Mr.Mafia And His Run Away Queen

Soft spot

Elijah POV

I open my eyes and I'm met with my moms hazel brown eyes staring at me with a horrified expression on her face

"Elijah are you ok? Your sweating like crazy" she says rushing around my room, taking a white cloth, and runs into my bathroom soaking up the cloth with water

she squeezes the water out a bit and rushes towards me putting the piece of wet cloth on my forehead

"Yes mama I'm ok, just had a bad dream that's all," I say softly

I only have a soft spot for a few people in my life, one of them being my mom

She lets out a soft sigh "was it the dream again" she says taking a seat on the edge of the bed

I stay quiet and remove the cloth from my head "why didn't you tell me what Alejandro did to Vanessa " I say moving my body from the position that I was in, and sit up my back to the headboard of the bed

"We didn't want you to do anything that you would regret later Elijah," she says, her Italian accent appearing every word

I look at her and see she's looking at the clock on the stand, I turn to look at the clock and my eyes widen as I stand up from the bed

"Good job shit head now your late to the stupid meeting," my inner thought says

"I wanted you to rest my love your always working, and plus your dad has the meeting covered," my mom says practically reading my mind

I give her a small smile and kiss her cheek "thank you, mama"

She smiles and walks towards the door "also I heard you're attending the ball? are you really or are you messing with your father" she says arms crossed and her perfect shaped eyebrow rising up

"No mama I'm not messing with him, I'm attending," I say looking at her straight in the eye

"Also Vanessa we'll be there so dress to impress" and with that, she walks out closing my door

I walk back towards my closet and open one of the drawers, I carefully pick up a picture frame and smile "I'll see you soon my love, very soon"

~Vanessa's POV ~

"Yes yes papa a promise is a promise," I tell my dad through the phone that's resting On my left bra strap, ironic that there's a table right next to me but I still choose a risky place

"I'm just making sure you're not backing down or forget in that matter," he says and lets out a chuckle

"Papa you've been calling me bugging me about this all week, how can I forget," I say now getting up and walking downstairs towards the kitchen

"Mmmm" he hums in response not knowing what to say

"See no need to keep reminding me," I say a victorious smirk on my face as I take out a few ingredients setting down my phone on the kitchen table

I hear my father let out a soft sigh "I'm sorry Mija it's just We all miss you, especially your brothers" there's a pause before he begins to talk again "and we'll your mom...is being your mom"

"I know papa I miss you and the guys too, but hey just two more days," I say pouring a little bit of oil onto the pan and cracking an egg

"cierto (true), solo dos dias (just two days) my dad says repeating my words

I smile and realization finally hits me, I DONT HAVE A DRESS

"OMG," I say loudly

"Que esta mal Vanessa (what's wrong Vanessa)" I hear my dad say with a worried tone

"Oh sorry papa, I just realized I don't have a dress I need to go shopping," I say with a shy laugh

"Oh my god Vanessa don't ever do that, you almost gave me a heart attack," he says in a calmer voice

I see Justin walk in from the front door with a smile "Hey, what are you making" he says kicking his shoes off while sitting on the couch

"Well it was supposed to be eggs and toast but I think I may have burned it," I say lifting the pan from the stove and showing him his "new black pan"

He stares at the pan and starts laughing while clutching his stomach "Vanessa that pan was silver, you LITERALLY made it black" he says through fits of laughter

I roll my eyes and keep in my laughs, "I'll buy you a new one I promise"

"Vanessa" I hear my dads voice through the phone

"Oh yeah sorry papa," I say throwing what was a silver pan that's now black into the trash

"Daniel is asking for you to text him when you land so he can go and pick you up from the airport," he says

"Okay papa I'll text him on Friday," I say

"Ok great Mija I'll see you soon, I love you," he says

"Love you to dad," I say and hang up

Justin walks into the kitchen and opens the window "remind me to never let you cook again" he says sitting on the counter

"Hey it was a mistake I wasn't looking at it," I say with a pout

He just rolls his eyes and continues talking "so since that's balls this Friday, are you inviting me or am I gonna have to sneak in"

I let out a giggle "yes Justin you totally can sneak in with guards guarding the place"

"So that means I'm invited," he says with a smirk

"Yes Justin you're invited you can come with me," I say

"Took you long enough," he says jumping off the counter and engulfing me in a hug

I gladly hug him back and laugh "now we have to go shopping"

"Ooh yes, we haveeeee to have matching outfits, maybe black and red?" He says with a questioning look

"Yes we can do back and red, but we should get going we have only two days to get our outfits ready," I say in a serious tone

"Well we better get going," he says putting his shoes on and grabbing his car keys, "let's go, princess, we don't have all day," he says walking out

"I'm coming, I'm coming," I say following close behind him

A/n: yeah it's been a while 😀😀
