Yeah yeah I know Leo and I have a problem. We had sex even when we were all bruised up. Groans and moans were mostly of pain and not pleasure but guess who has a pain kink? The Doberman.
Moving on, the next morning, I helped him sneak out of the house because if my parents would've seen him, they would've made a big fuss about it.
"Lea, come down to have breakfast!" Mom called.
"Be right down, ma!" I replied as I tied my hair up and waddled downstairs. My legs were kinds sore. Ugh I hope mama doesn't notice.
I walked downstairs to see Emma and Jay seated on the dining table and my mom waiting by.
"Morning people" I wished. "Where's papa?"
"Morning honey. He had a consignment to check on" Mom said as she served me a plate of avacado toast.
"Morning sleepy head" Emma whished. "Morning Azzy" Jay chewed on his toast.
"Jay no one has called me that in ages" I shook my head and sat down.
"Well it's high time we bring it back" he laughed.
"Please don't ugh I hate that name" I said in disgust as I took a bite out of the toast.
"Also, you look a little sore" Emma winked suggestively.
"Yeah she's probably sore from helping Leo sneak out of her window" Mom laughed ever so calmly, as if it was a daily thing.
"Uh what are you talking about?" I asked, cluelessly.
"Lea you're an assassin, you're trained to be quieter than that" she shook her head.
Oh shit. She knows.
Emma and Jay burst out laughing, almost choking on their food.
"Shut up" I scolded as I ate my food in sheer embarassment.
"Goodmorning family" The door flung open.
It was Leo. The hell is he doing here?
"Morning Mr. I climb out of windows" Jay teased.
*cough* *cough* "What the hell?" He widened his eyes at me.
"Don't look at Lea, Vienna saw you sneak out." Jay went on.
"Well fuck" he facepalmed.
"Language young man" Mom said, sternly.
"Sorry" he rubbed his neck as he walked to me and stood behind me, holding the top of my chairs with his hands.
"Do you wanna eat?" Mom asked him.
"Looks delicious but I've already had breakfast, thanks" He replied.
I picked up my toast to his mouth and he took a bite out of it. He gestured to me that he didn't want more so I took it back and ate the rest.
The rest of them looked at us, smirking and surprised.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing, carry on" Jay laughed.
"Okay I've gotta go now" Emma stood up.
"Where to?" Mom asked.
"Oh you don't know? She has a playdate with Matteo"
"Don't call it that! We're just gonna train together"
"Since when do you train this early?" Jay laughed.
"Y'all are the worst, I'm leaving" She huffed as she stormed off.
"Have fun on your playdate!" I yelled.
"Stop calling it that!" she yelled back.
"Okay I just got a text from your dad. You have a mission but this time you're going with Leo" Mom informed.
"What? why him?"
"Excuse me?" Leo said to me in an offended tone.
"Stop whining. I've sent you the details" She said and left the room.
[At the gym] [Emma's pov]
I went to the gym to train with Matteo and when I tell you I HATE working out. I only train with Lea sometimes becauses she forces me to but that's probably like twice every week which is VERY LESS for someone who is in the mafia. I saw him standing near the cycle things in basketball shorts and a jersey. His tattoos were popping out and his hair was a little wet. Probably from sweat I don't know. Anyways, so I walked over to him and kept my bag next to his on the bench.
"Morning bella" he greeted.
"Morning testa di cazzo"
"Let's train shall we?"
"Bring it on big guy"
As we were sparring, I don't know where he got the idea from but he swooped my feet off the ground and I fell on him.
"Matt what the hell?!"
"Now I see why Leo keeps making Lea fall on him" He grinned.
"You're an idiot you know that?"
"I'm sure you're right but you've gotta give me credit. It was pretty smooth"
"Which part of kicking my feet off the ground and falling was smooth to you?"
He laughed at my remark. I smacked his head and stood up.
"Look I'm not dumb like Leo so I'll just come right out and say it. I like you. Like really like you. Will you go on a date with me?" he confessed.
"As long as you let me split the bill with you, I'm in" I giggled.
"As you wish bella"
Back to Azalea:
[About 8pm]
"C'mon Lea! Move your ass downstairs!" Leo called.
"Patience Leonardo. Patience!" I barked back as I walked downstairs. "Let's go"
We reached an abandoned dumpyard in about 30-40 minutes. We tip-toed inside and found a brunette, about 5'9" yelling at a guy. His name was Juan and he was our target tonight.
I signaled Leo to come with and I soon came out of hiding.
"Stop yelling at the poor guy Juan" I smacked my lips.
"Who the hell are you two?!" He asked, startled.
"Your favourites. Blaze and Doberman" Leo smirked at him.
"Arghh" he raged as he shot my arm. I groaned but shot back at his men.
"Wrong move motherfucker" Leo clenched his jaws and shot at Juan. A bullet throught the skull and Juan was on the floor.
He shot the rest of them while my arm went numb in pain.
Leo tightly wrapped a handkerchief around the wound to stop the blood flow and quickly marched up to Juan, bent down and carved something on his arm. Wait... carved something? What sort of psychopathic behaviour is this? Is that some kind of signature he leaves behind? Eh maybe.
"Let's get you to the hospital" He ran back to me, picking me up in his embrace and taking me to the car.
"What the fuck are you doing?" I asked.
"Carrying you to the car" he answered.
"My arm is hurt you idiot. I can walk" I facepalmed.
"Still gonna carry you" He laughed.
I shook my head and laughed at his stupidity.
He drove me to the hospital and wanted to call my parents. I told him not to because I know they'll turn the city upside down if they get to know that I was shot. After I was all fixed, patched up, we left from the hospital and drove back to my house.
[At a random warehouse] [Nate's pov]
"Ugh he shot Azalea instead of Leo!" I groaned.
"She was just shot in the arm, chill" Scarlett tried to calm me.
"He could've missed dammit!" I roared. "His job was to shoot Leo. He couldn't even do that properly"
"Why did you want to kill Leo so early anyways? Didn't you have like a bigass plan"
"I didn't want to kill him. Just wanted to hurt him a little for the sake of terror" I lowered my pitch. "My plan hasn't even begun yet and don't worry, I'll be taking my sweet time to execute this. Today I saw something which has modified my plan a little bit"
Back to Azalea:
Guess whose parents went crazy when they heard that their daughter was shot?
I'm not even gonna try to explain it. Anyways, Emma was back from her playdate which took longer than it should've but who am I to judge?
"So, how was your-"
"Lea I swear to god if you call it a playdate one more time, I'll punch you right in the face"
"Okay okay chill. How was your "training" " I air-quoted.
"It was great actually. We went to uhh a nice restaurant after that"
"He asked you out to a date didn't he?"
"What? Uh why would you say that?"
"Oh he definitely did! Girl he took you out for a date and you didn't think it was important to tell me?! Since when have you started hiding stuff from me"?"
"Stop being so dramatic, I was gonna tell you" she scoffed.
"Sure you were" I rolled my eyes. "So are you two a thing now?" I went on.
"I don't know yet. I do like him though" She blushed.
"Aw aren't you two adorable?"
"Shut up! You tell me.. what's going on with ; Leo and you?"
"Nothing's going on"
"Man you can really lie" She shook her head.
"I'm not sure, I'm just going with the flow and also I'm not sure if he feels anything"
"Lea honey are you blind?! He is head over heels for you!"
That's exactly what I'm scared of. He has been getting attacked every other day since he's been with me. I'm putting him in more danger than he already is. Dad really had to be a jerk and make so many enemies. I dunno what's going on but I can't lose Leo. I can't.
To be continued...
I hope y'all liked the chapter! Matteo and Emma are getting cute and Leo and Lea...well they're Leo and Lea. Anyways, what do you think Nate is planning? What do you think will happen next? Keep reading to find out ;) ILYSMM xx
