Dominick’s POV
“I would be there in ten minutes,” I said through the phone with a smile on my face.
“Lies.”
“I’m serious, ten minutes, and I would soon be there.”
“Okay, I believe,” Calla said, I could sense the happiness in her voice, it was our usual thing, she would call every day by 9 pm when I’m at work and I would convince her I would be home soon she will pretend not to believe me and it goes on and forth, it may sound childish to many but I find it cute, it’s usually the highlight of my day after a long day at work torturing and murdering people.
“Be there in ten minutes, I love you.”
“Love you more,” I said before I hung up the phone.
Calla and I have been together for a year now, once Maya got married I asked Calla to move in with me which she did say yes to and we decided to live in Italy, it made me closer to my main workplace and Calla loved Italy, it was a win-win situation.
I wanted nothing but to ask Calla to marry me but I can’t muster the courage to, a mafia king unable to ask his girlfriend to marry him it’s embarrassing if you ask me. I’m worried she is not ready and it will ruin whatever we have, I would be damned if this relationship gets ruined, it’s the best thing that has happened to me.
She has been sweet, and considerate and she always understands me even when I don’t say a word, I love waking up next to her and I wish I could make that permanent.
I got to the flower shop and the driver got out as usual to get me the red flowers I would always buy, another tradition of us, I got her red flowers every day and I loved how she would pretend she didn’t know I would buy it, how she gave me that smile, I loved it, I love her.
“That’s all for today Maximus, be here by 5 am tomorrow,” I said to my driver, I always left early for work and I’m glad Calla understood it, I always found time for her, I usually try to finish all the work during the weekdays so during the weekend I would be all hers.
I have gotten a lot better with romance over the year, and google was of good help, I learned a lot, and calling Maya all the time wasn’t an option she is married now and I’m sure she would be busy with all sorts of things and I’m glad I have the internet.
“And here are your flowers baby,” I said with a smile on my face, Calla collected the flowers from my hand and kissed me on the cheek, she made sure to give me that smile, and then she gave me a tight hug.
“I love you so much Dommy.” She said, she raised my head looking directly into my eyes, I smiled at her and then leaned in to give her a kiss on her lips, my tongue wetting her upper and lower lip just to make it moist before I kissed her one last time.
Fuck, she has no idea what she does to me.
“Go get freshen up, I made dinner.” Calla said excitedly, she didn’t usually cook but when she did it always tasted amazing, she says and I quote “I’m too pretty to be in the kitchen every day.” She made sure to always add “no disrespect to any chefs or housewives.” Which made me smile, she is always considerate of others.
I strolled upstairs and into our room, I took a quick bath and wore a pair of shorts and a white sweater to go with it, I made sure to send a quick text to my second in command, we have an important meeting tomorrow, I would be flying to New York just for two days to attend this meeting and to seal the deal, Nikolai would be there too.
We figured it would be a great opportunity for Maya and Calla to meet, it’s been quite a while since they saw each other, and I haven’t informed Calla about it yet, I’m keeping it as a surprise, she thinks she is following me to New York for a boring meeting, I can’t wait to see that excitement on her face when she meets her best friend.
I also haven’t seen Maya for a while though we spoke on the phone almost every day, she told me how happy Nikolai makes her and I remember clearly how she also ends every phone call with ‘stop being a chicken and ask her’ I also laughed but I’m sure when I meet her tomorrow she would make sure I ask Calla to marry me before the two days end and I think I’m a bit prepared for it, I can do it, she won’t say no.
“What do you call this again?.” I asked Calla, she made something if that’s what I should call it, whatever recipe she tried tonight is not working.
“It’s called Calla’s special, I picked up three recipes from the internet and made a twist, it was not easy but I did it.” She said with a smile on her face.
“It’s great.” I lied, I didn’t want to hurt her feelings, she really tried her best but f**k next time she should stick to cooking normal food and not creating new recipes.
“I know right, I’m loving every bit of it.” She added, she made something that tasted like chicken but then I can taste fish, it’s complicated.
“Do I really have to follow you to New York?.” She asked again.
I rolled my eyes at the question, she has been uttering about her bored she will be when I’m working or how she doesn’t want to be alone.
“Yes, Calla, and no questions again,” I said.
After dinner, we got settled back into our room, she laid on my chest while I wrapped my hand around her, I kissed her forehead and whispered good night.
“Good night Dommy.” She replied.
I have a perfect life and it’s all because of her.
