Lily Carson has found herself a new job. Little does she know that it could possibly change her life for the better.
Carlos Malenkov is a mafia leader. He's ruthless until he lays eyes on the most angelic girl he's ever met. He wants her and he must...
I know I'm not suppose to be walking around a lot. The shot that aimed at my leg is still hurting a bit. I have crutches to help me walk around. My artery is somewhat better but is still in a bit of pain. The doctor told me that my wounds are healing slowly which I guess is kind good.
It has been about 2 weeks since the incident and everyone around me has been treating me like a child. Carlos and I haven't been sexually active it frustrates me whenever I see him shirtless, or whenever we shower together.
I felt a lot better today so I decided to go down to the kitchen. Carlos would kill me if he saw me walking around when I'm supposed to be resting.
I can't help it, I'm bored as hell.
I open the door to the kitchen and see Madi and Jules baking.
"Hi girls," I say, Madi helping me take a seat on the stool.
"Wanna help us bake?" Jules asks.
"What are you guys making?" I ask.
"Beignets. but it might turn out bad," Madi says and I laugh.
I try to hop off the stool and the girls gasp. I look at them confused.
"What do you think you're doing missy?" Jules says walking over to me, "You can't walk around Lily, and it's not funny," She says sounding like my mom.
"It's been 2 weeks Jules, I should be fine," I sigh sitting back on the stool.
"You know Carlos would not be too happy if he found out you're not resting," Madi sings.
"He won't find out," I say. "Find out what?" A deep voice says from behind me. I see the girls freeze. I already know who's behind me without looking who's behind me.
I sigh," Yes?" I ask him turning in my seat.
"Lily, you're supposed to be resting," He says trying to stay calm.
"But I don't want to, plus I feel better," I say trying to lift my leg to show him.
"I'm taking you upstairs to bed where you rest," He says. He scoops me up in his arms before I could even protest.
"Hey hey! Put me down. Girls help me!" I shout. I see them laughing in the back. I sigh and look up at Carlos who has a grin on his face. Great.
"How rude of you," I say and start hitting his chest.
"If you keep that up amore, I promise you that you wouldn't be able to walk for more days," He says smirking down at me.
I stop instantly and a blush rushes up to my cheeks. He opens our bedroom door and settles me in softly. He puffs the pillows up and brings the blanket over me. He proceeds to take out my socks and make sure I am in a relaxed position.
Carlos POV
I settle my sweet angel in bed. I see her eyes flutter close trying to stay awake. I lie down next to her and she rests her head on my chest. My arms instantly wrap around her.
I wait till her breathing evens out before I quietly get up and walk out the door closing it behind me not before I give her a kiss on her forehead.

Lily's POV
It has been exactly 1 month since I got shot. Carlos and I went to visit the doctor the other day and he said I was all good to go. Though I might some exercise from the lack muscle I have.
Over the past weeks of me healing I haven't been active at all. Now I'm all skin and bones. Carlos still hasn't found the guy who shot me yet and when I ask about him he shrugs it off. I'm not going to keep pushing him into telling me.
I now walk around without crutches but the people around me still seem to be high on guard whenever I walk up the stairs or walk down anything steep.
Today, Carlos is taking me out to dinner tonight and I am so excited. I am currently in my room with Madi and Jules helping me get ready for tonight.

It's not much. He said I shouldn't try to impress him because I always look good in everything that I wear.
We finish and walk outside my bedroom door. I walk down the stairs to see Carlos waiting for me. He looks so handsome. A smile spread across his face when he sees me. I love that I have the effect on him.
"You look gorgeous amore," he says taking my hand and brings it up to his lips to kiss it softly. I blush at the action.
"Thank you, and you look handsome," I say kissing his cheek.
"Ready?" He asks me. I nod my head and loop my arm around his.
"We'll be back before 12!" Carlos shouts to the others.
"Don't jump her bones in public!" Chase replies back and we all laugh.
He leads me to a fancy looking car and opens the door for me. I slide in and he walks around to the driver's side and slides in. He places his hand on my thigh and starts the car. Soon, we are on our way to the restaurant. Today is just going to be a peaceful night.
