《Timeless Love》Chapter 13

Advertisement

Sitting here in my office trying to get that kiss out my mind. My hands on her soft skin. The way her lips felt so soft. The way her lips moved to mine. Like our lips were meant to be together. But then she left me standing there wondering what I did wrong.

Im a mafia leader and Im sitting here thinking about a stupid kiss with a girl who just left like it was nothing. But I still felt like I needed to protect her from harm, from love and from others.

But Why?

I woke up with Nova in my bed. I opened my eyes with a smile on my face. I kept thinking about the kiss. The kiss I shared with a stranger. With Mr. Daunte De Luca, rich man but who is also Olivers boss.

Knowing I just made made out with his boss made my smile disappear and turn into sadness. Because I when kissed, I felt like I needed him more. Like I didnt want to leave his side. Like I needed him to breath. when I pushed him away I wanted to pull him right back. But I couldnt. I couldnt betray my brother like that. What kind of sister would I have been.

I dont know how I would act around him. What would he think of me? Would he hate me? Would he try disown me? Hate me? A lot of different question pop in my head. But one question keeps repeating itself, would I do it again?

Im cut out my thought with Nova stirring awake.

"Morning, how long have you been up?" She ask.

"Just now waking up."

"But why you look like you were just thinking about what happened last night with Mr. De Luca?" She smirked and wiggled her eyebrows at me.

I rolled my eyes at her "I wasnt."

"Are you forgetting I know you Keyona." What was crazy is that she really did. Ever since we became cousins. When my aunty first adopted her and the twin, we were attatched at the hip. She knew my like the back of her hand.

"Fine. Yes I was. I just dont want to hurt Oliver. I dont want him to be disappointed in me. But the kiss was amazing Nova." I said sadly.

"Amazing enough to do it again?"

I take a deep breath and look at her. "Yes. But I cant."

We sit there in silence for a minute. Not saying a single word. Until she breaks the silence.

She sat up with a huge smile on her face, "Lets go to the market today!"

I look at her for a second and nod my head. I look at the clock and see its only 10am. Knowing the boys are probably still in bed and drunk, no point of asking them.

"It might just be us two since the boys are sleep still." I tell her.

"Thats fine with me. It would be good to spend some girl time, without the boys hovering over us all the time. Lets go take showers and get ready. Its suppose to be really hot today. So wear a dress or shorts." She said and got up and left.

We got ready and within an hour, I texted the boys to let them know where we were going and when we will be back so they dont try to call 911 or go crazy because they cant find us. Trust, it happened before.

We left out the house and got in the taxi I called for us and headed to the market. It took us about 30 minutes. The driver must of knew we were tourist because he was explaining everything on our way. How old the buildings were, what they were in the 1800's and early 1900's. The history and even what material the building was made out of. It was pretty funny but very educational.

Once we arrived, we were awe at all the little markets.They had carts full of food. Veggies, fruit, pastries and bread. They sold clothes, wooden and glass art pieces. It was amazing.

There were alot of people with their loved ones and children, talking and laughing together. It was a beautiful site.

We walked around for an hour and got some little souveniers for my brothers and I got this really pretty bracelet that this lady said she handmade. It was silver and had colorful crystals on them. I loved it so I had to get it.

We stopped at a cafe and got us some Ice lattes but when we were leaving, I seen a little girl sitting on the curb crying and people were just passing her up. It was sad. So I grabbed Nova and walkd over to her. She had her knees to her chest, arms wrapped around her legs and her head faced down.

I bent down to her level and rubbed her shoulder. She flinched a little and looked up at me with tear stain cheeks and watery eyes. She couldnt be more then six or seven years old.

"Ciao tesoro, stai bene?" (

She shook her head and continued to cry.

"Cosa ce che non va?" I asked, rubbing her back.

She takes a deep breath and wipes her face. "Non riesco a trovare mia mamma."

"What did she say, Keyona?" Nova asks.

"She cant find her mom." I looked up at her. "Oh." She said sadly.

"Sai dove I'hia vista I'ultima volta?" I asked the little girl.

She nods her head. "Nel negozio di gelati."

I nod my head and reach out my hand for her to take. "Andiamo a cercarla, tesoro." She hestantly takes my hand in hers and we start to walk to the last place she seen her mom.

We walk a few more minutes until she stops and yells "Mammina!" She lets go and runs to a lady and man that are holding each other crying. I figured those were her parents.

The lady turns around and gasps, running towards the little girl, embracing her, while the guy runs grabbing both of them.

Maria Hall-De Luca

Matteo De Luca

"Mina, dov'eri?! Ero cosi preoccupato!" Her mother spoke.

"Are those her parents, Keyona?" Nova whispered.

"I think so." I whispered back.

"Ho visto il mio amico camminare e sono andato a salutare, ma quando sono tornato non ci sei piu stato. Ho procato a cercare te e papa ma non sono riuscito a trovarti. Ero triste e piangevo. Quindi la simpatica signora mi ha aiutato a trovarti." ( The little girl explained to her parents.

"Quale signoras, Mina?"

She turned and pointed at me and Nova. Her parents got up, walked over and pulled us into a hug. When they finally pulled away, they wiped theirs tears and her father spoke.

"Grazie mille per aiutare mia figlia. Non so cosa fare per ripagarti." (

I waved my hand around. "It was no problem. Sono solo felice che ti abbia trovato." ( I told them.

"Oh you speak English." Her mother spoke. I nod my head.

"Yes, Im from America. Me and my cousin Nova just moved here with my brother. He has lived here for almost 5 years." I pointed at Nova and she smiled at them.

"Its so nice to meet you Nova and what was your name, Miss?" Her mother shook Nova hand and then Mine.

"Keyona." I smiled at her.

"Well its nice to meet you Keyona. Im Maria, this is my husband Matteo and our daughter LaMina." We shake Matteo's hand.

"Its nice to meet you." Nova says.

"We have to repay you. How would you like to come to our house for dinner next weekend. My other kids and nephews will be joining. They are about your age." Maria says.

"Nonono, thats quite alright." I say.

"Please?" She says . "I dont mind at all." Matteo says.

I look at Nova and she just smiles and nods her head. I turn back towards them and say "Alright. That would be fine." Maria claps her hand. "Okay, do you have a phone? I can put my number in your phone and text mine so can text you my address." I nod and give her my phone.

"Great! I have your number and Ill text you friday my address. Thank you again for helping my daughter. We dont know what would of happened if something happened to her." Maria says and hugs me and Nova again.

"It was no problem." Nova says and then looks at Mina, "Always stay with your mommy and daddy, so you never get lost. Okay?" Mina nods her head and gives us both a hug. "Thank you." She whispers. Matteo shakes our hands again and they leave.

"Well wasn't that a nice way to spend our Sunday at the market, we saved a little girl and get a free dinner on Saturday." Nova said while she wrapped her hand on my shoulder.

"Alright, let walk around a little more, then stop at a pizza place and grab a few pizzas to take home for dinner. Because I know these boys are probably starving since none of them know how to cook." We both laugh.

That's what we did, we walk around some more and looked at some paintings and arts that people were selling. The market seems to be my second favorite place. Since the first is the hidden cave Oliver and Leo took us too.

We get a taxi and head home but stopped and grabbed pizza on our way. When we walked in all the boys were arguing, but what they were arguing about was really funny.

"You are suppose to boil the water before you put the pasta in!" Easton yelled.

"No, you suppose to put the pasta in before the water boils!" Ryker yells.

"Both of y'all are wrong! Your suppose to make the sauce first so it can sit aside and thicken up!" Kevion says.

They were all standing by the stove with a box of Kraft Mac'n'cheese in their hands.

I place the pizza on the table and Aydin and Quinton look at us and shook their heads. They go to the cabinet ignoring the them and grab plates and came over, opening the first pizza box, take a couple pieces of pizzas and kisses our cheeks.

"Thanks Sis." They both said before walking out the kitchen.

I walk over and stand between all three of them, taking all the Mac'n'cheese boxes out their hands. They all turn and face me.

"What's going on here?" I ask them and they all started talking at once. I start to try and listen to them all until I had enough. I slammed my hand on the counter to quiet them.

"Soooo Let me get this straight, all of y'all was arguing because your hungry and couldn't figure out how to make a box of Kraft Macaroni?" They all just stared at me and said "YES!" In unison. I look at all three of their faces to see they were serious. I could do anything but crack up and laugh. I was laughing so hard that I was bent over, holding my stomach.

"You guys are really stupid. But anyways, good thing me and Nova saved y'all. We got pizza." I said and pointed at the pizza boxes that were next to Nova. They all froze and look for a second before they tried to race for the pizza. They ran like they been dying and forgot how food tasted. I shook my head at them.

When they finally got their pizza and left, there was a box left.

"I guess we get a box to ourself. You wanna change and watch Netflix in the movie room and eat pizza and snacks?" Nova asked.

I nod quickly. "Yeah." With that we went upstairs and changed in our pjs. Half an hour later, we walk downstairs to see Oliver and Leo sitting at the island, eating our pizza.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" I yell. They both turned around and dropped the pizza. "YOU ATE OUR PIZZA!"

They looked at each other and back at us.

"Sorry?" Oliver said in a whisper. I shook my head.

"Y'all have 20 minutes to go get us a new pizza and have it in the movie room before we pick a movie and start it!" I said with my arms crossed.

Nova smirked and said "time starts now." Oliver ran out the kitchen to the front door. Leo quickly kissed Novas cheek and ran right behind him.

We then look at each other and said "Men" in unison and shook our head laughing.
