Mafia Man's Bid

Chapter 32

Nathalia's P.O.V

I'm happy. That was the only thought running through my head as Liam chased me. I'm feeling happy again. But why does it feel so wrong? Every time I become happy there would always and always be something that would go wrong just so all things can be ruined.

It just makes me want to not feel happiness at all. It gives off a different attack on you when something makes you extremely happy then just leaves you off hurt, it destroys your joy and hope that you deserve to be happy at all, it just you know? Destroys you.

As I got off of my thoughts I found myself on top of Liam. He was staring right at me smiling. I can't help but stare right back at him. He started leaning in close and I couldn't help but to lean in closer too.

----

"WE'RE HOOOOOOMEEEE!!!!" 

I quickly got off of Liam and brushed myself. I can tell that he was also flustered from what happened.

"Hi! How's the wound?" Aliahna asked as she approached me.

"Hey uhmmm it's feeling better already." I answered.

"Well that is good to hear, the sooner you can recover the sooner we can bond together." She said as she looked at me intently.

I just smiled at her in response, still regaining my composure from what happened earlier.

"Are you feeling okay? You look a little flushed." Aliahna stated.

"What? I uhmm-"

"Hey bro? You look a little reddish too?" Grego stated grinning at Liam.

"You two okay?" Aliahna asked looking as she looked at me then at Liam.

"Did something happen while we weren't here huh?" Grego asked smirking at me.

"No-no, everything's fine and normal." I stated in an unsure tone not knowing if they'll believe it.

"Yeah everything's fine." Liam stated as he looked at me.

"Sure it is." Rocco said as he went closer to Liam and put his arm around Liam's neck.

"You do know that you both are too obvious." Rocco said grinning at the both of us.

"Anyways Aliahna and I thought how about we go to our cabin and spend our week there?" Grego suggested as he wrapped an arm on Aliahna's waist.

"Yeah I think that would be a great idea." Rocco agreed.

"How long has it been since we last visited those cabins? Two? Three years ago?" Aliahna asked.

"I can't remember too, all I know is that it's been a while." Grego stated.

"So what do you think Liam? Should we go?" Rocco asked.

Liam looked at me and I just nodded at him.

"Sure let's visit the cabin, I missed going there too. We have a lot of memories made there too." Liam answered smiling.

"Well then it's settled we'll be going to the cabins. Grego and I would go to the marketplace later to gather some groceries later. Do you want to join us Nathalia?" Aliahna asked smiling at me.

I just looked at Liam. He seemed displeased at what Aliahna said.

"I don't think that it is a good idea to expose Nathalia outside. It's only been moreover a week. We can't take the risk." Liam stated.

"I agree I don't think that it's a good idea, you do know that Alexander has a lot of spies outside." Grego said.

"I'm sorry you're right. I just don't want Nathalia thinking that we're keeping her like a prisoner in this house." Aliahna stated.

They all looked at me. I just stood there looking at Liam. I don't feel like a prisoner here though. I feel safe and happy here. It does feel home here. I feel like I belong.

"Not at all, You guys made me feel welcome since the day that I got here. I'm happy that I'm here with you guys and I am happy that you guys found me and took me in." I stated.

I felt that my eyes were tearing up I just looked down not wanting them to see me crying.

"Awwww come here." Aliahna said while she engulfed me in a hug.

"You're family now bella." Rocco stated as he joined in the hug.

"And we will always be here for you no matter what." Grego said as he also joined in the hug, hugging Aliahna, Rocco and I.

Liam just stood there and smiled at me as I looked at him.

"Okay that's enough you're suffocating her." Liam stated.

"No we're not you're just jealous we hugged her." Rocco answered sticking his tongue out at Liam.

I just can't help but laugh.

Liam grabbed a pillow angd threw it directly on Rocco's face hard enough to knock him down. Liam smirked as he saw Rocco on the floor.

"Bitch come here." Rocco said as he grabbed the pillow and went towards Liam.

Liam started to sprint away.

"Here we go again." Grego stated laughing.

"I always forget their age sometimes. They act all mature and tough when we're outside. Little do others know they act like children at home." Aliahna laughed and I couldn't help but smile as well.

I can't help but remember my memories with the twins back then. I wonder how Mason and Simon is now. I hope they're doing great. Are they looking for me? Maybe they gave up already. What will happen when I see them again. What will I say?

"Nathalia?" I snapped out of my thoughts.

"You okay?" Aliahna asked.

"Yeah, uhmm excuse me for a while I need to go to the bathroom." I stated as I tried to offer a smile to her.

"Sure go ahead." She answered.

I walked away and went to the bathroom. Soon as I enter the bathroom I started crying. I wasn't able to control my feelings.

Whether I deny it or not I truly miss them.

All of them.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

I immediately washed my face with water and left it drenching wet then I went for the door.

"Hey" Liam greeted.

"Hi? Do you need anything? Or do you need to go to the bathroom?" I asked.

"No no I was gonna ask you if you want to go to the mall with me?" Liam asked holding the back of his neck.

"I can?" I blurted out.

"Of course you can but you know we have to take preventive measures. You know like you have to wear a disguise or something. We can never be too prepared." He stated.

"Sure! I'd love to go." I answered happily.

Considering it's also been a while since I've been at the mall.

"I figured you need to buy your clothes as well. I mean there's nothing wrong with you getting clothes from Aliahna, but you know I figured that you might want to have some clothes of your own as well?"

"Awww thanks. I'd go prep up." I stated as I left.

I ran to my room and immediately opened my closet.

What can I wear to disguise myself.

Fully covered coat? Hat? Glasses?

Nah it might be too obvious that I'm hiding from someone.

Maybe something more common so that I could blend right in to the crowd.

I pulled out a hoodie and some leggings.
