'Okay, What are the rules? 'I ask him. he shrugged and said 'You decide'. I thought for few seconds and replied . 'Only two rules: 1. No pass; 2.No lying.' I explained, you are not going anywhere without filling me in. 'Deal, Who will go first?' He ask. 'You go, I can wait few more mins' I said.
'Okay, So favorite color?' He said. 'Really color?,' I ask shaking my head. 'I couldn't think of anything, I said it whatever first thing came to my mind.' He innocently said.
'It's Grey. My turn, What was the situation?, when I was in Hospital.' He hesitated and said 'Okay, One of my uncle went for drug deal, cause I was here in states for customary. He got shot 6 times. My turn' he said. 'Why you went with Tedd when you got kidnap.?' 'Ummm, I may have ask him to find you, and he said he will help if I go out with him on date or dinner. So I choose lunch which has doctor's appointment, that wasn't awkward till I got kidnap. My turn'. 'Tell me more about this deal which went wrong.' I said, Its kind off intrigued me.
'There isn't much to tell, My uncle is still in coma, we lost 2 million dollars. My turn'. 'What happen between you and Moretti twins'. 'Ummm, As I have told you at the party, he tried to force himself on me when I was 16. why do you ask?' this is weird why he is asking about Camron? 'I don't know, I felt like their is something more of a story maybe that's why.' 'Well there isn't relax at least from my side, Whose turn is it to ask question?' I ask him. 'Its mine, favorite food? I guess'. He shrugged. 'All Mexican food but especially its Burritos with minced meat filling and I hate I can't eat any of it at all.' I huffed.
'Why is that so?' He said. 'Hey hey Mister its my turn. So the question is who was suppose to be in that deal in the first place?' It feels like, that shots wasn't meant for his uncle but for him. 'I see drug deal has all your attention?' He said. 'Answer the damn question'. 'I was supposed to be in that deal,everything was set then Jessica showed up and reminded me of Customary and we left for states and uncle took over the deal. Now tell me what is going on, why you pressing me for deal info?. He ask
I shrugged 'From the beginning, I felt like that you were supposed to be shot not your uncle.' I said still trying to put pieces together. 'WOW, you must really hate me, aren't you?' He said . 'What do you mean?' I ask. 'Ronie my uncle is on life supporter, he can die any minute . I even don't know how he is still breathing?. and you wanted me to be their? really?' He shook his head in disgust. ' Oh no no no no, that came out all wrong, I was putting the pieces together. I didn't mean to say that.' I explain 'Then what did you mean? and what pieces?'
'You are so dumb Dimitri, honestly how you became king is a big question for me' I said finally figuring it out. 'Hey watch your words, do explain what you taking about?
'Fine, Listen and answer my questions. okay?' he nodded. 'You were the one to finish this deal the someone wanted you dead not your uncle and definitely lost of money was their advantage, someone who didn't know you left and uncle took your spot, then again they shot him anyway, So that you will show up in hospital but again due to my condition Diego went to Russia. You lost money plus your uncle. I believe he must be important member of mafia cause he went for deal in place of yours' He nodded deeply in thought. 'and you will loose your uncle. They took your money and wounded you at the same time. Now figure out who must have done it. I can't believe, you didn't thought everything is substantial considering your power and amount of your enemies.' I finished, he was still in deep thought then he spoke again .'You know, its amazing how your brain works. I think we should involve you more from now on?. he said 'I have always told ya, you won't listen, and you are pretty dumb for a mafia king.' I laugh.
'Hey in my defense, I was bit occupied with Moretti messing with my business in Italy and you, Now tell me why you cant eat Mexican food.' He ask. 'Seems like your boy isn't a big fan of Mexican food unlike his mother and I knew it twins are pain in the ass.' I huffed. 'Don't worry about them. Maribel is taking care of it, like I have told you there isn't any thing I can't handle apart from you.' He said and heat begin to erupt on my cheeks, I hope he can't see it.
'Tell me about, your morning meeting situation now?. So that I can be useful, apart from giving you heir.' I joked, he chuckle. 'There's this thing a drug, very popular in middle east. I was the only supplier but like I told you twins messing my business, they have proposed the deal to one of our biggest client with lower price. We are trying to find loophole, where they are getting the drugs in the first place.' He explain, 'May be you got mole or something?' I suggested. 'Oh, Come on возлюбленная (Sweetheart) don't joke around, I am Mafia King don't you think I have already thought of that? we are considering all factors, we have a mole and we know it. But who is he that's the question. We can't point finger on anyone, it will display that our Omerta has been compromise. That will effect my Reputation in Mafia's. They have already got my one weakness, I can't risk more' he said.
'Well, that's true. I was thinking of the same thing, but wasn't aware of Omerta. Next question?' I ask. 'You go, I can't think of anything, will ask later' he said. 'Okay, what does it take to join a mafia?' I ask, maybe after birth I can join too. 'It take dedication, determination towards me, one has to take a oath of Omerta and protect it with their life. Their loyalty can't be compromise with anything. Why do you ask?' He ask. 'I was wondering I could join your mafia after birth.' I told him and he gave me a weird look of disbelief. 'What did you say? You wanna join my mafia?' he ask just to confirm. 'Yes, I wanna join your Mafia.' I said in oblivion. 'You can't join Mafia. You are f*****g pregnant with my child, he is the next heir to my Mafia. What were you thinking?.' He said angrily. 'What? just because I am pregnant with your child I can't join Mafia?. I said, what is wrong with him?. 'Yes you can't join Mafia or any Mafia or gang. When you are pregnant with King's child, you become Queen of Mafia. If something happens to me, you will be respected and treated same as me never the less. In fact after you will gave birth my Mafia will start treating you my equal and you will became my Queen.' He explain. 'What if you get married and you had a child with her, Let's say a son. Then he will be Heir to your Mafia not my son correct?' I ask. 'No, always the First born from my bloodline will be considered as my heir, doesn't matter if I marry anyone but that's not the case here.' He said, what that mean that's not the case?. 'What do you mean that's not the case here?' I ask
'Cause, I am never getting married to anyone, Until my son turns 21. Which is a decided age to take over any Mafia.' he told me. Where does it leaves me? what will I do? I can't get married? Or can I to somebody more normal? but then again my son is heir how will that work? its all so confusing. 'Okay, then where does that leave me? cause you are like 27 right?' he interrupted and said ' Still 26 birthday is next month.' 'Okay, 26 and I am 20. I have my whole life ahead of me. Where does that leave me? What if I want to get married? Let's say I meet someone who is not mafia, we fell in love and wanted to get married, What will happen then?' I ask him clearly angry and confused with my life.
'First you wont met anyone nor you will get married to someone else cause you're MINE and no one when I say it NO ONE touches, what is MINE. Am I clear to you?' He said aggressively , what is this? am I an object that he can own?. 'Let's just leave this till you gave birth, Okay? we have a lot of things going on. How bout I take you to the dinner tonight? or maybe some other night when you are not that fuming?' he said pointing finger at me. How can he act so normal at one moment and angry in another, Lord this man and his tantrums.
'I am not mad at you, I am just worried about future of us, you and me, you and baby, me and baby Lord!!!! uffff. you are right just leave this discussion for other time and tonight sounds good. Come on let's go its getting cold, you are Russian that doesn't mean no one else gets cold come on.' He laugh on my nasty comment and tower me giving me his hand to let me up. We walk towards his car and got in, Cole and Alex followed us in other car which brought me here.
Today was a fun event, we went to park discuss about few things, we get to dinner and that was fun too, We played 20 question round again and I got to learn a whole lot new things about him. Favorite color, food and stuff. Who knew Red would be the favorite color of The most feared and powerful Mafia king and now again I am here lying in my comfy bed still unable to sleep. What to do, guess i should start Yoga or something that can help me sleep. Like you haven't tried that already?. Yes, I know I have tired and failed, there is no harm in trying again. Then again there was a knock on my door, Maybe Maribel is back? I will ask her to rub my back its killing me.
'Come in' I yelled from bed 'Is that you Maribel? will you please rub my back? its killing me.' I ask when there was no response I turned around to see who is it? and there Dimitri was standing with all his glory arm crossed above his chest wearing a loose t-shirt and sweatpants.
'Sorry, I thought it Maribel' I apologized. 'Its okay, I will rub your back not an issue' He offered. 'Its fine, you don't have to do it, Did you need anything?' I ask changing the subject.
'Actually yeah, I called your therapist earlier to know, how things are turning out. She told me you can't sleep at all in night, back aches are also an issue, everything else seems to be working out just fine. Is it true?' he ask raising his brows. 'Well yeah it is, Maribel offers to rub my back which eases the pain but she isn't around that much.' I explained him. 'You could have told me, I am here every night.' he said while walking towards me. 'No, its fine you are already giving me foot massages, I can't turn to you for more favors.' I said. 'Really? I thought I was the one who put you in this condition in the first place.' He chuckle. 'Hey, don't make fun of mine, and yes you are.' I said. 'Come on lay down let me help and rub your back, maybe you can fell sleep after that, come on move your little ass.' he said. 'Trust me my ass is everything but little, haven't you notice how much fat I have put on.' I ask. 'I remember Dr.Luna told me that you and our baby is underweight just a week ago. I don't think you have put on more than couple of pounds which is still considered as underweight.' He said while slowly rubbing my back. Did he said our baby? normally he refer as your baby. Lord his hands feels so good and relaxing.
'Why do you always refer as your baby and not our just like you said few seconds ago.' I ask. 'Ummm, you told me not to and I wanted to wait till you allow me again to call him ours, just like you told me that night in Hospital.' he hesitated. 'yeah, you messed up big time but again he is your as much as it is mine, so I suppose you can call him ours.' I said and I can feel him smile and he stopped rubbing my back. I turn around to see him and ask what happened.
'Why did you stop?' I ask softly. 'I am so sorry for what I put you through and for abandoning you twice. I never wanted to leave you either time, I only did to protect you and every time it lead you to more danger.' He said guilt was visible in his eyes. Did he really said he is sorry? and either time? mean he never wanted to leave alone at that Hotel?. 'Its okay, you didn't know even no one knew it will lead me to more danger, don't feel bad.' I said cupping his face. ' I know but still' before he could say anything I cut him off by placing my finger on his lips.
'No still, no if and no buts. If you would start considering the possibilities then there is no ending. Let's leave the past behind.' I said, looking straight into his eyes, once again our eyes locked and his eyes showing emotions, He lean in me and so did I. Everything seems perfect and then his lips touched mine, they do feel soft against mine, we kissed for the first time after that night. Kiss was smooth full of passion, promise and demand to loose-in and so I did it. I gave it all away. He moved to my neck so that we can catch some air. I moan when he found my sweet spot and that trigger something in him and he stopped.
'I umm I am sorry.' He stammered, I smile and said 'Its not your fault, I kissed you back.' he started to get up then I stop him and hold his hand. 'Will you please stay with me, I mean you can sleep in here if you don't mind?' I ask him hoping for a yes from him and he accepted my offer. He laid down with me my back was against his chest, he pulled me more to him. It felt so good and perfect, I guess he felt the same way cause we both snuggled more into each and relaxed.
'Good night Dimitri' I said,
Good night ,моя королева (my queen)' he replied, I wondered what it meant and before I could ask him darkness find me.
That night I slept like a baby in his embrace.
