MAFIA

Chapter 30

A few days had passed and as expected Marco hadn't left the confines of his closet he now called home.. not even to greet his favourite bosses in his usual chirpy manner as his heart still hurt from the rejection he'd faced in the office, he felt lost.. like he had no where to be or no purpose to serve only lifting his eyes when the door to his cramped space opened gently in front revealing a tall red silk wearing woman who stood towering amongst her perfectly painted makeup

"If you're done being mad at me I have something to show you"

She spoke bluntly looking down on the familiar face who only huffed to stand from the pile of linen he had been laying upon, his small frame and fluffy hair bounding from behind the door only to stand front and fearful in front of the woman he only assumed now to want to send him home

"The plane home?"

"Ai niño! Cut the fucking attitude or I'll lock you back in that closet myself! Follow!"

She spat before confidently strutting down the hall away from the boy now dragging his squeaky sneakers along the glossy marble floor, the sounds annoying but ignored by Lauren as she pull a small key from her pocket shoving it deep into a lock that lead to a black door swinging wide open

"Marco for fuck sake hurry up I have shit to do today!"

"I'm coming! My feet are heavy!"

He whined back before meeting the woman's side to look in on something that confused him greatly, it was just a bedroom.. a large one at that but it held no purpose to him as he walked in to try and spot what it was he was supposed to be looking at, after a moment with no luck however he avert his brown eyes back to offer up a questioning look

"I feel like I'm missing something"

"Shocker! It's yours dipshit! The room!"

Immediately the boys eyes widened as he turned back to look out on the large bed and black decorated walls that hold in front a wide screen TV and various new hanging clothes.. all Marco sized and hand made to fit his slim stature, he gasped back with a wide beaming smile running over to the bed to press his palms into the soft mattress before again darting to trail his eyes over the new pretty expensive designer hoodies and shorts

"Wh- this is mine? All of it? But why?"

"Because you're a mouthy little shit and it's the only room I could find with a lock on it.. one turn of the key and your out of my hair for as long as I need!"

She lied knowingly forcing the boy to laugh with a shaking head as he wrapped his palm over the back of his thankful neck admiring the space that still didn't feel like it belonged to him, the truth was Lauren had felt so bad about breaking his heart she felt only needed to give him something to value.. it was a two birds one stone kind of deal too as she didn't trust him nor the guards to sleep downstairs in the gritty concrete basement..

"This is so cool? Thank you?"

"Mhmm, break anything and your back in the closet!"

She teased sternly forcing the boy to nod back quickly still looking around the room welling inside but holding it together on the out as the woman placed the key down against the nightstand, her powerful stature intimidating yet to Marco comforting in a way the other guards would ever know

"Like I said I have a LOT of really important shit to do today and I really don't have the energy to keep you entertained so respectfully stay in here and stay out of my way! I'm sure if you look in the closet over there you'll find something to do!"

She spoke sternly with an extremely cold tone that left the boy confused upon her leaving through the slamming door, he shook it off however venturing slowly over towards the large closet that pull open towards him, the jump back in his body gasping as he realised the large box laying at his feet
