Zara's pov
It's Christmas soon, Enzo and I decided we should go Christmas shopping for Mia and some last-minute things
So we're at the store right now and having our first ever sort of fight...
"But that's such a stupid gift Enzo" I say to him
"It's not she needs to learn" he rolls his eyes
"ARE U CRAZY, She's 5 years old" I say rolling my eyes
"That doesn't matter she needs to start learning now" He exclaims
"You're actually going to buy a CHILD a WEAPON" I say freaking out
"YES, Do you know how many insane people are out there? She needs to learn from a young age to protect herself" he says in a 'duh' tone
"Enz..." I sigh "I understand you worried but she's 5 years old, She doesn't even know how to tie her shoes...how do you expect her to use a damn taser, pepper spray, pocket knife, and shit, Like I don't even know how to use this shit" I exclaim
"Whatever she's your child Enzo but from the point of view of a woman I think it's absolutely stupid to teach her this shit right now, plus your acting like I'm not always with her" I say
He just huffs a 'whatever'
"Ya whatever is right, I'm going to the toy section in target buh bye have fun with your freaking weapons and shit" I roll my eyes walking away from him
Enzo's pov
"Merda" I mumbled under my breath (shit)
Zara and I have never fought in any way
And yes I might be insane for introducing this shit to a 5-year-old but my parents taught me at age 6 and I can't exactly say "oh ya my father trained me to be in the mafia since I was 6 so I know the shitty people that are out there, and I want to protect my daughter from them" so, of course, she got mad which is understandable
But she's my damn child and my responsibility
And I don't know what the hell I would do if something was to happen to her
I hated how it felt to fight with Zara
It left a bad taste in my mouth watching her walk away, it made me think what would she do when she found out that I am in the mafia
The exact place and people who can bring harm to Mia
Shitting hell
Ava and Matteo were Right I am damn whipped for Zara
I couldn't stay mad at her for more than 4 minutes
I make my way to the target located in this mall complex
I see Zara in the toy section looking at Barbie's and shit
I come up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist
She immediately tenses "I'm sorry"I whisper in her ear
She realizes it's me and immediately relaxes
"I just worry for Mia, she's my daughter and it's my job to keep her safe and I know bad people can hurt her" I sigh
I rest my chin on her shoulder
She takes a deep breath and then speaks " I understand you're worried for her I am too and she's not even mine, but she's a child Enzo the only thing she should be worried about is what outfit to put on her barbie and what she wants for dinner" she says shaky breath
