Mafia's Madam

Seven

"Maybe the blue one?"I asked unsurely

"Ugh! I don't know, I like all of them, I can't decide!"Donna, one of the girls exclaimed throwing her hands in the air in frustration

Why she asked me to help her decide? I had no idea! I'm probably the worst choice of a fashion helper around here

Suddenly Dom poked his head trough the door and looked at me " Here you are, I've been looking everywhere for you. The meeting is starting soon"

I nodded my head and he made a move to leave the room but was stopped "Wait Dom!" Donna exclaimed

He came back in the room looking at her expressionless

"Which one looks better?" She asked putting a few different dresses up to her body for him to help her decide

Dom put his thinking face on and moved towards her, he looked at all of them one by one as if knowing what exactly he was doing

"I think the green one, it compliments your eye colour" he says without blinking

Donna turns around to look at herself trough the mirror " You're right! Thanks Dom!" She exclaims giving him a big hug while I just stand there shocked taking the whole scene in. What just happened?

Dom and I make our way trough the dimly lit corridors towards what I assume to be Agostino's office all the while staring at Don in shock

He however not once turned towards me to see my staring which is why I was surprised when he said " What?"

"Nothing, just wondering are you some secret agent that escaped a fashion school and then one morning decided to be a part of the mafia?" I said my thoughts out loud

He chuckled lightly " Yes, that's exactly what happened"He said looking at me and we both burst out laughing

We were finally next to Agostino's office, Don motioned for me to go in with both of us still not completely over our out burst and tears in our eyes

Opening the door I was expecting an empty office or just a few people inside but as we make our way inside about twenty heads turn around to look at us and none of them look too friendly

With the head in the middle facing us looking the most unfriendly

Both of us immediately lost our smiles

Agostino glares at both of us and I feel like a big part of it is that he heard us laugh outside his door

He motions towards two empty chairs with his head where I quickly made my way to with Dom not far behind me

I barely got to sit down crossing my legs one over the other to look somewhat like a lady when Agostino speaks up

"As most of you have heard we have an addition to our family"I hear some "yes" grunts and head nods in response

"This is Diana, she is in charge of the girls and I hope all of you will get along" As he finishes all twenty heads turn towards me and assess me from head to toe, some eyes lingering a bit too long on some parts of my body that Im not comfortable with. Sucks being the only female here

As everybody stopped looking at me and turned back towards Agostino I felt a huge relief circle trough me

"Anyway thank you all for coming today, you may be dismissed"Agostino said and everybody immediately stood up and rushed out the door

What? I thought it just started

Confused I stand up and make my way towards the door but before I can make it out a familiar voice stops me " Diana and Dominic stay" I stop in my tracks and see Dom's back in front of me tense

We both turn around with my careless expression and Dom's guilty one. I look at him humorously but shake my head to concentrate on what is happening

Agostino waits for everybody to leave and close the door only then he starts talking "Why were you guys late?"

Well I would answer you if I knew.

"I'm sorry Agostino it was my fault, I lost track of time"Dom quickly said in a robotic voice

Agostino furrowed his eyebrows together " That's not really like you"he gave me an accusing look

I roll my eyes " Oh please, of course everything had to be my fault"I say sarcastically

"Hey let's just forget this, I'm sure you can forgive us, you know... considering it's a first time" I said unsurely at the end

They both looked at me Dom with shock that I even dared to suggest for Agostino to do something

Agostino however looked at me thoughtfully for a bit not saying anything and then finally broke the silence

"Alright I will forgive you because it's your first time but also "he gave us a pointed look "And also because I need you to do something for me" he said looking straight at me

Of course there's always a trick to everything,I learned that a long time ago

"Dom you can go"Agostino said dismissively

Dom gave me a quick glance and left after I gave him a light nod

When it was only the two of us left in the room he pulled a brown folder out of his drawer and I got a sense of de ja vu from my first time in this office

He extended his hand with the folder inside of it towards me

I made my way to grab it "I need to attend a formal party in two days, which is also a mission and I would appreciate if you would join me" Agostino said with a straight face

"What's the mission?"I asked

"It's nothing that concerns you"he said disinterested

I dropped the folder on the table and crossed my arms "I'm pretty sure that a mafia mission concerns me considering I'm also supposed to be there, God knows doing what and I would highly
appreciate if I had at least some idea what I'm getting myself into"

He lifted his head from studying some papers on his table and looked at me
"Fair enough. Delirio O'Branté is someone who will also be there, we need to get information out of him about certain enemies of ours. Nothing dangerous, you will just accompany me"

"Well if it's not dangerous why can't you take another girl with you?"I ask not too excited about this idea

"Because if something actually does go wrong they won't be able to take care of themselves but knowing your history you will be just fine"he finished with the same straight face once again

"Fine" I grabbed the folder back up and it made a whiff of air that, smelled wonderful, to fly into my face

Skimming trough some pages in the folder and barely reading anything I argue with myself whether or not say my thoughts out loud and I decided to be my straight forward self

"You smell nice"I said still looking down at the folder

At the corner of my eye I see Agostino look at me with confusion and shock written on his face "What?"

I looked up at him " I said your perfume smells good or do you not understand English? I'm sorry I don't know how to say it in Italian"

I thought he would say something but he stayed quiet "You're welcome"I said and he still stayed quiet probably still shocked that someone would tell him such a dumb compliment. God, I feel so stupid

"You know dressing up and stuff isn't really my thing" I said changing the subject

"Well..make it your thing then. It's just one night anyway"he said grabbing the folder out of my hand

"And where am I supposed to get appropriate clothes for this event?"I asked cocking an eyebrow

"I don't know just ask the girls to help you out"he said waving a hand making it known that I'm free to go

And that's what I do, after this conversation I leave the office with one mission on my mind

And that is...to get some food in my system
