mattia's pov
"last night.." i begin. "last night was-"
"i know what last night was," y/n finishes for me.
"so, why did you let it happen?" i ask.
y/n sighs and turns to me. "i didn't really care- you're my boyfriend."
"that didn't give me to the right to use you like that."
"mattia it was nothing that we haven't done before."
"it won't happen again," i promise.
"i love you," y/n says kissing my lips.
i smile lightly, "i love you too."
"you're gonna be late for work," she tells me. "and i have to get home."
"anything new?"
"the kingstons were spotted out of town 3 days ago," y/n informs me.
"oh shit for real?"
"yep, so we're gonna see how that goes."
"well let me know if you need help," i offer, walking up to her, "cuz i'd love to see Xavier again."
y/n chuckles. "will do. how bout you? anything new?"
"we have a new soldier name Melanie," i tell her. "she's a good soldier but i'm not gonna tell her that."
"don't be so hard on her," said y/n.
"i'm hard on everyone," i scoff.
"yes," she pecks me on the lips, "you are. i'll see you later."
"see you princess," i say as she closes the door.

"boss," a soldier comes up to me, "you told me to remind you to go to that auction?"
"oh right yes," i say putting the paperwork away.
Melanie, kairi, and alejandro walk up to me.
"simp," kairi whispers.
"you'd do the same." i roll my eyes.
"how come you never buy me a diamond necklace," alejandro pouts.
"cuz you're not the one who sucks my dick and i'm not in love with you." i finish packing up.
"i'll suck it if you want me to. all you had to do was ask.." alejandro whispers.
"i'm confused on what's going on here," melanie speaks up.
"just know that our boss isn't as tough as he seems," kairi says.
"how so?" she asks.
"kairi shut yo ass up," i shout.
"you should really see him behind the scenes," alejandro adds. "can't go a day without his 'princess'."
melanie turns to me. "you have a girlfriend ? i didn't know that."
"oh you haven't told Mel?" kairi asks, "i'm surprised you're not bragging about her."
"ha ha ha," i laugh sarcastically. "yea i have a girlfriend." i take out my phone and show my lock screen which was the photo of y/n and kobe sleeping.
"you made her your lock screen?" alejandro shouts, "my god, it's worse than we thought."
"shut up ale," i scoff, "you wanted her at one point— i ain't forget."
"oh she's beautiful," melanie says.
"i know," i agree. "and she's all mine."
melanies pov
just talking about his girlfriend made him soft. i don't know why but a part of me was disappointed to find out he had a girlfriend.
"you don't seem like the girlfriend type," i tell mattia.
"i wasnt," he says.
"he was with a different girl every night," alejandro tells me.
"yeah," kairi adds, "now he wants to be with same one the for rest of his life."
"you guys are gonna make me late to the auction," mattia rolls his eyes. "i'll see y'all later. bye."
we wave to him.
"so he's in love with her?" i ask kairi and alejandro.
"if there was a word stronger than love, it'd be that word," kairi mumbles.
"oh," i utter. "okay."

"mr polibio, welcome to the auction. here's your sign."
the worker hands me a sign with the number 75 on it.
"thank you," i tell him.
the auction was starting soon so i sat down and waited.
"mattia?" i hear a voice say.
"mariano, hey," i shake his hand. "what're you doing here?"
he takes a seat next to me. "same as you i assume. bidding on stuff."
"what do you have your eye on?" i ask.
"the diamond necklace everyone's talking about," he answers.
i chuckle. "looks like you're up against me."
mariano looks at me. "well that's unfortunate... isn't it?"
"why do you need the necklace?"
"for a birthday present," mar answers. "and you?"
"same here." i grit my teeth. "for my girlfriend. i'm sure you know her. y/n?" i say sarcastically. "who are you giving it to?"
"your girlfriend. i'm sure you know her. y/n?" mariano mocks me.
i scoff. "you wanna give my girlfriend a diamond necklace. you know how that looks right?"
he sighs. "with all due respect, mattia— does it look like i care?" i glare at him. "well may the best man win.."
i sit back against my chair. "i already won, she's my girlfriend."

"up next is the diamond necklace that has everyone all worked up," the announcer announces. "now.. do i hear an offer?
"$1000," mariano raises his sign.
"do i hear $2000?"
"$3000." i raise up my sign.
"wow $3000," the announcer says, shocked. "do i hear $4000?"
"$5000," marino says.
"do i hear $6000?"
someone in the back raised his sign. "$6000."
"do i hear $7000?"
"$7000," i repeat.
mariano glares at me. "i can do this all day."
"so can i," i answer.
the announcer speaks again, "do i hear $8000?"
"$10,000," mariano shouts.
everyone starts ooing.
"wow $10,000, do i hear any higher bids?"
"$12,000," i say. i turn to mariano, "if she's my girlfriend then i'm buying it."
marino sighs. "fine, you can have it."
i smirk.
"going once? going twice?" the announcer double checks. "sold to the gentleman in the front. number 75."
"thank you marino," i say with a hint of sarcasm.
"you're welcome mattia," mariano replies with the same energy.
i go up and retrieve the necklace they put in a jewelry box. i can't wait to give this to her.
