The Mafia and his Nerd

Chapter 16

Ava's POV

I closed the door as he stepped out of the room and leaned on it. What the hell just happen?

My heart was beating fast. I didn't expect him to do something like that. One moment he was apologising and then he just kissed me on the cheek!! Not only that. That idiot just had to say "Goodnight tesoro " in that sexy Italian voice. Tesoro meant sweetheart from what Monica told me when I asked her the other day.

Ughhhh... I'm not his sweetheart. I'm just stupid nineteen year old nerd and did I mention the-typical-nerd-that-stucks-her-face-in-a-book-all-day nerd, stuck in this unknown part of Italy with not to forget a seven month old baby.

Mr. Rudy just had to kiss me goodnight. What am I? A four year old asking for a kiss?

That didn't seem like a kiss to four year old though. The way his lips lingered on your cheek.

Wow!! Great all I needed was a mocking subconscious now.

A heard a noise to see Alex stirred in his sleep letting out a whimper. I quickly went to attend him. I patted on his stomach and caressed his hair. Oh my baby. The pain due to teething was troubling his sleep. He fell asleep again with drool dropping from his mouth. I chuckled but made sure I was quiet as I wiped it off and made him wear his bib.

Looking at Alex brought me back to my real problem.

Nathaniel..

What did he do to Amadeo? Even after so many days of trying to forget what he did, I failed. And now he is probably the reason of us being here.

With that being my last thoughts I snuggled with Alex and fell asleep.

Amadeo's POV

"It's good to see after long time amico." Said my old friend Santiago.

"Yeah it's been a while." I said drinking the whiskey he brought me.

"This is very good. You always had a good taste my friend. Grazie."(thank you) I said.

"Oh let go of the formalities. You're a friend for god sake. Now you tell what has been stressing you. Only a man in stress can appreciate a good drink."

"Usual stuff. The mafia. Being the boss definitely has it's perks. "

"Well I may not be a capo but I surely know a way to relieve that." He said with a wink.

I knew what he meant and shook my head.

"No I'm in no need of that Santo." I said.

"Aw c'mon man just an approval and you'll have them in front you. Blondes redheads. You name it and you'll have them."

"I said no Santiago."

Seriously why isn't he leaving it? He's saying blondes and redheads as if they materials not humans. This disrespect pissed me off. And also how can I look at those blondes and redheads when I have my eyes for a certain brunette. The recollection of the memory last night brought a smile on my face. Ava. Her reaction was priceless when I kissed her on the cheek. I didn't intend to do that but I couldn't hold back after seeing her adorable face. Also it might have helped to take things off her mind for now.

"Whoah whoah look at that in one moment you go Mr.Pissed off to Mr.Smiley. Does that mean you're ready. My offer still stands bro. You know the chicks would absolutely love-"

"Santo." I warned . My smile soon faded because of this idiot. How am I even friends with this guy?

He raised both his hands in surrender. "Okay man no chicks. But how about some booze?"
