One Way (Mafia Romance)

46| Promise Ring

M A T T E O' S  P O V

I GRUNT AS I REMOVE the sweaty boxing gloves out of my hand.

Today's match went fucking crazy. Did I beat up three bodies on roll? Yes. Would I do it again? Hell yeah.

Now what do I mean by this? Well let me just answer that unanswered question.

Today I dedicated my whole morning into the boxing ring, of course, but this is because I found some new challengers who thought they can beat me.

Guess who had the walk of shame? Not me, for sure. It was embarrassing for them as they were all bloody and bruised. I felt the second hand embarrassment.

This fight was fair and no cheats, I simply happen to win.

Now I finished taking my gloves off and I am about to drive home to take my clothes off and shower.

I did already change out of my regular clothes to a tank top—or sleeveless top as some may call it.

"Good job, boss!" Benjamin called out walking in the private room.

I nodded, "fuckers thought they'd win."

"For real, imagine if they won though, that would be so embarrassing." He cringed and laughed.

I rolled my eyes and picked up my duffel bag, "shut the fuck up and let's leave."

"Ay ay boss's order." He saluted and followed me while muttering how cool it looked when I punched the opponents.

We finally made it to my mansion and I immediately bolted upstairs to my room to shower. Sweat is healthy but disgusting.

Sighing in relief as the cold water hit me I thought about the past week.

Time is flying by so fast it's like I have to catch up on each blown wind. By this I mean how two weeks have gone by.

Life's simply going by fast but slow, I remember what happened recently but it feels like it happened forever ago.

On serious notes, I think this reason because my mom came up to me, yesterday, and told me I should give Victoria a promise ring for now and a marriage ring whenever the time comes.

But she specifically said; "Figlio, dovresti davvero metterle un anello al dito. È davvero una brava ragazza e l'abbiamo visto entrambi. Solo perché le hai chiesto di uscire non significa che gli altri non ci proveranno, quindi per avvertimento—questa ovviamente è una tua scelta—dico di mettere un anello di promessa per ora."

Yes. This is exactly what she said with confidence.
No I know she meant it in a nice way but it seems as Victoria is what something should be claimed, which is completely false.

I do treat my girl everyday and if I miss a day, I make up for it the next day with a hundred more things.

We have hanged our everyday—or tried too—and it's not just the material love but the whole heartily as well.

This is why it feels like we've been together since forever and I know for now I am ready to put that promise ring on her, I do strongly believe that no matter what I will marry her.
