The Mafia Games|✔️

9. The good guys

“Get your ass up meeting five minutes in the kitchen” I was awoken by Leo poking his head in my room door. I just mumbled an ‘mhm’ in response and slimed my way out of bed.

I brushed my teeth and got dressed in jeans and a thin-strapped tank top with a light sweater, deciding to let my wound heal I took off the bandage and walked downstairs to the kitchen.

There was breakfast on the counter where the boys were sitting I walked across from them and stood there till Enzo raised his head looking at me over my shoulder.

“So how you feeling?” he asked that caused Gino’s head to raise and look at him with a confused face.

“Don’t tell you already slept with him?” he laughed while eating his pancakes. Then his eyes travel to my shoulder and his eyes widened and he dropped his fork and ran around the counter and examining the wound.

“What the hell happened? Did he do this to you?” he rushed over to Enzo and grabbed him by the shoulder and lifted him by the collar till Enzo pulled a gun out of his waistband and pointed it at Gino’s gut.

“You and I both know I would never lay a hand on her and I am your boss so if I were you I’d highly advise you to put me down before I shoot you.” Gino dropped him and put up his hands in surrender and walked back over to me and jumping on the counter.

“Well,” I explained what happened last night and how I probably won’t be able to go to work for a few weeks once I leave tomorrow since my work is done.

“Excuse me you aren’t leaving, you are still healing and last night that man came here for you and you had all of us here for you to come to just imagine what would happen if you were alone in your apartment. You’re staying with us and you’re totally wrong we aren’t even close to being done with you,” Enzo said as he ate his pancakes as he didn’t just forbid me to go home.

“Ugh” I stormed up to my room not wanting to deal with them. Who do they think they are to forbid me to not go home? They are the mafia that’s who. I laughed at my thoughts as they argued but was interrupted by a knock at the door.

“Enzo go away I don’t want to talk to you” to snapped at the door. But Leo pocked his head in the door. He came in and sat next to me on the bed with an apologetic smile on his face. That was the first time I have ever seen him smile.

“Listen he only wants the best for you. I know he acts as he doesn’t care about your wellbeing but who patched you up last night? It was him and he always does that no matter what happens he just wants you to be happy. It’s just his thing he puts others’ happiness above his own. When I was in high school I had this girlfriend and one day she dumped me and I was broken about it, I really liked her. Enzo heard about it and he found out that she was cheating on me the whole time we were together and he found the guy she was sleeping with and….Well, he killed him but that’s not the point. The point is that as long as the people around him are happy he is too, he might not show it but he is. I know you don’t like it here but it’s for your own good and if you want to be safe you have to learn that this place is the best place for you.”

As he ranted on I realized that Enzo wasn’t the bad man I had made him out to be. Sure he made me quit my job and move but he was the one to help me last night and if it wasn’t for him I could have bled out.

“I understand what your trying to say thanks for this I guess I really needed it” and I leaned in for a hug although it was stiff it was still a hug. It seemed like he really needed it because after a few seconds he loosened up and hugged me back.

After what seemed like a well-needed hug he left me in my room overthinking all that I had done in the last few days. I really acted like it was all his fault I ended up here, but it wasn’t his fault it was mine. Like they say one thing leads to another. And I overthinking lead me to Enzo’s study door. I knocked not know what would happen next.

Just like last time I was meet with a quiet yet stern ‘come in’ I followed as commanded and sat down in the chair across from his desk. He didn’t look up from his computer, it was like he was ignoring me. I don’t know what I did to deserve this but-

“What do you want?” he commanded in that dark deep voice.

“Well, I came to apologize you didn’t do anything wrong. I got myself in this place and whatever has happened so far is my fault if I die I just want you to know it’s not your fault.” with that I got up from my char and headed for the door. As my hand reached the doorknob I was flipped and caged between the wall and him.

“You are not going to die okay? I won’t let anyone lay a hand on you. You might not believe it but I care too much for the people around me to let them die. Got it?” he whispered in my ear as he pampered kissed down my neck. I nodded but my heart got the best of me and I turned my head and lifted my hand and placed it on his cheek turning him to me and I placed my lips on his.

He pulled back “Se non ti fermi adesso, non credo di potermi trattenere.” he mumbled in Italian and then came back to me but this time with his tongue in full force.

(If you don’t stop now I don’t think I can hold back.)
