Nobody to Somebody

Chapter 24

He is going to perform the surgery. "Really?" My tone had indecisiveness evident on my face. "I do not like seeing you cry." He said, looking away into distance. Will he actually save her? I get that he's a doctor, but is he really?

"You will save my sister?" Milo asked, looking at Matteo. His face evident of hope in them. "On one condition." Matteo turned to look at me.

"You will come back home as soon as I am done." He said, and I nodded. I didnt want to go back but I had to plus now I have an idea as to who might be trying to kill, although this might need a little further investigation.  "No! Why are you taking her away from me? She's not yours." Milo pulled me to his side, and for the first time ever, Matteo actually cared about what Milo was saying.

"Ragazzino. You love her?" He kneeled to his height. Milo nodded, and I smiled. I can't believe it only took a week for Milo and I to bond like this. I love him too. More than I ever could.

"When you love someone. You have to let them go. If you have a toy that you love. Don't you share it with your sister?" Matteo put hand on his shoulder. Okay hypocrite. You couldn't let me go but you tell a child to let me go.

"Yes. It's different with her. She's a princess." Milo whined and hugged me even tighter. I had to bend down a little to hug him back.

"No. She is not a princess. She is a queen." Matteo's eyes met mine, I stared longer than intended to. He called me a queen. Those words mean something to me and I could tell that they meant something to him.

"Okay. Please make her better than I promise I'll make Kyla better." Milo pleaded with his sweet voice. Matteo nodded and got up.

He walked to the room, and he told us to wait here. Now it is up to him.

"You wanna go out for some ice cream?" I looked at Milo, and he gave me a toothy grin.

*************************************
"Why is Matteo always angry?" Milo asked as we sat on the park bench under the shade of a tree.

"Sweetie, he's not angry. He is always grumpy." I chuckled as I licked my rocky road ice cream. The cookie goodness thats better than cookies and cream. On second thought cookies and cream is better.

"Why?" He giggled as I wiped ice cream off his upper lip.

"I don't know." I shrugged as I licked the ice cream like my life depended on it. I seriously do not know why he is always like this. He has this demeaning aura around him that he always had and apparently it was worse before I came in.

"Do you know what I noticed, though?" He asked as he turned to look at me. His index finger dug in my ice cream. I gave him a glare, and he gave me a cheeky smile.

"I notice that he doesn't look as grumpy when he looks at you." He said, and I blushed. I've also noticed that. Okay that's a lie. I'm as dense as water.

I saw Blake, and I waved him over here. He came to us. He was wearing black sweatpants and a black shirt with some green writing, 'Error 404'. Sweatpants looked good on him, black in general looked good on him.

"Sweats. On this scorching hot day?" I asked him incredulously. "Yeah." He replied as he took my ice cream. I don't know why I even bother anymore.

"I'm going back today. Apparently. The French Mafia leader managed to get into our mainframe, so we needed to fix the system." He said and threw the cup in the bin.

"Who is the leader?" I asked inquisitively.

"He goes by the name of Lucas." Blake said, looking at Milo with a skeptical eye. Milo waved and gave him his million dollar smile.
