Human hands!
I screamed and the attacker came up.
"I scared you?" he asked
"Damanico." I breathed "You scared the hell out of me."
"Sorry babe." he smiled "I'm glad we're together. I love you."
"I love you too." I smiled back at him
I said it but I didn't feel it. I didn't feel the sparks and butterflies I wanted to feel. But what the heck! I had one sexy mafia boyfriend!!
Edit: Damien is now a Sanchez instead of Alessandro.
Damanico and I have been dating for a month now and it's been three months since I've moved in the mansion.
"I like pizza more than burgers." I said as we sat on his bed one Saturday night
"Really?" he asked me taking a pretzel out the bag in my hand
"Yeah." I answered "You? Between cheese sandwiches and BTLs?"
"BTL." he answered "I hate cheese."
"We're going to disagree there." I warned "I'm in love with cheese. I got married to him since the first day I tasted him."
Damanico laughed
"So what about me?" he joked "You left me out into the cold?"
"Yes I did?"
"Why?"
"Because you said you hated my husband."
"I take it back then."
"Fine then I'll take you back."
He came close to me and kissed my cheek. I left him to get ready for his night shift and went downstairs to where the boys were popping bottles of champagne with a few other men and Neveah was kissing one of them who had he pinned on the wall.
"What's so good that I wasn't invited?" I asked putting my hands on my hips
"Well for one thing the money issue is half solved." Geovanni said
I looked at him confused.
"Already?" I asked
"After three weeks of hard work we managed to catch the thieves and they're under lock and chains in the underground prison at a secret location." Cristiano explained
"Good job." I said giving them a thumbs up and they laughed.
I looked at Xavier. He was a really honest and cool person and I felt myself getting closer to Xavier. Xavier noticed me looking at him and motioned me over and I came.
"You love strawberries, right?" he asked me putting am arm around my waist
I felt the butterflies invading from his touch.
GOSH Xavier! You're touch is killing me!
"Yeah why?" I raised an eyebrow
"Here." he said handing me his glass of champagne
I smiled and found myself taking it from him and drinking some.
"Don't drink all." he scolded me while I took another mouthful
"You gave me so it's your loss." I said sticking my tongue out at him.
"I regret that drink thief." he teased me
I smiled at him. He took hold of my wrist and took a drink from the glass. He then had a conversation with the boys in Italian and they started laughing.
"Ciao Royalty." Neveah said kissing my cheek
"Ciao." I greeted her back "You seemed pretty occupied a while ago."
She laughed.
"That's my boyfriend Damien Sañchez, Geovanni's cousin." she said pointing to him
Damien was really good looking. His eyes were dark and intense like Geovanni's. His hair was a very curly light brown mass and he had a fun easy-going aura. I liked him instantly.
I moved my eyes to Xavier and Cristiano and Neveah caught what I meant.
"Yeah they know." she whispered to me "They don't mind at all."
I nodded. Neveah looked down at my waist.
"What's going on with you and Xavier?" she asked me slyly pointing to his hand around my waist.
I went red but just then Damanico walked into the kitchen and I hadn't realized him until Neveah told me.
"On no!" she said
"What?" I asked
"Don't look now but look over my shoulder and don't make eye contact with the boy." she said
I did as she said and gasped when I saw Damanico but pretended not to see him.
Shit! Now he'll think I was cheating on him but I love being in Xavier's arms and right now this is the closet I've gotten to him and I don't want to end it.
"Damanico." I groaned softly
"What's wrong?" Xavier turned to me
He looked at me in concern and I stared up into the ocean in his eyes. His gaze was intimidating and warm and I felt relaxed in his arms. I didn't want to end the moment even though I felt Damanico's emerald eyes piercing me.
"Ciao!" Neveah said waving her hand in the middle of our staring "I'm still here!"
Xavier looked at her and smiled.
"Sorry Neve." he pulled her cheek then looked down at me "Is everything alright?"
"Yeah." I answered "I'm fine."
He smiled at me then took my wrist and took another drink from the glass and I giggled when he poked my cheeks. He didn't see Damanico either.
"Since we've had such a good day I think we should celebrate tonight." Jianan said and everybody cheered "Get more champagne and somebody order pizza."
Xavier pulled out his phone and threw it at Geovanni who dialed and ordered pizza. It was weekend so most of the girls and men went home and with those who were there we had a party. The maids bought us champagne which was non-alcoholic and beer for the drinkers and we had a good time.
I forgot about Damanico as I was caught up in a conversation with Neveah and the boys were we sat on the floor playing cards. I was sitting next to Xavier. A few other men joined in the game and Damien came too. After a while I went outside for some fresh air and saw Damanico standing under a tree and the blue light of his phone reflecting on his face. I ran up to him.
