"What's going on Maverick?" she asked through gloss covered eyes. I huffed. I hated the position I was in. I would have to force her to take the oath of Omertà because that's the only way I'd be able to tell her everything. "You are sworn by Omertà not to tell anybody anything I'm about to tell you." "And if I do?" I fell silent as I tried to think of a euphemism. "You and whoever you told will face...dire consequences." I visibly saw her gulp before she nodded her head. I took a deep breath and exhaled in an attempt to calm my rapidly beating heart which was little to no help. It's now or never. "My family is apart of the mafia-" I was cut off by her laughter. She was laughing quite hysterically. I thought I had finally pushed her over the edge. "Tesoro-" "I'm sorry! I just thought you said the funniest thing! I could've sworn you said mafia," she said before she met my eyes. Her smile fell as she searched my face for any sign of deception. I nervously scratched the back of my head as she processed this new information. "You're not kidding," she more so stated than asked. I shook my head as she looked away deep in thought. She bit her lip and started fiddling with her fingers--things she does when she's anxious. I grabbed her hands making her stiffen. I forced the image of Alayah looking panicked due to my touch out of my head and continued to hold her hands. I proceeded to tell her everything. _________________________________ Highest Rankings 🔅 #1 in bwwn (1/26/2021) 🔅 #1 in bgwb (12/26/2020) 🔅 #5 in smoke (1/28/2021) I don't own any of the photos or media used in the book.
