Attraction

t h i r t y-f o u r // connections with mafia

Please read author's note at the end!

I pay the cab and rush inside the two floored modern house in front of me. Liam's place was indeed beautiful. It was homey with artistic touches.

I had been to his house numerous times as the third wheel. The house had a huge main hall, three bedrooms, a cinema room (where I would go and mostly play video games as the wifi was amazing there.) , a pool, a gym and also a pristine looking kitchen.

I see Liam pacing around looking quite worried. He was swearing and his shirt was a mess, suit thrown on the ground.

"What's wrong? Where's Natalie?" I ask trying to calm my beating heart.

"She's in the bathroom. She was crying and.. and then she locked her self in. I don't know what to do!" He looked like he was going to break down. I gave him a comforting hug.

I walk to the bathroom and can hear Natalie's sobbing. I knock twice and said, "Nat open up its me Emily."
After I hear some sniffles and shuffling the door opens. I make my way in and close the door behind me.

Natalie looked like a mess. Her eyes are red, cheeks puffed up and even her dress was messed up. She and Liam had a date night today and all I could wonder is what the hell happened that caused things to end up like this?

I help her to stand up. She washes her face and blows her stuffy nose. It would be awkward standing there if it was someone else but as it was Natalie I don't feel weirded at all. We have seen each other at ones best and worsts. She looks fresh and wipes her face with the towel and stops crying,only sniffing now and then. She is sitting on the edge of the bath tub while I am sitting on the sink counter.

"You okay? Do you want to talk about it?" I ask hesitating.

"He asked me to move in with him." She whispered.

"That's great news Nat!" I hug her. "I'm scared." She speaks.

Natalie has issues. Her parents divorced when she was in third grade. She saw her parents fall out of love with each other and fall in love with other people. Trust and love was something she was terrified of.

The time she was actually able to open up and trust someone, the person betrayed her. In college she thought she loved and when she went to confess, she found him cheating on her with his ex. That broke her.

Aaron did manage to beat him up. I also bashed him on social media. It was a hard time for Natalie. Slowly and steadily Nat was able to recover.

I know she loved Liam. She knew it too. She was scared of committing again, scared to be left out again.

"Natalie, Liam's good for you. You know he won't leave you. I see the way he looks at you. I know he is good for you." I said.

"I'm broken. He deserves someone way better." She muttered.

"Oh shut up! Be selfish for once! He is worried sick about you. Talk to him. I'm sure he will understand. He should love you no matter what." I advised.

She nodded and walked out with me. Liam upon seeing her , rushed to her side, kind of pushing me aside and hugged her into a tight hug.

I could hear them whisper and talk and not wanting to intrude their personal moment, I walked and left the room, deciding to wait out in the main hall.

I sat on the sofa, playing some games and after forty five minutes or so, both of them came out, clothes changed, lips swollen.

"Eww seriously you guys had sex with each other when I was in the next room?" I groaned.

"What? You wanted to join?" Liam wiggled his eyebrows and blushing Nat socked him in the shoulder.

"Can I go? I can't stand you both anymore." I got up, putting my phone into my pocket.

"Yeah okay bye! You know where the door is." Liam teasingly said.

I looked at him jaw wide open and eyes narrowed. I help him and this is how he treats me?

"Liam!" Natalie laughs and glares mockingly.

"I was joking! You girls can't even take a joke." He muttered under his breath and grabbed his keys to his BMW.

"You stay and rest. I will drop her and come." Liam said leaning down to kiss Natalie. I gagged and made a fake puking sound.

"Emy!" Natalie screams at me now, annoyed.

"Ok geez! I will be waiting outside while you finish eating each other's faces." I shuddered raising my hands up in mocking defense and waited beside his car.

He comes out jogging and unlocks the car. Being a gentleman, he opens the door for me to slide in.

"Now that she is moving in with you, does that mean I get to come to? I mean me and Natalie are a package, buy one get one free!" I joked.

He rolls his eyes and said, "She didn't agree to move in with me. I mean she said she will like stay over for a few nights but isn't ready to move in. And that she doesn't want to leave you all alone." He smiled.

Wait what? After giving her a lecture on how Liam is perfect for Natalie, she didn't say yes. I mentally slap myself. Well at least she loves me and thought of not leaving me all alone.

"Well I never did get to threaten you so here it is." I turn and face him and said sternly, "You hurt her, you die. A single scratch on her, I tear you apart. I have spies everywhere. I'll be watching each and every move of yours. I have connections with the mafia so beware!" I narrow my eyes at him.

He does look a little scared and nods his head. "Roger that."

"Good boy!" I exclaimed with a smile and I ruffle his hair. He muttered along the lines 'help me from this crazy bitch' but I pretended not to hear.

He drops me off and I go remove my clothes, freshen up and fall back onto the bed waiting for sleep to come to me.

The chapter was a filler only.  I have two chapters written in my drafts and those may include Emrry moments *wink* I don't exactly like this book and I am putting more focus on my other two books as I have started writing them recently and my writing is better now. Those two stories are the ones I prefer to read as well as write as compared to this. I really hope you guys do check out those two books too.

I started this book when I was around 13 so I find the story really cringy but for you guys I'll keep writing. This book will have its updates but

I'll be keeping goals and only then if it's accomplished I'll update.

Do share your thoughts so I know that you are liking the story, or else I don't exactly have a reason to update this book.

Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter and don't forget!
