My chest got heavier as the time takes its tick.

Then I started to lowly laugh

Who was I kidding?Of course she wont come!What a fool!

I took another shot and I cant seem to get myself off the seat.

I stared at my finger and took off my ring clenching it tight in my fist

I should've told her I loved her...I shouldn't have kept myself back...I should've let myself be happy just for a short while.Why did I hurt her like that?

As I was looking at my ring with my elbows on my lap thinking about my regrets the door opened

I kept my gaze down knowing it's Adriano

but what I saw was a lady's shoes before me

I jolted my head up seeing Andrea crying panting

Am I dreaming?

She lowered down and hugged me

I ran towards the bus and took my seat beside an old woman

I wiped my tears while I looked at my ring

"Are you alright Dearie?"She asked in english accent.Her eyes are blue,her hair was curly and white accompanied by her pointed narrow nose.

I nodded

"Yes I am fine thank you"

"You know whatever it is,you should go to him"she said

"What?"

"You love him yes?"

I nodded

She was very confused but the lady's words just hits the spot

"Very much"

"Well then what's holding you back?Nothing matters more than your happiness,even if you die tomorrow it's gonna be fine as long as you were happy now.Life is very short and has a very unexpected ending choose to be happy while you can"She said

Even if he is a dangerous person I know I will be happy with him,even if we die tomorrow whats important is we were very happy today

"Thank you"I said

"Stop the bus"she yelled and the heads turned towards us

I ran out with a smile

I opened the door with my heart pounding in my chest then I saw him leaning forward from his chair with his elbows on his legs looking at something

I stepped closer but he didnt bother to look but after a few seconds his head jolted up to look at me.

I quickly lowered and hugged him tightly

He held my shoulders gently and looked at my face

"Why did you come back?"He asked"You know very clearly you are not safe being with me"He continued in serious voice,his mouth reeked in alcohol"Are you not afraid of me?"he asked holding me

I shook my head

"Im not"I said"I am not afraid of danger either because I am certain you are there to always save me,I wanted to live with you without the acting"

"Andrea I hate it that you managed to make my heart beat...now that you did,I will never let you go,there is no going out"He said staring intensely into my eyes as he leaned to my forehead,his words burning

"I'm okay with that"I laughed lowly Then for the first time I saw his true smile and it was for me.

He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear then his hand slowly moved to cup my face while he stood then I smiled feeling his lips on mine I kissed him back

We walked upstairs and I was not sure if I will sleep on his bed so I started to walk out of his room

"Where are you going?"He asked

"T-to m-my room"I replied pointing my finger out

He lowly laughed

He looked at me then tapped beside him

"No thank you"I smiled then continued to walk

"Andrea"He called

"What?"

"Sleep beside me"

"No"

"Come here this instant or I'll take you myself"

"Nope "I replied back feeling my chest pound,I dont know if I can handle sleeping beside him,not now I think Im gonna have a heart attack,my heart is going crazy

"One...two"

"Nope !"I persisted

"Three!"and then he rushed out of the room and carried me on his arms and gently put me down with his forehead on mine

"You wont disappear when I open my eyes tomorrow right?"He asked

"Actually I didnt find any cabs so I came home first,I'm gonna leave tomorrow"I said jokingly

"What?"He asked in a surprised face

"Im kidding"I laughed"Now Mr.Romano who are you exactly?"I asked

"I am raised by a notorious mafia and now I am one of his puppets.I've been raised to be a killer"He said in a serious face while he removed his coat and started to plant kisses on my neck

***

I woke up looking at the bright room filled with sunlight.The waves sent a smile to my face once more.I looked beside me and saw Niccolo with his eyes closed

I can not believe he actually loved me back!and also I can not believe I am in love with a mafia!

I was about to stand up but his arm pulled me closer to him my nose filled with his scent while I felt his heat

"Good morning wife"He said keeping his eyes closed

I smiled looking at him

***

After,here we are in the kitchen,I watched him fry some pancakes while I sat on the counter top with a smile

"What?"He asked looking at me,I probably looked like a complete weirdo

I shook my head

He let out a low laugh walking between my legs and kissing me passionately but he quickly drawed back smelling the burnt food

"Oh shit!"he said then rushed

I watched laughing picturing my life being more wonderful with him.
