❃ The Mob Boss and The French Mafia Princess ❃
"Shira," I warned, "Come any closer and I will stop the car right here and fuck you," I spoke with a stern tone, my hands gripped on to the steering wheel so hard my knuckles begged to come out. "Valeri...

"Papa, Mama?" Shira questioned, she quickly shot me a glance and I instantly knew that we were done for. "Angelo, what did you just say?" Mama said bringing her arms out to hug him. Angelo ran up to her and kissed her cheek.
"Che Valerius è un cattivo ragazzo." Angelo pointed at me, squinting his eyes into small slits. His death stare had to be the most cutest thing. "Valerius, boyfriend?" Mama looked at me while she placed Angelo on the floor. I gulped. Just gulped.
(Translation: that Valerius is a bad boyfriend)
Shira and I looked at the whole room, the unreadable faces only increased the thick air of silence. "Valerius. Shira. Cover your ears." Theo said as he and Papa both backed away from their wives. Shira confusingly covered her ears but I didn't.
Wails and screams from Mama, Melanie and Lorena echoed and I was sure that my eardrums had burst, I should have listened to Theo. The screams died down and the three women began to cry. Theo and Papa sighed and rubbed their foreheads. Women.
"Can someone tell me what's happening?" I finally spoke. Theo and Papa went back to their weeping wives. Shira walked over and hugged her mum and dad before greeting my parents. "Well, your mother and Melanie talked about you and Shira whilst we went on holiday. They're a bit overwhelmed, I suppose." Theo replied.
Glancing a look at Shira, her cheeks were pale red and her lip was between her teeth. She looked so cute blushing, but I would love to punish her for biting her lip like that. Lorena walked up to me, cupping my face with her warm hands and pulling me down to kiss my forehead. "I'm proud of you, Val. Anyway, everyone, dinner is ready."
Shira brought her mum to the dining room and so everyone else followed, except one. Theo. He walked by slow and stopped in front of me. "Listen, Santis, if you hurt my daughter or even make a single tear come out of her. I will make you suffer a thousand times worse. Understood?" Theo's eyes portrayed his power he held that burned holes into my lowering eyes.
"Sì." I nodded. To say I was quite scared would be an understatement. I was shitting myself, I knew how Theo was like and how ruthless he could be, but it was a fatherly habit. If I was in his place, I would have reacted the same way.
"I hope it won't come to that, Valerius." Without another word, Theo left, leaving me to let out a tightening breath.

The ambience felt jovial and bright, not once did they leave the topic about us. Funnily, they made us sit together, which for sure wasn't a coincidence. Our parents chattered about their 'wonderful' vacation, but I couldn't care less. My hand travelled under the table, where I gently dragged along Shira's thigh.
