Loves True Crime: A twisted Mafia Tale

Chapter 27 Alexis

I’m left alone in the kitchen with rose since she forced Alexander out. My heart races a little as I sit here. Nervous as hell I might add. My mind is racing with so many questions, sending my brain into overdrive about everything I don’t know about this man. I mean I’m pretty sure Alexander knows my whole life and all I know is he runs a mafia organization with his two best friends. And somehow he has an African American mother. Guessing Ma can see me trying to put all the pieces together in my head she walks up to me. “Go ahead and ask Chile.” Snapping me out of puzzled mind. “I’m sorry?” She shakes her head laughing,”I know you have questions so go ahead and ask.” I bite my lip thinking of my first question. “Are you really his mother? Or a mother figure to him?” I whisper. “She walks up to me, “yes I am really his mother.” “Did you adopt him?” My next question is blurted out. Ma places a hand on my shoulder, “yes Alex is our adopted child. We have had him since he was five years old.” “What happened to his real mother?” I interrogate wanting to know more about the man I lay next too. She lets out a deep breath. “That baby is a question I can’t answer. You’re going to have to ask him that yourself.”

She places steaks on each of our plates, I offer to help but she declined saying I’m a guest. But I guess she’s right, they are personal question. “I want to ask you a serious question before Alex gets back.” She leans against the counter facing me with a serious look. “Yes ma’am,” I’m able to mustard out. “Why don’t you and my son talk to each other?” My eyes go wide at her question. Did he tell her that I made that apart of our arrangement? Because I thought that was strictly for the three of us to know. And how can he tell his family but I can’t tell mines? “I may be old but I’m not blind Alexis. I see you two stare at each other waiting for the other to answer. You guys haven’t said one word to each other that I’ve heard since being here. Then it’s the eye stare, you look into each others eyes to communicate. It’s adorable, a little weird but adorable nonetheless. But I wanna know why y’all don’t say a single word to each other.” Ma asks her questions waiting for me to respond.

I put my head down to avoid eye contact because I don’t wanna lie to her. But I don’t know if I can tell her the truth. How can I sit here and tell this woman that I secretly hate her son. That I was kidn*pped by Alexander and now I am forced to live with him. That he’s cut me off from my friends and family. She would probably never look at him the same. I can’t tell her the truth, I just can’t. So if I have to lie to her to protect image of her son then I will. “I, uhm. We-we.” The words just won’t come out. “We thought it would be more romantic if we didn’t. It’s to strengthen our relationship and get to learn each others moods and body language. To solve our problems without arguing.” Alexander saves the day as he comes into the kitchen with the wine right on time. I’m so very thankful for him at this very moment. I honestly had no answer or her, and I did not want to lie to his mother. She looks between the both of us ready to call us out on our bull s**t. But she doesn’t, instead she sets the plates on the table and they join me at the table.

We talk as we eat dinner together, and the food is amazing. I mean better than Ms. Claire’s cooking and I didn’t think it got any better than that. As the night go on I learn a lot about Ma and her late husband Noah. They had such a incredible life together. A love so beautiful, you only read in books. It’s the kind of love I crave and hope for. Nothing like the so called love Kannon showed, or the forced love Alexander gives. I want the purest, genuineness honest love out there. And if I ever get away from Alexander I’m going to find it. I smile as I listen to her tell her stories about her family. I can feel Alexander staring at me as I concentrate on her every word, but I never look in his direction. Because when I do I somehow get lost in them. They can be so calming and peaceful, my personal safe haven. Or they can be threaten and dangerous. But I lov- i mean like that about him, as hard as he tries to hide it you can see all his emotions thru his eyes.

Alexander

With dinner finally over Alexis and I are attempting to leave. We have been here for a few hours now and I am exhausted, I’m sure Alexis is too. Though I know she won’t admit it. I can tell she had a good night and really enjoyed her self with Rose and I tonight. We walk to the door with my mother in tow behind us. “Ma, no more. No more stories or embarrassing photos. No more desert. We will come back and visit again okay.” Calmly as possible I try to tell her. I know she misses me since I can’t always be around, and now that she has Alexis in her hooks I’m sure she’ll miss her too. She throws her hands up “fine, fine no more. But if you don’t be back soon, I will come looking for you son.” She walks up to Alexis and hugs her first. “Be patient with him, he really is a good boy.” She tries to whisper but I still end up hearing her. “Okay” was all Alexis said in return. I go in for my hug once they let each other go. “See you later Ma, I love you.” I kiss her cheek. “Don’t lose her son, I have a good feeling that she’s the one. I like her so you better take good care of her.” She kisses my cheeks back. “I will Ma.”

I open the front door letting Alexis out first. “It was great meeting yo Ma, I had a great time.” Alexis gushes as we walk off the porch. “I’m glad to hear sweetheart, and you’re welcomed back any time. Don’t let my son hog you all the time.” She laughs seriously and walks back in the house. I make sure she’s in and locked up before we start descending to the car. The ride home was silent as usual and long, as I take my time getting back. Alexis falls asleep almost instantly with it being past midnight and all. I’m filled with pride and happiness that Ma and Alexis first meet going great. I sat at the table quietly as they talked like I wasn’t even there. It gave me a feeling I just can’t explain knowing Ma really does like her. Probably more than I do. I look over to the passenger seat and the bright moon hits her face. Man she really is beautiful, and looks so peaceful sleep.

A strand of hair falls in her face so I gently tuck it back behind her ear. She moves due to the contact and I quickly pull my hand away. Frustration builds in me, if she would have woken up and caught me touching her I would be in deep s**t. Luckily she doesn’t so the rest of the ride I keep my hands to myself. Getting us back to the mansion soon after I pull up to the front and kill the engine. I look over to Alexis thinking about what I’m going to do. I really don’t want to wake her but I know carrying her is out of the question. I be damned if anyone else carries her. I run a hand through my hair, f**k it I’ll just carry her inside and pray to God that she doesn’t wake up. Reach over I unbuckle her seatbelt, then I get out to go around and open the her door. Placing one of my arms under her legs and the other around her back I scoop her out. She moves and I freeze. But she just snuggles into me. It’s the best feeling a man could have. I let out a wary breath tho. I close the door with my leg and walk the steps to the house. God she smells amazing, not to mention how she fits perfectly in my arms. Almost as if she belongs here.

Continuing to carry her bridal style the guards open the door for me and I step inside. I climb the stairs by two trying to get her in bed as quickly as possible. Finally in our room I lay her down gently. She turns over unconsciously to get comfortable. I remove her shoes and put them in the closet. I walk back to the nightstand and pull out on of my t-shirts. I know I am pushing my luck but I just want her to be comfortable. So I walk back over to her stripping her of her clothing painfully slow, which only makes my d**k hard. God does she have to be so damn sexy. My eyes run over her semi nude body and I subconsciously lick my lips. I can just devour her right now, I shake my dirty thought tho. And place my shirt over her body. Unable to control myself any longer I break one of her rules. I place a soft kiss on her forehead. Undressing myself I strip down to just my briefs and I let my head hit the pillow. Closing my eyes sleep finds me faster than expected, with a grin on my face.
