 

"We have to go to school and I am returning to practice tonight. I will be here after practice though. We can spend the entire weekend watching Brooklyn Nine-" 

Ben starts gagging and makes whip noises. "You are disgustingly cute. Let's go before I get diabetes from you bellends," Ben kisses me on the head ignoring Jake's threatening stare before leaving out the door. 

"Bye. Text me if you need anything. I got you a new phone and transferred all your data from the cloud, with the help of my dad of course." Jake kisses me on the lips and heads out. 

"You two are so cute. How long have you been together? So cute," Ally shoves more food in her mouth. I like her, she has a positive vibe. 

"About 7 hours," I shrug. 

"What," she starts choking on her orange juice. 

"We had our first kiss last night, and he told me I was his girlfriend then," I say nonchalantly. Even though I'm squealing on the insides. 

"Sounds like a typical Italian man. They are so slow to claim but when they do, you have no choice. Antonio took a year to ask me out. I had to go out with this beautiful man named Ivan-" 

"Say one more word about that cursed Russian and I will take you upstairs so that you can't walk for a week," Antonio huffs. 

"Woah, I am only 17. My virgin ears can't take that. I mean reading it is one thing," I joke. 

"I forget how young you all are. You seem so much older," Ally adds. 

"How old are you both? You seem young to be a doctor."

"I am 22 and she is 21. We've been together for 2 years, I graduated early and quickly learned because of my families connections" Antonio leaves and explains he has to return to the Rossi household.

We exchange stories and connect quickly, she tells me about growing up in an orphanage and how the Rossi's are her only family. Maids clear the table and we are still talking 3 hours later.

"I will tell you all about me and Jake if you tell me all about the Famiglia Della Morte," I wager with Ally. 

"I mean that could get me killed. But, I really want to know about you and Jake. Honestly, he will probably end up being second in command anyway so why not," she shrugs. "You first though." 

So I tell her everything from the beginning. She is shocked by how many times we have slept together and not kissed or "buttered each others biscuits" as she said. She said she will censor herself until my birthday next week. I told her that's fucking stupid. 

"Your turn Ally." 

"Well. The Famiglia Della Morte consists of 2 major families and then has smaller members on the side. The main families being your and my boo's. They do all the typical mafia stuff but minus the human trafficking and honestly probably with more killing. The Don, my future father in law is one scary silver fox. But, he values family above all. He already considers Jake family and has been pressuring Rob to introduce him to the rest of the family. Angelo and Angie are the heads of the family. Their older son Angelo is getting ready to take over the family business. They have 7 kids.

Angelo Jr. wants to change things. He wants to break up the two head families and form an alliance. Essentially making Jake, if he chooses, a future Don. He thinks it will be a power move to have them working together as two head men. I have a big mouth, I am expecting you to be better than me and keep this to yourself." 

"I don't know if I can keep this from Jake," I tell her honestly. 

"Fine. Just don't get me shot please, my wedding is so close. Right now there is peace. But, there have been issues with the Mexican cartels and the Russian Mafia. Add in the fact that the Jamaican cartels are feuding with the Mexican cartels it is clear that there is trouble in the future. I think splitting the families is a good idea. To outsiders, it will make the family seem weak. When honestly it will make them stronger." 

"Wow. This is so interesting." 

"Sam, sweetheart I am so glad you are awake!"
