SUCCUMBING SALVATORE

mafia don

~chapter 23~

I stomp through the school corridors-

Stupid egotistical Italian. I think to myself as I open the door to my English class

"Miss Delores you're late? Do I need to send you to Mr Romano?" She asks making a few people look up at me including Grayson who is smirking.

Not that I would mind but right now I would rather chew my toe off.

"Um no Miss, sorry" I say and she rolls her eyes and looks back down to her computer, I scoot in next to Grayson who puts his hand on my thigh

"You okay?" He asks me and I nod taking out my pencil case with a huff and he chuckles pecking my cheek and I squeeze his hand.

I hate this lesson

"Wildest place you've had sex in?" Asks Loren as we all sit down for lunch, I pull out a juice box and some cherries as I'm not too hungry.

"Fucking cherries" says Grayson and I give him a questioning look as I suck on it and pop it into my mouth biting down on it and letting the stone roll off my tongue

"In a van" says Lucas and Brittany chuckles at him making Loren giggle, "what about you Brittany?" She asks her

"On Lucas' dads countertop in his bakery" she says quietly and me and Grayson look over at her blushing which makes Lucas chuckle.

"What about you?" She asks me and I roll my eyes taking another cherry and biting around the stone this time thinking

"In a toilet" I say and they all look at me with gaping mouths, Grayson winks at me before slinging his arm over my shoulder, "that's my girl"

"You two could've caught STD's!" Exclaims Loren in a fake shocked voice and Aaliyah high fives me but her eyes drag away from me

"What's up?" I ask her and she sits back in her seat like a scared rabbit but masks it with a sweet smile as she flicks her hair behind her shoulder

"Mr Romano, hi" she says and I look up instantly making Grayson frown but I look at him and kiss his cheek making him sit back satisfied

"Hi Aaliyah, could I borrow Miss Delores?" he says and I nod standing up feeling Grayson's hand on my thigh tighten and Mr Romano's jaw clenches

"We don't have all day Miss Delores" he says sourly and I try not to roll my eyes and throw a cherry at him; which would be very satisfying.

"Bye guys!" I say waving at them and they all say goodbye watching me like I'm never going to see them again, I smile at Grayson

"There's something I need to talk to you about Cara" he says and I nod sitting in his chair across from his chair, he slams the door shut

"I can't stop thing about you. I know I keep saying stuff this is wrong and I'm engaged but every time I see you my rational thoughts disappear"

"Mr Romano I..."

"Please. Here me out, I like you a lot and what we did in Venice and this office this morning is wrong, but as cliché as this sounds, you excite me"

"But I thought that you loved Angeline."

"I love Angeline, not in that way, I have to marry her" he says looking at me and he takes my hands with wide eyes, he clearly wasn't supposed to say that.

"Why? Are you being forced?" I ask him standing up so I feel a bit taller than before and he nods softly biting his lip

"It's because of a business deal. I have to marry Angeline for money" he says and I cross my eyebrows unsure of what he means

"You mean to say that you have to marry Angeline? I don't get it Salvatore" I say and he looks at me intensely but with such raw emotion.

"It's my father, he wants me to marry Angeline, he's friends with her dad and if I marry Angeline he will let me stay in America and teach"

"Or what?"

"He will make me the mafia don" he says and my mouth opens as it comes back to me and I suddenly wake up and smell the coffee.

"But you love her?"

"As a friend yes, I've known her for years. She came to America a few months ago, we went on a date to discuss the engagement"

"But you left?" I say confused

"Si. To discuss the deal with my father, I got her a ring, asked her to marry me, and we came back after being in Italy" he explains

"I thought you left because of me" I say and he shakes his head kissing my cheek, "no, never, I lied to you Mia Cara"

"Oh, well this changes things. But won't your father be mad if you pursue me, he'll make you take over the mafia..." I say feeling unsure

"Yes I know it's risky but for you I want to take the risk... I'm sorry I pushed you away and acted like a dick but I didn't want to feel for you like this"

"I forgive you" I say quietly and I hear his heart beat quickly and he kisses me on the lips quickly but I draw in again loving his lips on mine.

"Cazzo. Life is so difficult, we have to do this behind everyone's backs" he says huskily and his words are enough to make me break down

"I know, but I want you and until everything is normal and I've left school I'm sure people won't judge us" I say stroking his cheek

"If only it was as simple as Venice" he says and I nod agreeing with him, his hand touches my chest covered by my top.

"Take it off" he whispers against my skin and I slowly take it off throwing it by my feet and I watch as he hungrily kisses my chest

"I've missed your body" he says seductively and I grin as I grip his hair in my hands pulling him closer to me, my mouth opening slightly.

"I've missed you" he reiterates and I feel his hands cup one of my breasts and he feels around to unhook my bra but I pull away

"Lets not do it here" I say to him feeling like the roles have reversed and he nods like a naughty schoolboy and kisses me one last time

"You should get back to your friends" he says against my cold neck and he helps me put my jumper back on and I resist kissing him harder than before

"Yeah but when will I see you again?" I ask him feeling my stomach fizz about with excitement as I'm happy the feeling is mutual.

"I don't know Mia Cara" he says, his long fingers stroke my cheeks and I can smell his expensive aftershave making my knees weak.

"I'll see you later" he says winking and squeezing my ass before I go and I slap his hand lightly and kiss his lips that are slightly red.

Now lets face the wrath of Grayson
