(VIV AND ACE'S FIT AND THE RESTAURANT ^^)
VIVIAN'S POV
"You are going on a date?!" Stella exclaimed. I told her about Alex and she hasn't stopped talking since. "Where are you going? What is he like? where did you meet him?"
"Stella. Calm down. It's just a date." I said taking a sip of my coffee. "Viv. Where is he taking you?" Stella asked.
"We are meeting at Magnolias at around 8 pm," I said. Before she could respond the doorbell rang.
"That must be Amanda," I said and answered the door. Amanda is Ethan's babysitter. I gave her a side hug as she went towards Ethan who was in the living room watching TV.
Stella grabbed my hand and took me into my bedroom. "Stella, what are you doing?" I asked once we were inside.
"We are deciding what you are going to wear." She declared and started browsing through my cupboards. Oh, this is gonna be a long evening.
*•••••••••*
After a lot of arguments and browsing, I finally decided to wear an oversized knitted white sweater tucked in a black leather skirt, with a brown long coat and black boots.
"Stella, I'm leaving," I shouted and quickly walked towards my car. I drove towards the restaurant. I parked my car a few feet away and made my way to the restaurant.
I spotted Alex once I was inside. "Hey."
"Hi. You look nice." He complimented me and hugged me. We sat down and began talking about our hobbies, lives and other things.
Suddenly a group of men walked in. They had guns and had a tattoo on their neck. All of them had the same tattoo. They led their boss to the table whose face I couldn't make out.
"Who are they?" I asked Alex. "You didn't hear? There is a new mafia in town. Run by a guy named Silas Glynn. Here is the picture of the guy."
He pulled out his phone and showed me the image of the guy. For a second I couldn't believe my eyes. I looked it at carefully and at this point my whole body was shaking. I had to leave so I checked my phone for a minute to avoid any suspicion from Alex.
I stood up from my chair. "Alex I have to go. A family emergency. Can we have a rain check on our date?" I said.
"Really?!Sure. I will drop you." He offered.
"No. I have my car. Once again I'm sorry." I apologized and rushed out of the car. I tried to have one last glance of the boss but it was really difficult to see through.
Let's just hope is not who I think he is!
*•••••••*
I was sitting in the car parked outside Ace's House contemplating whether I should ask him about this person or not. Ah, but it's sound silly that I just drove to his shitty house to ask about this person.
I let out a small groan. What's the worst that can happen? I just ask him and get the hell out of here.
I got out of the car and walked towards his front gate. I rang the doorbell and waited for someone to answer it.
After a while the gate opened and Sawyer was standing there. Maybe I can just ask him. He might know who it is.
"Miss Hale?"He asked shocked. "Hi... Umm, do you know about any new Mafia in town?" I mumbled.
"Sawyer who's at the door?" I heard Ace's voice from inside. "Miss Hale.sir." He responded. "Vivian." He breathed. Coming beside Sawyer.
"She was just asking about the new Mafia in town," Sawyer said and left. He looked me up and down. "Stop checking me out!" I exclaimed and he smirked.
"Why do you want to know about Silas Glynn?" He asked tilting his head. "I just thought I might know him. But sure it's nothing."I said. Taking a step back. "I'm gonna go now."
"Tell me." He demanded. "I told you it's nothin'.... Jeez... I just thought I might be related to him." I said irritated. "How so..?"
"Show me his picture if you have any. And it will be a great help if it's a clear image." I said. He pulled out his phone and started scrolling through his photos. He leaned on the doorframe and showed me the picture he chose.
"Are you sure this is Silas Glynn?" I asked. My hands were a little shaky as I handed him over the phone and pulled out mine.
I scrolled through my photos till the end. Because I only had one picture of him, My dad, and it was very old. I clicked on it and handed him the phone.
"What is it, Vivian?"
"I think Silas Glynn might be George Hale. My dad!"
