Untamed (A mafia story)

Chapter 53

Cora

What the hell was I thinking?
Okay I do know what I was thinking, I was trying not to blow my cover, but what the hell was I thinking?

I fucking kissed Dimitri
Oh God, thinking about it now only makes it even worse
He was right, I should have just waited for him in the car

Now everything is awkward between us, more than it used to be when he just got here.
The car drive has been silent, we got new information, helpful one but neither of us has said anything since then.

The air is tense, I can't even look at him right now, without having flashbacks of what happened.
Why do I make stupid decisions when I'm nervous?

It's pretty late before we left the club, at least we got something from tailing Enzo
And the kiss wasn't entirely wasted.

The car suddenly stops at the usual spot I get off before going inside, I quickly undo my seatbelt and I don't turn to look at him.

"I'll see you tomorrow" I mutter before rushing out and almost rushing to the mansion, I don't want him to stop me

I don't want to talk about it
I'm shit nervous as it is.

I rush inside and upstairs, thank God no one stopped me, I quickly get into my room and lock the door before releasing a breath I didn't know I was holding.

Letting my back slide down the door, I let my fingers brush against my lips, the same lips I had pressed to Dimitri's a few hours ago.

I don't even know how to explain how I feel, or how it felt to have kissed him.
I mean with Ivan, I could kind of understand how I felt, I liked Ivan, no I mean I like Ivan.
Dimitri I'm not so sure.

But I do know I don't feel as bad as I thought I would after kissing him.
I shouldn't even feel good at all, this is someone that did some horrible things to me

Even though he's trying to apologise, it still doesn't excuse all the things he did to me.
Working with him, I've tried to put it behind me, but sometimes they just come back, most of them.

__________________________________________

The very next day, I was up and over at Dimitri's place.
I don't even know why I'm here this early, I should be avoiding him and not running around his house.

"So now we know Enzo's plan, what are we going to do"? I ask the question that's been on my mind all night

"I dunno" he mumbled staring at space, shocking me, I quickly look at him

"Wow" I whisper out "I never thought I'd hear you say that, the Al mighty Dimitri has no idea what to do" I say, I don't mean to mock him but I expected more from someone as feared and ruthless

He doesn't say anything
"Don't you think you're becoming soft? Why don't you just bring your men here and I'm pretty sure in less than 2 days you'd have Ivan out" I ask him and he just sighs out

"It's not that easy" he says making me scoff
"I don't want to shed blood if it's not necessary" he adds almost making me laugh.

"Since when do you care about people getting hurt"? I sass, he just gives me a pointed look.

"Just go home Cora, I'll figure something out by the end of the day" I didn't argue with him, not because I was listening to him but because I had another plan in mind, and plus I know he's just avoiding me because of the kiss

Personally I don't even want him to bring it up, so I just leave.
But I still have his words in my mind, he said he didn't want to shed blood if it's not necessary.

It made me remember something Ivan once told me, when I was with them.
He said Dimitri wasn't always heartless, I'm beginning to think that is true

Because he could just have easily raided Enzo's mansion from day one he got here and Ivan would already have been found, but he didn't.

If he did, a lot of people would have died, maybe I would have died, or Cara or even Enzo.
But instead he chose to waste this much time.

He's not afraid of dying, and neither is he afraid of Enzo's men.
Infact I don't think Dimitri is afraid of anything.

I don't know what I'm doing, or why I'm doing it but currently I'm in Enzo's office and I'm going through his stuff because he's not home, well not technically.

I've looked at all the papers on his table and there's nothing that is telling me how to get Ivan's current location.

I'm not going to rely on what we found at the club, it might just be another dead end.
I need to find something more

I open the top drawer on his desk and there are a lot of files, I don't even know what I'm looking for but my mind is divided into two, I'm watching the door and still trying to look through these files.

I'm about to close it when a particular file catches my eyes, it's different, not brown like the others but completely black

I pull it out and open it up, the first page holds a passport photograph, I read through and i realize it's a file on Fabio, Enzo's dad.

Why does he need a file on his father?
I keep opening until I get to a page that has a tiny USB in it, I could have missed it if I didn't look closer

I pick it up and examine it, Enzo's laptop is here but I don't know the password, and plus I can hear footsteps coming from the hallway, I need to get out of here asap

I put the file back in drawer and close it, I arrange everything the way I found it before rushing out of the study and into my room.

I sit on the bed and look at the USB
Yep, I stole it, I need to know what's in it, if it has anything to do with Vera, or Dimitri.

______________________________________

I can't stop thinking about it
Well lately I can't stop thinking about a lot of things, one of them being the dark haired, green eyed man sitting across from me

I don't think he notices I've been staring at him all day.
I didn't think that harmless kiss would mess with my head this much, but it is

Another thing on my mind is why Enzo has a file on his father.
I gently reach into the pocket of my jacket and I touch the cold little thing there, I want to see what's on it but I don't have a laptop to, the only other person I can ask is sitting right in front of me, and I don't think it's such a good idea to tell him I need his laptop to possibly watch or read something about his sworn enemy.

"You know I'm usually the one that does the staring" his voice breaks into my thought

"Huh"? I mutter and he looks up at me

"You've been staring at me since you got here, I'm usually the one that stares" he adds making me blush, I don't even know why I'm blushing, maybe it's because this will be the first time I'd be staring into those eyes after kissing him.

"So do you mind telling me why you're staring"? He asks

"Uh nothing, nothing I was just thinking" I mutter looking away from him

"About"?

I look at him, should I ask?
Maybe I shouldn't, but I'm curious and he's the only one who I can ask.

"Why did he do it"? I mutter out

"Why did who do what"?

"Why did Fabio take Vera"?

Okay

It's been a minute here guyyyss
I kind of have a very bad writer's block, or maybe I'm just lazy to write 😩😩

But here you go
