I smiled before turning to him "I would love that."

He walked over to me and gave me one of his bear hugs before exiting the room. I finished my hair and headed a pair of stud earrings and a neckless to top off the look. I slid on my black heels and put my gun strap around my leg before sliding my gun into it.

I made my way down the stairs and took my father's keys off hook, he wouldn't need them anyways and besides, he still owed me a car. I got inside the car and drove to the restaurant where Noah had agreed to meet me at.

My heart was hammering in my chest and I couldn't understand why. I was so nervous that my hand was shaking on the stirring wheel. I took deep breaths to try and calm my nerves before pulling into the parking lot. The restaurant was fairly public and I doubted Noah would try to pull a stunt in front of all these people.

I took a deep breath before getting out of the car and headed inside the restaurant. I was greeted by a friendly waiter and he guided me to a booth in the back where Noah was already seated, my heart beat became crazy as I sat across from him and I was breathing a little heavier now.

The waiter took our orders before finally leaving us alone.

"You look lovely," Noah said as he examined my face.

"Let's just get to the point, what do you want," I said

He chuckled once before sitting back in his seat and looking back at me with those beautiful pale blue eyes that always seemed to leave me breathless whenever I looked at them.

"I told you I just wanted to discuss business with you, I think combining our mafias would make us unstoppable."

I laughed and it caused a few heads to turn in our direction. "You're kidding right?"

He furrowed his eyebrows and shook his head "No, I'm not."

"I would never join forces with you."

"Never say never." He said as he leaned up in his seat. Suddenly his hand was on my thigh and he had slipped out the gun I had tried to hide. "You won't be needing this."

I went to say something but he rose his finger at me "I'm not trying to set you up."

"Then give it back to me," I said through gritted teeth.

He laughed at my reaction before putting the gun in his pants. I felt my face heat up as I became angrier by the second. It bothered me that I had no weapon to protect me from him, I was livid and was trying my best to keep my cool, I didn't want to make a scene in front of these people but he was pushing my buttons now.

"Calm down," Noah said while smirking. He placed his hand on my knee to stop it from bobbing up and down but I slapped his hand away.

He was just opening his mouth to say something when there was a huge explosion that threw us both across the room. I landed on my back and Noah landed on his side, other people began to scream in fear as they tried to hurry from the scene.

I rolled over to face Noah who slid the gun to me and I hurried to grab it. He pulled out his gun and we both got up to our feet and tried to see who the invader was through the smoke.

About a dozen of men appeared each had weapons. I looked over to Noah and he smiled at me knowingly.

"Let's see how good you are." He asked before charging at the guys.

I was right behind him, dodging all of the bullets and hits that were thrown at me. I started to fire my gun and took down about five men. When I turned one of them grabbed me around the waist and threw me back. I landed on my feet, however, and shot him in the back causing her to fall to the ground.

I turned to see if Noah needed help but he had already taken down the rest of the guys and was staring at me with an unreadable expression.

I rose my gun to him and gritted my teeth. "I told you no tricks Petrov"

He rose his hand but still had a smile on his face "These weren't my men Ricci."

I scoffed at him before turning back to the meant, he was right they weren't his men they had a certain tattoo that told what Mafia they were from. The Mexican Mafia, I furrowed my eyebrows the Italian and Mexican Mafia weren't exactly allies but they never were rivals either. I was confused as to why they had chosen to attack.

"We have to go," I said to Noah who was also examining the bodies.

He nodded his head and tucked his gun away. He turned towards the crowd of people who were staring at us with wide eyes "Yeah, we should hurry."

We bolted for the exit. I headed to my car and Noah headed to his.

"Where are you going? We're taking my car." I said.

He laughed "No we're taking mine."

I glared at him and crossed my arms, seeing that we were both stubborn we would be standing here for a while if one of us didn't crack, and certainly wouldn't be me. He glared back at me with a hint of a smirk on his face, I wanted to wipe that smirk right off.

"Hey come back!" One of the waiters shouted causing us to turn our heads in his direction.

Noah let out a defeated sigh before running over to my car and climbing in. I smiled before climbing into the car and pulling out of the parking lot. The smile remained on my face as Noah grumbled and mumbled under his breath while crossing his arms.
