THE MAFIA'S PRINCESS

Chapter 4

Avatia's POV

I got home to find a note on the refrigerator. Mom's not home. Draya's still at work so I call Kenny. It rings for about 9 seconds before I hear his cute voice on the other end.

"Baby? You missing pretty Kenny already? "

I know he's all smiles so I don't roll me eyes. There's NO ONE like Draya and Kenny. They're my best friends. "Dream on Ken, anyways, do you have something doing? You could come over, I'm home alone." I fight the urge to sniff as I remember the reason I'm home. I just lost my job.

"You're at home? Aren't you supposed to be working or stuff like that?" He ask and I just can't hide my feelings so I start crying. "Hey munchkin, don't cry. I'm on my way, okay? Just hold on, I know what's going to make my baby sister happy. I'll be there in a bit." And he hangs up.

He cares for me as if I am his real baby sister not just cousin. I just can't stop crying without eating my favourite chocolate ice cream with M&M's in it. I know that's what Kenny's going to buy on his way here. My nose is all red and my eyes are puffy. I start thinking hard. Who is Mr. Black? I mean the guy has a lot of authority. Wicked and cruel. But I don't want to sound judgemental. The soft look he gave me when he commented on the color of my eyes just can't get out of me head. I hear the sound of the bell and snap out of my thoughts of the guy who made me loose my job.

"Oh my baby, you've been crying." Kenny says as he engulfs me in his tight bear hugs. "Kenny is here okay, don't cry munchkin."

"Hope I didn't disturb you?" I ask as I pull away from him and walk to the couch. The side table is full of tissues.

Kenny scrunchies his cute little nose in disgust. "Someone has been crying nasty to have all this tissues on the table."

I playfully punch his arms and let out a dry laugh and start crying again. "I lost my job Kenny."

"I know honey. I spoke to Draya. I'm so sorry okay, we'll find you another job sweetheart. And that asshole who did that is going to pay." He says and I can feel the anger radiating from his ears.

I look at him for a while. He's so cute with his piercing green eyes. If he wasn't gay, I'll definitely matchmake him with Draya. "Don't cuss Kenny. But seriously, did I disturb you? "

"No munchkin, you're my number one girl in the world and so it doesn't matter if I was busy or not. Let me get spoons before our ice cream melts." He stands up and walks over to the kitchen returning with super large spoons. That's just how Kenny and I are. We use extra large spoons for ice cream. "So, you want to talk about it? "

I take in a deep breathe and tell him what I think. "He's so handsome but he's got some shitty personality. I know I'm not the judgemental type but Kenny he's rude. He's got this amazing silver eyes that one can look at for hours. Perfect jet black hair, perfect chiseled jaws, straight nose, plump lips, amazing muscles that look like its gonna tear his suit apart and he's so tall. So so so tall and_____"

"Woah take it easy tiger, you realise you've been going crazy with his looks, right? And you never go that extra mile with anyone. Even me. Do you have a crush on him?" Kenny ask making me realize what I was saying. I blush red like a tomato. "Oh my God, you're blushing. You have a crush on him."

"No!!! How can I crush on someone like that. He's so full of himself. I don't like him." I say shocked at how fast I said it.

Kenny gives me his I'm- not- convinced look.

"Seriously Ken, I don't even know. If he was a little bit more gentlemanly, I'll consider him a nice guy but no. He's anything but nice. He's the guy who almost ran me over on my first day here and made me loose my job. If anything, I despise him. He's a horrible person with a despicable personality." I deadpan but felt guilty for jumping into conclusions.
