Domenico POV
"Hey Livy, how are you doing? Did you work late again?" I gawked at my uncle treating this girl like his child.
"Hey Marco, it is always good when I get to see you." She takes out a container and hand it to him. "I unfortunately had to fill in for a colleague but luckily, I am off this weekend though. This is your favorite, hope you enjoy" she smiled, and I went in for another hug.
He patted her on the back while hugging her back "You are just what my soul wanted" he says releasing her from his grip then looking inside the container salivating. "Thank you, my darling,". I'm still flabbergasted standing here in shock, looking at my uncle's interaction with this girl. He's a ruthless man and people that don't know him never gets treated like this. How does he know this girl?
"No, problem, I have never seen a night owl who loved chocolate cake that much" she says while throwing her head backwards as she started to laugh.
She turns her head to the side and looked at Luca and me. She immediately stopped laughing as if she is only noticing us now. We just stood there looking at her. Luca who is always the talkative one also seemed to be mute. It seems as though she's trying to read us.
Uncle Marco then clears his throat ending our staring match. "Livy, this is my sister's son Domenico" he points to me, and this is his best friend, Luca"
She stretches out her hand "Nice to meet you" she smiles at us and nod "I'm Olivia" she says.
I internally nod but cannot bring myself to shake her hand. What is wrong with me. This woman must get out of my sight. She probably thinks I'm rude, but I really don't care. It would be in her best interest to stay away from me.
Luca takes her hand though and shake it. I however start to glare at her. Why? I have no clue and it's like this woman put a spell on me. I'm probably not use to this type of woman.
"I think I should head home" She announced and turned her attention to Marco. "It is late, and my bed is calling my name" she said.
"Ok, get home safe" Marco says while giving her a pat on the shoulder.
"Thanks Marco, I'll see you next week, same spot" she smiled and gave us a waive and started to walk.
Our stares however remained on her until she was a good distance away from us. Marco turned his attention to us, but gave me a look of disdain.
"What was your reason for being that rude toward my angel?" He asked me with no smile whatsoever on his face. He looks pissed.
I counter and ask out of curiosity "Why are you getting so worked up about a girl on the street or is she family of ours that I'm not aware of."
"No dummy, she is almost like a daughter I never had. She is kind and friendly and I make sure to be here when she pass the club to safely because you never know where the creeps are lurking here. I even got her manager to notify me when she's working, but she doesn't know about that. These streets might look safe at night, but they are all but safe." He says.
"She looks hot. Did you see that body?" Luca said while looking my way.
Uncle Marco smacked him on his head. "You idiot, touch her and you won't see the light of day. She is too innocent for you lot" he pointed his finger in front of our faces.
I rarely chuckle but couldn't hold my laughter. My mind is running a million miles. What if she is trying to infiltrate our Mafia? What if she is trying to get information? "So, what's her story?" I asked trying to figure how she fit's into his life.
He answers almost immediately, dropping the frown from his face as he starts talking about her with a soft expression. "Well, she has been working at the diner down the road for a good few months now. I know her dad is a businessman from what she told me, but she does not have any relationship with him, and she didn't go into detail about him. She lives in a flat on her own, two streets away and she has a heart of gold. She sometimes comes and sit here for a few and always bring me my favorite cake once a week from the place she works at. She is not aware that I only come here when she is working".
He sits and sighs then continue. "She is just precious and it's not something I can put into words. So, that's my story with her and if I ever were to have a child, she would be it. Just so you know, your aunt knows her. We saw her one time in a grocery store, and she almost wanted to kidnap her. So, I told her about our friendship" The old man chuckle while talking about her as if he's in a dream.
After that explanation, she must be special to him then.
"Does she have a boyfriend? And how old is she?" Luca asks.
"She is nineteen and I expect you to stay away from her. She is not one of your whores, she's too innocent for your lifestyles" Uncle Marco says while giving us a pointed look.
"Hey, don't look at me. I'm not into that." I put up my hands in surrender. Even though she piques my interest, but no-one has to know.
"I wouldn't mind. She may look innocent, but you know what they say about girls that come across as innocent" Luca says. He just had to dig a hole for himself.
"You would go for anything, with the emphasis on anything, but you will stay away from her, or I'll kill you myself. You" Uncle Mario turns to me "stop laughing at his shit before I loose my shit with you thick heads. Both of you are not too old for a beating" Uncle Mario says with a pissed look splayed on his face.
I immediately stop chuckling because he is starting to lose his patience with us and I won't be able to hit him back, I have too much respect for him. "Come Luca stop this. Let's go and do a surprise visit at the warehouses" I say as I tap him on the shoulder.
"That's good then. Are you leaving after this is done? How long will you be here in town?" Uncle Mario asks.
"No, we might stay here permanently but we'll still see how things go" I say as i run my hand through my hair for the millionth time today.
"Ok, you boys should stay safe then. Ill see you around a lot anyways".
We bid our goodbyes and left. Now we must do our surprise visits at our warehouses. Some people thought that they could slack because we were not in the country. So, it is time I wake them up and clean house.
