Maya's P.O.V
After a quick shower I put on some pajamas and climbed back into bed. I was almost asleep until Matteo came in interrupting my peace.
"What are you doing" he asked.
"Sleeping, shhh" I replied, my eyes still closed.
"Bu-"
"If you lay down with me will you shut up" I mumbled. He didn't even answer I just felt the bed dip and his arm wrapped around me. I opened my eyes, alarmed "um who said anything about cuddling" I question.
"Shut up and be the little spoon ma cherí" he chuckled then kissed my forehead. I huffed in disagreement but closed my eyes anyway. After a few minutes I drifted off into a deep sleep and dreamt of happier times.
When I woke up the other side of the bed was empty. I looked around and Matteo was nowhere to be found, there's no telling what he's doing. I got out of bed to search the house, the guest room, nope. The living room, kitchen, and bathroom all empty. His car wasn't even in the driveway or in front of the house. I sat on the floor attempting to calm myself, wait after all of that fuss to stay I highly doubt he'd leave. Though he doesn't know anyone or know where anything is here so where in the hell did he go?
The front door closed and I jumped up. I walked around the corner and to see him hanging up his jacket. "Where have you been?" I questioned, hands on my hips while tapping my foot.
"I had business to handle and I went to have a key made" he shrugged.
"Business?" I questioned. "Yeah"
"What business, you don't know anyone here"
"I don't" he replied smartly.
"Okay dickhead, get shot. Have fun I don't want to know about anything you're getting yourself into" I rolled my eyes and walked away. I did want to know but last time I got involved, I grimaced remembering the pain from my gunshot wounds. Matteo noticed my pained look and came over to console me.
"I know I am the reason for your scars, but I promise I'll keep you safe. It is my main priority" he said solemnly.
"Shouldn't that be your kid?" I asked.
"Maya there is something you should know" he sighed. "What?"
"We're not all sure that the baby is mine" he stated rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.
"What do you mean you're not sure, you fucked her" I said.
"You and I both know Adalie was spreading her legs to other men as well"
"Why are you saying this now and not when I brought it up the other day"
"Like I said we're not sure" he shrugged
"Honestly it doesn't even change anything until she has the baby and you get a DNA test" I rolled my eyes.
"She's due any day now, which is why I need you to come back with me. I need you by my side Maya" he pleaded. I stared back at his pretty blue eyes while I contemplated my answer.
"Will I have the choice to leave if need be?" I questioned.
"I promise" he replied holding up his pinky, I grabbed it with mine and kissed his cheek.
"It is sealed, I got a mob boss to pinky swear with me" I laughed, he rolled his eyes and mocked my laugh. "Someone's lookin' a little pressed"
"Go pack your bags, I'll have a car ready in the next hour" he directed. I went upstairs and laid my suitcase out. I can't believe I'm doing this again, but maybe I need some adventure in my life.
