Betraying Giovanni

Chapter Eleven: Lead Us Not Into Temptation

"Chanel!" Kat yells.

Still fast asleep, Chanel can't hear a thing.

"Juliet!"

She kicks the door open and finds Chanel and Vincent cuddled together. She wants to scream; she pulls out her phone and takes quick snaps.

"Good, they are in here," Kat calls out, Gio rushes in and looks at the cute couple lying together.

"I knew it," he whispers, "Did you take pictures?"

Kat smirks holding up her phone, "Yes I did."

"Vincent Giovanni," Gio screams, causing both Chanel and Vincent to jump up in fear.

Kat erupts into laughter.

"Bitch! Get out!" Chanel yells in embarrassment.

Gio and Kat continue to laugh, Vincent grabs a pillow and throws it at them, but they quickly rush out, laughing hysterically.

Vincent sighs, "I'm sorry about Gio, he's usually more mature."

"I can't say the same about Kat."

"Good morning, Amore," Vincent pulls her into his arms and kisses her head.

"I need to get ready for work," she says softly.

Vincent nods, he wasn't in favour of the idea, but it was what she wanted.

He gets up and helps her out of bed, walking her to the bathroom, he gets the shower ready for her while she brushes her teeth.

"Chanel, I don't think you going to work is a good idea"

Chanel shrugs, "Doesn't matter, I'm okay and I'm a new employee, I can't be receiving special attention, people will get suspicious."

Vincent can see that Chanel isn't herself, yesterday's events got to her, and he didn't want to bother her any further than he already had.

Leaving the bathroom, he puts on his pants and heads down to the kitchen, where he finds Gio and Kat making breakfast.

"Mi dispiace per svegliare il capo di yo," Gio apologies, "I made you breakfast."

[Translation: Sorry for waking you up boss]

"We made you breakfast," Kat corrects, handing him a cup of coffee.

Vincent sits on the island chair and sighs, "Thank you."

"I heard what happened last night. Why didn't you call me?" Gio says.

Vincent sips on his coffee, "You were out with your girl, I didn't want to ruin that and besides we handled it well."

"You call going to jail handling it well?"

Vincent sips on his coffee.

"Mario, Papa sa di questo?"

[Translation: Does uncle know?]

Vincent shakes his head, "I'll tell him, eventually."

"Mario, sai come Papa ottiene quando tenete le cose da lui. È tu che lo dici o io lo farò!"

[Translation: Mario, you know how uncle gets when you keep things from him. It's either you tell him, or I will! Today!]

Vincent rolls his eyes, "Oh just relax."

Gio groans in frustration.

"Gio solo lo deja ser. Déjelo que él sea el padre en su propio tiempo" Kat explains, kissing his cheek.

[Translation: Gio just let him be. Let him tell he's uncle in his own time]

Gio nods his head and kisses Kat back.

Chanel walks out of the bedroom, dressed and ready for work, she had a red dress on, with matching platforms and a white blazer, her hair was tied up in a bun and had very little made upon, Kat had brought her emergency overnight bag to the hotel, they were at.

"Look at you, dressed in red," Kat winks.

Chanel blushes, "Shut up."

Vincent can't help but stare, the dress brought out her curves and ass, he got hard on the spot.

"Vince, seriously in front of people."

Vincent smirks, "Only for you baby girl."

Chanel shudders, "You're disgusting."

Kat dishes breakfast with a cup of coffee for Chanel and Vince.

"Why don't you both sit down?" Gio asks, "We need to talk."

"Oh."

They all sit down on the couch, Gio and Kat sit beside each other.

"So, what's up guys?" Vince asks.

"Well as you probably have noticed, Gio and I are dating," Kat says.

"And we just wanted to ask you for your blessing on our engagement,"

Chanel chokes on her coffee but quickly recovers with the help of Vince. Has her best friend lost her damn mind? Engagement? She was moving way too fast, too quickly, and she knew damn well this had nothing to do with their mission.

"Engagement? How long have you been dating?"

"About two weeks," Gio replies shyly.

Vince and Chanel give each other a sceptical look and then look back at the couple.

"How about you continue dating for a few more weeks and then we see how it goes?"

Kat sighs, "Why? We are two grown adults, who know what they want."

"Just because you know what you want doesn't mean it's what you need."

"Says the girl who's had two failed relationships," Kat chuckles.

Chanel glares at her best friend, she just had to go there, didn't she?

"She's just trying to give you sound advice Kat and I agree with her, the date is for a few more weeks and if you still feel the same, we'll give you our blessing" Vince explains, "Giovanni?"

"I agree with them too."

"I guess I don't have a choice but to agree too huh," she sighs.

"No, you don't," Chanel replies as she takes a bit of her toast.

Vincent looks at his watch, "You are going to be late for work."

"Oh shit," Chanel puts her plate and cup down. She picks up her purse and laptop bag.

"Gio car keys", Gio throws the keys at him, and Vincent quickly runs to grab the rest of his clothes and they head out.

On the drive there Chanel can't help but think about Mr Martin and what had happened to him, she could quite understand why he had ditched her after annoyingly persisting at work. What kind of man does that?

She's had too many men stand her up and mess her around and she was done with it. When she saw him, she was going to give her a piece of her damn mind, he was going to wish he was dead than to deal with her wrath.

"Amore, we are here. You don't have to work today" he says again.

"I'll be okay Vince," she says frustratedly.

They get out of the car and head up to her office. The elevator doors open and immediately get struck by the number of officers standing around.

"What's going on here?" Vince yells.

"Sir we need you to calm down. We are currently investigating a murder," an officer says.

"Murder?" Chanel asks confusedly.

"Mr Darius Martin has been founded murdered in his office."

Oh no.
