Dark Love

CHAPTER VII

DOMENICO FERRARI

I had never been interested in having a permanent girlfriend, I was always more of a one night stand man but occasionally I had a list of girls who threw themselves at me and would be at my doorstep as soon as possible once I called. But the way avyanna made me feel was foreign to me, I found myself thinking of her at different times of the day and most times it took my attention away from the pending work I had on my table and the trouble the Russians were causing me. “Dom, you won’t believe what I just found out” Damon burst into my office panting like he had run across the whole building to get here. “ Cosa vuoi, non vedi che sono occupato” (what do you want, can’t you see I’m busy)

“It’s about your precious Avyanna”, as soon as those words left his lips, my head shot up so fast that I was surprised I didn’t get a whiplash. “So you know that ball that the mafia hosts every year under the guise of charity to cover our tracks, that we weren’t planning to attend before, we’ll I just found out that Avyanna’s painting were requested and sent in so that automatically means that she’s going to be at the party” he continued. “ I need an Armani suit and Liyah on speed dial immediately”. He smirked and left.

The next minute I heard my phone buzz meaning Liyah was on the phone. Immediately I picked up the phone she bombarded me with questions “Che sorpresa, la Domenic Ferrari mi sta chiamando, cosa vuoi che faccia per te”(What a surprise, the Domenic Ferrari is calling me, what do you need me to do for you) “ Ho bisogno che tu mi prendi un vestito preferibilmente rosso, che urla royalty con ovviamente l'emblema ufficiale della mafia italiana”(I need you to get me a dress preferably red, that screams royalty with of course the official emblem of the Italian mafia) I replied and then added “A proposito, ho bisogno che venga consegnato all'indirizzo che ti manderò subito con le misure prima della festa della prossima settimana” ( By the way I need it delivered to the address I will send to you right now with the measurements before the party next week).

She replied “ okay you’ll get it” and she ended the call. I then called my mother and requested an extra seat for Avyanna at our table which was the VIP table. I couldn’t wait to see her again and I was surprised to hear myself say that.
