Little Mrs.Mafia

Chapter 18

Amara de Luca

I made my way downstairs after changing', thinking of an excuse to leave this evening. Everyone stopped to look at me, everyone being Lucas who was being scolded by Alex, Mary who was setting the table a bunch of hunky dudes and Kevin?

"Vieni Qui Fiore" ( Come here flower) Alex murmured walking towards me. I raised my eyebrows in confusion. He engulfed me in a hug and let me to the table and pulled out a chair for me to sit and sat down next to me.

"Hey!" Kevin greeted me, I waved back at him. Is he here to shadow me again? Cause that could be a problem. I look at Alex inquisitively, "Why are they all here?" I asked quietly feeling intimidated by all these buffy dudes.

"They're here for your protection, they'll be with you at all times." he said gesturing to them, "you know Kevin, This is Fra-"

"Wait" I held up a hand at him, "I don't remember asking for any of this, I don't want protection" I ground out at him.

"You may not want it but you need it, just please don't argue with me on this il Mio piccolo," he said trying to cradle my face his hands.

I slapped his hand away, "I am not okay with this, I would like my privacy"

He sighed and signaled for them to leave, "Okay, if you're not comfortable then you don't have to he smiled at me. I frowned did he just agree with me?

Whhaaaattt?

Somethings not right, I took a seat again and started loading my plate with pasta and a generous helping of garlic bread.....what I love garlic bread. I sat down munching while thinking of a way to get to the hotel this evening.

"I'm staying over at a friend's today" I mumbled.

He looked over at me and narrowed his eyes, "Which friend?" he asked skeptically.

"A friend from school you don't know him," I said staring at him without blinking so he would believe me.

"Does your friend have a name?"

"Rumpelstiltskin"

"What kind of name is that?"

He doesn't know of Rumpelstiltskin? "He's Turkish," I said and shoved pasta in my mouth so I don't burst out laughing.

"No, you cant. I know you'll get upset but this is for your sake so please" he said as calmly as possible.

"Why are you doing this to me? I feel like I'm in prison. I'm suffocating here. I just need to get out of here for one night." I almost yelled at the end.

"Mio piccolo, I'm sorry but you have to understand it's not that simple. You can invite them over if you want" he tried cajoling me. How am I supposed to invite Rumpelstiltskin when the earth swallowed him.

"NO" I grabbed my garlic bread and stood up for a dramatic effect, "It's just one night I can look after myself. I just wanna get away from you and all your bodyguards" I saw a flash of hurt cross his face before it hardened.

"I'd like to see you try" his voice so calm but his eye mmhmm Nah not so calm. I hmphed and stomped back to my room garlic bread still in hand.

I opened my window and it was facing the front of the house, not helping. I jumped in the shower and dressed up in jumpsuit cause that hotel for fancy but I'd also be climbing out a window. It was almost dark I grabbed my wallet and phone. Just as I was about to open the door someone knocked.

my heart thudded, "Who is it?" I called out.

"Hey, it's Lucas. I brought yo-" I opened the door and pulled him in.

"Whoa, what's the rush. wait are you going somewhere?" he asked looking at me.

Well it's just Lucas he's not gonna tell anybody and maybe someone should know where I am. "You can't tell anyone but I'm going to Le paradise" I whispered to him.

"I've heard of it somewhere, but you aren't supposed to leave the house" he whispered back.

"Well, I am. Don't tell anybody I will be back by 10 I think"

"Wait, let me come with you!" he whisper yelled as I made to leave.

"What? No!" I pondered over it, I don't know where I am going so it would be nice to have a friend come along.

I turned to his pouting frame, "Okay, but you can't tell anyone okay?" he beamed.
