Rose And The Mafia (Editing)

Chapter 28: The Big News

She strides towards me and I sigh. She sits on my lap and turns my head so I look at her. "Have you not been getting sex lately?" She giggles and kisses my jaw, again. If only she knew.

I stand up with her in my arms but I throw her on the sofa. "Laurena I'm not in the mood for this."

I try going into the kitchen, but something pulls on my arm. "You can't keep doing this Giovanni! I'm done with you leaving me on the side. I'm not one of your whores, you know? Your dad likes me and both our dads make business together. We don't need to have secrets between us. We grew up together." She shakes her head as I sigh heavily.

I place my hand on her left cheek and turn her head my way.

I don't have feelings for her but she's right. We grew up together, well kind of, but she was there for me when I needed someone to talk to. But that was ages ago, she's nothing to me now. The only reason why I need to put up with her now is because of her father. Her father and mine are good friends now. My father makes me stay with her, and he wants me to do anything to make her happy.

"Laurena you're not trash-"

"Of course I'm not trash I never said I was." She crosses her arms and looks away. Well I was trying to be sincere but fuck that.

I take my hand off her cheek which makes her whimper. "Laurena what the Fuck do you want then? Why are you here?"

"Our fathers want to see us. They have something that they want to talk to us about. So we're having dinner at your father's." She grabs her purse and strides towards the door. "See you later babe." She purrs and leaves. I avert my eyes from the door as I hear Nick and Luca coming out of the kitchen.

Nick whistles and chuckles. "That sounded intense and sounded something like she always says. She tries too hard." He scoffs and takes a bite of an apple.

Luca smacks Nick on the back of his head and sighs. "Boss why do you think you're going to your father's? He usually calls you when there's deals that need to be taken care of."

"I'm not sure." But I can think of many reasons, why he would call me..

"I don't care what you think. I like Lana more than Laurena. She doesn't try too hard and is funnier." Nick mumbles as he rubs his head.

I chuckle and lay down on the long sofa. If Lana founds out that I'm still with Laurena she'll kill me, just by ignoring me, and I hate the silent treatments that she always gives me.

Nick throws himself on the sofa and turns on the T.V. "Let's just hope it's something good."

~~~~~~~~

I open the door of my father's house, with Luca and Nick behind me. The air smells like something that would smell like inside an Italian restaurant. I enter the kitchen and try taking a garlic bread but my father comes at the perfect time to take away the bread.

"Son the dinner is in the room where we always have it, in the dining room. Luca, Nick, it's nice to see the both of you."

We all walk into the dining room and we find Laurena and her parents already seated.

"Giovanni it's so nice to see you." Laurena's mother says as I head her way to hug her.

"Same, Mrs. Amico." I also walk to Laurena's father and give him a handshake. "Mr. Amico, it's nice to see you too."

I take a sit next to Laurena since it's the only sit available, and we're "together."

"How have you been treating my daughter, Giovanni?" Mr. Amico asks

"I've.." to be honest I've been treating her like trash, and I don't feel bad about it.

"He's been treating me like a Princess daddy." Laurena giggles and places her hand on mine. I give her smile and give her hand a gentle squeeze.

"Is that so?"

"Of course sir. Your daughter is someone who needs to be taken care of." Again I smile at Laurena, and she smiles back. "I will do anything to put a smile on her face, even take a shot for her. I don't care what it takes."

"Really?" Mr. Amico's eyebrows shoot up and nods slowly, then nods at my father.

One of the cooks pour champagne in each of our glass, then leaves to the direction of the kitchen.

"Well Giovanni you already know us and we didn't just call this dinner for you to tell me about you and my daughter's relationship. Your father and I have decided that you should marry Laurena."

As soon as those words come out of his mouth I start to choke on my drink. I couldn't spit it out or else it would have landed on Mrs. Amico, so I had to hold it in.

"Marry?!" I look at both, my father and at Laurena's father.

"Son you are twenty-two. You will soon take my place as the capo of the mafia and I need you to have a beautiful wife like Laurena and have beautiful children and your future boy will take over. Think about it." My dad smiles at me, which is the first, and quickly asks the cook to hurry with the food.

"Giovanni, your dad is right. You need to pass on the family treasure. Your father and I are good friends and I'll make sure to pass my side of the mafia to yours. It will be bigger, imagine that. You'll have more power, and money." He grins and chuckles. "This is the best idea we've ever had huh, Stephano?"

I eat my food in silence while my dad and Mr. Amico, talk. I glance at Laurena and she surprises me when she smiles sadly at me.

I can't marry her. But if I do marry her than I will have double the men. I could be the most powerful men in the world. My dad is right, but it couldn't have been someone else? Someone less annoying.

And then I won't be able to sleep with other women.

What am I going to do about Lana? Though I doubt she'll care, it's not like she loves me and I for sure don't like her . . .but yesterday that proved me wrong. I think I felt something between us. No your wrong Giovanni. Didn't you see when she had glassy eyes? Forget about it and think about this. It was probably the sex. She was good at that, I'll give her credit.

Maybe I will marry Laurena. I'll finally move out of my father's and into a mansion and come home to a home cooked meal and kids. My kids.

. . . But Lana's big brown eyes keep popping in my head.

I'm not sure what I want anymore but I'll have to find out soon. Really soon.
