THE MAFIA'S PRINCESS

Chapter 4

"Okay.... That's what you say but I'm still not convinced. So what are you going to do now. You know its hard to get a job here in New York, right? " Kenny ask me as he scoops a large amount of ice cream and tries to put it in his mouth causing it to smear all over his face. I giggle. He's so adorable.

"I don't know Ken, mom's gonna be disappointed. I get a job and loose it the next day? I can't tell her Ken, she's going through so much now. Her job's not stable yet. I'd do anything I find." I say honestly.

Kenny cocks his eyebrows and starts smiling. I know he's about to say something silly. "Even sucking a dick?"

I slap his shoulder. "Eww, that's gross. I feel like vomiting right now."

He's laughing like a maniac right now. Its so funny for him. "You're such a baby, Avatia. I still remember when I had to tell you 'dick' is 'penis'. You're 21 and still a virgin. An innocent one that has never even been fingered. Gosh baby sis, you're____"

I slap him again. "Stop Ken, that's disgusting. Urghhh, you need to leave now cause that mouth won't shut up anytime from now, will it? "

He's still laughing. This best cousin of mine. Urghh. "Stop what munckin? You're so beautiful. The most beautiful girl I know. You need to get hitched, you know? "

I stand up and pull him with all my strength but he doesn't move an inch. He's so big. "Get up big cat. Get your big butt off my couch and go. I'll see you tomorrow "

"Fine baby, I'ma go cause my boyfriend is waiting for this big butt to have a good time. So bye sweetheart."

And with that, he left. Left me to my thoughts that keep drifting back to the silver eyed Greek god instead of thinking of a new job.

I wake up the next morning to the smell of freshly baked lemon cake. Mommy's such a good baker and this smell, ooohhh...... I could drown in it. I walk to my bathroom and brush my teeth, do my morning business and walk to my small closet. I choose to wear a cream white sweater and violet mini skirt tagged along with a light black legging. In senior high, I got the class award in fashion. I look at myself in the mirror and smile. I'll just go down to the newspaper store and get to look for a job.

"Mommy " I say as I walk into the kitchen.

She turns and looks at me giving me a lovely smile. "My baby, you look good sweetheart. Are you off to work? "

My smile falters a little. I can't believe I'm going to have to lie to mom. I simply nod.

She runs her fingers through her hair. "Honey, I might be staying long nights at the hospital. There's a lot of work and we need the money."

I walk to her and hug her. "Its okay mom, I'm big. I can take care of myself." I put a piece of cake in my mouth and moan at how good it is. "Its delicious mom. Let's eat so you won't be late."

We sit and eat while sharing small talk. Once I was done, I stood up and kissed mom goodbye. "See you later and take care. I love you mom."

I walked out into the warm air of New York. I guess I'll just walk a bit before hailing a cab. A couple of minutes later, a nice black SUV pulled up in front of me.

I groaned. Not again. I'm tired of seeing expensive black cars everyday. They never end well.

This time, a different guy stepped out. He was good looking with brown eyes and brown hair. "Hi Kim."

Oh, so he knows my name? Great. I keep quiet and wait for him to say something else other than 'Hi Kim'.

"I'm Roberto Cameo and my boss has a job for you." He said and I couldn't miss out on his Italian accent. Why do they all have that particular accent?

I look at him like he's grown two other heads. "Who are you? "

He smiles a bit. "Boss was right when he said you're naïve. I already told you who I am. Roberto. Remember? "

I have to smile too. His smile is contagious and he seems friendly. "Fine, who's your 'boss'? " I ask emphasizing on boss.

"How about you find out yourself. Don't bother, I don't have a gun and the Job's legal." He says raising his huge hands to show me he's not having a gun. "Just come with me."

I rolled my eyes. "You must be out of your mind if you think I'll just follow you."

He chuckled. "I actually didn't expect you to just come with me. But you need a job and my boss can offer you one."

I think a bit. "How do you know I need a job? How do I even know you're not going to kidnap me? "

This time, he laughed like I said the most funny thing on earth. "How'll I kidnap you? You're 21 so I can only 'adultnap' you. But either ways, its going to look like kidnapping since you have a baby face and you're really small."

Okay, that freaked me out. How does he know my age? "How do you know my age? If anything, you're scaring me." I told him.

He chuckled. "Adam sent me." He said easily.

I thought about it for a while. "Okay, fine. I'd go with you but so you know, I have my pepper spray."

He smiled down at me like I was some 2 year old. "Its fine with me little one, but hey, you don't tell a kidnapper that you've got your pepper spray, okay? "

I just smile and get into the car with him. I hope I don't regret this. After all, I need a job.
