A MAFIA HEART

CHAPTER 5. I DON'T WANT IT TO END

Alita did not hesitate, she quickly put on the short and sleeveless, styles her hair in a ponytail braid, she looks at herself once more in the mirror before finally leaving.

Alita spent hours upon hours with the flowers. Over the years when she went through those torture alone, winter Jasmine was her refuge, her hiding place, her place of comfort. She would burry herself in those flowers, watering and trimming it like her lifes depends on it, and when a single one whither, she would cry her eyes out with no one to console her. But right now, she felt like this is all she could ask for, she was more than contented being here.

Alita trims the flowers with so much care, smiles were plasttered on her face, Oscar's face elated as he watch her, he stood there without her notice watching her enjoy the breeze from the flowers.

"You have being here since 10am, this is 2pm now!!" Oscar spoke and Alita startled turning towards his direction.

"Oscar!! You scared me!!" She spoke smiling

"Did I?! Are you ever planing to leave these flowers?"

"Not really!!"

"What are you wearing?" He ask as he scan her up to down with a mischievous smile on his face

"I didn't have anything else to wear"

"I see.......let go inside, I bought cookies"

"You bought it!!! I could have baked it here"

"I don't want you to go through that stress"

"It not stress for me, I love to cook"

"That I can tell, let go shopping and get you some new clothes, what do you say?"

"Really!!! Let me grab the cookies, I will meet you in the car"

"You want to go with these clothes?"

"What wrong with what am wearing?"

"Nothing, just that they are too revealing"

" Okay, let me get dressed, I will be back" she quickly trims off the last part of the flowers before leaving.

She wore the same cloth she was wearing the day Oscar took her, didn't bother to style her hair properly for she was so excited to go shopping with Oscar.

Oscar and Alita sat at the back seat of the car while his driver was handling the steering, he held her hand tie while his left hand was across her shoulder,she rested her head on his shoulder so relax like there was nothing to bother about.

"Oscar! " She called but there was no reply from his end

"Am I pretty?" That was a question he was definitely not expecting, he try to let go off her hand, but she held unto him tie.

"Answer the question Oscar"

"Off course you are pretty Alita"

"So do you like me?" She ask and the temperature of the car suddenly felt hot for Oscar despite the air conditioner.

"Alita we have known each other for just a few days........"

"You don't need a year to know if you like me or not"

"What do you want me to say Alita?"

"The truth! I want to hear the truth from you"

"Alita....... you are a mistake that should never have happened, the more I look at you, the more you drive me crazy, I don't like you Alita, for f**k sake am madly in love with you, I know it not right, am not even suppose to be here with you, but I just can't help........." Alita didn't let him finish, she grab his face and kiss him so passionately, and then letting go off him, she smiled.

"That was all I needed to hear, am satisfied Oscar knowing you have me in your heart" she relax her head thanking her stars who brought Oscar her way.

As Oscar and Alita arrived at the boutique, every other customers were ask to leave cause he was their most important customer who helped in building the boutique, Alita was amazed at such amount of connection he had, she went through every section picking up as much as she wanted, Oscar just sat at the VIP section holding a glass of wine while Alita did her shopping, after they were done there, he took her to the grocery store where she got things she needed. By the time they were done, it was already 8pm, she was so exhausted and fell asleep the moment they got into the car.

After Oscar had put Alita to bed, he got a call again from his dad, he decided to go visit him and end theee as once and for all.

As Oscar drove to Henry's house, he could remember vividly how he had begged his dad for the cure to the poison his mom was inflicted with, but Henry turned a blind eyes to him, Oscar couldn't stop thinking of the many reasons why he despise his dad, but he knew if there was anyone that could get him information on the Russian cartel, that would be Henry Colby.

Oscar knew where exactly Henry would be, he had spent the last fifteen years of his life there.

Oscar walked into the warehouse suprise at what Henry has turn it to, there were gadgets everywhere, video coverage of the whole city, satellite transmitting voice record, Oscar didn't expect Henry to still have such data at his disposal.

"Finally you came" Henry spoke holding a cup of coffee.

"Like you left me with a choice"

"How are you son?" Henry ask but Oscar was silent, he finds himself a sit, still confuse at the surrounding.

"How is Alita?" Henry ask but oscar wasn't least suprise as to how he knew.

"Alita is none of your business, why am I here?"

"You are here because the Russian wants you dead"

"By the Russian, you mean the PYTON?" Oscar ask

"Good thing you are still resourceful, I taught all you did these few days was play with Vikram's pet?" Henry spoke and look at Oscar keenly, he knew he finally got his attention

"Vikram's pet, what the hell are you talking about and who is Vikram?"

"Since you know about the PYTON CARTEL, you should also know who the leader is, it Vikram, Darren sold his first daughter Alita to him when she was just eight, Vikram didn't want to get involve in your feud with Darren but then you crossed the line, you messed with his woman, and believe me when I tell you, if Vikram Singh wants you dead, then you are dead!!" As Henry spoke, his eyes were as cold as hell, he knew his son's life was at risk, he knew there was nothing that could be done, but Oscar was born with a different fate, he had cheated death more than ten times, there was one time when the doctor confirmed him dead but again Oscar raised to the amazement of everyone, and now hoping on the heavens, Henry wish his son will be able to cheat death Even just these once cause he knows that Vikram won't stop until Oscar is dead.

" If he wants me dead, he should come for me by himself, I will be waiting!!"

"You don't know who Vikram is, he can toture a soul without hurting the body." Henry stopped and for the first time in fifteen years, he looks at Oscar with those fatherly eyes. "Oscar it not too late, let Alita go, she is betrothed to him already, even if you keep holding onto her, she will never be yours, send her back to her parent"

"After fifteen years, now you want to be a dad, it too late, Alita is my problem, let me handle it!!" And with that, he walks away without even a second look.
