"What do you want to watch?" Lira asked as she flicked through movies on her phone. We arrived home very late after finishing off some more business. The hug she gave me was so different. I could feel myself letting my guard down for her. She was my comfort place. I could truly be myself around her and she didn't care for the bad things I did. I just wished my grandad had a better life.
I looked up at her as I leaned down with a bottle of wine in hand and shrugged my shoulders. "Whatever you want." I poured two small glasses of white wine. She sighed and scratched her head as she sat crossed legged on the sofa. "I'll put on a princess movie if you don't decide." She grinned as she tossed her phone beside her. I sat down beside her and handed her a glass. "Princess movie it is." I smirked as I clicked on the remote. Little did she know Isabella practically emotionally blackmailed Raf and I to watch frozen with her. The bright red Netflix logo popped up and before I could click on anything, she snatched the remote from my loose grip.
"Shut up...let's watch...oh hmm." Lira smiled as she began to click on letters. I looked at her as I sipped my wine and then back at the screen. "Fifty shades of grey huh. I didn't know you were into that." I teased and she chuckled, nudging me with her shoulder.
Usually I'd have done some work and gone to bed, but with Lira, it's endless date nights and endless fucking fun. We talked throughout the movie and by now she lay on the sofa beside me, her leg being over mine. "Oh my God Enzo look what the fuck. He's actually whipping her ass. Is that a turn on? Would you do that?" She asked as she looked up at me. My fingers ran aimless circles on her arm as she cuddled me. "No I wouldn't. I mean it's kinky but that's taking it too far...and that's not a turn on." I replied quietly.
She hummed diverting my attention away from the screen. She shuffled so she was looking down at my face. She smiled before leaning down to capture my lips. After the gentle peck she looked at me. "I still remember..you slapped my ass." She whispered into my ear. I chuckled and using my hand, I brought her face to mine again.
"And?" I teased. She chuckled and kissed me once more. She licked my lips with her tongue and I felt her hand move up my thigh. Dangerously close. "Do you know how easy it is for me to turn you on and then I'll simply say no." She said quietly while continuing to look into my eyes. Fuck. I couldn't help the gulp that ran down my throat. She noticed because she smiled while looking down. She ran a finger down my neck and I pulled her in. She chuckled and I kissed her, tasting her sweet lips.
Suddenly, I heard a voice, a small girls voice call out my name. I immediately stopped kissing Lira and tried to listen. There's only one little girl I know who would be allowed in without so much a second thought. "Oh shit." I swore as Lira quickly got off me. She looked alarmed and stood to her feet. I quickly got up and grabbed the remote, turning the screen off which was at a very intimate part.
And as if on cue, Isabella walked in. "Enzo!" She shrieked. "I told daddy to bring me to see you." She giggled and ran over to hug me. I leaned down and embraced her in a hug, my hand held the back of her head. "Isabella. I've missed you." I smiled as we parted. She grinned and looked at Lira.
"You must be Lira! Enzo's told me about you." Isabella blabbed. Lira smiled at me and then at Isabella. "It's nice to meet you Isabella." Lira greeted. Isabella smiled and tilted her head at me. "Enzo you're right she is a princess." She grinned innocently. Lira smiled at me. I rubbed my neck and cleared my throat.
"Where's your dad?" I asked Isabella. She however, ignored me and went to talk to Lira. "That's a very pretty dress." Lira complimented to which Isabella twirled around to show off her red sparkly dress. "These flowers are so nice. Did it hurt?" Isabella asked Lira as she pointed at her tattooed arm. Lira shook her head. Isabella grinned widely. "Lira do you know how to shoot?" She asked and I immediately knew what she was thinking.
Lira chuckled and licked her lips. "Well yes I do why?" She asked looking a bit concerned. "Can you teach me? My daddy doesn't want to and Enzo doesn't want to and Raf doesn't want to and I need to know how to shoot." Isabella asked. I sighed and sat down. "Bella no. She won't teach you. Your dad will kill us." I said as I looked at her. She sighed and sat on the sofa.
"Did you go school today? It's very late aren't you sleepy?" I asked her as she continued looking at Lira. "Are you a bad person? Have you killed anyone? What is your job?" Isabella bombarded Lira with questions. She was ignoring me, she never ignored me. Lira grinned. "Why yes I'm very bad. I have killed lots of bad people and my job, well it's sort of like Enzo's. I help my brother run our Mafia." Lira replied truthfully. She shrugged her shoulders at me. Isabella loved the Mafia and as much as her dad tried to keep her out of it, she wanted to be a part of it.
Isabella gasped and held a hand to her mouth. "Wow! That's..so cool! You're so cool. I want to be like you when I grow up." She beamed as she looked at Lira like she was a celebrity. "I thought you wanted to be like me?" I asked with furrowed brows. Isabella patted my leg as if to console me. "You're a boy. I don't like boys." She replied. "What!? You don't like me?" I fake gasped holding a hand to my chest.
She giggled. "No I love you! You're the best. Lira do you love Enzo too!?" She asked her. Lira chuckled and hummed. "Maybe." She smiled at me. Oh fuck does she. "How old are you? You're very clever." Lira asked Isabella. "I'm six! Hey do you like like dinosaurs or unicorns?" She asked Lira. I shrugged my shoulders at her. This was classic Isabella. A hundred and one miles per hour with never ending questions.
Lira tapped her lips as she thought about it. "Well unicorns are cute and they can fly but dinosaurs are scary and they have very sharp teeth. But I think I love dinosaurs. Which one do you like?" She said as she looked at Isabella. Isabella hummed and twirled her fingers around her palm. "I love dinosaurs! Enzo and Raf won me a huge one when we went to the carnival." She said elongating the word huge and showing how big it was by stretching out her arms.
"Isabella. I told you to wait for me." Uncle Kaden said out of breath as he stepped into the living room. I turned to face him as did Lira. Isabella, however, tried to shrink into the sofa. "Uncle Kaden." I smiled and got up to greet him. As I let go of our hug, he turned his attention towards Lira. He opened his mouth but quickly closed it. I grinned and gestured for Lira to meet him. "Uncle Kaden this is Lira, Lira this is my uncle Kaden, my dads brother." I introduced.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Lira said as she held out a hand. Uncle Kaden shook her hand proudly. "Lira Qesari hmm it's a honour meet you. I'm glad Enzo's finally settled down." He grinned. "Your mom called." Uncle Kaden explained how he knew Lira.
"So Lira, Enzo's not giving you any trouble is he? Because if he is, I'll teach him a lesson or two." Uncle Kaden chuckled, placing a hand on my shoulder. "Oh no definitely not. If anything I think I cause more trouble than I'm worth." She smiled. She didn't even know her own worth. I wanted to forever show her how fucking amazing she was. If I lost it all tomorrow, if I lost my Mafia, the money, the power. I don't think I would care as long as she was by my side.
"Daddy you're not mad at me are you?" Isabella spoke up timidly looking at her dad. Uncle Kaden sighed and shook his head. "No Isabella I'm not mad. Just don't run off like that." He used a hand to rub her cheek and tap her chin. Isabella hugged her dad, wrapping her little arms around his neck. "I'm thirsty. Lira can you come with me to get some water please." Isabella spoke as she let go of her dad. She quickly walked out of the room holding Lira's hand, dragging her along. Lira looked back and pressed her lips together tightly.
When they were both out of the room, uncle Kaden leaned over the back of the sofa. "So that's Lira. Fucking hell she's beautiful. You did good there Enzo." He said as he crossed his arms. I chuckled. "Yes that's my girl." I smiled as I poured him a glass of wine. I handed him the glass. "I like her. She seems lovely. Alessia told me all about her." He smiled and sipped his drink. My mom and uncle Kaden had a special type of friendship, one which I adored.
"What are you doing here so late? Isn't Isabella going to school tomorrow?" I asked him. He nodded. "When she heard that you were here, she begged me nonstop to see you. And you have no idea how irritating she can be. She said she would get expelled if I didn't bring her here. So here we are. We will leave in a bit..I hope we didn't ruin your night." He spoke as he walked around to the table and placed his drink down. He clicked on the remote before I could stop him.
He chuckled as he looked at the screen. "That's a bit explicit isn't?" He turned it off and placed the remote down. "You're not going to ask then." I sighed and scratched my jaw. He licked his lips and shook his head of dark hair at me. "I know you've slept with her..and I won't tell your parents although I'm sure they know. You're a big boy now. Welcome to the committed life." He chuckled and patted my shoulder.
"I haven't told anyone this, not even my mom but I think I've fallen in love with her." I said quietly. Uncle Kaden looked at me with a half smile. "Why haven't you told her? There's nothing to be afraid of." He replied. I loved talking to him, he always listened and he's undeniably my favourite uncle. Although I haven't told Uncle Mariano that. "I'm afraid I'll lose her. What if she gets hurt? I'm afraid for her but why do I feel the need to be afraid? She can handle herself, she can definitely handle herself. I guess I'm scared. I've never felt this before." I spoke slowly and truthfully. I looked down at the floor.
"Enzo calm down. Take a deep breath. Look at your mom and dad. They did it somehow, despite the fact that they were almost killed several times and put in danger more times than I can count. So there's nothing to be afraid off. If you love her, then just love her...I can see how much she adores you." He said as he looked at me. He looked at me like I was still that little boy who he gave piggy back rides too.
"You're right uncle. I suppose nothing scared me, until I met her." I sighed and cleared my throat. We both heard laughter and a smashing sound in the kitchen. We looked at each other and quickly went to see what was going on.
"What the fuck?!" Uncle Kaden shouted as he saw Isabella with a knife in her hand. A smashed vase was on the ground and Lira bit her lip as she tried to stop laughing. "Daddy you said a bad word." Isabella giggled whilst holding the knife tightly.
"I hope you don't mind but I've been showing her how to throw knives...I'm good at teaching." Lira said as she tried to read uncle Kaden. I thought he would explode but he didn't, instead he smiled. "That's fine." He said as he looked at his daughter.
"That's fine?! Fuck what? You're just going to say just it's fine. But if I was to teach Isabella how to shoot, you'd gut me alive." I remarked shocked. "You're fucking careless. And she said she's a good teacher." He shrugged his shoulders and told Isabella to hand the knife back to Lira. I could see Lira smiling at me. Everyone seemed to have a double standard when it came to her and fuck, she could get away with anything.
"Do you still work in the Mafia?" Lira asked uncle Kaden with curiosity. "No. To be honest I wasn't overly fond of what we did. Now I'm just a family man and a business man." He replied with small smile. "Come on Isabella. If we don't go now your mommy will be very angry and we don't like it when mommy's angry do we?" Uncle Kaden said to a frowning Isabella. She twiddled her thumbs before agreeing to leave.
"Bye Enzo! Bye Lira!" Isabella shouted. She went over to Lira and gestured for her to lean down which she did. Uncle Kaden and I watched as she whispered something very quietly to Lira. "Bye Isabella." Lira waved her off from the doorstep.
"Looks like someone's upset they aren't Isabella's favourite anymore." Lira sang noticing my demeanour. I shook my head. "That's because you showed her your knife. Fuck, uncle Kaden didn't even say anything to that. He would have slapped me." I grumbled and crossed my arms.
"He would have slapped you huh? Like this?" Lira grinned with a playful glint in her eyes. She quickly slapped my ass and bit her lip. "Lira." I let out a short breath. "What? I can't slap my mans perfect ass." She remarked with a teasing brow. I grabbed ahold of her, pulling her into me. She chuckled and placed her arms around my neck. "Oh no you can slap my ass whenever you want моя любовь (my love)." I purposely spoke the last part in Russian so she wouldn't understand. I was still so fucking nervous and hesitant in telling her. What the fuck was wrong with me.
