Untouchable

CHAPTER 23

Gia was about to put her phone away when a message came through. She looked at it and frowned. She was not in the mood to deal with Gio, but the constant pinging of her message alarm was enough indication that the man was not going to give up.

From: Gio

Message: Where are you, Giada?

From: Gio

Message: I want you here in the next half hour or hell will look like a place you'd want to be in, baby.

From: Gio

Message: I'm not fucking around, Gia! Answer your Goddamned phone now!

Her phone rang and she rejected the call. She was not one of his damn whores and he was not going to talk to her like she was.

She was Giada Benedetti for fuck's sake! She was one of the most powerful Bosses in the damn country and no man was going to talk to her that way or order her around like a common woman!

She turned her phone off and smiled at Gino. "Let's see how long it takes his crew to get to me?" Gia gave Gino and Marco who looked at her briefly an impish smile that made both men laugh.

Trent leaned in a bit closer to Marco not wanting Gia to hear him. "Is she always like this?"

Marco shook his head no. "Nah, sometimes she's all business and meetings but for the most part working for her is fucking awesome. Never a boring day."

Gia pretended not to hear the men's conversation and smiled. It was nice that her guards liked working for her. She made a mental note to give them a big bonus.

Gino's phone rang and when he saw it was Gio, he looked at Gia and raised an eyebrow in question as to what to do about it.

"Fellas, in honor of playing hooky, all phones off right now. I'm the Boss and I say what we do."

The Ferris Wheel was lovely again. Trent didn't ride with them due to his fear of heights. Gia had found it unbelievable that a man his size and given his profession was afraid of heights. Gino, Marco, and Gia rode the Ferris Wheel twice. The teacups weren't her favorite, feeling very queasy after the ride as was Trent.

After riding every ride and hitting every booth they could think of Gia was ready for her Funnel cake. On their way to the Funnel Cake booth Marco spotted two of Gio's men and pulled Gia into a booth quickly.

"Two crew three O'clock," he said quietly.

"Took them long enough," she said, keeping her voice down. "Okay, here's the plan. Trent, you go straight ahead and create a diversion, Gino you get the Funnel cakes and Marco, and I will make it back to the pier and hide in our spot from last time." Gia put her hand out, palm facing down and the three men put theirs on top. "No guns and no violence unless they start it first then kick their fucking asses. Hiding spot on three." Gia counted to three and they all said, 'hiding spot' as they dispersed.

Trent went towards the two crew at three O'clock and began to chat them up and distract them and got them to move enough so Gino could make his way to the Funnel Cake booth. He ordered four cakes and paid extra to get a rush on it. He made his way back out and signaled Trent to get his ass moving.

Marco and Gia were already waiting under the pier sitting on rocks not too close to the water.

"And here I thought that the great Giada Benedetti was nothing but business?" One of Gio's Captains said, looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Back off, Jordan. The Boss is taking some down time," Marco said with a stern voice.

Jordan crouched to his knees and began to draw doodles in the sand. "Giovanni is pissed and looking for you all over the city," he informed Gia looking up at her.
