Unexpected love

Goody Goody

Leo

Life has been perfect lately. Me and Jess are getting along amazingly, business is well and things are good.

Don requested a meeting with me and only me today at 5:00. Jess is pretty mad.

"Why does he just want you!"

"I don't know Jess, calm down ok." I attempted to calm the transparent frustration in her.

"Calm down! Leo how am I supposed to calm down!! What if he wants you to get a new partner and she's way prettier than me and you fall in love with me and leave me!" She paced.

"Jess. No women could ever be prettier than you and I've only got my eye on you. Stop doubting yourself. I would never leave you!" I walked over to her.

"Why doesn't my own uncle want me there. Your my partner and he's my boss!" Her first was clenched.

I stepped closer and wrapped her fuming body in a hug. I never really hugged, but I'm starting to do it more now that I'm with Jess.

It's scary.

"It will be fine, it's probably about financials." I assured her as I brushed her hair with my fingers.

She took a deep breath in and out.

"I know..it's just the thought of you falling for someone else or you leaving m-" I cut her off.

"Jessie, I made you a promise. I refuse to hurt you in anyway or let another human hurt you."

"I would take a bullet for you Leo. I don't want to lose you."

"You won't ever lose me." I spoke calmly as her breathing steadied and I continued holding her in my arms.

~~~

"Your going to Russia." Don evened out his papers by tapping them on his desk top.

"Ok, I'll tell Jessie to get packed." I began getting up to leave.

"No. It's just you going Leo. Not with Jessie. Just you and a couple of my men."

"Oh. How long?" I asked him.

"A month."

"Don no! I have..other business here." I tapped on the desk.

"I'll have Jess take over that stuff for you. Everything is taken care of."

Damn it. I can't leave Jessie for a month. I can barely go one night with out her by my side let alone a month.

She really is taking a toll on me. My entire life has been dedicated to Mafia, now my entire life is dedicated to her.

Though maybe a break would be good. Maybe I won't be so goody goody anymore.

I took a long sigh.

"When do we leave?"

~~~

She's going to kill me for accepting, although I didn't really have a choice.

I slowly approach my bedroom door, I opened it with hesitation.

Dear god I hope she's asleep.

Nope she's wide a fucking wake.

"What was the meeting about?" She quickly closed the notebook she was writing in and looked at me.
