"A dozen roses please." I said to the florist. He smiled and began to gather the deep red roses before neatly wrapping them.
I was on the way to see Lira, after all I did win the date. I still can't quite believe it, she was staying for a while longer. I couldn't help how I felt and last night was fucking perfect.
"Here you go. I'm sure she'll love them." The florist smiled warmly. I nodded and paid him, leaving a generous tip. "Thank you."
The day was bright, with the sun shining and soft clouds swam in the sky. I got into my car and closed the door. Sergio and Raf sat in seats opposite to me in the SUV.
"Flowers?" Raf furrowed his brows at me. "Yes flowers. Haven't you ever brought a girl flowers?" I asked him. He opened and closed his mouth. "You should you fucking idiot." I shook my head at him.
I couldn't fucking wait to pick up Lira. I made sure to brush my hair neatly and I wore a classic suit. Raf was also somewhat presentable in his suit.
The car stopped at the hotel Lira was staying at. I could not see her but then again she liked to play games and maybe she was making me wait.
As if on cue, I saw her appear from the front door. Fucking hell. She wore a tight sleeveless top with some dark jeans. Her hair was in a ponytail and she wore little makeup. She smiled when she saw the car, the windows were tinted so she could not see inside.
She opened the car door and her lips tugged into a small smile when she saw me. She took a seat and her subtle perfume filled the air. "Enzo. Raphael." She said as she got comfortable. "Hi." I smiled at her. I noticed Raf was being quieter than usual but I did not care at this moment.
"These are for you." I said as I handed Lira the flowers. She smiled while looking down at them. "They're beautiful. Thank you." I'm sure I saw her blush slightly.
"So why a racetrack Lira?" Raf asked with furrowed brows as he leaned back casually. "Because I love racing..and I want to beat Cal. I know he's good but I'm better." She replied.
"Enzo races but he has never beaten Cal." Raf said. Fucking idiot. Why must he embarrass me in front of Lira. She smiled, her beautiful dimples appearing on her cheeks. "Well I guess I'll have to teach you how to race shaka." She said to me.
"I'll need a lot of lessons kurvë." I smiled at her. Raf looked utterly bewildered as he looked between us both. That's right, he did not know Albanian. He shrugged it off and pulled out his phone.
"So exactly how excited are you today Enzo?" Lira asked as she looked at me. I couldn't help but feel as if I was on clouds whenever she looked at me. She was just so fucking beautiful without even trying. "Very excited." I admitted.
She hummed. "I like a man who tells the truth. It's fucking hot." She grinned. Raf scoffed as if to remind us that he was still in the car with us.
"Well I always speak the truth." I smiled unable to hide my feelings. Raf scoffed once more and sniggered quietly. Lira bit her lip and shook her head. "Find something funny Raphael?" She asked him.
"Oh no please continue. I want to hear more." He grinned. "Vaffanculo idiota. Cos'hai che non va? (Fuck off you idiot. What's wrong with you?)" I growled at him in Italian. He rolled his eyes and went back on his phone.
"Fine. I don't always tell the truth. I don't even play by the rules." I said truthfully. "That's refreshing to hear. I am the same." Lira said as she looked down at the flowers.

Fucking hell. If Raf wasn't here, I would have definitely kissed her.
The car soon stopped at the racetrack. I stepped out and held Lira's door open. "What about me?" Raf joked. "You can go fuck yourself." I smirked at him as I watched Lira step out from the car.
She left the flowers behind and looked around, impressed by what she saw. The track was busy as usual. I have been to this one many times. There were quite a few cars dotted around with crowds by them. Cheap tacky cars at that, they were painted in bright colours almost fluorescent. The air was cool when small gusts of wind touched your skin but the humidity was apparent.
"Right come on Enzo. Let's have a little race. That is, if you think you can beat me?" Lira teased. She had her hands on her hips. "Go on Enzo." Raf encouraged. He just wanted to see me lose. I did not know if I could beat her but I could certainly try.
I smiled and walked towards the track. Men and women looked in my direction but I hardly cared. I reached the start of the smooth asphalt track. There were freshly painted white lines across the edges. The turns were tight and some quite complex. It required a lot of skill. I've seen many casualties as a result of this track.
I saw Cal flaunting off his car to several men. He always did. I headed for him and stopped in front of him, the group of men around him stepped back slightly. "I need your car." I stated. He furrowed his brows and scratched his jaw, his hands were hidden in leather gloves. He wore a tight fitting T-shirt and his hair was slicked back neatly.
"Why?" He asked not looking too impressed with me. It was then he noticed Raf and Lira who followed me. His lips tugged into a coy smile. "You should have brought your own car." He shook his head as he tossed me the keys. "Coming to a fucking track without your own car. Fuck. You better not even scratch my car otherwise you'll owe me." He grumbled.
"Oh come on Cal, you're my car man." I smirked. I looked at Lira and shook the car keys in my hand. "Shall we race?" I asked her. She looked at me confused. "My car?" She crossed her arms.
"Go get one." I said. "Or you won't be able to race." I smirked. I could tell she loved it when I teased her. "Fine." She said and walked away. No doubt she had to find and convince someone to lend her their car. I don't know how she would do it but it did not matter to me because as soon as she came back with a car, I would be fucked.
"So that's Lira. She is fucking hot. Damn Enzo." Cal chuckled and patted my back. I smiled, she was insanely hot. "Stop staring at her." I said knowing full well he was. "What happened to dicks before chicks?" Cal bemused.
"Shut up Cal. Enzo likes her. Do you not understand?" Raf chuckled and slapped his shoulder. Cal blew out a long breath. "Shit. Enzo don't you know that women are crazy? You just have to hit it and quit it." He said as he looked at me.
"Shut the fuck up Cal. You're clearly drunk off your ass. If I hear you speak like that again, I will not hesitate to fuck you up." I growled. He could be an asshole at times, I sometimes wonder if he thought before he spoke.
I could see Lira across the track talking to a man who was adorned in fake gold chains. She laughed with him. The man looked her up and down. Fucking hell. I have a right mind to murder the bastard. Who the fuck does he think he is.
"Enzo...dickhead." Raf nudged me harshly. "What?!" I grumbled as I looked at him. "Can you stop staring at her..fuck I hope she doesn't distract you. We have much more important things to do." Raf said.
He was right. I had a Mafia to run, both in America and Italy. It took up a lot of my time. But there was Lira, I have felt things for her that I never thought I would ever feel. I wanted her. If I let her go, what were the chances of finding another woman like her.
