Mafia's bride

Chapter 5

Immediately Sylvian felt her heart beating too fast, she was filled with happiness, pure joy and excitement that she had not felt for some time now. She had cut the call on her father a long time ago, and for a whole hour now she was still standing outside in the open, but at the end of it all, Sylvian was still very, very happy from all of her being, this was joy that she coudln't get over now.

And now she started letting out a small breath as about now it was too heavy in her, and stuck inside of her body for too long now. But at this moment, as Sylvian was slowly letting that heavy breath out of her, she felt her shoulders starting to fall down as well and the butterflies in the stomach were slowly calming down, but it all took time though.

Sylvian felt all so relaxed and calm at this moment, something she had been begging to feel for so long. But it was the same she wanted for her mind and body to feel as well, this being the main reason, for why Sylvian was out here and out of New York with her friends.

But unfortunately, what a trip couldn't make her feel, her father's reassuring words made her feel almost immediately. And she knew that this call was something she needed very badly. And it was not all the money that she spent here getting to Greece, but a call finally made her smile after a long while.

Immediately as this thought hit Sylvian and her mind, she couldn't help but chuckle out loud to herself, shaking her head. Slowly she opened her eyes and placed her hand on the slab right in front of her, as Sylvian stood there right on the balcony of her beautiful hotel room, a small house that was there for her and her girls. She was now standing on the edge, simply watching the sun light beaming in and now the sun was settling down and falling deeply into the water right ahead of her. A small bird chain in a far distance was in her view as well, and right there she noticed them pass by the setting sun. The sight of that was breath taking. And it seemed like some people captured for their i********: or pinterest.

However, as she looked down, there she saw a few yachts, small boats and cruises there as well, while all of them were gliding right past where the sun was setting down and it was all so beautiful of a sight for her, noe Sylvian's feeling getting better and mood on a different level as well. It was almost like Sylvain was in her own heaven, this felt like home to her. And if this was what heaven felt like, she wouldn't mind staying here forever and as long as she could. But that was something not possible. She had work and college at the same time, and her reality wasn’t all that bad as well, not too far from heaven for her.

But now that she was standing right here watching this place that she was in, and was living through, while staring at the far end enjoying the peace of nature in its beauty, she was happy here. As Santorini stood right there in her view. Now she couldn’t help but think that this was a good decision she had made coming for her. It did not seem that way before though, but now it all seemed too right to her.

For a few second there, as Sylvian stood by watching everything around her as her brown eyes now glanced everywhere, and right then she took in every detail of life in front of her, her present life that she was living.

Slowly, then Sylvian felt a warm breeze on her, slightly heavy it was, but not chilly at all. never the less, it made her black hair fall right to her face, blocking her view ahead of her. Slightly irritated now, she then gradually placed her hand on her face and pushed her hair behind her eyes, while her long and very thick hair was very hard to handle. But suddenly as the breeze came in, they were now moving back and forth over and over again. And now because of the harsh wind that she was surrounded with, it was hard for her to settle them down.

How ever, Sylvian did not quite have a problem with that, but rather she was actually enjoying the light breeze, the warmness around her body and skin. This all made her smile to herself as her small light dimples started to form on her cheeks and as her lips went wide now meeting her ears, those dimples then went deep inside of her cheeks, staying there for good.

She was at peace with her life, at peace with herself, with everything in her life, and for once she couldn't help but feel like everything around her was falling into place now. Her life, her school, her work, her family and even her friends, but more over the peace that she felt more, and felt too good was with her own self, her life. That was something Sylvian had not felt for years and years now, but it seemed to be there for her this time.

“SYLVIIII, how long are you going to stay out there. Come back inside.” A loud and similar voice came from in the house and immediately as she heard the voice screaming for her, Sylvian shut her eyes tight and right then there was slight tension building up in her. She was in fact annoyed now, and all because of the interruption. This is what she felt, while Sylvian was in her mental peace apparently.

“One second to myself is all I asked for…….” She said, whispering softly to herself as she slowly opened her eyes and turned around, and now a little grumpy on her face and her eyes scrunched together at the very moment. And quickly she took in a deep breath and turned to the closed door.

Immediately Sylvian walked forward and pushed the door open, this time too loud, and instantly she walked into the small house that she had for the girls and herself. And right as she walked in, Sylvian at the beginning noticed Celeste sitting her, her childhood best friend was sitting on the couch with her legs up and right now she was busy painting her toe nails, and at the same time, she was paying attention to the TV, watching a true crime story. She was now multitasking as she always did.

Sylvian was actually very much interested in these stories as well, but watching something like this, at a time like this, as they were on a trip seemed a little strange to her. She then walked in to her living room, and now completely alarming Celeste as the girl slowly turned towards Sylvian, looking at her with her green eyes shining bright. Something Celeste was known for and also completely adored by everyone in the world as well. However those green eyes and the structure of her face that was slight “v” made Celeste look like an old black and white movie actress. And this was something she inherited from her mother and this beauty made her look so different from everyone in the world, so authentic she was, and this being one of her superpowers actually.

However, people would automatically fall in love with her. However, now that beautiful face was rather staring at the TV and her then, going back and forth. And then slowly glanced back down, now was sitting there concentrate in her nail polish and the missing person that was still missing for 20 years apparently.

Right then Celeste natural long straight hair fell right in front of her face and she was pushing it out never the less she glanced her eyes away from her TV and looked at her phone to see the time it was now. However, right now those green eyes had a frown in them and sudden panic as well. And immediately her eyes went wide in horror as she turned to Sylvian almost immediately.

“Sylvi, when are you going to get ready ?. We have reservations at 8:00.” Celeste said to Sylvian and she immediately looked down at her black shorts and t-shirt that she had been wearing the entire day all day today. And only because today none of them had to go out and take a look at the paradise. Today was for the girls to stay in and just go out for dinner. Today was to relax only.

Slowly Sylvian then pulling out her phone and there she saw the time was 5:43. She scrunched her eyes at the time it was and the panic Celeste was creating for herself. Never the less, Sylvian put her phone back and started to walk in as her friend started to get her work done faster this time.

“We still have time….” Sylvian said, walking closer to Celeste and she was shaking her head, not agreeing at all.

“No, we do not have time. You still have to have your shower, change and take care of your hair, just so much you have to get done. And still we have to get there on time too.” Celeste let out as she was finishing her legs faster as Sylvian was calmly walking right past her, but at the same time she was also blocking Celeste's view from the TV as well. And immediately Celeste slapped Sylvian on her butt multiple times, pushing her away from there.

How ever, Sylvian, on the other hand, she was a little bit struck but she did not think too much about it and was still simply walking into her bedroom. However, as she got in, the orange light that was coming from outside was now hit the walls of her room and now directly falling towards her face as she stepped in. Taking her off gaurd. And right now all the white interior has just allowed the sun to come in and settle this way.

Quickly she grinned at the beauty her room looked like every evening and went inside her room. This sight was just so breathtaking to watch. Without wasting a second there, Sylvian started to take make her way towards the shower when suddenly she heard heavy foot steps behind her. Immediately alarming Sylvian and it made her turned around almost instantly.

“What did your dad say?....” A voice came from outside, and now even before a person could come inside and right them a small head popped into the room.

“Huuhhh?’ She asked, as a brunette with small hair that came up to her chest stepped into the room , however, she was all dress up for dinner in a beautiful and elegant black cocktail dress, but she did not have her shoes on her yet. Barefoot, Delilah, on the other hand, immediately walked in and sat down on Sylvian’s bed, watching her carefully. And Sylvian though, stood by the bathroom door and her back resting on the edge of it. How ever, there was this big smile on her face that Sylvian couldn’t hide.

“Nothing much, I asked him if he could come to New York and he said…….” She let out but then suddenly stopped for some drama there, as Delilah’s eyes went wide in anticipation.

“Well, tell me.” She let out.

“He said he will….” Sylvian let out finally, and right at that moment, on Delilah’s face there was this large grin, and of pure happiness it was at the moment. And right there, right on time there were two more foot steps forming almost immediately and now they were making their way towards Sylvian’s room, rushing there now.

Immediately so Sylvian started to grin widely as ever, clearly understanding it was Celeste and Farah running there. And quickly both of them rushed into the room or they were trying to do so, but as they were about to get in, now they both got stuck at the door as they got in together. and yet they were trying to tackle each other by the door.

“Uuuuuugggg. Cel, can you please…” Farah let out, struggling now as her shoulders were stuck.

“Farah, don't rush m…e….” Celeste said in pain because she slammed her body there, and fast. The impact was too hard on both of them.

“No, you don't rush me,”

“Wha…..t the…… “ They both were now yelling at each other, trying to get into the room through the small space that was in between them, was making it hard and the two girls inside were of no help. They did not want to get in between the mess, it would not end up well for any of them and they knew it too well now.

How ever, Delilah, on the other hand, she was just done by both of them and not at all amused by their behavior. However she was always done by their behavior. Delilah rolled her eyes as she stared at them.

“JUST F****** GET IN, and stop arguing all f******.” She said, not sensoring anything ever. And this seemed to have worked because they both stopped fighting almost immediately.

This was the dynamic all the time.

Delilah was always a parent to this group and right as she said so, everyone listened to her and both Celeste and Farah stopped what they were doing and immediately Farah pushed Celeste harshly and walked into the room. And now, very innocently, she walked to the bed and climbed in, crawling in and sitting down on the bed but right in the middle of the bed. And as Farah being the smallest one in the group, the tinest, she sat there with her legs folded and now staring at Sylvian for some story time.

But before that she put her natural deep curly hair into a tight pony, glaring at Sylvian, wanting for her to continue as her large eyes continued to look right at her.

“So he really is coming?” Celeste asked Sylvian and Sylvian couldn't help but nod her head, smiling from her to ear to ear, and now a large green on her face, showing pure excitement.

“Oh my, no f****** way.” Delilah said.

“Really….?” Farah asked.

“I didn’t hear, but did he promise about the sweets?” All three of them asked at the same time and literally all Sylvian did was nod her head yet again. And now holding her towel tight and closer to her chest. Delilah, though was still stunned.

“That is so unbelievable. I mean, I always heard him saying no to you. But what did you say to him?. Delilah asked her folding her legs together sitting up straight in a perfect posture. All because Delilah believed her to sit in a straight posture for her body and simply sat there staring at Sylvian for an answer.

“I honestly said nothing. I don't know what happened to him. I mean I always get emotional in front of dad when I tell him to come, but there was just something very different about the way he was talking this time.” She said, clearly surprised and it was the same for other as well.

“And honestly why would I care about what he said and why he said what he did. He is going to come meet me and that is all I that matters, all I always wanted so why even care about the reasons and all, right ?” Sylvian said and everyone agreed with her almost immediately.

“Of course.” Celeste said as she let out a large grin almost immediately.

“And also I am sure he will bring a lot of things to eat from Italy as well, which I am dying for, something you never asked for.” Celeste said, getting a little mad at Sylvian as she roll her eyes.

“Whatever.” She said softly.

“I am just happy but, I don't know how mom is going to react to this, about him coming here. But of course she is going to be mad at him for coming unannounced…" She said and the girls nodded their heads.

"Although, you know what, I don't really care about that anymore, I am going to meet my father.” She said excited as ever and smirking as, it was now stuck on her face. Sylvian was being quite sassy at the moment. And the girls noticed it. Celeste nodded her head

“I really do not think aunty is going to be pissed off at you. But for sure she is going to be pissed off at your father, yes. But nobody has ever stopped you from meeting your parents. Everything is going to be fine.” Celeste let her know.

“And think about it.” Delilah said, as all eyes were on her now.

“Your mother was never against your father and you meeting. She liked it when he came to see you.” Delilah let out,

“Hmmmm.” And Celeste hummed softly, and suddenly looked up at Sylvian.

“Aunty was only against you going to your father, and staying with your father in Italy,” Celeste said, suddenly, as her eyes went everywhere else, as something came to her mind now.

“I have only seen her scream at you only for that one other reason. I still remember that day very well.” Farah said and right then everyone actually felt a chill running down their body, and a scared feeling came high as that conversation came up. And even under her skin she felt strange and Farah was distinctly remembering how Sylvian’s mother had yelled at her when she was in High school.

Farah then sat up straight in her seat and now, backing away to the bed as she was now. She was resting her back on the head of the bed. However, there was a terrified look on her face now.

“I still get night mares about that day. Aunty Astrid was not in the mood to talk, and she even made me cry. That day I only asked how uncle was.” Farah said, and right then the girls slowly turned towards her, seeing her scared face now. Farah was shaking her head. As her face was now going pink at the moment. And she being the tiniest in the group, she always looked extra adorable. And if she did anything with her face she just looked like a doll.

How ever, they couldn't say that out loud and risk her hearing it. All because her anger was also extra ordinary and she thought she was terrifying, but it was not the case, never the case really. But the anger in her small face was very funny. And as she was she would also get upset very fast as well and none of them wanted to upset their best friend.

Never the less, they all turned towards Farah, watching her going from pink to red and it was very hard for all three of the girls to contain themselves from laughing or reacting at all. But they did. Sylvian had to look away from Farah before she burst.

“Yep.” Sylvian said softly, nodding her head.

“But I think it would be better if I called her and told her before hand…….. right?. I don't want them to meet and fight.” She asked them if they thought it was right.

“I just really want them to have a good time with myself and then we can all go back to what the life is to us.” Sylvian said as she slowly turned around and placed her towel on the hanger, getting the water in the started in the tub. So that it could start getting warm.

However, the girls stayed right there with a confused look on everyone's face this time.

“So you mean..” Celeste asked, rolling up on the bed sitting close to Farah, but making sure that her nail polish did not get messed up, as she was very careful about that.

“You are saying that you are going to take your father home, to your mothers place and not your dorm?. Which, by the way, is actually quite beautiful and very big?” Celeste asked her while Sylvian, on the other hand, she started walking up to her closet and she was looking as to what she would want to wear for dinner.

“Of course I am going to take him home.” She said like it was nothing, but the girls, on the other hand, everyone glanced at each other, understanding that this could not be the brightest idea for her. While Farah then, she pulled a pillow from the bed and placed on her chest. Now she was a little scared at the moment and was holding on to the pillow very tightly in her arms.

“What about your mum Sylvi?” Farah asked, wanting to honestly know what was her plan, her next move. If her mother yelled yet again, Farah would lose her mind.

However, Sylvian, on the other hand, she stopped her search for a dress in a second, looking down and everyone's eyes were on her. Slowly, then she turned around looking at them.

“I am not going to treat my father like he is not family, and neither is mom. We cannot be a happy family and I can understand that, I know that now. I have grown up with that information right to my face. No longer do I get frustrated or angry at them and their divorce anymore. I have wasted too much time on that.” Slyvian said, as all of them could honestly feel her pain in her voice.

“I can understand they cannot be happy together, but they both love me, deeply and madly. I am their only child and I am going to use this to my benefit now. And I don't ask them both for anything to be very precise, they can give me this much.” Sylvian made everything clear now. Putting it all out in words. And the girls all actually agreed to it. All because what she said was all very true.

They remembered that she was always a very calm child, not fussy or wild, but rather Sylvian never really cried as a child as well. She was so quiet and calm all the time. And she never did ask her parents for anything either. People just got her all the great things in the world, but Sylvian wasn’t into that much. She simply wanted to be with her parents, and together.

And even though her mother, father and everyone from each side of the family were very wealthy people, they could give her the world if she asked for it and that they could actually do. But still Sylvian always stayed under her means, always did everything on her own. She also made her own money for her college, something her family was extremely proud of.

And now they understood that when Sylvian finally asked for something, adan then her family would have to do it for her. She always used this tactic on everyone, and it always worked for her.

Delilah, on the other hand, nodded her head and Sylvian turned back again.

Delilah then slowly glanced at her closet.

“White dress, that one.” Delilah said pointing on the dress in the far corner. Something Slyvian’s mother had brought for her for this trip to wear and Sylvian smiles to herself and pushed her body slightly up, picking it out and walking out. She then held that dress in front of her, looking right ahead into the mirror.

It was a short white dress, beautiful A-line with a deep neck forward and full hands that would hold on to her skin very tight. It was a beautiful dress and at the same time backless as well.

Sylvian smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror, the beautiful dress looking amazing on her already, even though she was not wearing it. Delilah was glad to see her in a good mood after a very long time and quickly she turned to the girls where she saw Farah was now done with this conversation.

“Okay then, now that we have had a short chat already,” Farah said, pushing the pillow away from her and sitting it down right next to her she sat on her knees. And now Farah was in her hyper mode yet again, as always.

“Sylvi.” Farah said staring at her now.

“You go and have your shower and get ready, quickly.” She said, ordering Sylvian as the lady now nodded her head and right then Farah quickly turned to both of them. She was now shooing them now.

“You both now go. Delilah you go wear your shoes and you dress up.” She said to all of them, and now as she ordered them all, Farah too started to get out of the bed, pushing Celeste and Delilah's shoulders. And right then Celeste immediately got down, making sure she did not mess up her nails but fortunately her nails were now all dry. And right then she was slowly walking out of the room, and now walking like a crab this time. While right behind her Farah walked as well, getting out of the room as both of there were still murmuring something to each other still.

Sylvian then placed her dress on the bed as Delilah got up and walked to her, placing her hand on Sylvian’s shoulder.

“Straighten your hair, it will look nice.” She said walking out of the room, leaving Sylvian there all alone.

How ever, she, on the other hand, still had a smile on her face now that everything seemedso much going great, and even better to her. And Sylvian couldn't help but think that her life couldn't get any better than this. She was just living one of those years and things were getting too good for her.

She right then giggled to herself as Sylvian turned around, walking into the bathroom and turning off the tap. Now getting ready for the evening she was about to have. And so to get ready for the new things that are waiting for her in this world, as she was now looking forward for her future, which Sylvian could not wait for.

Immediately she shut the door, locking it up behind her and going about whatever was necessary right now, for this night.
