(Contains some Strong Language) "What do you want from me?" He asks, suddenly chill again. "I want to make you happy, but I don't know how, goddamn it." His voice is thick with emotion by the end of the sentence but the words were quiet because, while I wasn't looking, he had joined me on the edge. His breath fanned my lips and my hands unconsciously gripped his black trench coat. I closed my eyes and breathed in, catching the unmistakable scent of his cologne. "All I ever wanted was an apology, Nicolas. Just an apology." I gave him one last chance to say something. But nothing came. Smiling I looked up at him, and released my hold on his coat. "Well, it's been real Mr. Mafia Man. Catch you on the flip side." And, ever so slightly tipping back, I let myself fall. -------- Evelyn Tomas is just a normal, if stupid, 20 something year old, with a mother who has no filter, and a oddly perceptive roommate who may or may not be involved in some slightly illegal activities. At least she was until she met Nicolas Lazovsky at a party one night after she *almost* got murdered. Nicolas Lazovsky, A.K.A. Mafia Man (or Gang Guy, depending on who you ask) is who saves Evelyn from *almost* getting murdered. And it's either the best, or worst decision of his life, also depending on who you ask.
